Allure of Darkness: TVD [2]✓

Chapter Twenty-eight

Gemma sat in the living room of the Walker home with her four bridesmaids and her daughter, as they got their hair and makeup done for the wedding that was happening two hours from now. She was trying to calm her breathing and look at herself in the mirror. Rebekah Mikaelsson her Maid of Honor sat next to her holding her hand trying to help the girl focus.

"Gem, we still have a lot to do. Your hair is done, you need to eat something. Then we'll have the girl get started on your makeup." Gemma nodded and stood up going over to the table that held some sandwiches and snacks. Her daughter Jordyn ran over to her and demanded to be picked up.

"Mommy's hair is pretty just like mine." Gemma smiled at the innocence of the girl, "when are we leaving again?"

"To go to the ceremony? An hour or so.."

"No, when are we leaving?" the house itself was full of boxes as the Salvatore family planned to leave after their honeymoon to go to Italy to live.

"After mommy and daddy get back from their honeymoon. So about a week or so."

"And we are staying with Uncle Damon and Uncle Enzo?"

"Yes, ma'am. They will protect you while mommy and daddy are gone."

"Okay. I'm gonna miss them."

"I will miss them too, but this is for your and Jaxson's safety."

"Because bad people might try and get us."

"Right. But for today, we will not worry about those possibilities and we will enjoy the day."

"Because mommy and daddy are getting married."

"Right you are." 

"Do I get my makeup done too?"

"No, you're already way to pretty to have makeup. You will outshine mommy."

"Never, mommy is the prettiest person in the world." Gemma smiled at her daughter and placed a kiss on her little lips, "when is Jaxson gonna get here with daddy?"

"Daddy and Jaxson are going to meet us there."

"Okay. Can I go play?"

"Of course, don't mess up your hair though."

"I won't. Love you mommy."

"I love you too, sweetie."

After eating Gemma sat back down and let the makeup artist they had hired get started. All the bridesmaids were done and sitting in the room talking about how excited they were, the photographer was going around snapping photos of the girl.

"Alright, we need to leave in thirty minutes to make it there on time. So we better start getting dressed." Rebekah announced to the group, clearly taking charge of the situation. She began to help Jordyn put on her dress and shoes, "so Jordyn, if you could please just not mess up anything it would be amazing."

"Yes, Aunt Bekah. I will sit on the couch and not mess with how pretty I look."

"Good girl." Rebekah kissed her forehead and than began to get dressed. Once she and the other girls were finished, and Gemma's makeup was done she began to help the girl get dressed. They all heard the front door of the house open.

"I heard someone is getting married today." they all heard Alaric voice, Elena exited the living room and asked Alaric to wait, "why?"

"Because the photographer wants to get the perfect picture of your reaction. Gemma sees you as a father figure, she wants to see it as well." 

"Okay, fine. But we gotta leave soon. The groom is getting anxious." Gemma let out a laugh as Rebekah lifted up her dress and slid on her garter.

"There your something blue." she said to the girl. Caroline was next, slipping on the "barefoot" sandals the young girl had chosen to wear instead of shoes.
