January 31st 1985
BPRD Headquarters
Hellboy Bruttenholm POV
It's the big day. Today I marry Midori Akira Amano and make her Midori Akira Bruttenholm nee Amano, as said by my little sister.
I go to the aisle and wait for her and watch as Rosie preforms her flower girl duties and prepares to sit down only for father to beckon her towards him. Harry comes next as the ring bearer. He does his duties well, and never misses a beat, coming towards me so he can pass me the rings when ready.
And then, I see Midori in the most beautiful dress ever, walking down the aisle towards me. And I know I am the luckiest man alive to be marrying Midori Akira Amano.
Rosalinda says of course I am as Midori is the most beautiful woman in the world. From the mouths of babes to my ears. How I wish she would have said something nicer. Then I see Rosie's smirk and I tickle her as punishment for teasing me.
Rosie laughs and surrenders for teasing me. Then, the next thing I know, Midori is next to me, saving Rosie and finding my tickle spots.
Midori and I marry and Rosie and Harry have to move out now, but only to a connected room, but for now they'll spend the night with father. After all, Midori and I need our honeymoon week.
A week later
Midori Bruttenholm POV
As soon as the honeymoon's over with my otōto and imōto come to see us and hug me.
"Midori-o-nee-san! We wanted to see you and big brother but they wouldn't let us." my otōto Harry says. My imōto Rosie nods and pouts, sad that Hellboy didn't read to her no doubt.
"Imōto Rosie, Otōto Harry, we needed a little bit of time to ourself as it was adult stuff we were talking about." I say and my otōto and imōto are soothed by that. As long as they are allowed back into the room.
I don't want to tell them that they will need to room elsewhere. That was until I heard what Hellboy did, threw such a hissy fit, we get new quarters for the us and our otōto and imōto. They will have rooms essentially in the room with doors that block out the sounds when Hellboy and I are together.
Too bad imōto Rosie never told her from the get go about that witch, Liz was doing. He should have been told from the start as he would have believed his imōto, not that wench.
I started to sing to them.
"Mamoru beki mono nante nayamu made mo naku
Hitotsu shika nakatta
Sakebigoe no kodama muna shika hibiita
Fukai mori no oku ni
Namida o koraerareta riyuu wa
Kasareta yubi no nukumori no sei
Kimi ga inai mirai imi nado nai mirai
Nido to hanashitari wa shinai kara
Kimi to nozomu sekai mita koto nai sekai
Jikuu o koete haruka tabi suru bokura
Shinjitsu no utagoe yami ni hibikasete
Hitotsu mune ni chikau
Todomaru koto wa nai arashi no naka de mo
Kowa no rakuen made
Horobiru koto shiranai tamashii
Meguri meguru sadameta to shite mo
Kimi to kakeru katai kono sekai no hate mo
Nido to kurikaeri wa shinai kara
Kimi to naraba yukeru hashiru mugen kidou
Owaranai yume yagate tadoritsukeru sa
Kimi ga inai mirai
Imi nado nai mirai
Nido to hanashitari wa shinai kara
Kimi to nozomu sekai mita koto nai sekai
Jikuu o koete haruka tabi suru bokura
Jikuu o koete haruka tabi suru bokura" I sing.
Imōto Rosie and Otōto Harry ask for another song.
"Kokoro no naka no JIORAMA no machi wa
kibou no Hikari de kirameite iru
kagerou no hane de habataita yume wa
kimi to boku to no sagashimono
shinjitsu wa itsumo
Hitomi ni hisonde iru aoku
bokura wa doko made yukou
futari no mirai ima sasuratte
bokura wa tabi o tsuzukeru
eien no arika owari nai yume
kono te o hanasazu oikakete ikitai
zutto
TAAKOIZU iro no kokoro no umi de
hikari no fune no aizu ga kikoeru

kotoba ni hisonde iru amaku
futari de hitotsu ni narou
okubyou na nami no ho mo dakishimete
bokura wa tabi o tsuzukeru

futari no mirai ima sasuratte
bokura wa tabi o tsuzukeru
eien no arika owari nai yume
kono te o hanasazu oikakete ikitai zutto." I sang.
Hellboy claps as he loves to hear my singing voice and seeing me singing to Otōto Harry and Imōto Rosie has him happy. I can see that.
"I can't wait until we have our own, and then you can sing them all to sleep. Imōto Rosie, Otōto Harry, and our children." Hellboy says.
"So impatient Watashi no ai. We will have little ones no doubt about that Watashi no ai. But be patient." I speak.
Hellboy POV
"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus, mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!" I recite to Midori before reciting another poem to her.
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd." I recite.
"Night is over the park, and a few brave stars
Look on the lights that link it with chains of gold,
The lake bears up their reflection in broken bars
That seem too heavy for tremulous water to hold.
We watch the swans that sleep in a shadowy place,
And now and again one wakes and uplifts its head;
How still you are—your gaze is on my face—
We watch the swans and never a word is said." Midori recites and I kiss her hungrily on the lips.
