"Guys what the hell am I doing!? This is ridiculous!" Maka yells at her bridesmaids Patti, Liz and Tsubaki.
"Are you seriously having second thoughts? We've been planning this for 4 months!" Liz whales as she straightens the train of Maka's white dress.
"Hell no I'm not having second thoughts! But can't we just do this in a small church with…I don't know…less things! I mean it looks like Wonderland out there! I just want something simple!" Maka throws her hands in the air and Tsubaki slaps her head and tells her not to move.
"Maka, this is what every girl dreams of! A perfect fairy tale wedding! And have you forgotten that you are marrying the one and only Soul Evans!?" Patti laughs hysterically.
Maka slaps her forehead and sighs dramatically.
"No Patti…I haven't forgotten…but seriously…this is like something out of a Disney movie!"
"I give up...MAKA YOU ARE GOING TO MARCH UP THERE AND MARRY THAT DUMBASS EVANS IF YOUR FUCKING LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!"
"Thank you Patti." Liz says sweetly as Maka gulps and nods.
"O-okay." And with that…the bridesmaids brush Maka's hair down and curl a few more curls add a little more gloss to her already light pink lips and touch up her light brown eyes shadow.
"You look beautiful Maka." Tsubaki smiles.
Maka takes a deep breath and smiles a little. "Thanks Tsubaki. I'm just…I don't know…how did you feel on your wedding day?" Maka asks looking at the golden ring on her ring finger.
Tsubaki smiles brightly. "I felt like a princess." She says and Maka sighs.
"Yeah...I guess I'm just a little nervous…what if…what if things don't turn out right…like Mama and Papa." Maka whispers holding in her tears making sure not to ruin her make up.
"Maka do you love Soul?" Liz asks.
"More than anything." Maka smiles.
"Do you want to be with him forever? Can you imagine your life without him?" Tsubaki asks.
Maka's eyes widen, "No I can't." She admits.
"Maka close your eyes and picture something for me okay?" Patti asks and Maka nods closing her eyes.
"Maka what are you doing ten years from now?" Patti asks and Maka thinks.
"I'm cooking…in a kitchen."
"Do you see any thing different?" Patti asks.
"Yeah…I see," She trails off and lets a tear drop.
"I see Soul and…and a little boy. There playing in the backyard." Maka smiles but keeps her eyes closed.
"What else do you see Maka?"
"I'm pregnant…I'm happy…I…I have a family….with Soul." Maka whispers and opens her watery eyes.
"You guys will be fine…You guys are in love and are not in some honeymoon stage…this is true love. I know that sounds like a quote on a TV soap opera…but it's true…Even me and Crona took a while to be truly happy together…now I can't live without the shy guy. What you and Soul have is special and everybody wants what you have…you have him Maka…You got the thing every girl out there wants."
We all turn and look at Patti with wide eyes.
Yes it's true ever since Patti stared dating Crona two years ago she's been a little more mature but what she just said…made her sound like she's the smartest person in the group…which his highly doubtful.
"T-Thank you Patti…T-That means a lot."
Maka pulls her into a hug.
"I still think your dress should at least have some Giraffe stickers on it." Patti mumbles and the moments ruined.
Maka pulls away with a large smile.
"Let's do this girls."
"Oh God…what he hell am I doing! What if she doesn't show up?" Soul complains while he fixes his dark crimson red shirt and throws his pinstriped jacket over it and messes around with the black tie.
"Soul…buddy shut the fuck up you're being a little bitch." His best man Black*Star says well he fills another glass with champagne.
"Wow…what happened to the loving speech…or pep talk or something?" Soul groans and rubs his forehead.
"Soul we're grown men now. You're not going on your first date… or talking about kissing some girl you really like. You're getting married. To Maka. What else do you want me to tell you…do you not love her or something…second thoughts?" Black*Star asks and Soul punches him in the stomach.
"Or course not you moron!" Soul glares but eases up when he feels a hand press on his shoulder.
"Black*Star…I thought Tsubaki asked you not to drink any more alcohol." Kid said.
"She ain't the boss of me I'm a fucking God!" Black*Star hollers and stands on the red chair.
"Hm well I'll just go tell her that then." Kid starts to walk to the door when Black*Star freezes.
"Wait don't! The couch is so fucking uncomfortable! Please don't do it buddy I love you man!" Black*Star tackles Kid and hugs him.
"STAR GET THE HELL OFF ME YOU'RE RUINING MY SYMMETRY YOU BLUE HEADED FREAK!" Kid screams in horror and pushes the said blue head freak off of himself well Soul bursts out laughing.
"Now Soul…Close your eyes for me." Kid asks and Soul raises an eyebrow.
