Accidents make perfection

Chapter 31

Mare POV

I get in the car with Cal and think of a way of asking him about it "so I heard a rumour that the night I left Norta after we got back together, you slept with premier Ginerva" I say letting him tell me the truth, but he laugh "what the hell?" he says and he looks at me "you don't believe it do you?" He asks and I laugh but it's a fake laugh "no no I don't" I say and I stay silent for the rest of the car ride. Why don't I believe him? Why did I not think it was a joke when she told me? It's like I believed he would do something like that.

Cal POV

When I woke up this morning Mare was already showered and dressed and was doing her makeup I walk into the bathroom and hug her from behind "Cal you're going to mess up my makeup" she says coldly "you ok?" I ask wondering where her coldness is coming from "I'm almost 9 months pregnant, I'm the size of a truck, im going to a wedding that I have to act happy at, my feet don't fit into any of my shoes, I have to pee every 5 minutes, and I can barley get up out of a chaire. So no Cal I'm not ok I'm a fucking mess that has to act put together" she says and I can tell that that's not what's bothering her, but I don't press any further in case I say something wrong. I take my shower and do my hair, I put my suit on and head down stairs and I see that Mare made us breakfast. I sit down next to her and sigh "Mare there's Something bothering you and it's not the pregnancy. What is it?" I ask "well talk about it after the wedding" she says and gets up putting her dishes in the sink.

We get to the wedding and we talk to some people and it looks like Mares mood improves as the day goes on. She heads to Elanes dressing room and I head to Eve's. When I get there she's sitting in the room looking at herself in the mirror "what ya staring at?" I ask and she looks at me through the mirror "I'm terrified Cal. WHY AM I TERRIFIED!" She says and starts to breath heavily "woah ok calm down, everything's going to be fine." I say and rub her shoulders  "take deep breaths, now what's scaring you?" I ask and she takes a deep breath "it's so different from my past, my life has changed so much in the past year, and when I marry her today it'll mean I've finally moved on from my life, from my parents." She says and I smile "your parents would hate you if they saw what you're doing today" I say and she looks at me brows furrowed "wow thanks that makes this so much better" she says and I laugh "my father would too though, and that's a good thing. Yes they where our parents and we love them, but they where wrong. Look at me, I was a silver prince and now I have a 9 month pregnant new blood girlfriend. We've changed for the better to help other people and support them. We made sacrifices so that we could get here, let's not let all the suffering go to waste" I say and she smiles "Mare must love you while going through pregnancy if you say inspirational shit like that" she says and i laugh "your makeup looks great, now let's see what your dress looks like with it."

I help Eve get ready for the wedding and head out to the reception, it's outside in a beautiful place with trees changing colours all around. i see Mare talking to Ada, when i get closer i see ada straighten herself and she pokes Mares arm "oh hey Cal" Mare says and i kiss her "hey what you two talking about" I ask and Ada looks at Mare "we were just talking about the baby and when im due" she says an i nod. The music starts and we take our seats Eve is walked out by Ptolemus and she wearing a beautiful dress she made of metal, its short at the front and a long train at the back. It goes up to her neck, and doesn't have any sleeves "wow she looks beautiful" Mare says and i smile "she'll never compare to you" i says and she laughs "shut up" she says and i smile. Then Elane comes out wearing an amazing dress mare leans in "i picked out that dress for her" she says "well you did an amazing job" i say and put my arm arround her. The rest of the ceremony was amazing and beautiful and romantic, we stayed for dinner but left after about another hour because Mare was feeling...well not good. We get in the car and drive home.
