Hey guys! Nice long chapter today, just you!
"How much longer do you have until you leave?" I ask as I hold him against me.
"About an hour, but depends on what time Wally get here to pick me up." He replies as he presses a kiss to the top of my head.
"Last night of freedom from me. You still sure about this?" He asks me as I walk over to my bed and sit down.
"Yeah I'm sure. Just go out and enjoy the last night before the wedding. I'm just going to get enough sleep so that I can be completely perfect for you tomorrow." I reply and he smiles at me before kneeling in front of me.
"That's very tempting April." He chuckles and holds my hands.
"Just promise me one thing." I say as I rest my forehead against his.
"What?" He asks me and brushes his lips against mine.
"Don't get too drunk." I reply and kiss him before we hear a car horn and shouts come from outside.
"Come on Roy!" A man yells and the car horn honks again.
"I better get going before they run in and drag me out." He laughs as he kisses me one last time and then leaves the room. I walk to the window and see a limo waiting for Roy as he jogged down the steps. He was met by a red haired man with green eyes. Two men were sat on the roof, through the roof window with two beers in their hands. One of them only looked to be sixteen! Roy and his friends, what can I say? I sigh and go back to my bed. I pull the covers over me as I lie down and close my eyes. It felt like minutes before I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I try to open my eyes but I'm in full sleep mode by now.
"Alright! Let's get this party started!" Wally shouts as we all walk up to the club. We walk in and have to go u stairs to the club. The place was hot and crowded. Upbeat music was playing, people on the dance floor grinding against each other; people were up in the corner kissing the face off someone they probably just met.
"I'm buying the first round!" Connor offers and we walk to the bar.
"Alright mate, what can I get you?" The waiter asks Connor as he gets his wallet out.
"Can we have six shots and six of the strongest beer you have here." He replies and then the waiter went to get our drinks.
"Well, I plan on getting laid tonight." Dick says as he looks over to a group of girls, all of which were looking over at us.
"Bruce told you not to bring anymore girls home Dick." Tim says as he back hands Dick on the back of his head.
"Why not? He brings home all kinds of models and shit. It's only fair that I get my share of women." He replies as Connor gives us all a shot each.
"To probably one the best nights out!" Wally cheers and then we all neck our shots.
Three hours later and how drinks again later...
"No man. I'm not drunk, I just walk funny." I reply as Wally asks me something, what was it again?
"You know something." I say as I wrap an arm around Wally's neck.
"I don't think I could be any happier than I am. I got my best friend here and I'm getting married to the hottest woman alive tomorrow." I say, my words coming out slurred.
"She doesn't beat my girl though." He replies as everyone comes to sit down with the girls that they've met.
"I'm going for a dance." I say as I get up and struggle my way through people and get to the dance floor.
"April dear, wake up." Dad's voice sounds in my ears as he shakes my shoulder gently. I flutter my eyes open and see him sat on the side of my bed.
"Go take a shower and then come down stairs to get breakfast." He tells me, kisses my forehead and then leaves the room. I sit up and take a deep breath. Since when did I have my clothes off? I get out of bed and go to my bathroom. I turn the shower on after seeing that my stomach hasn't started to show. Lucky me I guess. After I finish showering and get into some grey bottoms and a black tank top. I dry my hair and put it back in a ponytail before heading down to meet Dad in the dining room. Martha sets my breakfast in front of me as I dig into it.
"Nervous yet?" Dad asks me as I finish my food and Martha gives me one more plate.
"Kind of." I reply and he chuckles as he finishes his food.
"Roy, get up man!" Wally tells me as he puts my suit at the end of my bed.
"Dude, my fucking head hurts." I groan as I sit up and hold my head.
"Here, take this." Dick says as he comes in with a glass of water and tablet. I take them off him and take the pill, downing the whole cup of water.
"Thanks." I say as I swallow the last of the water.
"How does it feel to be finally tying the knot?" Wally asks as he flashes back in the room with three plates in his hands. He gives me and Dick one before taking one for himself.
"Never thought I would in all honesty." I reply before I start eating.
"But seriously, are you happy that you are?" Dick asks me before putting some bacon in his mouth.
"I more than happy with it. I can't really put it in to words. I've finally found the reason I'm here, well it feels like it." I chuckle to myself at how lovey dovey I sound.
"Stay still April. It'll be all over soon." Dad tells me as I keep my eyes closed and try to imagine that I'm with Roy. In a few hours I'm going to be April Harper, sounds just about right to me. Jesus I'm so nervous.
