Tom was in his office working as usual when his door opened abruptly, he look up and saw his mother walking towards his desk with a newspaper in hand.
"So I heard you got engage, well more like read about it." She said putting the newspaper in front of him, there was a picture of him and Kim announcing their engagement. "As always I'm the last one to find out about these things, since your father seem to know already about this." Delia said taking a seat in one of the chairs.
"I would tell you about these things if you were more supportive." Tom said.
"Thomas you think I don't care at all about you, but you are wrong about that, I just worry about you, I don't want people to hurt you." Tom's mother said.
"The first one that's hurting me is you, by not supporting my decisions." Tom said.
"I just want what's best for you." She said.
"Well maybe Kim is what's best for me, but you won't give her an opportunity." Tom said.
"That's why I came here today to apologize to you." She said looking sad "I'm sorry that I haven't been supporting you or listening to you like I should have."
"I'm confused, are you honestly apologizing?" Tom asked his mother perplexed.
"Yes, Helena, Kims grandmother came to see me yesterday, she had a serious talk with me and made me see the mistake I was making, she told me what she went through when they disowned Alec, how sad it all was and how sorry she was and I'm even more sorry of the way I treated him when he started going out with Evelyn, you have to understand that this is the way my parents raise me, it's difficult for me to accept change and what's different." Delia said.
"Wow, I'm really shock, I wasn't really expecting an apology from you." Tom said.
"I can't believe it either but either I apologize or I lose you and I really don't want to lose you, all the things I have done through the years is because I love you, you and your sister. So if it means I have to accept Kim in the family so be it." She said.
"Are you serious?" Tom asked completely surprise.
"Dead serious, now when are you planning to get married?" She asked.
"Oh no, I know where you are going with that question, this is our wedding not yours." Tom said.
"I just want to help." Delia said.
"I know the way you help, you will want everything to be the way you want it and it's not going to happen." Tom said.
"I always envisioned you getting married in the garden." She said.
"What garden? The mansions garden? Not going to happen, we are getting married in Ireland." Tom said.
"Ireland?" Delia asked confuse.
"Yes there is where we met and Kim's grandparents live there so…" Tom said.
"Didn't you ask her to marry you in Paris? You know a wedding in Paris will be so romantic." Delia said.
"Mother!" Tom said using a warning tone.
"Fine! I won't interfere in your plans but I would like to be part of it." Delia said
"Only part nothing more, I have to meet Kim for lunch, you are welcome to joins us." Tom said while putting on his jacket.
"Lunch sounds like a good idea, I'm starving." She said walking towards the door.
Kim was waiting for Tom in the small café. She suddenly panicked when she saw his mother next to him.
"Hi." Kim said standing of the chair a little too quick "Is nice to see you Mrs. Oliver, I didn't know we were going to have company." She said looking at Tom.
"Hi Kimberly and you can call me Delia after all I'm going to be your mother in law." Delia said.
"I'm so confuse." Kim said like she was lost.
Tom chuckled at Kim's expression "Mom came to talk to me today, your grandmother paid her a visit."
Delia interrupted Tom "I just wanted to apologize for the way I have behave towards you and your parents."
"Really?" Kim asked looking still confuse.
"Yes, I'm being very honest, I know that I treated you badly at the charity ball and I'm sorry about that, I was really embarrassing myself, I won't deny that I do care what the others think of me but Tom is my son and he comes first and I don't really want to disown him for something that makes him happy besides his father is 100 percent by his side." Delia said.
"Well then I accept your apology" Kim said she looked around "we should sit down." They all sat in a little table the waitress came and took their orders.
"Can I see the ring?" Delia asked.
"Sure." Kim said showing her her left hand.
"Its vintage found it in Las Vegas." Tom said while his mother scrutinized the ring.
"Well I have to say it's beautiful." Delia honestly said.
"Thanks" Kim said.
"So for what I have seen in the papers you are a performer?" Delia asked Kim.
"Yeah you can say that I am, I'm an acrobat actually." Kim said.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Delia asked alarmed.
"It is but I have never had an accident and they try to keep us as safe as they can." Kim answered.
"And now that you are marring Tom, haven't you considered another job?" Delia asked curiously.
"Mom!" Tom said warningly.
"It's ok Tom, I don't mind answering her and I really think she is just concern." Kim said trying to calm Tom down. "Well Delia, I'm not going to lie, I mean I love performing but I'm not going to do this forever, eventually I will be replace, I honestly don't know If I will move on before that happens, I don't know, I guess I'll see how things will go once we get marry, if I consider that it conflicts with our marriage I won't mind leaving the circus and if we eventually have kids then I don't really have a problem leaving the circus to take care of them." Kim replied to the question.
