-Apple-
I woke up to the feeling of the bed shifting and to the sound of Blu babbling on in baby talk. I sat up and saw Blu sitting on the bed with his legs crossed and McIntosh in his lap. McIntosh was smiling at him as the baby reached for him, "Good morning Blu," I yawned.
"Look who it is," Blu sat McIntosh up in his lap to look at me, "It is mommy. Doesn't she look pretty today?"
I moved the blankets off my body and scooted closer to my boys, "Hey McIntosh," I brushed his yellow hair and he smiled. He reached up and grabbed my hand and I moved it to his face. He opened his mouth and wrapped his lips around my index finger.
"So are you ready for today?" Blu asked.
"You bet I am. After months of being on the sidelines, I wanna get to work again."
"What about our wedding?" he asked.
"Shit!" I pulled my hand back and got out of the bed, "I forgot to get my dress!"
"How can you forget the dress?" Blu got out of bed with McIntosh, "It's like forgetting the Electro Hydraulic Servo Motors in a rocket."
"I know, I'm sorry," I kissed him on the cheek, "I'm sorry, but I have to go get the dress."
"Then who's going to watch the baby? I have to make sure that the wedding is all prepped. Which means that I'll be running around all day to do so."
"I guess you have to figure that one out."
"Can I get your mother to watch him?"
"She has last minute farm stuff to do before the wedding babe."
"Yeah, like me?" he furrowed his brow.
"She's actually doing the whole set up for the wedding."
"Didn't we have someone else doing that?"
"Yeah," I grabbed some clothes from the drawer, "But she kinda just took over because she wants to a part of everything that apparently happens on her farm. What about your sister?"
"She's out getting some things for the wedding."
"Then you'd have to watch him then," I threw on my clothes.
"I just said I couldn't."
"Then what the hell do expect me to say Blu? Leave McIntosh alone for a few hours? I don't think so!"
I headed for the door and Blu followed me downstairs, "I'm just saying, you're only going to get the dress and come back. So why can't you take him?"
"Because Rota and I plan on doing some shopping afterwards."
"For what?" downstairs there was Princess Luna talking, well more of flirting, with Apple Brae, "What are you doing here Luna?" Blu asked.
"We invited her remember?" I rolled my eyes.
"I know, but what is she doing here so early?"
"I was originally here to see how the wedding was coming along. I don't have anything to do during the day really, so I'm free."
"So can you watch McIntosh for a few hours?"
"She's a Princess, Blu. She doesn't have time for that."
"How do you know? Besides, she just said that she was free. Since she's Princess, why don't you show her the respect she needs and not answer for her."
"You think I don't show respect?"
"You're yelling at me, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to respond to that question."
"Ya know what, fuck you."
"Hey, no cussing in front of McIntosh!" Blu snapped.
"He's a baby! He doesn't know what the hell we're even saying!"
"Then don't cuss in front of a Princess. She's a lady."
"I'm not? I'm about to buy a dress."
"Yeah, the first dress you'll ever actually wear," he chuckled, "You've gotta be kidding me."
"So you don't think I'm a lady?"
"You threw a homeless guy literally across a street because all he did was accidently sneeze on you. In addition to that, your usual attire is jeans and a t-shirt without shoes on. Even when eating, you can out eat me and you're sloppier about it too."
"It's not my fault that you have a small stomach."
"GUYS!" we heard shouted and looked down at Luna who was now standing in between us. Shows that we weren't paying attention because I didn't see her move in between us, "I can watch McIntosh. I'll really watch him now that you two are fighting."
"No, I'll watch him," Blu took a step back.
"No, I'll watch him. I'm only going to get my dress right?"
"Okay," he smiled and handed me the baby.
"Wha-what? What just happened?"
"You just got played," Luna laughed and walked over to the counter.
"Shut up Luna," I walked up to her as she turned around, "Here, since you're free," I handed her the baby and he was huge compared to her.
"Good, now get outta here you two," Blu and I headed for the door, "I want you two to not kill each other or destroy a town while you're out."
"I'll try not to kill 'im," I laughed.
-Blu-
Hours later, at the start of noon, the wedding was going to start. I was standing at the altar with Charm, my best man, standing to my right, "You seem nervous," she told me.
"And you look like a dude in that Tux, sis," I shot back at her, "I mean, we are pointing out the obvious aren't we not?"
"Just shut up and get ready for the next big adventure."
Before I could speak, the organ began to play and from behind an wall bush came Apple. She was in a multi-shade green dress that began to split at her knees and formed a train behind her. She wore leather steel toed boots that worked their way up to her knees. The silver buckles were securely fastened up the front of the boots. The flower girls began walking in front of her and dropped flower petals in front of them. Walking Apple down the aisle was Apple Smith.
Apple was so beautiful in her dress. The boots were what did it for me. I loved seeing her in those boots; it made me so aroused for some odd reason. So I fought my body to not get a hard on during my wedding.
Apple stopped at the end of the first row of chairs and faced her mother. Apple Smith smiled at her before Apple walked up to the altar to face me. Princess Luna handed Apple McIntosh and began speaking loudly enough for all to hear, "Today is a good day to get married! Especially for these two! I've seen the true capabilities of these two people and I took time out of my day to personally wed these two! So if there is anyone who doesn't agree with them getting married, get the fuck out!" we all laughed and eventually settled down, "Do either of you have the rings?"
"Eeyup," I reached into my pocket and pulled out the two rings and handed them to Princess Luna.
"I understand that you two have written your own vows."
"Yeah, we did," I looked into Apple's eyes as I pulled out a folded piece of paper. Once unfolded, I began reading, "Apple, the first time I met you, I was so unsure of myself. I was shocked when you were willing to sit next to me on the train when we first met. At first I was just shocked that a woman like you would want to even sit in the same train car as me. It took a lot of courage just to say hi, let alone ask you out. Every day after that just felt like a dream to me because I've always had this question of how such a wonderful perfect woman would want to be with me. I now can feel complete because I am going to marry the most perfect woman for my life. There is no one I am willing to die for more than you," McIntosh mewled, "Well maybe you little buddy," I kissed his head.
Apple sighed, "I remember when we first met. I was thinking that you were such a dork at first. How you and I talked about Aerospace Dynamics and PSCIN Quadratics. After talking to you that first day I realised that you were different. Usually guys just either hated me because of my size or lusted after me because they thought I would be an easy score. But not you. You wanted someone to love the sciences just as much as you do and that's where I came into the picture. Our paths were meant to be crossed then intertwined. Because I met you, I can feel complete now. Even more so with little one here," she kissed McIntosh's head, "I have so much to look forward to with you. I love you and I am willing to spend all of eternity with you."
Luna waited a few seconds before speaking again, "Thunder Blu?"
Apple and I turned to face her, "Yeah?"
"Do you take Sweetie Apple here to your wife? To have and to hold forever? Will you stand by her side no matter what?"
"I do," Apple and faced each other again and I put the ring on her finger.
Apple handed McIntosh over to Luna, "Sweetie Apple, do you take-!"
"YES!" she jumped me and I fell to my back, "Yes I do!" she began planting kisses all over my face and neck.
"You may now kiss the bride I guess," Luna laughed.
Apple propped herself up onto one hand, "Let me see your hand," she smiled as her hair dangled over my face. I gave her my left hand and she then slipped the ring onto my finger. I held her face in both of my hands, "I love you Blu."
"I love you too, Apple."
