Moll took Aisling aside to explain what was happening. "You see Astila and Dude has words yesterday so I stepped in. I sent your two siblings down memory lane while they slept. Sam was very upset about how Dude spoke to Astila about you. Then later Salali felt that Debra was a little to insensitive . So yesterday on the drive here I placed a little spell on his seat. Then last night Sam felt Debra could use a little remembering as well. He heard them talking and got upset over what they revealed. Man I love that man"s kind heart." She takes Aisling by the hand and they go into breakfast together. The rest of the day was a little awkward for the siblings because two were grappling with their memories while the other was waiting to see what was next.
Astila tells them they have to go see the place they are to get married at. They all get into the different cars leaving the RV at the house and drive to a chapel on the other side of the mountain. Aisling loves the view from the reception area. The chapel is like a log cabin with a stone silo style tower sitting on a ridge . The scenery is breathtaking. The inside is all wood with gla.s.s area to show off the views. She already knows that even if they have nothing but candles it will be amazing.
"Are we really able to get this on such short notice?" Aisling is playing with the crystal at her neck. The owner walks in and slaps Astila on the back in welcome.
"You have nothing to worry about. I am standing here because of the doc here. So he gets whatever he wants. " he looks around when he hears a noise coming from the back. Aisling looks where the noise is coming from . There she sees a couple walk in. She squealed and ran full force straight into the mans arms. He picks her up and holds her tightly. Everyone looks at her dumbfounded. When he sits her back on her feet she looks at him with tears of happiness. Touching his face and hugging him again.
"Is it really you or am I totally embarra.s.sing myself in front of a stranger?" Looking towards the woman beside him. Most know her from Aisling"s wedding a few weeks before so no one was surprised when she hugged her.
" it"s really us and we remember everything just like Moll. I still have my magic to. "Maureen says as she kisses her cheek. Aisling hugs Onacona again before introducing him to everyone. Keeping his hand in hers afraid he will disappear if she does.
"Well it looks like your wife already knows the shaman for the ceremony. I will leave you guys to make the arrangements." With that the owner leaves.
"This is Onacona he is my best friend since I was seven. " they all shake his hand Dude looks at him and remembered where he saw him.
"Whoa you were the ghost Aisling always talked to." Onacona nodded.
"Thanks to your sister I was allowed to be reborn to find my true love and to be reunited with your sister as a living person." He informed him. It all sounded crazy to Dude but everyone was excepting it so he let it go. He tells her what to expect and lets Debra know what she will be expected to do. After they go over the details it"s close to sunset. Aisling asks them if they would like to come back to their home that she has things to return to him. He tells her after the wedding during the winter solstice it will be time . When everyone saw Moll , Maureen and Aisling together for the first time sitting side by side. They were amazed how the three of them looked a like. Everyone except Yona and Dude knew why. Neither of those two were willing to say anything either .
Over the next week Debra and Dude sincerely showed kindness to Aisling in both words and actions. When Maureen came for a visit she sat the two down to ask them some truths.
"You know if you lie to me I will know. I want to know if the kindness your showing your sister is so she will take your punishments away or if you are sincere?" The two look at her with some anxiety but Debra speaks up first.
"I have always loved my sister I just never really paid attention to her . I never cared how she really was doing as long as I was first. When I remembered how things really was for her I was broken inside. Then when Sam told me I needed to truly find how I felt and show it . I prayed for a long time the first night after. Asking G.o.d to help me to find the compa.s.sion that I needed to see past my own desires . To be there for my sister. So the next morning I just started treating her how she has treated me my entire life. In the process I now have a real bond with my sister one that goes both ways. " Maureen can hear the love in Debra"s voice. There is a softer tone to it. Now she looks at Dude.
"Oh it"s my turn. I have always been jealous of the girls . I never really got to know my mom. Aisling was as close as I got till auntie Norma came to stay. I was a little young to remember most things. I do know one thing that Aisling always loved and took up for us. For that I owe her love and respect. Now that I know about the other stuff . I have no reason to be jealous I am grateful instead. I give you my word I will continue to try to be who she would be proud of." His eyes are watering so Maureen knows he is telling the truth. She hugs them both ad tells them she is proud of them. When she walks away Dude can"t stand it anymore he has to ask someone.
"Who are those people please be honest with me?" Debra laughs at her brother.
"Well Moll and Maureen in their past lives were our ancestors. They helped Aisling save our family from a curse. Do they were rewarded with being able to comeback to their true loves that they met through time. Now Onacona was the spirit who she has had by her side since before mama died . She only started talking to him on a regular basis when she was seven. His reward for helping her was to comeback to a time when he could be with her alive with his true love. So those three are our ancestors reincarnated." She looks at her brothers face, he is staring at her as if she has two heads. He thinks about it some more and nods ok . His family is a bunch of lunes but he loves them so he will leave it at that.
