Proposal
Andy and Tidal walked through the rather large park, holding hands, and laughing at every random thing that they said to each other. Suddenly, as Tidal always describes it now, a wild park bench appeared and they sat on it. After a couple of minutes of silence, Andy stood up and took something out of his pocket, but didn't let Tidal see.
"Andy, what are you doing?" She asked, confusion written all over her face. Andy knelt down on one knee, causing Tidal's hand to fly to her mouth and gasp in shock.
"Tidal, we've been dating, for, what, five years now, and as far as I'm aware, we're in love. You're the most important thing in the world to me as well as the best thing that's ever happened to me. You're so amazing and wonderful and so completely right for me. Will you marry me?" He asked, his big, pleading blue eyes hopeful. First thought in Tidal's mind: He's so adorable!
It was true. That was the first word that always came to her mind when confronted with Andy. He had kept his hair choppy and short and what-not. He had his lip piercing, his tattoos, and he still wore the eyeliner, but as far as Tidal was concerned it made him adorable.
Wait, he's waiting for an answer. Wow, I'm stupid, Tidal thought. She had been sidetracked so completely by the fact that Andy was adorable and now, his big smile was waning.
"It's okay. I understand." He said, looking down at the ground and taking the ring out from behind his back.
"I'm sorry, Andy, I got distracted. Of course I'll marry you!" She screamed, getting down on her knees and wrapping her arms around his neck. He smiled even bigger and pulled back. She held out her left hand and he put the ring on her ring finger.
They walked into the park that day boyfriend and girlfriend, but they left an engaged couple, happier than they had ever been.
Andy's Bachelor Party
"No, I'm getting married tomorrow!" Andy Biersack yelled as his best friends, Jake Pitts, Jinxx, Ashley Purdy, CC, and Matt Good, were carrying him by his long arms and legs into a strip club on the the eve of his wedding to his girlfriend of five years, Tidal. At that point, he still didn't know what her real name was. She said she wanted it to be a surprise when the priest read it out to everyone.
Don't get him wrong, he was still atheist, but Tidal was still Catholic and it meant a lot to her, so he had consented to getting married in the Church. He didn't think that his Blasphemy and inverted cross tattoos would have gone over well, and that was his defense, but she, being his smarter half, said that he was going to be wearing a jacket, so it wouldn't matter because no one could see them.
"Exactly! This is your last night as a free man, so you must enjoy it to the max!" CC said from the direction of Andy's right leg. Matt was carrying him by his left leg, Jake was carrying him by his right arm, Jinxx was carrying him by his left arm, and Ashley was holding the door open for them. As they got closer to the door, he started kicking, trying to get out of it.
"Have you ever stopped to think that maybe I'm looking forward to not being a free man? And, besides Jinxx, you all have girlfriends!" That's true. Ashley, Jake, and CC had been dating Tidal's band mates for almost as long as Andy had been dating Tidal, Matt had started dating a random fan that he had met a few years back, but Jinxx had gotten married to his girlfriend of several years a few years before.
"When are you guys going to get married anyways?" Andy asked.
"When we decide to propose! Now, shut up and enjoy the stippers!" Ashley yelled from in front of them.
"Speaking of your girlfriends, how are they going to react?" Andy shouted, thinking that he had them beat.
"They're the ones who planned this!" Matt exclaimed with a gleeful look on his face. Andy decided he was going to have a serious conversation with his future wife's band members. The guys dumped him on a chair right in front of a pole dancer right in the middle of taking off her skirt.
"Andy, this is Willow, she is your lap dancer." Sandra Alva said, coming up to him with a scarcely clothed twenty-something, blonde girl. Sandra had come in advance for unknown reasons, but now he thought he knew why.
"I don't want a lap dance! I'm getting married tomorrow!" Andy exclaimed for the umpteenth time. Sandra just laughed as Willow started her routine.
"Good, isn't she? And, she's completely Tidal approved!" Sandra yelled as Andy leaned back, trying to get as far away from her as possible.
"Wait, what? Tidal set this up?" Andy asked. When Sandra nodded, he groaned and looked anywhere except for Willow and saw the rest of the guys looking at the pole dancer from earlier.
A couple of minutes later, Willow left Andy alone with Sandra. She pulled up a chair right next to him and smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" He asked with a smile of his own.
"What I want to know is why you're not smiling. You're getting married to the love of your life tomorrow and you look like somebody kicked you in the balls." Sandra said. Andy laughed at his ex-drummer and shook his head.
"I guess I'm just nervous, is all." He said.
"Tell Sandra your troubles." She said with a smile.
"What if she decides she doesn't want to get married? What if she decides that this happened too fast?" That last one was completely irrational; they had been dating for five years.
