Summary: Aurora is in college, spending only her weekends and vacations in Crystal Springs. After since Andros' reunion with his children, Blaecleah kept quiet, but peace never lasts for long.

Necroblade: At first I was thinking of letting it be an honest mistake of a drunk driver, but I changed my mind. You'll find out what were his motives as soon as Phantom helps me with two of my new characters. :P I just heard I'll be retaking my test August 31, will you root for me?

Juzblue: I know, Jenny does so too, even though she doesn't want to admit it! Ah, yeah, the turning into electricity, you'll find out more about that someday.

DizneeDol: YAY! You loved it! I'm so happy now!

Jenny: Ah yes, you again. Luckily your review was much smaller this time! So you want more of a response? Well, I couldn't really respond to the wedding dress babbling other than what I did, since I talk to you too you know, that helps with getting messages over. Oh and about that wedding babbling, I did explain it again to you, but I'll do it again for the readers. You are going to marry Wes Collins on Aquitar. I was going to be maid of honour. Rosa was flower girl, cause that fits her name so beautifully and Melissa can be priest. After the wedding I'll go live on KO-35 and you'll travel time with Wes as a honeymoon, leaving your first born on a newly founded KO-35 to be the ancestor of Andros and Karone. Okay, so now we've got that worked out, I'll go on with the reply to the next review so I can update, but you'll read this only after I updated, so that doesn't mean so much to you. (Happy with the length of the response now?)

TrueRomantic: Yeah, poor Ray, maybe being fatherless did something to his mind or he indeed got some bad food at his friend's or… Nah, let's not go there, that would ruin the surprise. So life hasn't been that easy for Ashley. Making Ashley suffer is fun, for than Andros can comfort her, supplying the story with many A/A moments to keep the A/A-shippers like me happy. (Yes, I read my own stories when I'm bored.) Ah, another person wishing me luck while being safely on another continent, though even the distance between Europe and the US doesn't seem to comfort Jenny enough to wish me luck and hope I pass. I have to admit that on my birthday every time a review with a birthday wish entered my mailbox, this big cheesy smile appeared on my face. It made me feel loved and more special than any of the other presents I got. Also the stories placed on as a birthday present really touched me. Okay, why Demon is called Demon. I was talking to Jenny once and she asked me where I lived so I told her the dump next to the incinerator (or was it a hell hole?). So she told me she lived there too, maybe we were neighbours. Then she said she saw a demon run by and asked if it was my. I told her no, but it might be my brother and he and all the siblings of Jenny and Rosa (Melissa too I believe) are now addressed as demon if we talk about them. Demon never did anything bad, he just doesn't know the meaning of the word 'NO' when I don't want him to bug me and that's very annoying, but I love him all the same. Okay, so the appearance of Tommy and Kimberly is briefer than I planned, but there'll be more of them soon. Promise. (Don't get mad at the long reply Jenny. Please don't kill me!)

Ghostwriter: You don't need to wait long, I'm being little miss speed writer right now according to Jenny.

Arwennicole: I always try to update soon. This is the wedding chapter, see if the description worked out good enough, if not, blame Jenny.

The-power-of-love: For you, always. :P

Phantom Rogue: No review, no chapters, no e-mail! WHERE ARE YOU!

It Was Just The Beginning

Chapter 10

Aurora looked around, unsure of her surroundings. She seemed to be somewhere familiar, but she couldn't place it. Trees, a forest, light streaming into a clearing, birds chirping merrily… but where? And how had she gotten here?

The sound of laughter caught her attention and she tentatively moved to see where it came from. Her eyes widened when she caught sight of what looked like a wedding ceremony - a very familiar wedding ceremony. But that couldn't be. THAT wedding was over 4 months ago… and how could her mother look pregnant while Ciana was already a month old?

Her head started to spin with questions. What was going on?

She watched everyone settle down and caught sight of herself sitting down next to her mother. She smiled a little when she saw the groom shift nervously at the makeshift altar. The best man was obviously enjoying the sight of his friend so nervous too.

She suddenly wished she was part of it again, not looking from the cover of these bushes, but sitting there, next to her mother enjoying the wedding and imagining herself walking down the isle with Mack nervously waiting for her at the end. Of course she was realistic enough to know it might not be Mack standing at the end, but it was still nice just imagining it.

Just then the music started and she watched the bridesmaids and the maid of honour walk up to the altar. Once they had reached the end of the isle and had taken a step aside, the famous march began to play and the bride started to make her way down the isle. Aurora smiled again.

For her spot in the crowd she hadn't been able to see it, but it was obvious the bride only had eyes for her groom. She truly looked beautiful in that dress, though no one had expected her to wear one.

The design was simple, but still elegant with a floor length full skirt that flowed down smoothly, and pooled in a small train at the back. The top was an a-line tank with a scoop neck and back, beaded with pearl-like beads that extended into a design on her skirt. Her hair was let down in soft curls, light bouncing off the light-coloured waves, her veil was gauzy, foamy, and bounced around her shoulders, attached to a sparkling tiara set on her styled hair. Her wedding bouquet was yellow, red; lilies, roses, and tied with a silky ribbon, held gently in the glowing bride's hands.

Slowly but surely she reached the end of the isle. Giving her bouquet to the maid of honour, she turned to her future husband. Just two small words and he would be hers forever. He took her hand and they turned to the priest. He smiled at them and began the vows.

"Do you Conner McKnight take Kira Ford to be your wife – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live? "

"I do," Conner replied with a shaking voice.

"And do you Kira Ford take Conner McKnight to be your husband – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?"

"I do," the young singer spoke, her smile radiant with joy.

"What token of your love do you offer? Would you place the rings in my hand? May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go – may they always return to one another. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women year. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be such a place that many will find there a friend. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the touch of the spirit of love in their hearts. Conner, in placing this ring on Kira's finger, repeat after me: Kira, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed."

"Kira, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed." Conner said, stumbling over the words.

"Kira, in placing this ring on Conner's finger, repeat after me: Conner, you are now consecrate to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed."

"Conner, you are now consecrate to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed."

As the priest continued his talk, Aurora looked around the crowd of people gathered. She soon spotted Kimberly and Tommy at the front row. Sam and Tamara were sitting next to them. Little Lucy sat on Sam's lap under the watchful eye of Tommy, who was ready to save the kid the moment something was out of the odds.

Not far from them Trent was holding his one month old son Roger, who looked like he was about to cry. If she remembered correctly, that was indeed the next thing the baby boy would do.

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest spoke.

Conner didn't need to be told twice, happy it was finally over and Kira was now Mrs. Conner McKnight. Over the applauding she could hear Roger's cries, soon to be joined by Lucy's.

Aurora laughed softly, thinking of her own baby sister. Ciana was a sweet baby, never fussing unless it was absolutely necessary, like when she needed a clean diaper or food. She knew Roger and Lucy were a hell lot more of a handful for their parents. She wouldn't be surprised if it would take a while before they'd be joined by siblings.

"Aurora." A voice close behind her said, startling her into turning around.
