"What do you even wear to weddings?" I say aloud as Gemma does my hair. "Anything besides black and white," she replies as she now stood in front of me. "But that's all I own," I groaned and she chuckles in response. "That's why I'm making you get ready here, cause I know you don't have s.hit."
"Tell me about Robin's family," I look up at her as Gemma now started my makeup. "They're nice," she starts "close your eyes." And I do. "They're all very much like Robin. They're warm and welcoming," I feel the eyeshadow brush going across my eyelid. "They're so much fun though," she chuckles "they always make sure everyone is included and having a good time."
Once I felt the brush move off my eye I opened them to look at Gemma. "They sound lovely," I smile and so does Gem. "They are," she picks up more eyeshadow on the brush. "When my mum and Robin first began dating his family welcomed us like we had been there forever." She comes back over and I close my eyes again. "Robin treats us like were his own children, he stepped in and filled a role our father wasn't ready to take on."
Gemma sets down her brush and sits down on her bed, my eyes following over to her. "Harry has mentioned you've been put in a similar situation," she looks over at me "and I'm sorry." I give her a sad smile "I lost my mom but I gained Caroline and three amazing younger siblings. I love them all so much, I can't imagine life without them."
"I know it was hard on Harry losing a father figure," Gemma says "but I can't imagine losing my mum in my life." "She was never really there," I admit "it was always my dad being there for Asher and I. When he met Caroline, he knew she was different than my actual mother. She was kindhearted and gentle, extremely patient." I smile "She has become my mother figure on so many different levels."
Gemma gets up and comes back over to finish my makeup. "I'm really glad Harry found you Thena," she smiles "to find someone who understands is truly a treasure. I hope he realizes that."

"I like that one better than the blue one," Gem nods to the dress I had on of hers. "Black heels?" I question and she nods again "Perfect combination there. Plus you can move around and not have to worry about flashing anybody."
"And I'm brace free so I can really move now," I smile while playing with the ends of my hair. "Really?" Gemma sits up and I nod "Doctor called me on my way over, took it off in the car. It was my early Christmas present," I giggled.
"Leave that on I'll go grab some black heels for you from downstairs." Gem says before leaving her room. I hadn't seen much of Harry, he's been trying out different lenses and saturations outside to find which ones he wants to film with.
"There we are, throw these on." Gemma sets down a little pair of black heels "I'm going to change into my dress."
