The whole morning felt like a dream, like floating not really in my body.

"My Queen" Bower bows. "You look magnificent!

" he blushes. For the first time he gave me a compliment "Awh don't get soft on me now Bow" I tease.

Since I didn't have anyone to walk me down the isle I had asked Bower to do it.

To be honest he wasn't my first choice and he agrued with me when I had asked.

I almost walked down the isle alone, but a few days before he accepted his role.

"Are you ready?" he asks. The music started before I could answer so I tried to give him a convincing nod before we started walking down the isle.

Everyone gasped when they saw me, I tried to keep my head up as Eve had instructed.

I couldn't really see much through my veil but I saw both the bridal party and grooms-men dabbing their eyes.

I was surprised I hadn't cried all day, I had thought I wanted my groom to be balling his eyes out when I walked down the isle but I think that would have sent me into a crying fit.

My Prince stood tall, composed and very handsome in his black suit.

My heart started racing as we got closer.

It's alright my love" I hear. I didn't need some new fantasy bullshit right now.

"Bullshit?" I hear his voice ask.

Great a crazy Queen just what the people need, god why couldn't I keep it together.

"You aren't crazy my love, I marked you remember" he says softly.

Oh okay so I wasn't crazy thats good. "Wait why can I hear you now?

" I question. "I'm not sure" he replies.

"Get out of my head, I'm trying to focus on not falling" I order.

I hear Cain's amused chuckle and then I feel him disappear.

Oh thank god, I needed to keep this secret for a few more hours.

"You look beautiful my love" Cain whispered as the officiant started the ceremony.

"Then why aren't you in tears?" I squint at him.

"I did earlier, I snuck a peak at you" he admits.

"That's bad luck" I hiss. "I don't believe in that" he replies.

"Prince Cain, do you take Nova to be your wife, for eternity?

" he pulls us from our mental conversation.

"I do" he smiles at me. Who would have thought getting high would lead to me marrying a King and becoming his Queen.

"Nova?" I hear the officiant call. Fuck I zoned out, I didn't know what he said.

Cain seemed to be holding his breath, why though.

"Do you take Cain to be you husband, for eternity?

" he repeats. "Oh" I let out a nervous laugh.

"I do" I give Cain's hand a gentle squeeze.

Cain removes my veil and kisses me softly and then like we were the only ones in the room.

I hear people chuckle. "I now pronounce you man and wife" the officiant says.

Cain had skipped to the good part. The room fills with cheers and claps.

"Brother, you have plenty of time for that later" Rinus laughs.

Cain finally pulls away and my head was spinning.

"I love you with all my heart" he whispers.

On to the next part, for another hour we stood for the crowning ceremony which Eve preformed.

Cain was kneeling next to me as Eve put on his crown and then mine.

"I would like to present the new King and Queen Cain and Nova" she beams. The applause was deafening and some people yelled "Long live the Queen Nova and King Cain" I heard Ares voice the loudest. He was taking this surprisely well.

In fact him and Cain seemed to be getting alone better, I was grateful for that but it was strange.

At last food, I tried to be lady like and not scarf food down but being pregnant made that difficult.

"Alara, I can't wait for your wedding" Eve practically sings.

"Well, it will take some time to organize.

We have only just planned the wedding of the century" she laughs.

"I'm expecting so many grandchild from all my sons" she says hugging Rinus.

Apparently Eve had always loved Rinus, she acted in front of Talon to protect Rinus but with him gone she could freely display her affection.

"My Queen, My King" Ares bows. "Ares" Cain smiles.

I look at Alara who shrugs. "May I sit?" Ares asks me.

I didn't know where he wanted to sit, there wasn't really space.

"Of course" Cain replies, scooping me up so Ares sits next to him.

I expected him to place me in his lap but he seats me in Ares lap.

Alara and I both gasp in shock. "I understand this has been difficult, but moving forward I would like to be more cordial.

As you have stated and I have seen your intentions are pure Ares son of Luna Astrid".

"Um, whats happening?" Alara asks. I was too shocked to say anything.

"Ares and I agreed to not be at each others throats" Cain says.

"Meaning?" I ask. "He is allowed to display affection to you in my presence" Cain smiles.

"I am happy you are getting along but I would have liked to be in the loop" I shake my head.

"Well it wouldn't be a surprise wedding present then would it" Ares laughs.

"Speaking of presents!" I would like to go first Rinus says.

"Here it is" he sets a gold box on the table.

"Would you like to open it wife?" Cain asks.

