Chp.3 Planning the wedding
Rachel and Brad walk in the door and start talking to Chris and Bianca about their wedding plans.
"So we decided that we are going to have the wedding here. It will be small, just family and close friends. So it's us, Aunt Billie, Z, Syd, Skye, Carson and Jack."
"Cool" Chris and Bianca said at the same time.
"What about Coop , Henry and …Leo?" Bianca asking saying the last name as softly as possible.
"I would like all of them to be here but I know it still hurts for Henry to be in this house and I do not want to put him in a bad place. I would love for my dad to walk me down the aisle but I have not seen him in three years." Rachel says avoiding the touchy subject of Leo.
"I am going dress shopping later with Z and Syd, would you like to come, Bianca?" Rachel asks.
"Sure" Bianca replies.
"Have you set a date yet?" Chris asks.
"We are thinking about three or four months from now." Replies Brad. "I know that Rachel wants a summer wedding."
Brad and Chris both look up at the ceiling then look at each other. Bianca and Rachel both know that look well. Brad and Chris are being summoned by the elders.
"We have to go." Brad says as they both orb away.
Bianca and Rachel grab their jackets and purses and head out the door. They both head down the driveway and into Rachel's light blue convertible Bug. Rachel pulls out of the driveways and head to a small bridal shop in downtown San Francisco. Rachel pulls into a parking space right in front of the shop and both girls get out of the car. They head into the store to find Syd and Z sitting on couches in the lobby.
"Hey, long time no see" Z jokes.
"Nice, seeing you again to and thanks for saving my butt on that case with the demon agent Elizabeth Delagato." Rachels says with a smile.
Z is a police officer that is in the know of the magical world. Z , Rachel and Syd have been close friends since starting junior high school.
"No problem"
"Thanks for coming everyone. This was a really hard decision to make and I did not take it lightly. But I have decided that Z will be my maid of honor. I also decided that I will use my mom's wedding dress. so we do not need to stay here any longer. Let's go down to Chanel and get you guys some sexy brides maids dresses."
The girl spent all afternoon looking for dresses. They all agreed on a strapless black gown with riching at the waist that is a straight cut and ends right above the knee. Bianca and Rachel headed back home to find that Chris and Brad were still not home. Rachel excused herself and headed up the stairs to her room. She went into her closet and pulled out her mother's dress. she stepped out of the closet to find Brad standing in front of her bed (because Chris would not let them share a bed so he slept in Paige's old room) with a dozen of red roses.
"What is wrong? I know you well enough to know that you always bring roses when something is wrong."
"The elders will not let us get married; they do not want another whitelighter marrying a witch. They do not want another Wyatt to happen." Brad replies.
"That is not fair. They let Chris and Bianca get married and he is a whitelighter and she is an ex witch assassin. They let my mom marry one of the many Cupids in the world. We will elope if it comes to that."
Rachel starts to cry, she had already changed into her pj's so she tucked herself under the covers. Brad changes into his as well and lies in bed next to her.
"Rach, we will have a wedding and we will get married hopefully sooner rather than later."
He gives her a kiss on the cheek and falls asleep.
Rachel wakes up with a tray of pancakes and eggs on a tray in front of her with a rose lying on Brad's pillow as well. Brad walks in and sits next to her on the bed.
"Do you like the surprise?"
"Yes, I do thank you" She says then kisses him lightly on the lips."I think we should have our honeymoon in Rome if we ever get married."
"Rach, don't think like that maybe if we show them what great parents we are they will let us get married."
Someone knocks on the door and Chris walks in five seconds later.
"Have you heard the bad news, Squirt?"
"Yes, we cannot get married because Wyatt is a butthole and had to turn all evil. Is there anything I cannot blame him for?"
"That is bad news but that was not the bad news I was referring too. Wyatt has the whole demonic under world after you to either kill you or turn you evil. If I wasn't good I would so be after to the bounty isn't too shabby." Chris says.
"Oh great! I am going to die before I turn twenty three next month and before I get married. I swear this day just keeps getting better and better." She says not hiding the sarcasm in her voice.
Chris walks out of the room and heads upstairs to the attic.
"To make it up for last time I cancelled on you would you like to go to dinner tonight?" Brad asks me.
There was a loud bang upstairs in the attic and Chris screams for help.
"Too late" Rachel says while walking up the stairs towards the attic. Rachel steps into the room and a fireball is thrown at her, she deflects it and the demon blows up instantaneously.
"That was way too easy. But I really do not care right now. It looks like dinner is back on."
"I have a reservation for six so let's try to leave the manor around five thirty."
"Okay love you" Rachel says as she begins to walk down the stairs.
Suddenly a pink heart and orbs appear in front of her. She backs up into the room. Coop and Leo appear in the room and Chris's expression turn from happy to sour at the sight of Leo.
"Uncle Coop and Leo what a nice surprise. What are you doing here?" Chris asks trying to hide his annoyance.
"Well, I have come to congratulate my daughter on her engagement." Coop says.
"Where have you been the past few years, dad? Being here right now does not make up for not being there on important non-love related events."
"I have been busy and I am sorry I neglected my fatherly duties but I am here now." Coop replies.
"For how long though?"
A demon appears in the room and their conversation is interrupted by the demon throwing a knife into Rachel's back literally. She falls forward into Coops arms as Leo runs over to heal her back.
"Again why am I always the only one who ever get hurt?"
Chris tries to move the demon to hit the back wall but his hand cramps up so he closes his fist instead. The demon drops running out of air then finally explodes after a few seconds. Chris stares at his hand bewildered.
"Yes, I finally have a new power!" Chris says in excitement.
"Oh this should be fun he has the power to choke people."
