REVIEW AND I SEND LOVE OVER!

Chapter 10:

It took only a few days to get the wedding ready. Beetlejuice got Lydia the most beautiful (not so expensive on Beetlejuice's side) ring.

A ring with a small diamond cut out as a spider.

The way he got well…. Using his powers, which caused problems in the most expensive ghoul jewelry store, but Judge Mental covered it.

Also, the wedding dress for Lydia was no other than white with black stripes to be matching with Beetlejuice. The dress was a heart neck line with a not so much poof. The top was black while the rest was striped. Matched with red heels, Lydia will look so stunning in the dress. Though other issues seem to be more important…

"Beetlejuice, c'mon! Take a shower for me, please!" Lydia begged, tugging on Beetlejuice's arm.

"No way, Babes." Beetlejuice said, stubbornly. "I've already scrubbed my dirt off that I had for CENTURIES! Unless.." Beetlejuice paused, giving Lydia an unknown stare.

"Unless what? TELL ME NOW, BEEJ!" Lydia demanded.

"Well, unless if you want to take a shower with me, Lyds." Beetlejuice said, wagging his eyebrows.

Lydia blush a deep red and stormed out of the bathroom, grumbling "Take a shower, Beetlejuice."

Beetlejuice chuckled and decided to take a shower, after all. He didn't want to reek for his wedding day and especially his honeymoon.

Lydia went downstairs, sitting on the sofa, when Barbara and Adam came down with giddiness.

"Lydia, there you are!" Adam said, going towards Lydia, who was smiling lazily at them.

"Here I am!" Lydia said.

"We have perfect ideas for decorating the room for your child."

"Oh really?" Lydia said, excited. To slow down the amnesia for Beetlejuice and Lydia (also they decided they really want a kid), Lydia gotten pregnant. Everyone was surprised, but was delighted to have a new addition to the family.

They can't tell the gender because it's too early to tell.

Who are the godparent's?

Barbara and Adam.

Grandparent's?

Delia, Charles, Juno, and (Lydia considers him one) Allen.

"Well since we don't know the gender, we decided to paint a scene for the walls." Adam stated.

"A scene?" Lydia asked, curious.

"Like trees blowing in one direction and leaves fluttering around. You have to see the rough drafts! Adam?" Barbara explained, squealing in delight on her last word.

Adam held back a smile and handed Lydia the four painted rough drafts. Adam and Barbara both watched Lydia and measured her reaction.

One rough draft showed Beetlejuice having his right arm draped over Lydia's shoulders, both content and under the shade of a tree. The trees leaves were being 'blown' by the 'wind' and were sort of prancing into a meadow.

"These are amazing. So detailed and beautiful." Lydia commented. Adam and Barbara urged her on with their smiles growing every passing second.

Another rough draft showed the same meadow except with Lydia and Beetlejuice running, laughing, and holding hands, as if chasing someone.

The third one showed a starry night sky with the backs of Lydia and Beetlejucie cuddling facing towards them.

The last one showed Lydia and Beetlejuice, walking, but not hand in hand, but with a space missing in between.

"This one is not finished." Lydia pointed out, placing a confused look on her face.

"No it isn't because that's where we are going to paint in the portrait of your child." Barbara said, smiling widely.

"Soo?" Adam probed.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Lydia shrieked, hugging Adam and Barbara.

"What are you squealing about, Babes?" Beetlejuice said, coming down the stairs with a towel wrapped around his waist with wet blond hair.

"BEEJ! LOOK AT WHAT THE BABY'S ROOM IS GOING TO BE PAINTED LIKE." Lydia shrieked, going up to Beetlejuice and stopping to scream. "PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Lydia yelled.

"Fine, Fine." Beetlejuice replied, rolling his eyes. He poofed his clothes on and then Lydia showed him the rough drafts.

"Exactly what I expected from Adam and Barbara." Beetlejuice said, smirking. Adam gave a nod while Barbara smiled an ear to ear grin, satisfied with the compliments

Lydia gave the rough drafts back to Adam. "We love them!"

"We glad you do, Lyds." Adam replied, a small smile on his face.

"We got to get started. This is going to take awhile too." Barbara said, interlacing her fingers with Adam's and disappearing.

Lydia sat down back on the sofa, placing her hands on top of her stomach. Beetlejuice poofed over to sit down on the floor next to her, stroking Lydia's growing belly.

"Hey Beej Jr.- slash- Lydia Jr.." Beetlejuice crooned.

Lydia chuckled at the nicknames. "The baby is saying hi back."

"Can you believe I'm proud of being the father of this baby?" Beetlejuice said.

"You should be!" Lydia said, playfully hitting Beetlejuice.

"I'm gonna be a father… In centuries, I couldn't see myself becoming one, but now I can." Beetlejuice stated.

Lydia turned his head, giving him a peck on the lips. "We are going to be parents!"

"And married!" Beetlejuice added, stealing a quick kiss from Lydia.

"I feel.. weird.. Being pregnant and getting married though." Lydia said, truthfully.

