Chapter Ten : The Final Say

Five Months Later

I got the invite two months ago.

Two months and eleven days to be exact. (Not like I was counting or anything...)

And today was the Big Day.

I even got a couple of calls from Jade saying: "Hey, how are you doing over at Quinn's? I heard he got himself a girl...A human girl! Good for him!"

One from Rowan: "Hey, Ash, I'm a little worried about you. Are you alright at Quinn's? I mean...with Rashel and everything... Please come to the wedding. We all miss you."

From Kestrel: "You asshole! Why didn't you stay? Jesus! Really? You better come back for Mare's wedding or I'll kick your ass to China!"

And, surprisingly, one from Mark: "Hey, Ash. I know I don't really..you know...talk to you...but I feel like I really have to say this. Ever since you left, Mare hasn't been herself. I mean, almost every night I can hear her crying. When she's in the shower, when she's cooking, or when she's just on the porche, staring up at the stars. Please, come make her happy again. Thanks."

When I read that, I had a newfound rspect for Mark.

But I was still debating on going.

I slowly pulled myself out of bed, and ignored the giggles and playful squeals coming from Quinn's room.

God, couldn't they quite for like, and hour?

I trudged into my bathroom and took a look at myself.

My hair had gotten longer, just past my ears; my eyes looked tired, and I swear that I looked more than twenty-five years old.

I actually looked...human.

There was a loud thump, then another fit of squeals.

"I need to get out of here, man." I said to myself.

Did humans get this crazy, too? Did the end up talking to themselves after they went insane?

I washed my face then walked back to the bed, sitting on the corner.

I sighed and rubbed my neck.

I looked back at the door and eyed the tuxedo Quinn had got for me.

Him and Rashel were going too. But I guess they wanted a little...fiesta...before they went.

I groaned and walked to the door, picking up the tux.

I held out at arms length, twisting back and forth.

I tilted my head up to the ceiling and grumbled, "Dear Lord, you can kill me later."

The wedding was held at the one and only...House of Aunt Opal.

As we pulled in, Rashel giggled, "Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful!"

It really was.

White and pink roses were pinned on the railings of the porche, and beautiful silk bows were hung at the end of each pole.

It was what Mare had always wanted.

Except with the wrong person.

Quinn parked and they both got out pretty fast, I just took my time and sauntered to the backyard, where the ceremonie would be held.

When I rounded the corner, I was attacked.

"Ash!" Jade hugged my tightly around the neck as I swung her around.

"Hey there, baby girl." I smiled at her, dropping her on her feet.

"What are you, from New Jersey?" She questioned, tilting her head to one side.

I laughed, "Not everyone talks like that, Jade."

"Whaaaatever..." She drawled. she threw her hands up. I caught a glimpse of something shiny.

A...what...no...way...

I snapped my hand out and grabbed her left wrist.

"Ow! Ash, that hurt!" She whined.

I pulled her hand infron of my face.

A ring.

On her ring finger.

That only ment...

"Mark proposed?" I nearly screamed at her.

She giggled, "Yup! I said yes!"

"Well, no shit, Sherlock." I scoffed.

"Shut up!" She huffed, crossing her arms above her chest.

"Ash!"

I turned and saw Rowan in a beautiful white dress and her short hair was curled into perfect ringlets.

"Rowan." I smiled and gathered her into a hug.

"Hey, there, stranger!" She laughed and hugged me tightly, "Thank you for coming."

I stifled back a sob, "I wouldn't miss it," I lied.

Rowan pulled away and touched my cheek, "You look older."

I laughed nervously, "Yeah, having Quinn and Rashel going at it almost twenty-four seven really cuts back on my beauty rest, you know." I joked.

Rowan and Jade laughed. I felt my mouth tugged at the corner too.

Then someone rang a little bell.

What was this? Girl Guides Camp?

"Oooh! Time to go sit down!" Jade squealed and ran away towards the seats.

Rowan sighed and took my hand. I pulled away slowly.

"Ash?" She asked.

I could barely breath, "Just need...some air."

Except for the fact that we were outside.

"But we...oh..alright." She waved and trotted off to Jade's side.

I bent over and clutched my stomach, feeling sick.

"Got a hold of yourself, dammit!" I growled at myself.

Finally, I stood up and walked to the seats.

Everyone was sitting down; they were all quiet.

I leaned softly on the stone poll and looked up at the alter. John was standing there already.

Then someone started playing the piano.

Then, Mare came into view, her father at her arm.

My heart wrenched in my chest.

She was beautiful; she wore a simple white dress that had little sequins on the bodice, and the long sleeves were made out of lace. Her veil hung in her beautiful face.

But what I realized the most was her eyes. They looked...empty and regret seeped in them.

She turned and kissed her dad, who was bawling like a baby, on his cheek, then stood next to John.

Both of them turned, Mare's face was faced towards mine. The Preecher started with the vows.

John did his.

But, I stared at her; I couldn't help it.

My love, my life, my only, my soulmate was getting married today. I wanted to cry.

I watched her as her eyes moved across the crowd, then grew as they settled on me.

Her mouth dropped and her hand flew to her mouth.

I saw the Preecher cough, and turn to Mare.

She paid no attention to him.

"Excuse me, miss. But, do you accept this man as your lawfly wedded husband?" He repeated again.

Mare stared at me. I mouthed "Go on," as a tear slid down my cheek.

God, I was getting to be such a sap.

John looked at Mare, then at me, and something changed in his eyes as he looked back at Mare.

