“AH, Yes,” he kisses me swallowing my screams. I feel him start to twitch inside me. “Vivienne I love you.” I muster the strength to open my eyes, and watch his eyes go dark as he explodes against my walls.
“You make it real for me Vivienne.” He stops momentarily to look into my eyes. “From now on you are mine, as I am yours.” He murmurs and collapses on top of me too tired to move.
In bed that night I listen closely to the shallow sounds Daemon makes while he sleeps. I remember the beautiful way slivers of moonlight lighted our bodies in our night of passion. Our hearts and bodies were entwined as we submitted to each other as we made love.
Epilogue:
3 months later-
"I can't get this damn thing zipped." I yell to Cheri. "Hello?? Bride in distress over here" she makes her way over towards me shaking her head.
"I knew it was a bad idea to get the dress so soon" Lauren comes over to help hold the dress together while Cheri zips up the back.
"I heard of eating for two but you eat enough for a family of five" Lauren adds
"I can't help it babies have to eat." I say and pop another pastry in my mouth. Nikki immediately stops working on my hair and veil.
"Did you say babies?" Nikki squeals as I hold up 2 fingers, smiling at my friends, as they all squeal in delight. Nikki wipes a stray tear from face with a tissue.
"Oh Viv!" they exclaim as everyone runs over to pull me in a tight hug.
"When?" Lauren asks. Everyone is surprised I’ve kept this news to myself.
"I just found out on Thursday when I went for my first sonogram."
"What did Daemon say when you told him?" Cheri asks
"He doesn't know yet. I wanted to wait for the right moment to tell him" I say shrugging.
“Haven’t you learned your lesson yet about not sharing things with Daemon?” Cheri says shaking her head.
"This is so romantic." Lauren says with a sigh
"Just make sure he's not behind the wheel when you spring the news on him." Nikki says seriously.
"I cannot believe all this is happening." Cheri says fanning her face, trying not to cry.
I look around at my three best friends, and can’t believe how I got here. "I just want to thank all of you for being here and sharing this special day with me." I start sobbing again and can barely get the words out. "I finally have a family."
"Ok that's enough." Cheri says looking up at the ceiling, fanning her face even faster. "There is not enough time for all of us to reapply makeup."
"She’s right; now get over here so we can get you in that dress, your man is waiting for you." Nikki says.
When hear the music start to play, that’s our cue, and the doors are opened to start the procession into the church. I hear my song, ‘You Make it Real’, and I move to stand in the doorway. I feel the butterflies in my stomach as I look out at the full pews of people. I close my eyes and take a deep breath and when I open them, I look straight ahead and see Daemon smiling at me. As I slowly make my descent down the aisle towards my future, I am just overwhelmed with so much emotion. Daemon comes to meet me and takes my hand in his. He puts his left arm around my waist and rests his right on belly.
"You are so beautiful” Daemon whispers to me.
"You're not too bad yourself in that tux." I say.
"I love you so much." he whispers and kisses my cheek.
As we move to the candle lighting, I decide I can’t take it anymore. I slip him the picture of the sonogram from the Dr's office. He looks at the picture and holds up two fingers, and I nod my head in confirmation. Daemon kneels in front of me, hands around my waist and kisses my belly twice, tears spilling from his eyes. I reach down to cup his face lovingly, he pulls himself back together and we finish the ceremony.
The reception is amazing, full of family, music, dancing and laughing. It was more than I could have ever dreamed.
"Ok, Ladies this is the time you have all been waiting for….line up for the bouquet toss." The band director announces.
When everyone is in position, I turn around and toss the flowers over my head with both hands. I immediately know who has caught it when I hear. "Aw Fuck Me." I step down off the stage and make my way towards Cheri; she begrudgingly lets me give her a hug. "Ooh this is so going to be fun." I say to her with a wicked grin.
