Chapter 42: Respects

I was crying. The face that Chris had made while I was being pulled away by Albert had broken my heart. I was told by my father to protect Chris, and while this would protect him for now, what are the long-term effects? It was moments like this when I wished I had a vice to cling to.

Albert drank and used to smoke when he was in the army. As soon as I found out, though, I helped him quit. Never did like the smell of tobacco burning. It reminded me of when my parents fought.

I shook my head while I was having a surgical shoe placed on my left foot. We were in the medical wing of Albert's Eastern European base. It was small and formerly a Veltro base. The doctor was nice but had a thick Russian accent.

"I am sorry, lady boss, but you have, without a doubt, fractured your fourth metatarsal on your left foot. Given your superior healing capability, I would say it still would take at least four weeks to heal." The doctor said as he closed the straps to the ugly shoe to my foot.

"And you are sure of this doctor? What about the children? Are they alright?" I asked a worried look on my face.

"You worry a bit too much about children. Your state is perfectly fine. As long as you don't take a fall down a forty-foot staircase, I am pretty sure you will be fine. Take a look at the latest ultrasound I just took." The doctor says, pulling up a picture on his monitor.

"What am I looking at, doc?" I asked, staring at the screen.

"Your virus is causing a special muscle around the children thicker than the average womb. It's like you are wearing a stabproof vest over a set of Kevlar clothing." He said, easing my worries.

"Thanks, doctor, but I should head to the airstrip now. I'm sure my husband is waiting." I said, standing up off the medical bed.

"Da, don't be a stranger. Do come to visit with younglings after they are born." The doctor said as I limped away.

As I was in the hallway, I saw Albert walking towards me. He zipped over to me and lifted me into his arms, bridal style as usual. I chuckled. I'm sure he loved holding me this way.

"I have fractured my foot, Wesk," I admitted shamefully only to have him kiss my forehead as we zipped through the base to the airfield.

"We are not made of diamonds and jade dearheart," Albert said, "we are still flesh and bone, as much as I hate to admit it."

I nuzzled into his chest as we arrived at the plane. The flight to Edonia would be short, but I knew I was going to sleep through it. What I knew was coming was something I had been waiting for a long time. A chance to meet my darling baby boy.

Reina Mueller was a dear friend of mine who helped me with hiding from Umbrella. Her dad had done it for years, so she picked up a few tricks. She was my midwife for my son's pregnancy. She taught me how to play a little bit of the piano, and I taught her how to cook some of my favorite meals. If it weren't for the fact I was with Albert and I loved him with all my heart, I would have stayed hidden.

"What are you thinking about my lotus?"  Albert asked as he stroked the small bump slowly growing beneath our hands.

"Of Reina Albert, she was a good friend. I'm sure Jake was raised well, and my contact has been training him to protect himself. I hope that my contact will recognize me. It has been a long time since I last saw him." I said, closing my eyes.

"I must admit I wish you had told me sooner about our children. I knew when you had disappeared, it was to hide from Spencer. I could have helped you, and we might have been able to see them." He said, stroking my hair.

"I know, the first time I was Sergei's thumb the entire time. He said he would keep the child safe, and little did I know that Spencer had recruited him a few years prior. When I managed to escape his grasp, I landed at a local orphanage. I hid the remaining two weeks of my pregnancy there. I met two wanna-be parents who were unable to conceive. The orphanage director said that I should give my baby to them instead of leaving it there. I agreed they took me to their small house in a tiny village in the Russian badlands. I didn't ask much about them. I knew the more I knew, the higher the chances Spencer would find Alistar. I left shortly after she was born. Gods, it took me so much not to get attached. It took me four days to recover and disappear. During those days, I fed her and helped change her." I heard Albert Shhh me as tears fell onto his lap.

"Breathe, my dear lotus, we will at least be meeting our son soon. Spencer and Sergei no longer stand in our way." Wesker said, stroking my hair.

He was right, and that thought made me smile. All we had to worry about currently was our vow renewal and meeting our son and Alex. However, she could wait. We've put off our happiness for so long. Things are finally coming to fruition.

I breathed slowly, my eyes still closed but a smile on my lips. I place a hand on my tummy, giving the little ones some attention. With a light snore, I faded into black.

When I awoke, I was in the back seat of a black Mercedes. Albert was at the wheel. I let out a soft moan and stretched my back. I noticed Albert looking at me through the rearview mirror.

"How long was I out for love?" I asked, sitting up.

"Four hours and thirty-seven minutes, to be exact. I changed you into funeral attire. We are going to be late, but we were never going to be part of the service, were we." Albert asked as I looked at the simple black dress that accented my belly.

