It was so very silent as the wedding began, Moe's eyes locked on his daughter the entire time. He had just made the most important decision of his life by 'giving Belle away', entrusting her to Cameron like she was a precious jewel. He had thrown the beer out almost the moment Cameron left his apartment because of his beautiful Belle, she was happy with Gold and Moe had to admit that he hadn't seen her smile so much since her mother died all those years ago. How he missed Colette.
"Do you Cameron Cian Gold..."
He loved his daughter to the ends of the earth and back and so if she was happy, then he would put all his uncertainties and worries away in a box and never open it again. She was old enough to make her own decisions and mature far beyond her years. Belle and Cameron may have done things very fast, but Moe could understand why Belle had pushed it forwards, he was her father, of course he had always known about her desperation to have her own family, he knew he could never be enough.
"I do."
Gold was still too old for her in his opinion, but he had been nearly ten years older than Colette when they met all those years ago at the AC/DC consent. Maybe I've been a little hypocritical he told himself. It's clear Cameron loves Izzy. Clear she loves him, and love is not bound by any law. It had taken a very long time but Moe finally realised that no one can choose who they fall in love with, it just happens when you least expect it.
"And do you Isabelle Penelope Maria French take..."
Moe internally chuckled at that, he had always hated the name Maria, but Colette had insisted since it was her middle name and her mothers before her. He knew that if his darling wife was there she would have hit him over the head with something for standing between such obvious love, but he couldn't help it. He was Izzy's father and the need to protect her sometimes pushed away what was clear and right in front of him. I'm sorry, my love. You were always the smart one, you would have seen the love they share, not the age gap. You would have been so much better at this than me. You her mother filled with wisdom, me her father ruled by the old-fashioned sixties lifestyle. Victor and Jefferson are gay, Ruby doesn't wear enough clothes and my daughter is marrying a man twice her age...because she loves him. Some things should be accepted, my love, I see that now. His thoughts went on as the ceremony continued. Moe could see he had focused on something unimportant to the people of today, yet to him it had seemed like an elephant in the room. He had misjudged things and almost lost his daughter and grandchild because of it, not again, Izzy was happy and that was good enough. If Cameron ever hurt her though...he was a dead man.
"I do."
Two little words and his beautiful baby girl was a woman, a wife.
They shared a gentle kiss then suddenly Victor and Ruby stood and started clapping while Jefferson held Bae close. Jefferson had always wanted a kid, maybe when Victor's a doctor, he told himself. Belle's smile was brighter than the sun as she made her way from her new husband and to her best friends. Moe took the opportunity to grab Cameron's arm. He turned and for a split second was confused.
"I may have misjudged you but that doesn't mean I like you. If you hurt her or that baby make no mistake. I will kill you."
Strangely Cameron just smiled and tugged his arm free.
"I would expect nothing else of a father."

Cam didn't know what his favourite part was, hearing her say 'I do' or Belle on her back for their wedding night. Maybe it was equal.
"Please Cam." She begged as he teased her folds with his fingers.
"I. Love. You." He announced in between kisses to her delicate and pale neck.
At almost four and a half months pregnant sex was a little difficult for Belle, but the pleasure would soon take over. She still wore her wedding dress but Cam wasted no time in stripping her of the offending garment, his own suit had long since been abandoned in a pool by the door. They had just come in, put Bae to bed and started their wedding night. His mouth found her breast and began to tease the flesh, calling the bud of her nipple to attention. Small gasps deep from her throat escaped as his open-mouthed kisses made their way up her body to her neck, Belle's eyes fluttered shut as her new husband bit down, marking her as his own. All his. His!
"Mama! Mama!" Came the sudden screams of Bae and the newly weds let out a sigh.
"I just got cock-blocked by my own son." Cam said in what he thought was a whisper.
Belle froze, eyes locked on his with a smile.
"Did you just say 'cock-blocked'?"
"Well its true."
With that Belle burst out laughing, her hormones taking the situation and making it a million times funnier than it actually was. Cam couldn't help it, her laugh was infectious and he started too.
"Mama!" Screamed Bae again.
"I'll be back in a minuet, I knew we should have had Ashley take care of him." She quickly slipped on a soft white robe.
"Some new man in her life has taken her away for the weekend as a birthday treat."
"Typical." She said with a smile and then made her way down the red hall to Bae.
When she entered he was crying and had Humphrey buried in his neck for comfort. Belle sat down on the silk sheets and pulled her son close.
"What's wrong, Angel? Bad dream?" He nodded into her side. "Oh daring, nothing is going to hurt you it was just a dream. You're safe I promise."
Bae's tears didn't slow and so Belle pulled him to sit in her lap where he clung to her bump, as if sensing his or her brother the baby kicked.
"You know, when the baby is born they're going to need a brave big brother to keep them safe. You think you and Humphrey can do that?" Belle looked down to Bae whose tears had suddenly stopped at the mention of his sibling, she knew Bae would be a fantastic big brother.
"Yeah." He answered simply, his dream long since forgotten. "Is Brother?"
"Well, Angel. We don't know, we won't know that until the baby is born."
"Why?"
"So as it's a surprise."
Belle and Bae sat there for a while, he liked being comforted by his Mama. It suddenly occurred to Belle that it was the first time that she really was his Mama and he her son, they were finally a real family. Soon Bae fell back to sleep with Humphrey, Belle looked down at him with a soft smile playing on her lips. She pressed a kiss to his forehead and tucked him in, he looked so much like Cam when he was asleep, peaceful and ever so cute.
With her son again in a dreamland, hopefully a happier one than before, she made her way back down the hall to her husband.