"If she thinks that this is too fast, you should probably ask her again in about twenty years. You're worrying for nothing. You may not notice the way that she looks at you, but the rest of us do and if you would see it, it's like she were blind and she were seeing the sun for the first time in her life." Sandra had always had a way with words. She left him to mull this over.
Andy's and Tidal's Wedding
"Tidal, chill out, it's gonna be great!" Sierra Kusterbeck yelled at her best friend, Tidal, as she was pacing in the back room of the large church, waiting for the music to start.
"What if he leaves me at the alter? What if he doesn't love me anymore? What if-" Tidal yelled, at which point Sierra stood up and grasped her by the shoulders.
"Dude, shut up! Andy loves you more than anything in the world! He would never leave you, ever! For one, because he knows that if he does, he's gonna die." Sierra said reassuringly. There came a knock on the door and Tidal's dad walked in.
"Tidal... You look beautiful." Her dad was a big man of about six foot five with a beard and a buzz cut, so it came as a surprise when he started crying a little bit.
Tidal's ensemble consisted of a black, Cinderella style wedding dress, a black veil, her new ring with a rather large diamond in the middle surrounded by smaller black and blue diamonds, and a sapphire blue bracelet that her grandma had worn at her wedding. She had kept up the regular traditions: everything else was new, but her bracelet was blue, borrowed, and old all at the same time.
"Thanks, Dad. You don't look too bad yourself." She said, straightening his tie.
"Come on! Let's do this thing!" Sierra yelled, clapping her hands and walking out to the entrance hall where the other bridesmaids and Andy's groomsmen and Best Man were waiting.
The exact lineup was this; Matt Good and Sierra, the best man and Maid of Honor, Ashley Purdy and Kailee, Jake Pitts and Morana, Ronnie and CC, and Jinxx and Sammi Doll, the groomsmen and bridesmaids. The flower girl was Leila Rose, Craig Mabbitt's daughter. The wedding march started, so they started filing out one by one. Finally, it was Tidal's and her dad's turn and after counting to three, they stepped out from the alcove. There was a collective gasp as everybody stood up. However, she only had eyes for one person. Andy was standing up at the front with his guys, her guys, and the minister. It was absolutely ridiculous how great he looked. His short, choppy black hair was straight as it always was and he was wearing eyeliner like he always did, but the one different thing was that he was wearing a suit complete with a tie which he never did.
It appeared that he was staring at her too, and she was suddenly very self-conscious. She worried that she was probably going to trip even though she was wearing flats and that at the reception, as Ronnie told her, they were really going to keep up tradition and have Andy remove her garter with his teeth, which made her blush. However, they were both smiling like idiots. Soon enough, Tidal was up at the altar with Andy, and her dad was placing her hand in his.
"Please be seated." The minister said. "The bride and groom would like to say their own vows." He continued, then gestured for Andy to go on.
"Tidal... The first day I saw you... There was just something about you. I knew you were special and that you were going to be a huge part of my life. I've loved you ever since then, and I haven't stopped loving you since. If anything, I've loved you more and more every single day. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I will never let you go, ever. For anything. You're the most important thing in the world to me and I hope that you feel the same, otherwise I'm gonna cry, cry some more, and then die." Andy said, smiling down at Tidal and causing a general chuckle. Tidal could feel the threat of tears coming on at Andy's speech but she swallowed before starting her own.
"Andy, I love you. I have always loved you, and I really need you to know that. You're an amazing person, one of my best friends, and I'm really glad that I can say that I've shared some of my best memories with you. You are the best person in my life and just my time with you has made my crappy relationships with my past boyfriends all worth it. Before you, I had always been kinda awkward and shy and afraid of a lot of things, even after we got discovered and all that, but after I met you, I just kinda... I kind of just came out of my shell. You have never once failed to make me laugh and I love you so much and I can't tell you that enough. I'm really looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you." Tidal finished. They shared their last kiss ever as an unmarried couple before the minister started again.
The Chronicles of their first baby- Telling Andy
Tidal lay on the couch, her hand on her stomach, waiting for her husband of a year to come home from the recording studio. He finally walked in the front door and when he saw her on the couch, he walked over, knelt down by her head, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hello, my love. Are you feeling okay?" Andy asked, looking at the way she had her hand on her stomach. She smiled.
"I'm feeling fantastic. I have some really, really great news." She said, and when Andy gestured for her to continue, she did. "My period was five days late, so I bought a pregnancy test. It came out positive." She said with the biggest smile that could fit on her face.
"What? You're pregnant?" When Tidal nodded, worried that Andy didn't want a kid yet, Andy's face broke into a huge grin.
"We're gonna have a little baby!" He exclaimed happily. They both had matching smiles.
