It was finally April, and the day of Antoinette's and James' wedding. I had grown tremendously, almost three times as big as I was when I announced my pregnancy, and was very anxious to get the twins out.
As I sat next to Cutler in the front pew, I noticed Rayanna and Jack walk in. Rayanna, Antoinette, and I had all convinced James and Cutler to let Jack and Rayanna go to the wedding. They agreed, on one condition; Jack was to stand in the back next to some navy officers.
I got up, walked over to where her and Jack were standing, and hugged the both of them. How I missed my friend! "Oh, Rayanna!" I cooed to her, "You've got a glow!"
"You do too!" She said, smiling. "And I should! Jack and I are expecting!"
My jaw dropped. "Are you serious?!?!!" I looked at her stomach, and saw that her shirt was a little tight. Defiantly a baby bump! I could barley keep myself from jumping up and down. "Oh! Congratulations! When are you due?"
"This January!"
I was about to say something else, when I saw James standing in front of the alter. He was wearing a marvelous cream colored outfit made from silk.
"I guess we had better set back down, Mrs. Sparrow," I said, as I walked back to the pew I had be sitting in before, Rayanna following me. We got up to our pew, and I sat in between Rayanna and Cutler as I heard the organ start to play. Everyone turned, and saw Antoinette, who looked extraordinary in the spotlight of attention.
Antoinette was wearing a white silk wedding dress with beads embroidered into the top and bottom part of it, a long train, and a beautiful matching veil that covered most of her backside. The music stopped.
"Dearly beloved," the preacher started as Antoinette stood up by James at the alter, "to join in holy matrimony Commodore James Norrington, and Antoinette Davenport." He then turned to James and said, "Do you, James Norrington, take Miss Davenport to be your lawfully wedded wife? Through sickness and in health, through good times and bad, until death do you part?"
James looked into his lovely brides eyes, and said, "I do."
"And do you, Antoinette Davenport," the preacher continued, "take James Norrington to be your lawfully wedded husband? Through sickness and in health, through good times and bad, until death do you part?"
Antoinette looked into James' deep green eyes. "I do," She croaked out between tears.
"And now, if you would please give each other your rings," said the preacher. James and Antoinette each took out the rings, and placed them on each other's ring fingers. "Ladies and Gentlemen," the preacher said dramatically, "these rings are taken by these two as a token of love and appreciation from the person who bought it, to the person it was given to. I now bind Mr. and Mrs. Norrington's marriage. James, you may kiss your wife."
James and Antoinette fell on each other, and gave the most passionate kiss that they could muster. Everyone in the church stood up, and cheered for Port Royal's new couple. As I stood up and started to clap, I felt a sharp pain in my lower torso. I instantly knew what it was. "Rayanna, Cutler!" I said, pulling them in close to me, "The twins are coming. For real this time." Cutler jumped up, and helped Rayanna and I both up. We were walking back to the door, when we heard Antoinette behind us.
"Where are you three going?" She asked. "The wedding's not over!"
"The twins are coming!" Cutler yelled after them. James and Antoinette looked at each other, and then went after us, Jack behind them.
