A Baccano Love Story

The Wedding Night

Luck opened the door then scooped Charlie up to carry her over the threshold of his home, which was now their home.

Keith and Berga carried in armfuls of presents, followed by Kate and Kalia. Charlie helped them figure out where to put it all while Luck went back out into the hall to get the boxes he and Charlie had carried up.

They continued to make trips from the car to the apartment until all of the presents were safely up there. Once they all had a chance to recover from the many trips, Luck looked at his brothers, smiled, and said:

"Thanks, now get lost."

"That eager, huh? Well, I guess I'd be tired of waiting, too," Berga said.

"......"

"Goodnight," Kate said.

"Good luck," Kalia said, winking at Charlie.

"Goodnight. Thanks for everything," Charlie said, waving goodby as Luck saw them to the door.

"Goodbye."

Luck closed the door and turned back to Charlie.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

Luck scooped her up into his arms again and carried her into the bedroom. He set her down so she was standing next to the bed and began carefully helping her out of her wedding dress.

As Charlie pulled the dress up over her head, the surprise she had waiting for him underneath was revealed. Luck saw the sexy, shiny, silk slip she had on and removed it to find a silky bra with lace and embroidery and a matching girdle. Beneath the girdle was a pair of matching silky, lacy, embroidered tap pants. Every piece was snow white. She had achieved her goal. Luck was surprised. He could tell it was all brand new.

Luck smiled handsomely.

"I didn't see the bill for this."

Charlie smiled a little shyly.

"I wanted to surprise you."

"You have."

Luck kissed Charlie and sat back on the bed, pulling her with him so she was sitting in his lap. Still kissing luck, Charlie began to unbutton his shirt.

Although it was business as usual at Alveare, the talk kept going back to the wedding and the new married couple.

"That was a great wedding."

"Hey, right about now, do you think Luck and Charlie are...?"

"I wouldn't want to wait any more if I was him."

"You got that right."

"He sure has been patient."

"The wait would've killed me."

"Well, Charlie ain't that kind of girl."

"Yeah, she's surprisingly virtuous, considering her background."

"Well, only in her early years. Her adopted family was respectable enough."

"From what I've heard of them from Charlie, it's hard to imagine that they could've produced Dino."

"Every family has its black sheep."

"Speaking of families, do you think they'll be able to start one?"

"What do you mean?"

"Can immortals still have kids? And if they can, will they be immortal, too, or what?"
