Hi, here's Chapter 3 of father of the Bride, thank you to everyone who's reviewed and listed this story in their faves really grateful and happy! Oh just a little note has anyone heard the song: I won't give up by Jason Mraz its really sweet and I think it describes how Mal feels about Natara, please give it a listen and let me know if you agree, I'm thinking of doing a songfic on it!:) Anyway here's my next Chapter Enjoy!

The day of Natara's wedding and Mal can't seem to settle anywhere; he couldn't sleep the night before, he can't sit still; sick of pacing around his empty apartment, tortured by his own thoughts and feelings, he goes for a walk to clear his mind, with his hands in his pockets, he walks head down watching as each foot steps on the pavement, he continues to walk for hours without even a thought of where he's heading and if he was honest, he didn't care. Suddenly, he finds himself stood across the street from a posh, elegant building; where he notices a group of people huddled around a white car, he sees some kind of white material flow out the car door and a gust of wind blows the material around the shape of a women, when the wind dies down a veil falls still, revealing a beautiful, blushing bride…Natara to be exact; Mal's stomach drops and his heart aches as he watches all the female relatives fuss over he, fixing her hair and straightening her dress as she makes her way towards the entrance of the posh building, and soon the group of people disappear in after her, Mal walks across the street towards the building, he walks through a small patch of lilies planted in swirling patterns in the earth and sits on a wooden bench facing the building; his face is blank and unreadable and he feels numb inside; and the torturing thoughts once again creep inside his mind; he takes a deep breath and as he does the such wave of realization hits him like ton of bricks; What the hell am I doing? I love Natara am I really willing to let her go with a fight, I haven't even tried, maybe Raj was right, I should do something before it's too late! With that Mal jumps up and quickly sprints onto the wedding venue.

Natara stands at the alter opposite Oscar, the wedding venue is beautifully decorated with lilies, white ribbon and small candles and fairy lights dotted around the room, the groom smiles at his bride but Natara glances at her father who gives her a reassuring smile, as the priest starts the ceremony, he says the one line that leaves everyone on edge ending with those seven famous words.

Priest: "Speak now or forever hold your peace."

The room goes quiet as the sound of an opening door echoes throughout the room as everyone turns to see Mal Fallon running down the aisle towards the bride. Natara's face floods with the look of confusion and slight anger as she sees Mal.

Natara:"Mal, What the hell are doing here?

Mal:"You can't marry Oscar!"

Natara:"Why?"

Mal:"Because he'll never love you or care about more than I do right now…I love you Natara I always have!"

Natara:"What.."

Mal turns to look at Raj.

Mal:"You were right, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing; I should have listened to you!"

Raj nods at Mal and smiles proudly, Natara turns and looks at her father in disbelief.

Natara:"Wait…You knew he was going to do this and you said nothing? And Mal you went behind my back and just…I don't believe this!"

Natara storms up the aisle and out the door, the room erupts into questions and confusion, Oscar stomps over to Mal and looks him dead in the eye.

Oscar:"What the hell is wrong with you Fallon? Why can't you just leave Natara and me to be happy?"

Mal:"Can it Oscar, do you really think I care what you think right now?"

Oscar throws his arm towards Mal in a vicious punch but Mal catches Oscars fist in his hand.

Mal:"I wouldn't do that if I were you Oscar, because we both know that if I wanted to, I could twist your arm and snap it like a twig and you know I wouldn't hesitate if I had to!"

Oscar jerks his fist back from Mal's grip and walks off to a room in the back of the wedding venue, Raj walks over to Mal and places his hand on Mal's shoulder, Mal turns slowly to face him.

Mal:"Well that could've gone better!"

Raj:"True, but at least you did something!"

Mal:"Yeah and now Natara hates me!"

Raj:"She doesn't hate you she just needs time."

Mal:"I need to find her..what about the wedding?"

Raj:"Don't worry, ill take care of things here, you just go after Natara, I knew you'd changed your mind Mr Fallon you really are a good man for my daughter!"

Mal:"Thank you Sir."

With that Mal goes to find Natara…wherever she is.
