a bottle of ale for hope

The End

Its twilight. Violet, orange and yellow palettes covers the sky. Sweet music is playing from the grand piano. Guests mainly close friends and family is gathered at the vast garden. The cool September wind passes by every now and then. Empty bottles of ale with candles in them is scattered around the area.

Inside the kitchen was a chaos. D.O. and Kai is fighting again over the final piece for the cake's design.

"Diamonds!!" Kai shouted.

"Roses!!" D.O. hisses.

"Its already at the top part!!!" Kai points out.

"Diamonds?! really?! what if Baekhyun or Yixing eats that?!" D.O.glared.

"Oh," Kai mumbled to his defeat.

As the staff wheel away the finished cake the two dashed to their shared room to get ready.

Chanyeol with Baekhyun and Yixing is at the entrance greeting the guests.

"Baba its itchy," Baekhyun complains.

"A little more dongsaeng," Yixing pats his cousin.

Lu Han and Se Hun is busy helping Kris.

"Sheesh, Lu-ge its too tight!!! I can't breathe!!" Kris hisses.

"No its not!!! don't be a whiney kid!!" Lu Han shouts swatting Kris.

Kris is wearing a black tuxedo. He specifically hates wearing them but now he needs to.

From the other room Dara can hear Kris yelp and shout at his best friend. She too is clad in a very elegant dress. It is a white laced sleeved dress. Hugging her curves which doesnt show show already gave birth. Flower pattern and swarovski crystals adorned her wedding dress.Yoo Jung who is holding her daughter, smiles at her," Wow, just wow," she exclaimed.

Sandara let out a deep breath, "I can't move my feet!"

"Oh shush, that is just the jitters, I should know," Yoo Jung said rolling her eyes.

While waiting for the ceremony to start Sandara planted her eyes to her sleeping angel. Doing so she was drifted back 9 months ago.

Everything is in chaos as Sandara was carried by Kris to the car. Luckily the trip was short. She was in so much pain that day. Cussing and gripping at Kris' arm, she was wheeled to the delivery room.

"Base from our findings she has been in labor for nine hours already," Dr. Jessica said. Kris just looked at her. 9 hours ago his wife is cooking at the kitchen.

After an hour both Sandara and Kris heard the first cry of their daughter. "Shin Hye," Kris mumbled and Sandara smiled.

"Sandara, its time," Yoo Jung pulled Dara back to the present. With sweet Shin Hye walking hand in hand with her aunt the three of them marched out of the house.

Following the path of red and white rose petals Sandara waited at the end of the entourage.

The Princes, led by Kris walked first. Se Hun beside Lu Han, Kai with D.O., and Chanyeol with Xiu Min. Next is the new generation of the Centennial Group, Baekhyun as the ring bearer, Yixing holding the bible, Yoo Jung (who is pregnant so she insisted she should walk with the new generation) and Shin Hye came last.

As she wait for her turn, she remembered the first time she met Kris. Wanting for death to come, he rescues her and treats her well. She also remembered their first unofficial date. The way Kris hides his identity and the way she laughed at his hideous look. She also thought of the first night they passed out drunk and ended up sharing the night together. Lastly she thought of the day she confirmed her pregnancy. The best gift she could ask.

Kris stands patiently at the altar. He is nervous and shaking. "What if she run away?" he asked his twin.

"Ya! are you stupid? Why would she? Shut up Kris! you're talking nonsense," Chanyeol said.

As he saw his little princess walk he calmed down. Shin Hye did a big difference for him and Dara. The little angel smiled and reached for her daddy before she was passed to D.O. and Kai.

Both breathing deep when the song morphed. Kris who was waiting at the altar stepped forward. Sandara stepped forward. Without any thoughts of running away she slowly made her way to her husband.

On her way Dara looked at a bottle of ale. A simple bottle that changed her life forever. A single fragile thing that gave a strong and concrete future. A simple bottle of ale that gave her hope.

As she reach the altar and held Kris' hand, they face again Pastor Heechul.

"No one drunk?" Pastor joked.

"Just drunkenly inlove," Dara and Kris chuckled.

Ending that memorable night with both of them holding a bottle of ale.

"To forever Mrs. Wu."

"Yes, to forever Mr. Wu."