"I actually like your answer." Delia said. "So I see you guys haven't discarded having kids."
"No we haven't but we are not expecting them soon either maybe like in 2 to 4 years." Tom answered.
"That's the smartest choice, you shouldn't rush into having them, you should get use to each other first." Delia said. "So Kim, Tom told me that you guys are getting married in Ireland, he already told me to back down, but I really would like to be able to help you with it I promise that I won't try to take control of it." Delia said.
"Well we are getting married in a castle in Wicklow my grandparents live there and is also were we met I really want a small wedding only family and close friends." Kim said.
"Ok, I can deal with that." Delia said smiling.
Tom couldn't believe his mother was acting this way, it was like she was brainwash or something, he wondered what Kim's grandmother had told her because his mother changed completely.
"So I have to go, your father must be waiting for me." Delia said standing up "Kim, let me know if you need anything. Oh you know what? Why don't you let me buy you the wedding dress?"
"Oh no, thanks." Kim said.
"Oh come on it will be my wedding gift to you as an apology." Delia said.
"It really is not necessary, you don't need to do that." Kim said.
"Please just let me buy you the dress and I promise I won't bother you with anything else" Delia said.
"Ok but only because you insist." Kim finally accepted. She really hope it wasn't a bad thing cause this meant that she was accompanying her to buy the dress which meant her mother was going to be there, fortunately her mother is very forgiving but still she hopes is not going to be awkward.
Tom tried not to intervene, he just hoped his mother meant well and wasn't doing it for her own advantage.
"Well mother, say hi to dad for me." Tom said. Delia left and Tom sat back down.
"Kim if you don't want her to buy the dress let me know, I have no problem telling her." Tom said.
"Don't worry, it doesn't bother me, I'm just worried about my mother and her being in the same place but you know what? If we are going to get married they will have to see each other eventually so better sooner than later. That way they will be able to work out their differences before the wedding." Kim said.
"I guess you are right about that." Tom said. "I can't believe the way she is behaving it's so unlike her, I wonder what Helena said to her." Tom wondered.
"Who knows but it worked. I'm just happy that we are getting along, I thought that was never going to happen." Kim said "At least we will have our whole family in the wedding." She said smiling.
"Finally a bit of peace, well I know Rocky will end up ruin it, he always does." He said joking, Kim laughed. They stay for a little longer and then Tom went back to work and Kim to the cirque for rehearsal.
After a couple of weeks Kim went to try wedding dresses, Delia made an appointment for her with a very exclusive wedding dress designer, she was waiting with her mother, grandmother, Trini and Aisha for Milena and Delia to arrive.
Delia and Milena arrived a couple of minutes later.
"Hi everyone." Delia greeted everyone then she went to greet Kims mother "Evelyn it's been such a long time, listen I'm so sorry for the way I treated you and Alec and I'm sorry that I did the same to Kim, I really wouldn't like it if someone treated my daughter like that and I'm really really sorry, I hope we can move forward."
Evelyn looked at Delia for a while and then said "Thanks for the apology Delia, I really appreciate it, I'm just happy that after so many years things have started to change and it seems that's all thanks to Kim and Tom finding each other, otherwise things wouldn't have change, my husband has his mother and father back, I couldn't ask for more, I'm really glad that you are here supporting your son."
"You don't think I'm prying right? Because maybe you wanted to buy Kim her dress." Delia asked honestly.
"Oh no, I don't mind, I think is a nice gesture." Evelyn said.
"Great, well the designer is waiting for us in, come on." Delia said walking towards the atelier, the others followed her.
"Delia, what a pleasure to see you here." he said kissing her in both cheeks "Milena, as beautiful as always." He said greeting her the same way then he looked at Helena, Kim's grandmother "Helena, haven't seen you in years, heard your granddaughter is getting married."
"Marcel, isn't it lovely to see you? In fact yes, this is my granddaughter Kimberly." Helena presented Kim "and this is her mother Evelyn and her two best friends Aisha and Trini."
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Marcel Andre, so I finally meet the girl who stole Thomas heart, I thought that boy was going to die alone, he's one tough nut to crack, I must say he's a lucky guy he found a really beautiful girl."
Kim blushed. "Thanks."
"So tell me Kim, may I call you Kim?" He asked
"Of course, everyone calls me that anyways." Kim said.
"Well Kim what kind of dress are you looking for? I have a couple of dresses here you can try on and then we can make some sketches and make the perfect dress for you." Marcel explained.