"You can open the first one husband" I blush making Ares and Cain chuckle.

"This says from Nova" Cain reads. Fuck did Rinus do this on purpose, I glare at him but he actually looked like he made an honest mistake.

"Allow me to take this so you can actually open mine, which is this" Rinus sets another gold box on the table with a slightly different color black bow.

"I want to open Nova's first" Cain pushes Rinus's box away.

My heart started pounding as he unwrapped the bow.

"Don't worry my love I'm sure I will love it" he takes my hand kissing it.

Ugh was it hot in here, I begin fanning myself as I get off Ares and begin moving closer to Rinus.

"Maybe lets open mine later" I choke out.

Cain's hands were lifting the lid. I grabbed Rinus's hand and squeezed it, normally it would hurt a normal person but he wasn't one.

"Nova, you need to breath" he whispers in my ear.

Oh my god I did, but I couldn't get my lungs to cooperate had I forgot how to breath?

"Nova" Alara calls making me snap out of it.

I felt myself breath normally. " What is it darling, don't leave us in suspense!

" Eve exclaims. "A strange image and clothes far too small to fit me" Cain replies.

"There's a note" Ares points out. "Read it out" Vato insists.

Maybe if I faint they will stop and I can do this later, or maybe I can hide it until birth?

No that's dumb, he would definitely notice.

"It says: I never knew a love like this could exists, but I'm glad it does.

You have made me the happiest I've been in awhile (meaning earth).

I'm even happier to have this blessing you have given us, my love, the father of our.

.." Cain stops reading and picks up the little onesie.

"Well Nephew?!" Lord Bain demands. Cain ignores him and hugs the note and onesie to his chest. "Nova, is.

..am I.. are we..?" he struggles to make a coherent sentence.

The tears fall as I nod, "When did you..

" he asks in disbelief. "A couple days ago I got it confirmed" I mumble.

"Are you mad?" I whisper. "No...I'm beyond whatever the word is for joy" he whispers.

"Can someone please tell us whats happening?

" Theron laughs nervously. Ares snatches the note away and continues reading "The father our first child".

Cain gets up and hugs me tight before kneel down to put his ear on my belly.

"AAAAH!!This is wonderful!!! I am going to be a grandmother!

!" Eve screams rushing toward us. I see a blur the a flash of white then hear a loud growl.

Lifting me eyes away from Cain I see Ares growling at Eve.

"Ares!" Orson intervenes. "Oh Orson, hush, he is her protector after all" The general Astrid says.

"I want to hug my daughter-in-law" Eve pouts.

"Cain?" she asks. "Hello, little one" Cain says ignoring her.

"Ares, its okay Eve is just excited" I say.

Ares moves closer to me but allows Eve through.

I move away from Cain and allow Eve to hug me, to which she does but like I'm fragile.

"I'm going to be a grandmother" she cries.

It takes awhile for her to compose herself so Vato has to pry her off me.

"Hue-mans breed easily?" Bower asks. Ares starts growling again and Cain shields me from view.

These two were making things look suspicious.

"No, we breed the first time we sleep with someone" I reply moving to sit down, no one was going to fact check me.

"So where is my grandchild?" Luna Astrid asks.

"Excuse me?" I stare at her. "You and Ares we intimate once upon a time" she states.

"Astrid!" Orson scolds. "Female women have to be in love and he did't um you know release inside" I say as confidently as I can.

I hear people murmur in agreement or approval, thank god because that could have ended bad real quick.

"My gift next!" Rinus changes the topic.

I rip it open because I have no patience and gasp when I see it.

"A boombox?!" I open it and see a tape wedding mix it says.

I take it out excitedly and place it in the middle of the dance floor.

The music starts playing and I squeal happily.

"This is the best gift ever Rinus!" I hug him before starting to dance.

"Alara come join me" I wave her over as Celebration comes on.

"What is it?" Theron asks. "Earth music" Rinus smiles. "I love this!" Alara exclaims jumping when they say "woo hoo". People slowly trickle to the dance floor and move awkwardly. "How should we dance to this?" someone asks.

"Feel the beat and let the music move you" I reply.

After a few seconds everyone was getting the hang of it.

Cain sat hugging the onesie and smiling at me as I sang and danced along happily.

As the songs played the track list seemed eerily similar to a mix someone had made me in the past. But that had to be a coincidence, Rinus had lived on earth and a lot of people like the same or simliar music.

I motioned Cain to come dance with me but stopped when I saw. ..
