hey guys! I'm so sorry it's been so long since i last updated! I have been soooo busy lately! Well, without further ado, here is chapter 2. Also, I don't not speak French, at all! Haha, I've learned only about 5 words in French.
I only know Spanish, some Italian and of course English. Now, you French speaking people out there, please help me with any errors I make in involving French speaking and traditions. Thank you and bless you all, my wonderful readers.
Lumiere stares up at Babette, watching as tears are falling down her face.
"Oh, Lumiere, yes! Yes I will marry you!" Babette chokes out, feeling the coldness of the ring as it is slipped on to her left ring finger. Lumiere jumps up and kisses Babette's forehead.
"I can't wait to start out lives together. You, my beautiful fiancé, have made me the happiest man in the world." He whispers, enveloping her into a hard embrace.
"Oh Lumiere, please. I'm not that beautiful." Babette says, her voice muffled by Lumiere's shoulder.
"Well of course you are mon fiancée ! Tu es la plus belle femme dans tout l'univers. N'ose même pas penser que ce n'est pas le cas." Lumiere whispers in her ear. Babette looks up at him, with tears in her eyes yet again.
"In the whole universe? R-really?"
"Really." Lumiere leans in and lightly kisses her on the lips. He reaches up and wipes away the tears that are starting to fall down Babette's face with his thumb.
"Lumiere, you make me feel so lucky to have you. Can we now go tell the others please?" Babette looks up at Lumiere and pouts.
"Oh I can never say no to that face." He grabs her hand and they both run to the castle, both smiling and laughing as they reach the castle doors. As they stop to catch their breath, they look at each with excitement and love.
"You ready?" Lumiere asks. Babette nods her head and opens the door. Lumiere then guides Babette to the ballroom where everyone is waiting.
"Excuse me everyone, excuse me!" Lumiere bellows, causing everyone's attention to be turned towards the couple. "I have an announcement to make, " Lumiere gently pulls Babette closer to him, "you are looking at soon-to-be Monsuir and Madam Lumiere Montelle! This beautiful woman right here as agreed go become my wife!" At that, everyone runs over to the couple, enveloping them in big hugs and words of love and encouragement.
"Congratulations you guys! "Belle says, with Prince Adam by her side. "You have both our blessings. "
"This is just simply wonderful! Oh, another wedding! I don't know how much my heart can take! " A sweet, old voice exclaims, coming up to the couple.
"Thank you all, really." Lumiere beams.
"Now, how about we all enjoy this wondrous occasion with a feast and a dance. " Mrs. Potts then claps he hands and the kitchen staff comes and starts to roll out trays of food and takes them into the dining hall.
"Babette?" Belle places and hand on her arm gently, causing the young maid to look up at the princess.
"Yes your Highness?"
"As your bestest friend, I better be your maid of honor. "Belle jokes, winking at her as the royal couple travels to the dining hall. Everyone else in the castle follows them suit, leaving the engaged couple alone, once again.
"Oh Lumiere, I have no words to describe what I'm feeling right now except, just, wow..." Babette whispers, smiling up at Lumiere.
"I know me too my Babette!" He then scoops her up and twirls her around, causing both of them to laugh as they walk also to the dining hall, where they are greeted with a table that has almost every type of dish you can think of.
"After you, my dear." Lumiere gestures for Babette to go ahead and sit right next to Belle, him following right behind her.
"Did all of you know about this?" Babette asks once everyone had their fill of food.
"Yes, actually. I was having such a hard time not telling you. " Belle says, wiping her mouth gently with a napkin.
"Well you all did a good job, I had no clue about this! Thank you all!" Prince Adam then leans towards the couple and says,
"If you both like, we will discuss the wedding tomorrow after my meeting at noon."
"Yes, that would be splendid your majesty, thank you." Lumiere says.
"Well now, everyone, I hope you have a wonderful time tonight, unfortunately, Belle and I must turn in for the night." The Prince says, guiding his wife to their chambers.
"Lumiere, Babette, you don't have to worry about cleaning up, go on, enjoy yourselves!" Mrs. Potts says, after everyone else retires to their room.
"Thank you Mrs. Potts" Babette says.
"Come on, let's go to bed my dear" Lumiere whispers, guiding Babette to their room, "we have a lot to do tomorrow."
Annnddd that's the end of chapter two!
