Chapter 35

Ana

Walking out into the gorgeous sunshine Ana put on her sunglasses before turning to walk down the street. They decided to just walk today as they lived pretty much in the heart of everything so nothing was far away.

Luckily the heels she had on with chunky heels rather than stilettoes even though since she changed she seems to be more coordinated and comfortable in heels she wasn't risking a fall by wearing anything with a thin heel. Also these heels were comfortable to walk in.

"Ok Ana first stop wedding dresses." Huldah somehow was skipping and jumping backwards clapping her hands once again.

"Huldah turn around before you fall honey" It was Carla who said this her motherly nature coming out

She turned around with a huff clearly annoyed that she was the only one who was jumping around with excitement. "Huldah I am really looking forward to today I promise I just know that if I jumped around like you I would fall flat on my ass but I am excited." Ana just felt like she had to say something to make Huldah feel better. She was so sweet and Ana really liked her and she knew that all Huldah wanted to do was make people happy.

Huldah turned around smiling grabbing Ana's hand and squeezing it saying thank you before turning back around.

"Ok we are here" she squealed. Ana looked up to see a shop in front of them with beautiful gowns displayed in the window. Walking in it was beautiful but she didn't see wedding gowns, so she was confused as to why they were in here. Just as she was about to say something a woman came to greet them.

"Ahhhhh Huldah so good to see you again come through I have everything set up. Who's the lucky bride to be?" She asked taking them around the corner to the left where there was a separate area filled with wedding dresses they were all incredible. In the middle of the room was a platform with mirrors that wrapped around one side of it in front of the other side was two large cream sofas with three champagne bottles in coolers on either side of the sofas and in the middle of them.

"Ana is the bride" Huldah said pointing at Ana. She gave the lady a small smile. This was a lot to take in and Ana was looking around not sure where she was supposed to start.

"Ana my name is Gia it is so nice to meet you." She reached for Ana's hand. Ana was thinking that she was wanting to shake her hand when she actually wanted to look at her engagement ring.

"Oh wow now that is a stunning ring your Fiancé has very good taste you lucky lady."

"Oh um yeah, thank you he does have really good taste." Ana was a bit caught of guard as the woman was still inspecting her ring. She looked over to the others frowning when everyone was hiding a smile. Everyone apart from Huldah who was currently pouring champagne and handing out glasses to everyone.

"Ok lets start with what it is you're looking for today.

"Errr I'm looking for a wedding dress." This was so confusing they were in a wedding dress shop shouldn't it have been obvious?

"Oh no sweetie I know that I just mean are we looking for bridesmaid dresses, flower girls dresses and maid of honour dresses as well and do you know how many you are having?" Oh shit she hadn't thought about any of that. She grabbed the glass of champagne from Huldah and practically downed the whole thing.

"Gia could you grab some dresses that you think would suit Ana and put them on a rack for her to try on while we have a quick chat please."

Gia just smiled and walked of. "Thank you Huldah, why did I not think of this before we came here today."

"Ana calm down here is your first set of quick fire questions." Huldah said ok she could do this she sat down ready to answer them.

"Number one, How many bridesmaids and who's your maid of honour?"

"Three brides maids you, Artemis and Kate maid of honour is Izzy."

"Oh wow you want us to be in the wedding party? That's so sweet thank you." She breathed deeply fanning her eyes like she was stopping herself from crying. "Ok next how many flower girls?"

"I want Ava and Mia but can I have Abigail and Ella as well or are they to young?"

"You can have Abigail and Ella what would be so cute is if Ava and Mia pushed them in little dressed up strollers how cute would that be?" Everyone sighed with smiles at that image even Ana it would be beyond adorable.

"Ok next who is your page boy?"

"Well I want Jamie and Theo but Jamie is to small to push a stroller but I have an idea what if Benji pushes Theo down and he can hold Jamie's hand because Jamie will be a bit scared to walk down on his own. What do you think?"

" I think it's perfect." Carla answered.

" Ok next what is the colour scheme?"