"Are you worried?" He asks me as Martha continues to do my hair.
"Not really. More terrified than I have ever been in my life though." I reply and I hear him chuckle.
"Don't worry, just keep your chin up and go for your dream." He tells me and Martha finishes playing with my hair.
"I have been for the past eighteen years." I reply as I open my eyes and look up at him.
The church is already starting to fill. Oh Jesus, my palms are sweating. I walk into the church and get greeted by the team.
"Roy! Oh my God, I never thought that I would come to a wedding and yet here I am at yours." Megan squeals as she hugs me.
"Yeah, I never really thought this would happen." I say as she lets me go.
"Did you guys just come? Did the League get their invite?" I ask and then I turn around and see some of the main Leaguer's walk in.
"Sorry we're late, Shayera had to find a way to hide her wings." Clark tells me as he pat's me on the shoulder.
"No problem." I reply and talk to everyone for a few minutes before Ollie comes up to me.
"Finally, I thought my best man would never show up." I say as we walk up to the altar.
"Would never miss my son's wedding." He assures me as we stand there and everyone takes their seats. It's time.
"Ready?" Ollie asks me as I put my hands behind my back.
"Ready." I reply.
"Ready?" Dad asks me as we stand outside the church doors.
"Just don't let me fall Dad." I reply as I take in a shaky breath. He kisses my head and I squeeze his arm with my hand.
"Never will dear." He promises and then the doors open.
Everyone in the church rose from their seats and turned to face the church doors. The brown doors opened and there stood a girl with his Father. She was taking shaky breaths as she walked through the arch way and started towards the aisle. Little strands of her hair hung down the sides of her face, curled to keep them short. The rest of her hair was pinned to the back of her head and then let out to curl and twist to her lower back. Her dress was strapless. The part that covered her chest had ripples of the material that covered her. Her stomach plate was covered in the same material with a pattern of crystals in. Once the dress hit her waist line it puffed out and swayed when she walked forward. A long trail of the material rolled on the floor behind her. The only thing different about her was how she refused to wear heels and wore sneakers.
She reached the start of the aisle and gripped her Father's arm tighter as she looked up at what would become her future and forever. Her heart was beating a mile a second. She was finally completing her life. With each step she took, she knew that she was just that much closer to her life. She knew that nothing was going to stop her now. Nothing could hurt her. Nothing would destroy her family.
He stood and watched as she came down the aisle to him. His hands were trembling as he tried to keep his breathing steady. He was the happiest man alive at this moment. Nothing was going to stop him from marrying her. Nothing would stop him from having his complete family.
They reached the altar and Lex takes his daughter's hand and places it into Roy's and goes to take his seat on the front row. The pair stands and looks right into each other's eyes. The priest gestures for everyone to sit and then starts the speech that every wedding has. Then the vows come into to speech. Which they had made themselves.
"I Roy Harper, take you April Luthor, to be my lawful wedded wife. I promise to stay by your side through sickness and in health. I promise to love you forever, alive or decreased. I will never fall for another, never become unfaithful. I will protect you through anything." He says first.
"I April Luthor, take you Roy Harper, to be my lawful wedded husband. To have and to hold, through sickness and in health. I promise to never be unfaithful or fall for another. I promise to love and to hold you forever. I will love you forever, alive or decreased. I will protect you through anything." She says and then they put their rings on the others finger.
"Do you Roy Harper; take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?" The priest asks.
"I do." He replies.
"Do you April Luthor, take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do."
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest says and then the two lock lips together. Feeling as though no one else was watching them. Taken by the other, never wanting to let go. The audience cheers and claps as they finish the kiss and walk down the aisle together and go to the awaiting car outside and get driven back to the manor. Finally, as a married couple.
"I love you. I don't know how many times I can say it, but I will say a thousand times for you." Roy tells me as we go back to the manor for the party. We drive slowly so that everyone can get there before us.
"It's finally done now. We're married. You can say you love me as many times as you want." I reply as I lean my head against his arm.
"Well in that case, you better be prepared to hear it every day of our lives. I'm not going to let you leave my side." He tells me and wraps his arm around me. I look up at him and see he was already looking at me.
"You're beautiful." He says and then we lock lips again. I reach my hand up to his face and when we break away for a breath, we rest our foreheads together.
"You're perfect, Mrs Harper." He smiles at me and then the car stops.
