Why London Was So Special

Morning comes and Yue is a busy bee again, walking around the room and gathering the things she will need for the day.

Knock knock.

She unlocks the communicating door automatically and then goes back to her thing. She is lost in her thoughts.

Dylan enters, sees her, and smiles with devotion: his bride. How blessed is he to have found her? What were the chances? How many auditioned for her role? Someone up there must really love him, he is sure.

- Good morning, my beautiful bride - he says and stops her, taking her hands into his and kissing them.

She stops and her heart flutters at his words. They stare into each other's eyes and there is a unique light today, a sparkle.

He kisses her forehead and Yue feels his sincere love... Tiny little ants seem to be walking all over her skin. She wants him to sense that also: she wants him to know what he makes her feel. So, she sits him on the bed, moves his legs to stand closer, takes his hands and puts them on her waist and then runs her hands through his thick, black, shiny hair.

- I love your hair, dear groom.

He's gaping at her, speechless. His heart could not beat any faster, or so he thinks.

With a loving glare, she kisses him on the forehead. She has never done that before, and that simple gesture makes him gasp for air. Tiny little ants are all over his body as well now.

- It's time to go - she whispers.
- Why do we always have to go when the moment is perfect? - he asks with his eyes closed, holding her waist tighter, enjoying her attentions.
- Because we're getting married today, silly!

Snapped back to reality, he says:

- Oh yes! Let's go! Are you ready?
- I think so, I don't think I'm forgetting anything...
- Aunt Gemma will help if you forgot something.
- Ok. Ok.

They go down and hop in the car that Gemma has sent to pick them up. It's a diplomatic auto, with dark windows and a separate driving section.

- Wow! This is great. Aunt Gemma never disappoints - he says.

They have been in the car for about 5 minutes in silence. Yue keeps double checking her mental list to make sure there's nothing she forgot.

- Shen Yue, I want to tell you something.

He takes her hands and looks at her.

- I know this marriage had to be sort of pushed forward... like a lot, so I don't want you to feel any pressure, ok? I mean, it's not like I'm expecting anything just because we are getting married.

She's flushed. She knows what he's talking about, Gemma kind of warned her.

- Ok. Thanks.
- I mean, we will do it when you're ready. I can wait.

She nods.

- We will do it, eventually, right? - he asks a little worried since she was not saying or thinking
much.

She chuckles.

- Yes. Eventually - and she winks.
- Oh, ok. Because, when we do, eventually, we have to make sure we don't have any accidents,
you know.
- You mean, babies?

His face is as red as can be.

- Yep. It would be hard to hide. We need to wait. You do want babies...?
- Mmm... Well, there are a lot of children who need parents in this world. I always thought about adopting one. Could we have one and one?
