Star

After we finished getting dressed and cleaned up our impromptu campsite, it was ti to head ho. Not surprisingly, we were both hungry and wanted food. I also wanted a shower after having spent the night outside.
When we got back, we set our stuff down in the garage and went into the house for breakfast. The food had already been prepared and set on the table. I was glad that I didn't have to wait at all. And it was one of my favorites: pancakes and bacon. So simple yet so good; the food seed like it was designed to please everyone.
I ate a lot more than I usually did since the exercise from the night before had really taken a lot out of . When I was done eating, I went back to my room that I shared with Artem. He ca as well, since he needed to shower and get ready for the day. After we were both cleaned, and he left, I decided I wanted to start thinking about the wedding. Well, what better way to do that than with one of the best party planners that I knew.
"Hey Star, you know you're only like fifty feet away, right? You didn't need to call ."
"Well, I didn't know if you were busy so I called you. Want to co and help with sothing?" I grinned even though she couldn't see it.
"Oooh, now I am intrigued. Let just kiss your cousin goodbye, and I will be on my way."
"Did you phrase it like that on purpose?" I joked with her. "As so form of payback for being with your brother."
"Nah, I was just being cute. I am happy you're with my brother. You two are perfect for each other."
I blushed at her words and was glad she couldn't see it. She was so nice and sweet sotis, even though she was one of the funniest people that I knew. She was also one of the strongest people I knew. I didn't know what I would do in a life without her.
"Sooo, I can guess what you got up to last night." Chay didn't even bother to knock on the door when she ca down to my room. She just opened it and ca right in. "I saw the shit eating grin on my brother's face so I know he was really happy." She grinned at .
"Well, you don't really know why he is happy though." I blushed at her as I thought about the aning behind her words.
"Oh, I can guess." She laughed.
"It's not just the sex, you perv." I laughed at her; it was a long and loud laugh too.
"So there was sex. See, I knew it. That must have been hot, out there under the moon and stars. Not that I want to think about my brother in that way, but still it must have been intense."
She was making blush even harder now. Why did she have to keep bringing up the sex? This would be so much easier if she didn't.
"So, what did you need help with?" She finally changed the subject as she flopped down onto the couch next to .
"Well, I need so help planning sothing." I put a hand on my chin and pretended to be thinking?
"Are you talking about Artem's birthday? That's not until November. You have ti."
"No, it's not that. This is sothing that I need to plan in a hurry." I shook my head like I was frustrated, but in truth I was hiding how funny I found this situation.
"What could you need to plan in such a hurry? A party for the kids?"
I watched as Chay turned her head in confusion and looked at like she really didn't get that."
"The kids will be part of it, but that's not it though."
"Oh geez, co on and just spit it out. Tell what it is already." She looked excited and frustrated at the sa ti and it made laugh.
"I an, it's nothing overly major I guess. I just wanted you to help plan my wedding." I shrugged as I said the words.
There was silence then, as Chay stared at . For a mont I thought she was mad but she looked shocked. Her eyes kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Finally, when I thought her face might split apart or sothing, she jumped straight to her feet and started to jump up and down.
"OH MY GODDESS! OH MY GODDESS! STAR! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOTHING? OH MY GODDESS! OH! MY! GODDESS! EEEEEEEEE!"
She scread, danced, and squealed, all in joy. I could tell that she was happy at the mont, and I just wanted to giggle at her.
"Well, I am telling you now, aren't I? I an, it just happened last night; when else would I have had a chance to tell you?"
"Uhm, I don't know, at breakfast maybe?" She was still on her feet, and it looked like she was dancing all over the place. "Do you know what this ans, Star? Do you know what this makes us now?"
"No, what?" I laughed at her. "Planning buddies?"
"No! It ans that we're sisters now. You are marrying my brother, and that makes you my sister for real now. I am so happy. I have a sister and my idiot brother finally did sothing right."
"So you're getting a sister and a nephew."
"All the boys are my nephews, yeah we knew that."
"No, Chay, a new nephew." We hadn't told her that we knew that the baby was a boy yet.
"Wait, what? You know? How do you know?" She was flabbergasted.
"The Fae Queen did so magic for us. She is my aunt like you know, and she helped us to see a magical light version of our baby."
"Oh my Goddess, that sounds so cool. I am so happy for you. I will have so many nephews. Maybe I will be the first one to have a girl when I finally have kids and get married."
"Maybe." I felt the love in the room. The love from her for , for the baby, for Artem, for my future adopted children, for everyone. Chay really was a loving person; she had a lot to give.
For the next few hours until it was ti for us to go down for lunch, we planned out different parts of the wedding. We also decided that we were going to get married the following month on September the nineteenth.
That day was a Sunday so that would make things so much easier for those that work. But, it also only gave around three weeks to plan this with Chay. I was assured that it was possible though. I also made sure to tell Chay that I wanted to make sure that my dad was able to help plan the wedding. He had missed so much in my life so I didn't want him to miss out on anything else. Plus, with and him, we might be able to do so of the wedding stuff with magic. I am sure he would be happy to help like that.
I was truly starting to get really excited now. I was planning my wedding. A wedding I wanted to be a part of, and no one was forcing to be the bride. I was marrying Artem, who I thought was the best and most perfect man in the entire world. I was gaining so many children within less than five months. I had my dad in my life now. I had a grandpa, cousins, a sister, and lots of people around that loved and cared for . When did this beco my life?
It wasn't that long ago that I was running and trying to get away from hell. It wasn't that long ago that I lived in constant fear and silence. And now look at . I had it all. I had everything that I had ever dreamt of when I was running away from Uncle Howard. I had it all and more. This was truly the best place in the world for .
I couldn't stop myself from smiling and humming all through lunch. Apparently I looked overly happy, and everyone knew sothing was up.
"Why are you smiling so much, Mommy?" Cohen asked with a smile.
"You look so happy." Flint grinned at .
"I am." I smiled at everyone in the room as I squeezed Artem's hand next to . "I am happy because Artem asked to marry him."
That led to another large celebration. All of the kids were happy, but so was everyone else. Toby, Kent, Morgan, Reed, and Bailey congratulated Artem and hugged . Grandpa looked like he was happier than he had ever been. And Dad just smiled since he knew it was coming. I was so happy to have all of them with right now.
