Chapter 26: The wedding

Since the announcements I have been resting more. Koa has been helping out a lot getting ready for the wedding. My sister has been back and forth helping me and asking a few questions they needed to know about the wedding.

I noticed how tired Alora was and I said, "Alora?" "Yes Raven." "You can rest right now. Take a breather. Lets talk sister to sister." "I guess I can for a short while. Ace is calling the other prince and princess close by to come." "That's good." "So I know your not married yet. As far as I know you don't even have a boyfriend yet. Now is your chance at my wedding. Like you said Ace is calling the prince's and Princesses. I know most of them are single. Please pick one for my sake. If not for yours. Or for my baby's sake. The baby needs you to meet someone. I am younger than you and already having a kid. It should be the other way around." "Hehe. Oh Raven. I will try. I promise." "Thankyou. Well at lease Ace has someone. I hope she comes to the ball." "Yeah she is really beautiful. Like a goddess." "I know right? She has white hair and green eyes. She likes light blue clothing. That's the only color we ever really see her wear. Oh I see the way you look at prince Keir. You two would make an adorable couple. You should go talk to him at the wedding. I know for a fact he will be there. I called him personally." "Raven. Are you serious? Yep and I told him about you too. Don't worry its good stuff. Hehe." Alora blushed. "Oh and he said that if you didn't come up to him, he would come up to you." "Oh dear. Either way it can't be avoided." "Hehe nope. Sorry Alora." "Well I'm going to be nervous for awhile." "Hey alora? What do you do that calms you down?" "I sew. Why?" "Well do you have the stuff with you?" "Why don't you get the stuff out of your pocket and do it. It will calm you down. I can't do my stuff to calm me down because its training. I guess Koa and you can calm me down sometimes." "That's good. Like the doc said if you are stressed so is the baby. So try to be calm ok?" "Thanks Alora. I'm so glad I have a sister like you." "Oh Raven thanks." Then she started sewing and I read a book.

A few minutes later, Alora said, "Well I better get out there and help. Do you need anything Raven?" "Not at the moment. Thanks." So she left out the door to help with the wedding.

"I am so bored. I wish I didn't have to stay in bed so long. Maybe I can sneak out the window." I got up and opened the window and got out. I was very quiet. I am usually good at that. Luckily no one saw me and I headed for the garden.

There was a knock on Raven's door. (Knock Knock) No answer. Tate opened the door and saw Raven wasn't there. The window was still open. "Damn her! She is good at that stuff. Sorry Koa." "Its ok I know where she might be. Thanks Tate." Koa walked to the garden and looked around. He smiled when he finally found her. "Hey Raven." "Oh Hey Koa. So you knew I was here?" "Well we saw you escaped through your window and I knew you had to be here somewhere." Koa sat down next to me. "Koa? What do you want to have? A boy or a girl?" "Well I want a happy healthy baby. I don't have a preference. If it's a girl, I want her to look like you." "If it's a boy, I hope he has your face. You have a really handsome face Koa." "Aww thanks Raven." Then we kissed on the lips for a few minutes. Once we parted I said, "Oh did dad call the others on the island?" "Yes calm down Raven. He called Zoro and Nikita. Even the elder is going to be there. The vice elder will take over while he is gone. Yes he also got ahold of this sage guy and Zyler." "Oh good. Thanks. I escaped because it was so boring there. I had to get out for some fresh air. Plus it smells good here too because of all the flowers. I really don't have a preference for flowers. They are all beautiful in their own way just like people are." "Oh Raven you are really a kind person aren't you?" "I guess I can be when I want to." "Haha. Yeah that's true." "Oh Koa. We should think about names for the child. We need to pick out a girl name and a boy name. Since we won't know what the baby is until it is born." "Yeah your right. Hmm….Lets see. What about Ciel for a boy name?" "I actually like that name. Its unique. I like Keeva for a girl name. What about you for a girl name?" "Hmm…I like Kira. I know what about Keeva and Kira for the middle name?" "Yeah that would be good sounds good. We have our names now. When someone asks again we have out names picked out." "haha Yeah." So we stayed and visited for awhile then it was time to go inside. Koa helped me up and we headed inside. We walked like we did at the ball. I put my hand in his arm. Then I leaned into is shoulder and he leaned back. We continued to walk back to the palace like that.

We got into the palace, I saw Tate and I bowed down to apologize. "I'm sorry Tate. I was just so bored in here I had to get out." "Its fine. Just let me know next time and I will take you ok? You are in your cruicual moments according to the doctor. You need to take it easy." "Yes I know. I'm sorry." "Like I said its ok just let me know next time." Then I smiled and he smiled back. "Oh good its lunchtime right now. The baby and I are hungry. Lets go Koa." "Yes maam. Don't want to make you and the baby too hungry." We both laughed.

