THE BIG DAY
BPOV:
Todays the day. Today I marry the love of my life. Today I marry the beautiful, incredible, smart, caring Lauren Lewis. After months of planning and thinking about the wedding Lauren and I finally settled on a beach wedding and when we were deciding on the venue Jen and Liv surprised us with flying is all to Hawaii to have the wedding there, at first we couldn't accept but they insisted that it was their wedding present to us both. So here I am stood in a stunning top floor ocean view suit staring at myself in the mirror.
"You look gorgeous BoBo." Kenzi says from behind me.
I run my hands down my wedding dress loving the feel of the soft fabric. Growing up I always one of those little girls that would dream of her wedding day. I'd sit for hours with my Barbie and Ken dolls creating the most perfect little wedding, but then my fae powers came and I never thought I'd be in a relationship let alone be married…then Lauren came along and she make me believe I could have all those things again. Now here I am getting married after all those years of thinking I'd never have anything.
"How are you feeling? Excited, nervous, you need the toilet?"
I shove Kenzi back with a laugh and make my way over to Sarah and Ivy. "It's weird I'm not nervous at all. I just can't wait to get started and finally see Lauren."
"I was the exact same way with Matt, that's how you know it's right." Sarah says fixing Ivy's hair. She looks so cute in her little dress, she's been twirling and giggling for ages.
"Yep I was the same with Hale." Kenzi says nodding along.
"I know what you mean, throughout the whole process of planning the wedding the nerves hit me. She's the one, the only one."
"Cheers to that." Kenzi says passing me a glass of champagne and all of us clinking our glasses.
"Aunty Bo." Ivy calls hopping over to me.
"Yes cutie?" I ask pulling her onto the couch next to me.
"How did you know you loved Aunty LoLo?" She asks looking up at me with those big blue eyes.
I cuddle up close to her and think back to my times with Lauren. "You know I think I actually always knew but I do remember the first time I told Aunty Lo I loved her. You want to hear?" I ask herring a big nod.
FLASHBACK
"And the pizza has arrived." Lauren announces as she bounces back into the bedroom holding a large pizza box wearing only an oversized shirt.
My god she looks good. "Mmmm, I'm not sure what I want to eat more." I purr pulling the shirt from her shoulders.
"Down girl. I need food to survive remember." She laughs pushing me down onto the bed.
"Fine but I'm having you for desert." She just grins and settles in front of me with the pizza between us.
"So I was thinking that tomorrow after work I could take you out for dinner or something, it's been a while since we've been out together." Lauren suggests with cheese dripping from her chin.
"Mhmm that sounds amazing babe." I say with a laugh as I peel the cheese off her chin. "But if we go out to eat can we go somewhere with green stuff, I swear if I eat anymore pizza I'll explode, all this cannot be good for me." I groan but happily go for another slice.
"Well it's not great for you but studies have shown that deep dish pizza has a high quantity of antioxidants due to the longer oven time and crust size. Chemists fiddled with whole-wheat pizza crusts and found that longer baking times increased antioxidants to 60%. Even cooler oven temperatures upped them by as much as 82%. And don't even get me started on how pizza can help you absorb Lycopene better by…." I sit here happily as Lauren rambles on about all her science pizza facts with tomato sauce smeared around her mouth and I can't control the warm feeling that's spreading through my whole body. She looks so beautiful right now with messy hair and pizza all over her face.
"I love you." I blurt out before slapping my hand over my mouth.
Lauren stops mid ramble and stares back at me with wide eyes. "You what?"
Oh fuck…I've fucked it all up.
"I…I uhh." I take a deep breath and decide to go for it. "I love you Lauren Lewis."
She stares back at me with a shocked face for a few seconds, although it feels like a life time for me. But soon a bright smile comes over her pizza covered face and she lunges across the pizza box to connect our lips. "I love you too." Lo whispers against my lips as we pull back slightly.
"You sure I can't have a nibble on you first." I ask nipping her lip.
"Well I do like cold pizza." She grins moving the box onto the bedside table and resting her body onto mine.
God I love this girl.
FLASHBACK END
"And that was that." I grin staring off into space while thinking about that incredible night.
"Uhhh, let's keep the stories PG next time Bo." Sarah says with a laugh while shaking me from my day dreaming. I look at her confused before I realize it was little Ivy that asked me the question.
"Sorry kid." I mumble kissing her on the head.
"Mummy brings me pizza too and I love her." She grins up at me.
"I knew you'd understand." I smile back. "I wonder how Laurens's getting on right now."
"I bet she can't wait, that girls been counting down the seconds until this day and she's in good hands. Well Jens good hands at least…I'm not too sure about Liv." Sarah laughs.
"Oh god. I don't even want to imagine what she's up to."

LPOV:
"JUST TAKE IT."
"NO"
"TAKE IT."
"I DON'T WANT IT."
"TAKE IT LAUREN."
"I SAID NO OLIVIA."
"LIV SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT IT."
"STAY OUT OF THIS JENNIFER."
