Turning Saints To Sinners

Chapter 57: Celebration Dinner

Zelda lifted Mary into the air once they got home. They giggled and drank wine till they could hardly walk straight. The two hadn't slept a wink that night, too busy making sloppy, drunk love. 

The next morning, the two woke with a hangover but that didn't matter. It was the fact that they would be married someday in the near future that brought happiness to them even through the dreaded hangover. 

They cuddled for most of the day, until Zelda had to go back to the church to discuss more with the coven. Mary sat drinking wine and reading till her love returned home. They went to bed early that night. They needed to rise with the dawning sun.

Zelda awoke first. Stretching and yawning before awakening the brunette. Mary awoke in a fit of giggles at the ticklish pecks Zelda placed around her face and neck. 

They dressed. Mary wore a dark brown wool turtleneck and an even darker brown wool skirt. Her pantyhose was the same colour of her turtleneck. Mary wore her favorite pair of loafers and the small gold locket Zelda bought her. 

Zelda dressed in an emerald green blouse with black trousers. She wore the black loafers Mary had bought her for Christmas and a thin gold chain with a small pearl. They stood together in the mirror, smiling. 

"You ready?" 

"As long as you are." Mary beamed up at her girlfriend. Zelda leaned down to place a few kisses on her lips before they headed out to the Spellman residence.

Hilda was baking banana bread when she heard the front door open. She called out, relieved to hear Zelda answer. 

"We've come to talk to the family. Everyone here?" Zelda entered the kitchen with Mary not far behind.

Ambrose was stuffing his face with chocolate chip pancakes and Sabrina was reading, slowly eating toast. 

"Mornin' Aunties!" The boy called out through a mouth full. 

"Morning, Aunites!" Sabrina cheered as the two women sat down at the table. 

"Have you had breakfast?" Zelda shook her head. Hilda placed two plates in front of them. 

"You said you needed to talk to us?" Sabrina booked marked her book, placing it down beside her on the table. 

"Mmm right, we do." Zelda gave Mary a quick glance. Peering up at the redhead from the top of the cup of tea Hilda had just placed in front of her, she smiled. Her eyes averted to nothing in particular and Zelda turned her attention back to her niece. 

"We have talked to Lilith recently and-" Zelda paused, smiling to herself at the mere thought of marrying Mary. "She has informed us that we would be able to marry." The three Spellmans cheered. Sabrina jumped up from her seat to hug her aunt and her new one. 

The other two also got up to give hugs. Zelda started to tear up, the emotion hitting her hard. Mary was so overwhelmed by the love of a family, she too started to cry. 

-

It was a happy morning in the Spellman household. Mary and Zelda stayed for the rest of the day. Hilda had cooked a massive celebration dinner in honor of the newly engaged couple. 

"Looks delicious, Hilda!" Mary exclaimed as she laid her eyes upon a table covered in food. Roast, potatoes, corn, green beans, gravy, cranberry sauce, pulled pork, green bean casserole, stuffing, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, and a pecan pie for dessert. 
"You really out did yourself." 

Hilda shook her head. "No, dear. This was all necessary! You and Zelds will be wed!" Mary smiled at the thought. Hilda pulled her in for a tight hug and then released her, going over to the dinner bell.

Zelda entered the room shortly after, giving Mary a peck. Zelda sat at the head of the table and Mary to her left, Hilda to her right. Dr. Cerberus joined them, congratulating the two women. 

Zelda was quite surprised at how well Mary got along with everyone. They laughed and made jokes with one another. Mary even nudged Zelda, asking where her wedding ring was. They all laughed, including Zelda. 

-

Once dinner was over, they got ready to leave. 

"Thank you, Hilda. Supper was delicious." Hilda smiled, patting Mary's hand. 

"No problem. Anything for you love birds." Zelda rolled her eyes playfully before taking Mary by the hand and leading her out. 

"See you tomorrow, sister." 

"Tomorrow?" 

Zelda mouthed 'ring shopping', to which Hilda 'oohed'. She gave her sister a goodbye smile before closing the door behind her.
