Opened Hearts 2: Levody

Chapter 30: The Sweetest Thing

Three years later...

"Aaaaand, there. Absolutely Perfect. What do you think, Darling?"

Melody looked in the mirror and gasped in awe. "Oh my Irene, Aunt Cadenza, you're a miracle worker! Thank you so so much!" She hugged her tightly.

Cadenza hugged her back. "What's the point of a bride if she doesn't make the groom go blind from gorgeousness?"

Melody giggled, her vibrant green eyes sparkling. She felt like a Princess, about to be come a Queen. Her hair was curled , and then brushed out to make it wavy. Cadenza had just finished applying just the right amount of make up to bring out her inner beauty. She really was a really awesome makeup artist and dress designer.

"Alright girly, let's get you dressed!" She pushed Melody off to the dressing room.

It was a good half an hour later before the dress was fully on. It had a lace corset, and it was lined with white roses. It had long laced sleeves, and reached the base of her neck. The skirt of the dress hit the floor, even when she was wearing her shoes. She basically pleaded against wearing pumps. She ended up in heeled ankle boots, which was fine. They weren't too uncomfortable or hard to walk in. 

"It's almost time, is she readyyyyy oh my Irene!" Aphmau gasped. "My little girl is all grown up!"

"Mom!" Melody laughed and wiped away her tears. "You're gonna make me cry!"

"And then ruin the hours I spent on her makeup!" Cadenza groaned.

Aphmau laughed. "Okay, I won't cry! Promise!"

"Good." Melody smiled. Aphmau pulled her into a hug and she returned it. "Love you, Mom."

"I love you too, hon." She smiled softly. "Your Dad is waiting by the doors. Just wait until he sees you." She said fondly.

Melody giggled. "Thanks Mom. You should go take your place, I'll be there in a minute." 

"Sounds good." She kissed her forehead before once again taking her leave.

Cadenza finished the last touches before Melody went out to meet Zane. He saw her and his gaze soften and he smiled. He himself was in a black suit with a gray shirt and blue tie. He had no face guard on, and his hair was combed out of his face. He looked a lot younger, and a lot less rebellious. Yes, his blind eye was lighter, but that was okay. He really didn't care anymore. He held his arm out to Melody.

"Are you ready?"

She nodded and smiled, taking his arm. "I'm Ready, Daddy." She said softly.

The music started, and the bridesmaids, Alexis, Katelyn, and Ally, and best men, Kyle, Garroth, and Vylad, walked in together first, then the ring bearer, Asher, and the Flower girl, Abbey. Abbey was a bit older, a teen now, but she was the youngest girl and she volunteered. Finally, Zane walked Melody down the isle, a bright smile on her face as she saw Levin standing at the altar. He was wearing a traditional wedding suit. He smiled at her, a blush on his cheeks. As they reached the altar, the music died down.

"Levin, today, I'm giving to you Melody, as her adoptive father, in stead of her biological father, who is no longer with us. I am entrusting her health, happiness and safety in you. She is our pride and joy, and seeing how you treat her makes me overjoyed you're who she's marrying. You have my blessing, and I'm sure Jackson's too." Zane smiled at Melody softly, who was trying not to cry already.

She hugged Zane before joining hands with Levin. "Thank you, Mr. Ro'Meave. I promise I won't let you down." He vowed.

The Ceremony proceeded, each Melody and Levin saying their rehearsed vows to each other, before the rings were presented. Levin slipped the gold band onto Melody's hand at the same time she did for him. The priest proclaimed them wed and before he could allow Levin to kiss her, Levin brought her close and they shared a loving kiss. The crowd cheered and stood. Melody pulled away with a laugh, her cheeks red, and arms still around his neck. He slipped his hand under her knees, the other on her back, and picked her up bridal style. That was the best night of their lives.

Four years later...

"Micheal! Lunch is ready!" Melody called.

"Yay!"

Micheal was the cutest 3 year old Melody could've imagined. He had her brown hair and Levin's bright blue eyes. He was pretty short for his age too. He came running into the kitchen with his favorite model airplane, his little feet hitting the tile floor. 

She chuckled. "Slow down there, Pilot." She handed him a ham and cheese sandwich with carrots on a plate. "Go sit down and eat okay?"

"Thanks Mommy!" He beamed and sat down at their dining table.

"Of course Baby." She smiled softly.

The front door opened and closed, signalling that Levin just arrived home. Melody pretended to be busy cleaning the dishes, and soon enough he came into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around her from behind, placing a kiss on her cheek.

"How's my favorite wife doing?" He smiled.

"I'm your only wife, darling." She chuckled.

"That's true." He smiled. 

"I've got a surprise for you." She took his hand and led him outside to their garden. Nicodemus was watching over a female cat, who had a couple of newborn kittens. Levin smiled.

"That little devil's a dad now huh?"

She giggled and nodded. "They're absolutely adorable."

"They are."

"Our children will love them."

"Mel, we only have one-" 

"Nuh uh." She giggled. His smile widened.

"You're-?!"

She nodded and he pulled her in for a kiss. She smiled through it before they broke away.

"I'm gonna be a Dad!"

"You're already a Dad!"

"Oh, right."