"Um well, I have been looking at dresses and I really like the trumpet style ones but I'm open to other suggestions, I'm willing to try almost anything, I prefer something simple but beautiful. We are getting married in Ireland in a castle, so something that goes with that will be great too." Kim said.
"A castle in Ireland, now that's romantic, well I'm getting an image of the perfect dress for you, but first I want you to try a couple of dresses so we can see how you look and what suits you best, I want you to look stunning in your wedding and I promise you that I will do my best to achieve that." Marcel said.
"Well I'm ready." Kim said, Marcel signaled Kim to follow him he show her a couple of dresses while the others sat waiting. Kim started trying on dresses. She show them a couple of dresses they oh and awe until she put on one of the dresses, it was trumpet style and when she came out all of them went crazy with it."
"Kim you look so beautiful." Kims mother said smiling brightly.
"I don't think you need to try anything more, Marcel this is the style she needs." Helena said.
"I know, the silhouette looks great on her, Kim is this what you want? Cause everyone seems to adore this one and I must say you look beautiful in it." Marcel said
"Come on Kim you have to pick this one, you look amazing sister." Aisha said.
"Yeah Kim really, I cannot see you in something else, this is it." Trini said.
"I agree, Marcel will make you look absolutely amazing when he's done." Milena said.
"Well I guess this is it then, I really love it." Kim said smiling.
"My brother will die when he sees you." Milena said.
"Marcel when can you have the dress ready?" Delia asked.
"When is the wedding?" He asked.
"Is in 5 months, do you think that's enough time for you? Cause I know you must have other dresses to finish." Kim asked
"Don't worry about that sweetheart; I'll have your dress ready by then." Marcel assured her. "Now we should sit-down so I can get an idea of what this dress will look like."
Kim sat for a while with Marcel and he sketched what was supposed to be Kim's dress for the wedding, he finished the sketch and Kim went to have lunch with the others since they were all starving. After that was done Kim went to the loft with Trini and Aisha and her mother, grandmother and Toms mother went to talk for a while in a café, Milena went back to her house.
"So girls, what do you want to wear? I mean I'm going to let you guys pick the colors but they have to be you know cohesive." Kim said asking Trini and Aisha.
"I don't really care, when we go dress shopping we'll see what there is so you know it really doesn't matter to me unless you have something particular in mind Aisha." Trini said.
"No not really." She said.
"Tom insisted in paying for the dresses. So you guys don't have to worry about spending money on them." Kim said.
"I love your fiancé so much; can you find me one like him? God Kim you are so lucky. I'm so happy for you." Aisha said and hugged her "this is so crazy a couple of months ago who would have thought you were going to get married? But I did tell you in Ireland you were going to end up marrying Tom didn't I?"
"Yeah you did, I still remember, I was so petrified about the idea of going out with him. I mean I remember when I met him that all I wanted to do was punch him, he was such an idiot and arrogant, the stupid comments he made, they made my blood boil and then he asked me out I was so confuse about it all." Kim said.
"I would have love to see him right there." Trini said.
"It's a shame you didn't, Kim didn't back off at all, she wasn't afraid of him and that made him mad like you have no idea. I think that's what attracted him to you." Aisha said pointing to Kim.
"And in spite of it all, he really is a nice man, and I think that I will never find someone in this world that adores me like he does and I love that he doesn't hide who he is, he is just the way he is. Arrogant and all." Kim said laughing. Her phone ringed, it was Tom he was downstairs, she told him to go up.
Kim opened the door for him "Hey" she said and hugged him.
"Hey Aisha, Trini." Tom greeted them.
"Hi Tom, Kim told us you were paying for our bridesmaid dresses, thanks, you know you can buy us whatever you want whenever you want, you know the other day I saw this pair of cute shoes that will go fantastically with one of my bags." Aisha said.
Tom laughed at her cheekiness "well you are my future wife best friends after all and I told Kim you guys could get whatever you guys wanted shoes, jewelry, anything."
"Tom don't tell Aisha that she'll end up buying a car and a house if you let her." Kim said.
Tom laughed "So did everything went well today?"
"Yeah more than well, your mother got along just fine with my mother, they went to eat after we left." Kim replied.
"Great! What about the wedding dress?" Tom asked.
"Marcel will have it ready for the wedding. It's perfect." Kim said.
"I can't wait to see you in it!" Tom said. "I wanted to see you before I go back to work, so I have to go now."
