12| Perchance to Dream

***

I looked around the hall of an apartment building that I didn't recognize, with a lounge bag in my hand. There wasn't much time to truly feel confused about where I was as the door I was standing in front of suddenly opened revealing a smiling Roy Harper.

There was something about seeing him smile that felt wrong, though maybe it was because the last memory I had of him he was crying, though I couldn't exactly remember what it was that he was crying about.

"Jade! You made it." He said as he pulled me into a hug and I had to might the urge to push him away feeling that he had no reason to hug me, or that we knew each other well enough to hug. But, if I was standing in front of his apartment I clearly had to know him well, though for some reason there wasn't much that I could remember about him.  "Diane was afraid you wouldn't. She knows you hate weddings."

"Yeah I do" I replied slowly as Roy moved aside to let me in. Something felt wrong, though I couldn't explain exactly what I felt as I stepped into the apartment. The only thing I did now was that I couldn't remember who I had arrived here.

"I'll put this in your room we're already running a bit late." Roy said as he helped my with my lounge before he disappeared into the hallway.

"Jade!" A familiar voice exclaimed, one that caused my heart to stop in a way that I couldn't completely understand. Turning around and meeting my sisters eyes made me feel a happiness that I didn't know was possibly. And when she hugged me I felt like I didn't want to let go, only the feeling that there was something between us had me pulling back and looking at her stomach. "Sorry for the mess we're packing. We should be moving into the new place by the end of the week but we're just so behind."

For a moment I felt completely speechless and unable to gather my thoughts as I looked down at my sister's baby bump. For some reason it was a concept that I fully couldn't wrap my mind around even though it only seemed natural. Her and Roy were married and had been together for as long as I remembered. "You're pregnant?"

Diane smiled brightly as she placed a gentle hand on her stomach. "You have to see it to believe it right? Never thought children were my thing but here we are."

"So have you decided on a name yet?" I asked trying my best to make conversation and brush aside the uneasiness that seemed to not go away.

"Well... we've decided on Isabelle Rose if it's a girl."

"But if it's a boy we've finally settled on Liam." Roy continued as he stepped back into the living room wrapping his arms around Diane. A sight that felt out of place, but I had never seen two people happier together that I immediately brushed the though aside. "We kind of like the mystery of not knowing."

"But enough about the baby this is Dinah and Oliver's day." My sister continued, and I nodded remembering the reason I was here. It was there wedding, only I couldn't remember where I was coming from.     

Roy nodded as he looked down at Diane with so much love and admiration, that even I suddenly felt a longing for what they had. "It's about time that they got married if you ask me."

"I mean they're so prefect for each other. And we all know how Oliver is about commitment." Diane stated as she brushed a strand of hair away from her face, and in that moment I noticed the wedding ring shinning brightly on her finger.
