Daughter of the Deadman: Another Place & Time
Hey, all. I'm hanging in. Went to a WWE Show this past Saturday (July 5th for those reading this later) and it was a total blast! Although, I screamed so much that it got to the point where I'd cough like I just smoke a cigerette or something lol. Pics and stuff are on Facebook if u wanna have a look-see. I'm gonna try to get better with updating too. It's just I play video games a lot in the Summer just because I can.
Thanks to Cena's Country Girl for the help with this chapter. Thanks to Cena's baby doll and kakashishot for their reviews.
See you all at the bottom!
Chapter 6: Wedding Bells & A Wedding Crasher
It was July 20th, 1993, the day of Mark and Bethany's wedding. It was going to be a very simple ceremony. There weren't even going to be flower girls, bridesmaids, best men or even a ring bearer. Neither one minded too much either. They wanted a church wedding, but it didn't have to be fancy. As far as they knew Davey and Kristy were coming. As were Bret and his family, Owen and his family, and her Dad and Brother. Beth had invited Kristal, but she had declined to come, although everyone couldn't help but wonder if she would show up and try to ruin everything.
Bethany was in a back room of the church with her Dad and Brother. She was wearing the white and black wedding dress that she had picked out, although it had been altered twice in order to accommodate her pregnant belly. Beth didn't care though, she still thought she looked pretty. In addition to the dress, she was wearing blue eye shadow, eye liner and a bit of lip gloss. Her long red hair was tied back into a bun. She was wearing her veil although it wasn't in front of her face yet.
"Bethy, you look beautiful.' Liam said.
"You look just like a princess in a fairy tale, sweetheart." Dean said.
Beth beamed. She hugged them both. Just then, there was a knock on the door. When Dean opened it, Davey was standing there holding Baby Kristy. Dean let them in. Beth noticed that Davey was wearing a suit and Kristy was dressed in the purple dress, shoes and headband that Beth had bought her.
"Well, hello there." Beth said with a smile.
"This must be Davey and Baby Kristy." Liam said.
"Yeah. Davey, this is my Dad Dean and my older brother Liam. Dad, Liam, this is Davey Boy Smith." Beth said.
"And this must be Baby Kristy. You're a little cutie." Dean said.
"Beth told us about what happened and that she was really sick. She looks like she's feeling a lot better now though." Liam said.
"She is for sure. Although, it wouldn't take much. Anyway, she wanted to see Beth apparently. We walked by and she looked at the door and started to cry." Davey said.
"Oh, wow. Hey, have you seen Mark?" Beth asked.
"Yeah. I took Kristy to see him too. I've never seen him so antsy before. It's like he's excited and nervous." Davey said.
"He's not alone. I'm excited and nervous too. And apparently, Angel is happy. She's been doing somersaults all day." Beth said.
Davey, Dean, and Liam laughed. Beth sat down and Davey put Kristy in her lap. Beth began to play Peek-A-Boo with her. Kristy's face lit up. After a few minutes, Kristy looked at Beth curiously and then looked down at her stomach and back up at her. Beth realized that Angel was kicking and Kristy was wondering what was going on.
"It's alright, sweetheart. That's just Angel. She's my baby. You'll get to meet her soon, I'm sure." Beth said.
Kristy watched Beth intently for a few seconds and then her face lit up again. Just then, there was another knock on the door.. This time, when Davey opened the door, it was Owen. He had come to tell them that it was nearly time. Beth sighed and stood up. She handed Kristy back to Davey and slipped her shoes on. Davey and Owen hugged and congratulated her and so did Liam. Beth made sure to give Kristy a hug too. Then they left. Dean handed Beth her bouquet of white rose. Beth could see that he was tearing up. She gave her Dad a hug.
"I'm so proud of you, sweetheart." he said, hugging her back.
"Thanks, Daddy. I...only wish that Mom cared about me the way you, Mark, and Liam do." Beth said.
"Bethy, I hate to tell you this, but-" Dean started.
"Mom will never care about me because she never wanted me. I know that, Daddy. I've accepted it. She only kept me rather then Liam when you two split up to get back at you." Beth said.
"Yep." Dean said.
"Well, she's paying the price for not caring now. She's going to miss out on her Granddaughter's life and she has no one to blame but herself." Beth said with a sort of satisfied grin.
Dean nodded. He took his daughter's hand and together they left the room. They began their walk to the chapel. When they entered, Mark was standing at the alter. Beth just kept her eyes on him, knowing that if she looked anywhere else, she'd feel even more nervous. She noticed that he was wearing a dress shirt, dress pants, and shoes, and that his long hair was back in a braid. He looked handsome to Beth anyway.
