Anyway, let me stop talking enjoy!

-something else sorry, I changed a few things from the original. This is about three years into the future, not four. And Alexandra's nicknames will include- Alex, Lexi, and Lexa but mainly Lexa.
RPOV:
Thump Thump Thump
I was running fast, completely out of breath and my heels killing me. I knew these were just one inch to high. All the while my phone is ringing with Lissa calling and Alexandra screaming my name in my arms.
This was not the way my day was planned. I was supposed to wake up early, get Lexa dressed and get ready on time to make it to Lissa's to get her ready, but then I clicked snooze one too many times…
The worst part of this, is that today was Lissa's wedding and she was spam calling me meanwhile my two-year-old was having a tantrum. Awesome.
Once we arrived at Lissa's I put Lexa down, out of breath and knocked on the door. Not even a minute later the door opened and I had view of a very angry Lissa, both physically and I could feel it through the bond.
"Rose! You're an hour late! Now we are behind schedule and my wedding-" Lissa scrambled but I cut her off. "Lissa, breathe. We still have 5 hours until your wedding." I sighed, she wanted be to be here right at dawn, but that was Lissa. Always prepared.
"Aunt Lissie" Lexa smiled, and Lissa happily took her into her arms giving her a hug. I felt Lissa calming through the bond, and her anger turning into pure admiration toward Lexa.
We walked into the Dragomir Suite, and like always, I was completely taken away. This building was meant for all of Lissa's family, but they happened to pass away so Lissa had it all to herself, Christian, and her future family. There were about 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a huge kitchen, living area, family room, dining room, and then a play are for Lexa as me and her were here very often.
Once we were into the main living area, I picked up Lexa and in my "baby bag" I took out a bottle of juice and gave it to Lexa and turned on the TV and put on Mickey Mouse. It was still early so I hoped Lexa would fall asleep allowing me to focus on getting Lissa ready.
But as soon as Mickey came on I was met with Lexa clapping her hands and singing "Misca muca mickey mou" and some baby talk, at that I smiled to myself, and before leaving her on the couch I gave her a kiss on the head and made my way to Lissa.
"C'mon Liss, let's get started." I said, while making my way into the bathroom nearest to the living room where Lexa is. I started setting up. First, I took out the curling wand and let it heat up while taking out all the makeup and then getting out the hairspray and accessories.
Shaking, Lissa came and sat down in the seat I had set up. This bathroom was so big it could pass for a bedroom. It had a shower, bathtub, sink, and of course the toilet. But then it had a Vanity which we were now using.
Through the bond I felt nervousness buzzing from Lissa. "Liss, its ok. It will go well. We have been planning this since we were kids." I said, smiling at her. "I know Rose, it's just that I wish my parents were here to see it." Lissa explained, a sad demeanor in her voice. "I know, but they're here with you. In your heart, and I just know if they can see you now they'd be so proud" with that, she smiled a sad smile.
"Now, enough sad talk. Let's talk about what's your dream look?" I asked, and she smiled laughing. "Well…"
"There you go" I squealed when I finished curling the last strand of hair and applying the hairspray. I had finished her look-which took an hour and half-and she looked so beautiful. All that was left was her dress.
With Lissa, she really didn't need much. All she needed was some concealer. She naturally had beautiful clear skin. I then applied a white base and then added a layer of gold shadow. It was very vibrant and looked amazing with her pale skin. I added some winged eye liner and mascara. I then used bronzer to enhance her cheek bones a pale pink blush. Finally, I added some highlighter to her nose and applied a light pink nude looking lip stick. She really was a princess.
As if on cue, Lexa walked into the bathroom and went "Auntie Lissie a princess" even though it came out as "Aunie liffie a pwincess". Both me and Lissa laughed and Lexa started dancing around. I then picked her up and spinned her around in the air while the air was filled with Lexa's laughs.
"Hey, guess what?" I asked Lexa who then turned her attention to me and nodded, "Now it's your turn to become a princess" and at that, she squealed and yelled even louder "Lex a pwincess, and auntie liffa, I ant wai!" (A/N anyone else love baby talk? Sorry if it's hard to understand, I mean, baby talk is hard to understand in general)
I smiled and picked her up and sat her up on the vanity. Me and Lissa then began getting Lexa ready. Lissa did her hair while I applied very little makeup. I added a little pink eyeshadow to make her feel special and some blush. Then, some pink lip gloss. This didn't take long so I then helped Lissa out with Lexa's hair.
After about 30 minutes Lexa was done. Her hair was straightened with braids going across the side of her head and tying up in the back with flowers in the braids since she's the flower girls. Lexa looked in the mirror and couldn't stop smiling at who she saw.
"What are you smiling about huh?" I laughed, tickling Lexa at this she laughed. I love her so much.
Then, it was my turn. There wasn't much to do for me. I'd already did my makeup when I woke up, all that was left was to touch up my makeup. Lissa added royal blue eyeshadow to match my bridesmaid/maid of honor dress and some red lipstick. All was left was to fix some of my curls in my hair. In total, I only took about 30 minutes. We still had about 2 ½ hours until the wedding. We had some time.
