She kept pacing and thought of what Pretzel could do for her. "Yes, my nose can be powdered." Which she never thought of until that moment.. "Do you have Mads' ring?" She paused in her pacing to look at the girl curiously, before continuing on again. "And I want you to stand by the tent door to greet the people as they arrive. "

She took a deep breath and waved at Penny and Eric as they came in. She blushed a little when they told her that she was looking beautiful. "Thank you. Do you think Mads will like it?"

She stopped pacing again and looked in the mirror. She had to admit that she looked pretty good.

"Ahh it's just because you're nervous. But you have no reason to be, really." Punz grinned at her friend and clutched her purse a little more tightly. Rings. Right. She totally had Maddox's ring.

The blonde snapped open her clutch and started rummaging around; good thing she'd enlarged it earlier. Charms were one of the few things she had mastered before leaving Hogwarts, heheeh. But where was the ring? Shame it had to be so small...and...and shiny....

"Got it!" she called out cheerfully, holding up the silver wedding band with a proud smile on her face. "Want some powder now?"

She stuck the ring back into an interior pocket of the purse for safekeeping and then moved to get the powder puff. "Er...just like...stick your nose at this...um..."

Rapunzel glanced down at the puff and then to Lima's face and then back to the puff. Mmm no, that was probably a bad idea. What if she accidentally got makeup all over her? She was no expert at those girly things, like, helllllllo nobody wore makeup when playing Quidditch. Well, maybe those saucy Holyhead Harpies did but no real players cared about appearances.

But back to Lima. "Right-o, guests at the tent, I'll go do that!" She dropped the puff in a cloud of powder and practically bounced to the outside of the room, pausing just a moment when she spotted an old friend.

"VANNNNNNNNIEEEE!" she squealed, opening her arms cos she had to give the girl a hug. "Hey gurrrrrrrl how you beeeeeen????!" Oh gosh, she was starting to use Muggle lingo. Punz was excited. Seeing old pals was simply too much fun.

Penny walked around to where Maddox was. She stopped a smiled at him. "Look at you! You clean up very nice. Very handsome." she said still smiling. She walked over and hugged him. 'You are not going to cry.' she told herself. She let go and turned to Mya.

She hugged Mya. "It is so good to see you Mya. Such a big day for you." she said. Mya was one of few people that Penny could talk to. Penny loved her like she was her own mum. She took a hanky out of her clutch and gave it to Mya.

Penny stepped back. She saw Kayla and smiled. "Kayla, Hi! How are you?" she asked. She has not seen Kayla in like forever.

Eric stepped back to let Penny greet her friends. He loved how happy she got when she was able to see her friends. He smiled a small smile. He has heard a lot about Maddox and his mum. He was glad to finally meet him. Even if it took Penny awhile to get around to introducing them.

"What's that? Best man isn't around?" Frederick gave the young man another slap on the back. "Huh! Probably inspecting the bridesmaids, eh?" He laughed loudly and winked at the older of the two women who were clustered around the groom.
He stretched out his hand to her and bowed as far as his arthritic hip allowed. "And what a pleasure it is to see you, Mrs Darcy! How are you?"

Not giving her more than a few seconds to reply, he turned back to the young man. "Oh hardly, sir, hardly," he said, chuckling. "I haven't looked good since '46, and even then it was only because I couldn't find my glasses, hahaha!" Frederick's laugh sounded like a bull coughing, almost solid enough to smack a person upside down with it. "Good looks are for the young, such as yourself, Mr Darcy! For me, it's what's in here," he tapped his head meaningfully, "that I have to take care of. Yes, yes..."

Frederick put up a finger in the classic lecturer's pose. "Healthy living is what does it," he proclaimed, gesturing wildly. "Get up before the birds start coughin' in the trees, and you will reach the three digits like that!"

"Good..." she said while she paced. She saw the ring being held up to her and smiled. If Pretzel hadn't had his ring, she would have flipped out and gone into hysterics.

Though the concept of Pretzel powdering her nose was scarier than she thought it would be at first. She didn't want to come out like a PowderedPuff. So she sighed in relief when the girl said that she would go to greet the people as they arrived.