"EXCUSE ME?"
"Oh sorry baby…I'm just trying to help her. SO TAKE IT." Liv shouts thrusting the flask full of alcohol.
"No way it smells like death and I don't even need it, I feel fine." I say turning my nose up at the strong smell.
"It's Bruichladdich X4 Quadrupled Whiskey, a friend got it for me on my birthday…92% alcohol." She grins. "And you might not think you need it now but soon you will, those nerves will kick in mate."
"Then I'll embrace them, I don't care if I get nervous because I know I'm doing the right thing, I'm marrying the love of my life Liv and I feel amazing." I tell her making Liv roll her eyes.
"When did you get so sappy. How much you wanna bet you cry at the vows." She laughs.
"Shut up you dick." I grin pushing her away. "Bo and I have been through a lot together and always came out the other side." I tell her feeling myself falling back into memories.
FLASHBACK.
"You know I'm screwed don't you Trick. This new Ash Lachlan seems like a right dick, I'll be chained to my lab for the rest of time." I groan sipping my whisky, I've lost count of how many I've had now. This morning they had the stag hunt to choose the new Ash and unfortunately the biggest asshole won.
"You don't know that Lauren, you're a very valuable asset to the light, I'm sure he'll see that." He smiles sadly topping up my drink.
"Sure." I scoff downing the drink he just poured and signalling it for another one.
"You sure?" He asks.
"Oh yeah, might as well enjoy this while I can." I grin feeling my body begin to sway on the bar stool.
"Easy Doc don't want you to have a fall, you humans are fragile." I hear a deep voice chuckle from behind me.
"Hello Dyson, join me won't you." I tell him wiggling my glass in his face.
"No I'm not staying just wanted to drop something off for Trick. I was at Bo's this afternoon actually." He says leaning against the bar next to me.
"Really? Good story." I mumble into my glass with a small giggle as I make myself laugh with my own comment.
"Yeah she was in this little black number with champagne, begging to give us another go. Obviously I had to say no right now but I'm on a few trails about how to get my love back and then everything will be how it's supposed to be…Bo and I together and you back in your little cage." He says quietly
I take a deep calming breath and put my drink down before turning to him. "Good for you Dyson, I'm glad you want to find happiness and are going out to get it." I grin patting his back and getting up from my chair.
"Are you okay Lauren?" Trick asks as I stumble a bit.
I wave him off and continue to make my way out of the bar but before I can make my escape Bo walks in with Kenzi. "Great." I mutter.
"Careful boozy." Kenzi laughs and continues into the bar.
"Hey you." Bo grins.
"I was just leaving, your boyfriends in there." I point towards the bar and brush past her but she grabs my arm.
"I don't even get a hello now?" She frowns.
"Hi…Bye." I try to leave but I'm grabbed again. "God what do you want from me Bo?" I groan.
"Where is all this coming from Lauren? I thought we'd moved past everything and were friends." Bo asks with sad eyes.
"Friends." I scoff leaning against the wall. "I'm done Bo."
"Done? Done with what?"
"With everything. I try so hard to do the best I can and do the best by people I care about but at the end of the day I still get kicked around. So I'm done Bo, with all of it…and you."
"I..I don't understand. Did Dyson do something?"
"Doesn't Dyson always do something. He treats you like shit when you first arrive, he's been treating me bad since I started here, all the stuff with your mother, keeping things from you and kicking you to the side whenever he felt like it but somehow I'm the bad guy because I risk my life to help you with your control, help out with cases, try and keep you safe…I didn't sleep with you because I was told to, I actually just planned on getting you drunk while we watched the real housewives but then you started talking and I couldn't help myself." I rant at her and feel slightly bad when she flinches back from me but I need to continue. "It's such bullshit Bo I'm not the bad one here, even after everything I've done for you, you sill pick that smug asshole who, who couldn't wait to tell me about how great you looked in lingered begging to have him back." I finish and Bo is just stood there staring at me in shock as I fall back against the wall again. I'm just so drained.
"Lauren I had no idea you felt this way. I'm so sorry." She whispers moving towards me but I move away from her.
"Of course you don't Bo because it's always about you or Dyson. I really care about you Bo but you're selfish and I can't do it anymore, I've already got enough on my plate with the new Ash who seems to really hate humans."
"Lauren." She whimpers moving towards me but I take a step back.
I hold my tears back as I begin to walk away from Bo for good. "I'm done Bo. I really hope he makes you happy." I make my way out of the Dhal while ignoring Bo calling out for me. This is the best thing.
FLASHBACK END
"After that night Bo came to see me and we had such a great talk, she told Dyson to get lost and helped me a lot with the new Ash and we started a relationship before Dyson got his love back. Obviously we had more hard times after that but it got us here." I tell Jen and Liv.
"Funny how life works out. You pretty much had everything and everyone against you but here you both are." Jen smiles.
"Here we are." I grin back.
A smirk comes across Livs face and I'm sure she's got a sarcastic comment waiting to come out but a knock on the door cuts her off. "Come in." I call out and smile as Matt pops his big head in.