"You're not coming out of the closet are you?" Soul jokes but is seriously curious.
"NO I'M MARRIED! YOU FUCKING PRICK!" Kid shouts and throws a pen at Soul's head…which he thankfully dodged.
"Fine, fine whatever!" Soul closed his eyes and shoved his hands deep in his pockets.
"What do you see…ten years down the road?" Kid asks. Soul raises an eyebrow but thinks anyway.
"I'm in a room….a pink room." Soul says slowly.
"Anything else?" Kid asks.
"Yeah…Maka….she's reading…to a little girl…when she's finished she stands up and hugs me…she's pregnant….I have a family…with Maka…we're a family." Soul smiles a little.
"See…you love her…you want a family with her. She's going to show up…she wouldn't leave you Soul…she's made that very clear." Kid says and Black*Star chuckles.
"Yeah you were so fucking blind 5 years ago." 'Shut up you idiot." Soul grumbles which causes both men to laugh.
"Ahem…Boys…Can I have a word with Soul for a minute?" Stein comes in the room.
"Yeah sure thing Stein-a-roo!" Black*Star jumps out of the room laughing.
"See ya up there Soul."
With that the guys leave to get ready to walk with their wives down the line.
"Hey Stein." Soul says looking in the mirror again.
"Nervous?" Stein asks puffing on a cigarette. "Hell yeah I am." Soul says honestly.
"Any second thoughts?" Stein asks raising an eyebrow but keeping his face emotionless.
"No…I don't have any second thoughts about this…I'm just worried…what if she…leaves me…any time in the future?" Soul shrugs and Stein chuckles and shakes his head.
"Soul I think you're forgetting all the trouble she went through to tell you how much she loves you and that she's not going anywhere…Now I know that you have problems with people….but that's only to be expected from your past. But I have to give it to you Soul…you are one of the best damn kids I've ever met…you've always been amazing and I know your parents would be extremely proud of you." Stein says and Soul's eyes water.
"So not cool." He groans and wipes his eyes.
"I've watched you grow up Soul…You grew up from that punk kid who thought he was all that to an amazing man…and that's because of Maka. You are very lucky to have her in your life…she's done great things to you." Stein adds and Soul nods.
"Yeah…she's pretty special isn't she….Do you think Mom and Dad would like her?" He asks Stein…Stein smiles…a real smile…one Soul only saw when he was with his father.
"Yeah…I'm sure they'd love her. But you have to remember Soul…they may not be here…but they are still with you…they're always watching you…and I'm sure they are extremely happy for you." Soul gives up and pulls Stein into a hug.
"Thanks Stein. For everything." Soul says and pulls away with a smile on his face.
"Let's do this."
"You look so beautiful baby girl! Papa's so proud of you!" My father wails as we watch my friends walk down the isle.
"Thanks Papa." I smile trying to calm my flying heart.
The music starts and that's out cue to start walking.
"Maka…You don't have to do this…we can turn around and walk away right now…No one will stop up and you can come back and live with papa! I haven't moved a thing in your bedroom!"
"MAKA CHOP!" I scream and slam my book into his head. Every face in the crowd looks towards us…not because I'm walking down the isle…because my father is lying on the ground unconscious.
I flush when I see Soul laugh.
I kick my father with the end of my flats and watch him pull himself up groaning in pain.
I force a smile and wrap my arm around his.
"I love you Maka…I'm so proud of you." That brings tears to my eyes. I pull him into a hug and he kisses my cheek and lets me walk up to Soul.
"Hey." I say.
He smirks and takes my hand.
"Hey."
We dace each other and everybody sits down.
"Maka Albarn and Soul Evans have written there own vows. Maka…you can start."
The pastor looks at me but I don't notice I only look at Soul and smile.
"Soul…The day I first met you…my first impression…you were an ass." I start and the audience laughs.
"I remember you walking into my fathers bar…Death Jams… you called it some shitty place…you thought you were all that… and I couldn't help but admire you for that. You sat down and ordered a drink…you thought no one would notice you with those stupid glasses…but I've never known anyone with the crazy awesome teeth that you have. When I joined your band…we didn't get along…we had a crazy relationship…back and forth over and over. We both hurt each other in different ways with every kiss we shared and every threat we made…but over the years every time I see you…I just want to tell you I love you…I love you every day…and I fall in love with you even more every time you do that once irritating smirk at me. I'm ever leaving you Soul…and it took so long to get it through your head…but it finally worked….and this is my promise…I promise to love you and always be here for you…because I can't live my life without you."
I finish and Soul the whole time was smirking at me.
I hear cheers and I turn and look at all our friends and crew members. I see Papa on his knees in tears. I see Stein sitting next to Marie holding her hand. I see Crona clapping softly looking around and scooting closer to Patti. I can't help but smile.