We got to the dining room and sat down. The food was already on the table. Koa helped me get my food since it was hard for me to get to it. "Thanks Koa." "No problem Raven." So we ate our food and visited everyone who was there.

It was finally the day before the wedding. I had to have my dress altered because of my pregnancy. I had to make sure it would fit. Alora came in with my wedding dress. "Oh good my dress is here. I hope it still fits." "I'm sure since its altered you will be fine. Here lets help you get it on." "Alora you know you don't have to do this? We have maids for this." "I know. But I want to help my little sister prepare for her wedding day." "I guess so. Thanks." I got into my wedding dress, but now is the time for zipping it. Lets hope for the best. Alora was able to zip my dress fine. "Yes it fits since the alteration. Good. I hope it still fits by tomorrow." "Oh I'm sure it will Raven. Plus your not showing that much anyway." "Yeah I guess your right. Oh we picked out names for the baby. If it's a girl we are going to name it Keeva. Kira for the middle name. For the boy name is Ciel. I'm surprised he mentioned that name. I liked that name since I was little. Hehe." "What wonderful names." "Thanks Alora." We got my dress off and I changed back into my normal clothes. "Ahh much more comfortable. Right baby? Hehe." "I think the baby agrees. Hehe." Then we talked a bit until there was a Knock at the door. (Knock knock) "Who is it?" "Its Koa." "Oh no! Hide the dress Alora!" Alora hung the dress in my closet and closed it. "Ok You may come in." "Hello Raven." "I will be out there doing whatever. Have fun you too. Hehe" said Alora. She left and I said, "Hey Koa. What brings you here?" "How are you feeling?" "Oh I feel fine surprisingly. Not as much nausea as I thought." "Well that's good." So we talked a bit then we got busy if you know what I mean then we got clothed. "Wow that was awesome Koa." "Yeah it sure was. You were so cute and sensitive. I guess that's how pregnant women are." "Hehe I guess so." "Well tomorrow we are going to be husband and wife. I can't wait to marry you Raven." "I know. I feel the same."

The next morning it was finally the day of the wedding. The wedding is supposed to happen at noon. I got up and got my normal clothes on and headed to breakfast. When I got to the dining room I saw Koa and the others already there. I went over to Koa and sat next to him. "Hey Raven. Good morning." "Morning Koa. Morning everyone." I said. Then we ate our breakfast. We are going to have our lunch at the wedding.

Once breakfast was done, I told Tate I wanted to head to the garden. He followed me to the bench I sat on before with Koa under the Pink cherry blossom tree. I heard a sound thinking it was Tate then I heard it again and it wasn't him. I turned around and jumped a little. "Koa don't do that! You scared the crap out of us!" "haha. Sorry. Raven. Sorry baby." "You are going to be one fun father. I can already see it." "Haha you thing so?" "Well you are already energetic. I don't know where the hell you get it." "Haha. Well I don't know. I guess I'm just a healthy guy." "Yeah well I guess so." Koa kissed me on the cheek. "How is our baby doing?" "The baby is fine. It's the mother that you need to worry about." I said. "What. Is something wrong with mommy?" Koa Joked and kissed me on the cheek again. "Koa we are not alone you know. Tates here." "Haha he doesn't mind do you?" "No I'm good." "See he doen't care." "That's not the point Koa. Its embarrassing to me." "OK I'll stop kissing you in front of Tate." "Thank you."

Finally it was time to go in and get ready for the wedding. Tate walked with me to my room and said, "I will be out here guarding your door ok?" "Thank you tate. If Koa comes by don't let him in. He will have to wait till I walk down the isle ok?" "Order received." I went into my room and Alora was there waiting for me. Ok lets get your hair done. I will do your makeup." The same man that did my hair before did it today. Then my sister Alora did my makeup as promised. Then Alora helped me into my dress and I felt relieved it still fit since yesterday.

Alora and I heard a commotion out there. Aparently Koa wanted to see me. "hehe. Oh Koa. I want to see you too. I'm sorry but you have to wait." I said quietly. I went over to the door and made it louder so he can hear. I said to him what I said Quietly to myself. "Ok Fine I guess I will have to be surprised." "Hehe Yeah you will. Trust me. You will." I heard someone say its time. To Koa. "Oh is it that time already? I am so nervous. Alora." "You will be fine sister. You are marrying your true love." "Hehe. Yeah I am. I just wish I can train right now. I know I can't because of my condition right now." "Once you see your soon to be husband, and actually get married you should be fine." "Yeah I hope your right."

