Chapter 4

Nathaniel and Lila sat together at the registry office in front of the official, which was signing a sheet in front of the duo. Behind the couple stood Nathaniel's mother together with Lila's parents witnessing their children getting married.

"Now I ask you two to sign here and here" The official asked handing the sheet out to the couple, first taken by Lila to add her signature on it.

"Now the times I practiced writing my name are finally getting paid off" Lila declared signing the sheet, while Nathaniel waited for his turn.

"You practiced writing your name the whole time?" Nathaniel asked interested earning a nod from the brunette.

"I don't want to mess up the name Lila Kurtzberg on its first usage"

"Your writing looks like art, unlike my signature, which looks like I'm trying to fake someone's writing" Nathaniel explained making the woman chuckle for short, afterward she handed him out the pen for him to sign down his name. "I'm done" Nathaniel mentioned giving the official the sheets back.

"Your signature is fine, Mr. Kurtzberg" The official mentioned glancing up at the redhead.

"Would Adrien have to sign all his five first names on the sheets actually?" Nathaniel asked looking at his fiancé.

"He's got five names?" Lila asked surprised. "How do you know?"

"The other day at the boys' night we had at Kim's commune. Adrien confessed it during the truth and dare game we were all playing," The redhead told the girl. "It's a funny story,"

"Nathaniel Kurtzberg and Lila Rossi, I'm proud to declare you husband and wife," The woman announced watching Lila and Nathaniel share a kiss, finally getting married followed by the parents clapping in joy about the small ceremony.

"I'm so proud of you" Miss Kurtzberg confessed giving Nathaniel and Lila a hug. "And welcome to the family, Lila. And may I say the name Kurtzberg suits you really well" The raven-haired woman said noticing her son turn red at the comment.

"Thank you Miss Kurtzberg" Lila said watching the mother-in-law get up and Mrs. Rossi watched Lila get up along with Nathaniel and she shared a long hug with her daughter.

"Congratulations bella,"

Mr. Rossi also hugged his daughter giving her a peck on her head.

"You and Nathaniel should check out the surprise, that's waiting out there for you," Mrs. Rossi told the brunette young lady, which nodded and looked at Nathaniel, which gazed at his mother, which smiled at the son and he followed Lila out of the office at the corridor and at the end of the corridor, they opened the door to catch down at the street the driver of the Rossi's in front of a US-American SUV with a sheet pointing at the open door of the vehicle.

Lila ran down the stairs followed by her husband and got into the vehicle to see the LCD screen of the car show Lila and Nathaniel's friends in front of the camera waving at her.

"Hey Lila!" All chanted at the same time, then on the corner, Rose squinted her eyes noticing something behind Lila.

"Where's Nath?" Rose asked, afterward Nathaniel entered the vehicle sitting next to Lila. "Oh, there he is!"

"Surprise!"

"What's going on?" Nathaniel asked looking at Lila, who shrugged her shoulders.

"The Rossi's told us how much it would mean to Lila to have a party after the ceremony and they asked us, if we could be present and make one" Rose told the group. "We….uhm Adrien and Luka arranged a few friends to play as the band in the evening. Marinette and Alya are responsible for the catering and the rest you will see at the party"

"I can't believe you all doing this for us" Lila gushed amazed by the idea. "Thank you so much"

"When will you come?" Kagami asked looking up over Luka's shoulder. "You two are missing the best part of the party"

"We'll be leaving. We're waiting for our parents" The brunette responded.

"Hurry up or you'll will miss our new song" Ivan shouted earning a thumb up from the couple.

"We will" Nathaniel answered putting the seatbelt on along with Lila, then watched their parents head towards the SUV.

In the evening Nathaniel sat along with his wife and their friends on a table watching Luka with his band playing for the people. Nathaniel was recording the band, next to him sat Lila listening to the girls on the table talking.

"I haven't listed down any names yet cause I'm not sure, if it's going to be a girl or a boy" The half-Chinese girl explained the women at the table she was present.

