Moving On

Chapter 2

The party was a blast. There were food and drinks and the sound of the music blaring and the chatter of the guests made the atmosphere feel very at home. Signum was sitting on the verandah outside with Touya, further discussing plans for their wedding ceremony. Hayate continued watching them, further irritated that the two had not said anything about what they were planning even though they had followed them all day until evening to which they parted to get ready for Nanoha's Christmas party. Truthfully spoken, that was because every time the two entered a shop or building, someone would block them and they could not see where the two went and tracking them was the last thing anyone thought of. By the time Rein suggested it, the two had already parted. Hayate let out a sigh of disappointment but stopped when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see that it was Fate.

"Have you seen Signum?" she asked and the brunette nodded, pointing toward the verandah.

The two made their way through the crowd as they could hear Signum laughing through the half opened screen that led outside. They stopped a while to listen.

"So then how many do you want?" they heard Touya asked in an irritated tone.

"One is too little. Maybe two or three or if you want, many more." they heard Signum reply.

"Really, as many as I want?" he asked.

"The sky is the limit."

"Wait a minute don't tell me, you probably want all girls huh." the two freeze in short realization.

"No, I don't mind a mix of both. I can guarantee they will look so very much like you." she replied in a rather seductive tone. Fate and Hayate froze in shock as the two registered the topic of the conversation, both suggesting the same thing.

"Hmm, the girls will no doubt look as beautiful as their mother…" his sentence cut short when Hayate and Fate step in.

"Signum, are you pregnant?" the shouted in unison.

Signum turned crimson in surprise, that and because she was not pleased that her mistress and her rival had been listening in on her private conversation.

"No, I am not pregnant. And why on earth are you listening in on our conversation?" the pink knight said, obviously furious.

"Uh, that's because we, err, heard wrong and umm, you were happy all day and you didn't want to tell so…." the brunette unsuccessfully tried to explain. Signum just smacked herself on the head while Touya tried to help.

"Well, if you want to know so much, we're engaged." he explained.

Hayate and Fate froze in shock, Signum and Touya watching them to see their reaction, fearing the worst of course. Suddenly, Hayate and Fate cheered like crazy making Signum and Touya jump in alarm. The cheering was heard by the other guests and so inquiries about the situation went about. The blonde and brunette happily announce the news to which the room burst into more cheers. Signum and Touya turned a shade darker embarrassed by the sudden attention they were getting and the questions that were thrown at them ranging from wedding plans to future family plans. What a great party this is.

The wedding plans went about smoothly with the occasional suggestions about the theme and the sort. Signum dealt with the processions for that day including the vows and the ring exchange. Touya made reservations and last minute changes and additional plans. Hayate had been so excited since she found out and had bombed Signum endlessly with questions and suggestions. Even Vita pitied her. Signum was grateful for the help given, trying to tolerate the silly and outrageous of suggestions even if they were mostly sarcastic. One day, it stopped, at last. Signum was happy about it and Touya could see it show when they were having lunch together.

"So, now that the torture of having to listen to suggestions has ended, may I ask that I be given the chance to finally throw my bachelor party?" Signum gave him a feline smile.

"Oh so there was a reason to you treating me out to lunch recently…" she trailed off. Touya did not dare say anything else in any case he made his situation worse.

"You can have your party but not if you're inviting Vaughn and that I also get to throw my own bachelorette party."

"Ok, ditch Vaughn and…. What?" watching a smile on her face.

"You heard me." she told him with a sweet smile. "If you can have a party I should be able to as well." kissing him on the lips as she got up to leave.

"You going to start planning already?" he asked to which she nodded.

"The wedding date is drawing near you know and time is short, unless you're having your party after the wedding." she said in a laughing tone. Touya just gave a small 'ha ha' as a reply to her joke.