"No, we were going to meet my contact after the wake," I said, pulling out my phone.

"We are here, dearheart. Let's wait in the tree line... there is no one here except a couple of gentlemen and a priest." He said, putting the car in park.

"And one of them is my contact." I sigh. How were we that late? Or did Reina keep hiding after I left?

"Should I step out?" Albert asked about to open his car door.

"No, I will. It's my contact who has been training our son for the past two years. I think you should follow me still, just in case." I said, stepping out of the car.

Albert followed me quickly out of the car and towards the few people in the cemetery. I stood just at the edge of the tree line. The priest was an elderly man and stood next to a tall brunette man who had a U.S.S. standard pistol on his hip. His hand was on a young man's shoulder. The kid looked like Albert just with bright red hair. It reminded me of my mother's hair.

"HEY!!! WHO'S OVER THERE!" The young man said.

I grimaced and walked forward with a limp, "I AM A FRIEND OF REINA MUELLER I WAS TOLD HER FUNERAL WAS TODAY!"

"YEAH, WELL, THIS IS A PRIVATE EVENT!! SO GET LOST!!" The kid yelled out.

"Let's just go dearheart, it's clear we are not wanted here," Albert said, placing his hand on my shoulder.

I placed my hand on his face and stroked his cheek, "Just wait one second."

"If you truly are a friend of Ms. Mueller, then tell me what time does the Phoenix rise?" HUNK said, staring deep into my eyes.

The code phrase we had set up years ago. So it was clear he did remember me. He started to walk towards me, pulling out his pistol. The father looked horrified.

"The Phoenix herself rises at seven hundred forty-eight hours and falls when the light burns out of her heart. Who greets and bids farewell to the Phoenix when she falls and returns?" I asked, walking forward with my hands up and motioning for Albert to stay back for the moment.

As I walked forward Agent HUNK spoke, "The Grim Reaper himself greets the Phoenix upon her death arms open, welcome to see his long-forgotten friend and they bid each other goodbye once the fire in her heart is reignited granting her life anew. What treasure did the Phoenix last give the Reaper when they parted?"

We stopped in front of each other, I beckoned Albert forward, and HUNK motioned for Jake to come to him.

"The Phoenix left her chick with The Reaper for she knew her path was perilous and The Reaper her teacher had never let her down," I said, smiling as the Reaper hugged me.

"It has been a long time since we last spoke face-to-face, Tabitha," HUNK said as Jake and Albert arrived.

"You know this lady teach?" Jake asked, carefully eyeing me up and down.

"Yes, I was the one who invited her. Remember how I told you I had a job regarding keeping you and your mother safe." HUNK said, releasing the hug and putting away his pistol.

"Yea and what does that have to do with two random ass people showing up to my mom's funeral," Jake asked looking at me and Albert with a glare, "Why did you invite them, teach?"

"I was the one who paid Mr. Death here to watch over you and Reina," I said pulling out my PDA and handing it to Jake with my financials on screen, "These are my financials following July of ninety-eight six years after you were born. I set up an account to send your mother around two thousand five hundred US dollars every month."

"She told me a long time ago that we had a benefactor from the US. Someone who she was close to for quite a long time. But that doesn't prove that she meant anything to you." Jake snapped, and I noticed Albert's hands tightened.

"My treasure, grab my purse from the car. I need my wallet." I turned towards Wesker, and he nodded, walking off.

"Of course, dearheart, but be careful." He said, walking over to the car.

"What calling off your guard dog? That seems like a dumb move, lady. Especially in these parts, the gangs would tear a rich lady like you up and spit you out in the gutter." Jake said a nasty smirk on his face.

"That's enough, Jake!" HUNK snapped, "Ms. Redfield was my best student when I was employed as a trainer by Umbrella. She probably could kick your ass well up and down this cemetery if she saw fit."

"At ease, Grim, it's not like I couldn't, but I won't. I would not do that to Reina's kid. Not to mention, I'm nine weeks along with triplets. At my age, I have to be extra careful, I already broke my foot in an attempt to escape a B.O.W. I'm not testing my luck anymore this week." I said, Jake, staring in disbelief.

"Damn teach! How old are you?" Jake asked, scrolling through the PDA, "Wait a minute, why are there pictures of me in the photo library? Just who are you?".

"Here you are, dearheart," Albert said, jogging up behind me at a normal human pace and handing me my purse.

"Thank you, love," I said, opening the purse and wallet.

"I asked, who the hell are you?" Jake said, almost getting in my face.