"Oh ok, thanks for coming. I'll go with you downstairs then." Kim said taking his hand and walking towards the door. They arrive to his car Tom kissed her while the paparazzis took pictures of them, Tom got in the car and left, Kim didn't care that much about them, she was getting use to them at least they weren't aggressive with her at all and she got along with all of them. There was nothing really she could do to avoid them so she decided to become friend with them of course with caution.
"Kim, how are you?" one of the paparazzi asked.
"I'm great Peter." Kim answered smiling "Hey guys." She said greeting all the rest of them. "You guys all seem hungry, looks like you have been waiting here for a good picture."
"Yeah you have no idea, we have been waiting for a good shot of you and Tom all day, we never know when he's coming, better be ready." Jake, another paparazzi, said.
Kim only laughed at his sincerity "Well I'll treat you all to doughnuts and coffee, there is a great bakery around the corner, Come on." She said walking to the bakery, they all follow her. The paparazzi loved her, she was really nice to them all and they respected her because of that.
Next day Kim went to visit Tom at his office. He was arranging some papers when she came in his office.
"So are you ready?" Kim asked.
"Yeah I have to sign a paper but that's quick I just have to give it to Haley and she'll take care of the rest." He found the paper and signed it, stood up, gave Kim a quick peck on the lips took her hand and went straight to Haley and handed her the paper.
"So I have been hearing you are hanging out with paparazzis, is this true? Cause, Ryan, a college friend told me he thinks he saw you eating doughnuts with them in a bakery." Tom asked with curiosity it was really weird and at the same time it scared him.
"Um, well it is true, I sometimes hang out with them, whenever they find me, I just figured that its best to be friends with them than an enemy, makes everything easier for me, does it bother you?" Kim answered honestly not knowing how he was going to take it.
Tom really was amaze by Kim, sometimes he thought she was crazy "Well It doesn't really bother me, It worries me and scares me, I really distrust paparazzi they are always fishing for information and I don't want you to get hurt."
"We only talk about mundane things so you don't have to worry and I don't hang out with them every day, sometimes I just offer them food, chit chat and joke for a while and then leave, they are very respectful towards me really, most of them are really nice." Kim said.
Tom looked at her with a weird expression "Just be careful, some of them can be very aggressive. I know there is nothing really I can do to make you stop, you always end up doing whatever you want."
"You are right about that." Kim said.
"Please just don't invite your new friends to our wedding." Tom said joking and Kim laughed.
The months pass by and the wedding day approached. Tom flew them all to Ireland. Even though the wedding venue was amazing and all the arrangements were magnificent, the invitees were a small group of people, only family and close friends.
They all stay in a manor Kims grandparents had rented for the week. It was near the castle they were getting married. Galvin and Regan were also staying there since they live a little farther Brielle, Liam and Aidan employs at Riversides B&B were also attending the wedding but weren't staying there since they didn't live that far, Patrick and Colleen weren't staying in there either, neither was Kim's parents since they decided to stay with Evelyn parents. The rest were staying in the manor which included Tom parents, his sister with her husband and daughter, Zack, Jason and Adam and their parents since they knew Tom since he was a kid, Billy, Rocky, Trini, Aisha and Kendrew and even Kims big Dane Romeo and of course Kim grandparents.
Kim was in the room she was sharing with Aisha and Trini "Only three more days before you become Mrs. Oliver." Trini teased her "how are you feeling?"
"I'm so nervous like you have no idea, this is such a big step, I won't be living with you guys anymore I'm going to be living with Tom for the rest of my life now!" Kim said panicking. "OH my god am I doing the right thing?" Kim paced back and forward.
"Kim calm down, I have never been married before but I think is completely normal you feel this way, it is a huge change but it doesn't mean it is a bad one, you'll be living with the man you love for now on." Aisha said trying to calm her down. "and you can come visit us whenever you want in a helicopter."
"What if I can handle all the responsibility? I mean all those business diners he has to attend, the charity events and galas and stuff like that, maybe I'm not right for him, maybe he needs someone more like him, I'm an acrobat for god sakes, I have no idea what I'm doing, I know he will regret it." Kim was still pacing and panicking.
Trini put both her hands in her shoulders to try to calm her "Kim look at me, breathe deeply sweetheart just breath." Kim tried to listen to her but she was having a panic attack so she run to the door and went running straight to the garden hyperventilating. Tom saw her from his balcony and run to the garden to see what was wrong.
"Kim are you alright?" He asked scare, she was breathing heavily and was holding her heart as if she was having a heart attack.
"I think I'm having a panic attack." Kim replied, Tom went to her and hugged her not so hard so she could breathe, he tried to calm her down with words and caresses. Eventually Kims aggressive beating heart slow down and she calmed down.
