Chapter 7
***Wedding Day***
I am in Ma's old room and Miss Viv is in there with me helping me get ready. "Thank you for this Miss Viv." I say as she cups my face. "Little one, you are the only daughter I have. It means the world to me that you want me to be here." she says. "I wouldn't do this without you here." I tell her and he pulls me into a hug. We hear a knock on the door and she let's Rane in. "You ready Squirt?" I shake my head and laugh. "Been ready for years." I tell him and he smiles softly. "Look, kid. I love you. I know you've been through some shit but that man out there, he loves you. He needs you as much as you need him. I wish you two nothing but love and happiness." he tells me as he hugs me. "Thank you Bubby." I say. Pulling away Miss Viv walks up and says "I'm going to take my seat. See you out there mon amour." she says before kissing my cheek and walking out the door. "Let's do this." I say and Rane holds out his arm for me to take and we walk out to the altar.
Thirty minutes later, we are husband and wife and he's not letting me leave his side. We cut the cake and talk to everyone and a few hours later, Rane says "Alright folks. It's time to call it a night so the newlyweds can start their honeymoon." They all tell us goodbye and Miss Viv hugs me and says "I'm proud of you mon amour." Kissing my cheek she makes her leave. When everyone is gone, Happy pulls me to the bedroom. "Time to claim my wife." he tells me and I can't help but smile. He lays me down and kisses me softly before deepening the kiss. Slowly we start shedding clothes before he enters me. He slowly makes love to me and it's so out of character for him. When we both reach our release, he kisses me softly before pulling out of me and says "I love you Mrs Lowman." I smile and say "I love you more Happy. More than you know." He lays beside me, on his side and I snuggle into his chest. "I can't believe we're married." he says. "Took you long enough." I say and we both start laughing. "That it did little girl. You know you're my Queen. You always have been." he says. "I know my King. I always will be." I tell him. We spend the rest of the night making love and just talking.
The next morning, we wake up and head to the diner to get breakfast. As we sit in the booth, he sits across from me and I just look at him while he looks at the menu. He looks up at me and asks "What?" I smile and say "Just looking at my husband." He smirks and says "What do you want to eat wife?" I laugh and say "The breakfast platter." Nodding, he places our orders and the waitress walks away. Holding my hand across the table I say "I want to visit Ma." He smiles at me and says "After we eat, we'll go." and I nod. After we eat, we get back on the bike and head to the cemetery. Walking up to her stone, I lower myself to my knees next to her grave and Happy sits down next to me. "Hey Ma. I'm home." I say as I touch the stone. Happy doesn't say anything. Just lets me talk to her. "I finally came back to Happy. Got married yesterday in your garden. I can still feel you all over that place. It's still home. I miss you Ma. I really wish you could have been here. But don't worry, we plan on giving you plenty of grandbabies to watch over. They'll know who you are and how wonderful you are. I promise I won't leave again." I say. I go to stand and Happy stands and helps me up. I kiss the stone and say "duerme dulce con los ángeles mamá." I look at Happy and he smiles. "I used to hate when you and her spoke in Spanish." he says. "I know. We did it so you wouldn't know what we were saying about you." I say as I head to the bike. "What did you and her say?" he asks. "Just talked about how you were crazy for not marrying me and giving me babies." I say smirking. "Well, looks like I finally caught up." he says before kissing me softly. We head back to the house and spend the next few days making love all over the house and just being together before heading back to Charming.
