Chapter Twenty Three
Jonathan
"Are you ready?" I asked, helping Evan into the rented, white SUV. Evan got into his seat and got comfy. "Of course! I can't wait. I'll be a Dennis." He smiled and grabbed my hand when I got into the driver's side. We had a 2 hour drive and our wedding is tomorrow, so hopefully the baby won't sit on his bladder. I lightly chuckled as we started our way back home, turning on the radio.
Brock
"Everything good!?" Luce asked.
"Yes! All family members should start showing up, some of them have hotel rooms, some of them will stay here." I answered to Luce.
"Okay, what about us?"
"We'll camp outside or something, we have to give the guest room back to Evan and Jon." I jokingly frowned and looked at Luce. She only laughed and pecked me on the lips. It was so weird... just a year ago... it seemed like we were little teenagers, now... now we're grown ups, our best friends are getting married, and they have a child on the way. Yet, we were still either 18 or 19. It's happening too fast, and vampyres live longer.
During the two hours of waiting for both grooms, some of their family showed up. Evan's mother, Susan, and Jon's mother... actually don't know her name yet. She seemed uncomfortable.
"Wait! Why are you here?" Jenny asked, putting her hand on her hip, glaring at her mother.
"Because, my boy is getting married."
"But I thought you hated "gays"."
"Honey, it's-"
"Mom! Do you remember what you told Jon when he was marked?" Her mother looked down at her hands.
"I told him, "Maybe it'll make you straight!"."
"Yeah, and now you're gonna be at his wedding? When it's with another man?"
"Jennifer! I care about you guys, I want to see you grow up. I wanna be there. Just because I 'dislike' it does not mean I don't care for you guys. I just need to get used to it."
"Then would you care that I have a girlfriend?"
"No, as long as you're happy Jenny." After her mother stated that, Jenny took a few steps back, and I swear I saw tears in her eyes. She ran up to her mother and hugged her. "I love you, Mom."
"I love you too, sweetie."
Evan
Jon and I finally got home and were greeted by many different people, including my mom and someone else.
"That's my mom Evan, honestly don't know why she's here, but that's her." I remember earlier how both Jon and Jenny said their mom wasn't a big homo person, so, why not change her mind? I walked over to her, getting a sorta weird look from her as I waddled over. "Hai! I'm Evan!" I smiled and hugged her. "Hello, I'm Penny, and you're Johnny's fiance?" She smiled as she asked the question. I nodded, "Yes, and I am honored, and weirdly also honored to be carrying his baby." I said the last part with a weirder voice, titling my head to the side, not really knowing how to word it. "I'm just glad Jon found you." She smiled and hugged me again. Were Jon and Jenny just fucking around about that, or did she just change her mind on her opinions about homosexuality? I smiled and squeezed her back. "So this is my future grandchild?" She asked, pointing at my belly. I slowly nodded, "Yeah, kinda weird isn't it?" She nodded, "But... it's beautiful how you two did it. And it's amazing knowing it's both you and Johnny's DNA." She smiled and lightly put her hand on my bump. I found Jon in the crowd as I made weird faces while his mother was feeling my belly. He made a little goofy face, and I couldn't help but chuckle. Penny looked up and laughed along, and then started talking to the baby.
"Okay!" Brock yelled over everyone. He grabbed everyone's attention, then he pointed to Jenny. "Okay people! If you're leaving for a hotel, make sure you are here by 6:00 pm! And people staying here, just chillax, and Jon, Evan, don't you dare go into the backyard yet. Evan, Elle, Luce, Agnetha and I, will be in your room at 4:00 getting you ready. Brock, Tyler, and David will be getting you ready Jon. Okay? Everybody know what's going on?" The room filled with "Yes"s and "Hmm"s.
I smiled as Jon pulled on my arm, and walked me back to our bedroom. He pushed the door open and hopped in bed. "Come on honeybun! We're getting married tomorrow! We need the rest!" I chuckled and lightly hopped in bed beside him. We quickly kissed and turned off the lamps at each nightstand. "Love you."
"Love you more."

"Holy fuck, it's already 3:30." I exclaimed as I looked at my phone screen. Jon chuckled and pecked me on the cheek. "You ready?"
"A little nerv-" A sharp little pain went through my lower back. "Ouch." I grabbed where it hurt and Jon was instantly there. He started rubbing it, which always worked, but this time it only took half the pain away. I wasn't gonna bail on our wedding because of a little pain.
Jon and I sat and talked for the 30 minutes we had together before we were together forever, for eternity. Jenny picked me away from Jon and drug me back to her room, and Jon was drug back to the guest room by all the guys.
"So, how about some eyeliner."
"Ah! Yes!"
"Fuck, the bow is a little crooked."
"Awe! Jon's gonna love your hair!"
"Even with a baby inside, you look beautiful!"
"Jon's gonna fall in love with you all over again."
"Remember your vows?"
"Evan honey, it's time to shine."
Jonathan
I was so fucking nervous. I watched as everyone stood. First, Jenny walked down the aisle with Elle, and Samantha in her arms, her little baby arms throwing purple roses. Then, Brock and Luce together. Then Tyler and Craig. Then David and Lui, Agnetha and Marcel. Then... the wonderful piano started playing, and I saw Brian through the screen door first, he was leading someone, and that someone was my Evan. Brian put his arm through Evan's and they walked out of the door. I nearly cried when I saw how a light breeze pushing Evan's lovely black hair, and how sexy he looked with the eyeliner on, and how wonderful his... everything was. We quickly met gazes and he looked down a bit, blush clear across his face.
Brian stopped and let go of Evan, and Nephthys started talking. I turned to Evan and held his rough hands, which was weird, my mom told me something about if your skin is rougher and your hair is greasier when your pregnant. My babbling went through all of the talking, and then... it was my turn to speak.
"Evan, I want to love you for eternity, and this is the closest we can get, and the little oath we have." Everyone silently chuckled. "But, when I met you... I knew... not even Darkness could pull us apart. I love you Evan Fong." I saw the tears forming in Evan's brown eyes. I slightly smiled and listened to the rest of Nephthys's thing. "You may now kiss the vampyre." I spun Evan around and held him close to the ground, kissing him deeply. Everyone whistled and cheered as Evan moved his hands to my face, and I was satisfied with the cold silver of his wedding band against my cheek.
"Now! A little slow dance for the two lovebirds. A song we've saved for a long time, even after I died and came back as a bird." Craig joked and we all laughed as he started the song. Evan and I gasped when Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin started playing. This is the song we'd always talk about, or when one of us started humming, the other one would hum the next verse.
I put my hands on Evan's hips, bringing him close, as he put his hands on my shoulders, staying close. He lightly started singing and looked me right in the eyes. I looked back and leaned in and deeply kissed him again, and I pulled him right up against me, so I could also feel the baby. Halfway through the song I felt something warm against my tux. In a instant I watched Evan stumble away from me holding a bloody belly. He let out a scream and everyone stopped. In slow motion I caught him halfway. I looked at the blood running out of his mouth. He grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes, and gurgled, "It's time." And in a blink of an eye, I was being dragged away from my husband, and my baby.
