And then finally, I was standing in front of Wally, his ocean eyes shown brightly.

High Chancellor Lincoln began his boring monologue, all of which I tuned out. Only focusing on Wally until it was time to exchange our vows.

I spoke first, " I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home."

Wally spoke next, "I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love." He said.

"Your eternal vows have been spoken," High Chancellor Lincoln, said, "You may now kiss the bride."

I melted into Wally as we relived our first kiss together.

As members of the crowd either clapped or cheered with exuberance, one hooded figure stepped forward. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw several of Wally's Knights, serving as guards, reach for the hilts of their swords.

The figure pushed the hood of her cloak back, and the faintest scent of flowers filtered through the air.

"Henrietta," I said nervously, glancing at Wally meaningfully. Wally's eyes widened in alarm, "what a…lovely surprise."

Henrietta rushed forward, her eyes glimmering with tears, her hands clasped to her bosom. "Truly this is the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. And for a love so beautiful and so pure! I have a wonderful gift for you…"

"Oh, you are too kind," Wally protested weakly, as he gripped my wrist lightly. Knowing me, I would have flown down the aisle and tackled her for crashing my wedding.

"Really, Henrietta, it's too much," I added my teeth clenched, trying to ignore the sinking feeling in my stomach. I thought she had learned her lesson. Learned that her gifts were not wonderful. That they caused more harm than they did good.

"Nonsense!" Henrietta reached into the depths of her robes, and Wally and I both winced, bracing ourselves for anything that could happen. I felt Wally lace his fingers together with mine and squeeze comfortingly. Over Henrietta's shoulder, I could see Kami glaring at the back of Henrietta's head.

"Voila!" Henrietta exclaimed, pulling out a small object, presenting it to us in the palm of her hand. It was a tiny golden box.

"A trick box," she told us with pride, "it remains the same size, but anything you put in it will fit, and only the two of you can open it."

Wally picked up the box with a hesitant smile.

"Thank you, Henrietta," I said, relieved, "it is truly a good gift."

Wally and I examined the box. It fit into the palm of a hand. It was a beautiful shade of gold and was engraved with centaurs.

"Of course it is a good gift. I only give out good gifts."

I saw Kami roll her eyes at the faerie.

"How about we go inside and continue with the festivities?" Wally suggested, leading the crowd of friends and family into the building.

I looked out at Kami, she was still standing in the courtyard, smiling at me with a huge smile. I gave her an equal one in return. I walked slowly over to her and she enveloped me into a hug.

"Oh sweetie, I am so proud of you." Kami whispered in my ear as I hugged her back.

"Thank you, Kami. For everything." I whispered back to her.

"I did nothing, Kuki." She said, pulling away and looking at me, her green eyes piercing my amethyst ones. "I was simply a lighthouse on a stormy sea, guiding the path of your boat through choppy and calm waters. I was a beacon of warmth and hope, I did nothing but help you on your journey from when you were a new born baby with the biggest lungs I have ever heard, to where you are now, the beautiful, future queen, of Kyrria." Kami said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Now, I think someone's waiting for you." She said nodding her head to the entrance. I turned around and saw Wally leaning against the door frame. He had a dopey smile on his face and I grinned back at him.

"Then let us go inside and enjoy the wonderful refreshments." I said, glancing at Kami.

"You go along sweet. There is a matter at hand that I must take care of first before I can join you." She told to me. I raised an eyebrow at her but nodded my head. With one final hug, I turned around and headed over to Wally, planting a kiss on his tender lips. He smiled into the kiss and when we parted I turned around and watched as Kami walked over to the corner of the courtyard where a patch of trees were clustered.

Before I could see what she was doing, Wally pulled me inside the castle and we made our way over to the reception hall.

Kami's POV

I made sure Kuki was out of sight before I made my way over to the grove of trees in the corner. I stood by the biggest one and spoke, "You can come out now, Lady Josephine." I said.

I head a rustle and Lady Josephine stepped out. "Thank you again, Kami, for sneaking me into Kuki's wedding. And please, call me Joy. There is no need for you to call me by my given name. I know that you always called Ruburd by Buddy." She said, straightening out her brown, curly hair.

"We were good friends, Sir Buddy and I. We were both children when we met when my mother was the cook of Sanban Manor." I said. I never did confess to her my love for Sir Buddy.

"I know I have not been the kindest person in the world to you, Kami. But I am still in your debt. Kuki is so much like you. In more ways than you know. I just wish that I could have been more of a mother to her than you were. She is half you, and none of me." And that was true. Lady Joy and Buddy had tried for years to have a child, but it had been years, and when she went to the physician she learned that she was sterile. It had been Buddy's idea to look for someone who would carry on the Sanban line.

And Buddy thought of me. It took Lady Joy a while to think it over. I was in the prime of my youth, I was strong boned and healthy. She agreed a few months later.

It took us only one try. However awkward it was at first, fumbling in his bed while Lady Joy was on one of her trips. Not knowing what to do. I was knew at this, and the only person that Buddy had been in his bed with was his wife. But he wanted a child, and Lady Joy was unable to conceive. But once we got it, it was beautiful. The feel of Buddy's long fingers trailing down my sides. The flush of our bare skin against each others.

It took only one time. That's what I usually heard the faeries at parties I went to when I was a young girl would say. Most of them had only had one time before they became pregnant. And I was just another case.

My stomach had quickly expanded, Buddy wouldn't let me do anything while I was pregnant. Not wanting me to strain myself and hurt our baby. No, his and Lady Josephine's baby. I had to remind myself when I laid in my own bed, a hand on my stomach as I felt our, his, baby kick from within. It was such a joyous feeling when you feel that little human being kick from within you. Making your presence known to you. Making sure that they are known.

Buddy was always there for me, especially the last trimester of my pregnancy when I was particularly well, needy, for lack of better terms. He was always so gentle, making sure I was comfortable throughout our escapades.

None of the other slaves knew what happened. There were other pregnancies that were happening. Sonya had been pregnant with Sallee, and Jeanette had just given birth to Jessica. Letona had just entered her second trimester with Leona.

I had gone into labour the day that Lady Joy had come home. She helped me deliver, and when that little girl with bright amethyst eyes and looked up at me, she was swept into her real mothers arms. Buddy had wanted to name her. He named her Kukihana. He never told me why he would give such a name. The only thing he said was "It's a unique name for a such a unique little girl. Just like her mother." He said, looking at me with bright hazel eyes. And I knew at once that he was not speaking of Lady Joy.

Kuki had been so quite her first hour of life, when she began to scream. Lady Joy had thrust her into my arms and stomped away, screaming. Buddy and I had escaped to what would become her room. I was going to nurse the little one, when she appeared in all her sparkling glory. Her sudden appearance had made little Kuki cry harder and louder, thus when Henrietta thrust the cursed spell of obedience on her.

I turned to look at Joy, but she was gone, I watched as she made her way to the open gate and walk out of the courtyard of the castle.

I gave a small smile and retreated into the castle.

I never told Kuki that I was her real mother.

They we go! Quite the surprise, don't you think? Sorry for the delay, between two NEW KND stories (Let's Not Play With Shadows and Interview with a Psycho) life's been pretty hectic. I had my last day of school yesterday (May 31) and I am officially a Junior; an upperclassman! Woot woot!

So yes, Kami is actually Kuki's mother! Isn't that exciting!

So please tell me what you think by leaving me a review.