It was almost time for her to go outside. She was ready - besides her nerves- and she wanted to see him. She stopped pacing and headed over to the table again. She took off her engagement ring and then opened one of the drawers and placed it in there. She knew that it would be safe in there until she came back to get it later.

Tia wandered up to the Darcy house feeling pretty nervous as it had been a while since she had seen either mads or lima and she knew that she was pretty well known now thanks to her qudditch skills and hoped that she could catch up with her best friend soon

"Then he'll be an idiot." Vanessa nodded, being serious for a second. She was pretty sure that Maddox was not going to be changing his mind. That would be pretty stupid, considering that Lima was a very nice and pretty girl.
"Not yet!" Vannie shook her head. pulling her friend away from the window. "It's bad luck!" She insisted, having images of someone falling into a pond in her mind. That would be oddly amusing though.

"Obviously..." Vannie grinned. "I want to get married in green...like pale green." She commented with a smile, as the tried to make Lima less nervous.
"I have..lots of times." She giggled, smiling at her. "He looks good in one." She smirked, very good in her opinion.

"Eeeeh PUUNZZ!" Vanessa giggled, as she gave her friend a tight hug. She hadn't seen her for ages! "Eeep...I've been good." She smiled, she was glad Punzie was here. Now Lima could calm down.

Tristian got out of his car when he arrived at the Darcy Estate in Nottingham, England. He looked down at his coat, making sure everything was perfect. Just like he suspected, everything was perfect. Psssssh. HE was perfect.

Grinning to himself, Tristian locked his car up and headed up the gravel pathway to the big whit tent. He started smoothing out his blonde hair ar as went. He didn't want a hair out of place. I mean, what could be worse than handing your sister over and having a huge piece of hair sticking up on the top of your head? Nothing, I tell you. It was just plain embarrassing.

Finally, Tristian made it to the tent. He walked inside and looked around at all the people that were already there. Where was Lima and Mads? Since he didn't know where they were, he decided just to sit down at one of the tables until it was time to get the show on the road. He wandered over to a vacant chair and sat down.

As she had headed down the gravel pathway to the tent, Elizabeth's eyes had landed on the pond, and she veered away from the tent to go stand by the edge of the water. She strangely missed water, since she hadn't really spent a lot of time back in California in the years after graduating. Granted, a pond was nothing like the Pacific Ocean, but it worked for now. The beaches in England were nowhere near the same as back home. but she had chosen to stay here, first with her cousin and then on her own. She had figured it wasn't fair to leave Ludo, or most of the other friends she had made.

But finally, as she saw more people arriving to the tent in her peripheral vision, she decided she was probably better off if she headed in. In case it meant the wedding was starting soon. So she spun around, fixing the strap of her dress as it slid a little, and headed back to the tent, her fingers twisting around her necklace again as she got there, her green eyes scanning the space for someone to talk to while she waited.

"True. I mean.. I know he won't change his mind, but I'm still scared." She knew that she made no sense. "I'm going to try to think of the honeymoon. I need a vacation in the tropics." She closed her eyes and imagined laying on a beach drinking from a coconut shell. And she was going to try surfing. There, that's a little better.

Smiling over Vannie's little spaz, she said, "Oh, he will be at the back of the tent, I'm sure. So I wouldn't be able to see him out there." Really, she only saw Liz walking from the pond towards the pond to join the others. And Tristan. "My brother's here." She smiled. She had had a nagging doubt in the back of her mind that said he wouldn't come. Just that makes me feel so much better about things.

"I'm sure that Miles will look great. I can't wait for you two to get married. Maybe light green and light yellow? For both of your House colours?" She raised her brow, wondering what Vannie would think of that suggestion.

Nicholai wasn't late. He truly was not late. For the past half-hour he'd been playing a completely unplanned and unwanted game of hide and seek with a little boy who was currently tearing around the place wearing Nico's tie as a headband and what had been a ridiculously expensive Armani suit jacket as a cape. He chased the boy, who had a distinctly Toussaint look about him, right into a room practically full up with women that Nico recognised in a vague sort of look-its-a-bunch-of-badgers kind of way, more than that wasn't truly possible since his eyes were on the little boy.

