Until the End of Time | A Team Foster-Keefe story

:: Chapter Twenty-Seven ::

"Keefe," Sophie called, "don't look I have wedding stuff you're not allowed to see!"

"That's like you're asking me to look," he replied, making her roll her eyes. She had decided to move her wedding dress to their apartment, but she could already feel herself regretting it as she had to keep looking over her shoulder every few seconds to make she he wasn't there. 

Once she had successfully hidden it away she walked over their their room and informed him that they had to stop by their parents house within the next hour. "Why?" he asked when she told him. 

"My mom and Della slaved away over the stove all day to make food for us to try. They're determined to make all the food for the wedding," Sophie told him with a smile. "Syden was happy with the decision since it means she won't have to try and track someone down to do it." 

"Do you think we'll get to try some human food?" Keefe asked. "Did you ask them about it? I've always wanted to try some of that." 

"I didn't ask but I guess we can mention that to them later," she replied sitting down on the bed. "I just need at least an hour nap. After work today I was out shopping with the girls for way too long getting wedding stuff."

"I figured you were doing something considering you came in shouting about wedding stuff I couldn't see. Was it your wedding dress, although I thought you bought that like a month or two ago?" 

She nodded before laying down, throwing her face into her pillow. "Yeah," she said, her voice muffled. "I originally left it at the store but we decided to move it back here. Please don't go looking for it, it's a human superstition." She shooed him away so she could take her nap. A few hours later she escaped from their room rejuvenated. 

"Hey there sleeping beauty," Keefe greeted and she rolled her eyes. "Ready to go?" 

She sighed. "Yeah, but let me go brush my hair first. It probably looks like a rats nest."

"I wouldn't use those words exactly, although I do say that it might help just a little." He laughed as she threw a pillow from the couch at him before disappearing to the bathroom. A little while later she returned and raced him to the leapmaster. 

When they entered her parent's house she immediately was attacked with the scent of what seemed like hundreds of different foods hitting her nose. "Whoa, you guys went all out," she greeted her mother as well as Della, who were placing a bunch of different plates on the table. 

"We added a few human dishes to mix things up," Della told them as they took seats at the table. "It was kind of hard to find them without meat until Dex searched some vegan meals for us." 

"Yeah, humans don't care too hard about the avoiding killing animals for food," Sophie said. 

"Well, let's see if you like what we've made."

"This is a lot, I don't think we'll be eating all of this. What are you going to do with all the leftovers?" Sophie stared at all the food in front of them. 

"My daughter and son will be well fed," Della explained, laughing. "I think they'll appreciate the food, I already told them they'd be getting a lot of leftovers." 

"Yeah, we could assume you wouldn't eat it all but making it was lots of fun," Edaline added, placing the last dish on the table. "How do you guys want to get through this?"

"Let's hit each individually," Sophie said. "Want to start with appetizers and word our way down?"

"That sounds alright. We have a human option and then a few elvin options for appetizers. I'm not sure how much people you guys are inviting so I'm not sure how much food you'll need." Della moved to grab a few plates placed on the right side of the table, in front of Keefe. "Try this one first," she handed them a plate with round orange disks. "It's one of my personal favorites."
