Queen of the Serpents- [Sweet Pea] // Riverdale

47

*Natalie's POV

"How are you feeling?"

I let out a shaky breath.

"I don't know." I whispered.

"He's been waiting for you," Toni placed her hand on my shoulder.

"I know." I picked at the the material that was on my body I let out a heavy sigh and nodded. "I'm ready," I smiled at her.

"He's going to cry when he sees you." Toni gave my shoulder a squeeze. "Now let's finish getting you ready," she squealed. I let out a small chuckle as she scurried over to the bed.

"Here we go," she mumbled as she brought over a black box.

"What is that?" I turned around and looked at her.

"Just a little something," she shrugged. "All the serpents pitched in a bit." She opened the box.

"Toni," I whispered.

It was so beautiful.

"A tiara," she pulled it out of the box. "Fit for the Serpent Queen." I shook my head.

"You guys and that damn name." I laughed.

"Oh shut up and turn around." I did as she said and turned around facing the mirror once again.

She placed it on my head and made sure it was secured. She stepped back as she fixed the veil that was attached to it.

"Oh my god," Toni and I both looked into the mirror and saw Cheryl walk into the room. "You look so beautiful, Natalie." She complimented me.

"Thank you, Cheryl." I smiled.

"Well, well, now." She clasped her hands together. "You know the traditions." She beamed.

"What are y-"

She ignored me and came closer to me.

"There we go." I watched as she pinned something to my dress. "My favorite brooch." She stepped back. "Just for something borrowed."

"Oh Cheryl." I brought her into a hug.

"Alright, we better get going." Cheryl spoke up as we pulled away from one another.

"You don't want to be late to your own wedding."

"Look at you," FP walked over to me and pulled me in for a hug. "You look so beautiful."

"Aww, don't go crying on me now old man," I joked as I saw his glassy eyes.

"Oh shut up," we both laughed.

"I am so proud of you," he whispered in my ear.

"I know," a tear rolled down my cheek.

"You are such a strong beautiful woman," he pulled away from me and took a good look at me.

"Well I was raised by one of the best," I chuckled.

"You're right," he laughed. "I did a pretty good job."

"Don't get so full of yourself," I slightly shoved him.

The soft piano notes began to sound out through the church.

"It's show time," he smiled. "You ready?" He eyed me. "Because I won't say anything if you make a break for it." He joked.

"Come on," I wrapped my arm around his. "Let's do this."

The double doors opened and I got to see everyone inside.

He was standing with his back turned facing the alter.
