Chapter 21
Hilary dressed Angel in an angelic white dress. She watched as Angel twirled cheerfully in the dress and smiled.
"Hilary?" Angel asked.
"Yeah."
"Can i call you mommy and Kai daddy?"
"Are you sure about it?"
"I may be 6 but i know what I'm doing!"
"If you really want to then Yes!"
"So does that mean i can be a Hiwatari?" Angel asked cheerfully.
"If you really want to," Hilary replied with a smile.
Angel screamed with delight and hugged Hilary just as Kai walked in the room.
"What's going on?"
"Hilary said i can start calling you mommy and daddy and i'm going to be a Hiwatari," Angel announced.
"That's great!" Kai said.
"I know. I'm gonna go tell Tala before he leaves," Angel said and ran out he room. Hilary smiled and stood up.
"She looks angelic," Kai said.
"Goes with the name," Hilary responded.
"What you got left to do?" Kai asked.
"Get dressed. Then we can go okay?"
"Right then sit down or you'll end up falling asleep," Kai said.
"I hope her family don't do anything embarrassing otherwise it's mine and Tala's rep that goes," Hilary said going through her wardrobe for the suitable dress.
"I doubt they will," Kai said.
"You don't know them like i do," Hilary responded coldly.
"Really?"
"They insulted her cousin for marrying someone who didn't think that teenagers should be put away until they were 18. They have already had Star crying because she's pregnant at her age," Hilary explained.
"And i thought mine was bad."
Hilary pulled out the dress she'd worn on the day of her birthday for the photo-shoot. Kai came up behind her, placing his hands either side of her waist and kissed her cheek.
"I think you should wear it," Kai said.
"You think?"
"You look beautiful in everything you wear so don't even think of saying you'd look dreadful."
"I'll keep my training outfit on hand in the Limo. Just in case," Hilary said.
"I'll meet you downstairs!"

Kai, Hilary, Angel and Angel's grandmother sat on the front row watching as Tala and Star exchanged vows. Star had blossomed quickly with her pregnancy but she still looked awazing in her dress. Hilary smiled watching the scene.
"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride."
Everyone except Kai, Hilary and Angel cried at the moment.

The reception party was being held at the mansion. Everyone was having a good time. Tala was dancing with Angel and Kai was dancing with Star. Hilary was watching from a distant, looking at the once filled glasses of wine on the table she sat at. In total, there were 30, all down to Hilary drinking. A waiter brought her another glass. She sipped it then stared into it.
'I'll never make it up the aisle at this rate. Why do i even bother to keep hold of a dream that will never happen?'
Because you love Kai like i love Dranzer.
'But lately it feels like we're falling apart coz of the abbey, work, business meeting left, right and centre. I can't keep acting like it doesn't bother me.'
Well tell Kai then. Don't give up so easy just spend more time with him and find out whether you really want to let go.
'I don't though. I want to get married but everything seems to get in the way.'
Well whatever happens don't let it tear you from Kai. But do remember, arguments are apart of relationships and don't distant yourself as not to hurt everyone. They believe in you.
Hilary looked up from her glass and looked at Kai. She felt sadness crawling at her. She called a waiter over and ordered 9 more glasses of wine. She downed the one she'd already had plus the other 9 just ordered. Just as she downed the last one, Star walked over and sat with her.
"Why don't you go dance with Tala or Kai?" Star asked.
"I'm sorry i must be bringing you down," Hilary replied.
"No i'm the happiest i've ever been but obviously there's something upsetting you."
"A little but you should enjoy your night."
Suddenly Hilary's phone received a text. They both knew who it would be.
"Go on, go. I'll come by before my flight," Star said.
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't be just make sure you tell me later what's upsetting you!" Star said hugging her once they stood up. Hilary rushed outside to her limo. Kai had seen her leave and went to talk to Star.
"Where's Hilary gone?" Kai asked.
"Abbey and before you say anything i told her to. She's downed 40 glasses of wine and hasn't even become the slightest bit tipsy. Are you 2 okay?"
"As far as I know, yeah. She's been down lately but we're either too busy, don't see each other or too tired to talk."
"Maybe that's what's got to her. I'll let ya know if it's anything serious when i go see her before my flight," Star stated.

Hilary walked into the abbey in her training outfit and straight to the facility underneath.
"What's the problem?" she asked.
"We think we've engineered the perfect beyblades for Kai and Tala that are also indestructible. But there are some slight problems with the DNA from Angel," a man replied.
"What problems?"
"We're not sure but it shouldn't affect her anyway possible ever."
"Look into it anyway."
"We also need you o go through the paperwork."
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Hilary was sitting in her office going through the paperwork when Star came in with 2 hot chocolates.
"Hey. Party finished early?" Hilary asked.
"Yeah. Anyway it was a good thing. If i heard Aunt Tina go 'disgraceful being pregnant at her age and it'll be ginger too. Disgraceful' One more time i'd of hit her."
"Now that would be something i'd pay to see."
"So are you gonna tell me what's upsetting you so much you drank 40 glasses of wine."
Hilary locked the door and they went into the bedroom.
"I think me and Kai are falling apart!" Hilary said.
"Why? How?"
"We never get a chance to be alone, do something together. All we do is work and train and by the time we finally get time to talk we're too tired, stressed and i'm fed up. Kai is always working. I take a dy off because he says he will but he ends up going into meetings and i give up," Hilary cried as they put their mugs down. Star pulled Hilary into a hug, trying to soothe her.
"Don't give up!"
"I might aswell give up. I can't keep acting like this doesn't bother me anymore coz whenever he does take a day off i have things planned that are vital to BEGA," Hilary cried tears flowing harder and faster, "I still have nightmares of everything. I can't take much more Star."
"Book a week or 2 off work and relax. I'll get Tala to keep Angel busy and we'll have a girly week ok?"
"Ok!" Hilary replied.
She dried he tears and hugged her friend. They sat and chatted till the mugs were empty. Hilary escorted Star out and wished her a good honeymoon. Hilary went inside going straight to the bedroom to get ready to go to sleep. She decided to put Pirates of the Carribean 3 on deciding to chill out. Halfway through, Kai entered the room.
"What are you doing here? Where's Angel?"
"Angel is at her grandmothers for tonight and tomorrow. And i came here so that i knew you were ok."
"I'm fine just chilling."
Kai took off his trousers and shirt; and got under the covers with her. She snuggled up to him and he put an arm around her.
"What's been up with you lately?" Kai asked softly as Hilary snuggled up to him.
"I just feel like we're falling apart," Hilary replied.
"Why?"
"I dunno it just does. We never spend time together anymore, we're always working and training. Sometimes i just want to give up!"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Never had time to."
"I'm sorry. I'll spend more time with you. I promise!" Kai said.
"Good!" Hilary responded and kissed him gently.

Hilary woke the next morning alone. She thought Kai was training until she saw a not on the beside table.
Hilary,
I'm sorry i didn't wake you but you hadn't been asleep long. I know i said i'd spend more time with you and i will after i get back from business with the BBA about the tournament. Please don't be mad, i'll call everynight.
Love Kai.
Hilary felt like she'd been ripped in two and was pissed off beyond her limits.