"Are you feeling better?" Tom asked when he finally felt her relax in his arms.
"Yes, much better." Kim said hugging Tom hard. Holding on him for live.
"What happen? Did someone do something to you?" Tom asked concerned holding her face in his hands.
"No, I just panicked, we are getting married in three days and I'm so scare! What if I can't handle your lifestyle? everyone will make fun of you, there are a lot of things I know I'm going to have to get use to, because lets be honest becoming your wife will mean I'll have to make a lot of sacrifices and I know that and it doesn't bother me because, I'll do anything for you but what if I'm not good enough? What if its too much for me?" Kim asked paranoid.
"Don't worry about that Kim, you are more than good enough for me, no one in this world can take your place, and I don't want you to sacrifice too much for me, if it becomes too hard for you we will see how we will handle it even if it means I have to sacrifice some things, I told you I was going to take care of you and that's what I intend to do, you are my priority from now on, all the other things are secondary to me." Tom said "I'm not going to let you back down."
"Are you sure? I mean are you absolutely sure? Cause this is a big step." Kim asked still unsure.
Tom smiled at her and kisser her "Of course I'm sure, I have never been more sure of anything in my life, I'm ready for this, I'm ready to share my life with you." Tom said not needing to say anything more.
Kim smiled at him and kissed him putting her arms around him "I love you so much." She said "I really am ready to marry you and to start a new life with you and of course Romeo."
Tom laughed "I'm glad to hear that and I love you too. You are so beautiful you know? I can look at you all day and not get tired." He said looking her in the eyes with all the love in the world before she could say something he kissed her again. They stood in the garden holding each other and kissing for a while.
Tom went back to his room after making sure she was fine, Jason, Adam and Zack were in it watching tv.
"Is Kim ok?" Jason asked. He was in the balcony with Tom when they saw Kim run to the garden.
"Yeah she is fine, she was freaking out because we are getting married in a couple of days." Tom replied taking a seat.
"Normally the groom is the one that freaks out." Adam said.
"If I was Kim, I'd freak out too, I mean who in their right mind marries Tom?" Zack joked.
Ha, ha ha very funny Zack, if I may say so, I'm a very good catch, I'm handsome and wealthy and most important a good man." Tom said.
"Yes definitely a very good catch, a very proud man not at all modest." Zack said shaking his head.
"Did you do some voodoo on Kim. Cause I mean really? I hope she knows what she is getting into." Adam said. They all laughed.
"Seriously I think is normal, that she is scare I mean, it is a very abrupt change, she leads a very bohemian lifestyle and now she will be expose to all the luxury that surrounds you and if I may say so luxury doesn't seem to attract her, I think she is scare that this changes her, I mean she loves her friends and her family dearly maybe she is afraid of losing them and losing herself in this world." Jason said from his perspective.
"Well I love her the way she is and I don't want her to change because of me." Tom said.
"The reality is Tom she will have to make some changes only because they will make her life and yours easier and let's be honest she will be exposed to a new world from now on and she knows that, you know Tom you are really lucky she is willing to make some huge changes for you." Jason said.
"I guess you are right about that." Tom sat there thinking deeply about what Jason said.
"I'm always right aren't I?" Jason said.
"You should be the one getting married not Tom." Zack said.
The next day Kim was in the kitchen eating breakfast when Galvin came in.
"Morning Kimmy." He said when he saw her.
"Morning Galvin." Kim said back.
"So you are getting married heh?" He asked playfully.
"Yeah apparently that's why we are all here." Kim replied the same way.
"I'm still hurt ye now, I'm a masochist for being here, why would I want to see you get married to that monkey?" Galvin joked.
"Yeah well this way you'll accept it and get over it and that way you'll be able to open your heart to a nice Gaelic girl, hey what about Brielle huh? She is very pretty, curly long red hair, nice shape." Kim said.
"Brielle are you kidding me, yeah she is pretty but I don't want Liam to kill me." Galvin said.
"Liam likes Brielle? I didn't know that." Kim said.
"Yeah, so are ye ready for tomorrow cause if you are not I have my truck in the back, I can't take you to Dingle and no one will find you, I promise I won't say a word of where I put ye." Galvin said conspiratorially.
Kim laughed "Thanks but no, I'm fine, but I'll keep that in mind just in case." Tom came in the kitchen just then.
"Good morning am I interrupting anything?" He asked giving Kim a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Tom, no ye are not interrupting anything, I'm just trying to steal you bride from you, like always, nothing new really." Galvin said.
Tom rolled his eyes "Yeah you don't give up do you? Well unfortunately for you she picked me." Tom kept the false argument up.
