Chapter Thirty

The back yard was beginning to look great, Roland and the boys out did themselves, they even went and rented chairs not only for the guest to sit on but also chairs and tables for the Reception.

When Helga's brothers arrived, they helped to sit up the huge tent that would cover the area that the guests would be sitting.

When the florist delivered Pink Rose Buds to decorate the arch and trellis, they also delivered the Bride's Bouquet and the Boutonnière's, Helga had them placed in their huge refrigerator to keep them fresh.

In the kitchen, the Snap Beans along with the huge roast was in the refrigerator, the roast would be put in oven later today, Helga asked two of her best friends Linda and Kelly to come help her and Ishizu and Mai get the cooking done.

Roland was outside making sure that everything was ready, and as he stood there, tears filled his eyes, their oldest son was getting married, it never really hit him until then, he and Helga were so blessed, they had each other and their wonderful family.

As he was standing there thinking, Bakura came outside and saw his dad just standing there, he walked over to make sure that he was all right and when he realized that Roland was crying he said, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Roland wiped the tears from his face and he cleared his throat and said, "It really didn't hit me until today, but soon you won't be living here anymore, you and Sasha will be living in your own place, I guess I got a little nostalgic, thinking about when you first came to live here."

Bakura smiled and put his arm around his dad and hugged him, and then he said, "I know the feeling, it's finally hit me too, and I got kind of misty eyed myself."

Helga came outside to get Roland to help her, but she saw Bakura out talking to his dad, she went back inside, walked over, sat down at the table and started crying, soon their oldest son would be leaving the nest.

Ishizu came into the kitchen to ask her mom something and when she saw Helga crying she went over and said, "Mom are you alright?" Helga took a tissue, wiped her face, and said, "I guess it's finally hit me, one of my babies are leaving."

Ishizu smiled and sat down next to Helga and said, "I understand, it scares me to think that when Samuel and I get married, I'll be leaving too."

Helga smiled and said, "Well please let me get use to losing your brother, I don't think I can take losing anyone one else just now."

Ishizu giggled and she kissed her mom, and she said, "Tea's having a spaz attack, she's so worried that no one is going to be able to fix her hair."

Helga laughed and said, "I'll go talk to her, Helga got up and then she realized that she too needed to get their hair done, Ishizu said, "Mom, I'll fix your hair."

Then Helga snapped her fingers, does your girlfriend Vicki work at the Hair Salon in town?"

Ishizu smiled, walked over and picked up the phone and called Claire's Hair Salon. "Hello, Claire's can I help you?"

Ishizu said, "Vickie, do you think that you can come over to my parents home early tomorrow and do the my mom, my sisters Mai and Tea, my soon to be sister-in-law Sasha and my hair for the Wedding?"

She had to hold the phone away from her ear, Vickie was yelling, "You know I can." Then Ishizu said, "Vickie, calm down or you'll break something."

Helga was laughing at Ishizu's facial expression as she tried to calm Vickie down, finally Ishizu hung up the phone and said, "Vickie will be here around six tomorrow morning, is that alright with you?"

They heard behind them, "We're going to have our hair fixed by Vickie?" Tea said. Helga smiled as she held out her arms and Tea went over and wrapped her arms around Helga and said, "Ishizu, I'm sorry for being a spoiled brat."

Helga hugged Tea and said, "Every once in a while we all act like spoiled brats, it's alright."

Ishizu said, "Little sis, believe it or not, Mai and I acted worse then you did when we didn't get our way."

That evening after the all the kids went to bed, Roland and Helga lay in bed and he said, "Today when I was outside making sure that everything was going a planned, I kind of got emotional and started to cry."

Helga smiled as she touched the side of Roland's face and said, "I kind of cried myself, we're losing out oldest son, but we're gaining another daughter too."

Roland put his arm around her and as she laid her head on his chest, he said, "Well you know that we have two more Weddings to go through in a couple of months."

Helga playfully slapped him and said, "Don't remind me, Ishizu said this afternoon when she caught me crying that soon she and Mai would be getting married, I wanted to shake her, but she's right, soon all our oldest kids will be leaving the nest."

Roland hugged her and he said, "Lets get some sleep, I'm getting older by the minute, and if I'm not careful all my hair will be gray." Helga laughed and said, "Well that won't happen to me, I'll just use some hair coloring to cover up any gray hairs I get."

They both chuckled and then Roland yawned and soon so did Helga, then she said, "See you in the morning." Then they both went to sleep.

The next morning when everyone woke up, they smelled pancakes and they all got dressed and went to the kitchen for breakfast. After they had all eaten, Helga said, "I'll need everyone's help.

I need Roland, Bakura, Yami, Marik to go outside and make sure that there is enough chairs for our guests, and that we have enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit on for the Reception.

Then I will need Ishizu, Mai and Tea to count the good China and make sure that there is enough place settings for everyone.

Then I will need Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Mokie to make sure that there is enough Silverware for everyone.

Now Seto and Joey, I will need you two to make sure that I made enough place settings and that everyone has the names of all our guests.

That leaves Linda, Kelly and myself to make sure that the food is cooked and that we'll have enough to feed everyone, so let's get busy."

Everyone had something to do, so when they all said that there would be enough of everything for the Wedding and Reception, Helga breathed a sigh of relief.

Helga thanked everyone for helping, then Vickie arrived with a couple of friends, they sat up a make shift hair salon in the kitchen and they fixed all the women's hair and they even cut the hair of some of the guys.

Now everything was perfect, now all they had to do was sit back and wait for the Wedding to begin, Sasha called and said, "Bakura just got here, we'll be leaving in a few minutes, is there anything you need us to bring?"

Helga smiled as she heard Sasha's voice and she said, "All we need is for you and Bakura to come, we have everything else." Sasha loved being with Bakura and his family which would soon be her family too.

As Bakura and Sasha got back, and went into the house, Serenity ran up and hugged them and then she ran off to tell Helga that they were there.

Roland and Helga came in from outside and when they saw Bakura and Sasha standing there talking to the family, Helga looked up at Roland and said, "Someone up there arranged for our son to find that beautiful angel he's marrying."

Roland smiled down at his wife and said, "Must have been the same people who sent you to me." Helga put her arms around Roland's neck and kissed him. Sasha saw them and thought, she loves Roland as much as I love Bakura.
