xi. A Perfectly Good Wedding

Between Cameron and Tiana setting up the tables and the chairs, while Jordan and Jon set up the altar and the other decorations that were required, while they all got the barn set up in no time at all and Tiana grinned at their hard work.

Tiana was getting ready in Jordan's room after Mrs. Beppo was done getting ready as she was looking at herself in the mirror and she sighed, before she was fidgeting with her watch as her nerves got the best of her.

Someone knocked on the door and Tiana turned around to look at the door. "Who is it?" She asked and Jon opened the door carefully as he stuck his head into the room and she was looking at him. "Uh, hey." She said awkwardly and Jon smiled.

"Do you need help with the zipper?" Jon asked and Tiana nodded slightly, before he walked into the room and she turned back around, before she was moving her hair out of the way. Jon zipped it up and he was looking at her. "What's wrong?" Jon asked quietly.

"I don't know." Tiana murmured quietly as she was looking at herself in the mirror that they had set up in Jordan's room and then Jon was silently taking her hand in his. "Are you planning on running off?" She asked as he was looking at her, before he was silently shaking his head.

"Of course not." Jon murmured as he was looking at her. "Come on, T. You can talk to me, all right? I'm not going to judge you for it, I just don't want you to bottle it all up until it explodes." Jon murmured and Tiana was closing her eyes before she felt his arms moving around her and she was leaning forward until her head was resting against his chest. "You look beautiful, you know."

"I don't feel like it." Tiana mumbled very quietly and Jon was looking down at her. "I mean... I feel like a newborn trying to learn to walk, masquerading around and pretending... Like I know what I'm doing with this."

"Wh-what can I do to convince you?" Jon said as Tiana was shaking her head at the words. "All right, come with me." Jon murmured, tugging her gently by the hand and Tiana was swiftly raising her eyebrows at him, before she walked after him.

Jon was looking around briefly, before the two of them were flying up onto the roof as Tiana was looking around at the sight of them being extremely high up in the air.

"I honestly don't know what I can do to convince you, that I'm not going to flip out on you again. You told me that you were going to stand by me and... And you have already done that. Many times over, T." Jon said and she was looking at him. "So, now... It is my turn to do it for you." Jon murmured and she was closing her eyes.

"I terminated it." Tiana mumbled very quietly and it was hardly audible and Jon looked down at her. "I couldn't do it again before I was in college. I am a kid who is raising a kid and I am, so sorry." Jon was moving his arms around her and then she began to cry, just before she was silently resting her head on his chest. "Jon, I am so sorry." She whimpered and then quietly, Jon was shaking his head at the words.

"It was your choice, Tiana." Jon rested his chin on top of her head and he rubbed her back in circles and she closed her eyes. "I pushed you into it. I was angry at you and I was seriously pissed that you didn't tell me about Cameron. But I never wanted to separate you from Liliana, I was just too upset with myself for going that far. By the time I wanted to take it back, you just didn't want to talk to me. Which is, fair enough."

"Can you promise me something?" Tiana asked quietly and Jon nodded.

"Yeah, of course. Anything." Jon said and then she nodded.

"The next time that we get that angry with one another... Could we just try to talk it out like adults?" Tiana asked and Jon let out a partial laugh, before he nodded.
