Chapter 39
The store that Eric bought Tris was a beautiful place even in its falling apart state, and it was in a perfect location for a bakery/ café that Tris had in mind. It had been a passing dream of her's that she had mentioned to Eric at the beginning when they had been dating, and she couldn't believe that he had actually bought her a place and was fixing it up for her.
"I know you don't want a big wedding, and right now most of your time is going to be with Salazar and the girls but, come September Rowena and Vivian will be in kindergarten and it will be only you and Salazar, so I thought maybe you and your mom could run the place together. The twins ended up buying the place next door with the help of Dragon and they are turning it into a daycare so when things get slow you can always go over there and help out." Eric said nervously shifting from foot to foot as he watched Tris look over the place, Natalie and Andrew looking around in awe of the building.
"I love it. It's perfect but there's so much space, I don't know what to do with it all." Tris said as she looked at Eric who was smiling now.
"Well you can have a counter for baked goods only and a take-out counter and then booths and tables throughout." Eric said as Tris grinned happily.
"I love it so much!" Tris said excited as Eric hugged her.
"It's a bit of a big project so the twins, Dragon, and I hired a couple contractors to do most of the heavy work and all of the lighter work we can do ourselves. And there is plenty of time to think menu's and other things like that." Eric said as Tris hugged him tightly.
"Well this is one heck of a spot. The schools are nearby and it's by several businesses so you will have good business." Andrew said as Eric looked over at him.
"What bout us?" Rowena said as Tris brightened.
"Maybe with the days off, we will have to talk to the schools but we can have parent and child cooking days when people come in with their kids and make something?" Tris said happily, as Natalie smiled.
"I love that idea. But first we need to plan your wedding and then we can focus on the store." Natalie pointed out as Tris nodded reluctantly. She really wanted to get plans moving for the store now that she had seen it.
"Well, we don't want a big wedding. During the summer time maybe and we already have the girl's dresses, so all I need to do is my wedding dress and flowers. Eric said he would handle the caterer and the venue." Tris said as Eric smiled.
"I have a caterer and a possible venue set up at the moment, and Tris was waiting until Salazar was born to find her dress." Eric said as Tris smiled at him and leaned into his touch. They natural gravitated towards each other still. Tris hoped that it always happened this way.
It didn't take long. Maybe a couple weeks of looking for a dress, for Tris to find the one she liked. Her mom and Lynn had been with her along with the three children.
"This is the one. This is my Wedding Dress." Tris said as she turned around in the mirror to look at herself properly. Natalie was trying hard not to cry. Tris looked beautiful in her gown, it wasn't really a traditional one by any means but Tris, and Eric weren't a traditional couple. They both had tattoos, Tris had already had a baby, and they had two other children. If anything else, they were doing things backwards. Natalie wouldn't have it any other way though. This was her family.
"When's the wedding?" The assistant asked as they offered Tris a veil with a tiara before Tris removed the veil and just tried the tiara.
"July 10th. I have a couple months to lose some of the baby weight." Tris said as Lynn looked over at her.
"Tris you know that Eric won't care about how you look in the dress baby weight or not. The man adores you no matter what." Lynn said stopping beside her, Tris smiling slightly.
"Be lucky I like you and I'm putting you as my maid of honor in a nice seafoam green dress and not something like pink like I have the girls in." Tris said as Lynn shuddered.
"Fair enough, be warned I will be asking you for tips to walk in heels since I don't want to make a fool of myself in the stilettos you picked out." Lynn said as Tris smiled and gave her closest female friend a one armed hug.
Tris was more nervous about the wedding than she let on. The closer it got the more she tried not to worry. She wasn't concerned about the rings, Eric and her mom hand made sure they were beautiful and fit. Tris had everything arranged with the girls and Lynn. Natalie and Andrew said they would take all three children so Tris and Eric could have a honeymoon. Lynn and Ares were spending time both at the twin's opening Daycare and Tris's soon to be shop. Lynn had already agreed to work for Tris and Will was going to very likely join them but he had no firm decision yet. Hades was working strictly on the paperwork for both places so Tris could concentrate on her wedding. They were all excited about seeing Tris get married.
"You look so beautiful," Andrew said as he watched Tris fix her tiara on her head, the girls were already in their pale pink dresses and flats. Salazar was in a sleeper that looked like a suit that Caleb had found. Caleb had offered to carry Salazar down in his arms as the Ring bearer. Eric was getting ready by the small country club that was both doing the wedding and the reception. Tris turned to face her Dad and did a little twirl for him.
