How Dare You?

50

The wedding day is here!

I stand in front of the mirror, my plain white fur dress looks beautiful on me. The crown on my head shines with nothing less than real diamonds, the same goes for the necklace around my neck and the pearl earrings in my ears. My veil is long, intricately designed and shimmery in beauty, the curls of my hair are pinned in an updo and instead of wearing 6 inch heels I opted for 3 inch ones.

My bouquet of white tulips waits for me patiently in the hands of my daughter. Who sits on my bed in a dress similar to mine, her golden locks left in perfect curls down her back.

"You look really pretty." I hear her soft voice say and I go over to her. Taking her small hands in mine I look into her chocolate brown eyes.

"Do you really want me and Hades to be your new mommy and daddy?" I ask her.

"I was scared, I fought Hades at first, thinking that he was going to hurt me but he got me and th rest of the kid's at the orphanage food. He's a nice man, mommy said to always trust nice people because they are what keeps the word spinning, I didn't understand but now I think I do. You and Hades are nice people, there are bad people out there, like my mommy's friend who left us at the orphanage and without good people like you to keep goodness in the world there would only be bad people. That would've been awful, so yes I want to stay here with you guys, Kingsley is here with me and I'm happy that you adopted him too. My mommy would be happy if she saw us right now, I haven't had a mommy in a while and i would really like it if I can call you mommy." She says and i nod.

"I love you so much my little lavender bush." I say and she chuckles.

"I love you too... mommy." My heart is a minute away from exploding due to cuteness.

Minutes layer we leave the room, walking down the decorated staircase, the flowers had to be imported from Italy but Hades would have nothing less for his bride. The flowers and candles led to the backyard where Hades stands in a white suit. His hair styled back, not a trace of beard on his face and a smile in his eyes as he sees me. With my daughter and grandmother walking me down the aisle I feel unbelievably happy.

A few vows are exchanged and i just can't wait for the ceremony to be over. It is now time to recite our vows and i smile when I ask to go first.

"My pretty boy, filled with secrets and lies, but the truth is all that's found in your eyes. You were blue, I was red, as so dark secrets were shed. You touched me and I became a lilac sky, burning from within, stripped from all sin. You've seen every part of my flesh, left mesmerized by my skin. As you face the lines of the pain, the scars left formed from within. Every tear wiped away and no feeling leading me astray. You heal me in desires come what may. I love you, I do, for with you is where I found no more blue." I say and I wipe the tears that litter the cheeks of my almost husband.
"Your turn." I whisper with a chuckle.

"Even if the moon refused to shine and the sun forgot to rise,
Even if the world ceased to spin and the stars fell from the skies,
Even if the seas refused to calm and the winds forgot to blow,
Even if the ground beneath me shakes and the rivers ceased to flow,
Even if the rain never fell and the flowers were not to bloom,
Even if the birds never sand and the trees were forever doomed,
Even if the oceans dried up and the mountains crumbled to dust,
For you are the one I truly love,
You are the difference between love and lust." He says and i struggle to hold back my tears.

"... You may kiss the bride!" That was all we needed to hear. He pulls me hard against his chest, my arms coil around his neck, we stare into each other's eyes for a split second before his lips capture mine.

Slow, sensual, passionate, promising, possessing, loving, these are all things that were conveyed through our kiss. The passion that we have for one another, the promise to keep and uphold the vows that we made to each other, him possessing me, mind, body and soul as much as I do him, and finally loving. Loving each other in way I never would've thought possible, loving each other through our troubled backgrounds, confusing presents and mysterious futures.

The kiss eventually ends, like all good things, and the fun begins, we party all day long. With our new family by our side and the promises ringing in our ears. When nighttime falls and the festivities are forgotten Hades excuses himself and i go up to our floor, the only other room on this floor has been changed into the kid's bedroom for the time being. Kingsley is fast asleep in his cradle, a rocking chair sits between the cradle and the bed belonging to Eloise.

She tosses and turns in her bed, a crease in her tiny brow has her eyes opening.

"Mommy?" She questions and my heart flutters every time I hear that word.

"Yes my little lavender bush?" I question as I sit in the chair. She climbs into my lap and

"Why do you call me that?" She asks.

"You don't like it?" I question.

"I just wanna know why." She replies.

"Lavender is soothing, soft and gentle, loved by everyone. Unlike other plants lavender is never wasted or left for dead, someone always finds and cares for it. You are soft, gentle and soothing, you're my personal lavender bush." I say and she nods with a chuckle.

"Then daddy is a teddy bear, he's big and strong and scary like a real bear but he's soft and gentle like a teddy bear." She says.

"And what am I?" I request and she thinks for a minute.

"You're a queen, looking after her people, everyone loves her and wants to be just like her, she is scary too, even the bears are afraid of her but she loves everyone. She has an eagle perched on her shoulder, watching over us, the eagle is my other mommy. You two watch ove a together, fighting against anything that could harm us. You protect us and love us." She tells me.

"Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly,

lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly,
you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly,
who told you so?

'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly,
that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly, dilly,
set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly,
some to the fork,

Some to make hay, dilly, dilly,
some to cut corn,
While you and I, dilly, dilly,
keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly,
Lavender's blue,

If you love me, dilly, dilly,
I will love you
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly,
And the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly,
out of harm's way

I love to dance, dilly, dilly,
I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly,
You'll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly,
Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly,

I told me so." I sing as I rock us both back and forth. I glance down at her and find her sound asleep. Still works!

"Hey queen who watches ove us." My husband whispers as he enters the room.

"Hey teddy bear, who's scared of the queen." I tease as he takes her from me and lays her down on the bed. I stand up and we walk out of the bedroom and into our own.

"I'm scared shitless of you my love, even the kid's can see it." He says.

"I don't understand why." I say.

"You are in the air that I breathe, without it I die.
You are my heart personified, without you I die.
You are my sanity, without you I die.
You are my entire life Evangeline, I cannot live without you." He says and i smile as he starts taking off my dress.

The night is spent in love making bliss. With our souls tangled up in each other as our body's pleasure one another. Our minds clear of any and all though apart from each other and our hearts beat for one another.

In this very moment I know that whatever struggles we may come across in the future will be nothing that we can't overcome together.

Till then...this is where our story ends.
