Majory's Second Chance Chapter 23

[tabatha]

Alas, I'm nearing the end to my long Apolo fan fic. I always miss my characters when I end a story. I hope you enjoyed it. And I hope I do Majory and Apolo justice with the ending.
*************************************************************
It was seven o'clock in the morning. The sun shone brightly in the new day. Birds chirped, butterflies fluttered, a dog barked. Through an open window, the sound of traffic could be heard. She was nervous, and it wasn't even her wedding! Majory turned to her mom. They didn't always get along. Many times Majory thought Morgana had resented her. She didn't have kids, while her best friend did. And when that friend died, she took in Majory, then known as Kindred Spirit. Morgana's life was in shambles, she lost Damen. Her closest friend was gone, and she was in charge of a little girl.

That little girl had streaks of blond in brown hair, tanned skin, dark eye brows, and deep understanding eyes. Morgana though herself a horrible person. But when Majory felt herself trust her, she got scared. Kids were good judges of character, she just didn't want to see that in herself. So she shoved her away. Oh, not at first, they were both sad, and lost. But over the years the gap grew. Morgana regretted it. And when she found out that Morning Dew had passed, she relived her past. And felt that she couldn't help Majory, when she hadn't even healed herself.

Then along came Apolo. He swept up her daughter, and gave her love, understanding. He gave her confidence, he gave her, her daughter back. And now she and Damen were getting married. She was a mother to be of his children, their children. And Majory, sweet, loving Majory, was a sister of three brothers. And if she didn't know any better, she'd think Kindred Spirit, her beautiful Native daughter, was about to be a mother herself. Oh, that would make her a grandparent. Morgana turned her head, trying not to cry. To keep it together. Then she changed her mind, grabbed her daughter, and held her close.

Majory stood still. In shock. Morgana burst into tears. "Mom, what is it? Is the wedding getting to you, you and Damen okay, what is going on?"

"It's just that I keep thinking of your birth mom. What a special lady she was, I couldn't be that good, or wonderful, or, OW!" She bit out, shocked, Majory just pinched her.

"I wasn't always easy, Mom. And you know that I call you that because you were my mom. I'll always love my birth mom, I called her Mommy, I still do that." She laughed at the memory. And her mother's sweet voice answering. "Yes, dear."

Morgana stood there. Arms over her breasts. Heart thumping out loud. In her ears. "I scared the crap out of you, and you know it. This wild little girl." Majory teased. "You were great, you did the best you could do. We are better for it, and to tell you the truth, if that path of life didn't happen, we wouldn't be standing here today. It's your wedding, to your sweetheart. Let's celebrate. Get you ready, hitched, and on your honeymoon." Majory wiggled her eye brows. Morgana laughed out loud. It worked. This all would work out...
***********************************************************
I'm going to have Morgana's wedding first. I want her and Majory to make up. Then the big wedding will happen, promise. I hope you like this.

Loved it. I can't wait for the "big" wedding.

The weather was mild, breezy. Waves rolled gently across the sand in a rythm as old as time. While the sun still hung high in the nearly cloudless sky. Apolo watched it all with squinted eyes. He was wearing a casual suit. The wedding was outdoors. Wanted it a little un-traditional. Let the nature, instead of a church be the back drop. While a church was beautiful, he still felt God was there with them. For this day. Did it matter where the vows were said? As long as they were spoken with meaning. He'd have to wait a few more hours yet. Yuki did wear black, Apolo gave him a choice, since he was his best man after all. Yuki gave him his smile. The one feature Apolo got from him. Well maybe the ears and eyes, but the smile was hard to ignore.

"Son, I'm proud of you, I am more proud of you as each day goes by. You found a great one in Majory. She's a sweet girl. I see good things for the both of you. Of course, I do want grand babies, and lots of them." Apolo jerked back. "What? Life is full of risks, some worth taking. You'd be a great dad. Better than me, maybe."

"Never better than you, Dad. I hope I'm half as good as you." Yuki grabbed him in a bear hug.

"Now that's what makes this old man happy." He laughed as Apolo chuckled with him. It was a great sound, father and son laughing, dressed up, along the beaches. The sight was great too.

I'll be back with more soon, enjoy.

