(A/N: I don't own Van Helsing.)

Chapter Three

Liz woke up the next morning with a huge headache. There came a soft knock on the door and a strawberry blond head poked in.

"Are you feeling better?" it asked.

"Yes, Carl thank you. Did Van Helsing tell you about our little problem?" Liz asked trying to sit up. The pain in her head increased and the room began to spin. She laid back down and the pain slowed to a dull roar.

"Yes, and he has told Anna as well." Carl said.

"How is she?" Liz asked.

"She's a little stressed out about the wedding." Carl replied.

"This is just one more thing she needs to worry about." Liz said to herself.

Three days later, Liz was completely healed. The day of the wedding had arrived and Liz was thrilled it was finally Thanksgiving break. Five days of no school. Ali, Bri and Liz were all brides maid's in the wedding and were attempting to get into their dresses.

"Can't breathe." Bri said holding her stomach.

"I don't think you're supposed to." Ali said.

"Bri, you're in Ali's dress. That's why it doesn't fit." Liz replied pulling on the sleeves.

"Oh." Bri said. She and Ali quickly switched dressed.

"Anna better appreciate this. I hate dresses." Ali said.

"So do I. Could you get the buttons in the back?" Liz asked.

"Sure." Ali said walking over and buttoning Liz up.

The dresses were crimson with short sleeves and a square neck. It opened underneath to show a black petty coat. The dress had silver trim on it. The black petty coat also had a silver swirl design on it.

Soon the girls were waiting in line at the altar. They walked down the isle and Liz saw Van Helsing. He looked quite handsome in his all black attire. Carl stood at the head dressed in white robes. He was the one who was going to be performing the ceremony. The girls got into position and then they saw Anna come down the isle. She looked beautiful in her long white and silver gown. She had a tiara on her head with a vale over her face. She had small white rose buds in her hair. She was a vision of beauty.

The ceremony began with the candles flickering all around them and making the red jewels on the girls dresses shimmer along with the diamonds in Anna's dress. Carl opened his book and began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all gathered here today to see the joining of these two people in holy matrimony. If there is anyone who has a reason that these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Carl said. Utter silence.

"If anyone said yes I'd have to kill them." Liz mumbled.

"Can we help?" Bri mouthed to her. Liz smiled at her friend's sense of humor.

"Will you please take the lady's hand and repeat after me. With this ring…." Carl continued on throughout the ceremony till he finally got to the good part.

"Do you, Anna, take Gabriel Van Helsing as your lawfully wedded husband?" Carl asked.

Anna and Van Helsing looked each other in the eyes. "I do." she replied.

"Do you, Gabriel, take Anna Valerious to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Van Helsing replied.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Carl said closing the book.

Van Helsing smiled as he lifted Anna's vale. She smiled back at him. Van Helsing wrapped his arms around her as he passionately kissed Anna. They kissed till Carl cleared his throat. They pulled away smiling at each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Van Helsing." Carl said and everyone cheered. "Now, there is one more bit of business to tend to." Carl said and everyone stopped, slightly confused.

"Liz," Carl said turning toward her. Liz stepped forward. "Do you take Gabriel and Anna as your new adoptive parents?"

Liz stood there shocked, open mouthed. She blinked a couple times and turned to Ali and Bri. They were nodding their heads and telling her to say yes. Liz turned back and saw Van Helsing and Anna standing next to each other.

"Yes." she said smiling still in complete shock. She had parents! Real parents! Not like the ones she had now. She walked over and hugged Anna and Van Helsing joined in. "This is the happiest day of my life!" Liz said smiling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you the Van Helsings." Carl said smiling. The three turned around smiling.

The reception was extremely fun. The first dance was quite a sight. Van Helsing had never looked happier. Neither had Anna. After that was a father daughter dance. Liz enjoyed that and had no problem calling Van Helsing 'dad.' He was the only real father she ever knew. However, she would still call him Van Helsing out of old habit.

"Do you know what this means?" Ali asked turning to Bri.

"What?"

"Since you are a descendent of Velkan, you and Liz are now related."

"Great." Bri said not sounding happy.

Ali laughed. "Don't worry, it won't be so bad."

"At least I'm not related to Carl." Bri mumbled.

Suddenly, there came a howl from outside. Anna, Van Helsing and Liz turned to Carl.

"They are in the carriage." he mumbled and the family rushed out of the room.

"We're coming too!" Bri shouted as they ran after them.

"Don't you think I knew that already?" Liz shouted back to them smiling.