"Well I want an off white dress for me. I want the flower girls in lilac dresses with white satin shoes, but I want the older girls dresses to be different to the babies dresses. The boys I want them in little suits with waist coat and purple bow tie no jacket though that's to much. Just the men I want in full suits. The brides maids I want in dark purple dresses and the maid of honour in the same but slightly different if its ok with you ladies.."

"I thought you didn't know what to do that's pretty specific Ana." Huldah was laughing at her now with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Ana has always loved the colour purple so I'm not surprised she had included it in the colour scheme." Carla was beaming at her looking every inch of the doting Mom Ana had always known.

"Ok let me go and let Gia know what your want and then we will start trying things on."

They spent just under two hours in the shop. When they left Ana had a slight buzz happening thanks to the champagne. They all really needed to eat, so they decided to go find a nice restaurant for lunch and wine to figure out the rest of the wedding.

They had got so lucky going into the dress shop they went into. After trying on what felt like a million stunning dresses and a few hideous ones that Huldah thought would be hilarious to get Ana to try on so that she could take pictures of her in them. She had no idea what Huldah planned to do with the pictures but if they ended up on any social media Ana did threaten to ban her from the coronation. Huldah just stuck her tongue out promising she would keep them to herself. Ana finally found her dream dress. When she walked out of the dressing room and looked in the mirror she knew straight away this was it.

When she had turned around to everyone else they all looked like the wanted to cry. They all had the universal hand on heart, head tilted to the side. Look that everyone who sees a loved one in their wedding gown for the first time has.

It was stunning it was a tight dress that flared out from mid thigh in a mermaid style. It was thick satin, the back of the dress was transparent lace making it look backless all the way down to base of her spine. Running up the middle of her spine was small clusters of white flowers. When they reached her shoulder blades they split of over each shoulder making them look like they were the straps of the dress they got thicker as they reached her bust spreading out to cover her bust down to her waist in the white flowers before it became the thick satin again. It was long the back longer than the front. The thick satin flowing behind her about four feet. The dress had a train of lace that was attached to the skirt from just under the transparent lace at her hips and flowed down past the bottom of the skirt, flowing behind her about Eight feet the train had white flowers all around the bottom. It was a simple design but stunning as well and perfect for Ana.

After Ana finding hers the rest was pretty easy Izzy, Huldah and Artemis had found some dresses they liked and they picked their favourite deciding that Izzy's would be long and Artemis and Huldah's would come to just below their knees. The dresses where dark purple satin dresses that were tight with a thick purple belt under the bust made of the same satin as the dress. It was a mermaid style dress. Artemis and Huldah's flaring out from mid thigh and Izzy's flaring our from just under her knees.

Mia's and Ava's dresses were gorgeous. They were lilac silk princes dresses that had white lace flower detailing around the top area and white transparent lace sitting slightly longer than the lilac full knee length tutu skirt underneath on the right side of the waist was a big white rose. The shoes were satin slippers with white roses in a row across the top of the shoes.

Abigail's and Ella's dresses were tiny and gorgeous. They were thick satin lilac dresses the skirts had multiple layers making them full over the top of the dress was a very pale lilac transparent lace that fell a couple of inch's below the skirt underneath. On the side of the dress was a big lilac hydrangea the back had a huge silk lilac bow. The shoes were little white baby slippers that had three flowers over the top and a little flower that was attached to the Velcro fastener with a ruffled edge that would go around their ankles it was padded for comfort. They were by far the cutest outfits she had ever seen.

Walking into the restaurant They took their seats and ordered their drinks and food deciding to just stick to champagne as it was a celebration and not wanting to mix drinks. Huldah pulled out a folder that had everything a bride to be could possible want.

Just as Huldah was about to start with the questions Ana suddenly had an awful feeling.

"Huldah honey give me a second I just need to phone Christian quickly I will be back in a minute." She went to stand outside for some privacy but could still see the table.

After a few rings Christian answered "Hi baby how's it going?" She knew straight away something was wrong he sounded worried.