Nicholai launched himself at the kid, scooped him up and lay there on the ground holding the squirming child and attempting to get his breath back and for that moment ignoring the fact that his clothes were probably getting all sorts of dirt and fluff on them.

He rolled over and even though he was lying on the ground and therefore not able to take his usual stance to match the dry delivery, he raised his eyebrow upon seeing Lima from his upside down position. "Perhaps not my greatest entry and yet I can hardly regret being presented with the opportunity to see how beautiful the bride is before her groom lays eyes on her." Nico sat up, and slowly got to his feet, still holding the squirming little boy under one arm. He extended the other to Lima and offered her a crooked grin. "You look absolutely ravishing."

Ohmygosh.

Reese was running late. Actually, make that MEGA late. Lima wanted her here a little bit early and Reese felt bad for being late, she should have listened to Lima and been there early. Lima was probably freaking out over the wedding and she was probably wanting her little Reeses Pieces right now. But, it wasn't her fault she was late. It was Ryan's fault. ALL HIS FAULT! Ryan needed help cooking cookies (yeah, who knew Ryan could cook), because he was making them for their mom and he didn't want to burn them like he did the last time. So, Reese has to show Ryan how to put cookies in the oven the right way.

Reese, who was running up the gravel pathway now, waved goodbye to her mother before she entered the big white circus tent. She finally stopped as she walked in, to catch her breath. Breath in....Breath out... She walked out to a table and sat down. She pulled her legs up to her and took off her high heels and rubbed her feet. Lesson learned, NEVER run in high heels. After rubbing her feet for a few seconds, she stuck her shoe back on and stood up.

Now, to find Lima.

It didn't take that long until she found her Lima Bean inside the mansion-she wouldnt have found her if she didn't hear all these voices coming from one of the dressing rooms.. Opening the door,Reese smiled at Lima, who was being surrounded by a group of people. "Hey Lima Bean," she said, but didn't enter the room just yet. "I'm so sorry that I'm late."

Leaning back in his chair, Trisitan watched the few people that where in the tent. This was booooooring. He leaned back up and got off the chair and headed up to Mads, who was at the back of the tent. But, stopped before he reached him. He didn't need Mads help to find his sister and see if she was all ready for this little wedding of hers. He could do it al by HIMSELF. He was a big boy. Lima probably wasn't even ready. For all he knew, she was hypervenilating somewhere about the whole thing. Typical Lima.

Tristian headed up to the mansion, keeping an eye out for any cute girls that might pass. Geez, none passed him. What kind of friends did Lima hang around? Hopefully, not ugly ones. He would die if they were ugly.

Finally making it to the mansion, Tristian walked inside and looked around. He didn't know where to start. Lima could be anywhere, but he had a feeling she was in here somewhere. Anywhere. Sighing a little bit, Tristian started walking around the mansion until he finally heard voices coming from a nearby room. He grinned and walked up to the door, which was being help open by a little blonde girl. Okay. Out of his way. Big brother who wants to see his little sister is coming throught. Tristian pushed the girl out of the way and headed into the room, where he saw Lima and all these girls surrounding her.

OHMYGOSH.

Why were all these girls surrounding his sister? They should be surrounding him and ONLY him. He needed attention. He wanted attention. He tried to put on a smile as he said, "Hello."

She raised her brows in surprise as Nico literally landed at her feet. "Glad you could drop by. You always knew how to make an entrance, Nico," she said winking as she headed over to him. As soon as he was standing, she took Mikey from him and smiled. "Hello, little man. Causing trouble with your daddy, I see."

Turning her eyes back to the Best Man, she added, "you look great yourself. Glad you approve. You think the Groom will like it? And I love your suit by the way. Or the bit you are wearing at least.."" she added, casting a glance at the boy she was holding in her arms.

