Chapter 11 The Royal Wedding
3 days till the wedding. Florists are coming in and out all the time, décor people are changing the whole first level of the palace. I can't imagine what this place will look like the day of the wedding, it already looks so magical.
I walk to Lissa's suite, the door is unlocked, so I let myself in. I hear muffled crying, its coming from the bathroom. I walk to the door, knock lightly.
"Lissa, it's me open the door." She opens the door, her face and eyes red, tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong?" My heart sinks, seeing her this way.
"At this time in my life, I just, really miss my mom, I miss my dad to, he won't see me down the aisle, but mostly I miss mom, she'd be of so much help right now." More tears down her face.
Oh how my heart sinks for her, I feel so bad, I don't know what to do.
"I know, Lis, its hard on me too." I say to her, here comes the tears, but this time, their mine.
"Rose, I don't know what to do, I don't think I can make it through this wedding without her." She says
"How about this, I'll call my mom, and you can have her as yours for these next few days, will that help?" I ask her
"I don't want to do that to you." She says
"No really, it's ok, I want to do this for you."
"That would be so nice of you, I don't know how I'd ever repay you."
"It's ok, really, it won't harm me one bit, I just want to make sure you're ok." I say to her, hugging her tight.
I pull out my cell. I dial mom's number.
"Hey, mom, can I ask you to do a major favor for me?" I say into the phone.
"Yes what is it Rose?" Mom asks me.
"Lissa, here is having a rough time, she's really missing her mom, can you come and stand in as her mom from now till the wedding? Her and I have always been like sisters, and I really hate to see her like this, mom."
"Of course, I can, Rose. I'll be there with my stuff in a half hour." She tells me
"Thanks mom, I'll see you in a bit." I say, and then I hang up the phone.
Thank god mom agreed to do this, I can't stand to see Lissa this way. We've always been like sisters, I've stood as the older one, doing whatever I can to make her safe and comfortable.
"Alright, mom is coming to stay with you, are you going to be ok now?" I ask
"Yes, I think I will be, thank you so much Rose." She says to me
"Mom will be here in about a half hour." I tell her
We go sit on the couch, well I sit, and she lies with her head in my lap. I stroke her hair and tell her everything will be fine. She starts to calm down, just as I hear a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." I tell her
I get up and go to the door. I hope this is mom.
I open the door, its Dimitri.
"Hi"
"Hi, Rose."
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"I came to check up on you 2, how are things going?" he asks
"Well, Lissa is really missing her mom, so I called mine in, she should be here anytime now. You wanna come in?"
"Sure, where's she at." He asks
"On the couch, I'm sure she'll be glad to see you. I'll go make some tea."
There's another knock on the door. I go and open it.
"Hi, mom." I hug her "Thanks for coming."
"It's no problem" she says.
"Lissa, mom's here." I call into the other room
Lissa comes running. I'm so glad she's better now. She hugs mom.
"How ya holdin' up?" mom asks Lissa
"Better now that you're here, but still having a rough time." She says
"May I ask, why is this so stressful? I understand that a wedding is stressful especially without a mom to be there for you, but you have Rose." Mom says
I look at Lissa, she nods.
"Mom, Lissa's pregnant." I just say it like it's something I say every day.
"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry Lissa, I understand exactly why you need me here. Is this why you're getting married?"
"No, Christian and I truly love each other, he said that he was going to ask me anyways, so I guess, maybe it's one of the reasons but not the whole reason." Lissa says
Mom walks Lissa over to the couch, I follow. Mom and Lissa plop down on the couch, I take the chair. Mom pulls Lissa into a big hug.
She says "Everything's going to be alright now"
Lissa is really starting to become cool with this. I think I'll leave mom and Lissa to talk. I stand.
"Ok, I'm going to leave now. Lissa you'll be ok her, right?"
"Yep, I'll be just fine."