It was finally time to walk to the room I was going to get married in. Alora and my brother Jason got an arm and walked me to the room.

Once we finally got to the room, Father and mother were waiting to walk me down the isle. Mother had my veil. "Here you are my dear. You look beautiful." "Thank you so much." "Your welcome Raven." Dad had my right arm and my stepmother had my left. Tate handed me my flowers and it was time to open the doors. I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Ok I'm ready. Open the doors." Once the doors were opened, I saw my handsome man standing there waiting for me. I can see his smile and that he was holding back tears. I of course was crying myself. Luckily my makeup was waterproof.

We finally got to where Koa was and father said, "We give our daughter to you. May you protect her and your future child until the end of your days." "Yes sir. I will." They sat down in their seats and we said our vows. "Raven. When I first saw you I was mesmerized. I thought I wanted to know this girl more. I was nervous at first, then my friends urged me on. I went up and talked to you. Then we eventually started dating. I promise to be there for you and our future children. You are my best friend I will love and honor you till he end of my days. In sickeness and in health. In sorrow or in happy times. I love you." Said Koa. "Koa. When I first saw you I thought you were a really interesting man. Every time I saw you I couldn't stop staring until you looked then I looked away. I am so glad you came up to me and we ended up where we are today. I promise to protect you and our future children in sickness and in health in sorrow or happy times all the days of my life. I love you too." I said. "Now I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." I grabbed Koa's collar and kissed him instead of he other way around. I'm sure everyone including him was shocked. "I give you Mr. and Mrs. Koa Dain. Then we headed towards our reception area.

Our Reception was in the ball room. I had my wedding in the church part of he castle. We ate out side of course so we can dance inside.

Finally we got inside and it was time for the bride and grooms first dance. Koa and I got in stance and the music started playing. We danced like it was our first time. I smiled at him and he smiled at me. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. He was so handsome and precious to me. I think he thought the same as we were dancing.

The music finally finished then they started another song for whoever wanted to dance. I had to it down or I was afraid I would fall down. I saw Zoro coming towards me. "Hello Raven." "Oh hey Zoro hey Nikia. Thanks for coming." "I wouldn't miss this for the world," said Zoro. "Hehe thanks." "Oh and congrats on the baby situation as well." "Yeah I'm so happy your going to have a baby Raven. I bet he or she is going to be the cutest little thing ever." "hehe thanks. Did the elder make it?" "Yeah he's here. He said he would come by after we talked to you." "Oh ok. So how has everything been?" "Everything is good. Nikita and Rayden still call each other. They are going strong." "Oh speaking of Rayden Nikita." "There he is." "Oh excuse me Raven. You know how it is. Congrats again." "Hehe thank you. I'm so glad those to are still ok. It was really interesting how they ended up together." "I know right. Haha." "So Zoro. Got a pretty girl back home?" "Actually yes. We have been going out for a year now. Her name is Zalika." "Oh that's a pretty name." "I know right." "so you got some names picked out for the baby?" "Well if it's a girl we are going to name her Keeva. Kira for middle name. If it's a boy Ciel." "Those are some pretty cool names." "Thanks Zoro. Oh looks like Koa is coming back." "Well I better go before lover boy gets jealous." "Hehe. Thanks Zoro. Tell Nikita I said so too." "I will good to see you again." "Yeah."

I took a deep breath and exhaled. I felt my head and it felt a little warm. "Hello my wife. How are you feeling right now?" "Well I feel a little tired, but my head feels a little warm. I can't tell if it's a fever or not." "Want me to get the doctor?" "Yeah just to be save." Tate stood by me like always to guard me. "Tate? I want to thank you for guarding me all this time. I know it must be a pain." "Its my job after all and I agreed. Its fine." "You know you can have breaks too. Especially when Koa and someone whose not a woman is with me." "I guess so. Just be careful ok Raven. You know the state you are in right now." "I know I will be careful." Then I saw the doctor coming over here.

"You think you might have a fever Raven?" said the doc. "Well I felt tired, then I talked with some old friends then when we were done I felt my head and it felt a little warm. I couldn't tell." "Lets see." He checked my temperature and said, "Looks like you have a slight fever. Lets get you to your room and I will give you a shot. Better safe than sorry." "Thanks doctor." Said Koa. Koa helped me to our room and laid me down. The doc gave me a shot for my fever and I went to sleep.
