Author's Notes: Disclaimer, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. Finally the wedding chapter, hope you enjoy :)

Anzu felt like a bundle of nerves and it didn't help that she was being waited on hand and foot. Maids were in her room pacing about, making sure her dress was right, that she wore the right amount of makeup and Mana was there too fussing around her hair. "there" Mana said placing a cream coloured veil over her head that matched her dress, "its not an Egyptian tradition but I think its rather nice" Mana commented.

"Who's going to walk you down the aisle?" Mai asked smoothing out the future Queens dress.

Anzu blinked, "well I figured I could walk on my own, I really don't have any family or close male friends, besides it will show I'm strong to walk alone"

"Spoken like a true Queen" Mana giggled, "now the carriage is waiting, we should go or else we'll be late"

At the temple of Horus:

Atem stood staring into space. Seto waved a hand in front of his face, "Pharaoh, you really need to stop worrying, Anzu will be here soon"

Atem held his head as they stood at the front of the temple waiting for his bride's arrival. Seto, being the High Priest would perform the ceremony after they preyed to the gods and said their vows. Guests had already started to arrive and sat on the wooden benches. Atem wore his usual outfit, his cream coloured tunic, kilt and blue cape, resting in his tri coloured hair was the golden crown. His arms were adorned with more jewellery though to show his wealth.

It was a little while later that all the guests had arrived and all that remained was for the bride to join them. Seto stood next to a pool of water with Atem next to him. Atem faced the wall were there was a painting of the goddess Isis who would watch over their marriage and offer them protection. Seto looked towards the entrance, "everyone stand" he announced. Atem straightened himself, 'this is it' he thought.

Time somehow stopped as Anzu stepped into the room. She looked beautiful with all the grace of an elegant swan, they didn't need no painting of a goddess because they had one in the flesh. Her dress framed her agile feminine figure and it was obviously made with Egyptian and Libyan materials in mind. Everything about her looked so stunning, even her hair which under her veil was tied into a bun with white ribbon.

She joined him as he pulled back her veil. "Is there something on my face?" she whispered, her cheeks flushed.

Atem couldn't help but admire her natural features that were enhanced by a little makeup, "No, you look beautiful, fit for a King"

She chuckled a little but so only they could hear, "its a good job I'm marrying a King then"

"Lets begin" Seto said as he took a goblet from a small table and scooped up some water with it. "First you shall drink this water which is said to be blessed by The Egyptian God Tefnut, the Goddess of fertility to ensure your bloodline, long my your reign"

Atem nodded and drank from the goblet first, the water was so refreshing. Anzu drank from the same goblet next and then passed it back to Seto. Next they prayed to some of the other gods and the Royal Court all had to stand and give them their blessing for the marriage. "Now its time for the vows"

Anzu turned to Atem, his magenta eyes as gentle and bright as a sunset, she knew at that point she didn't need to be nervous no more, they would spend the rest of their lives together and for Atem having his friends and family around to witness this was important. Mana, who was her bridesmaid passed her a peace of parchment were she had written down her vows but there wasn't even words to describe how much she loved him and needed him. She smiled opening her mouth to read as the sun cascaded through a nearby window as if the sun God Ra were watching over them.

Later on after the wedding:

Hand in hand Atem and Anzu danced in front of the nobles and their friends finally as husband and wife. Atem had never seen her so happy, her smile was to feel the sun but there was something else about her, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"May I interrupt you and dance with the Queen" Seto asked. Atem nodded, it was tradition for the High Priest to dance with the Queen at some point anyway. Anzu hadn't really got along with Seto but she was so happy she couldn't off cared about his whit remarks.

Atem stood watching her from afar with Shimon and Shada, two of his advisors and members of the royal court. "I know you think that Anzu is worthy of being a Queen but you will see that she is willing to learn about state affairs and she has a good heart"

Shimon chuckled, "do you think that lowly of us Pharaoh that we would judge, Anzu is a royal and its in her blood to rule and we think she will make an excellent Queen with training like you said".

Atem felt relived that they thought great things of Anzu, he was worried that they might talk behind his back. Atem had been talking to guests and enjoying the festivities so much that he lost track of his wife. He found her a little while later enjoying a peaceful moment to herself on the balcony.

Her embraced her from behind making her jump slightly, "Sorry" he chuckled into her ear, "but no one would dare touch you now you belong to the pharaoh"

She giggled and lent into him, "you certainly think highly of yourself"

"shouldn't I?" he teased, "I am the King of the most powerful nation after all and I have a beautiful wife"

He kissed the side of her head then down the side of her neck, "Atem, not here" she squirmed, anyone could walk out and see them. "alright then" he chuckled pulling her arm gently. "oh, and were are we going?" knowing full well were he was taking her, this was their wedding night after all.

Atem announced to his guests that they were retiring for the night, most of them snickered knowing full well what 'retire' meant. They ran like giggling teenagers down the halls of the palace until they reached his chambers. Anzu was about to open the door but he scooped her up placing his arms under her knees.

"Atem put me down" she giggled playfully. "I will but I have to carry you across the threshold now don't I?"

Anzu laughed as he placed her on his bed. He held his back out of breath, "your as light as a feather I swear"

Anzu looked around. Her belongings had been brought to his-now there chambers, she would have to do some redecorating though to make it a little less King like! "Are you ok?" Atem asked placing his hands either side of her waist as she sat at the edge of the bed, "you seem rather nervous"

"do I?" she replied. Atem grinned and kissed her on the lips nibbling on her lower lip. Anzu moaned as he trailed heated kisses down her neck and across her chest. In one sweep motion Atem removed his cape and tunic revealing his muscular chest. He went to work on the back of her dress but she lightly pushed his chest away from her, "what's wrong?" he asked confused, she couldn't be nervous, they had made love before.

"Atem, I needed to tell you something, remember?, I promised to tell you tonight" she said somewhat worried.

"right, I had forgotten" he admitted pulling away, "what is it, you seem nervous about the while thing"

She stood up and walked a few feet away from him as he remained sitting on the bed,. After a few moments she turned and looked at him, her eyes as bright as sapphires as she held her stomach, "Atem I'm with child"

Author's Notes: Sorry to leave it there haha I'm so terrible for ending it on that cliff hanger. I didn't want to make the whole chapter about the wedding and I don't really know how Egyptian weddings worked so that's why I didn't focus on the ceremony too much. Next chapter will be up by Saturday, this story is coming to an end soon but don't worry I already have another story in mind!
