"Rise and shine sleepy heads!!" Alphonse chimed as he jumped on the bed of his formerly sleeping parents. Groans were admitted from both adults, and his mother opened one eye.
"What time is it, Al?" She asked.
"10:30." He said with a smile. Roy groaned.
"Too early. Going back to bed now." He mumbled as he rolled back over.
"Not if you wanna get married, Daddy." Ed chimed as he clomped into the room. Roy winced as another body jumped onto the bed, and he moaned louder as he was tackled by the smaller of the boys. His metal arm connected with Roy's hot skin, and Roy shivered. He opened his eyes, and he smiled at his oldest son. He winced again as Al jumped on him as well. He smiled as he hugged his sons, and he looked over as his soon to be wife put her head on his shoulder. He captured her lips with his own, and then entire family jumped as the door downstairs opened and closed, and many footsteps started to bound up the stairs. The door flew open, and there stood the panting twins, Jean and Haymens.
"HAPPY WEDDING DAY GENERAL MUSTANG AND MRS. GENERAL MUSTANG!!" They screamed in unison. Kain slowly entered the room behind them,
"Morning, sirs. Sorry to wake you if we did." He said in a rather insecure manner. Roy smiled warmly at his friend,
"Good morning Kain, twins. No you didn't wake us." Kain smiled, and Ashley walked behind him into the room.
"HI ALEX! ARE YOU READY TO GO GET PRETTY?!" Ash said more enthusaitcally then Alex had her her since her wedding day.
"If I say yes will everyone stop yelling?" Alex said with a smirk as she started to climb out of bed, but was pulled back by Roy. She fell back to bed with an 'umph' and she turned her head and his lips crashed into hers. He slide his tongue in her mouth and he then pulled away,
"Okay, now you can get up." Roy said as he looked as one of his sons made a bleching noise.
"Thank you, General." Alex said as she climbed out of bed. As she got out of bed, she was grabbed by Ash and almost carried off.
"Have fun boys!! Be at the church by 4!!" She called as she ran off down the stairs, Alex in tow, trying to pull on her pants. Roy smirked as he heard the door open and close, and he then started to pick himself up out of bed. As he did, he lifted his arms, and he had a son on each arm, and he glanced down at them as they dropped to the floor and smiled up at him. He couldn't help but smile back and he ruffled their hair,
"Come on, boys. We have a wedding to get ready for." Roy said as he moved towards the bathroom for a shower. He heard Kain leave the room with all the boys, and he turned on the water. As he climbed into the shower, he could have sworn he saw someone else in the mirror. He shook his head, I'm seeing things..A shower'll help me wake up' He thought as he got under the hot water, the thought was forgotten.
The day passed faster then it should have. By the time Alex could get a handle on things, she was alone in her dressing room while the brides maids; Ash, Riza, Gracia, and her cousin Erin got ready with the Maid of Honor, Katie. She finished her hair, and she glanced into the mirror, and she dropped her brush on the table. She turned around swiftly and she didn't see who she thought she had in the mirror. She could have sworn she'd seen her father. Her chest heaved in and out and she shook her head,
"Wedding Jitters." She told herself outloud. She went back to getting ready. She finished her makeup and glanced up again, and saw the same form in the mirror, and she started to say something when the door opened and her maids and the flower girls came in.
