Author Notes: I didn't write a birthing scene, for one because I did one in Homecoming for Liesl, and it would be pretty much the same thing. I hope you enjoy it anyways :) Please click the lil blue box and let me know what you think of my story!
Exactly one week since the day Victor and Victoria were born, Maria had
a darling little girl. Isabell was excited to have a little girl to
play with, and Johannes just stared in wonder, since he had not seen a
newborn baby yet. I was unable to visit anyone until this day, and he
hadn't seen Victor or Victoria yet.
Maria and Georg decided on the name Amelia, Millie for short.
Just one day the week after Maria had her baby, Eliza had a boy. She
and Henry decided on the name Jimmy. At times, it seemed we had a house
full of babies, and Liesl's was yet to come. The day finally arrived, a
week until the wedding and a few days over a week from Eliza's baby.
Liesl and Rolfe choose the name Jessica, after Rolfe's mother.

Liesl and Rolfe choose the name Jessica, after Rolfe's mother. We all
had lovely little frilly dresses for our girls, and handsome little
suites for the boys, but Maria had the most beautiful dress for Millie.
I asked how she made it, and it turns out she was cleaning out her
sewing room, and used little bits of lace, ribbons, and silk that she
had collected over the years.
Everyone had already decided that the babies must be there at the
wedding. If one of them started crying, we would have to step out and
calm the baby. The person would still be able to watch through a window
into the sanctuary.
The wedding day was soon here, and all was ready. Louisa was wearing
Maria and Liesl's wedding dress. She had a lovely figure, and there was
very little need to let out the seams or to add any darts. We did have
to let out the seam about an inch, since Louisa was taller. It would be
cool inside the church, so the sleeves wouldn't matter. Hopefully it
wouldn't get too hot. Louisa had chosen her younger siblings as
bridesmaids, Isabell was flower girl, and little Johannes was going to
be the ring bearer. Lucy had no living relations except her
grandmother, so she had no one to add to the list. Louisa had asked
Briggitta to be the Maid of Honor, so Briggitta decided to overcome her
shyness and accepted.

Eliza, Maria, Liesl and I - plus the bridesmaids and Maid of Honor -
were helping Louisa and Lucy get dressed.
Maria commented with amazement at the sight of Louisa, in the wedding
dress and veil. "It's so amazing that my dress has lasted so long!"
Louisa smiled, "I wouldn't be surprised, Mother. Anything you make is
bound to last a long time."
"I hope the dress you made me, Mrs. von Trapp, will last just that
long," Lucy said with a smile.
"You will have to start calling me Mother soon, Lucy." Maria replies,
beaming.
The wedding was over what seemed minutes after it began. It was
wonderful to see the love in each persons face as they said, "I do."
I realize how lucky I am to be a part of such a lovely family. This
family will forever be remembered, even if only among their relations,
and I am happy to be a part of it.

Author note: Of course, Jessica was really named after me and my beta ;) I just couldn't come up with anymore names!
Many thanks to all the people who helped beta my story: Vanessa, Jess 3, Christina Sheffield, and all those countless people who I asked about my story. :) Many thanks to all my faithful reviewers, who continued to support me throughout my stories, and the readers who have faithfully read them, even those who may not have reviewed. I do hope each and everyone one of you enjoyed reading my story just as much as I did writing it. It brings a tear to my eye thinking that the story is closed. I could write a whole series about it! I have a special place in my heart for my stories, and my characters, so maybe someday they will return ~.~ Please, please, please review so I can leave for my vacation happy ;)
