Peter rushed to the fairies trees. Forgetting all manners he jumped in and
stood before the King and Queen.
"Peter!" they gasped.
"I wish to be married." He said proudly.
"Married? Why?" the King asked.
"I wish to give Moria a baby. To show her I love her." Peter said.
"A baby?" the Queen questioned.
"Yes." Peter said.
"Do you think Neverland will allow a baby to be born?" the King asked.
"Tigerlilly is having one." Peter said. A long silence set in. He knew that the King and Queen knew of all his doings with Moria. They had to know how much he loved her. They had to allow it.
"I wish to give Moria a baby. I wish to be her husband. I wish... to... to love her for all time." Peter said almost pleading with them. He'd never begged in his life. But he knew he was now.
The King and Queen whispered to each other. Peter could not hear what they were saying but he knew they were speaking in the fairy tongue. He heard chimes and jingles. Then they looked back at him.
"If Moria agrees we'll set up a wedding." The Queen said. Peter lit up.
"Thank you! Thank you so much." He said with overwhelming joy.
Then he took off to find Moria.

He could almost envision the ceremony. He knew exactly how he wished to dress Moria. He jumped into the home and yelled for her. She rounded the corner with a worried expression.
"What is it Peter?" she asked with concern. He rushed to her.
"Marry me." He said. She looked shocked.
"What?" she asked.
"Marry me. Be my wife." He said.
"Peter..." she began.
"Please Moria. I want to love you forever. I want to be your husband. I want to give you a baby and start a family."
"A baby?" she asked with joy and shock.
"Tigerlilly told me of babies." He said with excitement. "Of how they are a father's gift to a mother and how they grow in the mother till they're born so they are safe." He said. "So told me of weddings. How the husband dresses the wife and the wife dresses the husband."
Moria glowed.
"The fairy King and Queen agreed to a wedding... as long as you agree to marry me." He said. She saw the joy in his eyes.
"You know this isn't a game Peter." She said trying not to ruin his moment but trying to be serious.
"I know." He said. "I'm tired of games. I'm sick of make believe." He added. "I'm ready to do this. I want to do this for you."
"For me?" she asked.
"All girls want big weddings and cute babies." He said.
"Oh Peter I..." she began.
"I love you Moria." He said holding her by the shoulders. "I want to marry you... and have a family." He said.
"We have a family Peter." She said.
"But none of them are ours." He protested.
Moria looked into his eyes and saw how sincere he was. She saw the love that she'd always had for him in his eyes staring back at her. She smiled.
"Okay Peter."
"Okay?" he asked.
"Yes." She said with joy. "Yes I will marry you."
Peter lit up and crowed like a rooster. She laughed with pure excitement.
"I must tell the King and Queen." A huge smile graced his perfect face. "I'll be back before dinner's through cooking. I'll bring the biggest fest ever." He said.
He started to leave but Moria pulled him back into a kiss. She smiled against his lips.
"I love you Peter." She said looking into his eyes. His smile grew.
"I love you too Moria." Then he left the house.
"Peter!" they gasped.
"I wish to be married." He said proudly.
"Married? Why?" the King asked.
"I wish to give Moria a baby. To show her I love her." Peter said.