I pulled out my favorite picture, one I knew there were only two copies of. It was of me, Jake, and Reina in the delivery room just after his birth. I placed it in front of his face and softened my voice.

"My name is Tabitha Elise Redfield. This is my husband Albert. Our actual last name is of no consequence. However, this photo is. This photo was taken on June twenty-first nineteen ninety-two. I had just given birth to a male with red hair and beautiful blue eyes. My best friend, who I came to Edonia to find, was beside me in this photo. I was just handed my baby when the doctors took this picture." I said, holding back tears.

"That's the picture Ma had on her nightstand. She always told me that this was her luckiest day. That she would one day tell me about the lady in this picture. When she was on her deathbed, she asked me to bring this picture to her. Said that it was time I knew the truth. I was gone not even thirty minutes. By the time I got back, she was crashing. They wouldn’t let me be by her side." Jake started crying, taking the photo from my hands.

"It's alright, kido. Let it out. You can trust her. It's him I am weary of." HUNK said, pointing at Wesk.

"It has been a long time, hasn't it, Mr. Death? I assure you I'm only here to support my Tabitha." Albert said, holding my stomach, "as well as keeping her and our little ones safe."

"I am sorry to pry, but can we return to Ms. Mueller's funeral? I'm sure you lovely folk can talk after I finish her burial rights." The priest said, walking up behind Jake and HUNK.

"Oh, sorry, Father, I didn't mean to intrude." I quickly apologized as did Albert.

"Then let's head back to the grave site. As long as Mr. Mueller allows it to stay." The father said, walking back.

"Yeah, they can come, but if I find out you're lying to me about who you are, I will not be friendly," Jake said, walking back.

I followed them, but Wesk went back to the car. I could tell Jake was getting under his skin. They were very much alike, temperament-wise, at least. It made me chuckle.

I wasn't going to demand Jake to come live with me and Albert. That wouldn't be right. Reina raised him. I knew I had no claims to call him son. I was just an egg donor. The same could be said about Albert being the sperm donor.

I thought back to my two childhood friends. Jake, who had died of gang violence in Raccoon City when I was fourteen. Reina, who was now beneath my feet from lymphoma. I had a perfectly resin-encased Ice Follies Daffodil in my purse, the same type we had buried with our friend back in seventy-five.

When the priest stopped his prayers, he asked if I had anything to say. I thought for a moment and nodded. HUNK placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and looked at the freshly dug grave.

"Reina, I'm sorry. I honestly don't have much to say. I was a failure of a friend to you. After you moved out of Raccoon to Edonia. It was only by chance I found you again. I stayed with you in hiding for roughly seven months. Those were some of my favorite days. When your son was born, it was the happiest I've ever seen you. You had always wanted to be a mom since we were kids. I knew I had made the right choice when I saw how you held him." I said to the casket.

Jake stared my way with a confused look on his face. He stared at me and then at the picture, then back at me. I saw the gears in his head slowly starting to click into place.

I sighed and lightly kicked my bad foot, "That day while one of my saddest was also one of my happiest. I was able to make my best friend's dream a reality. When we looked at each other and laughed, we both knew then, didn't we? What do you have to name him? Did we not? A name that shared equal meaning to us, Jacob. The name of our friend who brought us all together and held us together like fucking glue. We both know he was in the delivery room that night, keeping an eye on our dumbasses. Reina, just as you promised me that day. I promise the same to you now here and on your grave. I will watch over your son and make sure to do my best to guide him like you did for me. I have something for you, ya know. A daffodil preserved in resin. It's just like the fresh ones we gave Jacob when he passed. You both loved the daffodilys that grew at school."

I pulled out the flower and placed it on the casket. Jake went wide-eyed but smiled and opened the top of the bare casket. I smiled and took one last look at Reina. She looked tired but at peace. A small smile on her lips. Her flowing ginger locks were brushed back and washed. I place the bloom in her cold, fragile hands. Jake closed the casket and I knew the last little bit I had to say.

"Reina, I promise I'll keep him on a path you would be proud of. He is the most sacred bond we have. May you find your way to your eternal spring filled with dillys, and shadows guide you, goodbye." I slightly bow.

HUNK nodded and I saw Jake with tears in his eyes. He was trying to hide it with his arm but it was obvious. When she was lowered into the grave I let my emotions show and cried. The last bit of my contacts dissolved as I wept my tears. I reached into my purse as the rain started to fall. Placing on my new corrective shades I look up to the sky.

"Heaven weeps as a new angel crosses through those golden gates." The Father said pulling out a rickety old umbrella.