"Don't worry me friend shell eventually leave you for me." Galvin said.
"Keep dreaming my friend, dreaming never hurt nobody." Tom said.
"Good morning people." Rocky said entering the kitchen with Billy.
"Rocky my man." Galvin said.
"Hey so what's up are you fighting for Kim again?" Rocky asked.
"Well he is, cause I have no reason to fight, we are getting married and hell just have to accept it." Tom said cockily.
"Kim do you really want to marry Mr. arrogant here?" Galvin giving Kim and incredulous look.
"Yeah I already accepted him with that default. Some how I'm attracted to his arrogance maybe I will regret It later." Kim said playing there game.
Tom tickled her "a default?" Kim slapped his hands away.
"Good morning what is everyone doing here in the kitchen?" Robert, Toms father appear out of nowhere.
"Hey dad nothing, we are just chatting."
"Hey Bob, you know? Your son is the proudest man I have ever met, he is extremely sure of himself." Galvin said to Robert.
"I know, he gets that from his mother's side, so please don't blame me." Robert said and they all laughed.
The wedding day finally arrive, Kim was in her room getting ready accompany by her mother, grandmothers, mother in law, sister In law, her future niece and bridesmaids, Marcel the designer of her dress and Maxime the stylist that did her hair and makeup for Zack's charity event. Marcel delivered the dress by himself, Tom arrange for him to come in one of their private jets. Kim looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown, the dress was strapless trumpet style in lace that hugged her body in all the right places, accentuating her curves and still letting her face shine, it was simple yet elegant and beautiful but still the dress didn't outshine her, she was the most important part of the dress.
Maxime did her makeup flawlessly, her face looked perfect, he didn't over do it, he only apply what was necessary and her hair he did a side ponytail so her face was exposed.
Kim's mother was crying uncontrollably "You look so beautiful Kim."
"Mom calm down I'm only getting married is not the end of the world." Kim said trying to calm her mother down.
"I'm just so happy for you, come here." Evelyn said and hugged Kim hard.
"Evelyn dear, careful with her hair." Helena said.
"Sorry I just can't help it." She said.
"Is ok mom." Kim said.
"This marriage is a blessing to all of us, it has brought us all together ones again." Evelyn said.
Kims grandmother, Helena, came forward with a box in her hand. "Kim this is a gift from your grandfather and me, we want you to have it." She opened the box and inside was a small tiara with diamonds in shape of flowers it was beautiful and delicate "This tiara has belong to the Harts household since 1819 and now it belongs to you." She took the tiara and carefully place it in Kim's head.
Kim looked amaze at the tiara. "Shouldn't you give it to my brother then? He is the one that will carry the name."
"He cannot wear it, I rather you have it, you are a Hart and who knows who his next wife will be, I heard about his first one. Besides I'm sure you can appreciate it more than he ever will." Helena said.
"Thanks, don't worry I'll take good care of it." Kim said giving her a hug. Alec, Ken and Patrick came to see Kim before the wedding.
"Hey little sister, you look amazing." Ken said "I hope you have more luck than I did."
"She doesn't need it, you were just young and stupid." Alec, Kim's, father said to Ken.
"Yeah dad I know I learn my lesson." Ken said.
"Thank God that copper top eejit didn't give you a son." Patrick reprimanded.
"Yes I know, I was an idiot we don't have to remember those days, we are here for Kim and we should concentrate on her." Ken said defensively. They all laughed at his defensiveness.
We should go downstairs, the ceremony starts in half an hour." Delia said. They all follow her downstairs, they were in one of the castles rooms already. At the same time Tom was in the opposite wing.
"Hey Tom how are you feeling?" Jason asked. Zack, Adam, Toms dad and brother in law were waiting with Tom in one of the rooms "Are you nervous?"
"Not really, I'm just very happy." Tom responded.
"You are going to be a married man in less than an hour, you won't be cool anymore." Zack said. "I guess will see you less and less from now on."
"That's the live of a married man." David, Toms brother in law, said patting Tom's back.
"Yeah well that doesn't sound that bad, a break from all of you." Tom said joking.
"Well son, this is it, is almost time, I must say you pick a good one, I can tell, I'm amaze how much this little feisty woman has change your life for good, I didn't like the way you use to live, working yourself to exhaustion and unhappy, I thought I was going to die and never get to see you happy." Robert, Tom dad said.
"Well that's all in the past, I'm really happy dad, I see things so different now, I view life differently and I don't feel unhappy anymore, I used to be so mad all the time, everything irritated me and she just changed it all, I really can't understand why, I guess that's what love does to you it makes you see things from another perspective." Tom said.