"You think so?" Tris asked as Andrew smiled. It was an amazing looking dress, a sweetheart neckline and an empire waist to top it off, but what really stood out was the fact that the main part of the dress only went to Tris's knee. From the empire waist down there was a sheer drop that dragged a little bit when she walked. Her silver sequined shoes topped off the outfit nicely. Andrew had never been one for fashion but he knew his daughter looked amazing.
"I know so. I really hope that Eric knows how lucky he is." Andrew said as Tris smiled and linked her arm gently with her fathers and they left the bedroom together. Caleb and Natalie were already in the car with the kids, and Andrew was taking Tris to the country club himself. Andrew helped Tris out of the car and up the steps of the country club as Lynn passed back and forth carefully in her heels, Ares watching his date to make sure she didn't fall.
"You look really nice Lynn." Tris said making Lynn jump before relaxing.
"Thank you. You look like a vision if I say so myself. If Eric doesn't appreciate this then I'm going to make his next get together a nightmare." Lynn said trying to be serious and failing since she was happy to see her friend get married. Together Lynn, Tris, and Andrew walked into the church, Ares vanishing into the main part of the church to sit with his brother and Will. Caleb was going to be carrying Salazar down the aisle as the ring bearer otherwise; he would be sitting with them as well.
Waiting to walk down the aisle was a blur for Tris until it came to actually do it, her hands were shaking, and she was grateful for her Dad at her side to walk her down to the man of her dreams. Eric's eyes had widened when he had seen Lynn in her dress since he had missed seeing her in it before, but his jaw had dropped when he saw Tris in her stunning gown. He had kept it simple in a clean cut suit with no tie since they drove him nuts, and he knew the girls were in pink. But Tris was a true Vision.
"I think your about to drool" Lynn whispered to Eric who didn't respond since he was still staring at Tris. It took everything in him not to go down the steps from the alter too her and meet her half way. He had never really thought about how he would feel seeing her come down the aisle towards him, but now that it was happening, Eric was overwhelmed by what he was feeling. Lynn was grinning as she watched Tris accept Eric's arm and they stood together in front of the Priest. Most of what was said was hardly heard by Tris and Eric before it came time for their vows, which they had written themselves.
"I, Eric Coulter, Vow to love and cherish you, to provide you with a warm and loving home. To always make sure you are reminded that you are one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and that nothing could ever change my mind about you." Eric said making Tris smile as she listened.
"I Beatrice Prior Vow to love and cherish you, to always remind you that nothing, large or small will get in the way of our love and there is nothing we can't overcome together. I will be your rock when your world seems to be falling apart and nothing seems to be going right. I will stand by you as we raise three beautiful children and keep an open mind to more in the future." Tris said, her voice trembling as she fought back tears, Eric's fingers gently rubbing circles on the insides of her wrists. They seemed to be in their own little world until they were told they could kiss. Eric pulled Tris into his arms and dipped her down as he kissed her, cheers and catcalls coming from the twins in the pews watching. Eric carefully lifted her up both of them smiling as they started walking up the aisle together, the girls, and Caleb carrying Salazar following them.
It was a short drive to the reception hall that Eric had booked for them, and Tris was content to ride with Eric, her hand resting on his thigh as they shared smiles. Eric had insisted on driving to the reception himself and then later he was going to drive to where they were going to spend a little while alone as a honeymoon. They didn't want to be gone to long from the girls and Salazar since he was so little. Not to mention Tris and Eric wanted to work on Tris's Café.
"I'm going to think this is a dream for a while. I can't believe that we are married." Tris said laying her head on Eric's shoulder briefly making him smile.
"Me too, But I meant what I said in my vows." Eric said as Tris sighed happily.
"I love you." Eric said as he parked their car so they could leave later without much fuss.
"I love you too." Tris said as she looked over at him before they shared a kiss.
"If we didn't have to I would leave for our honeymoon now," Eric said as they broke apart and rest their foreheads together.
"Will you tell me where we are going?" Tris asked as Eric grinned good naturally.
"It's a surprise. I know that you'll like it though. Just you and me," Eric said as Tris smiled, taking Eric's hand as he helped her out of the car and they walked together into the building. Already there was people mingling around the room, the girls were peering at the tables, and the dancefloor eager to start dancing and seating the treats that were prepared. Salazar had a little section with the other small children in case they needed to rest, and Tris squeezed Eric's arm where she held it in thanks for his thoughtfulness. She had truly married a great man.