Dean walked her to where Mark was standing and Mark took her hands. She didn't feel nervous at all now as the two joined hands in front of everyone. Everything was going very well. Mark and Beth exchanged vows to each other and then exchanged their wedding rings.
"If anyone here knows why these two should not be joined in Holy Matrimony, please speak now or forever hold your peace."
As if on some sort of cue, Kristal burst through the now closed chapel doors. She was wearing a t-shirt and jeans with running shoes and she looked completely livid as she walked toward her daughter.
"Mother..." Beth said.
"I forbid you to do this, Bethany." Kristal said.
"I should have known." Beth said.
"I will not allow you to marry this...this unworthy man!" Kristal said.
"This "Unworthy Man" has done more for me in the last five months then you've done for me in my whole life. I love him and I don't care what you think. I'm an adult now! You can't stop me!" Beth said.
"Bethany, don't you dare talk to me like that!" Kristal said.
"Kristal, really! Do you always have to try and spoil Bethany's happiness?" Dean asked, standing up and staring at his ex-wife.
"Shut up, Dean!" Kristal snapped.
"Why don't you take your own advice, Mom?" Liam asked, standing up and looking at his mother with disgust.
"So you two agree with this?" Kristal asked.
"Obviously." Dean said.
"Of course we do! Because unlike you, we just want Beth to be happy, so why don't you just turn around and leave?" Liam asked.
"Fine! But know this, Bethany, you are no longer my daughter! And that child in your belly isn't my Grandchild!" Kristal said.
With that, she stormed from the church. Bethany sighed. She was hoping that this wouldn't happen. She looked at Mark with an apologetic look on her face. Mark just nodded. Liam sat back down, looking disgusted at his mother's behaviour.
"Sorry, sir. Please continue with the Ceremony." Dean told the Minister as he sat back down, looking upset and angry.
"Right. Do you, Bethany, take Mark to be your lawful wedded husband in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Beth said.
"And do you, Mark take Bethany to be your lawful wedded wife in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Mark said.
"Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Mark lifted Bethany's veil and kissed her. They walked out of the Church to the waiting car and drove home. There was to be a small party at their house. Mark and Beth arrived home to find their backyard decorated. There was a big table with tons of food on it and several little tables and the whole place was lit up with what looked like giant Christmas lights. There was also a big canopy where people could dance.
"Wow. This is beautiful." Beth said.
"I know." Mark said, looking around, "By the way, sweetheart, are you alright?"
"I'm alright. I know my Mother was going to show up, but I was hoping she wouldn't. I already know what's going to happen." Beth said.
"Oh?" Mark asked.
"She'll come around after Angel is born and be all apologetic. I just don't know what I'll do. I mean, I'd love for my Mother to have a relationship with her Granddaughter, but...with the way my Mom is.." Beth said.
"You're not sure." Mark said.
Beth nodded. However, before they could say anything more on the matter, people began arriving in their cars. Owen, his son Oje, and his wife Martha got to the backyard first. Beth and Martha had been good friends since the Calaways had taken their unexpected trip to Calgary. Martha had even offered to be a bridesmaid for Beth, but Beth had politely declined the offer, saying it was fine. Martha gave Beth a hug and shook Mark's hand and Owen followed suit. Oje stared up at them. Beth knelt down and Oje gave her a hug.
"Bef...you have big tummy." Oje said.
"Oje!" Owen said.
"It's OK, Owen. There's a baby in my tummy, Oje. That's why it's big. Here." Beth said.
She reached out and took Oje's hand and placed it on her stomach. Angel was moving and kicking like she had been doing almost all day, obviously in a very happy mood.
"Baby kick." Oje said.
"She's been doing that all day. I think she's in a good mood." Beth said.
"Daddy, I be fend with baby. And Risty too." Oje said.
"OK, Oje." Owen said with a smile.
Beth laughed at the little boy. She gave him another hug. Then Owen and his family moved on. One by one, they greeted their guests. Then Mark and Beth danced their first dance as a married couple. The night seemed to fly by and finally at about three in the morning, the last of the guests finally left. Mark and Beth got ready for bed. They climbed into bed and kissed each other goodnight.
As Beth fell asleep in Mark's arms she thought about how everything had gone that day. She was glad that everything had gone well despite her mother trying to ruin it. She also thought about how happy she was now.
Kinda short, guys, but I'm not good with weddings. Hope you guys like it anyway. Leave me a review! Bye guys!~Taker's Soul Girl
