Nine

It was a perfect day for an Autumn wedding, church bell ringing, the wedding was about to start. 

"Kids? Can you come here in the living room for a sec?"

Then Alice heard a light footsteps coming on her way,

"what do you want to talk about mom? I'm doing my homework"

Her son frown, only to get smack on the back of his head by his twin, she laugh at this. 

Sometimes she wonder why they doesn't act like they're mere 7 years old.

"I want to talk about your dad"

She smile sadly at them.

Alice can't lie to them any more. At least they deserve to know the truth.

"Dad died, didn't he?" 

Her daughter said, face litting to the side.

"I lied"

Alice said, avoiding an eye contact with them.

Well of course, Sky already knew the truth.

"I know"

Alice look up in shock at her daughters words.

"I was actually waiting for you two to admit that to me"

She added.

"Our Father was one of the top 3 pro Heroes right Mom?"

Alice nod,

"His name is Shotou Todoroki right?"

She added,

Alice nod once again, her brother jaw dropped.

"I told you mom"

she whine,

"I may look dumb but I'm smarter than I look"

She said with a giggle.

"So.... You're not mad?"

Alice asked, heart hammering on her chest.

"Nope!"

She said with a smile.

"How could I ever get mad to you when his the one marrying someone right now?"

She said, and it shock her mother again to see her gray eyes full of hatred. But then she blink, her carefree aura coming back.

She can be scary if she want too, haha.

"wait. How did you know that?"

This time it was Sky who asked.

"I saw it on the news"

Cloud said, pointing the TV. Making Alice chuckle at this.

"Do you understand the reason why your father and I could never be together?"

Alice asked them, at the same time inside, she can't help but to feel sad, they're too young to know these things.

But she didn't have that much time to spare. So she have to tell them now.

"Yes. You still love him to ruined his happiness"

But little does she know, She was always been his happiness, never once did that changed.

"Well, you could say that"

then she give them a hug.

"But always remember this"

Alice peck at their cheeks.

"You're father and I did what we had to do"

She started, arms still around them.

"I may regret the way we ended, but I will never regret what we had"

Their mother pull away from them and give them a heart warming smile.

"And what we had was you chipmunks"

Alice said pinching their cheeks.

"I love you two"

'"We love you too Mom"

"Well then, I'm going to go get some rest in my room"

"Shotou!"

Then he snap out of his glaze, in front of her was Momo in her glorious white wedding dress. She gave him a look.

Sky entered their mothers room like he always does.

He saw her sleeping form, and shake her a bit.

Her skin felt cold as ice.