Wesker walked up behind me holding a sturdy black umbrella as it began to pour, "Lotus, come wait in the car. We don't want to risk you catching a cold with the little ones still growing. I'll help bury her. That way I can at least pay my respects to Ms. Reina."

"There is no need for that. You four go to Mr. Mueller's home and have a meal. Reina was a member of my flock. I shall see that her grave is fully tended to before the rain stops." The father said reluctantly smiling.

"You both follow me and teach. We will take you guys back to mine and my mother's place, however, once we are there we need to have something settled." Jake said handing me back my picture.

"Are you sure you want to go down this path kid? Where we three are from there is no turning back." HUNK said staring at Jake.

"I sure teach and I think Mom didn't want me to hate my biological mother and father. At least that is the vibe I'm reading. Isn't that right mother, father?" Jake said scratching the back of his neck.

"It would be better if we discussed this at a secure place, but yes you are right. In both senses." I said.

"Then let us take my Mercedes. That way we can avoid this rain." Albert said pulling out his keys.

"Mercedes? Are you guys loaded?" Jake asked a bit annoyed.

"Off the records Yes but it's hard to be rich legally when technically we both have died," I said laughing as we started walking towards the car.

HUNK and Albert laughed while Jake looked confused.

"What does that mean?" He asked trying to catch up.

This was going to be a hard discussion.

Latest Story: Tell Me You Want Me When You’re Sober

I- was NOT expecting to write something today! Hooray for random shocks from my Muse!

Actually, for this story, I'd like to thank @ceejles​. Some minor spoilers for the story, but ceejles’s SpyxFamily fanart inspired this piece. I just kept thinking about these three opening panels to her one fancomic, and picturing Loid as Adult Adrien and Yor as Adult Marinette. Add in the song "Siren" by April Fooze*, and you get this story. (Boy, it's fun to actually KNOW where inspiration came from!)

*April Fooze is the streamer Fuslie’s GTA NoPixel character.

Summary: While at Alya and Nino's house-warming party, Marinette wandered off to take a breather. Noticing her vanishing act, Adrien went to look for her. Hidden away in the guest bedroom being used as a coat-check room, the two take a moment to themselves. The fun little intimate moment between friends becomes more intimate than either of them anticipated.

Tell Me You Want Me When You’re Sober

“Adrien! Dance with me!” Marinette downed the last of her tequila sunrise before slamming the highball glass onto the guest bedroom dresser and pulling Adrien to his feet.

Adrien chuckled. “There isn't any music playing.”

Pouting at him, Marinette fumbled for her phone, and brought up some slinky, sultry club music. She slammed her phone on the dresser beside her glass and then gestured towards it.

“How am I supposed to dance to this?” Adrien laughed again and placed his hands on his hips.

“Oh, like you can't slink around?” Marinette stuck out her tongue. Her hips and head swayed with the music. Her hands slid up her sides, along her jawline, and then met above her head. As her hands traveled, her eyes closed. A smirk crossed her lips just before she gently bit her lower one. Her humming along with the song was what finally hooked her prey.

Adrien's hands wrapped around Marinette's waist, feeling it sway. Her shirt slid up a touch, and his ring and middle fingers brushed against her skin.

“Marinette, maybe we should go back to the party,” Adrien suggested in a hushed tone.

“Mm-mm.” She shook her head and pivoted in Adrien's hands so her back was towards him. She gathered her hair up and off her neck. “I like it in here.”

“Alya and Nino are going to wonder where we've vanished.”

“They have other guests. They won't notice.”

Adrien leaned into Marinette's ear. “I think they might.”

“Mmmm. I wanna dance. There's no place to dance out there.”

“We're in their spare bedroom. There's no place to dance in here either.”

“There's plenty of space.” Marinette slid out of Adrien's hands, kicked off her shoes, and climbed up onto the bed piled with coats.

“That's not a very sturdy dance stage.”

Trying to prove otherwise, Marinette planted her feet and started dipping low as she continued to sway with the music. Her hands traveled across her body before stretching out and beckoning for Adrien to join her.

He shook his head no and curled a finger to beckon her to him instead.

Stubbornly, Marinette twirled on the bed. Her foot caught on one of the coats, throwing her off balance.

“Marinette!” Adrien rushed forward as Marinette tumbled sideways off the bed. He easily caught her in a bridal carry. “You okay?”

She nodded, and he placed her back onto her feet, his hands still firmly on her sides to help steady her.

“I told you that wasn't a good place to dance. Come on, let's get back to the party.”

