Thanks to x snow- pony x for reviewing.
I have written some one shots since last updating this one, and if you want to read there's "The birthday wishes" (the O. C.) for my own birthday. "One fast kind of slow motion" (Jessie) in memory of Cameron Boyce who died of a seizure in his sleep at July 6th, only 20 years old. Rest in peace.
And then at last "Body shaken" (Life unexpected) for Epilepsy/ seizures awareness.
Sorry for not updating, I'm just having a crazy writer's block and I hope it will go away soon.
Pictures of people's clothes will be up on Instagram Linneagbfanfiction in a little while. I'll post Tracy and Seth's now. Some of the others' were put up yesterday and will be put up later
"Have you forgotten we did Fiona's hair when she and Mike got married?"
I was in the bride room of the Saint Petrie's chapel in Newcastle, it was New Year's eve. The last day of this decade, and I had spent the whole afternoon here, in front of the full- body mirror where they did my makeup, then washed it off and did it again, and so it had gone. Now was only fifteen minutes until the wedding was supposed to start.
"No, how could I ever forget that?" I asked the two who were right on either side of me taking a look on how they had just used me as an empty page. "Regardless of me and Mike in the works of finding your brother and make him come to the wedding."
"It's like Finn says." Candi- Rose said while she fixed something in my hair. "There's only one dumping ground… Now, don't you dare cry. Because if you do then the makeup we just put and washed away one thousand and one times…"
"Guys." Suddenly Mike stood in the doorway to the bride room. "It's time."
And with that my heart started beating so loud it could have jumped right out of my chest.
"Good luck."
Candi- Rose and Chloe went out the room and in came Cam and Mike. Cam holding onto a covered bouquet- something of a size we'd already decided I wouldn't have.
"This is from us both." She reached it to me and I carefully unwrapped it. "Oh… Mike. You were supposed to take off the price tag."
"Me? You wrapped it."
"Don't look at it Trace."
Just as I had all the newspaper wrapped around it Cam grabbed it, pulled away a price tag I didn't have time to see and then reached it back to me.
"You shouldn't have." I was almost at loss of words from seeing the big, clear red roses with white pearl- flowers in it. "It just… wow! It must have cost half a for…"
"Don't give a care to what it cost or not." Cam gave me a hug. "You're worth it. " She took a step back and looked into my eyes with her head leaned to the side. "I'd give all money in the world to see that look in your eyes… and hopefully you'll only get married once." I couldn't help but laugh nervously. "I have to go and take my spot up by the altar now, and thank you for choosing me as your bridesmaid."
"Wait…" I looked up at her, nervously looked to her red dress, white bolero and shoes and hair accessories, along with a necklace with a red heart I had given the first time she fostered me, and then to Mike, with a white blazer with red details and black pants, even a red bow- tie and pocket square.
"You guys were always my real parents… But I just wondered… while you were there… did you see my… you know?"
When Mike shook his head and patted my shoulder I tried to comfort myself with knowing that Mike hadn't even met my dad and wouldn't therefore be able to recognize him.
"So…" While Cam left with another smile I forced away a sigh and quickly found something to say. "Hello you two." When we came out of the bridal room there was a hallway, then another door between it and the church room itself. Right by it stood Johnny and Tee as our flower girl and ring bearer. "My God you look nicer than… than… I can't even find any words."
I couldn't help but see in front of me them two the first few days I met them working at the dumping ground. Tee with her ladybird- ears and bright colors, Johnny couldn't have been seen with else than blue hoodies and wanting everything to get fostered along with his sister.
Flash forward to this, Tee with a white tulle skirt and satin red top with her dark- blonde hair braided with red ribbons. Holding onto a white basket about to go forward and spread the red flower leaves in front of us. And Johnny standing so proud and tall with a white, spotless shirt, red vest and tie, and in his hands a white and red silk pillow with I and Seth's rings on it.
"What time is it?" I asked nervously. The doors would open at exact midnight and it would be time. "Mike? Have you got your watch?"
"It's two minutes until midnight." Johnny said and gestured to a clock on the wall over us. "And now, when we're all here today…" He was obviously trying to find a way to pass by time for us all. "….I'm guessing it didn't go smoothly to get everyone from the dumping ground here in preppy clothes and all." Mike shook his head.
"Floss is wearing a polka dot dress, and Tyler and Finn bow ties of the same pattern and Taz refused to come if she didn't get to wear sneakers and a certain, sparkly hairbow…"
Mike was interrupted when suddenly the doors opened and a man suddenly came in. For just one second I hesitated, knowing I had just known him for days. But the black hair and blue eyes quickly was sorted in my brain and I recognized him. For a second
"Mike… ehrm… this is… this is… this is my dad, Gav."
Mike's eyes went dark as he looked the man up and down as if he could see Gav's all darkest secrets before they shook hands.
"Gav- this is Mike. Mike my da… really… the one who always was the most like a dad to me." Gav nodded. "Have you talked anything with my mum?" He looked up on me, then shook his head. "She's not coming!"
I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised and disappointed that Carly Beaker wasn't here. She hadn't been here for anything else in my life neither. Not when I turned eighteen, not when I moved into my own flat for the first time, not when I had been engaged…
"I couldn't miss my own daughter's wedding, could I?"
But now here I was, she was gone and my dad was here- or both of them.
"I think it's time."
Gav nodded and hurried through the doors and when we heard his footsteps towards the floor. I could hardly breathe, and if I hadn't known it was Gus Carmichael playing the organ I'd started worrying that the bride march only would be messed up.
Wow, Gus and Johnny and Tee and…
Not that I disliked them. But I and Seth would have to get some friends we hadn't met through the dumping ground…
Now if I could only make sure not to fall in these high- heeled shoes.
Random fact
I have googled and got some pictures of like all clothes… and I pm'd them to my mum so I could get them into my phone. And then I got the picture of Tracy's and mum was like "wow. Those shoes were terrible"
