Visiting parents


As to be expected of any thief, even if she had no intention of stealing, the first thing to do was to make an observation of the treasures in the room. Most of the stuff in the high prosecutor's office was naturally of a high value, but she felt a bit disappointed at the fact that there were not that many personal items.

"Other then the coat, the steel samurai figurine, the chess set…" she began.

"Isn't that quite a lot?" Edgeworth said dryly as he picked up another file. "Is there no way for you to entertain yourself until Gumshoe come to pick you up?"

"I was thinking of personal stuff." Kay said. "Like photos of you or something."

"Why would you need to see photos of me when you are talking to me face to face?"

"I am fully certain that there was something in particular that I want to see." Kay began thoughtfully. "Something to do with you personally…photos? It probably is photos. Photos…oh I know! You did say that you are married and later on, your friend said that your wife is really pretty. Do you have a picture of her? Where is she by the way? How come I didn't get to see her at all?"

"How many questions do you want to ask?" Edgeworth said. "She is in France right now."

"France? Is she French?"

"Her father was. She is there to visit her father's relatives."

"How come you didn't go with her?"

Instead of answering her, Edgeworth actually took something out from his desk and handed it to her.

"Here, entertain yourself with that until Gumshoe comes."

Kay was observant enough to know that this was probably done for him to avoid answering her question, but she thought that she should seize the opportunity first, and ask him about it later.

The photo would naturally interest her as it concern the question that she just asked.

It was Edgeworth, but unlike usual, he was not dressed in his magenta outfit. Instead, he was in a rather different black suit. As for the woman beside him, she was in a wedding dress with a veil up to her waist.

Edgeworth himself actually paused his work slightly, as he was recollecting that day.


Gabrielle was a common sight in the detention centre due to her visiting her father quite often. However, she was attracting a large amount of attention today due to her attire.

Her wedding dress was not extravagant to the point of this not being able to pass of for a ball gown if it was not white. However, the veil up to her waist made the purpose of the dress clear enough.

"Please get my father for me." She said, carefully rearranging her veil so that she would not sit on it. "I have a lot of things to do today, so I really need to see him now."

Unlike the guards though, her father was clearly not surprised by this. Upon seeing the sight of his daughter in her wedding attire, he smiled both proudly and sadly.

"You look very beautiful, Gabrielle, I only wish that I can b there beside you, to walk you up the aisle."

However, he would never be able to do this, as the man who played a large role in putting him here was the one that his daughter was going to marry.

"You are happy, Gabrielle?"

"Daddy…I love him." She said without any hesitation. "And I know that our marriage will be a happy one."

Unlike his own wedding, which had broken down in the worst possible way.

"I am glad that I am able to see this sight." He said as he stood up and leant against the glass, and his daughter immediately followed suit. For a brief moment, it was almost as if he was like any father on the day of his daughter's wedding.

"At least I get to see this sight." He said and she would only understand the significance of his words later on.

As she walked out of the building, she was to see the sight of the very familiar sports car. However, the man inside was not in his normal suit, but the black suit that he had decided to wear for the wedding.

"I thought that you might be coming here. In that dress too." Edgeworth commented. "However, I thought that I better not go in."

Given the role that he played, as well as the way that he did, he was sure that her father would probably not want to see her, even though he did accept the marriage.

"He is not unhappy." Gabrielle said. "But Miles, why are you in that suit?"

"…there is somewhere I would like you to go with me first." He said. "I need to tell my parents too."

Luckily, the day was a good one. Otherwise, she would be a bit worried about ruining her shoes and dress. As it was, she was still a bit worried as she ended up walking with the end of her skirt gathered in one hand, while her other hand rested on her soon to be husband. Due to this, it was Edgeworth that was holding the flowers. This did not matter that much since the flowers were not the bride's bouquet but for the one that rest here.

Upon reaching his father's grave, Edgeworth placed the flowers there, before he took a deep breath.

"Father…mother…I am going to be married today." He began. "Gabrielle will be my wife and I am confident that she would be able to make me happy. She will also prevent me from doing anything stupid."

That was really all that he needed to say.


Author's Note: After I watched the film, I suddenly had the idea of writing this story. Just a slightly nice oneshot about when they got married, in flashback. And I thought that Kay could be a good trigger for this flashback.