"Well you'll be the most beautiful pregnant bride that anyone has ever seen." Beetlejuice said with a Chesire grin.

He loved how Lydia looked. Her creamy white skin glowed and her raven black hair shined more. She looked amazing. It was hard to keep the other guys at bay though.

Lydia was about to kiss Beetlejuice again, but the stench of cigarettes and a throat being cleared interrupted her.

"Juno?" Lydia and Beetlejuice said in unison.

"We have issues." Juno stated, getting down to business.

"What?" The two said in sync.

"Ari has escaped. We thought the football guys took him away, but clearly, he managed to beat them up and escape. We don't where he is ." Juno said while taking long drags from her almost burnt out cigarette.

Lydia felt panic spread like a virus throughout her body.

"I th-thought that I-i-" Lydia stuttered out.

Beetlejuice held Lydia's hand, trying to comfort her. She only found a little.

Beetlejuice stayed calm, asked, aiming it at Juno."Any possible leads?"

"Only a note in blood saying 'Your most beloved one will be the dead one.' So Lydia, who is you're most beloved one?" Juno questioned, raising an almost invisible eyebrow.

"I'm about to get married… H-how could this happen? I c-came b-back from a c-coma and," Lydia began to cry.

Beetlejuice brought her down to the floor with him so he could cradle her. "Lydia, it's going to be okay."

"We need the answer to the question, Beetlejuice." Juno said in a dead-panned tone.

"We can't right now! Come back later!" Beetlejuice hissed, annoyed at Juno.

Juno began to leave but not without saying "We both know the answer. Be careful."

Beetlejuice closed his eyes, stroking Lydia's raven hair. "We're going to find Ari." Said trying to convince both Lydia and himself.

Lydia's sobs receded to soft whimpers to soft snores. Beetlejuice then carried her to their bed and laid her down.

Beetlejuice decided to lie down next to her, wrapping an arm around her waist. Closing his eyes for needed sleep, Beetlejuice never thought about what Lydia was really thinking in her mind.

After hearing the loud snores of Beetlejuice, Lydia slipped out from his grasp and packed a backpack filled with clothes along with tons of cash as quietly as she could. She looked down at the engagement ring that was staring at her.

"Sorry Beej." She whispers. Beetlejuice slightly stirred, but didn't wake up.

She pulled it off and rested it on the nightstand where a note laid. Lydia let her fingers lightly touch the last memories she was leaving behind.

"I have to do this. I have to do this." Lydia repeated in her head.

She slipped on some shoes, already in regular clothes, and grabbed the backpack, slipping it on.

Tears began to fall as Lydia, quickly and quietly, went down the creaking stairs.

"Lydia?" Charles asked with a sleepy tone in his voice. Lydia almost… almost froze, but thoughts of Ari and what was going to happen made her keep going.

Beetlejuice woke up, trying to find Lydia in their bed. He began to frantically search everywhere for her until he heard the shutting of the front door.

"LYDIA?" Beetlejuice's voice echoed throughout the whole house as the sound of a bicycle riding away became clear.

Beetlejuice raced down and raced after her, catching up.

"Lydia, stop!"

"I can't." Lydia said, crying.

Beetlejuice got in front of the bicycle, stopping her.

"We can do this together."

Lydia knew this was going to happen and she would forever regret the words that came out of her mouth.

"I don't want to be married to you." Lydia hissed with as much venom as she could.

Lydia yanked the bicycle from Beetlejuice's grip and rode on.

Beetlejuice, after standing there for awhile, letting the words sink in, he finally walked back to the house.

Beetlejuice opened the front door where everyone stood in the living room.

"Is she-"

"Beej-"

"Wh-"

Beetlejuice didn't want to hear it. He went upstairs, already heartbroken, and spotted the note and the spider ring.

Beej,

It's safer for both of us.

Love you to the death,

Lydia Deetz.

Beetlejuice slumped to the ground with note in his left hand and the ring in his right.

His heart was completely torn to pieces by eight words. By one girl. By a note. By the ring which used to be on her finger. That claimed she was his wife as he was her husband.

Numbness is what he wanted to feel, but he felt sharp stings of pain everywhere. He felt an empty place inside of him. Tears fell down more than ever.

For everything he did for Lydia.

All those moments they had together, was it her acting?

Was she truly disgusted by Beetlejuice?

Beetlejuice didn't notice when Barbara came in and was trying to comfort him. Or when Adam was hugging him. Or even when Old Man Charles came in, trying to say 'We are going to find her.' It was Delia, who surprised him the most by actually being the shoulder to cry on.

If only Lydia really did stop to think about it, she would have known that what she was doing wasn't right. She was hurting not only herself, but the one she loved the most.

She kept pedaling on.

I just want to be numb.

That was the thought both soul mates thought of at the same time.

OKAY. I know I really twisted it up. I didn't want people to think. Oh this is another fanfic where Lydia and Beetlejuice get married. Sounds really cruel, I know, but HEY! I'm being creative here.

I am thinking about making a sequel…. Thinking about it. Anyways
