Today is the most special day of my life. It is the day I marry Midori Akira Amano in BPRD Headquarters, making her officially Midori Akira Bruttenholm nee Amano. Rosie was the flower girl and she worked hard, polishing her flower petals and preparing for this moment. Harry was the ring bearer and he too had done his duties without missing a beat.

Just as he laid out the rings for us, I saw Midori in the most beautiful white dress, walking down the aisle towards me, and I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest man alive. Rosalinda said of course I was as Midori was the most beautiful woman in the world. I looked at her baffled and she had a smirk on her face, teasing me like she always did.

I mean I could, what else is a big brother for? So, like any loving brother, I tickled her in response. But it didn't take long for Midori to come to the rescue. She demanded I stop and that Rosie was allowed to tease me.

After the ceremony, Rosie and Harry had to leave, but it was only right, as Midori and I would need our honeymoon week all to ourselves. As they left, my heart brimmed with warmth and I couldn't help but smile, knowing that my new life was beginning.

A week later

Midori Bruttenholm POV

As soon as the honeymoon's over with my otōto and imōto come to see us and hug me.

"Midori-o-nee-san! We wanted to see you and big brother but they wouldn't let us." my otōto Harry says. My imōto Rosie nods and pouts, sad that Hellboy didn't read to her no doubt.

"Imōto Rosie, Otōto Harry, we needed a little bit of time to ourself as it was adult stuff we were talking about." I say and my otōto and imōto are soothed by that. As long as they are allowed back into the room.

I don't want to tell them that they will need to room elsewhere. That was until I heard what Hellboy did, threw such a hissy fit, we get new quarters for the us and our otōto and imōto. They will have rooms essentially in the room with doors that block out the sounds when Hellboy and I are together.

Too bad imōto Rosie never told her from the get go about that witch, Liz was doing. He should have been told from the start as he would have believed his imōto, not that wench.

I started to sing to them.

"Mamoru beki mono nante nayamu made mo naku

Hitotsu shika nakatta

Sakebigoe no kodama muna shika hibiita

Fukai mori no oku ni

Namida o koraerareta riyuu wa

Kasareta yubi no nukumori no sei

Kimi ga inai mirai imi nado nai mirai

Nido to hanashitari wa shinai kara

Kimi to nozomu sekai mita koto nai sekai

Jikuu o koete haruka tabi suru bokura

Shinjitsu no utagoe yami ni hibikasete

Hitotsu mune ni chikau

Todomaru koto wa nai arashi no naka de mo

Kowa no rakuen made

Horobiru koto shiranai tamashii

Meguri meguru sadameta to shite mo

Kimi to kakeru katai kono sekai no hate mo

Nido to kurikaeri wa shinai kara

Kimi to naraba yukeru hashiru mugen kidou

Owaranai yume yagate tadoritsukeru sa

Kimi ga inai mirai

Imi nado nai mirai

Nido to hanashitari wa shinai kara

Kimi to nozomu sekai mita koto nai sekai

Jikuu o koete haruka tabi suru bokura

Jikuu o koete haruka tabi suru bokura" I sing.

Imōto Rosie and Otōto Harry ask for another song.

"Kokoro no naka no JIORAMA no machi wa

kibou no Hikari de kirameite iru

kagerou no hane de habataita yume wa

kimi to boku to no sagashimono

shinjitsu wa itsumo

Hitomi ni hisonde iru aoku

eien no arika owari nai yume

kono te o hanasazu oikakete ikitai zutto." I sang.

Hellboy claps as he loves to hear my singing voice and seeing me singing to Otōto Harry and Imōto Rosie has him happy. I can see that.

"I can't wait until we have our own, and then you can sing them all to sleep. Imōto Rosie, Otōto Harry, and our children." Hellboy says.

A wave of emotion washes over me as I listen to his request. I know that soon enough, our family will be here.

"So impatient Watashi no ai. We will have little ones no doubt about that Watashi no ai. But be patient." I speak.

He nods and looks away, lost in thought. I kiss his cheek and wrap my arms around him. We stand like that for what feels like an eternity. Suddenly, I'm no longer in my beloved's arms, but in the air as he lifts me off the ground and carries me away to the bathroom.

Hellboy POV

"She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus, mellowed to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!" I recite to Midori before reciting another poem to her.

"Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand'ring bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me prov'd,

I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd." I recite.

"Night is over the park, and a few brave stars

Look on the lights that link it with chains of gold,

The lake bears up their reflection in broken bars

That seem too heavy for tremulous water to hold.

We watch the swans that sleep in a shadowy place,

And now and again one wakes and uplifts its head;

How still you are—your gaze is on my face—

We watch the swans and never a word is said." Midori recites and I kiss her hungrily on the lips.