"Yeah, we are. I made a doctor's appointment for next Wednesday. Would you like to accompany me?" She asked happily.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Four month ultrasound
The doctor smoothed the cold jelly crap over Tidal's stomach and moved the little X-ray thing-a-ma-jig, as Andy and Tidal referred to them, trying to get a clear picture of the baby. Andy sat in a chair next to Tidal, holding her hand.
"Would you like to know the gender?" Andy and Tidal nodded vigorously. Dr. Larson looked a little closer at the ultrasound and turned to them with a smile.
"It's a little baby boy." She said. Grins broke across their faces.
"I'm gonna have a son! I'm gonna have a son!" Andy yelled, standing up with his arms raised triumphantly over his head. Dr. Larson and Tidal laughed.
"Don't you mean we're going to have a son?" Tidal asked.
"Yeah, sure, of course! A son!" He yelled, finally sitting back down.
Birth
"Thank you, Los Angeles! That was a great last stop on the tour! Hope to-... Oh. Crap." Tidal said to her band's awaiting audience as she looked down at her feet. Water was slowly dripping down her legs. "Um, sorry, but we won't be having a signing due to the fact that I just went into labor. Somebody get me to a hospital!" She yelled. Her bandmates and Andy swarmed her, rushing her out of the venue and to the nearest hospital.
They finally got there and got her into a room. She decided she wanted to have a natural birth, in the process of which she almost broke Andy's hand twice and severely bruised it. After five hours, some harsh words from Tidal to Andy for 'doing this to her', and several buckets of sweat, Tidal gave birth to a healthy baby boy. They named him Cooper Hayden Biersack. He had his father's eyes, but his mother's naturally dirty blonde hair. As promised, the godmother was Sierra Kusterbeck. The godfather was Matt Good.
The Chronicles of their second child- Telling Andy
"Andy, get in here!" Tidal yelled to Andy from their shared bathroom. She was sitting on the ground, looking at a pregnancy test on the edge of the bathtub. He walked in and took at look at what she was looking at.
"We're having another baby?" He asked with a smile on his face. It had been two years since they had had their son, Cooper. At that moment, he was in daycare.
"Yeah, we are. I wanna girl. I don't think I can handle two boys." She said jokingly. They hugged, loving being parents more than they ever thought they would.
Four month ultrasound
"Gender or no?" The same Dr. Larson asked, causing Tidal and Andy to nod excitedly.
"It's a little girl." He said, smiling.
"When she starts dating, I'm going to be one of those stereotypical dads that interrogates him for seven hours." Andy said, smiling largely. Tidal laughed, squeezing his hand.
Birth
Tidal actually had to have an induced labor, but she didn't mind, because never again was she going to have a natural birth. After a couple of hours of pushing and grunting, she finally managed to get out her little girl. She still felt as gross and sweaty as she did during her first childbirth, but she didn't feel like every bone in her body was breaking.
Andy cut the umbilical cord, which he said was probably one of the proudest moments of his life. They named her Natalie Rose Biersack. She was one of the most beautiful babies they had ever seen. She had Andy's naturally blonde hair, Tidal's eyes, full lips, and a cute little button nose. She was so sweet.
Career Day- Natalie
Tidal and her daughter, Natalie, walked into Nat's tenth grade classroom for Career Day. The room was mostly occupied with people who worked nine to five jobs, a few doctors, a lawyer, and even a policeman. Nobody had believed Nat when she told them that her mom was Tidal, the singer from the insanely famous band that brought underground music above ground, My Pain Of Heart. Naturally, there was a collective gasp as she walked in with said mom.
Tidal really stood out amongst the other parents. Most of them looked quite middle-aged, and even though Tidal was forty-five, she could easily pass as some twenty years younger. She had never even had plastic surgery or anything, she had just aged extremely well and taken good care of herself. The only difference in her forty-five year old self from her twenty-five year old self was the hair. She still dyed it black, but her bangs didn't cover her eye as much as they once did.
Most of the parents were wearing suits of some kind and respectable makeup, but this was another difference. Tidal was wearing heavy black eyeliner and a brown, plaid shirt covering a white tank top, black short-shorts, and a pair of high-tops with the lyrics to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana on them. Yeah, she got a lot of stares, but she didn't care. It made her proud to know how successful she was and still managed to never have to stop being a kid like the rest of them. She even recognized one of her high school bullies. Awesome.
At some point during the accountant's presentation, Tidal fell asleep and was only awoken by a half-asleep Natalie, who informed her that it was her turn to go up and speak. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and walked up to the front of the classroom. She didn't really have anything planned, so she was just gonna wing it.
