CHAPTER 11
"Mom..I can explain.." Emili started. Her mom crossed her arms and gave her a fairly ugly, expectant look.
"Well you know that I love Sirius very much mommy!" she started, patting Sirius's chest and signaling for him to put her down. "So while we were in America we had this crazy idea..." she stopped for dramatic effect. "We got married!" she exclaimed finally. Her mom and dad's jaws dropped and her dad turned slowly to Sirius, giving him a glare of death. Sirius smiled at him half-heartedly.
"Surprise?" he guessed. Emili's dad's frown slowly faded and he started to laugh. Her mom looked at him horrified as he crumbled slowly to the ground, his laughter booming through the house. The teenagers all looked at eachother oddly and slowly chuckled with him not sure what to do.
Emili's mother's eyes filled with tears and she shook her head slowly, covering her mouth and walking swiftly and gracefully away from them. Emili's father stopped laughing and finally stood up, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Congragulations!" he exclaimed, clapping Sirius on the shoulder and then starting away after his wife calling, "Eleanor!"
Emili sighed and put her face in her hands, sinking into the couch. Sirius sat down beside her, rubbing her back assuringly.
"They'll come around," he attempted to assure her. She looked up and smiled at all of her friends.
"I sure hope so."
The next morning was different. The group had been in America for a month and it was weird to be back in a normal house and Emili was nervous to see Keith. She turned over restlessly in bed, smiling to see Sirius peacefully sleeping there. His face looked so undisturbed. He was beautiful. She took this oppertunity to look him over. His gorgeous soft, black hair was falling slowly into his face. She brushed it aside lightly with her fingertips watching his perfect nose twitch cutely at the simple touch. His muscled and toned form was wrapped up in the blankets, one arm resting across her side. She smiled and traced the veins in his strong arms until she reached his shoulders. She ran her fingers down his back and then up again lightly, smiling to herself. His eyes slowly fluttered open and his electric blue eyes smiled down at her. His mouth formed into a small grin and he leaned down and put his forehead to hers contentedly.
"Good morning beautiful Mrs. Black," he whispered, staring into her eyes.
"Good morning Mr. Black," she smiled wrinkling her nose slightly in a cute way.
"I was just dreaming about you," he mumbled, looking at her as though he never wanted to let her go.
"Yeah? How was that?" she asked smiling.
"It didn't even come close to the real thing," he whispered, smiling and stroking her cheek softly with his warm hands. She shivered delightedly and kissed him softly on the lips. She leaned back tracing them with her fingers. Sirius's lips were the best she'd ever seen or kissed. They were the perfect shade of light pink, and shaped just round enough to be full. They were so soft, they felt silky. She ran her fingers across them once more until he grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertips softly. Emili smiled at him, quivering delightedly.
"I love you," he whispered sincerely against her hand.
"I love you too," she whispered back, and snuggled back into him for a few more minutes of peace. About five minutes passed when Emili let her self control win out, and sat up. Sirius groaned, and grabbed onto her arm trying to pull her back down to lay with him but she put her hand on top of his arm and shook her head.
"Wake up, we have a long day ahead of us," she sighed, throwing the covers off of her and standing up. She walked around to Sirius's side of the bed and yanked the covers off of him, and pulled him up to stand with her.
"What? Why can't I sleep?" he asked slightly annoyed, looking more tired than anything. Emili smiled at how cute he was and pulled him close to her, whispering in his ear.
"Do you wanna take a shower with me?" she asked somewhat seductively. Sirius immediatly bounced over to her bathroom and she laughed, following him in.
An hour later, Sirius and Emili emerged from her bathroom, laughing, and flirting. Sirius hugged her around the waist and kissed her behind the ear when Emili suddenly went stiff and looked at her mother sitting on the bed, looking annoyed.
"Sirius if you dont mind returning to your own room and getting dressed so that I can speak to my daughter for a moment?" Eleanor looked at Sirius in his towel and touseled wet hair disapprovingly.
"Yes ma'am," he said quickly kissing Emili on the mouth and bounding out of the room, holding onto his towel. Emili's mom waited until she heard the door across the hall close before she stood and walked over to Emili's door, closing it softly and leaning against it for a moment. Then she turned to her pajama clad wet haired daughter and just looked at her for a minute.
"Mom-" started Emili but Eleanor lifted a hand signaling for her to be quiet. She crossed the room cautiously and sat down on the bed. For the first time, Emili noticed her mother's expression. She looked somewhat scared sitting on the bed in her white dress pants and her white lace trimmed top and blue denim jacket. Her ankles were crossed in her high black stilletto boots and she kept fidgeting with her blonde wavy hair pulled into a short ponytail high on her head. She noticed the laugh lines and slight wrinkles on her aging mother's face and she suddenly felt guilty.
"Come sit down Emi, we need to talk." she said, patting the bed beside her. Emili sat down next to her mother worried about the talk that was surely on its way.
"I'm sorry mom," Emili choked out, tears filling her eyes. Her mother looked up shocked.
"Oh hunny! Don't cry!" she exclaimed hugging her daughter tightly.
"I understand if you're mad at me mom," Emili started, pulling back and wiping her eyes. "But I truly do love Sirius and I honestly think that this was a good thing that happened to us."
"Emili I am mad mind you," she scolded, tucking some of her daughter's hair behind her ears. "But more I am just disappointed. I love weddings and you know I do. And it just hurts me that I wasn't part of one of the most exciting, eventful days of your life. I always wanted to help plan your wedding and pick out your dress and talk to you... I didn't even know..." her mother started but got choked up. "I didn't even know you liked Sirius let alone loved him and wanted to spend the rest of your life with him!" A tear escaped her mother's eye and Emili started to tear up as well.
"I'm sorry mom, it was a spur of the moment thing and at first we thought about not even staying together but...I just...I love him so much mom that I don't know what I would even do without him! I think I would just die!" she said, starting to sob at the thought of it. So there Emili and her mother sat, crying and hugging until finally her mother pulled away
"Well as long as you know this is what you want," she said, looking intently into Emili's eyes to be sure she was telling the truth.
"Yes. One hundred percent this is what I want. And it's my last year of Hogwarts and I think that after I'm done with this year, we can do what you've always wanted and me and Sirius can renew our vows or get remarried or whatever and you can help me the plan the wedding that we both have always wanted!" she said, excited now, sqeezing her mom's hand. Eleanor squealed much like a little girl.
"That sounds good dear. My...How you've grown up. Seventeen, married...I'm so proud of you Emi." she said. With one last smile and a sqeez of the hand she stood up and left the room. Emili smiled to herself and slowly stood up, picking out clothes and walking into the bathroom to finish getting ready.
