Sorry it took so long to update! Softball and well life caught up to me. But here's chapter 14, hope y'all like it ;P

Chapter 14

Clarion awoke smiling to see her lover next to her. She rolled over and wrapped her arms around him. His body was cold like normal since he was a winter fairy, but while he was in her arms Clarion had never felt warmer. She stared at his face for a while. His eyes were shut but relaxed; she hoped he was having a good dream. She looked at him closer and saw a few scratches along his chin. She wondered what did that to him. His hair was its usual slivery grey and she loved it. Clarion soaked up as much of the sight as she could. She swore that he had never looked better. As she looked down his body she noticed her ring. She couldn't help but stare at the big diamond. She sighed as she played with it on her finger. Milori had awaken and lightly laughed.

"Do you like your ring, Ree?" He asked her jokingly.

"Yes!" Clarion laughed looking him in the eyes. "But I like you better." She nuzzled her head into his neck. Milori couldn't help but smile and wrap her into a tight embrace. "So, what do you have to do today?" Clarion asked the question she started every day with.

"Nothing really. Winter was just delivered so I'm free." Milori looked down at his bride-to-be. "Unless you have something planed?"

"It just so happens I do!" she told him excited, "I don't have any duties today so I thought we could start planning the wedding." Clarion continued, hoping he would agree. Last night before they drifted into blissful sleep, they had agreed to wed in two weeks.

"Of course we could darling!" He replied as Clarion clapped her hands together sitting up.

"Yay! What should we start with?" Milori just shrugged his shoulders at her question.

"I don't know a single thing about weddings honey." Clarion sympathetically smiled.

"Let's start with colors, what colors would you like?"

"I guess I would like ice blue. It's my favorite color. And it would look great with gold?" It came out more of a question than a statement, which made Clarion laugh.

"I would Milori!" She hugged him, "I didn't know you were so good with colors!" Milori laughed and kissed the top of her head as he sat up.

"Don't we need bridesmaids and…and-" He couldn't put his finger on the word.

"Groomsmen?" Clarion looked to see if she had guessed right. He nodded and they laughed. They spent a good part of the morning planning. They soon got bored and went for a walk. The couple ended up at the bored, just like old times. Milori sat on his side, while Clarion sat in spring. Clarion then asked a question that had been on her mind for quite some time.

"Milori, what happened exactly?" She asked as her eyes filled with worry and sorrow. He knew what she was referring to and began the story, sending a shiver down his spine.

"I was frosting a bush went something come from behind and crashed into my owl. I think it was a bear, but I'm not sure." As he spoke Clarion's eyes filled with horror and the sparkle died down. "Any way, it flung me out of the air and into a tree stump. It raced over to me and smacked me with its giant paw." He reached up to his chin were the scratches were. Clarion put her hand over his and gently laid her lips on the cuts. Milori smiled at her touch. "It picked me up and threw me into the stream. And I was gasping for breath when I washed up on shore. I couldn't tell where I was, and soon went unconscious." Clarion had climbed into his lap and now hugged him tightly; she could sense his fear as he retold what happened. "As soon as I woke up I found my owl and came home." They didn't say anything for a few moments. "Are you mad at me?" Milori finally asked.

"Why in all of Pixie Hollow would I be mad at you?" Clarion looked shocked.

"I…I made you worry and stuff and I just thought…" He trailed off as he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. Clarion's confusion melted away.

"No Milori, I'm not mad. Even though you made me worry, I wasn't mad. I knew with all my heart that you weren't doing it on purpose." Milori let out a sigh of relief. Clarion slowly turned to him and kissed him. He kissed back. She dared herself and ran her tongue over his lips. He pulled back and looked at her; her eyes contained an emotion that he's only seen a couple of times.

"Clarion, let's go back to my home. You really don't want to be kissing here in the open do you?" He raised an eyebrow. She stood up and so did Milori.

"You're right. Let me go get my coat." And with that she used her fast-flying talent to get her coat. Soon they were back in Milori's bedroom. He sat down looking at Clarion. She was looking at his bedroom; she had always liked to look at her surrounding no matter where she was. When she saw him sitting there she walked over and sat on his lap. She reached up and ran her fingers through his hair. They began to kiss again as the sun set outside. His tongue ran ghostly across her lips as she parted them and their tongues entered each other's mouths. He put his hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer. She moved over his lap so that she was straddling him. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and they kissed until late hours of the night.

