*Five Month Time Lapse*

I stood in front of the full body mirror holding Angel in my arms. I watched Emily stick a few more bobby pins in my bun before stepping back to admire her work.

"So? What do you think?" She asked, looking at me in the mirror with her hands on her hips.

I took a minute to take my appearance in. I had on a floor length, black, fitting dress that flared out mid-thigh. Black feathers lined the strapless top and a diamond belt adored my waist. My fire-like hair sat on top of my head in a gorgeous bun with my fringe framing my face. You couldn't really see my shoes except for when I walked but Emily made me match them with my dress anyway. They were black high heels, the bottoms of which where red.

I made it clear to Emily that I would be doing my usual eye makeup. She wanted me to have a more elegant look but respected my decision anyway. I had on dark burgundy lipstick and I wore regular black plugs in my ears and a long cross necklace that Andy had given me for Valentine's Day along with my Black Veil Brides necklace that I still hadn't taken off.

My diamond bracelet felt foreign on my wrist. The only things I usually wore there were rubber wristbands.

Finally, my eyes landed on my engagement ring. It was a beautiful silver with a large diamond embedded into it. Smaller diamond chips littered the rest of the silver band. It truly was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I looked down at Angel who was sleeping in my arms. Well, almost the most amazing thing.

"Dan? Hellooooo?" I jumped slightly at Emily waving her hand in my face.

I shook my head. "Sorry, I was just thinking."

She gave me a suspicious look but seemed to brush it off. "What do you think of your hair?" She asked again.

"I think it's amazing, Em. You really do have a knack for hair." I smiled warmly at my best friend.

"Well I'm glad. I don't have the time nor the patience to come up with a whole other style." She reached for a mid back length black veil and a diamond encrusted tiara that were sitting on the table next to the mirror. She silently clipped the veil into my hair and then placed the tiara on my head.

"You look gorgeous, Danni. Andy is going to have a heart attack as soon as he lays his eyes on you."

I blushed heavily at that.

A minute later we heard a knock on the door. A muffled "Can we come in?" came from the other side.

I suppressed a laugh so that I wouldn't wake Angel up and said in a low voice, "Yeah, but quietly."

The door slowly opened and Ashley, Jake, Jinxx, and CC stepped into the room. Jinxx let out a low whistle when he saw me. "Damn, Danni. You look beautiful," he said.

I could feel myself turning tomato red at that. "Yeah, Andy's a lucky dude," Jake added.

CC went over to Emily and put his arm around her shoulder. "You did a fucking amazing job on her hair, babe," CC told Emily. Yes, they were now dating. I couldn't say I was surprised when I found out. We all knew it was coming.

I turned to the one person who hadn't said anything yet. "Ashley?"

He was standing by the door still, leaning on the frame with his arms crossed. "I thought you were beautiful before. This blows the word 'beautiful' out of the water. You're fucking gorgeous."
