This is the second to last chapter…sorry for the short notice of that. The last chapter is written [Not edited] and will be posted within the next few days. I will post an overly long author's note at the end of that chapter but for now I'd just like to thank all of you who have read this story from the start. You guys are amazing and it encourages me to write more and I love you all for that.

Anyways I still own nothing and I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 25

Phineas later on that morning [They stayed out there for a long time] gathered up his family to tell them about what had happened. Ferb and Candace sat on the bed looking just as confused as Linda and Lawrence seated next to them. Phineas took a deep breath and started telling his story.

"Well, I'm engaged and we're getting married in three days."

"To who?" Linda asked, being the first to speak after the initial shock.

Ferb just smiled and Phineas took that as approval. Candace however felt the need to intervene before Phineas could answer.

"To the princess?" She asked.

"What?"

"Did I not mention that I was in love with a princess?" He asked sheepishly. "We've been seeing each other for a while actually."

"And when did you plan to tell me about this?" Linda asked.

"Now?" He offered

They couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not kidding about that…."

They laughed again.

"My boy, you love her?" Lawrence asked.

He nodded eagerly.

"Then you have my blessing," he said with a smile.

"Thanks dad!" He shouted flinging his arms around all of them.

Later on after everyone had left for work except for him and Ferb- he spoke.

"I am leaving soon, Phineas."

"Wait…leaving? You never said anything about leaving before."

"I can stay for the wedding but then I have to get back to my world. There are things going on that need my attention besides we need to protect Isabella. My father never forgets, he will return and when he does who knows what he'll do and by that word who knows what that necklace does? I didn't want to tell you this now…''

Phineas flung his arms around his brother, taking him by surprise.

"It alright, Ferb who do what you need to do. Just come back and visit okay?"

Ferb nodded, fighting back a new round of tears.

"Good bye, Phineas I hope life brings you ever happiness."

He didn't speak after that but he didn't need to. Like always, Phineas understood.

Two days later…

Bliss was a term used maybe to describe her feelings at that moment. Though it seemed small compared to all that immortal happiness that coursed through her veins- at that moment. Nothing could compare to what she was feeling standing on a stool while the maids helped her fix up her wedding gown. She had insisted that it was missing something and needed to be changed just slightly.

To be honest, it was more of a symbolic reasoning to her.

Last time she had been fitted for a wedding gown, she was going to be marrying Baljeet. Now she actually felt the excitement that a bride should feel the day before her wedding.

It was such a cliché but she was certain that she was going to be the blushing bride.

And she didn't mind in the least.

''Miss?'

"Hmm," she asked snapping out of her daydreams.

"Your necklace, ma'am is very warm."

She blinked. "Oh sorry about that, it's the material its made from…Its very annoying but I won't take it off."

"Alright ma'am," she muttered still unsure about her answer. With the slopped neck of the bodice on the gown that 'necklace' would be very visible. But who was she to argue over the princess's fashion choices? She continued to work, not speaking as she did so.

A wedding was always a joyous affair and this was no exception. The crowd gathered in the royal's private chapel sitting in the long pews waiting for the ceremony to begin. Most of the attendance did not agree with why they were being gathered.

The princess and the kitchen boy? Preposterous!

But most agreed that it was a sign of beautiful true love that had prevailed. Through everything and anything that was thrown at them. The pair had survived all the prejudice and would because hate never left entirely. It would always remain spoken or not.

Phineas stood next to the priest dressed as finely as he had ever been. He had never before worn silk and would honestly say that it was like wearing a cloud. He looked down the red carpet that served as an aisle waiting impatiently for his new bride.

He had never before been so nervous and was glad that his family sat front row for the ceremony. They took up half a pew sitting right next to Baljeet's family [they had insisted on coming]. He looked to his brother making eye contact for only a minute. Ferb gave him a nod of reassurance and Phineas relaxed somewhat.

The great stone doors at the other end of the church opened. The bridesmaids waltzed in wearing brilliant red gowns that trailed behind them. A little blonde girl through flower petals on the aisle skipping and smiling all the way. Candace smiled to him as she came down with them. Isabella had asked her and she had happily accepted, still holding the bouquet directly in front of her stomach. She was still terrified that they all would know if she was to show her growing stomach.

Phineas returned the smile but wished for them to move faster. Isabella was behind them. The crowd stood to watch her make her entrance. A few excited comments were made on her gown as she walked past.

When she finally came into view, the crowd disappeared. They locked eyes and didn't part until she was at his side. They said everything in that glance and it was as if they could read each other's minds telling each other all those sweet nothings that only they knew.

When Vivian set her hand in his he snapped back. He hadn't even realized that she was the one to be giving her away. He had only seen Isabella.

The priest droned on asking if they would have each other to be each other's everything forever.

Phineas only vaguely remember saying 'I do' because then her lips were on his. They moved together in that kiss dreading the moment they would have to part.

The crowd cheered and they smiled at each other like fools. But they were fools in love so it all added up well. Phineas took her arm and they walked out into their new life together.

The only thought that crossed Candace's mind was: it's him.

It was after the wedding, a dinner had been prepared. She sat at the table lower than her brother and his new bride and that horrid man sat at one end of the royal table. She felt all the fury rise inside her and at that moment she couldn't help but let it out.

She was tired of hiding, of lying. She was tired of it and even though everyone was watching she stood and walked over to that table.

"Hey Candace!" Phineas said, cheerful not even noting her expression.

"This is an exclusive table," one of the cousins invited scoffed.

Candace ignored her and in one swift motion punched Yuki in the face.

The entire dining hall went deathly silent as his chair fell backwards. He clutched his face but before he could yell back he saw her face. Even though the memories were hazy and drink-filled he still remembered that face.

''Ah, you were that maid then."

"Yes I was that maid! And I'd like to tell you something."

"Oh and what could that be?" He asked with a sick smile.

"Yeah Candace what would that be?" Phineas piped up, trying to talk her out of it subtlety.

Candace would hear none of it.

"I would like to thank you for ruining my life. I had something good going and you ruined it all. But since I have responsibilities now-"

She placed a defying hand on her stomach.

"-I will get over it and what is best for that."

She didn't let him say another word as she had fled the room. A smile crossed her face as she raced out into the courtyard and collapsed onto the grass. She had done it and he had deserved every last bit of her fury and she didn't care if everyone knew now. She would just have to leave and she had wanted to leave for ages now anyways.

Besides she wasn't the only young maid who had gotten pregnant before marriage. Plus her little brother had just married a princess! She and her baby would be just fine on their own.

"You hear that little guy? Your mommy will protect you…always never worry about that. We'll be just fine."

Reviews please! I think this chapter might be a bit rushed...what do you guys think?
