Charmed Ever After? The Story Of A Charmed One And A Half-Demon

Chapter 38

I blinked and looked at myself in the mirror as I heard the sound of voices downstairs, and I remembered what I was actually doing. The butterflies in my stomach erupted for the fifth time in the last half an hour. I felt so nervous that I was worried I would throw up, but at the same time I felt the kind of excitement that I'd never felt before. I was even more excited than the time that I had my very first date with Chris, or even when he proposed to me. I took a deep breath and glanced down at my hands to see that they were shaking.

"How are you feeling sweetie?" Phoebe said and I looked up as she rushed into Piper's room followed by Piper and Paige. I smiled and breathed out, trying to take deep breaths to calm myself down. Let me say that it wasn't working.

"Okay, I think. I'm so nervous, and excited and in love all at the same time. If that makes sense?" I replied and all three sisters smiled at me before I turned around so that I was actually looking at them, and not their reflections in the mirror.

"Yes Lila it makes sense. Believe me when I say that I tried unsuccessfully to marry Leo twice before we finally managed to tie the knot and every time I felt the butterflies in my stomach" Piper said smiling at me and I nodded at her, before she came over to me.

The last week had flew by, and Chris and I had immersed ourselves in wedding plans and family dinners. Piper and the rest of the Halliwells were brilliant, helping us out with the guest list, the food and even helping me choose the perfect dress and bouquet. Piper had also wanted us to keep the wedding planners, which was a good thing because when my powers finally showed themselves- four days after the battle- we had to fight off demon after demon. It was tiring but I didn't mind. It was what I liked doing, and even better, I was doing it with my family.

Then I woke up this morning feeling how cold the bed was since Chris wasn't there- he'd had his stag party last night- and I got out of bed and started jumping up and down on it because I had been so excited. My jumping on the bed didn't go down well with the girls who had stayed over when Piper and her sisters threw me a brilliant hen party. The girls, who included Melinda, Amy, Paige, Phoebe, Piper and Billie, of course, along with Melinda, Chris and Wyatt's female charges as well as a few female friends from the label, had all started moaning when I woke them up at five this morning. The hen party on the other hand was amazing.

We went out partying at a local club, which was not P3, and most of the girls got totally drunk. It was hilarious but I stayed fairly sober, or at least sober enough that I remembered dancing on one of the tables in the club. Elizabeth, Rachel and Billie on the other hand didn't remember dancing with me. Then afterwards some of the girls had decided it would be fun to go and spy and the boys so we all tagged along and some of them shouted insults through the open window before we hid in bushes and whatever would cover us. I think the boys knew it was us though especially since some of my group were wearing brightly coloured dresses that even in darkness you couldn't miss. Then we got drunk a little bit more, including me, and I vaguely remembered one of the girls from the label dancing in the street when it was raining, until one of the boys- I'm not mentioning any names, Caleb- ran down the street naked. I was so going to give him hell for that.

"Okay Lila we have some things to give to you" Paige said and I nodded at her before smiling. I was marrying Chris today! The whole idea still seemed surreal.

Paige turned the chair that I was sitting on around so that I was once again facing the mirror and not them, before she pulled my hair up here and there. Luckily my hair grew fast and over the week it had grown so that it was at my shoulders. I watched as her hands braided the sides of my hair, which Piper and Phoebe held when she was done, before Paige pulled my hair up into a loose bun, pulling the braids with it so they blended in. Paige held my hair like that while Piper produced a blue box and opened it so that I could look without having to move my head too much.
