He stood at the alter looking as sharp as ever. When my soon to be husband turned around and graced me with his loving smile, I couldn't help but blush. My mother stood in the front row smiling at me with tears in her eyes. Her dress was blue and faded to purple at the ends of the skirt the and the straps of the dress. There was a cluster of purple and blue flowers pinned on the left side right above her breast. My step-father, Hades, wore a black tux with a blue and purple tie along with a blue flower bud pinned to the jacket of his tux.

"You are beautiful, it's obvious my dear, that Azrael thinks so as well." Hades whispered to me as he led me down the isle toward Azrael. My wedding dress was long and strapless. It was a white ball gown with a trail of glitter going from the top of the dress to the bottom. I wore a small tiara with a veil connected to it, one side went down from top of my head to my waist and the front went from the same spot to just above the bulge of my pregnant stomach.

"I feel beautiful, and thank you, fore everything." I answered looking to him then back at everyone around the large chapel.

"Dear, as your new father, I do this out of the love I have already grown for you. And you now have brother's and sisters, and cousins and so on" he gestured to the women that stood as brides-maids on the left side, one of my dearest friends that had died long ago stood as my maid of honor, then he gestured to the males and other females that smiled warmly at me and Hades.

"Your right, and I also thank you for taking care of my mother, god knows she needed someone to care for her." I was tearing up as I remembered what my mother had gone through. We got a few feet away from the alter and Hades let out a low chuckle.

"There will be no more suffering for you and your mother, the past in where it should be, today you are creating your own family." Hades encouraged.

We stopped three feet away from the alter, "Who gives this woman away?" The Priest who was more like a Gothic church man asked in a voice that wasn't as powerful as hades, but had demanded attention. My mother looked over at my then Hades and smiled.

"We do." They said together. Hades smiled, lifted my veil halfway and kiss my tear stained cheek before letting it fall back into place and taking his seat next to my mother. I walked up to the alter and stood next to Azrael and in front of the priest. The two children that cupid created set the train of my dress down. The little girls threw some flowers around us before taking their seats.

The dark priest began to say the vows as Azrael and I stared at each other and before I knew it we were saying I do......

I stood at the door, hands folded underneath my large and heavy belly, with an expectant look on my face. My step sister and mother sat in my office. Tamara crying in the arms of her mother, looked up at me and gasped.

"Your suppose to be dead!" She accused standing up from my desk chair and glaring at me then looked down jealously at my pregnant stomach.

"Did you see a body when my car crashed, no exactly." I said answering before she could.

"You are not wanted here!" Malinda shouted at me. I laughed.

"Neither are you, get out of my office." I seethed before turning and leading Azrael to my Father's office.

"Thomas." I called opening the door and walking into his office. All of the employees stood up shocked.

"What the-" Thomas was cut off by the shock of his daughters appearance.