"Soul Evans…You're up."
"Well…When I walked into that bar that one night over 6 years ago…Its true…I thought it was a shitty little place…but when my eyes landed on the bartender. Everything lightened up…even though I don't know why. She was…and still is…the snippy, hot headed, short tempered, violent, bookworm, that out smarted me in so many ways…When You joined the band…I was nervous…I only known you for a few hours and I already felt something. A few weeks later…you sang your first solo song on stage and I thought it was impossible to fall in love...in just a month's time…but it wasn't. You had me hooked from the very beginning. I needed to be near you…everyday...and when you dated that Asura guy…I felt broken…and I knew I had to get you back…I was the one who chased you away in the first place…I saved your life that night…but what you didn't know…is that you saved my life way before I did. You made me a better person and I don't know where I would be if you didn't knock some sense into my head with those many, many, many Maka Chops. But I'm glad you did. Because I never believed in the feeling that I feel for you before. And I know I was missing out. This is my promise to you…I'm never letting you leave…like I said before…I'll follow you to the ends of the earth before I let you go."
Soul finishes and tears are falling down my face.
"I love you Maka." He whispers to only me and wipes my face.
"The rings please." The pastor says and a little boy with glasses and stitches on his white coat walks down the isle.
That's right Stein had a little child with his engaged wife to be Marie. His golden hair mixes well with his gray eyes and small body.
"Thank you Frankie." I smile down at him as Soul grabs my ring and takes my hand.
"Do you Soul Evans take Maka Albarn to be your wife?" He says and Soul smirks.
"Hell yeah I do." The crowd laughs as I giggle.
Soul slips the golden band with a ruby red diamond onto my finger and I have to quickly wipe away my tears.
"Do you Maka Albarn take Soul Evans to be your husband?" The man asks and I smile.
"O-Of course I do!" I say quickly grab his hand and take the golden ring off the pillow and slip it on his finger.
I send him a small smile before I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his.
"Then…you can kiss the bride." The pastor smiles.
Soul wraps his arms around my waist and smiles into the kiss.
I pull away and giggle looking at the people I love who are standing and cheering like crazy. I look at Soul.
"I love you Soul…When I was younger I never imagined getting married and y'know being in love…but you proved me wrong Soul…Thank you for that…thank you." I smiled and he pulled me closer to him and grabbed my hand and rubs his thumb over my ring.
"Same goes for you Maka…I don't know where I would be if you weren't so god damn violent." He smirks and I slap his arm.
"See what I mean!" He cries and I throw my head back and laugh.
"But you love me anyway."
"That I do." And with that he pulls me into another searing kiss.
"Hey everybody!" I cry out to the party. The guests stop and look at me on the stage.
"I know the band retired a while ago…but I couldn't stop from writing at least one more song. Um I was wondering if all of you guys could come up here and help me sing it." I ask and when Soul goes to stand I stop him.
"Not you Soul…this one was um written for you and I'd like it if you would listen." I smile shyly and he raises his eyebrow but sits down any way.
Once the band is all set up I hand them the papers and they all smile.
I walk to the white grand piano at center stage.
"This one's for you Soul." I look right at him and smile as I press down on the first notes on the piano.
"Heartbeats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer!"
As I sing the first verse I catch Soul's gaze and I watch him lean forward in his chair. He smirks and blows me a kiss. I blush and quickly look back at the piano.
"I have died everyday waiting for youDarling don't be afraid I have loved youfor a thousand yearsI love you for a thousand more!"
I sing the chorus and Smile when Black*Star starts hitting the drums and Tsubaki and Kid lightly start strumming the strings.
"Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer!"
I sing slowly and carefully as I place both my hands on the microphone and take a deep breath letting the band carry on the music.
"I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you!"
I sing and start walking around the stage.
"Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand yearsI love you for a thousand more!"
I sing loudly and place my hand over my stomach to keep myself steady. I open my eyes and nod to Stein. A light appears behind me and a slide show starts going. Pictures of when Liz, Patti and I first joined the band…pictures of all of us on stage singing…and pictures of me and Soul.
"One step closer One step closer!"
I sing and look at the screen. The picture of our first kiss is there and the crowd awe's I faintly hear my papa cry. I shake my head and giggle a tiny bit as the music slows and I walk back over to the middle of the stage and place the microphone in the stand.
"I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I love you for a thousand more!"
I hear a few voices and I look behind me and see the interview I gave Marie all those years ago. As the music plays on we all laugh at how I describe Soul. I look over to my husband and wink at him. He's cracking up laughing when I call him a dick and then a giant ass. I can't help but blush when he mouths the words 'Love you too.'
