"I am not mad at you, Hun. I am a little sad that now is not the right time. I hope that in the future I will have a child but we agreed that now is not the right time. Oh, but I found my wedding dress. In the past, my mother commissioned a dress for me using my ideas. I tried it on and it looks amazing. We do not know what we will do but I know that I want you there with me. How about you? Has there been any progress in that field for you?" Yuki giggles and leads Sephira to the lawn chairs. She picks up the sunblock and starts to apply it over her body.Sephira blushes and follows Yuki, "there has been no talk about us getting married or even engaged. We are just starting to get to know each other. I am not used to being in such a sweet relations.h.i.+p. I feel like I won the lottery. After being stuck with a.s.sholes and killing people my whole life I think that settling down is a good idea but I will do everything that I can to protect you and Cedric. You both are really important to this world. I will get your back for you." She took the sunblock and started to spread it all over Yuki"s back.
"Thank you. I promise you that I am happy to be your friend and I look forward to our partners.h.i.+p. I trust you Sephira. I know that you have my best interest in mind. I think that you are the best partner for my Brother. So I will be wis.h.i.+ng for both of your happiness." Yuki smiled and leaned forward.
Sephira spreads the sunblock all over making sure that she does not miss a spot. "Is there something that you want in the hall that I could do?"
"For the wedding?" Yuki thinks about it for a moment. "There is something that I would love. Be my maid of honour Sephira. I know that you took on the job to be my guard. I want you to be there for me for the most important day of my life. The colour theme is navy blue."
"It would be my honour to do that for you. Navy blue is a wonderful colour. I will work with that and get the hall set up and as your maid of honour I will steal you on the night before the wedding and we will have some girl"s time." Sephira giggles and hugs Yuki from behind.
Cedric came up the ladder at that time with the shrimp bowls floating in the air. "You will do nothing of the sort." Cedric only heard that she would steal Yuki.
"But it is customary for the bride and groom to be separated the night before the wedding. I was only going to have her over and chat with the girl chat but if you do not like that then I will plan something else." Sephira lets Yuki go and sits down next to her.
Claude came up the ladder chuckling, "if you steal Yuki then I will take Cedric for a night on the town. I will try to get him wasted. Not that it will actually work." He sighs dramatically.
"Cedric, I was talking about the night before the wedding. I was going to plan some girl"s night out activities to do in the house. We weren"t going to do anything bad," Sephira pouts.
"I"m sorry, I forgot that was a thing that happened… I will allow it for a night. Claude we will let the girls stay overnight in the castle doing the girly activities and we will drink a lot. Let"s see how long you last this time. I will pull out the expensive bottom shelf stuff." Cedric smiled while looking at the girls. "I will send you girls with a case of wine."
"I will not be able to drink it but I will get Yuki to drink it. Can a vampire get drunk from human wine?" Sephira looks between Cedric and Yuki.
"I never said that it would be human wine." Cedric set everything on the table.
"There is some expensive wine that can be bought for vampires. I think I have tried it in the past. I do not know what my tolerance is to it but it will be fun!" Yuki giggles at Sephira"s expression.
"The wine that is meant for vampires is hard to make and the alcohol content is dangerous for most beings. Werewolves, vampires, and demons are the ones that get drunk off of it. It is rare but that is why Cedric said he would send it over. You will be able to have a gla.s.s and it will not harm the baby but I would wait until the little one is born." Claude gives an explanation. "Also, once the moon comes out and the sun is gone I will see about the dates."
"Thank you, big brother." Yuki got up and sat next to Cedric. "I would like to try some of this wine if you have any here on the s.h.i.+p."
"I thought that you might say that so I brought up a case." Cedric uses his magic to bring it up to the deck and pulls out four gla.s.ses. He pops the cork on the bottle and pours three half gla.s.ses. Then he opens a different bottle and hands it to Sephira. "This is sparkling juice. Nothing that could harm your baby."
"Thank you, Cedric." Sephira took the bottle and a gla.s.s and poured herself a gla.s.s and held up her gla.s.s. "I want to make a toast. To our friends.h.i.+p and to new beginnings."
Yuki held up the gla.s.s she was handed and clicked her gla.s.s against Sephira"s, "to happiness."
Claude picked his up and tapped as well. "To the future."
Cedric was the last to join in. "To new and old memories." After that everyone took a sip of their drinks.