"Almost show time, you read-hey, you okay? You look really pale." Katie asked in a concerned way. Alex smiled,
"Jitters, really. I'm fine." She said with a laugh. Gracia and Ash agreed thats most likely what it was, they'd both been there themselves. It was time. The organ started, and the Priest, Roy, Ed, Al, and Havoc entered the church, waiting by the alter. Havoc was positioned a little farther back then normal because of his wheelchair. Then, Ashley and Kain, Erin and Armstrong, Riza and Falman, Gracia and Breda, and lastly, Katie processed in, lining up fartherest away from the bride's spot and groom. Next; Elycia and Maurina processed in as flower girls, followed closely by the twins as twins as ring bearers. Then, the bridal march started and the guests stood. Most glanced to the back of the church to see Alex being escorted in by her Grandfather, Walt who was in typical Military dress. Her dress was right off the shoulder, and she wore a viel over her face, and the train of the dress flowed out behind her. She smiled as she saw Roy, and she smiled wider as her Grandfather handed her off to Roy at the alter and took his seat next to her Grandmother. She was so distracted by how amazing this day was, the service was a blur. She recited her vows, and he recited his. The Preacher asked,
"Are there any objections? Speak now or forever hold your-" He was inturrupted by the shout of a child,
"PEEPEE!!" The entire church glanced to the left of the church were a mortified Grandmother was holding noneotherthen Kendall Fuery, already infamous for her badly timed outburst. The entire church glanced back around to the front and some noticed the Groom was having a very difficult time keeping a straight face. He wasn't the only one either, the Bride was smiling, as were some of the bride's maids, and the groomsmen, except Kain, who was again mortified. The preist cleared his throat,
"Speak now, or forever hold your peepee, Oh! I mean Peace. Hold your peace." No one said anything else. The blessing was given, and all she remembered was,
"I now prenouce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Roy smiled, and he leaned forward and his lips connected with his new wife. They faced the congrigation as Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mustang, and they processed out of the church.
At the Reception following the wedding at a rather nice hotel on the edge of Central, most everyone had had a bit to drink, so no one figured anything mattered anymore. Havoc had given his speech, and everyone was just dancing now. Alex and Roy had shared they're dance, and then she'd danced with other people; her Grandfather, Al, Ed, Armstrong, ect. Roy had only danced with Gracia; she told him she and Maes never ever thought they'd live to see the day he got married. He'd smiled about that. He glanced over towards the dancefloor, and he saw Alex kneeling to pick up Al, who looked increasingly sleepy. She carried him off the dancefloor, and she walked towards Roy,
"I'm going to take him upstairs. Can you watch Ed?" He smiled, leaned in and kissed her, and he nodded,
"Yeah, I got him. Goodnight Al." He kissed his younger son, and Al smiled,
"Night Daddy.." Alex carried Al upstairs. She unlocked the door to their room, and she placed Al in he and Ed's bed. She tucked him in, and she glanced over her shoulder where she thought she saw something. Nothing was there, so she went back to tucking in Al.
"Goodnight Baby." She leaned down and kissed his head. She turned off the light, and she grabbed the key. She left the room, and she got out into the hallway. She turned around and she locked the door back, and she saw a hand on the door next to hers, and she didn't bother to look up until she saw a ring that she knew on the fingers. She swallowed...it looked like her Father's ring, but her Father, Ben had died when she 13. She slowly looked up and low and behold, there he was. He smiled at her, the smile he'd always given her as a child, the praising smile, the smile that let her know he was proud of who she was. Her breath was caught in her throat, and he winked at her, blew her a kiss, and he was gone. She covered her mouth, and moved off down the hall, a single tear slipping from her right eye. Once she got back downstairs, she ran into her Grandfather, and he looked at her,
"Alex?"
"I saw Daddy.." She breathed. He smiled, and touched her shoulder,
"I'm not shocked.When you were a child he always raved about giving you away and what kind of man you would marry. He would be very very pleased now, I know that." She smiled, and she nodded, her nerves calming and the presence of her Father seeming more like a blessing. Across the room, Roy looked around because he felt like he was being watched, but it felt as though he knew the glance from somewhere, then his eyes met the eyes he thought he'd seen earlier. He gasped, and almost lost grip on the wine glass he held. He was face to face with Maes Hughes, his dead best friend. He blinked, and he saw Hughes smile. Maes lifted a hand, waved with three fingers, and bowed his head as he walked off.
"Goodbye Maes.." Roy said, as he hung his head, and he was hugged from the side by his new wife.
"Why the long face?"
"I saw Maes.."
"I saw Daddy upstairs." She whispered as he stared at her. She smiled, and he leaned down and took her lips in his own.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Several weeks later, the Wedding photographers were looking through the pictures. They got to the shots of the Wedding party. Something changed from one picture to the next, by two people. The two men compared the pictures, in one, was the wedding party they remember
"I don't remember these two..." One of them pointed at a man in glasses, and another man, an older looking man standing to the left of the bride and the groom.
"Spooky...maybe they're ghosts." Both men laughed.
"Ghosts, yeah right. That's funny man."
Once the pictures got back to the Mustangs, they figured out once in for all they weren't crazy; they had seen who they thought they had.