And then she saw Reese come in right behind Nico. "Reese!" she called out as she handed Mikey over to his father. She grabbed the girl in a hug and said, "where were you? I was starting to panic, thinking that you were going to be late." She was so relieved. Now it was only Ella she had to wait for. She just better come before the ceremony.

Then she heard her brother's voice. She let go of Reese and headed over to him. "You came. I was worried you wouldn't." She gave him a hug then examined him. "You look rather nice." She was afraid to say much more, as she didn't want to flare up his ego more than it probably was already.

Reese tumbled over a little bit as the guy pushed right past her and walked over to Lima. "Ruuuuude," she muttered under her breath. She stood back up and ruffled her dress a little bit. That guy needed to watch out where he was going, he didn't need to psh people out of the way. Who did he think he was?

Reese smiled when Lima rushed over to hug her. "Hey gurly," she said. She wrapped her arms around her friend. "Oh, yeah. Ryan needed help baking cookies. He didn't want to burn them,again. He was making them for Heath and mom." She nodded her head to the fact. "Psssssh.Like I, Reese Upstead, would be late," she added with a little laugh. "No, really. I wouldn't be late. It's not me to be late to special gatherings."

Tristian watched as his sister ran over and hugged that blonde girl, who he pushed out of the a little bit ago. He took his eyes off them and looked at all the lovely girls that were in the room.

Would it be bad if he hooked up with someone at his sister's wedding? Ehhhhh- don't answer that.

Tristian put his attention back on Lima, when she ran over and hugged him. "Ummm-" He lightly patted her on the back, not knowing what else to do. He wasn't the person to comfort people. He was more of the person who mad little kids cry and run to their mommy. NEVER the person to help someone. "Why wouldn't I come? I had NO choice, but to come. Who else would give you away? I'm the only one left in the family. Let me tell you, if our parents were here- I would be in Hawaii now, chilling." There. He told the truth. Lima couldn't get upset over him telling the truth, riiiiight? RIGHT!

"You had to help make cookies?" She blinked. "Didn't he know that you had to come for the wedding?" Of all the stupid reasons.. UGH! Couldn't the kid have awaited to bake them at another time? Or asked someone else? "Sorry, Im just really nervous," she said giving Reese another squeeze.




She suddenly let go of him. She couldn't believe that he could be so cruel to her. Even on her wedding day. "Fine.. If you would rather be somewhere else, go. I don't have to have you give me away. I can have someone else do it. Vannah would. Or Sam."

She walked away from him and sat back down on her stool. She crossed her one leg over the other and sat there grabbing a piece of her dress and squeezing it. She would not lose it at him. She would not yell.

Deep breaths. In and out. She closed her eyes and tried to calm down.

Nicholai shrugged and used the moment where his hands were free again to cast a few cleaning charms on himself. "It's only worth making an entrance when the audience is appreciative, Lima." He winked at her and took Michael back, holding him with one arm and turning his eyes to the other new arrivals. Reese? She looked familiar... it took him a moment but he clicked on two things; one, she was a former housemate of his and two, she'd been a good friend of Cale Newell's. He offered her a polite smile and adjusted his grip on his son as he sized up the other male who looked vaguely like Lima... oh a relative. Hmm. Part of the bridal party then.

"I have something for you, Lima." Nico told her, while waiting for an introduction.

She smiled and noticed that he seemed a little confused as to who Tristian was. "Meet Tristian. He's my brother. He's the one giving me away, and probably the only one here who has an ego bigger than yours."

Then her eyes widened. "What is it?" She wasn't expecting to get anything until after the ceremony.

Reese rolled her eyes slightly. "I don't know. I told Ryan that I had to go,but-I felt bad for him. He has burnt cookies in the past and got scowled by mom," she told Lima. "So, I just showed him how to properly use the oven. I mean, he's like a few years older than me, yet, he doesn't know how to cook. Poor boy."

"It's fine. You have the right to be nervouse," Reese said. "You're getting married in less than an hour or so." She hugged Lima back when she squeezed her, again.

