Madison rolled her eyes. Victoria's words making her upset in the stomach. "That's it, no more strap-ones," Madison said seriously looking at Victoria.
"But um... You can't just stop." Victoria groaned and Madison grinned.
"I can if I want to."
"Why do we keep heading off topic?' Victoria sighed and reached for the sheet to cover her body. She knew the argument was useless since she was definitely not going to stop using toys and neither was Madison.
"Because we have so much to talk about."
"Yea, a lot of sex to talk about."
"You started it." Madison crossed her arms over her chest still lying down.
"I initiated sex. You are the one always talking about sex." Madison rolled her eyes and got up. She walked into the adjoining bathroom and stepped into the shower. She turned the shower knob as the hot water cascaded down onto her body. Feeling arms wrap around her from behind, she smiled feeling an immediate comfort.
"You are hot, wet, and naked," Victoria mumbled huskily into Madison's ear.
"Baby, I am getting too old to keep up with your sex drive." Madison sighed, not feeling like going for another round. Everything was sore and all she wanted to do was cuddle up and take a long nap.
Victoria kissed her neck and then sucked gently but hard enough to leave a mark. "You do know that I am older than you, right?' Victoria laughed as she ran her tongue down Madison's collarbone.
"Hmm... I can't keep up with you." Madison mumbled and turned. Victoria pushed her against the bathroom wall and gripped Madison's hips.
"You are doing just fine," Victoria whispered as her fingers trailed along Madison's waist. "I just can't help myself, you are so sexy not to touch."
"Mm," Madison moaned as Victoria gripped her hair by the roots and pulled gently. "You do know what I like." She whispered and closed her eyes.
Victoria smiled against Madison's skin. "I'll start packing when we are done."
Madison opened her eyes. "Now, we are going to talk about that?' Victoria kissed her ignoring the question and took a step forward slipping in the process.
"Fuck." She exclaimed as her eyes became blurry and she felt a sharp pain in her elbow.
''Baby," Madison screamed, turning off the shower and knelt down. "Are you okay? What hurts? Do I need to take you to the ER?' Madison threw question after question as Victoria regained proper sight. She got up with Madison's help.
"You can help me get to bed." She said as they walked into the room. She plopped down on the bed checking for any signs of blood but there was just a fading pain in her elbow. "I am okay." She smiled at Madison. "But I think I need some cuddles."
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Weeks flew by in an instant. Madison and Victoria were back in London and decided it was finally time to tie the knot. Madison had bought Victoria a white gold, diamond embedded ring a few weeks prior but Victoria did not want to wear it yet since it would feel more special for Madison to place it on her finger on their wedding day instead. With that, Madison had wanted to buy an engagement ring as well, but Victoria found that as a waste of money. So, with Madison's stubbornness to buy Victoria unnecessary expensive things, she bought Victoria a diamond necklace that she would gift her on their wedding day which had finally come.
"Damn, you look good," Melody said as she sat on a chair looking at Madison fixing the collar of her shirt. Madison rolled her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked neither too butch nor too femme.
'Thank you. I am so proud of myself." Madison fixed her hair that was down and flowing. "Can you check on Victoria for me?'
"No, I will not. You just want information on what your future wife is doing." Madison sighed and ran her hand through her hair.
"I just want to make sure she is okay."
"She is, her mother is there, he brother is somewhere around, and stop stressing yourself out."
Madison took a seat and propped her face up on her elbows. "How is mom?' She questioned since she hadn't seen the woman since that night she told her off.
"I honestly do not know, we have not talked much."
"Too bad you moved out."
"Independence is needed when raising a child." Melody touched her stomach which was almost a watermelon already. It looked like she was having twins from the size of it.
"Everyone needs help and I am here, okay." Melody rolled her eyes but smiled.
"When there is a shortage of diapers I know who to call.”
They then heard a rap on the door. "Madison." She heard her father's voice. She got up and opened the door to see her father along with Charles. She allowed them space to enter and closed the door.
"How are you feeling?' Her father asked. Madison sighed and smiled.
"Excited, nervous, maybe a bit of anxiety."
"Don't worry, you two were made for each other."
"Where is Courtney?' Madison questioned knowing that she would have most likely come.
"She has an impromptu surgery to assist in but she will hopefully be here on time."
"What she is doing is much more important, let her take her time."
Madison placed her hand in her pocket, feeling the small box touching her fingertips and remembered she wanted to present Victoria with the necklace before the wedding.
"Melody, can you do me a favor?''
'You still owe me for the last favor, you know."
"Please, it is my wedding day after all."