"Christian what's wrong? I had a bad feeling and I can hear in your voice I was right is everything ok? Do you want us to come back?" He was quiet for a few minutes making Ana even more nervous.

"Baby you have to understand it wasn't my fault so you can't be mad ok?" Ah fuck this didn't sound good.

"Christian what the fuck has happened just tell me." She tried to say it quietly but a few people looked her so she couldn't have been to quiet.

"Ok so before you met me after I saw you, I had a secret room made for us. It's where I keep all our toys and well it's a play room for us. Well we were playing hide and seek with Mia and Jamie and Mia somehow found the room, but I swear I don't know how it's really hidden. Anyway I found her stood in the middle of the room. Ana none of the toys are hidden so she saw everything." What the actual fuck she was screaming in her head her Mom, Huldah and Artemis turned to look at her. Izzy however was clueless trying to talk everyone into having shots. Fuck what was she going to say to Izzy.

Also playroom what the fuck why had he never told her about that oh they had so much to talk about. Once they sorted the mess out of course. "Fuck what kinds of toys are you talking about what the fuck did she see?"

"Well... whips, chain, vibrators, butt plugs, clamps everything, Ana she saw everything." She growled down the phone what the fuck was she going to do. Ok she needed to calm down maybe just get Izzy drunk then distract the kids in the hopes that they forget. She thought and then instantly dismissed it she knew that idea would never work.

"Ok I will talk to my sister. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to say but I am sure if I explain a little she will understand." Maybe if she just said Mia found her sex toy it wouldn't be as bad as oh yeah she found the fucking stock room for a sex shop for fuck sake this was a nightmare but one they would laugh about one day she hoped.

She was just about to say good bye when Christian spoke again. "Errr baby that's not all." What the fuck more has happened they haven't been gone long.

"What do you mean? what else could have happened we have only been gone two hours." She was pinching the bridge of her nose shaking her head at her Mom who was looking worried.

"Well this one isn't actually my fault so you can't really be mad at me." she growled again sounding more and more like Christian he sighed then continued "Well we were playing hide and seek and just as I found Mia in the playroom I heard a scream from down stairs. I grabbed Mia and ran down to see Ava terrified and the twins and Ella sat in bouncy chairs in a huge play pen filled with pink and blue balls. Apparently they had seen it on that damn fucking show and Ava said furniture started moving back and the play pen appeared. Then she said all three of the babies were sat in it. They even glamoured a matching bouncy chair for Ella."

Oh well they were fucked. There was no explaining this to her sister. What was she supposed to say oh yeah didn't you know we have been teaching out tiny new born children fucking magic. She was pacing now close to panicking.

"What can you do because this needs to be fixed. I could explain away the play room but I can't explain what the twins did. So what can you do?" He had to have an answer because she had nothing.

" I can take the memory away for them all but I'm not a fan of messing with kids memories but this situation is beyond fucked up and I don't know what else to do." She couldn't agree more. She heard a phone ringing from their table pulling her Mom's attention from Ana. She turned around facing away from the table and answered him.

"Do it we have no choice because I cannot have my sister find out."

"Ava who are you calling?" Ana heard the voice of her soon to be brother in-law followed by the voice of her very scared niece.

"My Mommy I'm scared did you not hear what I just said happened?" Fuck what was she saying to Izzy?

"Mommy I swear I'm telling you through truth." She could here Ava speaking and then hear her sisters confused voice.

"Ava honey how is that even possible the babies can't move furniture." Nope this was not good she felt like she was having a nervous breakdown.

"Ana she is telling Izzy." she wanted to shout DOH she had supernatural hearing so she knew that. She also knew this wasn't his fault and she felt sorry for him.

"Yes Christian I can hear what my sister is being told for fuck sake." She knew he would know that she wasn't angry with him she was frustrated about what they were going to do with the twins.

"Honey tell Christian to deal with things there I will deal with things here." Her Mom spoke in her head. Oh she was so grateful her Mom was here. She also needed to some training to figure out how to use all her powers cause right now she had no idea. Some came naturally but she had some she hadn't even accessed yet.