We continued getting ready by getting dressed. First, we got little Alexandra dressed. She had a Royal Blue dress (and if you couldn't tell, the theme was Royal blue) that had a layer of a clear white shaded material over the royal blue. Next, there's a white ribbon that ties around her waist and in the front to the right has a white flower. We paired this with some clear nude tights and white flats. Finally, I made sure to get her a matching white sweater since its night and I knew it would get cold and the last thing I want is for her to get sick.
Then, I got ready. I had the same shade of Royal Blue on my dress. My dress was a flowy dress that had a material with different translucent lines leading up from my chest all the way to the end of my arms. I then added a necklace and the Dragomir guardian bracelet. Finally, a ring that was a gold shade.
I paired this look with the white heels I had come here with. I was just a little too lazy to carry them…
Finally, the last of us to get dressed with an hour left, was Lissa. She was so nervous she was shaking, and because of the bond I was shaking.
"Liss, are you ready?" I asked, taking her dress out from the wrapping. She physically gulped and laughed nervously.
As I was about to tell her to start getting undressed, from across the room all you can hear is "Imwa pwety litwl pwincess, yay" Lexa yelled, spinning with her dress flowing in the air. I smiled, my heart feeling so full I thought it might combust out of my chest.
"She's a sweetheart" Lissa smiled
"Ya, keep saying that, you just haven't seen her throwing a tantrum" I laughed
"Just like her mother" Lissa sighed
"Yup… just like her mother"
"Liss?" I asked
"Yes?"
"Are you sure Tasha isn't coming?"
There was silence for a few moments, then she answered
"Yes. She said she can't make it because she has classes lined up"
"Okay…" I sighed. "Well, let's get you dressed" at that, she smiled.
We slid on Lissa's dress pretty easily and was able to zip it up without a problem.
Lissa's dress was a long and puffy fairytale dress every little girl wished to have. It was off the shoulder, so a silky fabric sat about halfway down her shoulder. Then, around her waist line was a bunch of little diamonds lining her waist. Her veil was as long as her dress, and she looked truly beautiful. Looking at her made tears build up in my eyes. I was so proud of her.
Then, the limo beeped. We both laughed, right on time. I quickly packed some juice, a bottle, and some blankets for Lexa and picked up her toys. I opened up my arms for her to come to me, and she happily came. She started yawning and rubbing her eyes. Ah, she was getting tired.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and put her head at the nook of my neck and whispered "I luv you mama" and I smiled, "I love you too, baby"
I started lightly bouncing her as we got into the limo and it took off. It was about 11:00 pm and Lissa was supposed to come down the aisle at 11:45 pm. Perfect timing.
When we arrived, I took Lissa to a back room where she was then getting prepared. But she wasn't alone because Mia Rinaldi was there, waiting for her. She was the event coordinator.
I said goodbye and walked into the big rented room where the ceremony was to take place. With Alexandra who was still fast asleep in my arms, I admired the set up. It looked so royal. There were tables to the far left with the colors royal blue and gold. And then the pews were white and the floor was even royal blue. There was then drapes coming off the walls in blue, white, and gold colors. Then, the food buffet. There were all kinds of foods. Anything you could think of. Tacos, rice, beans, chicken, pork, lasagna, fries, chicken nuggets, then the deserts. Don't, get my started on the deserts. My mouth began watering.
I walked up to the pews until I was met with Adrian. When he saw me, he smiled and was about to talk, but then noticed a sleeping Lexa. I tried to maneuver her in my arms but then she started stirring and then shot up. Great. She literally only slept for 20 minutes.
"mama, I ake let me pway" she said, wiggling in my arms. I smiled, and then put her down. Following wherever she was going with Adrian in tow. While following Alex around, we began to mingle. More importantly the Ozera family. Somebody who I believed was Christians cousin, introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Manny Ozera" he introduced, putting his hand out for me to shake which I did happily. "And who are you, little one?" he asked Lexa. She smiled. "I'm Alexandra Mason B. Hathaway!" she said, proud she remembered her full name.
We talked for a bit, before everyone began settling down and the wedding was supposed to begin. Mia came to me, and took Lexa from me, confirming it was time to get started.
Less than five minutes later Lexa was walking down the aisle holding a basket of flowers and throwing them to the ground. She had a radiant smile that looked just like her fathers. Sigh.
As she was going down the aisle I made my way to the back door getting ready for Lissa. When I was met with her again, I reminded her to breathe. And then, hooking my arm around hers, it was showtime. I was filling in as Lissa's dad. Which I didn't mind, I gladly took this place, feeling honored.
The doors opened, and the music hummed in the background as we made our way down the aisle. Walking, I could see Christian. I could see how happy he looked. I could see the love practically radiating off him while looking at Lissa.
I smiled, happy for them, happy they were getting to start a family together. Get to grow old with each other, get to have a family and be happy…
When we made it up to the stand, I let go of Lissa and went to stand to the side. Looking at the pews, I saw Alex, and basically all of court. Every Moroi, royal or not, came to this wedding. Tatiana came and along the back wall was almost all the guardians.
Hans, Jean, and many more. And looking to my right I saw- no.
Looking to the person next to him I saw her.
Tasha.
Dimitri.
I was not told they were coming.
The someone screamed.
But of course, it was none other than my daughter.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! I had so much fun writing it, and please review! I take criticism, if its positive. Also, sorry if I have bad grammar… anywho, have a beautiful day!