Melody rolled her eyes, "fine, what do you want?'
Madison got up and walked towards her bag and took out the white, rectangular box that held the necklace she bought for Victoria. She opened it for Melody to see. "It's beautiful," Melody exclaimed as Gregory and Richard took a look at it.
"She will love it, honey." Her father said before giving her a hug. "I am so happy that you have finally found happiness." A tear escaped his eye as he parted his embrace from his daughter. Madison closed the box and handed it to Melody.
"Tell her that I am waiting for her."

Victoria's mother zipped up her dress from behind and Victoria looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed trying to control her excitement, but it was difficult when she was marrying the woman she had loved for so long.
"Victoria." She heard a familiar voice and turned to see that it was Melody. Her baby bump was so huge already. She spotted a white, rectangular box in her hand and wondered what it was.
"Your woman sent this to you. She said she is waiting. Don't know why you two have to be so sappy all the time, it is depressing." Victoria smiled as Melody handed her the box.
She opened it and took it out allowing its shininess to dangle. She swallowed, not sure how to explain that it was too tacky for her liking.
"Don't like it, huh?' Victoria looked at Melody who was grinning as her mother took the necklace out of her hand.
"It is rather expensive though." Her mother said.
"That's the point." Victoria sighed. "I don't want expensive things, especially so shiny." She said as she took the necklace back from her mother and hooked it around her neck.
"And you are still going to wear it?' Melody questioned.
"Of course. It is the thought that counts. I mean I bet you like it anyways."
"Well, it is beautiful."
"I guess I am different then. But I love the sentiment."
****
Madison looked at the woman she loved walked down the aisle. The necklace she had bought her hung beautifully around her neck and enhanced her elegance and style.
It was a beautiful day and there was no regret in choosing the outdoors to carry out the ceremony.
Victoria looked so beautiful and her smile that shined brighter than the sun warmed the little coldness inside of Madison's heart. Though Madison was not on terms with her mother, she still wished her mother would have been accepting enough to be at her wedding. But it was not the time to think about that. It was supposed to a happy day. The happiest day of
Madison's life and Madison felt the explosion of that happiness instantly as Victoria neared her.
Victoria stood in front of Madison, those green eyes staring intently into brown ones with so much love and compassion.
Everyone sat, and the Minister began. "We are gathered today in the presences of family and friends for the joining in the bond of matrimony of Madison Pierce and Victoria Wilson." The Minister continued but Madison was too focused on looking at the woman she loved to listen. Then, she felt a nudge on her shoulder and looked behind her knowing that it was Melody. She turned her face back and realized that the minister had said something that she had to answer when he repeated his sentence. "Do you, Madison Pierce, take Victoria Wilson to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for the rest of your lives?"
"I do." Madison smiled as the words flowed delicately from her lips.
"Do you, Victoria Wilson, take Madison Pierce to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for the rest of your lives?"
"I do." Victoria’s heart raced with happiness.
"Now we will commence with the vows, Madison," The minister looked at her as she cleared her throat.
"Victoria, I have loved you since I can remember, though I do not have a good memory," Madison grinned. "I always thought my love for you was unrequited, I never told you how I felt, and you did not either. I spent years sleeping with other women," Madison cringed as she felt Victoria's nails dig into the back of her hand, "I had no particular desire for because there was always a void in my heart that only you could fill." Madison spoke quickly trying to clarify. "When I saw you at that dinner table," Madison rubbed her thumb on the back of Victoria's hand. She felt a sudden presence and looked around to see her mother standing in the crowd of people sitting. She wondered if she had seen a ghost when she saw a small smile and an approving nod from her. A tear almost escaped her eye as she looked back at the beautiful woman in front of her and continued. "I knew my feelings never faded and my feelings for you will never weaken, with each day that I learn more and more about you, I fall harder, even with your sometimes-overbearing possessiveness." Madison smiled and looked towards her mother once again. "I love you with all my heart and no one can ever change that." She said lastly more to her mother than Victoria, "I love you so much." She couldn't help but add.
"Victoria," the minister looked at her.
Victoria smiled and shook her head, "You are the love of my life, and I never thought someone could ever make me as happy as you have done. Your love has given me hope that the world is a better place than it seems that love stands above all else. We have been through so much, after everything that has happened I can't bear to even think that I can ever live without you. You are the air that fills my lungs, the sun that gives my cold heart warmth, the breath of fresh air that keeps my withering heart from dying, you are my everything." The tears she had been holding through Madison's vows finally fell, only to be captured quickly by the beautiful woman standing before her. "I love you."
