Feels Like Friendship
Artie was feeling nervous as he woke up. A few weeks had passed and was the day of the wedding. He went downstairs in his dressing gown and entered the dining room.
Shrek and the others were already sitting there eating and talking about things especially the wedding.
"Hey Artie excited about getting hitched?" Donkey asked him.
"Y-Yeah I guess. Where's Marissa?" the young king asked him.
"Asleep still." Lillian told him as he ate some toast smothered with logan berry jam.
She along with Fiona and the other princeeses could tell Artie was nervous about getting married.
"It'll be okay, trust me." Fiona reassured him.
Artie sighed leaving the room. He got dressed in a lavender robes and he wore his crown.
He along with Puss and the others gasped seeing Marissa. She was dressed in a black wedding dress which hid her baby bump, her long black hair was tied up in plaits and wore make up.
"Madre Dios! She's amazing!" Puss said in awe.
Shrek saw Artie blush. For some odd reason, Artie had made him the best man.
Later the reception was at the swamp. All of Artie's family and friends were there in merriment and celebrating Artie and Marissa's marriage.
But in the middle of a speech, Artie noticed Marissa was in agony.
"What's wrong honey?" he asked her.
"Umm.... Artie dear, my water just broke." Marissa said softly.
"Oh boy. We'd better get her to a doctor fast. The baby's on the way!" Shrek said as he, Fiona, Artie and Marissa got into the onion carriage and it took off......
Artie was comforting Marissa while trying not to panic. Shrek understood how Artie was feeling. He'd been kuje this when Fiona's water had broken.
They were relieved once they got to the hospital but Artie was more tense as Marissa was taken into the delivery suite.
"Looks like we're sitting for a while." Shrek said as he and Artie sat in the waiting room......