"Now I want to fall in love too." Adam said. Tom laughed there came a knock on the door and Jason opened the door it was Adriana, Toms little niece.
"Hey uncle Tom!" She said running to her uncle, he picked her up.
"Munchkin, what's up? You look absolutely beautiful." Tom said.
She blushed and smile "Thanks, grandma told me to tell you that they are ready and that you should come downstairs so the ceremony can start."
"Well thanks for coming to tell us." Tom said smiling at her, her father came and took her in his arms.
"Hey sweetheart you look like a princess. Is your mom downstairs also?" David asked his daughter.
"Yes, they are all downstairs, mommy looks beautiful in her red dress." Adriana said. Aisha, Trini and Milena ended up picking different style of dresses but they were all the same deep red since the color looked great on all three.
"I bet she does, can't wait to see her." David said "I'll go downstairs with her to tell them we are coming." he told the others as he left the room.
"Adriana is such a cutie." Zack said.
"She has my blood, she has to be." Tom said "So this is it I guess. I'll be a married man soon. Come on guys." Tom said walking out the room downstairs. The women were in a room waiting for them to go outside so they went to where the ceremony was taking place in the castles garden. Almost everyone were in place, there were Toms and Kim's family members and close friends. Adam and Zack sat in the front row while Jason stood next to Tom as his best man.
Kim was inside with the other women, Kim's grandmothers, mother and Delia left to take their seats plus David who was also with them left with Kim's brother. Only the bridesmaids and Kim's father stayed. The first to go down the aisle was Adriana, since she was the flower girl after her went Milena, followed by Trini and then Aisha, who was the maid of honor, then came Kim with her father.
When Tom saw her he couldn't believe she could look more beautiful than she already was, she took his breath away, the dress looked perfect on her, her face radiated in it, she looked so delicate and stunning, he couldn't believe this outstanding woman was about to become his wife, he felt like the luckiest man in the world.
Kim saw him standing in the front, he left her breathless, he looked so handsome in his tux, he looked happier than she had ever seen him, and that to her made him even more attractive, no one knew who Tom really was, they all thought he was just proud but she knew that there was more to him that meets the eye, he had a beautiful heart and he could be tender and sweet, he respected her and treated her right, he was a good listener and he wasn't afraid to let her know his feelings he didn't hide them, he even let her know when he was scared. She felt protected and loved with him, she was so in love with this man, she felt attached to him, she couldn't live without him. She was happy to share her life with him, she wasn't scare anymore cause she knew it was the right thing.
She started walking with her father towards Tom, when they arrive right where he was Alec gave Tom his daughter's hand. "Take good care of my girl Thomas." Alec said.
"Don't worry I will." Tom said looking at Alec then he looked at Kim "You look so beautiful."
Kim gave him one of her brightest smiles "You don't look bad yourself."
They went through all the rituals of a wedding ceremony, they both did their vows, exchanged rings, they shared the first kiss as a married couple and finally were pronounced husband and wife.
After they were pronounce Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, they stood there kissing, they were both extremely happy, they turn around and marched to where the reception was being held which was on the other side of the garden under a big tent, it had a bohemian yet elegant look to it, cozy and rustic, with an Irish twists since they were in Ireland. They were going to spend only half of the reception there, the food was being serve in there, later they were going to move inside the castles ball room so people could have more space and a floor to dance.
Kim was dancing with Tom a slow song in the ballroom, there were other people in the dance floor also. Tom hold her tenderly "I can't believe we are married." Tom said happily.
"I can't believe I have to change my last name to Oliver, it doesn't even sound like a last name is more like a first name." Kim said teasingly.
"You are already complaining? My last name is perfect ok, everyone knows it."
"Which means it's common unlike my last name which has blue blood, my last name has history, it can be trace, to you know, maybe middle ages, I have this crown to prove it, is like I'm almost a princess." Kim said trying not to laugh.
Tom laughed "Ok you win this one, I don't have a royal name and I did almost married a princess so that elevates my status, my last name now is more prestigious." Kim punched him playfully on his arm.
"So that's why you married me huh? My last name? I knew it. I want the divorce." Kim said smiling at him.
"Never, you are stuck with me forever." He said laughing. When the song finish he bent down and kissed her on the lips. "I love you." he said looking her in the eyes.
"I love you too?" She said back. "Can we get out of here? I want to spend some quality alone time with you."
"Desperate to start the honeymoon?" Tom asked teasingly.
"Honestly? Yeah." Kim said giving Tom a sensual look that made him go crazy.