"Ok do me a favour honey. You deal with the issue on your end and we will deal with things here. Wipe their memories make the play pen part of their new memories because I worry that the twins will just do it again if you get rid of it. Then when I get home we are talking to trouble one and trouble two. Also baby I don't blame you, I get that kids are hard work. None of what has happened today is your fault, but lets stay away from hide and seek. Maybe put a movie on take the twins out of the room. Tell them because of what they did the Teletubbies is not allowed on for the rest of the day. It's honestly the only thing I can think to do because of their ages and I'm not sure it will even work but it's worth a try."

She felt so so bad for him because she knew kids were hard work. Add twins who are magical to the mix and he must be close to losing his mind.

"Ana baby what if they get upset do you really think they need to be punished they only wanted to play baby. I'm wiping their memories so no harm done." She loved how much he loved the babies but they couldn't let them keep doing this something needed to be done.

"Christian they need to know they can't use their magic like that especially not in front of people, they need to learn."

"Ana I hate seeing them cry is there nothing else we can do please baby?" Ok this man as much as she loved him he really needed to do what she was asking him to do or he would be spending a lot of his time wiping memories.

"Christian honey, I love you so much and I love that you don't want to see our babies upset I really do." She heard him sigh sounding like he was relieved. Aw bless him he thought she was agreeing with him she smiled. She fucking loved this man, she hated that she had to ruin his relief. "but if you do not do what I am telling you to do then that thing you wanted to do tonight won't be happening. Ok?"

"Fine but if they grow up to hate me it's your fault." she could here him sulking and she just laughed said her good byes and went back to join everyone her Mom was coming back from the restroom with Izzy.

"Everything ok?" Ana asked cautiously.

"Yep so shots anyone?" Izzy asked oh yes she sooooooo needed a shot.

"Yes please make it something strong. Huldah get that book back out we have to plan this wedding."

After downing shots of fire ball Izzy's favourite apparently. They started the questions.

"Ok venue?"

"The same Place I met Christian at my parents anniversary party."

"Ok food?"

"Ohhhhhhhhh steak and lobster." It was Izzy who answered as she brought over more shots. This could get messy she thought with a laugh.

"That actually sounds nice so steak and lobster it is."

"Ok Hair and make up?"

"I have a salon I get my hair done at they do make up as well so I will see if they can fit me in."

"Ana they will fit you in don't worry write the name down and I will sort it." She could have hugged Huldah she was going to make this so much easier.

"Ok Flowers?" She was looking in the big folder when she saw a beautiful bouquet of four white garden roses and three smaller buds with purple freesia's randomly placed throughout.

" That one and smaller versions for everyone else" Ana pointed it out to Huldah not realising she was just sitting back down with more shots. What the fuck are they all trying to get drunk.

"Guys just cause we are out doesn't mean we have to get drunk you guys realise we have to go back to children." Ana realised how ridiculous she sounded as she ended the speech by downing the shot. Everyone looked at her with raised eye brows.

"Ok ok you can't put a shot in front of me and not expect me to drink I'm weak" She laughed when everyone rolled their eyes laughing.

"Ok next question. Cake?"

She looked through the book that seemed to have every wedding cake ever made. Looking through it she saw one it was beautiful it had five tiers flowing up one side of the five tiers was white and purple sugar flowers. the cake looked like it was cover in white lace. Around the bottoms was white sugar roses and green leaves. The description said the cake was chocolate, salted caramel and raspberry cream. "This one please." She was licking her lips at the thought of it. It sounded amazing.

"Oh I was hoping you would choose that one." At that everyone sat forward to read the description moaning with pleasure at the thought of it.

"Ok anyone else craving something salted caramel? I am sure I saw something on the menu." Izzy said causing everyone to nod in agreement convincing themselves that they needed something to soak up the alcohol, so why not.

"Izzy go and order the desserts honey while I carry on with the questions." Ana looked up to see Huldah wink at Izzy who walked away giggling.

