Not Your Typical Princess:Selection Fanfiction (COMPLETE)

Chapter 31

Astra POV:
When I wake up I realize that Austin isn't sleeping next to me, then I remember, I'm getting married today. "Holy. Shit." I say.
I lay on my bed staring to the ceiling until my cousins come in, "Astra? You okay?"
"I'm getting married today," I say not looking at them.
Chase giggles, "good job." Her voice dripping with sarcasm.
I don't look at them, "I'm serious. It hasn't hit me until now, I'm getting married today." They giggle and sit next to me, "You'll see when it's your wedding."
"Whatever you say. Come on, we had the maids bring up your breakfast, then you have to start getting ready." Charlie says leaning over my face.
I huff, "fine."
"Maybe start by brushing your teeth!" she exclaims pulling back.
I giggle, "I will after I eat."
The maids come in with my breakfast and Chase and Charlie's breakfast. We talk about the day ahead of us when Charlie asks, "are you planning on having kids?"
"I want them and so does Austie, but I think that we will be married for a year or two before having kids." I tell them. "Chase?"
"Yea?"
"How long do you have to be married before you have the heir?" I ask.
She shrugs, "Not sure... but... it hasn't really hit me yet that I am going to be queen and pretty much be forced to have kids." She looks away from us. "I don't want to talk about the future, unless its yours, Astra."
I shrug, "fair enough."
"Princess Charlie, you have a phone call." A maid says coming into the room.
"Okay, I'll take it here." She goes over to the phone on Astra's dresser. "Hello?... Hi Xander!" I look at Chase eyebrows raised. "That's alright, we haven't been able to get the bride out of bed yet." She says giggling.
"Oh my god! You sound like a giddy school girl!" Chase says laughing.
Charlie pulls the phone away from her ear, "shut up! I do not!"
"You do Sissy!" she falls into a fit of giggles as Charlie keeps talking to Xander.
"I have to go," Charlie says after they talk for 20 minutes. "I miss and love you too." And she hangs up the phone.
"Good! I thought you were going to do, 'no you hang up.' 'No you hang up.' That would have gotten annoying!" Chase says.
Charlie walks over to us, grabs a pillow and hits her sister with it, Chase and I grab one and we have a full on pillow fight.
I always dreamed of having a pillow fight where feathers fly everywhere, like in movies, but the truth is, no feathers, but it was just at fun. When we are done we collapse onto my bed breathing hard and giggling. "Astra, you need to get ready." Charlie says.
"Oh, alright." I head to the shower and wash and shave my body and wash my hair.
When I walk out Chase and Charlie are talking with the maids about my hair and make up. "Good! Lets get you ready!" my maid Sarah says.
I sit down and let them prod and poke me. They curl my hair into lose rings and take some hair from the front of my head and pin it back. My makeup is simple, light pink lips and eye shadow, and a light blush on my cheeks. (Hair pictured above)
My dad, mom and brother walk into the room, my mom gasps, "you look beautiful."
"Thank you." I blush.
Chase and Charlie walk out in their beautiful bridesmaids dresses, "so do you girls!" my mom says.
Chase and Charlie look at each other, "whose who?" they look identical in the dress. But I can tell, I can always tell.
My parents stare at them dumbfounded, "I honestly have no clue!" my mom says. "Just like when you were babies, we were always mixing you two up! I think when you two were 4 months old, we called you by the wrong names for a couple if weeks, we finally had Astra tell us your names!"
"So Astra, who is who?" Chase asks.
"Your Chase," I smile at her. "You can never fool me."
"Fine!" Chase says. "I'll pin my hair on my left side and Char you pin yours on your right."
"Why can't I go on the left?" Charlie asks.
"Because I'm older." Chase smiles. "You never have a good come back for that one Sissy!"
Charlie huffs but has one of the maids pin her hair, on the right side.
****Time laps to start of wedding b/c I'm getting sick of the wedding prep!****
Astra POV:
I walk down the aisle, staring at Austin's beautiful brown eyes. When I get to the end, my dad and brother kiss my cheek, and hand me over to Austin, "you look beautiful." Austin says taking my hands in his after I hand my bouquet to Chase.
