Effie was getting dressed it had been three months since she had Adelaide. She was back down to her regular weight. She had lost all the baby weight quickly. She was eating healthy and still not able to drink. She however didn't care, but today was her sister's wedding, thats why she had worked so hard to get down to a good weight. She was at the table eating an apple while she held Adelaide in her lap. Her 3 month old had so much attitude and was still and amazingly adorable. She had her father wrapped around her finger like no other.when he would walk in her hands would shoot up and she cry till he picked her up. Effie sighed the only thing still big on her was her chest area. She still breast fed her little one.Effie didn't look up when her daughter started making her daddy noise. "Hey babe."She said. She had planned her sister's wedding for her and had done an amazing job for not being a planner the wedding looked amazing. The venue was awesome and she had help of course, but she made sure everything was perfect for her sister and James.


James was upstairs with his six month old maxi. The boy looked so much like him it wasn't funny. He was dressing his son and cooing to him."you ready to see mommy and daddy get married, my little miracle boy."James says. He laughed and picked him up and the diaper bag.James grabbed his suit and qent down stairs.

Justice, once again, was panicking like crazy. She was wearing her dress, make-up was perfect and hair done up, she looked beautiful if she said so herself.. But she felt oh so bad. Her stomach was turning, her mind was spinning, she could barely stand up and it was hard to breathe. She sat down in a chair and buried her face in her shaking hands, trying to take calming breaths she had learned during pregnancy lessons.. But was it helping? NO!


Just like with Effie, Mac would walk her down the isle. Justice really hoped that the bastard wouldn't drop her, because she was so nervous that she couldn't walk on her heels. Where was her sister when she needed her?! "I'm calm, I'm calm. I can do this." Justice told herself and stood up, but when she looked in the mirror she teared up again and bend forward, leaning on her knees. "I'm not calm, I'm not calm!" She said to herself in a panic and shook her head. "I can't do this. I could climb out the bathroom window and run, no one will ever find me!" Crazy escape plans were going through her panicked state of mind. This was so not good for her heart rate.


Clay headed towards Effie, having changed and everything and smiled at the baby girl on his wife's lap. Adelaide asked to be picked up by him and so he did, the baby had the same power over him as Effie. It was the power of being female and blond. He was sure of that! His daughter already had some blond hairs on her head. "Did you check on the bride yet?" Clay asked and kissed Effie's temple, knowing not to touch her hair in a time like this.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed. "No this one was being a pill"she said. I will go check now.She said and stood. She kissed him and went to walk away. Adelaide looked for her and started to cry and scream."see what I mean, come on little miss." She said and grabbed her daughter shaking her head. She went and knocked on the door. "Justice open up let me and miss Adelaide see the beautiful bride."Effie says. She held Adelaide who held on to her necklace and made small noises.


James walked down holding Maxi he was nervous he had forgotten a few things.he saw clay and sighed. "Dude I am freaking out."He says

[KneelingAngel]

"Door's open!" Justice shouted, unable to stop shaking. Once Effie walked in, Justice grabbed Adelaide out of her arms, placed the baby down and shook her sister by the shoulders. "I'm freaking out. I can't breath. I'm nervous. I can't stop shaking and I have a horrible feeling. Help me find an escape route, I have decided to skip the wedding. I mean, it's not like I have to marry James. We can also just skip the whole wedding part and just stay a couple. We don't need the rings do we, I mean, It doesn't matter does it? We had a baby before marriage and that's officially not in the tradition. I-I don't know what to do and I'm having a panic attack!" Justice said all of that in one breath and without letting her sister go. "What if I forget my vows, or if I trip over my dress, or if the baby starts crying during the ceremony or-or if I die of a heart attack?!"


Justice kept on blaring her mind, eyes unfocused and hyperventilating. She was sure that she was going to pass out before she even put on her heels.


Clay laughed as he saw James. "I can see that." He smiled and adjusted James's tie and jacket. "Calm down, man. Why are you being nervous? You've been with Justice over two year." Now that Clay thought about it, it was quite a short time to meet, fall in love, get engaged and have a baby. "You're going to be fine." He smiled and patted James in the face, causing Maxi to try and do it as well. Even the baby was dressed nicely in a baby suit, Clay was sure that Justice was going to coo because her baby was so cute. "Do you love Justice?" He asked as he fixed the collar of James's shirt. This guy had either lost all of his braincells or he was really stupid, he had managed to miss button his shirt and Clay face palmed. "Relax."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie looked suprised. "Okay first off sit and shut your mouth your going crazy. Stop worrying we got it. You love James and this is a good thing. Now chill okay. Breath now sit and let me fix you. You look beautiful and I have everything under control m you didn't let me skip out and I am happy with my child and husband and you will be happy with your child and husband now you have revoked your to talk till the vows and I do by talking crazy."Effie says. She fixes her sister's hair and make up. She made her sister look perfect. Adelaide had been crying for her mom.She sighed and sat Adelaide in Justices lap.She finished up and sighed there better and remember all crazy talk rights revoked."you already had a kid that is probably the worst part the rest is easy. You love James your going to marry him and that is final."She says.