Tristian watched as Lima got all mad at him. "Oh,Lima. I didn't mean it like that. I'm happy to give you away, it's just- " He stopped talking and looked at the other guy that was in the room then looked back at Lima. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I'm more than happy to give you away. Now, if you were marrying some hobo guy from New York- I wouldn't hand you away. But, that Mads guy is pretty cool." Not as cool as him, but oh well. No one could beat Tristian's style and looks. They were unbeatable.
Reese took her eyes of Lima and looked over to the guy that entered the room before her. Hmmmm. He looked familiar, but she couldn't quite remember where she had seen him at. Then, Lima said his name: Nico? Oh, yeah. She remembered that guy. He was a fellow Slytherin a few years ago. "Hello," she told him with a smile. Might as well say something while you're sitting here staring at the guy.

"Yaaay I'm glad to hear that," Rapunzel bubbled, beaming at Vannie. She did look good, really. And it had been too long.

Nico sat up, and slowly got to his feet, still holding the squirming little boy under one arm. He extended the other to Lima and offered her a crooked grin. "You look absolutely ravishing."

But back to the wedding. Rapunzel was immediately reminded of the reason they were there when the best man came zooming into the room. Odd.

"Who's the kid?" she asked curiously, squinting at the hyper boy under his arm. "Are there going to be kids here?" Punz kinda liked kids and kinda didn't...probably because she was far too childish for her own good.

And oh, that must be Lima's brother. Punz tilted her head and eyed the guy upsetting Lima critically. Ugh. He reminded her of that big-headed dude from France. Rapunzel didn't like Frenchies. But at least this one seemed to be apologizing...which he should, durrrr.

The blonde glanced down at her little crystal purple watch and then back at Lima, slowly walking over to sink into a seat next to her dressing chair. She disagreed that Maddox was all thaaaat cool, well, cos no one could beat Ryan, but she didn't say anything. "How are we doing on time, Lima?" Punz piped up. "You still want me to do anything?" She was having trouble sitting still. And the Cannons were probably halfway through their match right now. Eeep.

She shook her head but made no further comment. There was no point. At least Reese was here now. She clasped her hands nervously at the last comment and then said, "I just want to get this over with. I'm too tense." She started pacing again.


She relaxed again. "I'll have to tell him you said that. That's rather high praise from you." She smiled weakly. She felt a little better now that she knew that he wasn't just looking at this as a chore. Though she was annoyed that he made it sound like it was. But she would not go there.

Lima raised her brow at her Maid of Honor. "I'm doing good on time, but I really need you outside greeting guests and leading them to seats. There is a line forming and Nico's up here and Mads is probably at the back of the tent." She was surprised that the girl was still here, but she wasn't going to comment. This was her best friend and she was going to not tel her to get out.

"I want to just go down and see him already!"

Greet the guests. Ohhh right. Rapunzel resisted the urge to roll her eyes - being ordered around like she was five, honestly - and stood up. "Mmkay sure....whatever for you, dear....and no worries, you'll be seeing SOOO MUCH of him for the rest of your life." Punz winked at Lima and then grabbed her purse to head out.

She wandered past the people populating the little dressing zone and made her way to the tent area. She stood there, and fidgeted with the edge of the her purple dress, feeling odd because she didn't match the other bridesmaids. Annnd then she realized she didn't even know most of the guests. How was she supposed to greet people she didn't know? What if there were wedding crashers sneaking in? Like, evil archenemies perhaps Lima had developed her last year of school or whatever?!

"Hi. Hello. Welcome to the wedding. Hi. Hello. Welcome to the wedding. Hi. Hello. Welcome to the wedding. Please have a seat in the tent and enjoy the ceremony." Rapunzel started muttering, plastering a smile on her face to greet the guests. You know, she was quite a quidditch star, really, and being relegated to a wedding greeter was NOT that much fun. Lima was SO doing this at her wedding...if she ever tied the knot.

Astrid quickly made her way up the gravel pathway, anxious to get a glimpse of the one person who had been on her mind for the last month. Her 'big brother' was getting married. It was almost too hard to believe. He would be the first. She'd never let him forget that. Haha.