"It's time." He grins.
"WOOOOO. Lets get this show on the road." Liv shouts jumping from the couch.
"You ready Lo?" Jen asks coming in front of me and brushing my hair back slightly.
"Oh yeah."
We all share a smile and make our way down the corridor of the lavish hotel that Jen and Liv organized for us all. As we walk into the lobby I get a lot of smiles from people as I make my way out and down to the beach where the ceremony has been set up. I make it down to the beach and I feel the breath escape my lungs…it's so beautiful. We both wanted to wait until sunset so the sky has that stunning pink, purple, orange glow about it. On the sand there is a lovely flowing while canopy with family lights running along the top, inside the canopy there are pillars in each corner with candles on top. We have white chairs set out in front of the canopy with lantern candles lining the aisle, with red and white rose petals spread down the sandy aisle.
"It's perfect." I smile feeling the tears gather in my eyes, it's really starting to feel real now.
"Well Sarah text me and said Bo will be down in a couple minutes so we'll take our seats." Jen says giving me a hug along with Matt before both heading to the seating area.
I wait at one side of the chairs with Liv for Bo to come to a stop at the other side. Bo and I both decided that we didn't want to walk down the aisle until we were together so we're both waiting either side at the top of the aisle, then we'll join at the canopy and walk down the aisle together once we're married.
"You feeling nervous yet Lo? I can grab that flask for you" Liv winks.
"Nope. I've wanted this with Bo since we started dating, she's the one."
"Well it looks like you haven't got to wait any longer." She smiles nodding her head down at the beach.
I look up to see Bo walking down with Sarah, Ivy, Kenzi, Hale and Trick by her side. And my god does she look incredible in her loose fitting white dress and brown locks flowing in the wind. We both lock eyes and everything else disappears, just the both of us here. The rest of the group separates from Bo and trick to take their seats for the ceremony. Even though we're not walking up the aisle we both decided to have two special people in our lives walk us to the front. I chose Liv with how much she's been there for me through the years and Bo chose Trick, I know she was in-between him and Kenzi but she soon settled on Trick with Kenzi's blessing.
"Shall we." Liv grins holding out her arm for me to take.
"We shall." We both start our walk and head towards the front opening of the canopy.
I come to a stop in front of Bo but before we get started Liv pulls me into a tight hug. "I'm so happy for you Lo." She says into my ear before kissing my cheek. "You've come a long way Lewis and I'm so bloody proud of you, so enjoy this moment…you'll remember it for the rest of your life…as the best day of your life." She says bringing me into one more hug and heading towards her seat with Liv.
"Hey there beautiful." I whisper to Bo as she finishes talking with Trick and turns to me.
"Hi." She smiles with tears already forming in her eyes.
"You look incredible Bo."
"So do you." She says reaching up and brushing my cheek.
"How about we get you two ladies married then?" The minister asks us both, getting eager nods from us.
The hotel minister starts speaking but I find myself missing half of it as I stare at Bo, whenever she's near me the rest of the world completely disappears and my only focus is her but now with her stood in front of me looking beautiful and about to become my wife its magnified.
"Lauren?" Bo calls snapping me out of my day dream stare.
"Yeah?" I ask making her laugh.
"Your vows?"
"Oh crap sorry."
I take a deep breath and begin to pour my heart out to Bo. "From the first moment I set eyes on you all those years ago I knew I'd love you forever, you were the most beautiful person I'd ever seen and as we became closer I feel deeper and deeper in love with you. You've cared for me, protected me and loved me like no other and I promise to do the same for you forever. Bo I promise to be your lover, companion and friend, your partner in parenthood, your ally in conflict, your greatest fan and your toughest adversary. your comrade in adventure, your consolation in disappointment, your accomplice in mischief. This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. I love you." I tell her holding back the tears.
"I love you so much." She sniffs.
"Well I'm not really sure how to follow that but I'll try. Lauren you've been there for me since day one in every way possible you help me with what I am, taught me patience, kindness, love and I'm so happy to be spending the rest of my life with you. I take you to be my partner for life, I promise above all else to live in truth with you, and to communicate fully and fearlessly, I give you my hand and my heart as a sanctuary of warmth and peace and pledge my love, devotion, faith and honour as I join my life to yours."
"My god I love you."
"Who has the rings?" The minister asks and Liv and Trick step up and hand us both our rings. "Lauren please repeat after me…This ring is my sacred gift to you, A symbol of my Love, A sign that from this day forward and always, My Love will surround you, with this ring I thee wed."
I repeat the minister's words and slip the ring onto Bo's finger and watch as Bo does the same with me.
"It is my absolute pleasure to now pronounce you wives. Bo and Lauren, you may kiss your bride." The minister finishes and I grab Bo by the back of the head and bring her in for a harsh kiss. We separate after a couple minutes but I keep my hands on her face.
"I love you Lauren." Bo whispers leaning into me.
"I love you too Mrs Lewis."
