"I meant retire from looking after everyone. We can still move to Florida. Or Hawaii. Somewhere tropical." Bruce said, waving to Martha as she went by.
|
"Yeah but then I would be worried." Lori chuckled. "I like being where we can watch over them. It's all I have left."
Martha arrived at Gemini's house and knocked. |
"True enough." Bruce smiled. "That's why you're the smart one."
There was some shuffling for a moment before the door opened. "Oh! Hello, Martha. What brings you here?" |
"I wanted to spread the good news! Ethan proposed." Martha held out her hand grinning.
Lori sighed "maybe we can take another vacation or something." she suggested. |
Gemini gasped. "Oh, Martha that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you!" She quickly hugged her niece. "I assume you've already told everyone else. Did he survive Damian?"
|
"Yep and dad so that's two down and three to go." Martha grimaced. "I'm just worried he'll either get scared and run off or say he can't take it and call of the wedding."
|
Gemini shook her head. "He's made it through the worst of it, and he's a tough kid. Plus, he really loves you. He's not going to do anything like that." She assured.
|
"I hope so. At least mom and Rose are nice to him." Martha shrugged a little.
|
Gemini nodded. "And you know you both have a place here if you ever need it." She said.
|
"That's three people." Martha smiled at her. "Would mind helping with the wedding?"
|
Gemini looked overjoyed. "Mind? I would be honored! I'll take care of the cake, anything you two want, I'll make it perfect." She said excitedly.
|
Martha smiled and hugged Gemini. "Thanks Aunt Gemmy. I should get home it will be dark soon." she slipped away waving goodbye.
|
"Be careful getting home!" Gemini called, waving. She watched Martha until she couldn't see her anymore, then went back inside to plan the cake.
|
((Wedding skip?))
|
((Sure beans))
As the wedding drew near, Rosemary did the best she could to help Martha with the planning while also taking care of Todd. She even got Todd a little tux to wear, making sure he was dressed well for his part as ring bearer. |
Lori made sure everything was perfect as Martha paced in her wedding gown which had been Lori's. "I'm so nervous." Martha mumbled playing with her hair. "Relax sweetheart everything is fine and if Ethan even thinks about running he's surround by robins and batman." Lori patted her hand.
|
"He won't run." Rosemary said reassuringly. "He loves you enough to have lived through Damian's torture, there's no way he'll back out now."
Gemini nodded. "She's right. Ethan's not a coward, he won't wimp out." She said, bouncing Todd on her hip. "Uncle Efan wuves you!" Todd piped up, not pulling his thumb from his mouth. |
'thanks everyone." Martha smiled. Lori glanced at the clock "Oh it's time." she smiled and pushed Martha out towards the chapel. She spotted her father and locked onto his arm with vise like force.
|
Bruce managed to smile through the pain, glad that he had been through this once before with Rose so that he was prepared. "You'll be alright." He said.
|
"I know because your here dad." Martha smiled at him still sounding a little nervous. "It's time." Lori bustled by to take her seat. Martha smiled at Rose who was her bridesmaid along with Lilly Isley and Helena Kyle who where Ivy and Selena's daughters.
|
Rosemary smiled back and winked just before the music started and it was time for the bridesmaids to walk down and take their places.
Bruce smiled at his daughter as the music started up, waiting until the bridal march played before starting forward. The trip down the aisle seemed to last both forever and no time at all, until it was time to give Martha away. "I love you, princess." He whispered, just before telling the priest that he would give her away. |
Martha almost didn't let go wishing for a moment that she could just go back to being little but she let go kissing her father on the cheek as she took Ethan's hand. Lori cried threw the whole ceremony until they kissed, she managed to pull herself together enough to clap and smile. "Cake now?" Martha looked eager as she pulled away from Ethan making Lori laugh. "Yes cake now."
|
Rosemary giggled slightly when Todd came waddling down the aisle with the rings, presenting them proudly. She picked him up after that, and he had almost fallen asleep when the word cake was mentioned.
Todd's head snapped up quickly. "Cake? I wan' cake!" He said, bouncing excitedly. Bruce smiled. "Well then let's go find that cake. Gemini, did you make enough?" "Of course, I made enough for everyone and leftovers." Gemini said. |
"Come my cake monster." Martha carried Todd away. "Wait for me." Ethan sighed hurrying after her. "We should go to if we want some." Lori chuckled.
|
Bruce chuckled. "Good idea." He said, taking Lori's hand and following Martha.
Rosemary grabbed Damian and pulled him along. "Come on, before she steals our son and turns him into a frosting beast." |
