"We have all the colors and everything ready to set up. All that is left is for Claire to pick out her wedding dress. In that room over there, we have several dresses for you to pick from and once you have it, we will send it over to the venue for you. When you're ready, you can go look and pick out one of them."

"Thank you sir." I watched him walk away and looked over at Noah. "I will be right back I guess. Just wait here." I got up from the table and walked into a gorgeous room filled with beautiful white dresses. As I walk through them all, one catches my eye. It is stunning and very fairy tale-like. It has lace sleeves and ruffles all the way down. It is so puffy and just overall magnificent. I let one of the officials know and he grabbed it off of the rack and took it into another room. I walked out to Noah and he got up from his chair.

"Are you ready to go home?"

"Yes I am. Nicky honey, let's go home." Nicky came running over to me and grabbed my hand. We walked home and the whole walk home, I felt nothing but happiness. This is my family and once we are married, I can tell Noah everything. I have so many secrets and only I know of them. I hope Noah understands when I tell him everything. I know a lot of things too and while usually I'd be mad about half the stuff I know, my life wouldn't be the same without them. We walked through the doors and Nicky ran into his room. 

"Okay so the wedding is coming up and after that, we have the rest of our lives to live together. Our jobs will remain the same but Nicky will be your son now. So my responsibilities are the same as yours. I'm sure you know that though."

"I know. I am also ready to be a part of yours and Nicky's life forever."

I smile at him. Things seem to be moving fast and I'm not necessarily against it. I really like Noah and I know I can learn to love him. My baby seems to love him already. I just hope after he knows all my secrets, that he will still love me. Although divorce isn't a concept the Contrality approves of, some relationships still go through an internal divorce. Meaning that they are still married, but they don't really love each other anymore. I hope that's not how this works. I guess we'll see when the wedding comes.
