The Waters Secret

A Welpion Wedding - Part 2

Rosila stood in her wedding dress at the edge of the garden, trying not to panic. It was supposed to be a small event with just a few friends and family, though all Welpion had wanted to attend. She cast her eyes out over the garden frowning at the dark city that had closed their markets for their celebration.

The last few days had been a blur, but she had loved every minute of it. Raven and Whylomie had dedicated their time to helping her prepare for this event giving her someone other than Suzy or her father to confide in. Giggling made her turn around as Raven and Whylomie approached in matching dresses and hair styles. The long green dresses looked great on them, making Rosila sigh nervously.

"You going to be, okay? Do you need some water or something?" Whylomie asked as Raven ogled her dress.

"You look gorgeous! Suzy is going to freak." Raven gushed as Rosila blushed. The last few days had done wonders for their relationship too, though Raven still preferred Whylomie's company to Rosila's, she understood.

"Thank you. I don't know why I am so nervous." Rosila confided as Raven took her hands in hers.

"Do you love him?" Raven asked as Rosila frowned nodding.

"More than anything." Rosila said as Raven smiled.

"I have been watching him over the last few days and I can tell you, he looks at you the way Hank looks at Clair. If that isn't true love, then I don't know what is. Suzy is perfect for you, and everyone can tell you make him so very happy." Raven told her as Rosila blushed, tears lining her lashes. Raven nodded as she hugged her sister, laughing when Whylomie hugged them both.

"Thank you. I guess I have just been so nervous about this child that it has been clouding my judgement." Rosila confessed as Whylomie hugged her close.

"You are a beautiful, confident woman who is about to marry a man that adores you. This child will complete this family unit. Not take away from it." Whylomie nodded confidently as Rosila giggled.

"Besides, if Hank can love me knowing how much of a brat I can be, I have no doubt Suzy can love your child even more. Because they will be a part of you." Raven told her as Rosila nodded taking a deep breath to calm herself.

Raven had been surprised by the idea of Rosila being pregnant, but after finding out the truth, she had been trying to be supportive about the whole thing. Adam would pay in time. She would see to that. 

Suzy had won points in her book, trying to keep Rosila safe and happy and accepting this child as his own. Raven paused when a familiar face appeared.

"Hello miss Raven. Been a while. Did you like the gift your father got you?" Elaine asked as Raven blushed nodding.

"The dress was beautiful. I loved it. Did you design Rosila's wedding dress too?" Raven asked as the old woman chuckled nodding. Her long grey braids swinging in time with her walk.

"I am the oldest Druid in Welpion at the moment looking after Rosila and the other pretty face. But how could I not look after my precious grandchild? She is so much smarter than her father ever was." Elaine gushed making Raven giggle as Rosila blushed. "You two better go take your seats, I will take it from here." Elaine told them. They paused once to hug Rosila before giggling and wandering away.

"Goodness, mother. You never know when you have said too much." Finn grumbled from the shadows as Elaine rolled her eyes.

"Rosila has got the right idea. Raven is a charming girl and one day I will dote on both of my granddaughters. But enough about that. Are you ready to walk your girl down the aisle and give her away?" Elaine asked as Finn sighed.
