"You ready?" I sigh and I look my clothes thank god I had something that wasnt my tremors suit, "I think so honestly im just really glad your here dad."
"Of course I just wish Becca was."
"If mom was here this would be a much bigger thing and I would be in a dress not in one of her spice girls shirts."
"Well its prefect like you kid I couldn't have a asked for a better kid."
"Butcher stop making her cry," Annie says walking in, "alright this last minute wedding the office not my first choice."
"Oh please this wasnt Hughies either he wanted it at the bar we first meet At on 21st birthday."
"Well you look-like yourself."
"Annie im not wearing a dress," I tell her, "right we are ready. I will see you out in the office."
"You ready?" I nod and dad grabs my arm and we walk into the office, hughie smiles at me and I smile back, "take care of her," dad tells hughie, "today we are gathered to marry Athena Josie Becca Butcher and Hugh Campbell Jr."
"Wait."
"Dad what the fuck," I say annoyed, he gets up and hands Frenchie a pair of rings, "dad we have," he smiles and nods, "oh dad."
"Butcher?"
"Those rings were mine and Becca's," my bottom lip trembles and I hug dad. "Shell always be with you my little Warrior," he says hugging me back. "Athena?"
"Yeah im good," I stand across from hughie again, slipping on the rings dad gave us and they fit perfectly.
"Did you guys prepare your own vows?" M.m ask and I nod, "alright Athena take it away."
I look at Hughie and smile grabbing his hands in mine, "Hughie when we meant the first time I didn't know how important you were gonna be to my life. Then when dad and I ran into your electronic store I didn't know what happiness was. It was almost as I forget how to be happy, but you have a made me happy again the light I thought was lost was back in my life and I never wanna let it go. I love you till the day that I die and I will love you even in the afterlife," I finish saying and I could Hughie was holding back tears. "Alright Petite."
"Right yes I'm good," I chuckle at him as Hughie takes a deep breath, "right Athena your my second wind, though most of you know that, I say it a lot. I know Robin would want me to be happy and god you make so fucking happy, even with all your idiotic ideas, and stupid plans-"
"I make great plans," I cut him off, "sorry."
"It's fine baby, right Athena your my hacker and I know everyday with you is gonna be different because everyday since that crash has been different, even when you got kidnap it felt like I died, I will love you until the day of my last breath and I will love you in afterlife." I bite my bottom lip now trying not to cry as I feel Hughies hand on my cheek brushing away a tear, "I've got you babygirl."
"Does anyone have a reason these two shouldn't be married?" M.M ask the group, hughie and I look around and my eyes lock with Annie's as she stands up, she smiles at us and walks away.
"Alrighty then I know pronounce you husband and wife," hughie pulls me for a kiss and I kiss back melting into it I love him so much and we were gonna spend the rest of our lives together. As we kissed it seemed nothing Else mattered in the world everything was quiet We pull apart, "alright we did this can we get Back to work Boys."
"You ok?"
"Yeah I'll be right back just put this place back so we get back to work," I kiss his cheek and go off to Annie. "On it boss lady."

I find Annie, "hey."
"Hey."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah im sorry I left i just," she stop and I could tell something was off something had been off with Annie for hours. "You wanna talk about it?"
"Talk about what im fine." She goes to leave but I grab her hand, "your not fine im your best friend just tell me."
"I cant tell you."
"Why not!"
"Because I can't lose you."
"Annie you wont lose me."
"I already have," she says softly.
"What?"
"I love you Athena I always have and I Always thats why I left because I couldn't watch you marry Hughie. Because I love you. Ive loved since the day in the wharehouse, and I know that you love hughie and your heart belongs to him and he loves you and im so happy you have eachother but I couldn't go another day without tell you. When I stood up I wanted to scream I love you right then and there but everyone was staring at me and I couldn't I crush you or your heart i just want you to be happy and if your happy with Hughie then im ok with it," she tells me and I let go of her hand. "Are we still?"
"Friends always," she hugs me, "your my best friend Annie January nothing is ever gonna change that. I love you too but its more of I love you like your my sister. Im sorry I don't feel the same way Annie."
"Its ok I get it you love that dork in there getting drunk with your dad."
"Oh god dammit, what are they play?"
"Its look like beer pong."
"Where did they even find it?" Annie laughs and we go inside to play games and get drunk with my family.

"alright people, Im a little drunk and high, thank you kid." Dad says looking at me, "you're welcome," I tell him and he smiles, "Athena you are my kid, my light, the woman who can turn me to dust, but you are more then that. You've never left my side and have always been there to pull me off the ledge. I just wanna give my support as I say Athena Josie Becca Butcher-Campbell bloody hell kid you have long ass name." "you picked it and added another middle name when mom left." "yeah I was high a lot when you were a kid." "ok please before the asshole comes back," I tell him annoyed and he nods. "right I just wanna say if the other boys good with it, I want you and M.M to take over I'm stepping back." I look at dad, "what?" I ask him and M.M walks over to me, "butcher?" "don't worry ill still be around but everything that happened just made me realize I'm not gonna keep us together were not gonna get we need done if I'm in charge. All in favor of Athena and M.M" Everyone raises their hands, and M.M and I look at each other, then at everyone else. "you ready?" he ask me, "you dont have to do this I can handle it without you." "yeah we got this." "we got this," Marvin tells me.

Hughie and I ended up on the couch at are apartment with a bag of Cheetos and a bag of weed dad gave us, I pull my shirt off so I was in a tank top and jeans with my necklace I never took off, "im so drunk."
"I know babe why the fuck did you play drinking games with my dad."
"I don't know," I get him some water, then I sit down next to hughie, "drink this."
"Oh shit I need to tell my dad."
"You will when your sober."
"Thanks why did your dad give us a bag weed?"
"That babe is a long story," I say hitting a joint I rolled and eating Cheetos. "This turned to be a prett-fuck n-nice night."
"Yeah it did babe. You want?"
"Maybe tomorrow wanna just sit here watch a movie eat Cheetos as I pass out."
"Sounds like a prefect way to end a prefect day. Hughie Campbell."
"I love you Athena Campbell." I chuckle leaning against my husband as he turns on a movie and we cuddles. I notice Hughie get up, "I'll be right back."
"Yeah that's still not funny!" He sticks his tongue out at me before leaving my view.
