Part 2: The Transformation

Chapter 26

"The First Night"

As the day of their wedding came to an end, Tarzan and Jane were now husband and wife and king and queen of the jungle. Now, they were in the process of celebrating their marriage with a honeymoon that would be just them and them alone in the tree house. Archimedes was of course staying at the trading post with Monseiur Dumont during their honeymoon. For Tarzan and Jane, their honeymoon would last five days and four nights with Archimedes returning on the fifth day. Still dressed in their wedding clothes, Tarzan carried Jane into the tree house and into their bedroom. He threw Jane down on the bed and she laughed as they looked on at each other.

"Oh, Tarzan," she sighed. "I can't believe that we are married to one another. This is the happiest day of my life."

"It's the happiest day of Tarzan's life too," added Tarzan. "Tarzan is happy that Jane will stay with Tarzan forever."

He then took off his tuxedo jacket and Jane took off her wedding veil as they looked at each other much like how they did when they first met. Of course, they had to be careful of their wedding clothes as they once belonged to Tarzan's parents and that they were both delicate. As Jane looked at Tarzan, she was hesitant to look at him, knowing that they were going to make love to one another, but she wanted to save it for the last night of their honeymoon. But, Tarzan had something to give her for her wedding to him.

"Jane, Tarzan has wedding present for you," said Tarzan and he ran out of the room for a second to get the wedding present for Jane. Jane wanted to sit up but the amount of petticoats and weight of the wedding dress itself made it difficult for her to do so. Tarzan came in and was holding what appeared to be a brown jungle outfit for Jane.

"Is that for me?" she gasped and took the outfit from Tarzan's hands. What she was holding was a brown top and a small matching skirt. It was nothing like the outfits she had in her wardrobe, but now that she was Tarzan's wife, she had to start dressing like Tarzan.

"Tarzan," she gasped. "It's wonderful, even if it is a little revealing. Then again, you were revealing clothes yourself."

They both laughed and now it was Jane's turn to give her wedding present to Tarzan. Earlier at the wedding, she and Tarzan had to stand in front of a camera that Archimedes had brought with him and he used the camera to take a picture of Tarzan and Jane standing next to each other right after the ceremony.

"Jane have something for Tarzan?" he asked.

"Yes, I do have something for you, my love," she replied. "But first, can you help me out of my wedding gown, please?"

Tarzan was hesitant again at first, but he eventually gave in and Jane turned around and allowed Tarzan to unzip the back of her wedding dress and undo the bun in Jane's hair. He helped Jane bend over and remove the heavy wedding dress that was confining her. She then removed her petticoats, white stockings and her white high heels before asking Tarzan to leave.

"I will be a few minutes, Tarzan," she said and Tarzan left the room so that Jane could remove her chemise, corset and bloomers.

While Tarzan was waiting, he removed the tuxedo and changed back into his loincloth while he waited for Jane to finish dressing. After a while, Jane emerged from their bedroom and was now wearing the brown jungle outfit that Tarzan had given her. Tarzan was amazed how Jane could transform from the large wedding gown that once belong to his mother to the brown jungle outfit that he had given her.

"Now are you ready to see my wedding present to you?" she asked.

"Tarzan is ready," he replied.

"First, you will have to close your eyes," she said and Tarzan did as he was told although he was confused about it.

"Why do you want me to close my eyes?" asked Tarzan.

"It's a surprise, my love," she replied and she led Tarzan into the upper deck of the tree and after a few moments, they stopped and Jane brought Tarzan's hands down.

"All right," she said. "You can open them now."

Tarzan lowered his hands and opened his eyes to see a large picture that Archimedes and several of Dumont's men had brought to the tree house while they were still undressing from their wedding attire. Tarzan could see him and Jane in their wedding attire standing with the jungle in the background and Jane with her warm and delicate smile and wearing her heavy wedding gown and Tarzan stood next to her in his father's tuxedo with his mother's eyes reflecting down upon whoever looked at the portrait.

"Jane," he gasped. "Are we family?"

"We are Tarzan," she said. "And nothing is going to change that, absolutely nothing."

They stood there and admired the large portrait in all its glory before bringing it back into the tree house where they would place it in their bedroom and look at it and relive that glorious day in the Wazari village every day and every night. Of course, they still four nights to themselves and it would all cap off with a night of dinner and dancing and the only guests that were invited were themselves dressed in their best clothes and confessing their love for one another.

However, they couldn't help but feel nervous for one another. After all, this was their first night as husband and wife and Jane was very nervous about being around Tarzan giving the fact that she wasn't even 21 years old yet. But, she was with the man of her dreams and that nothing was going to change that.

The next few days would be the days that would change their lives forever…