"And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I love you for a thousand more!"
The song ends and so does the slide show ending on the picture we took today after the wedding. Me and Soul standing in front of Death Jams me smiling at the camera as he presses a kiss to the side of my head.
We came back to DeathCity for the wedding so Papa could come and we thought it was a good idea to have the wedding where we met.
"Well I hope you guys liked it!" I say and the crowd cheers and I can't help but get that old feeling in my stomach like I did every time we finished a song and the sea of fans would cheer our name.
I watch Soul get up from his seat and make his way up stage.
I fidget with my fingers and smile at my feet.
I gasp a little when Soul lifts my chin and presses a soft kiss on my lips.
"That was absolutely amazing Maka...just like you." He smiles and I hug him tightly.
"Can you believe this is where we met…6 years ago…in this tiny little bar…I mean what are the odds." I laugh and he shrugs. "We can start are lives together now." He smirks. "Just you and me Mrs. Evans." I bite my bottom lip and look him in the eyes.
"What's wrong…don't like the way that sounds…Mrs. Maka Evans…I think it has a nice ring to it." He says and I giggle and take his hand in mine and slowly guide it to my stomach.
"Actually…I love the way it sounds…but…it's not going to be just you and me…I-I'm pregnant."
I breathe out and Soul's eyes widen.
"R-Really?" He asks and I gulp and nod.
"Are you sure?" He says and presses his hand a little harder on my stomach and I look down.
I squeak when he picks me up and spins me around. "Oh God Maka! We're going to be a real family!" He laughs and I wrap my hands around his neck. "Yeah Soul…we're going to be a family. Just you, me and this little guy."
"You think it's a boy?" He asks and stops spinning me. "Yeah…it just makes sense right? I really want him to have your eyes." I smile.
He raises an eyebrow.
"I think it's a girl…I want her to have your smile." Soul says and I blush and try to hide my smile.
"We'll just have to see wont we." I press a kiss to his lips and he responds and wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer.
"Yes we will."
4 Years later.
"Maka…It's your turn." Soul wines next to me. I put down my book with a sigh.
"Soul stop being a baby and go read them a book. It wouldn't hurt for you to read just a little bit more."
"But Maka I hate reading! It's so hard!" My 28 year old husband complains. "Oh yes Soul, because reading 'The little Train That Could' is the hardest book in the world." I say sarcastically.
"Emmy hates that book! She always wants me to read 'Romeo and Juliet' just like her god damn mother wanting to read the most cheesy…longest…and boring books out there." Soul says and I glare.
"MAKA CHOP!" I scream and slam my copy of 'Romeo and Juliet' into his head.
"Then read 'Goosebumps' Michael and Emmy both like that book. And there aren't many words." I say and Soul groans.
"Fine."
With that he walks into the kid's room and I smile.
I sneak around the corner and peak into the room. Soul's in the middle of the two children on Emmy's pink bed. I look to Emmy and see her white hair falling lightly over her shoulders, she was 4 years old and had Souls exact eye color. She was just like me though…the little bookworm.
Michael was three year's old and had shaggy blonde hair, emerald green eyes and shark teeth. He was just like his father. Always to cool for everything.
"Oh Mommy! Come sit down with papa!" I smile when I hear Soul's voice.
I run to the bed and tackle all three of them.
"Ah! Mama's got us! Daddy Save us!" Emmy squeals her little body trying to escape my grasp.
"Well how about I just get mommy!" Soul wraps his arms around us and I smile. "Michael save me!" I squeak and his eyes widen and he crawls over the blankets and lands in my lap.
"Soul! You have to finish the story!" I say and he drags the three of us to the end of the bed and cuddles against my neck.
"My head hurts…too many words…you finish it." He tosses me the book and I moan but open it up and wait until Emmy is on my left side and Michaels on my right. I lay my head against Soul's chest as he runs his fingers through my hair.
After I finished the story Emmy and Michael were both past out so me and Soul snuck back into our room.
"You know Soul…I was looking at pictures this morning and I couldn't help but notice how good you look in a suit." I smile sweetly and pull him on top of me as I fall on the bed.
I press a kiss against his lips and he growls.
"Yeah I'd say you dress to impress." I giggle.
He smashes his lips on mine again and we lay on the bed and kiss for a little while when he pulls away.
"I love you so much Mrs. Evans…but you're wrong…I undress to impress."
Yes I know i have to admit to something...That last sentence...'I undress to impress' was from my absolute favorite book 'Finale' from 'The Hush Hush series' Never read it? GET YOUR BUTT UP AND READ IT NOW! :)
Again thank you all for sticking with me throughout this whole story! I love you all and I hope to see you soon in one of my next Stories! =)
Until next time!
