Chapter 32: Our life can begin.
CPOV:
I stand in the mirror in a daze looking at myself. I have on a strapless emerald green wedding gown. The top bust part is covered in tiny crystals that form random beautiful swirled designs, and the rest of the gown flowed outward covering my baby bump nicely. It fits perfectly to my body and I couldn't help but smile. Magnus put my hair in spiral curls, french twisting the sides to pull and clip in the back of my head keeping hair out of my face. He topped off the look with a crystal chain crown that had a teardrop shaped crystal in the center of my forehead. My makeup was light just the way I liked it. But with silver eye shadow and pink lipstick.
I wondered idly what would my mother have said if she was still alive to see me right now. Would she be proud of me? Would she have approved of me getting married at eighteen? Would she want to be there for me to cry about how happy I am and gush about how beautiful I looked? Would she want to feel her grandchildren kick me when they wanted to hear Luke's voice or when they were restless? Deep in thought I didn't even hear Jon come in.
"Damn! Where is my baby sister?! There is a sexy pregnant woman smiling in the mirror." He winked at me strolling towards me. "Are you ready for this?"
I sighed nodding my head and turning around to face him. "I am."
"You know it's not too late to back out. My car is outback and I can get us a chartered plane to anywhere you want." He smirked eyes dancing with amusement.
"No!" I laughed. "I want this. I've never been so sure of anything in my life."
"Even if he is ten years older than you?" Jon asks cocking an eyebrow at me.
"Especially since he is ten years older than me." I laugh.
"Well come on then. Let's get my favorite girl in the world married." Jon grabs my hand and we stroll towards the door.
"Shouldn't that be Izzy? Since you guys are shaking up? I don't know how else to put it." I giggled as we made our way to the glass doors that leads to the aisle. Two guys dressed in white suites were holding on to the nobs of the doors waiting for my cue. I smiled politely.
"Izzy know's that your family and if something happens you matter over everyone else. I know it's not the same for you but-"
"Jon you are always family and your just as important as Luke and the kids." The music starts playing and the two gentlemen open the glass doors.
"Good because I have a surprise for you." He whispers just as every head turns towards us.
"Don't let me fall Job." I whisper back scanning all the smiling faces.
"I'll never let you fall Clary." Jon whispered back as we started down the aisle.
The day we met, frozen I held my breath.
Right from the start I knew that I found a home for my heart,
Beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave,
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall,
Watching you stand alone.
All of my doubts suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer.
My eyes locked on Luke's and I felt every fiber of my being come alive. He looked so handsome in his black suite with emerald green bowtie to match my dress. He had his glasses on and he smiled brightly at me. His hands held behind his back and his eyes twinkling with love.
I have died everyday waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more.
Luke know's how much I love this song and how I told him I wanted to come down the aisle to this song. I didn't know he would actually pull it off. We finally get a few steps from the first row of chairs and Luke hand's come from behind his back and he holds a microphone to his lips and my breath catches. My heart skips a beat with what's to come. My fantasy is coming true.
Time stands still
Beauty and all she is.
I will be brave, I will not let anything take away,
What's standing in front of me!
Every breath, every hour has come to this.
One step closer.
Tears start rimming the bottom of my eyes and I couldn't help but be moved at what he was doing for me. One step closer to the love of my life.
I have died everyday waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more.
Jon places one of my hands into Luke's and pushes a microphone in the other. I look into Luke's eyes and see him smiling down at me. I take a deep breath and join him.
And all along I believed I would found you,
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you, for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand moooorrrrreeee!
Ooooohhh x2
I'll love you for a thousand moooorrrreee!
Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
One step closer.
I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.
And all along I believed I would find you,
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you, for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more.
As we took a breath and the music played in the background we stared at each other full of love and joy. Finally after all we've been through we stand before each other in the presence of our family, friends, and God to be joined together as one. The tears fell down my face and Luke reached up and brushed them away.
"Your so beautiful."
LPOV:
Staring at Clary and singing my heart out I couldn't help but admire how beautiful she loved dolled up and round with our children.
"Your so beautiful." I whispered to her. As Magnus grabs the mic from her hand and places mic back on the stand next to us. A throat clearing brings us back to reality.
"Are we ready to conduct the wedding?" Jon ask from his spot as our officiant.
"Your doing my wedding?!" Clary whispers.
