A/N:
Sorry that it took long to post this chapter! I've been feeling kind of lazy.
Two years later
Gotham City
"Get up!" yelled the frustrated mother of none other than Roy Harper. Her son grunted as he refused to awake from his slumber and leave the couch he was so comfortable on. Sighing, the woman tugged on the blanket that covered her son, eventually pulling it off the couch, exposing Roy in his boxers.
He moaned as he rubbed his eyes before slowly sitting up. It was six am. "Fine, I'm awake," he grumbled, yawning.
His mother shook her head before sighing. "I'm going to go to the chapel."
"To get married?" he asked with a chuckle.
However, she wasn't amused. Rolling her eyes, she replied "You know I'm a wedding planner. One of my clients is obviously getting married and their marriage is today. I want you to come to help."
He groaned as he stretched his arms. Leaving his seat on the couch, he put on his pants. "Do I have to?" his voice like a young child.
She nodded.
At the chapel…
"Roy, your job will be is to unload all the boxes from the truck. There's food, tablecloth, cd's and other things that you have to be careful with. If anything breaks…" she told him, giving Roy I-better-not-find-anything-broken-or-else-you'll-be-in-big-trouble look.
He chuckled. "Relax. Nothing will."
He waved to her as she walked into the chapel. A sigh of relief escaped from his lips.
In the chapel…
"The wedding chapel is beautiful," Arella, the mother of the bride-to-be, commented to Maya (Roy's mother).
Maya smiled, pleased that she had picked the right chapel. "I'm glad that you think so."
Arella sighed, gazing around.
Maya gazed towards her, an expression of concern upon her face. "Something wrong?"
"This chapel reminds me of the chapel that my husband and I were married in. It was beautiful."
"Oh. I'm sure your husband likes this chapel as well."
She gazed towards the ground, her lips curving into a frown.
Maya grimaced. Did she offend her client? "I'm sorry."
Arella raised her head. "No, it's alright."
"What happened with your husband?" she blurted out.
"Let's just say that he wasn't a good man. He's dead now."
She nodded. "I'm divorced. My ex-husband is still alive and he still keeps in touch, for Roy's sake but I know how you feel."
Arella nodded in reply. "My daughter changed her mind and decided that she didn't want tulips. She wanted roses," she said, changing the subject.
"No, mother. I wanted lilies," Raven corrected as she entered the chapel.
Maya nodded as she left the chapel, motioning for the two to follow her. "Well, we can still get lilies if we hurry, so why don't you go with my son to the flower shop nearby? I'm afraid that my son doesn't know how lilies look like, so it's better if you go with him," she explained to Raven.
Raven nodded.
"He's right over there," she told her, pointing to Roy who was over by the truck. "Roy!"
Raven widened her eyes as he turned around, revealing who he was. She frowned.
Roy walked up to his mother, said his hello's to everyone, winking at Raven. His mother explained the situation.
He grinned. "I would be happy to go."
Maya smiled, thanking God that her son was being so understanding. She directed Arella to enter the chapel, wanting her opinion on the ice doves.
At the flower shop
"So, you're getting married?"
"Yup," Raven said flatly.
"Were you forced in an arranged marriage?"
She shook her head, expecting only such a question from him.
"Oh, so this is a love marriage."
She shook her head.
He seemed bewildered. "Then which one is it?"
"It's both. Robin and I met in college and he proposed to me and I said okay. Then my mom arranged the marriage."
"Oh."
"Robin is a great guy," Raven said with a smile.
A/N:
Sorry for the short chapter! Not much but I will have more on the next chapter.
This one wasn't so great. I apologize.
