It was a little after 5:00 p.m. and Newt was putting the final touches on Imagine's wedding attire.
They didn't have any dress for her to wear, or even a veil.
But she wore a white long sleeved shirt with a white skirt and small wild flowers that Newt had woven throughout her hair in an elaborate up do.
And her brother was supposed to be there any moment with her bouquet of wild flowers that she instructed him to pick out for her to carry down the long flower laden aisle that awaited her.
Her breathing was uneven as Newt turned her around to face the mirror.
Tears were shining in his eyes as he stood back and watched his daughter admire herself for the last time as a single woman.
"You look….gorgeous, love."
He croaked as he wiped at his eyes with his long white shirt and then wiped his hands down his khaki cargo pants trying to rid them of any nonexistent wrinkles that he had made.
Imagine couldn't help the tears that began to fall down her pale cheeks and she reached out for Newt one last time before she was to be handed off to her husband and best friend who was awaiting her arrival that would be any minute.
"Mama…is it okay to be scared?"
She whispered as she held onto Newt tightly.
Newt pulled back slightly and brushed a stray piece of hair out of her face with a small smile.
"Of course, love. We all have a right to be scared sometimes. Right now, you're right on the cusp of beginning your new life with someone who's definitely worthy of your love and affection and everything that you both have to offer each other."
He said gently as he looked down into the same brown eyes that he had fallen in love with years before.
They were the same eyes as her brother.
Who seemed to be missing at this important moment in time.
Newt looked up just as Thomas burst through the door to their room with a chuckle.
"Well bloody hell, love. Better late than never I suppose."
He quipped as Thomas straightened out his long sleeved white shirt and double checked his own cargo shorts for any signs of smudges as he made his way over to them.
Newt frowned instantly when he found a small smudge near Thomas's knee that just had to come out right at that exact moment.
"Sorry. I thought I got them all."
Thomas murmured as Newt dropped to his knees and began scratching off the dirt from Thomas's pants.
Thomas scratched the back of his head and looked up almost doing a double take as his eyes widened at the sight of his baby sister.
"Shit…"
He breathed out, almost dropping the handful of wild flowers that he had specially picked for his baby sister to carry into her new life.
Newt instinctively moved back so the two siblings could have their moment and watched with teary eyes as Thomas slowly approached his sister with a look of awe and complete adoration.
"You look beautiful, Imagine."
He croaked as he took her into his arms immediately hugging her to him tightly knowing that this would be one of the last times that they would be doing this when she was with Gally.
"Thomas…"
Imagine cried as she began to cry and clutch onto her older brother's shirt.
"Immy…"
Her brother echoed in her ear as soft as a whispering wind.
"You're sure about this?"
He asked knowing that her answer would stay the same no matter what he did.
She silently nodded and cried harder knowing that her brother hated the idea of her marrying so young.
But she knew that this was the right thing.
She could feel it.
It was like the Glade was speaking to her, straight to her heart.
And to Gally's letting them know the right path to take.
Just like Gally had led her out of the woods, he would lead her into their new life as a married couple and soulmates till the end of time.
Thomas cried as he clutched his little sister to his chest one more time, and ran his fingers through her soft hair to remind himself that she was there.
She was real and this was real.
He was about to walk his baby sister down the aisle to marry the guy that they all knew she would end up with.
Hell, even he knew that.
Gally and his sister had been made solely for each other.
This was a fact that was set in stone.
Much like their marriage would be.
This would be it.
She wouldn't be his any longer.
Or Newts.
She would Gally's till the end of time.
And whether or not that scared the shit out of him didn't matter.
No.
Not now.
Because his sister, Imagine Janson was getting married and she needed him, right there by her side.
He swore in that moment that he would never truly let her go.
Even when she grew old and they were separated forever.
He would always be there for her.
Whether it be in her heart or by her side.
This was his baby sister.
This was his Imagine.
And she had truly lived up to the name that he had given her when she was born.
Tears sprung from his eyes like small rivers as he remembered the day she was born, and how his neither his mother or father knew what to name the beautiful baby girl that was destined to be his sister.
It was then that he said it.
He called her Imagine.
And from that day forward that was who she was.
Who she always lived up to be.
She was a work of art.
And she was his sister.
Reluctantly he gently pulled himself from her arms and looked down into the eyes that matched his own, tears and all.
"I'm so proud of you. Mom and Dad would be too. They're here, Imagine. You and I both know that."
He choked out as Imagine silently nodded, tears continuing to fall between them.
It was then that Minho appeared in the doorway, halting anymore conversation between them.
"It's time."
He said gently as he surveyed the room.
Newt stood back up and headed towards the two siblings with a small smile for each of them.
"It's time, my beautiful girl. It's time for you to become a wife."
Newt whispered so only the three of them could hear.
Imagine instinctively looked up at Thomas who silently nodded through his own tears.
And then he proceeded to wipe away his sisters, so her face shone brightly in the evening sunset.
Just as it was meant to.
"That's right. It's time. We've got a wedding to go to."
He said as Imagine and Newt broke out in happy smiles.
And that was it.
The three would no longer be just three.
There would be an addition or maybe more to their family.
And the only thing that mattered was how beautiful the girl that stood between the two boys was.
Gorgeous.
Strong.
She was Imagine.
And this was her moment to shine.