[mellie]

I bet that the sight was great to see (I mean Apolo and Yuki).

Can't wait for the read more.

Has it really been that long since I last posted in my fan fic? I better get to it...
*********************************************************
Majory took deep breaths. It was all she could do to get air in her lungs. She was getting married, to the love of her life. And was afriad of messing up, not saying the vows right, making a fool of herself somehow. Morgana took her arm and rubbed it up and down. "You'll do fine, if I can get hitched without anything going wrong, so can you."
With one good look at her daughter, she noticed changes. They were subtle, but there. The way she glowed, got sick in the mornings, and cry for no reason. Morgana's baby, her pride and joy, was going to have a baby of her own. How could she miss this? Tears pricked her eyes. A grandmother, whoa. But, a tiny little life was growing, and that little one was going to have all the love in the world.
"I'm going to ruin my make up if I don't stop tearing up like this, darn it." She grabbed a tissue and dabbed at her eyes.
Majory was a vision in white. Her dress was modest, yet elegant. It wasn't too long, the sand would of gotten on it, not to mention the waves... And opted for sandals, for the same reason. Kind of hard to work through the sand in heels. Her hair was down, but in soft waves. Majory was given her grandmother's pearls to wear. Delitcate orbs at her ears, and around her neck. Nails pink, with white tips. The flowers, they were beautiful, and simple. Yellow and white. If only all their loved ones were here, but then again, they were, in spirit.
"You're a sight, Apolo will love you."
"I sure hope so Mom, I'm so nervous!"
More deep breaths, a hand on her stomach. "I'm bloated."
"You really don't have any clue do you?"
Majory's eyes widened.
***********************************************************
Apolo sighed. "What takes women so long, anyway?"
Yuki shrugged. "Don't know son."
He took his hazel gaze to the waves. Which helped him relax some. In moments the wedding would take place, and he'd be a married man. He smiled. He couldn't wait.
***********************************************************
I hope to have more soon.

Awwww...they're getting married, and going to become parents.

[tabatha]

Apolo was waiting for her. Stunning in his suit. His father had a bright look in his eye. Majory teared up. Yuki was family now. And she adored the man. Damen held her arm in his. Handsome himself. Gave him a squeaze. "Thank you, Dad."

"Anything for you, my girl." It was easy to think of him that way.

They stopped in front of the groom. "Take care of her." Apolo smiled. And accepted her. They turned to the priest. He started the ceremony. The breeze, waves, and scented air belonged. Tranquil feelings seeped in. Nerves slowly fading away. When no one objected, he began, then paused. Handed Apolo the paper.

"Majory I wanted to give you a surprise. I still want the traditional vows, but I wrote you a little something and I just had to share it with you, and everyone here."

Majory's tears came back. Faster.

"I stop and ponder what I did to deserve this life, the things in it, including you. Sometimes I fear I will wake up tomorrow and it will all disappear. I realized how lucky I am to have you, and even the memory of you gets me through they long days. I'll always have you with me. And when we grow old together, have a house full of kids." The group chuckled. "And grandkids, and if one leaves the other, the other will not be forgotten. And that we will reunite. And start where we left off."

Majory put her hand under her nose. "That was beautiful. I wish I would of thought of something like that. Instead I will just say a few things. Apolo, you're are my second chance. Things looked so bleak for me. I lost so much, and was lost. Then I found you, and I somehow found myself. You have given me so much, I just hope that I can return the favor." Apolo smiled at her, squeezed her hand.

The priest then started to speak once again. Fingers shook as they placed their rings on one another. Both a simple but meaningful golden ban. Majory looked at his left hand, it fit so well. It made it more real. Her own rings glinted, fit perfectly. Over time, they'd be too big, or too small, and would be repaired. Like their love, it would become difficult, painful, but they'd come back to one another.

They looked into one another's eyes as the sun had begun to set. Setting a glow to everyone. Most importantly, to them. "You may kiss the bride." Apolo kissed her gently. Afraid she'd disappear like in his dreams. But he opened her eyes, and she was still there. "I love you, Majory Mine."

"I love you Apolo."

Okay, it's been a long time since I last wrote anything on these two. And she will tell him the good news soon, promise!

[mellie]

I haven't read this thread in a long time. Great to read about the wedding.