He hadn't been very clear on where she'd find him, he just told her to come find him first. As if she had any other intention. Hearing some voices near the back of the tent, Astrid quicken her pace to investigate. And then there he was... "Maddox Darcy, you big strapping man, get over here and give me what I came for!" She ordered, with her hand on her hip like she meant business.

Maddox grinned at her. It was rare to find Kayla crying, and at a wedding? Really. "It's alright, your not the only one." He grinned and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.


He breathed a sigh of relief. Just knowing that Nico was here made him calmer. He needed his best and truest friend today. "I hope so, because I'm sure the bride is getting rather impatient." He smirked at that thought.


Maddox grinned widely. He had a feeling his godson was acting up. Of course that would be it. "How's my godson? Being a tyrant today like Uncle Maddox?" Maddox loved that kid. He was the most amazing thing since sliced bread. Though excited to see Michael in a tux, he was still all nerves. So much so, that his hands were trembling something fierce.



Mya just smiled at Kayla. She was glowing. Glowing like a mother with child. Only a mother would know that look, and boy was she glowing. The teary eyes, though she could generally be that happy for Maddox, were also another dead give away. Mya pursed her lips, before saying, "Yes my lug over there has been rather distracted." She smiled, and continued, "And we do need to stop, I can only redo my make so many times without magic." She chuckled, then quickly leaned in, and whispered in Kayla's ear, "Are you pregnant?"




Maddox grinned and held Penny tightly. It had only been a day or so since he last saw her. She had been helping alot with the decorations, as well as the other bridesmaids, and Astrid. "You look gorgeous as well my darling." He looked over at the bloak standing close by and watching with a grin on his face. "And who is this Pen's?" He said with a smile. Had Penny gotten a boyfriend?




Mya smiled hugely. Penny was like another daughter to her. It had been so long since she had last seen the beautiful thing! "You look gorgeous my Penny. Yes it is a big day. Our Maddy is getting married." SHe started to tear up again, and quickly grabbed a clean tissue from her purse.


Maddox rolled his eyes. He hated being called Maddy. But he could never tell his mother that. He walked over to her and placed an arm around her shoulder, and kissed her cheek.




Maddox raised his left eyebrow at the old man. Obviously, he didnt know that the best man. But he was a funny old man to say the least. Mads chuckled and replied, "I'm sure even then you were a player." He nodded and said, "Even for me its about whats in there." He grinned.


Mya was going to answer the minister, but he quickly turned away. 'What an odd old creature.' She thought to herself.






Maddox tried not to laugh at that statment, but was completely distracted by how beautiful his 'lil sis' was. He smiled, walked right up to Astrid, and pulled her into a huge hug, as well as planting a big smooch on her lips. "Happy now?" He chuckled and hugged her even tighter.


"Everytime I see you, you just get even more gorgeous. I am going to have to beat them off with a stick arent I? It's just not right. You are not allowed to be so pretty." He folded his arms across his chest, shaking his head and grinning at her. Bloody hell, if anything happened between him and Lima....

Penny giggled when he hugged her tightly. When he complimented her she blushed. "Yeah yeah. I know." she said teasing him. Then Mads asked the question. She blushed deeper.

Penny laughed at when Mya used her nickname for Maddox. "I know. I never thought it would happen and if it did, he would be the last one, not the first." she said. She was sure she would have been married before Mads.

Now that she put off Maddox's last question, it was time to intoduce Eric. She turned grabbed Eric's hand and pulled him up. "Mya and Maddox, I want you to meet the love of my life, Eric Larson." she said, her eyes lighting up when she looked at him. She was so nervous about how Mads would take this.

Eric smiled at Penny when she finally introduced him. He stuck his hand out to Maddox. "It is finally nice to meet you both. I have heard so much about the both of you." he said to Maddox and Mya.

Noticing Penny standing there also Kayla gave her a smile when the girl said hello to her. "Hey Penny, how's it going. It's been a long time." If she had to think back on it, it had been since they had attended Hogwarts. Penny had graduated and Kayla...well Kayla had to leave suddenly.