"Place settings?"

When she didn't see anything in the book that she wanted she just said "Anything Purple and white."

"Ok leave that with me. Centre pieces?"

She looked through the book and within seconds saw what she wanted it was a huge bouquet in a tall vase. The flowers were described as a mixture of Purple pansies, China aster, white roses and white dahlias it was incredible. "This one."

Huldah looked down at it and smile "I thought you would love that the second I knew what the colour scheme was." Ana beamed at her she was getting so excited now.

"Ok now that I know what you want as the theme leave the rest to me I will also sort the favours out. This is a list of things that you and Christian need to figure out. We know the first dance song which is still beyond perfect. However you need to figure out what other music you want played or if you want a band or DJ that has to be something you decide together. Your vows I'm presuming you won't be wanting the traditional one."

At that moment Izzy was back at the table with more shots so that's what the wink was about she thought with a smile.

"Yeah we will want to write our own."

Guest list you and Christian will have to work that out together."

"I think it will be a relatively small affair." Thinking of people she would want to invite actually reminder her about her PA Sam which then made her think about work.

"Mom what's happening with work?" She hadn't even thought about it she had been so preoccupied.

"Oh honey don't worry I have spoken to your clients we have given them interim support we offered them alternative therapist until you were back but most wanted to wait. Don't worry honey it's all sorted."

She breathed a sigh of relief "Thanks Mom your a life saver. Ok what's next?"

"Rings again something you and Christian need to decide together and that my friend is everything. Now I know what you want leave the details up to me."

Ana got up and hugged Huldah thanking her before sitting back down and holding up her untouched shot. " Cheers guys I love you all so much thank you for being so wonderful." They all drank the shot just as the desserts arrived thankfully because was Ana beginning to feel the affects of the shots and she was worried when the fresh air hit her she would end up face planting the pavement and lets face it that's never a good look.

They sat for a little while longer Huldah excitedly talking about the planning of the bachelorette party which filled her with so much dread. She had a feeling that she was going to be dressed like an idiot and it was sounding more and more like all the accessories for the night were very much penis themed. The way Huldah justified it is if they don't get to see live penises then they will have as much of it in other ways as is legally allowed out in public. Ana couldn't stop laughing at the images she painted.

After another shot they decided to call it a night. They stumbled out of the restaurant and yep the fresh air hit them all but it would seem the only one who nearly fell was Izzy. Artemins and Huldah caught her before she could fall. They kept their arms around her all the way back to the apartment.

Carla was on the phone to Elliot telling him to come and pick them all up. Everyone was looking tipsy and tiered and Ana couldn't wait to get home and see Christian.

Walking into the apartment she had never been more grateful for magic than she was right in that moment. What the fuck had actually happened the sofa was covered in children, snacks and chocolate handprints all the men were sat looking like they had just fought a war in hell. They were watching a cartoon and if Ana wasn't mistaken the cartoon was wreck it ralph another thing she had been forced to watch over and over again thanks to her nephews obsession.

She didn't think the guys had realised they were the only ones watching it until they all walked through the elevator and they turned around to see that they were the only ones awake.

It was so cute. She walked over to Christian careful not to wake the kids and probably looking ridiculous as she was tipsy and felt like her movements were all over exaggerated.

"Have fun baby." She said quietly before giving him a small kiss. Fuck she had missed him.

"Mmmmm, I missed you kitten how was your afternoon? Get much planning done?" She was looking at Abigail stroking her small head before looking over at Theo they were perfect and her heart swelled with how much she loved them.

"We did actually pretty much everything is planned. We even found the dress. There are a few things we need to do together, but yep most of it is done. So you are up next, to work your magic and get it arrange Mr." She laughed quietly still stroking Abigail's soft hair and staring at her twin who had a little smile on his face.

Not long after this Elliot had shown up to take Izzy and the kids and her Mom home. Then everyone else shimmered out and all she wanted to do was have a relaxing bath with her future husband and show him how much she loved him.
