Here is a new, short chapter of my story. Have fun. See part 1 for disclaimer.
Part 36
Sunday was the large day for Stephen. He was a nerve wreck. Marcus and John tried everything to quiet him.
Tamara on the contrary was the quiet in person. Susan and Delenn helped her with the dress.
Then Susan and Delenn finished the babies for their baptisms. Delenn put David in a traditional wrap of the minbari, since he was a part minbari, even if you couldn't see it at the moment.
Susan put Sophia and Alex in a white dress. They looked now still more cutely.
Stephen and Tamara had selected Susan and Marcus as their witnesses.
When it was time for the wedding, Susan gave heavy hearted her babies in the care of Delenn and Lise. It doesn't look like Michael liked the babies very much but Lise was totally infatuated in them.
The wedding proceeded without incidents. Stephen was so nervous he almost forgot to say "yes". Marcus had to push him in the ribs, so he was reminded.
Then the baptism was celebrated. First brother Theo baptized David Sheridan. Susan and Lennier were the godparents. As the monk poured the water over David bald head, he began to weep. Delenn quieted him immediately with soft minbari - words. Susan recognized that it was an old prayer of the religious caste, which had his roots in the time of Valen. It sounded like a kind of the 'Lord's Prayer'.
Marcus and Susan had decided for two different pairings for the godparents. The godparents of Sophia should become Delenn and Michael, the godparents of Alexander should be Delenn and John.
Sophia and Alex could not be disturbed in their nap by the baptism. They didn't begin to weep as brother Theo poured the water over their head.
After the rituals all loaded guests went to a reception in 'Earthers'.
About two hours later the newly-weds left the party. Tamara drew the bouquet which Lise caught.
She grinned at Michael, however he did not react.
The young parents left the party early, since they had to worry about their children.
Marcus and Susan had decided to fly back to Minbar in the middle of the next week. They had left alone Tilaan long enough. It was the time that Marcus and Susan took care of their new tasks. Even if Marcus insisted on it that Susan took it easy for the next weeks…
That was a short one. Just the epilogue is missing. Hope you enjoyed reading it.