"Your wish is my command." Tom said, he was starting to get excited, he desired this woman like he desired no one else. They hadn't made love, they decided to wait until their wedding day. So now their desire for each other had only increase. "I'll ask them to prepare the limo."
"So where are we going to spend the honeymoon? Since you didn't let me know before." Kim asked Tom.
"Well we are going to spend the night in a manor, not too far from here and then we are taking a jet to my family's private island in the Caribbean." Tom said.
"We are going to spend the honeymoon at a beach then?" Kim said practically jumping of joy.
"Yeah" Tom smiled confuse, he didn't thought the idea was going to make her this happy. "Why are you so happy about that? Is not like you haven't seen the beach before."
"But is not the same, the beaches are completely different, is like paradise I have never been before to the Caribbean, I can't wait! So come on lets go." She said taking his hand and walking towards the exit, everyone followed them, congratulated them one last time and say their goodbyes."
Epiloged
Tom was in his office sitting in his desk working, someone knocked softly at the door he instantly knew that the only person allow to do that was Kim. He stood up and run to the door, open it and found his beautiful wife behind it. He gave her a big bright smile. "Hey beautiful, what brings you here?" he asked letting her come into his office.
"Hey, handsome, what brings me here is my hot Greek god." Kim said playfully. She encircled her arms around his neck and kissed him, she was wearing a short red dressed that was driving him crazy. He encircled her small waist with his hands kissing her back passionately.
They had been married for 5 years now and the passion for each other only increased. He was 30 years old now and she 29, both their features had changed, to him she looked more beautiful than when they met, her face looked more mature and sharpe, making her face even more beautiful and her body had also mature, of course in a good way, he was more handsome than he was at 25, his features became stronger, he looked more built than when they met. They were definitely a couple to envy.
In the years that had passed some things changed as everything in life does, Kim eventually left her job as an acrobat and now she only helps with the choreography, since she really doesn't need to work, at least helping with choreography helps her maintain herself busy, Trini ended up marrying Jason, eventually Aisha fall for Rocky they were engaged, Zack was still single just like Billy and Adam.
So really hon, I wasn't expecting you here today but I'm glad to see you." Tom said. He couldn't be more happier with his life, she really was a big change in his life.
"I wanted to spend more time with you, since you have to go to Germany on business." Kim said.
"I'm only going for a couple of days and I told you to come with me and you refuse, you always come with me, is the first time we will be separated since we got married." Tom said giving Kim a resentful look.
"I told you I promise Malcom I was going to help with the choreography, he needs me." Kim explains.
"Why can someone else help him? Come with me, it's going to drive me crazy to be so far away from you." Tom practically begged, he couldn't stand the thought of her staying alone without him.
"I know but we have to learn to be away from each other from time to time, is not that bad." Kim said. "Well besides the fact of spending more time with you there is something I have to tell you."
"What is it?" He asked worried.
"Well remember I went to the doctor for a regular check up last week since its mandatory at the circus? Well I got the test this week and I found something that surprised me." Kim said.
"What is it?" Tom asked alarmed she looked fine to him she wasn't sick that he knew "Kim please tell me you are not going to die."
"Well who knows, you never know when you are going to die, it doesn't matter anyways because I'm pregnant!" Kim said excited.
"You are pregnant?" Tom asked perplexed "really? But you haven't show any signs."
"I know that's why I was so surprise but I am, look." She said taking a paper from her bag, the paper confirm she was indeed pregnant.
"How far along are you?" Tom couldn't believe it, he was so happy for the news.
"One month." Kim said and then Tom gathered her in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it! I'm going to be a father!" Tom said then his expression turn to worry "I can't go on that business trip, I have to stay here with you, I can't let anything bad happen to you, wait will have to go somewhere else for the next 9 months, we can't not stay here you and the baby are in danger, we can't have those paparazzi following you around, they'll endanger you and the baby."
Kim started laughing "Tom calm down, is ok, I'm going to be fine maybe when I become more rounded then we can go somewhere since it's going to be hard for me to move around with paparazzi following me. Go to Germany I'm going to be fine ill stay with my parents so you don't feel so stressed about leaving me."
"No I don't want to leave your side, I'll send someone else." Tom said.
"You are so stubborn." She knew she wasn't going to be able to change his mind and at some level she liked the fact that he didn't wanted to go nowhere because of her and the baby it made her feel warm inside and protected, he really was taking care of her and that made her fall more in love with him.
"You know I'm here for you always." Tom said and kissed her. They didn't know what the future held for them and they didn't care as long as they had each other.
