"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Before the paster could end the word 'may', Flora and Helia were already engaged in a loving kiss. It lasted for only a few seconds, however, as their parents were attending, the real celebrating would have to happen that night.

As Flora looked out to the attendee's she knew she was happy with her choice of a small ceremony. And my small, she meant that she was wearing a knee-length white wrap dress, and Helia was just wearing a white dress shirt and black dress pants. But not only did they opt out of the typical dress code, but also the people.

Only four people watched the ceremony, Flora's parents and Helia's. It's not like the Winx and Specialists weren't invited, it was just that they didn't want a big ceremony that would take months to throw together. Also, they kind of didn't know they were engaged... So, the two of them took a week off and called their parents up, who immediately came to watch the small but beautiful ceremony in a quaint church in Linfea.

Flora's mother had tears in her eyes, as did Helia's. Both of their fathers were smiling brightly. She knew that 17 years old her, who had fallen for Helia almost instantly, would be screaming at the thought of a small ceremony. But back then she didn't understand love, and the many ways it can change you.

Now, how the hell was she going to tell the Winx…

4 months later…

Flora burst into the hospital and ran at top speed to the room the nurse had said Helia was in, the girls following behind her. Much to her surprise, when she entered the room, she found Helia sitting up and perfectly fine. She approached him, out of breath.

"What's wrong?" She asked, taking his pale hand into her tan one.

Helia looked calm and content as he answered, "I was teaching one of the first years and his blade grazed my stomach, it's just a scratch."

Flora breathed a sigh of relief, as did the girls.

"The nurse I talked to made out you were dying," Flora breathed as she placed her forehead on their joined hands.

Before Helia could respond, the specialists barged into the already crowded room.

"What happened?" Riven is the first to speak.

"First years sword scratched me. I wanted to just stick a bandage on it, but the medic insisted I go to the hospital. Apparently, I have to get stitches now."

"But the nurse we talked to-" Nabu began.

"Apparently is a little theatrical and dramatic when it comes to giving out information on people's health." Helia finished.

The door opened once more, but instead of another friend or family member, a small, petite nurse walked in instead. She jumped when she saw how many people were in the room.

"Oh, did you get told by Nancy to come?"

"That's her!" Sky exclaimed, "that's the name of the nurse."

The nurse nodded sadly, "she can be a little dramatic…"

"Dramatic?" Stella asked, "she made out Helia was in a coma or an unstable condition. Flora nearly had a heart attack."

"I apologize for that," the small woman began, "my name is Julia, I'm just here to give Helia his stitches. I'm afraid you will all have to leave, with the exception of Mrs. Knightly of course."

Flora and Helia froze.

The group, however, laughed.

"I'm afraid you've been mistaken, Julia. Flora and Helia aren't even engaged, though I do agree he should put a ring on it." Brandon laughs with the others.

"Uh," Julia looks down at her clipboard, "there must be a mistake then, it clearly states that Flora Knightly, previously known as Flora Linphea is Helia's next of kin and wife."

The group starts laughing and looks at the frozen couple.

"Tell me it's a mistake," Stella begins.

Flora and Helia look down.

Julia, sensing the need for privacy, leaves the room with a simple; "I see now is not a good time."

"It's not a mistake," Flora says quietly.

"Wha- when?" Aisha asks.

"Around four months ago," Helia replies, his thumb rubbing Flora's palm, "but were engaged a week before that."

"Just one week? What was the rush?" Musa questioned.

"We were engaged the morning we got the news about Trimos taking over Zenith," Flora spoke, "when we came back we wanted to tell you about it-"

"-but we immediately flew to Zenith," Tecna fills in, Flora nods.

"When we were there it was essentially a week of non stop battles, there was no time to pull everyone aside and go 'hey we got engaged', it was never the right time," Flora continues, squeezing Helia's hand, "when we were there the both of us had a particularly close call where we thought we were going to die. The last thought on my mind was that we were going to die engaged to each other, but no one was going to know."

Helia took this as his time to continue, "when we got back we gave each other a week of vacation, the first day we had off we called our parents and said our vows to each other in front of them in a small church in Linfea," he takes a breath, "we spent the last 6 days 'honeymooning' in Linfea."

"Were you going to tell us at any point?" Brandon asks, slightly annoyed.

"We've tried to countless of times now," Helia replied again, "we wanted to tell you the first day back, but we had a mission."

"We were going to announce it at the 10 year Winx celebration dinner, but Brandon and Stella announced their engagement and we didn't want to steal their thunder." Flora provided.

"We were also planning on telling you tonight," Flora started again, taking a deep breath, "when I was going to announce my resignation."

"What!?" The whole room of members shrieked, with the exception of Flora and Helia.

Flora looked at Helia with a questioning glance and he nodded, a smile on his face.

"We were actually trying to hide something else," Helia said, letting go of Flora's hand so she could stand up.

"It's not just the two of us anymore," Flora continues, and then raises up her jumper to reveal a small bump on her stomach, "It's also our daughter."

If the jaws of the Winx and Specialists hadn't hit the ground before, they were smashed into tiny pieces on the floor now.

"You're pregnant?" Aisha asks with tears in her eyes.

The smile Flora throws at them is one of the brightest they have ever seen, and Helia's is not so far behind.

"Come here, girl!" The fairy of waves says, rushing over to the girls and crushing her in a hug.

The girls soon follow, saying comments such as "oh my god", "no way", "congratulations", and of course, Stella also provides a name.

"I'm telling you, Stella is a perfect name for a daughter."

The whole room erupts into joyous laughter.

"We already have a name for her," Flora says, hugging the guys as they come out of their shocked state.

"What is it?" Musa asks.

"Avery."

Like that little touch, I added there? This kind of ties in with the first fic I wrote, but I honestly don't care because I finally am over my writer's block, hurray!

So this kind of came from a guest who suggested a wedding or proposal, I wanted to write it but I didn't want it to be to cliche… hope it worked.

I would like to put a special thanks out there to liliana765 and winxkate for your suggestions. You both provided me with a lot of ideas and I'm constantly trying to conjure up some little mischievous plot lines for you guys! Stay tuned for those fics!

Keep suggesting and reading!

Lots of love, IDCILKS (I tried, I promise to never do it again).