Eyebrows stitched together in mild frustration, Marinette grabbed either side of Adrien's shirt collar. With a tug she pulled Adrien the few inches down she needed to reach him while on her tiptoes. Their lips collided with a satisfied moan rolling from Marinette's chest.

Eyes wide with a start, Adrien kept a millisecond to register what just happened. As the heat from Marinette's lips reached his brain he leaned into the kiss, slamming her gently into the wall a few inches behind her. Their bodies pressed against each other; her hands still tugging hungrily on his shirt. A low growl rumbled through Adrien's throat. Marinette's tongue pressed against his lips, asking for entry.

With a quick inhale, Adrien pulled away; the spell of the music, low lighting, and muffled sounds of the party around them broken. The faint tang of orange clung to his lips; transferred there from Marinette's tongue.

“Adrien?” Marinette was still pinned against the wall. Her hair was matted around her head like a sloppy halo. Her eyes were half lidded and luring. Her lips were barely parted and a deep red from their brief encounter. The rose in her cheeks had bled to her ears, and Adrien wasn't sure if it was from the booze, the dancing, or the kiss.

“You're drunk,” he whispered.

“I am.” Her right hand followed the trim of his collar to the back of his neck. She gently pulled on it; instructing him to lean back into her.

Adrien rested his forehead against hers; his eyes closed. “You don't know what you want.”

“No,” she whispered back. “Being drunk means I know exactly what I want. But now I'm not going to stop myself from getting it.” Her right hand continued to press on the back of his neck as her left skirted around to his back.

Adrien's breath hitched. He stood frozen with his forehead against hers as she hungrily pulled on him to bring him back to her mouth. The song transitioned to another; this one a bit more upbeat with some rap. Neither of them noticed the music anymore.

Adrien nuzzled against the side of Marinette's face and whispered in her ear. “Marinette. Listen to me. Listen carefully, okay?”

She hummed acknowledgment and tilted her head away; opening her collarbone up to him.

“Marinette, I want you.”

“I want you too, Adrien.” She kissed his jawline. “So, this works out well, doesn't it?” Her hands slid down his body and caught on the waistband of his pants.

“No.” He took a step away from her, catching her hands in his. With an intensity that Marinette didn't recall seeing before, Adrien repeated himself. “I want you. I don't know exactly how drunk you are, so, I'm hoping it's not black-out drunk. I need you to hear this and remember it.” Dropping one of her hands, Adrien cradled her chin instead. “If I'm truly what you want – who you want – know that I want you too.”

“I'm right here, Adrien. I am right here. We're alone. There's a bed-”

Adrien covered her mouth. “Stop! Stop this! Marinette, I know this isn't how you want to do this. This wasn't how you wanted to tell me. This isn't how you pictured us getting together. You don't want it to be while you're drunk and we're hidden away during our best friends' house-warming party. If you truly want it at all.”

Marinette batted his hand off her and ripped her other hand out of his. “Don't! Don't you dare tell me what I do and don't want. You don't know. You're not in my head. You don't know how I feel. You don't know how hard it is for me to not do this every second we're in a room together. Just let me have this! Let me be free! Let me finally get out of my own way! This isn't about Alya or Nino. This is about me and you and us!”

“Then do it right.” Adrien was calm and gentle, almost pleading.

Marinette shook her head in confusion, “I- I don't-”

“Get out of your own way when you're sober! Marinette. I. Want. To be. With. You! I didn't want to tell you that while you're drunk, though. I don't want us getting together to be something you might not remember - or worse - regret.”

“Adrien.”

“I want this to be true. God! For years I've wanted for this-” he gestured towards Marinette and the bed, “-to all be true. Now that it looks like it is?” He heaved a sigh. “Call me tomorrow. When you're sober. We can pick this up again then. If you still want to.”

She stared at him, her eyes frantically scanning his face. His gaze drifted to her still parted lips. With a subtle shudder, he turned towards the dresser. Closing the music app, he scooped up her phone and handed it to her.

“Come on. Let's get you some water and get back to the party before anyone misses us.”

“Adrien?”

“Hmm?”

“You want me?”

“I mean, yeah?”

“Why didn't you tell me?”

“Why didn't you tell me?”

Marinette folded into herself. “That's kind of apples and oranges, isn't it? I mean. I'm me and you're- you.”

“Exactly. I'm surprised you're so shocked that I'd be too nervous to say anything before.”

“Nervous? But, I'm-”

“One of my first friends? Someone who basically has her pick of guys to choose from? The most amazing and kind person I've ever met? Absolutely gorgeous? Yeah, no. What do I have to be nervous about?”

“Adrien. You were a literal model who lived in a mansion.”