"Sorry, I know it's not like me but I'm just so happy for you." Kayla held onto him quite content to be in his huge arms.

She finally removed herself from his embrace and stepped back and chuckled softly. "I just bet she is and I don't blame her either. I'll bet there are a tonne of girls who are jealous of her right now." Kayla gave him a playful nudge with her elbow and a quick wink.

Kayla shook her head and burst out laughing. "He is...a terror! But the cutest terror you will ever see. Oh my god Mads, you wait until you see him all dressed up in his suit. Nico had an identical suit made as his." Her eyes sparkled as she spoke of her son and Nicholai. "Michael, seems to be a mixture of a lot of people, fortunately he doesn't have a problem with sugar like Cela and Nico." Which was a good thing because he was hyper enough without the added effects of sugar.

Kayla smiled at Mya, "Well with Lima as the bride to be, you can hardly blame him now can you? I bet she's going to look absolutely stunning." Even though she wasn't as close to Lima as she was to Maddox, she still admired the young woman. She had style and a feisty attitude just like herself. Kayla leaned over to hear what Mya said next and she drew back in surprise and she nodded another couple of tears forming in her eyes. "But don't say anything to anyone. This is Maddox and Lima's big day." She unconsciously ran her hand over her stomach and smiled brightly, she was so excited about their new addition.

The what of her what? Maddox's look of shock, wasnt neccesarily a good one. He really didnt need a surprise right now. But...he loved Penny. He wanted her to be happy so, he smiled and took the man's hand. "Nice to meet you Eric. You better be good to her, or else I will harm you." He said this with a smile on his face, though he was completely serious.



"Oh, MADDOX! Stop being such a barbarian!" Mya slapped the back of his head, and then turned back to the young boy. "It is so nice to meet you Eric. Don't listen to Maddox he can be quiet over protective sometimes." She glared over at Maddox, before hugging the young man, "Thank you for coming, with Penny."



Maddox winced at the pain in his skull. Bloody hell mum could still hit hard. "Ouch! Mum! Please dont bruise me, I'm getting married in minutes!" He rubbed the back of his head till the pain went away.







Maddox smiled gently at Kayla. Something seemed different about her, but he couldnt quite put his finger on it. Though he was to distracted to ask at the moment. "Well, I am glad you are here. I dont think I could do this with out you, Nico, Penny, or Astrid here."

When she pulled out of his embrace, he was suddenly wishing she hadnt. He was still shaking pretty badly, and the stability of holding Kayla in his arms was calming. He frowned a bit at that before replying with a grin, "Yes, I'm sure there are, but, I do believe once this is all over, I will be the happiest man on earth. I cant wait for you to see the ballroom. The reception is gonna be awesome!" He chuckled.


Mads grinned mischeviously. He knew how Michael was. He had spent a few days with Nico and the little guy. He was the cutest little terror ever. "Well, with you as his mum and Nico as dad, I wouldnt expect much different." He laughed. Thank goodness for that. Nico and Cela on candy was like the imperius curse gone insane, except for they did the crazy things on their own. "Well thats a plus then. Lets hope it doenst develope over time." He smiled.



Mya smiled and nodded, "Yes, she is. I have already seen her in the dress. She is absolutely stunning." She was so happy for her son. In all honesty, she couldnt believe that Lima even took him back after their break up. He was such an idiot, though Lima was a it at fault as well.

When Kayla confirmed her suspicions, Mya leaned in again and whispered, "He would be happy to hear it you know, and angry that you didnt tell him sooner. It wouldnt put one bit of a damper on the day. It would just make it much sweeter for him. Nico is like a brother to him, and having your son as his godson...He has been so proud." She smiled, and wrapped an arm around the young girls shoulder, "You think about it though. I dont want to force you into it." She smiled, and kissed Kayla on the cheek.



Maddox started to get suspicious of the whispering going on between his mother and Kayla, but not suspicious enough to ask. He just stood there, but then standing there, shaking wasnt doing him much good. So he commenced his pacing, again.
