Eliza laughed at the sight of her Peggy's nervous face.
She'd been trying to calm her little sister down for the past six hours, ever since Peggy had woken up that day with the sun.
It was Peggy and John Laurens' wedding day. Angelica was her maid of honor, as she had been at Eliza's wedding a year and a half ago. Eliza, Theo, and Maria were her bridesmaids.
Peggy was dressed in a white gown, similar to what Eliza had worn. Peggy squirmed uncontrollably in the delicate lace.
Eliza laughed. "C'mon, Pegs, don't be so nervous."
"I'm not like you, Liza," Peggy complained. "You weren't at all this nervous when you married Alex."
"Yes I was," Eliza said. "I just hid it well."
"Wow," Peggy muttered. "Well enough that I didn't notice."
"For once."
Peggy shrugged as Angelica came over to finish Peggy's makeup.
Once she was done Angelica came over to where Eliza was.
"She really doesn't know how to calm down," Angelica commented.
"Yeah," Eliza agreed.
They went over to Peggy, who was still looking the most scared she ever had in her life.
"Be more chill, Peggles!" Angelica exclaimed.
"It's not as easy as Eliza made it look," Peggy grumbled.
"Okay then, let me help you," Eliza said, kneeling in front of Peggy's chair.
"First, you have to remember to breathe," she said.
Eliza waited until she calmed enough to take normal breaths.
"Now, What are you so nervous about?" Eliza asked.
Peggy shrugged. "Everything, I guess."
"Alright, now compare everything to John. What about now?"
Peggy took a deep breath. "Okay. I'm good now."
Angelica smirked. "Well, that was easy."
Eliza shot her a glare.
Theo rushes into the room. "It's time now."
Eliza helped Peggy to her feet.
"You're ready," she said. There was no room for argument.
Their father, Philip Schuyler, had come to give Peggy away. The three sisters hadn't seen him since he had done the same for Eliza. Catherine Schuyler had passed away years ago, but Eliza knew that she was still there with them.
Eliza and Angelica took their places in the procession. They slid into their seats as Peggy started walking down the aisle, with one of their little cousins as the flower girl.
As the ceremony was going on, Eliza could've sworn she saw a few tears streak down Angelica's face.
At last the minister pronounced them married. The whole congregation cheered as John kissed his new wife.
Afterwards, at the Schuyler house during the reception party, Eliza collapsed on the couch next to Alex. Her husband smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"Been quite a day, hasn't it?" Alex said as Eliza rested her head on his shoulder.
Eliza nodded. "One more thing, Alex. This is a secret until I decide we can tell everyone else."
"Okay."
"I'm pregnant," she whispered in his ear.
Alex smiled and kissed her without a word.
Someone yelled from behind them. "Get a room, you two!" Angelica called.
Eliza pulled away.
Nine months later, she held Philip Hamilton in her arms.