“Point?” He smirked.

“Call me tomorrow? If I forget to? If I get in my own way again?”

He nodded and held out his hooked arm for her. She threaded her arm through his and he escorted her to the kitchen for some water.

.

The next day, she made the phone call they had both been waiting on for years.

to find promise of peace (and the solace of rest): a TMA fanfic

<;< Beginning < Prev. || AO3 || Next > Latest >>

Chapter 21: June 1999

Gerard doesn’t know if the man droning on and on in front of the crowd should properly be called a priest or a minister or a preacher or what, but he’s not wearing a clerical collar and he’s incredibly dull. The only thing keeping him from making faces to try and make the flower girl and ring bearer laugh is the fact that he knows the bride will kill all three of them if they do. If the Matron of Honor doesn’t beat her to it.

Uncle Roger looks happy, at least. Aunt Lily doesn’t exactly look happy, but at least she doesn’t look completely miserable. Martin and Melanie are hard to read from the outside. Gerard knows they’re both excited about what this means, and they’re taking this very seriously, but he also knows neither one of them is particularly comfortable.

Mostly it’s the clothes. Martin’s suit, while in theory made to fit, is just a bit too tight around the middle and shoulders, and his shiny black dress shoes are narrow and pointed and probably pinching his feet, which are short for his size but wide. Melanie, on the other hand, is stuffed into a monstrosity of taffeta and tulle and metallic-threaded lace that would emphasize her curves if she had any and wearing a pair of white patent-leather heels that bring her up to Martin’s shoulder. Neither one of them can fold their arms all the way, leaving Melanie clutching both handles of her now-empty basket and elbows akimbo like a marching band member at attention and Martin biting his lips in concentration as he fights to keep his hands at the perfect distance to not drop the pillow resting on them.

It’s also hot and stuffy in the venue; Gerard is having enough of a problem, but at least there are people around him fanning themselves to keep him cool. It’s practically airless where the bridal party stands. Melanie’s hair, pressed into ringlets for the occasion, has gone limp in the heat, whereas Martin’s by contrast has curled more tightly than usual. The flames on the candles on the altar aren’t even flickering.

Still. It’s the first wedding Gerard has ever been to; not much of a surprise, as he’s a thirteen-year-old boy with no relatives aside from his mother and no connections other than the people involved in this wedding. It means he has nothing to compare it to, but it is rather nice, and a bit exciting.

If only the officiant would shut up already.

He does, finally, and then there’s a lot of talk about bonds and sanctity, and both Uncle Roger and Aunt Lily are making promises and reciting oaths. Martin steps forward carefully and presents the pillow—there’s a small tearing sound as the seam up the back of his suit jacket splits but doesn’t completely separate, thank goodness—and the couple slip rings on one another’s fingers, rings Gerard knows are made not of gold or silver but of polished bone. The officiant declares them man and wife, and they kiss, not particularly romantically or tenderly but sincerely enough.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” the officiant says at last, “I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Roger King.”

Polite applause, the wedding march strikes up and the party processes out, and Gerard is free. Or at least as free as he can be under the circumstances.

He ditches his seat and goes looking for Martin and Melanie.

He finds them in a vestibule, tucked safely out of the way. Martin has shucked his suit jacket and stands behind Melanie, unzipping the back of her dress. Anyone else would think they were up to something inappropriate, for all they’re only ten years old, but even if they hadn’t just become stepsiblings, Martin’s known he likes boys even longer than Gerard has and Melanie swore both of them to secrecy over the fact that she got Rose Lovejoy to kiss her right before break. Still and all, it’s probably a good thing they’re somewhere hidden.

“There,” Martin says, draping his discarded jacket over Melanie’s shoulders. The split is far less noticeable, considering she’s half his size and it hangs loosely on her. “Should be enough to pass muster, anyway.”

“Thank God we did the pictures ahead of time.” Melanie turns around and grins when she sees Gerard. “Hey!”

Martin turns, too. Gerard beams and holds out his arms. “Congratulations!”

They both hug him tightly. It’s cooler out here, at least, but they’re all still a bit sticky and they probably hug for too long under those circumstances. Still, Gerard is probably almost as excited for them as they are. Uncle Roger and Aunt Lily being married means Martin and Melanie won’t ever have to risk being separated—they’ll have at least one friend they can always count on, no matter where they go. Gerard will always hunt them down, too, but it’s not the same thing.

They’re family now, real family, and nobody deserves to have a loving family more than they do.

“I can’t believe this is real,” Melanie says into his shoulder. “It feels like I’m going to wake up any minute and it’s just going to be another dream.”