"I and Ivan are making a list of girls and boy names. In the future, when we know, what we're expecting we discuss it together until we find the perfect one. Eventually, we can also decide after the birth. Maybe another name on the list would suit the baby better" Mylene added to the conversation. Lila watched Rose patting the belly of Marinette, which wasn't notable at the moment, then spoke to the woman with the long hair.

"How does it feel for you to be the first in the girl squad to be expecting the first child?" Lila questioned making Marinette shrug her shoulders.

"Fine, I guess" Marinette answered unsure. "I'm not really interested in being the first one thought"

"But when your baby is here, I wanna be the first one giving it a present!" Rose announced hugging the blue-haired woman.

"Hey I've meant to ask you this a few weeks ago, but how did Luka react to your the bun is in the oven line?" The Martinic descendant woman asked making the woman grin a little abashed.

"Simple, he….oh….." Marinette stopped as she was about to answer her best friend's question. "I did it normal"

"Alright and who of you else is planning to found a family?" Alya asked. "Nino and I are waiting until my formation is over and eventually find a job,"

"We're waiting for the results at the moment" Mylene answered.

"Work in progress" Lila added making Alya and Marinette chuckle. "What? It's the cleanest answer you can get"

"And you Kagami?" Rose asked gazing with her bluebell eyes at the Japanese woman.

"I'm in University like Alya. I and Adrien are going to take time for everything" The blue-haired girl answered earning a nod from the blonde.

"Sure, you three should finish university before thinking about a child. It's easier with learning" Marinette mentioned. "That's at least what some women and girls in my course used to say"

"Were there young moms at your course?" Juleka asked surprised.

"You know some teenage pregnancies"

"Okay" Juleka answered, then behind her appeared Ivan carrying a plate with meat and pliers, then grabbed a piece of meat, then gazed at Luka's sister.

"Do you want a filet or anything else?" Ivan offered and Juleka nodded, then received the filet on her dish, then Ivan continued to Rose and Marinette.

"Any one of you want some meat?" Ivan asked, then on the other side Alya gave the raven-haired man a thumb up.

"Give her an extra. She has to eat for two"

"Alya!" Marinette complained making her friend laugh.

"Rose, have you got more orange juice?" Nathaniel asked looking over at his childhood friend.

"I have to check" Rose answered getting up from the bench, walking the path of the park to the parking spots of the cars.

Nathaniel looked at Lila, which chuckled at the guests, then he placed his hand over hers, then earned the woman looking at his face.

"Are you excited about our honeymoon in Santorini?" Nathaniel asked earning a nod from the brunette.

"Yeah" Lila answered. "What about you?"

"Happy" Nathaniel answered. "Mostly, because you'll be there with me" Nathaniel admitted earning a smile from Lila, which leaned her forehead on Nathaniel's giving him a kiss on the lips.

"Hey Ivan, save the rarest beef you've got there" Kim asked lifting his arm up, earning a nod from the strong man.

"There are a couple of them in the icebox" Ivan responded with a wink, tricking the friend out, which chuckled at the man's answer.

"That's great, man," Kim said watching Ivan put a steak on his plate, moving to the next person.

"Have you got anyone, that drives you to the airport?" Adrien asked as he sat down next to his friend Nino.

"My family's chauffeur does it" Lila answered earning a nod from the blonde.

"Hey you two should bring him a license plate with his name on it, right…..Athanase?" The Vietnamese asked making a few around the table chuckle.

"I really don't understand, what's so funny on my middle names. They're normal" Adrien mentioned looking at Nino, which felt sorry about the reaction.

"Yeah. There are worse names out there like Akuma…..except it became now illegal in France because of the akuma attacks at the beginning of the time" Nino mentioned.

"Akuma is illegal in Japan, because it means devil and it's not appropriate to name people like that" Adrien's girlfriend explained earning a nod from Adrien.

"I've read weirder reasons for names getting rejected. In Argentina, a name got banned, just because many people were naming their kids like that" Nino added earning a nod from Kim, while cutting his chicken filet in pieces.
