The morning sun filtered down the roots of the trees invading the sleep of the children. The Lost Girls had awoken first. There was sadness in their hearts that gleamed in their eyes like jewels welded to rocks; never falling but always there taunting the looker. Adriana had shaken the boys awake. They had to get up and ready for their departure. One by one they made it into the dining room to prepare breakfast. None of them wanted to disturb Peter and Wendy. It was their last morning together, why rip it away so soon?

The teens had stopped dreaming and opened their eyes to reality. They had awoken in an embrace. Love flowed from one and encircled her before radiating back into Peter's heart. His eyes looked deep into hers before giving her a gentle kiss. They both knew what the day held for them. Today they would lose each other until he came back to retrieve her for spring cleaning.

"Wendy I don't want to let go." She smiled softly and rested her head on his chest. The beat of his heart seemed to soothe her more than a mother's touch.

"Not yet, I want to stay right here just like this forever." Something sparked inside him. Maybe now she would stay longer? A day? A week? Maybe she would stay for all eternity in his arms, a place she can always call home and run to when she needed him most.

"Marry me Wendy." There was a jolt that sent her backwards. Wendy escaped his arms and sat back on the bed facing him. There was only seriousness in his eyes.

"You actually mean it?" He nodded and slipped from the bed trying to find something to make it official. There had to be something to hold onto this precious moment. "Peter, that would make us grown-ups. You never want to grow up." His feet stopped moving to turn back to her. She was baffled. He put a hand over his heart and just held it there.

"For you, I would do anything to keep you with me just a little while longer." Her heart fluttered and she stood up. Wendy approached him slowly in case he decided to change his mind while she walked. He hadn't, his arms opened up accepting her into them. She kissed him deeply. They were love that was all they needed to know.

"Oh Peter, wouldn't I age though?" There was a pleasant little grin that surfaced on his face.

"I can make you like me, forever my equal half." She kissed him again before they changed into something comfortable. They walked out hand-in-hand to a crowd of confused faces. The Lost girls couldn't comprehend why the eldest were the happiest when they were on the brink of separating.

"I asked Wendy to marry me." That's when all the faces dropped into realization.

"She said yes?" Alice's voice was hopeful. Peter looked down into Wendy's eyes, she grinned up at him.

"I am now. I couldn't bear leaving all of you, the thought nearly killed me." She was swarmed by little, ferocious girls who were all hugging her.

"Twins you get the boys ready, we'll take care of Wendy." There was no arguing. The boys were taken outside to go find something more presentable. Wendy was taken to the girls' room. They were pulling at her hair to make it look lovely in the light. Then came a dress. It was gorgeous something from London, not here.

"How could you possibly get this?" Wendy stood to take the dress. It was a violet-pink that went past her knees and had elbow length sleeves. She didn't need any encouragement to slide it on. The fit was perfect. She looked like a princess.

"We always had a feeling it would be needed. Turn around let us get the bow." The little bow was tide tight. Wendy looked at the mirror as they placed her necklace on. She was barefooted, but Peter would be too.

Tink had been sent away to gather rings and the boys. The girls set up an archway of flowers in front of the tree. Each flower was more beautiful than the last. A little bouquet was designed to compliment Wendy's dress. She had to match the natural beauty that radiated from the archway.

At last the boys were set up outside, except John. He came down to be with Wendy. As her brother he would be the one to take her to her new life. She was feeling light headed as the girls raced around her. They had finally set up everything and the music started.

John led Wendy from the tree and to the archway. Her eyes met Peter's he was dressed in a dress shirt with trousers. He never looked lovelier than that moment. His hand reached for hers. She took his and stood beside him. Before them was the Chief. He had come to marry the two. Tiger Lily wasn't in the audience, she couldn't bear it.

The ceremony wasn't fancy. They just had to promise to love each other always and never leave the other for any reason. The wedding had come too soon to write proper vows. Maybe if they ever renewed their vows, they could write their own? The couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife. Now they would always have each other and their entire family.

There was a small party to celebrate. What mattered most was Wendy becoming like Peter. He feared hurting her, but a little pain would be nothing if it meant everlasting love. When night had strolled in had morphed and bit her. Peter made it quick and shallow to avoid the pain. It still burned Wendy, but she too became a wolf. Her coat was a chestnut brown and extra fluffy. He took her on a run through the forest making them even closer than they could possibly imagine. This was their new life.

I am excited to say that I am now a real author with a published book! It's no Peter Pan, but I worked very hard on the story. It's a four book series and the first book can be purchased here: .
