21. Wedding

"Will you stop fidgeting." Paula scolded her daughter.

"I can't help it!" Artemis's slightly raspy voice sounded shaky and faint. "I'm nervous."

It was the day, it was finally the day! Artemis Crock was finally getting married to Wally West and she was nervous as hell. She was in a beautiful wedding dress that flowed down to the floor. It was completely made of silk and glitter sparkled as she moved and she was wearing a silk white gloves that came all the way up to her elbow. In her hand was a flower of banquote. Artemis nervously sat on the chair and kept smoothing out the wrinkles of her dress ever 5 minutes and checked her make up ever 10 seconds. Artemis was never this nervous before, but than again, things change.

It's just like how the first time they met each other. The two would always get on each other's nerve. Annoy the hell out of each other just for their musement. But after the mission in Bialya something changed, something clicked. They annoyed and irritated each other less and actually have civil conversation without breaking into an all out arguement and share...moments.

It wasn't a huge surprise when the two started to date because they balance each other out. But it was a shock for everyone when Wally proposed to her. Who knew the red head had in him? But now that it was the day of her wedding, she was a nerve wreck. Nerver in her life was she this nervous before. Now her mother was trying to stop her from messing up her dress or make up or hair.

"Oh Artemis," tears sprang from her mother's eyes. "You look so beautiful.

"Mom? Are you crying?"

"Of course I'm crying? What mother wouldn't cry for her daughter's wedding?" She wiped her tears away. "The day finally came and I'm glad I get to see it and be here for it."

"Mom," Artemis hugged her weeping mother. "Thank you...for everything."

"Of course."

The door opened and in came Zatanna and M'gann

"Oh! Artemis! You look so beautiful!" M'gann squealed and ran up to her.

"So, how are you feeling?" Zatanna chuckled at the pale look she got.

"I'm so nervous." Artemis sighed.

"Don't be," Zatanna smiled at her friend. She patted the archer's shoulder. "This is your day, Artemis, there's nothing to be nervous about. Don't think about it too much, that's why your more nervous."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Artemis smiled.

"Dude, will you stop fidgeting?" Dick scolded his best friend.

"Sorry," Wally murmered. "I'm just nervous."

"That's a shocker." Conner snorted, rolling his eyes. "Like how asked Artemis on your first date."

Dick laughed. "I remember that. I think I have that recorded somewhere."

"DUDE!" He shrieked, blushing madly. "...You had that recorded? When?"

"Hey, did you forget who taught me?" Dick cackled.

The door opened and Kaldur walked in.

"My apologize, I did not mean to be late my friend."

"Nah, you weren't late at all. You came at the right time," Dick grinned. "Wally was just freaking out."

That cracked a smile from Kaldur. "Do not be nervous, my friend. This is your greatest moment of your life."

"I know...it's just...what if she changes her mind?" Wally had his hands in front of his face. "What if she changes her mind in the last minute and doesn't want to get married with me?"

"Wally," Dick set a firm hand on his best friend's shoulder. "She loves you man and she will always love you. If she put up with you this long, then there's no way in hell is she going to turn her back on you now."

"You really think so?"

"I know so."

Conner shifted his head, listening to something. "Your uncle's coming."

"Wally," Barry poked his head in. "It's time, c'mon, your bride awaits you."

It was finally time.

Everyone was seated in rows of oak benches. Waiting for the bride to come. In the front of the room Wally shifted around his spot and glanced nervously at the door where Artemis and her Uncle was supposed to walk through. Dick, his best man, gave advices when he needed it. The music changed making him stiff...well, stiffer than he already was. Wally looked up to see Artemis at the door; the breath was stuck in his throat.

His girl, his soon to be wife, was radiating. She had always looked beautiful before, but today was something else. He couldn't find the right words in what he was feeling, all he could say was that she was breath taking. He watched Oliver walk Artemis down the isle. Wally smiled when he took ahold of her hand.

"You look beautiful."

Artemis, behind her veil, blushed.

"Thanks."

"We are gathered here today..."
