Sequel to You're My Medicine
***********************************************
After losing their 5-year-old adopted daughter to the hands of an avengeful old friend, Aaron Lycan and his fiancé, Aphmau Phoenix, take a one year break to Falcon Claw. Bo...
"Okay, how about these?" Aphmau smiles, holding a photograph in each hand, each displaying two different types of flowers, one being velvet roses and the other being pearl white Casablanca's.
Aaron raises an eyebrow, that being the answer Aphmau was looking for.
"Yeah, I prefer the Casablanca's as well..." She smiles, placing the Casablanca photo into an envelope and the roses into another, placing both envelopes into a large folder for the wedding.
"So that's about it for the decorations, now it's just the bridesmaid's dresses, the flower girl dress, the tuxes for you and the groomsmen, and then the wedding dress," She says while smiling, placing a kiss on Aaron's cheek, Angel dozing off on his lap.
"Now I'm going to meet the girls at the hospital lobby so we can go dress shopping, can you go pick up my mom? She's getting discharged today...." Aphmau asks, walking over to the closet, snatching up her purse.
"Yes babe, now go have fun..." He waves her off as she leaves the house, then he turns back to a snoring Angel.
"Now how do you think you are going to look in a flower girl dress?" Aaron whispers to Angel, though just asking for the sake of it.
Well.......nothing shy of complete perfection he thought....
**********************************
"C'mon out Aphmau! I want to see this one!" Katelyn exclaims, from outside the dressing room door, Cadenza, Kawaii~chan, and Lucinda all standing excitedly in their matching formal bridemaid's dresses.
"I don't know Katelyn......" Aphmau says, a bit unconfident.
"Please Aphmau? I'm sure you look amazing in it....." Lucinda encourages, the rest of the girls mumbling in agreement.
"Okay fine...here goes..."
Aphmau then exits the room, holding the dress slightly to the sides to display it fully.
Everyone, even the dress tailor, was speechless.

"Aphmau......" Cadenza manages out, her eyes widened and her mouth ajar.
"You guys really think this is the one?" Aphmau smiles, blushing at their expressions.
"Well if you don't wear it, I WILL!" Katelyn jokes, making the girls laugh.

Aaron's POV
I had set Angel down for a nap with her nanny at home before driving to the hospital to pick up Sylvana.
I couldn't help but wonder how amazing Aph must look right now in her wedding dress.....
Probably words that could never describe her beauty.......
Third Person's View
Aaron enters Sylvana's room, finding her sitting on the edge of her hospital bed, a sarong wrapped around her head to cover the bald, her back to him.
"Hey Sylvana, I'm going to bring the car around......" Before he can finish, she cuts him off with so much hostility laced in her voice it sends chills down Aaron's spine.
"That's Mrs. Phoenix to you, you bastard...." Sylvana stands up, her nostrils flaring, her expression full of rage.
"Is something wrong?" He questions, taking a step closer to her.
"Yes, there is something definitely wrong........like what you have done to my daughter you son of a bitch!" Sylvana hisses.
"What?" Aaron knits his eyebrows together in confusion, until only seconds later where Sylvana smacks him right across the face.
Aaron doesn't wince in any way, or show in any way he felt pain, he just turned his head slowly to her, his cheek welting up.
"What? You aren't going to slap back? Hit back? Knee back? LIKE WHAT YOU DID TO APHMAU?!"
Aaron starts to realize what she is referring to.
"Mrs. Phoenix, that's not what it......."
"Looks like? That's not what it looks like?! WHAT DO YOU THINK IT LOOKS LIKE AARON?! I saw you, okay! I saw the security cam footage of you pinning her to the wall by her neck and kneeing her in the stomach until she passed out and lost her child, YOUR CHILD! WHAT ELSE DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO YOU?!" She screams, smacking him again, his cheek growing progressively redder.
"Please listen to me....." Aaron tries, but Sylvana doesn't let him.
"No! I don't want to ever hear your voice, see your face, or hear your name ever again! How my Mija is still acting so happy with you is beyond me! What? Is it because of Angel? CAUSE I DON'T THINK ITS WORTH HAVING THE FATHER AROUND IF HE IS AT RISK OF KILLING BOTH OF THEM!"
"MOM! Stop!" Aphmau rushes into the room, wedging herself between Aaron and Sylvana, observing the severity of the situation.
"Stop defending him Mija! People like him don't deserve to live, and very much don't deserve to marry you!" Sylvana rages, Aphmau holding her back, tears now in her eyes.
"Mom.....please....."
Aphmau's tearful tone of voice calms her down, her furious one now full of worry.
"Mija....what he did to you....."
"It wasn't him......he was framed.......he would never...hurt me......" Aphmau sniffles, gulping.
"He.....was?" Sylvana now wears a look of guilt.
"Yes.......it wasn't him......though it was still hard...for us......we spent years.....getting over it......and for a moment......I was no different from you.....thinking that he did those things......and I will forever feel like a fool........"
Sylvana drops her head slightly, breathing heavily, yet calmly.
Aphmau then turns around to Aaron, meeting his now relieved gaze.
"I will forever......feel like the fool.....that thought he would ever try to hurt me.....cause this whole time........he's been trying to save me......"
Aaron wraps his arms around Aphmau, both taking in deep breaths.
It was silent for a few seconds until Sylvana clears her throat.
"I apologize....for saying those things.....and for hitting you....it was wrong of me to jump to conclusions......I know that now, you would never hurt Aphmau.......and.....I shouldn't have ever thought you would......I'm very sorry...." Sylvana apologizes, her voice soothing.
"Apology accepted.....you were worried for your daughter's wellbeing....all mother's think that....." Aaron looks more directly at Aphmau when he says this, she knowing what he meant by it.
"I couldn't think of anyone better for Aphmau......." Sylvana smiles.