"Thank you."
I tone out everything that the priest says until he says, "Austin, do you take Astra to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. To love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part."
Austin looks me straight in the eye, his full of love. "I do." He slips the ring on my finger.
"Astra, do you take Austin to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. To love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part."
I take the ring in my hand, and slide it on his finger and say, "I do."
"Austin, you may kiss-" Austin doesn't wait, he presses his lips to mine and kisses me deeply, I kiss back and pull away.
"I love you," I tell him.
"I love you more," he says, leading me back down the aisle.
Chase POV:
The celebration after was so much fun, I danced with Justin, my Uncle Gerad's son who is a year and a half old, I held him for most if the dancing. My Aunt May is due in 3 months and my mom is due in 5.
I feel a tap on my shoulder to see my father asking me to dance, I curtsy jokingly and dance with him. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks dad," I say. He spins me out and back into him.
"Are you ready to have a baby brother?"
"I can't wait!" I smile. "When you found out mom was pregnant with me and Charlie, did you want a boy or girl?"
He laughs, "your mother and I had this same conversation when we first found out. I wanted a girl."
I tilt my head, "why?"
"I love your mother so much, that I wanted another one of her. And lucky me, I got two more!"
I laugh, "I think Cory is going to look like you." I say.
He spins me away and back again, "oh why is that?"
"I don't know, I just do." I laugh.
"Well, I'll be happy either way." He looks at me and my sister, who is dancing with my uncle. "I wish your grandmother were here, my mom that is."
"What was she like?"
My dad's face breaks into a large smile, "she was the kindest and sweetest person I know. I loved her very much."
"What about your father?" I ask, he never really talks about him.
He tenses, "I don't want to talk about my father at a happy event like this."
I'm about to protest, but I see the look on his face, I'm not sure what it is but I don't want to make his mad. "Alright." I stop dancing and hug him. "I love you daddy."
He wraps his arms around me, "I love you too Chasey." I breath in his cologne. He pulls back and kisses the top of my head, "I should probably go dance with your sister." He leaves to go find her.
I walk over to my mom. "Hey mom."
"Hello darling. What were you and your father talking about?" I sit next to her.
"The baby, you a little and his parents." I say.
"Really?" she asks.
"Yea, how come dad doesn't want to talk about his father?" I ask.
"Did you ask him about Clarkson?"
"Yes, but he says that he doesn't want to talk about him."
My mother takes my hands in hers, "Char-Chase, you have to understand that your father and I don't like his father very much, and I don't want you asking him questions."
I nod, "alright. Why don't you like him."
My mother scoffs, "King Clarkson only put me in the Selection so it would seem fair to the other castes but when your father and I started to fall in love with each other, he was very upset and wanted me gone. Well... look at me now! Queen! And still very much in love."
I laugh, "really? How do you think he would've reacted to me and Charlie?"
"I'm not sure, but your father and I wouldn't let him near either one of you, I can tell you that right now." She says tightly.
I'm about to ask why when I hear, "would you care to dance?" I turn to see Austin. "Don't worry, Astra is dancing with her dad."
I curtsy and go the dance floor. After we dance in silence I ask him, "are you and Astra going to have kids?"
He shrugs, "eventually. Why do you ask?"
"Char and I asked her this morning. It was so funny when we walked in to her room, she was laying on her back staring at the ceiling and when we walked in she said, 'I'm getting married today.'" I laugh.
Austin laughs too, "yea, I wasn't much different either. I woke up and almost fainted when I looked at the calendar and saw 'wedding' written on it." I laugh.
"Chase, could I dance with my husband?" Astra asks.
"Of course!" I say, handing him over to her.
Austin POV:
"We leave for Paris in 2 days!" I tell my wife through the bathroom door.
"I know I can't wait!" she says coming out of the bathroom in only her bra and underwear. I stare at her in shock. "Take a picture, it'll last longer."
I stand up, "I would love to take pictures of you, but I have other things on my mind right now..." I trail off playing with the hem of her panties.
"Care to show me?"
I lift her up and carry her to the bed, "of course, my love." I kiss her deeply.
