Alaya is the first to enter the drawing-room at 13 Paternoster Row. Fiona walks in behind her as all five women have unseated themselves to hear the news. Louisa, Flora, Jenny, Vastra and April are staring at Fiona. Immediately she blushes as each one becomes nervous when they see her eyes red and swollen.

"I have received a perfect score!"

Fiona receives congratulatory hugs from everyone. April immediately uncovers cheesecake and dessert wine. Alaya begins to pour into five glasses the wine and hands everyone a glass.

Alaya lifts her glass, "To Fiona!"

Everyone raises their glass, 'To Fiona!"

April chants, "Speech! Speech!"

Fiona takes a large sip of her wine, "I want to thank each of you. Without your support, sacrifices and patience I would not have achieved what many never attempt. In this room, there are six amazing women who I respect and love. The high standards I have set for myself is not-self inflicted, the high standards are put there by those before me. I believe that I have the potential to achieve anything." Fiona smiles, "spite the fact I am female." Everyone laughs. Fiona stands a little taller, "My mother and I are grateful for your friendship. My Alaya has been supportive beyond human expectations, which is probably due to the fact she is half-Silurian. The new year will bring new challenges into my academic life, I hope to count on you for your continued support. I shall need it more than ever."

Fiona raises her glass to all in the room, "Cheers!"

Everyone responds, "Cheers!"

The doorbell rings, Alaya quickly puts her drink down. Closes the drawing-room door to answer the door.

Fiona notices Mother Vastra quickly puts her veil on and stands closer to Jenny. Fiona instantly turns around and watches the drawing-room doors glide open. A veiled Alaya is guiding in a minister.

The Minister speaks, "To who are you marrying?"

Alaya locks arms with Fiona. "This is F.S. Clair, my bride."

Fiona blushed with excitement.

The Minister speaks, "You are correct it is unorthodox. It will cost you twice the amount."

Alaya turns to her mother Vastra, who hands over a long envelope to the Minister. The Minister opens the envelope, checks the sum and pulls out a thin envelope and puts it down on the side table. "Who are the witnesses?"

Alaya, "J.V. Flint" as Mother Jenny comes to her daughter's side.

Fiona turns to see her mother, "A.S. Clair" as April comes to her daughter's side.

The minister clears his throat and begins: "... A.V. Flint and F.S. Clair, I now invite you to join hands and make your vows, in the presence of God and his people ... to be my wife, to have and to hold ... I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage... In the presence of God and before this congregation, A.V. Flint and F.S. Clair have given their consent and made their marriage vows to each other ... those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder."

The minister picks up the thin envelope, opens it up and unfolds an empty marriage certificate. He fills out the information and turns to J. V. Flint, "Sign Here." He turns to A.S. Clair, "Sign Here." Then he looks to the couple he married, "Your names here and here."

One last question, "What is the common surname?"

Fiona responded quickly, "Vastra Flint."

Alaya touches Fiona's hand, "Flint-Saint Clair."

Fiona nods.

The Minister pulls out a small book and writes all the information down and hands Alaya a marriage license and bids good-day. Alaya walks him out and hands him another large collection of bills, "Thank you."

Alaya returns to the drawing-room and grabs Fiona's face and kisses deeply. Fiona kisses back and pulls Alaya close.

April walks over to Vastra and Jenny hands over one envelope, "This is Fiona's dowry." She puts a small package to Vastra's side and whisper, "This is for you and your family, which now includes my daughter. I trust your judgement."

Vastra puts the package on a shelf for later and hands the other envelope to Alaya.

Alaya and Fiona read it together, "Oh mother, We could not accept. You are giving us 14 Savile Road?"

"It is a good and profitable business. The residence is upstairs and the business runs itself."

Alaya humbly, "I wasn't expecting this."

"That is why it is a present."

Alaya smiles, "Thank you. You and I will discuss schedules, expectations and other details after we return from our honeymoon."

Fiona smiles larger than life, "Honeymoon?"

Alaya looking to her wife, "We must leave shortly as we have a train to catch."

"Where?"

"Does it truly matter?"

"No. I just need to know what to pack."

"Your mother has already completed that task. Are you ready?" She puts out her arm for Fiona and leave 13 Paternoster Row for their holiday.

The remaining five women celebrate, listen to music and talk until it is past midnight as guests are given rooms. To sleep the wine off till morning.
