Getting ready
6 months later
*Tom*
"Is everything ready ?" I ask my sister Emma, as she is the one in control of everything. Today is the day, our wedding day and the day I get to show Kitty our new home outside London. I haven't seen her for 9 weeks as I have been of to film my first movie since I got my new heart. She has been in London with her parents, as her house was sold 3 months ago.
My sister smile at me, giving instructions to the caterer. "Relax Tom, everything is under control. Just get yourself ready okay ?"
"Okay okay, don't be so bossy". I say, but I can't contain my smile. I can't wait to see my beautiful bride and to make our promises, to be a real family.
She looks at me and come over to hug me. "You can't even understand how happy I am for you Tom. She is the perfect woman for you and you will be so happy, I just know it".
"Thank you sis and thank for helping out with this". I say kissing her cheek. "I better go take a shower and get changed then if you have everything under control".
I walk upstairs to the master bedroom. It is kept in white, light beige and grey colours and I really hope she will like it. I can't wait to spend our wedding night here, in the big soft bed. I have missed her so much being away.
Taking of my clothes I watch into the big matching bathroom, this she has to love, I think to myself. Getting into the large shower cabin, it is perfect for taking heated showers together.
Honestly I hope I have done it right, planning this wedding and building the house as a gift to her and that she won't be disappointed with either.
Getting out of the shower I put on my new suit, a dark blue three piece, with a white shirt and a pink tie. I look in the mirror, maybe I should have gotten a haircut ? I find a jar of wax, smoothing a bit in my hands, running them through my hair to tame the emerging curls.
I take a deep breath, nine months ago I got a new heart and a new life. Today I happily places both in the hands of the woman I love.
*Persephone*
I look at myself in the mirror, the dress is so amazing and I hardly recognise myself with the subtle but beautiful makeup and the hair adorned with roses. I am wearing my great grandmothers earrings as my something old and something borrowed, and my garter belt has little blue butterflies on it.
Not having seen Tom for so long makes my heart ache for him. He has planned most of the wedding, and we are having it in the new house he build. My wedding present from him. I know I will love both no matter what.
There is a knock on the door, and Tom's sister Emma steps inside, dressed in her blush bridesmaids dress, her hair braided with a couple of roses. "Oh Kitty, you look so stunning, my brother might need to be watching that heart when he sees you".
"Thank you sweetie, you look beautiful too". I tell her and she really does, as she twirls in front of me, smiling that smile that is so similar to Tom's.
"Oh by the way, here is you bouquet, courtesy of you husband to be. I told him what to pick though". She hands me a bouquet of pink roses, matching the ones in my hair, and then she holdt out a little box. "He also asked me to give you this".
I take the box and curiously open it, gasping slightly. It is a perfect pearl on a thin gold chain. "Oh it is so beautiful".
"Yeah he did good.. just you wait till you see the house, he did very well with that too". She says, taking the chain and gently placing it around me neck. My fingers goes up to gently touch it.
"Come on Kitty, time to go get you a husband". She say smiling, taking my arm and leading my out the room in the fancy little hotel Tom had rented for my family and friends to stay at.
In the hall I find Laura and April waiting in their bridesmaids dresses, looking stunning. "I hug both of them. "Oh you both look amazing".
The door open and I hear my moms voice. "Athena, watch out sweetie, don't fall and mess up you beautiful dress".
"Don't you look like a perfect princess". I say catching my little daughter. She looks like the perfect little flower girl in her pretty dress.
She is smiling happily. "I got a pretty dress, you got a pretty dress too mommy".
My father and brother shows up in there suits and we are all ushered out into the limo waiting outside. My heart beating like a butterflies wings. I can't wait to see the house and to become his wife.
"Look Kitty, there it is". Emma says, pointing out the window as we drive up the long driveway. And I look out to see the most beautiful house. It is dark stones and wood and in kind of ranch like style.
I gasp and hug Athena sitting on my lap. "Look princess, our new wonderful castle, daddy build that for us to live in now".
"Daddy is good at castles". She says, looking with big eyes, making everyone laugh.
"Yes he definitely is princess, among a lot of other things". I tell her. I still think it is utterly crazy that he is giving me a house, but he insists.
*Tom*
I am standing under the arch of pink roses, watching as our families take their places on the chairs. Nervously biting my thumb and shuffling my feet. This is it, finally we will be a real family. I have the papers ready for me to adopt Athena, Kitty just need to sign them.
Finally the music starts, and Zac walks down the aisle with Laura on his arm. They really are a beautiful couple. After them comes my sister Emma on Ben's arm and last but not least April with Luke. All the guys wear a suit similar to mine, just without the waistcoats.
Then my little nephew Henry comes slowly down the aisle, wearing the cutest little suit matching mine, carrying a little basket with the rings tied to a pillow in it. When he sees his mum he starts running, making everyone laugh.
And the comes Athena, my beautiful little princess, spreading rose petals like she has been paid to do so, smiling happily. When she reach me she drops the basket and hugs my leg. "I missed you so much daddy".
"I missed you to princess". I squat down to hug her tightly and kiss her on the forehead. "You look very pretty princess".
The music changes and the doors to the house open, finally it is time. And I can't stop myself from bouncing slightly.