“I can’t believe it’s real, either,” Martin admits.

“I can believe it’s real, because if this was just a nice dream it wouldn’t be so bloody hot,” Gerard says, making both of them laugh. He pulls back and grins at them. Melanie’s got a life in her eyes he’s rarely seen, and Martin looks happier than he has since they laid his grandfather in the ground fifteen months ago. “I’ve never been to a wedding before. Do they usually go like that?”

“More or less,” Melanie says. “They didn’t have the ‘speak now or forever hold your peace’ part, though.”

“Probably so no one could object,” Martin mumbles. He wipes his forehead with the back of his hand. “I was kind of worried Mum wouldn’t do it at the last minute, though. O-or that—that my dad would suddenly come back and say it was all a mistake.”

Gerard snorts. “Dead men rarely walk into the middle of highly emotional situations with nothing more than a hi, everyone, did you miss me, so I don’t think there’s any worry of that.”

Martin’s brow creases in evident confusion. “He’s not dead. He just left us. With Mum being sick, and me—he said we weren’t worth it and walked out on us a couple months before I met you.”

Oh. Okay, Gerard is, as usual, an idiot, and he definitely walked right into that. It’s going to be hard dancing at the reception with his foot in his mouth, but he’ll give it a go. “Shit. Uh, Martin, I don’t—I’m pretty sure he’s dead.” He drops his voice as low as he can. “I think he’s in Mum’s Book.”

Martin’s face turns paper white. They all know what the Book is—Gerard’s mother showed it to them last year just after Martin’s birthday, telling them to watch closely and then reading aloud in a language Gerard now knows was Sanskrit from one of the pages until somehow, none of them saw the moment it happened, the ghost of a woman appeared in front of them sobbing and begging to be freed. She meant it to demonstrate what wonderful things could be done with a powerful book in the “right hands,” or so she said, but all of them had been terrified. More so when she explained to them in detail exactly how all the people had become trapped in its pages, and what she would do to them if they ever displeased her.

“What makes you think that?” Melanie demands in a hissing whisper. “Did you see him?”

“No, but I heard Mum and Aunt Lily talking once, and it sounded like Mum was teaching her to read in some other language, and when she read that page to us I recognized some of the words. And after a while, she told Aunt Lily that ‘in a few more days, you’ll be ready to pull him up whenever you want, you’d be amazed how cathartic it is’. Something like that.”

Martin swallows hard, twisting his hands together. “That—that doesn’t mean it’s my dad. I-I mean…it could be anyone who’s done something bad to Mum.”

“Like who?” Melanie demands.

“I dunno. Anybody. Everybody. To hear Mum tell it, the whole world’s been against her since the day she was born, except Roger and Aunt Mary.” For the first time Gerard has ever heard in all the time he’s known him, a little bit of bitterness slips into Martin’s tone when he speaks about his mother. “Depending on how long ago it was, it might even be Granddad.”

“It was longer ago than that,” Gerard assures him quickly, before Melanie can get spun up. He only met Martin’s grandfather once or twice, but the old man was amazingly kind to both him and Melanie, treating them both like they were as much his grandchildren as Martin. The thought of him being bound in the Book is even more painful than the thought of Martin’s father—or Gerard’s—being bound to it, but Gerard is sure he isn’t. “It was even before Aunt Lily and Uncle Roger were dating. Why’d they wait so long to start, anyway?”

“Dad had to wait for the mourning period for Mama to be up,” Melanie answers, still looking tense but not pushing things. “He can be kind of old-fashioned sometimes. It might have been Grandmama and Grandfather pushing it, too, but I dunno. Anyway, he didn’t just wait a year after she died, he waited a year after he met Lily.” She pauses and looks up at Martin uncertainly. “Am…am I going to be calling her Mum too?”

Martin looks uncertain. “I dunno. That’s kind of up to her, I guess. Just like it’ll be up to your dad if I can call him that, too.” He thinks for a moment. “Actually, it might be Mum’s call on that, too.”

Gerard decides to try and change the subject. “We can worry about that later, I think. C’mon, let’s get out there for the reception.”

“Yeah, they’ll both be upset if we miss the cake-cutting,” Melanie agrees.

Martin gives an exaggerated bow and offers her his arm dramatically. “May I escort you, milady?”

“You may, good sir,” Melanie drawls, resting her fingertips delicately on his arm. She extends her other hand towards Gerard. “Will you accompany us, my liege?”

Gerard bows so low his hair—which he’s managed to avoid letting his mother cut for long enough that it’s down to his shoulders—brushes the floor, then sticks out his arm. “It would be my honor, mademoiselle.”