The next week went by fast. They would wake up and plan some more for the wedding before getting ready and continuing their royal duties. Almost everything was ready by the end of the week. The just had to find a place to hold the wedding. Clarion wanted it to be held in the warm seasons, but Milori wanted it held in winter. It was one of the only things they ever argued over. They were still arguing over it three days before the wedding, when Tinkerbell over heard.

"Why don't you hold it at the border? It's where you met and fell in love." Clarion and Milori thanked the young tinker fairy, and raced to tell everyone. They had decided the wedding would take place at the border at sunset. It only seemed right for the couple.

The next day was busy getting the border ready for the wedding. Because the log was thin, the tinker talent fairies had made a temporary platform over the river for the guest to sit on. The chairs on the platform were lined with blue and golden ribbons. On the spring side, the ribbons had multiple different flowers and it all looked truly beautiful. The ribbons on winter's side were decorated with snowflakes. Clarion smiled as they put the finishing touches on everything. She couldn't believe how amazing everything looked. And by the expression on Milori face he couldn't either. Tinkerbell slowly walked up to the Queen and Lord.

"Yes Tinkerbell?" Clarion asked as she held Milori's hand.

"Well, I made this thing that will juice fresh berries to make punch and I wanted to know if you'd want to use it for the wedding." The queen and lord looked nervously at each other. Tinkerbell made cool inventions, but sometimes they didn't worked and caused a mess. Tinkerbell knew why they were nervous and continued. "I've tested it many times and the only way it would break would be if an animal came along and bumped into it." She said it hopefully and all in one breath. Clarion and Milori shared a look.

"I think that would be wonderful Tinkerbell." Clarion told the young fairy. Tinkerbell flew up in circles. She thanked the couple and flew off to get her punch maker.

"I hope it works." Milori chuckled and pulled Clarion in. They said good night and parted ways. It would be their last night apart before they were husband and wife. Clarion had a hard time falling asleep because of all thoughts going through her mind. Milori fell asleep almost instantly as he thought about the next day, his wedding day.

Clarion was woken up by her bridesmaids the next morning. Tinkerbell, Periwinkle, Slivermist, Rosetta, Fawn, Mary, and Vidia were all dressed and ready to go. Clarion and Milori thought that they would make perfect bridesmaids since they helped Clarion search for her husband-to-be. They wore short, strapless dresses that were a cool blue color. The dresses had a gold ribbon around the waist that tied into a big bow in the back. They each had a pair of blue matching slippers with golden stitching.

"I can't believe Vidia is in a dress!" The girls all giggled at the queen comment when she saw her friend.

"Only for you Ree!" Vidia sighed a bit. "I hate wearing dresses." She thought as Clarion walked in with her wedding gown on. The fairies gasped; it was the first time they had seen Clarion in it. It was pure white except for the bottom which faded into a sparkly gold.

"Will someone zip me up?" Clarion asked referring to the back of the dress. Rosetta helped her and they walked over to do her hair. "How does everything at the border look? They were still working when I left last night." Clarion asked eagerly.

"It looks flitterific!" Tink and Peri replied at the same time.

"They added this thing on the log that you and Milori will stand under." Mary started talking as she did Clarion's hair. "It's like this arch that goes over you two and into both seasons. On spring it has a lot of different flowers, and then it turns into snowflakes on the winter side."

"Wow, it sounds amazing." Clarion replied as lip gloss was put on her lips.

"Queen Clarion you look so pretty!" Rosetta cooed. It was true, Clarion looked breath-taking. Her hair was curled with half up half down. She had a light gold crown place on top of her head with a small veil on the back. Her lips were a light shade of pink. Clarion did a small turn and laughed. She felt beautiful.

Lord Milori awoke and got dressed. He was in a simple black and white tux. His groomsmen, Sled, Slush, and Terrance, were in black pants, white long sleeve button up shirts, with gold vests. They all looked quite dashing. They talked for a few moments before heading down to the border. Milori could not wait to see Clarion. He got lost in thought just thinking about the way she would look, the smile that would be on her face today. When they got to the border Dewy snapped him out of it. Dewy, or the Keeper, was the only one who knew enough about weddings so he would be performing the ceremony. Fairies and Sparrow men began to sit and soon everything was ready.

"Aye, are you ready Milori?" Dewy asked his friend. Milori shook his head as music began to play. Clarion was about to walk down the aisle.