I walk to the door, open it and walk out into the hallway. I head back to my suite. I walk in, Dimitri is cooking dinner.
"Hey, I'm home. What are you cooking?" I say
"Pasta with chicken." He says as he turns to kiss me.
"Yum. What movie are we watching tonight?"
"I don't know I thought I'd let you pick."
"I always pick, its you're turn." I say
"Ok, fine, let's eat." He says
We eat, and then go to watch tv. Dimitri falls asleep right there, with me leaning on his chest. I just continue to watch tv. I'm just starting to fall asleep when there's a knock at the door. I get up and go to the door, I'm surprised Dimitri didn't wake when I moved. I open the door, its mom.
"Hey, what up?"
"I came to check on you and tell you that Lissa's much better now. We talked and she asked questions. Were you just asleep there?"
"Yea, we fell asleep watching tv."
"Oh, sorry I woke you." She says
"No, actually it ok, we need to go to bed, that couch isn't the most comfortable place to sleep." I say
"Alright, I'm going to let you go to bed, I'll see you in the morning, honey."
I hug her. Close the door behind her, I go to the couch and wake Dimitri.
"Come on, let's go to bed." I say to him
"Hmh" he says rubbing his eyes.
"We fell asleep on the couch again."
We go to bed.
I smell food, I get up and walk out into the kitchen. There Dimitri is, once again cooking for me. Boy, do I love him.
He turns around "Morning hun."
"Morning" I kiss him
Eggs and bacon. I feel so bad, I haven't cooked a thing since we came back from our honeymoon. But then again, I've been helping Lissa, and he understands that. I think that deep down he likes to cook and take care of me.
"I'm going to cook dinner tonight, go it." I say to him
"Yes, ma'am." He says, like taking commands
"You're funny you know that." I say, he shrugs his shoulders
The day flies by so fast, Dimitri and I run errands for Lissa all day. Tomorrow is the wedding. We haven't seen Christian all day, he probably went with Adrian, actually I know Adrian took him.
Sunset rolls around, Dimitri and I head home. I jump right into cooking, I make hamburgers and french fries.
"Smells good" Dimitri says
"Thanks."
We eat, then Dimitri does the dishes. We go to bed early, knowing that tomorrow is going to be a long day, come on, it's the royal wedding, it's going to be longer than long. I hope that Lissa only invited a small large group of people, not like past royal wedding when people have been packed in.
Morning comes around. I hear people moving down stairs. Dimitri is still asleep. I smell food, I walk out into the kitchen like every morning, but this I see Abe standing at the stove.
"Hi dad, what are you doing here?" I ask
"I came to cook my daughter and son-in-law breakfast. And I can't leave the palace, there are people surrounding it."
"Well, thank you."
"Ah, you're welcome. Now go get that husband of yours up." He says
I walk into the bedroom. I shake Dimitri's shoulder and whisper in his ear "Dimitri, hun, get up, my dad is here and he's cooking for us, I don't know what's going on, maybe he's had a change of heart, he called you his son-in-law."
Dimitri sits up quickly "Alright I'm up now."
We have a lovely brunch with my dad and then start getting ready for the wedding. Things go smoothly, mom comes over and does my hair and makeup. I help Dimitri get ready and we head to Lissa's room. She is absolutely cool, not panicky at all.
The wedding go smoothly, it was a beautiful service. There were tons of flowers and lace the same color as Lissa's dress and Christian's tie. Lissa and Christian are so happy. The food is amazing, five star chef type food. The cake was huge, but then again there were like 80 bazillion people there.
It's now time for Lissa and Christian to leave, they are going to the Bahamas', I hope they enjoy their selves. We hug them goodbye, I feel Lissa has a little tummy, hmh, that's just a little weird, she's only about a month and a half. But I just put that aside and wish them a fun honeymoon, and tell them to not do anything I wouldn't.
Dimitri and I go home. He massages my feet, I really hate heels.
Well, what'd you think? review