I heard him say, "Go to him. It's clear that you still love him. I love you, you know that. And I know that you love me, but not the way that you love Ash. I can't compete with him. I'll never win. You two belong together. Go to him, Mary-Lynnette."

She looked up at him startled, then hugged him, "Thank you, John. I'm so sorry."

He chuckled a little as he let her go, "I should've known the minute he came back. I could tell. Be happy. I love you."

She smiled, "I love you too."

The crowd gasped, but I heard a fairly loud, "Woo hoo!" And knew that it was Kestrel.

Mare lifted up her dress and began to run towards me, I met her halfway and she fell into my arms.

"Ash! You came back!" She cried into my neck.

I swung her around and kissed everywhere that I could reach. Except her mouth.

"I know. You knew that I would. I love you." I whispered in her ear.

She held me tighter as I stopped spinning in circles, "I love you too, you big idiot." She laughed.

I heard the Preecher clear his throat. "Is there going to be a wedding today?"

Mare started to say no, but I cut her off.

"Yes. Yes there is." I got down on one knee and hel Mare's hand.

Mary-Lynnette, I promise to love you with all of my heart, until the day we pass. I love yo so much." I paused for dramatic affect.

"Will. You. Marry. Me?" I said.

Mare started crying and her head bobbed up and down. "Yes! Yes, of course!" She squealed.

I got up and hugged her closely, then led her to the alter.

This was it, my day. Her day. Our day.

Finally.

We said our vows, put the rings on, and at last, the Preecher said, "I now prenounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"

I pulled Mare to me, and dipped her down, planting a loving kiss on her lips.

The crowd erupted with applause, hoots, and whistles.

after a long kiss, I pulled Mare back up with me.

We walked down the aisle, hand in hand.

Once we were in the car, Mare whispered in my ear, "I guess I just forgot that I loved you."

I kissed her again and leaned my forehead against hers.

"I love you, Mare."

She sighed and smiled, "I love you, too. Always have, always will."

We kissed again as the car drove off.

Forever together.

Always.

hahaha..you thought it was over...well...not yet! ;)

Eleven Years Later

"No, daddy! Don't take Poofy! You take Mr. Cuddles!" Vira cried, clutching her little, sorf, pink stuffed unicorn. Her fangs poked out from behind her lips.

"Oh? I'm so sorry! Where's Mr. Cuddles?" I asked, looking around like a pirate.

Vira giggled, "Daddy you're silly!" Then in a very serious tone, "It's the big white bear!"

Oh right! How could I forget Mr. Cuddles? It was this huge white bear that came up to my shoulders.

Of course, it was a gift from Jade and Mark for Vira's third birthday.

I grabbed it and flung it over my back.

"Let's go daddy!" She said, taking my hand.

I let her drag me up the stairs, across the hall and into Mare and mine's room.

There Mare stood, with Blair in her arms, and Damien was on the bed, reading his favorite book, Dracula.

Go figure?

Vira let go of my hand and ran to Mare, slamming into her legs. "Mommy!"

Mare smiled and looked down, "Hi, sweetie. Was daddy playing tea party with you?" She asked, looking up and making a face at me.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Yeah! He even brought Mr. Cuddles upstairs so he can have dinner with us!" She hollered.

"Vira, we already ate, silly billy!" Mare teased her and ruffled her hair.

"Fiiiiine..." Vira whined, but bounced back up when she saw Damien. "Hey, can I read too?"

Damien sighed, his dark brown hair hung in his eyes; one was green, and one was blue. "fine, but I hold the book."

Vira, on the other hand, had sandy blond hair with electric blue eyes.

And Blair, had Mare's brown hair, but she had emerald green eyes.

They were all beautiful.

I looked up and smiled at Mare lovingly, she smiled back.

I looked at my watch the cleared my throat.

"Hehm...if you two don't get to bed, the boogie man's going to come after you!"

Vira squealed and ran into her room, but Damien held firm.

"There's no such thing." He said.

He was too smart for his own good.

He sure as hell didn't get that from me.

I rubbed my chin, "Are you sure? Positive?" I took a step towarsd him.

He nodded slowly.

I smirked, "But what happens when...I'm the boogie man?" I said loudly and scooped a giggling Damien up in my arms and carried him to bed, tickling him the whole way there.

"Dad, come one! Stop No! Dad! Mom help me!" He squealed as I plopped him into bed.

"Nope. There's no hope for you know!" I teased and brought the covers up around his chin.

I leaned down and kissed him on the forhead, "Night, Damien. I love you," I whispered.

He reached up and hugged me quickly, "I love you too, dad."

I smiled and closed the door as I walked out.

I met Mare in the living room. She was sitting on the couch looking at a picture of us.

I sat beside her and she leaned into me.

I glanced at the picture, "It's scary." I said.

Mare looked at me, "What is?"

"How fast they're growing. Blair's almost two, Vira's nearing her sixth birthday, and Damien. Jeez, Damien's almost ten!" I ran a hand through my hair.

Mare chuckled and leaned in for a kiss, "Yeah it sure is, but that's the beauty of it. Seeing them grow up."

I agreed with her then kissed her again.

I smiled on her lips, and pulled out a small picture from my pocket.

It was a picture of the stars.

I whispered, "Happy twelfth anniversary."

She gasped and kissed me again, "Thank you. I love you."

I smiled, "I love you too." I kissed her again.

And through the bond we shared, we both thought,

Always have, always will.
