Chapter Nineteen
The day of the wedding arrived at last. Spot and Singah were on opposite sides of the church preparing for the ceremony. Fidget and Fastdancer were helping Singah get ready; in the refectory, Jack and Trolley helped Spot do the same. Both were nervous, but filled with excitement.
Soon, Jack was leading Singah down the aisle. Spot waited at the altar with Trolley at his side. –She's beautiful- he thought. Jack and Singah reached the end of the aisle, and Jack kissed her on the cheek before sitting in the front pew. The priest began to speak, and soon the couple exchanged vows. Spot took the ring and put it on Singah's finger, with the heart pointing toward her, signifying she was married. He lifted her veil and kissed her. The organ began playing, and the newlyweds walked back down the aisle to the reception, amidst cheers and applause.
At the reception, there was food, dancing, and music provided by Medda. Spot and Singah had the customary first dance, and then all the other newsies joined in. After a while, the couple cut the cake, and fed each other. After all the newsies had gotten their cake, Spot signaled for the music to stop for a minute and for everyone's attention. "Hey everybody- me and Singah got an announcement ta make!"
Once everyone was paying attention, he pulled Singah to her feet. He whispered, "Do you wanna tell 'em or should I?"
"I'll do it." She turned to face the assembled people. "Well, I'm pregnant. Again." A moment of hush followed, to be interrupted by Racetrack yelling, "Auguri! Congratulations!" With that, the room broke into loud applause. Everyone clapped Spot and the back and hugged Singah, who blushed.
Jack yelled, "Hey Spot- if it's a boy name it aftah me!"
"Nah, we wouldn't wanna burden the kid- mental scarring!" Spot joked.
"So whaddaya gonna name it then?" Fast wanted to know. Singah answered, "Fer a boy, Michael, and for a girl, Maire." All the girls sighed… the names were so pretty and they were jealous of Singah- she got married and they didn't. But they were all happy with their boyfriends… Fast was dancing with Jack, Fidget with Trolley. It was the best day in anyone's memory; thoughts of Blink were far from everyone's mind. But they were in his thoughts- and they weren't faring well in his mind.