"Hi, my name is Tidal, and I am the singer of My Pain Of Heart. Natalie is my daughter, back there. I'm not sure how many of you have heard of us, but we're an alternative rock band that released our first album twenty-seven years ago. I was eighteen and had just graduated high school, so it was really awesome. Most of you guys gave demonstrations, but I'm not sure how well me breaking out into song would go, so how about some questions?"
A couple of people raised their hands. Tidal called on a boy who looked really nervous to be speaking to her. "What was your favorite and worst tour memory?"
She mulled it over for a moment. "My favorite tour memory was when we were on tour, and Cherri Bomb were opening for us. They're an all-girls band as well, but they're like, four to eight years younger than us, so we were teaching them a lot about being in an all-girls band and touring and how you had to work harder than guys, right? Well, it was the last day of tour, last concert and all, and after they had finished their set, they did a tribute to us, thanking us for helping them so much. That's my favorite.
"My worst tour memory would have to be two tours before the Cherri Bomb one, in 2011. I had been dating this guy for a couple of months, right? He was the singer of the band that was headlining, and it was my birthday and the last show of the tour and all that, right? So, he brought me up onstage, where he sang 'Happy Birthday' to me and we did a duet, and he told me he loved me for the first time. I told him that I loved him back and walked offstage, but when I was almost back to the green room, I met this chick, right? She told me that she had slept with my boyfriend while I was performing. I got extremely upset, so I ran back to my tour bus and cried in the dark for like, forty-five minutes before he came to see me on the bus. I kneed him in his man parts and screamed for him to get off of my bus without telling him why I was so upset. He got off after much fighting. And, that is my worst tour memory." Tidal finished up.
"What did you do?" The same guy asked.
"I got back together with him. See, I had this video shown to me on this camera that showed the date, the time, and everything that showed him the entire time I was performing, not sleeping with the chick. Five years later, I got married to him and had two kids, so everything worked out." She smiled at the class.
The kids asked some interesting questions. Her presentation was much better than all the others.
Career Day- Cooper
Cooper and his dad, Andy Biersack, walked into Cooper's twelfth grade classroom for Career Day. Cooper was excited; his dad had the kick-ass career of being a rockstar, whereas the rest of the kids' parents' careers were nine to five and horribly boring.
Quite a few stares were dealt Andy's way. This didn't surprise him; he stood out among the other parents like a sore thumb. He had shoulder length black hair that he had allowed to grow out again after his daughter Natalie was born. He also had quite a few tattoos and a lip and a nose piercing. He was decked out in leather from his pants, to his shoes, to the studded vest that he had buttoned for the sake of the other parents. This was something that he would normally wear while performing, and he had been instructed to wear his work clothes, after all.
He aged well, often getting compared to Nikki Sixx, who, at aged fifty-three, could have passed as thirty-something. Andy was forty-six and often passed as thirty himself. Compared to the rest of these parents, most of which had graying hair and were probably no older than him, he looked young.
Andy tried to stay interested, but it was significantly hard when everybody was so monotonous and horrifically uninteresting. He was finally snapped out of his daze when Cooper poked him in the shoulder, telling him to get his ass up there and knock them dead. This should bother him, seeing as he was Cooper's dad, but he preferred for his children to talk to him like they would to their friends.
"Hi, my name is Andy Biersack, and I'm the singer of Black Veil Brides. Not sure how popular we are around here... Well, we released our first album in 2010, long before you kiddies were born. Some of your parents here may have listened to us at one point-"
"I love you, Andy Biersack!" A mom sitting in the back burst out. Her son slapped his forehead at his mom's outburst.
Andy just smiled at her. It had become increasingly obvious to him throughout the previous presentations that she was a fan, based on the excited glanced she threw his way. "I love you, too. I'm not sure what else to tell you... I really just planned on winging it, so who wants to ask a question?"
Some hands went up, so he called on a boy who was obviously of the rocker variety. "Did you live the sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle before you got old?"
Andy chuckled. "Not really. Sex? No. Drugs? Unless you count alcohol and cigarettes, no. Rock and roll? You bet your ass I still do!" This caused a laugh among the students, some of the parents, and a stern look from the rest.
"Fag!" A dude wearing a letterman jacket shouted, earning a dark look from the teacher.
"Hm, jock, huh? What are you, a football player?" He shook his head. "Wrestler?" He nodded, so Andy smirked. "And I'm the fag? Well, I'll be sure to remember the guy who rolls around with another sweaty guy on the floor in tights next time I'm having sex with my super hot wife." Disapproving looks all around, but when the wrestler didn't respond Andy smirked again.
"Any other questions?"
A/N: I am totally not ready to do this, but I can't add anymore to the story. I'm sorry, guys. I love you all so much, and I'm so happy that all of you stuck around for as long as you did.
