-Restless-
"You're fidgeting," Rei whispered.
Ami took a deep breath and released it. Her chest felt heavy and butterflies fluttered in her stomach. She tried to still her hands but within moments she was wringing them again.
"I can't help it," she whispered over her shoulder to Rei. "I'm so nervous," she finally admitted out loud. "And scared."
Rei quirked an eyebrow. "Why are you scared?"
Ami took another deep breath and released it slowly. She swore her heart was about to hammer out of her chest. "This didn't exactly work out for my mother. What if I make the same mistakes?"
"You are not your mother," Rei said reassuringly, placing her hands on Ami's shoulders and giving them a gentle squeeze. "And you're not your father for that matter, either."
Ami took another deep, slow breath and released it. Was it cold in here or was it just her? The bluenette looked before her and saw Minako standing opposite of her, a few feet back. The blond smiled at Ami and gave her a thumbs up. Ami began to shake.
"What if-"
"No," Rei said gently but forcefully.
Ami took another deep breath just as the wedding march began to play. Ami's head snapped up as the double doors on the opposite end of the church swung open. Ami's breath caught as Usagi, her arm looped around Makoto's, began to walk down the isle.
Though Usagi was often a vision in most of her formal dresses, she paled in comparison to Makoto with her long, flowing gown. Her auburn hair was down and styled into ringlets that framed her face. Shy emerald eyes glanced up at Ami and a happy smile spread across the Amazon's face.
In that moment, Ami never felt more calm and sure.
AN: In case it wasn't clear, Usagi was walking Mako down the isle :D