"Surprise!" Jon whispers back clearing his throat and addressing the crowd.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join this Man and this Woman together in Holy matrimony. We gives this bride to be wed." I slightly panicked. I forgot that part of the wedding. If I remembered I would have gotten a real preacher.
"I do." I snapped my head to the left where Isabelle was sitting in a wheelchair holding her hand in the air. "I do on behalf of her brother, and me her best friend." She winked at us and I couldn't help but smile back nodding my head in thanks. I turned my attention back to Clary as Jon continued on.
"Marriage is a beautiful thing. It's a commitment between the two people involved that they are ready to take the next steps to tie their lives together for the rest of their lives. I am so honored to be here to witness and to lead my sister Clarissa and my long time friend that is practically family, Lucian into the next steps." He smiled brightly at the both of us. "Now the couple will exchange their personal vows. Lucian you may go first."
I took a deep breath. I didn't bother writing vows because I wanted it to come from the heart. "Clarissa, I knew from the moment I saw your beautiful green eyes that I wanted to be everything and anything you needed. I loved you from the first day I saw you, from the day your eyes connected to mine. From the day I held you until you fell asleep in my arms, from the day you said hello and every day since then I have loved you. My mother always told me that saying I do meant saying I will. I will love you even on the days I don't like you that much. I will think less of what I want and more of what you want. I will laugh with you and not at you. I will support you in everything life throws at us. I will respect you always. I will stand by you no matter what happens, no matter where life takes us. I will be growing old with you watching our children and our grandchildren enjoy their lives together. I love you Clary and I will love you until the end of time." I take a breath clearing my throat as Jon handed Clary and I a tissue.
"Clarissa, your vows please."
"Lucian, Luke, from the moment I saw you I knew you were my knight riding into save me. I knew that one day I will be saying I love you, and marrying you. I love you means I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means I do not expect perfection from you-just as you do not expect it from me. It means I will love you unconditionally and stand by you even in the worse of times. It means loving you even when you are in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things that I want to do. It means loving you when you are down- not just when you're fun to be around. I love you means I know your deepest secrets and I don't judge you for it but ask in return that you don't judge me for mine. It means I care enough to fight for what we have, and love you enough not to let this go. It means thinking of only you, dreaming of only you, wanting and needing only you constantly, and knowing you feel the same for me. I love you Lucian Greymark, and I will love you until the end of time." I smiled at her through my tears and she smiled back at me. I love her more than anything in the world.
CPOV:
"That was so beautiful." Jon said addressing us and the crowd. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a female wedding band. "Lucian if you will please." Luke grab the silver wedding band and held it to my finger.
"With this ring I wed thee." He place the ring under my engagement ring and I grabbed the ring that was meant for Luke.
"Clarissa if you will please." I took a deep breath and place the ring at the beginning of Luke's finger.
"With this ring I wed thee."
"What God has joined together let no man tear apart. Lucian, Clarissa by the power vested in me by the state of New York I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss your bride."
"Finally…" Luke murmured before crashing his lips to mine. He kissed me passionately and I kissed him back just as fierce as the gathering of our friends and family erupted in cheer. "May I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Lucian Greymark!"
Luke grabs my hand and we head down the aisle smiling from ear to ear. Suddenly my leg is wet I didn't pee on myself I know for a fact I didn't. I gasp and Luke looks down at me his eyes filled with concern.
"Baby what's wrong?"
"Your a few hours away from being a daddy." I said with a smile on my face. Truth be told I was scared.
"What?!" He shrieked.
"My water just broke." I whispered clutching my stomach with one hand and squeezing his hand with the other. Luke pulled my face towards his.
"Are you guys okay?" He asks loving nervous and I try my hardest to put on a brave face and just nod. "Alright come on, let's go have our babies."
Luke scoops me up in his arms and turns towards the crowd. "My wife's water just broke if you excuse you for the rush." He turned to Jon. "Jon we need to get to the hospital now." Jon runs down the aisle towards us with Jace, Jem, and Will hot on his trail. Luke starts to speed walk us towards Jon's car whispering sweet words to me over and over as the pain kept coming. This was going to be a long birth.
Well my lovely readers do much has happened in this one chapter. Luke and Clary finally tie the knot and her water just broke and we will soon meet those bundles of joy! Thank you for reading please review! One chapter left and then the epilogue. Until next time lovely readers!
