Chapter 7
A few months have passed and it was Airi and Mitsukuni's wedding day. They were about to postpone the wedding due to Airi getting food poisoning from bad fish. Airi is getting help from maids with her gown. It's a sleek white gown with a embroidered design. The design is also on the tip of the train. Her hair is pulled up into a bun and has a long veil. Her makeup is really light. She and Mitsukuni agreed upon a small wedding. Friends, family, and the house servants. Haruhi walks in. Shes bigger and waddles over to Airi. "You look amazing Airi!" She smiles to her. Airi looks at her stomach and smiles.
"How much longer?" She asks, use to Haruhi's pregnancy.
"About eleven weeks." She rubs her stomach and smiles. "Tamaki is ecstatic that it's a girl."
"Oh it's a girl!?" Airi claps and Haruhi looks like she put her foot in her mouth.
"I wasn't suppose to tell you yet…."
"I'm glad you did! Still being ill has had me in a bummed mood all day."
"You're still sick? Have you been to a doctor?"
"Yeah. I got food poisoning from bad fish. I'm ok now just that leftover icky feeling."
Haruhi looks at her face. "You do look really pale…."
"I'm fine really." The maids helping her leave and another one walks in.
"Two minutes miss Airi." She bows to her. Airi gives a slight bow back and Haruhi heads to the door.
"Congrats Airi. I hope you and Mitsukuni are really happy." She flashes Airi a wide smile before walking out. Airi feels a bit light headed but takes her position. The maid comes to get her taking her to her father. A middle aged man with salt and pepper hair and a business type mustache to match. He is in a white suite and smiles at her.
"You look beautiful Airi." He kisses her cheek and hooks his arm with her. Once the music plays, a huge pair of double doors open and they walk down the aisle. Mitsukuni stares at Airi and smiles wide getting a bit teary. All the sickness that she felt, at the pain and sadness over the past few months went away.
Once to Mitsukuni, the ceremony proceeded. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He noticed she was still pale and leaned over to her and whispers. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. I'm still getting over the food poisoning." She whispers back, trying to pay attention.
"Still…. Should we wait for the honeymoon?"
"No. I'm fine. We need a vacation sweetie. After all the work you had to do, the wedding planning, the meetings. We need this. A few weeks away will be amazing." The minister clears his throat and Mitsukuni straightens up and yells.
"I DO!" The room giggles and the minister glares at him.
"I asked you if you had your vows Mr Haninozuka."
Mitsukuni turns red and clears his throat facing Airi. "A-Airi. The moment I met you, my life changed. You seen me as a kid, and I had fallen for you, I didn't see my old self taking you as a wife, and loving you. So I grew up. To be the man you see now. I love you Airi. I always will." Airi is teary and starts her vows.
"Honey…" He hadn't heard her call him that in a long time. "The first time I seen you, I had feelings for you. No matter how you changed, and how quickly, I loved you. It felt odd. Because as a lolita, or as a man, the women loved you." They all chuckle a bit. "But my eyes were glued to you. I pictured this moment after our first kiss. I love you more than life."
They exchange rings and kiss. After pictures they hugged everyone and everyone seen them off for their honeymoon. While in the limo, Airi leaned against Mitsukuni and dozed off. He plays with her hair and chuckles. He hears the squealing of car tires and looks to their right, he sees headlights and shields Airi. "AIRI!" That was all he managed to get out before the crunch of metal filled the night.
