Two days before the wedding... hearing some news through his riding around annesburg: Arthur told Dutch and Tifa, her brothers would have to be reburied because the old ruined village she was from was going to be demolished and cleared for land, so immediately they took the coffins of Derek and Kieran and were successful in getting them back to the new house, they decided to bury them near Faith and Dutch was relieved that Tifa didn't have to travel a long ways again to see her brothers, now she, John and Nora could see them anytime they wanted.

Tifa placed stones around their graves similar to how Dutch did with Faith and Tifa placed Derek's slingshot against his make shift cross and Nora put flowers against the graves. With Cain keeping them company sitting at their heels and Dutch watching over them from a few feet

—*
The fateful day had finally arrived, Tifa and Dutch were getting married, not in a church in front of random people to be recognized, it was a private wedding.

Reverend Swanson had come back to do the reciting of their vows, and Nora, Arthur, John, Abigail, Jack, Mary Beth, old uncle and Charles were all there to witness this joyous occasion, many of them thought it would never happen!

Tifa finished putting her earrings on when a soft knock sounded off on the door, both sisters looked at it and became even more nervous

"Y-yes? Come in" her voice shuddered softly, hoping that it wasn't Dutch and Nora saw the most unlikely person enter, Nora looked surprised to see Abigail walk in and Tifa stopped what she was doing and looked her way

"Hi, aunt Abigail" Nora greeted with a smile and in a soft voice since she was holding her nephew Damien, Tifa gave her a greeting smile

"Hey" she greeted

"Hey, you two. Is um everything going alright in here?"

Tifa watched her fiddle with her wedding dress a bit to make it more poofy, before taking a step up back, it did look better from that, Tifa nodded

"Thanks, yeah everything's fine...I'm...just about done here actually"

Abigail cracked a smile "you seem jittery" she noted, Tifa blushed a little

"I am a bit" Tifa admitted, even if she known Dutch for so long, she still felt like she was so scared for him to see her in this getup, she thought she would never wear

"It will be fine, you look real pretty" Abigail complimented and Tifa looked shy as she nodded to her, Abigail once again stepped closer and gave her a hug, surprising Tifa to no end, but she hugged back

"Are you alright, Abigail?" Tifa asked softly as she continued to hug her

"Sure. I just...I need to tell you something...It's not because of this occasion it's just I realized that it's about time I apologize for my behavior and the attitude I've been giving you these past long years and started treating you fair" Abigail said she backed away and as her hands went to together, Tifa felt something under her eye and gently brushed it, she felt a tear had sneaked out

"Can we start over?" Abigail asked letting her hand out and Tifa met her hand

"Of course...sis" Tifa said with a small smile, "for as long as no trouble arises" she mumbled softly Abigail's expression turned weary for a moment then smiled back and her other hand touched their hands

"Of course not, now, come on, you're husband to be is waiting' out there" Abigail said excited like and as Tifa nodded to her quietly, she didn't know weather to feel relieved or terrified at this and as Abigail walked out of the room. John was quietly standing near the corner a few feet away so she wouldn't notice him, having heard most of the conversation. Tifa never thought this conversation would happen. Like ever. But she had been proven wrong before, and she was somewhat happy for it, feeling a slight weight lift off her shoulders one that has been there for years. Although there was another thing nagging her, she wasn't going to ruin this truce, however long it would last.