All three of them dissolve into a fit of giggles as they proceed towards the courtyard, where the reception has been set up. Gerard knows it’s going to be rough—that Martin’s mum will find something to pick at or belittle him over, that Gerard’s mum will be poisonously sweet and do something hurtful to them, that Melanie’s dad will be too wrapped up in his little cloud of bliss to notice and none of them will tell him for fear of upsetting him—but for the moment, he’s happy to be a teenager, reveling in his friends’ joy.

He can save the little bit of hurt over the fact that they get to really be brother and sister, while he’s just going to be called that, for later. There will be time enough for sadness, for knowing that he’ll never matter as much to them as they do to each other, some other time. For now, he’s going to put it out of his mind and enjoy the moment.

Bridal Style Tips for a Perfect Beach Wedding

A beach wedding embodies the essence of romance, freedom, and natural beauty. The soothing sound of waves, the soft sand beneath your feet, and the picturesque backdrop create an unforgettable setting.

However, planning a bridal look that complements the beach environment requires careful consideration. From choosing the perfect wedding dress to nailing your makeup, here’s a quick guide to ensure you look stunning on your special day.

Choosing the Perfect Beach Wedding Dress

The key to selecting the ideal beach wedding dress lies in balancing comfort and style. Here are some tips to guide your decision:

Fabric Selection: Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like chiffon or tulle. These materials flow beautifully with the sea breeze and keep you cool under the sun.

Silhouette: A-line and sheath silhouettes are popular choices for beach weddings. They offer a relaxed fit that’s easy to move in, yet they maintain a flattering shape.

Length: Consider a dress with a shorter hemline, like tea-length or high-low styles, to avoid dragging the fabric through the sand. If you prefer a full-length gown, a lightweight, flowy train that can be easily bustled is ideal.

Detailing: Minimalist designs with delicate lace or subtle beading are perfect for a beach wedding. Avoid heavy embellishments that may feel too formal or cumbersome in a casual, outdoor setting.

Color: While traditional white is timeless, don’t shy away from subtle shades like ivory, blush, or champagne, which can complement the natural tones of the beach.

For a beautiful selection of high-quality wedding dresses that would potentially match a beachside wedding, we recommend Ladivine! They have a pulse on the latest wedding dress trends and each of their dresses exemplifies quality. Visit their website to browse through their selection.

Footwear for the Sand and Sea

Your footwear choice is crucial when navigating sandy terrain. Here are some options to consider:

Barefoot Sandals: These are an elegant and comfortable option. They mimic the look of sandals with intricate beadwork or lace but leave your soles bare, making it easy to walk on the sand.

Flat Sandals: If you prefer a bit of protection, choose flat sandals with simple, delicate straps. Opt for styles embellished with pearls or crystals for a touch of bridal elegance.

No Shoes: Embrace the beach vibe and go barefoot. Adorn your feet with anklets or toe rings for a bohemian touch.

Bridal Hairstyling for a Beach Setting

Beach weddings often come with breezy conditions, so it’s essential to choose a hairstyle that can withstand the elements:

Loose Waves: Soft, flowing waves are a classic choice that complements the beach setting. Use a lightweight mousse or sea salt spray to enhance natural texture and hold.

Braided Styles: Braids are both practical and beautiful for a beach wedding. Consider a fishtail braid, a braided crown, or a half-up, half-down style with braids to keep your hair in place.

Updos: For a more polished look, opt for a low bun or chignon. These styles can be adorned with seashells, pearls, or floral accents for a beachy touch.

Accessories to Complete Your Look

Accessorizing is all about enhancing your bridal style without overwhelming it:

Jewelry: Opt for delicate, minimalistic pieces. Pearl earrings, a simple necklace, or a dainty bracelet can add a touch of elegance without being too heavy or flashy.

Veil Alternatives: If you want to forgo a traditional veil, consider a flower crown, a bohemian-inspired headband, or a chic hairpin. These options are more suited to a beachy atmosphere.

Bouquet: Incorporate tropical flowers like orchids, plumeria, or hibiscus into your bouquet. Add elements like seashells or driftwood for a unique, beach-inspired arrangement.

A Beautiful Beach Wedding Starts With the Perfect Wedding Dress

A beach wedding offers a unique and breathtaking setting for your special day. By carefully considering your wedding dress, accessories, hair, and by embracing the natural beauty of the surroundings, you can create a bridal look that’s both stylish and comfortable! To get started, visit Ladivine to start shopping for your dream beach wedding dress!
