Chapter 2:
Angel and I sat there an hour after the sunset, until we decided to go in. We walk slowly hand in hand back to the castle trying very hard not to let this morning slip away from us to fast. We walked mostly in silence until we were about half way to the castle when he asked sweetly, "So…did I succeed?" I thought about this question for a moment, "Hmm, well… you did wake me up very early, but you make up for it with waffles and ice cream and very pretty sunrise, so… yes, you succeeded, it was a very surprisie, and these flowers are perfect." I smiled and kissed him. We walked the rest of the way hand in hand and swinging them back and we got to the castle, we could see almost every slayer in the courtyard training, a man with an eye-patch and a women with bright red hair.
She walked in her own bouncy stride toward us with a huge smile on her face; this reminded me of when we picked her up at the airport a five of months ago and Willow was just as happy, now. Kennedy, her girlfriend, had arrived for the wedding a week ago and she was even happier to have her here. She stayed for a month after she came to see me and went back to Kennedy for two months then came back and stayed. She was helping me plan the wedding.
"Hey, where did you two go off to this morning? I went to your room to see if you were breakfast ready but, nobody was home." She said with a smile.
"Angel took me for a surprise, to see the sunrise and he gave me these." I say like a five year old and shoved the flowers in her face to smell.
She smells then and says to Angel, "Black roses, huh? Very Fitting." Then her phone rang, she answered and we listen,
"Hello?"She says, then someone is speaks
"They're here…. Okay… I'll tell them, there right here…ahuh… okay, we'll be right there… Yeah, Bye." She says with a smile, as she shuts the phone and jams it into her pocket.
"So… who's here?" I ask, so many people have already came for the wedding but it was always nice to see old friends, there were a few people who I especially wanted to see but they weren't here, yet.
"Faith, Wood and Sam," she says smiling
"Really?" she nods, to answer my question, "Well come on lets go see them." I say as I am already bolting to the front doors of the castle, It has been along time since I have seen any of them.
When we reached the front door, well, me first then Angel and then Willow, I saw Faith in a black leather jacket, jeans and long wavy brown hair pulling a suit case out of the car, and Robin Wood, getting something out of the back sit of the car.
"Faith?" I say as a question even though I know it is her. She turns around and greets me with a huge smile, "Hey there, B, your looking fantastic. How are you?"
"Well, you know, just wonderful, and you?" I ask
"Five by five," She says in her typical way that makes me grin even more.
We hug and she spy's Willow and Angel, "Hey Will, nice to see you, and Angel...you're lookin' good, nice to see that you're not bursting into flames right 'bout now!" He laughs and as he is about to reply, but a four year old comes running around from the other side of the car. "Sam! Wait… you need some shoes!" Wood yells after his son.
"Hon, just let him be, I am sure that B, here wants to see how much this little munchkin has grown," she says as she grabs Sam up into her arms, "right?" she asks.
She hands the rambunctious four year old over to me, he is exactly how I pictured his mother at his age. He had curly brown hair, lighter brown skin then his father and the same huge brown eyes as his mother.
"Hey, Sam, you know the last time I saw you were just born." I say to the little boy squiring in my arms. I remember that day, it was raining and Faith was swearing like a sailor and wouldn't let Wood in the birthing room. He was so nervous, Willow stayed with him so she could try to keep him calm. I was there with her, she almost broke my hand, she was squeezing it so hard. Then a little boy with light brown skin was handed to her. Faith's face was something I had never seen before. As I held Sam in my arms know I couldn't believe this was the same little boy then.
"No, but I am supposed to not broke anyting at my Auntie B's home,so, ared you my Auntie B?" He was so cute and we all laugh at this statement.
"Yeah, I am Auntie B, so you know I have an important job for you right?" I ask. He nods. "You want to know what it is?" His face lightens up and nods his head vigorously, "Yeah… Well, you get to be the Ring Bear, and you get to give the ring to Angel, over there and to me so we can be married. Do you think you can do it?"
He smiles as says, "Yeah, 'casue I am importanent like that." We laugh very hard because that was a little to like his mother.
"Hey, Wood this is my fiancé Angel, Angel this is Wood, he was the last principle at Sunnydale High and Faith's um… Guy?" I say as I look at her for a title and she just shrugs as she pulls out another suitcase( the men shake hands), "So, I think you should show Sam and Wood around because Faith, Willow and I have some Wedding business to attend to." I put down Sam and he runs away as Wood tried to put on his shoes and just eventually gives up, and they both follow Sam as the talk about something or other.
We watch them go, and the three of us, Willow, Faith and I. "Faith?" I ask and she turns to me, "I didn't want to ask you this on the phone so here is goes… Will you be one of my Bridesmaids?"
I hoped you liked it, Review please!