James sighed and shook his head." I don't know. I love Justice but man I don't want to upset her or anything." He said and redid his shirt and straightened everything out. James sighed. " okay lets go."James grabbed his son and texted Effie, "meet you guys there." Effie reads it and replies. "Okay see you soon tell Clay to come get his daughter I got to do so major work with my sister."Effie texted back.James laughs."dude your wife wants yoy to grab Adelaide. "He says

Clay placed a hand on James's shoulder and gave him a reinsuring smile. "If you ever hurt Justice I'll kill you." He said before walking away. He knew that that probably wasn't helping the guitarist, but it needed to be said. "You'll be fine." Clay said and turned around before walking out of the room. "You and Justice are the weirdest couple I've ever met." He said in all honestly. "But you are also one of the hardest working couple. You fight and argue a lot, but you guys look past that." He said with a small smile. "You're the ideal couple. And you love her, right? You have a baby that proves it… You told her once that you wouldn't run, and you're a man who doesn't walk out on his word. Love her, marry her and stay by her side 'till death do you part." He shot James a wink and headed towards Effie. "There's no backing out man!" He shouted over his shoulder.


Justice sat on a chair, quietly, nervously bouncing her knee. Adelaide was enjoying it, but Justice felt like she was dying. She wanted to marry James, she really did, but maybe it was too soon. they had only been together for two years and so much had happened in those two years. "Are we doing it wrong?" Justice asked her sister. This wasn't a joke, this was serious. She was really scared. "Are we going at it too fast?" She asked and adjusted Adelaide's outfit. "Maybe we should have waited a little longer." Justice's hands tightened in her wedding dress and bit her lip. She had just turned 21. She still had her whole future ahead of her and here she sat in a wedding dress. "I don't want it to go wrong." She said, one tear falling from her eye. She didn't even want to think about it going wrong and them splitting up, she couldn't stand the thought.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James sighed and went to get in the car. He sat nervously waiting with his son. His son was being cute as usual. He smiled and held him close."now thats a good little man.He said and smiled. He wasn't backing out he loved Justice and he knew it be Effie who killed hin if he ever hurt his love, not that he give her chance he take his own life first. He sighed. They were an odd couple, but it is what nade them, well them.He played with his lip ring as he waited.


Effie sighed "I told you. You have exhausted all rights to talking for being crazy. You love James and have a kid with him. Marriage is like taking a step backwards. There is no wrong way to do it. You just have to jump in. And trust that you will come out okay on the other side. To fast please you passed that with Maxi.and wait any longer and you might as well be dead. Nothing will go wrong don't you trust me."She says.Effie caught the tear."uh uh missy I just did your make up no tears not even happy ones till the wedding is over."Effie says.She gave her sister a stern look."you can do this your Justice Lock, who could do it better then strong fiery Justice Lock?"She asks with a small smile and kissed her sister on the head." Now up please lets spin you around and have a look at you."Effie says and grabs Adelaide. She holds her daughter as she helped her sister stand and walk in a slow circle. "Beautiful, wait something is missing."She lightly pinched her sister's cheeks. " there a blushing bride."Effie says. She stopped and stepped back." Oh right finishing touch, you need something Old, something borrowed, and something blue."Effie pulled out a silk bag and slipped out a velvet box. She opened it and took out a butterfly comb it was antique looking and blue sapphires in the wings.Effie put it in her hair."there now your perfect. You know grandmother gave me the comb I use to eye it all the time. One day she gave it to me and told me I would know what to do with it. And with today and all I thought it go nicely and it does."Effie says. She smiled and stepped back holding her baby girl."doesn't Aunty Justice look pretty? "She said and Adelaide garbled. Effie smiles. " yes that's right she does my little princess. "She said in a soft voice and kissed her daughter gently. She heard the door and saw Clay."hey love, thank you. Here is your little princess."She said and walked over handing Adelaide over.Effie kisses him gently, She frowned she hated her baby being any length away from her."okay take her with you and James. Will be there soon."She said and kissed Clay again.

Before Clay could say or do anything, the door was shut again. He stared at the door for a second and whined, he hadn't seen the bride and the dress. "Come on, baby girl." Clay said and shifted the girl in his arms, walking down stairs and to the car. He strapped Adelaide in her baby seat next to Maxi and went to sit up front. Clay looked at James and laughed, he had never seen James so nervous. He was proud of James, he had been through so much and here he was, going to get married. Clay smiled and punched the other in the arm. "James the lady killer getting married, now the paparazzi is going to love that." He teased, trying to get the tension out of James.


Justice wiped her eyes, careful for the rest of her make up. "You should have used waterproof." She grumbled as her sister turned back to her. "Thank you, Effie." Justice smiled and got up to hug her sister. "I wouldn't have been here if it weren't you." She said and pulled back, beaming at her sister with a full blown toothy grin. "I'm getting married." She bit her lip not to tear up again." Okay, let's go before I cry again."

James sighed as they drove to the venue. The kids had fallen asleep. James smiled and took out his son Maxi gently.It was near the beach in a grand ballroom. James just stared." I will kick your wife for this."He said."this is so elaborate."He says and smiled. He went to fix and get ready. The wedding was in 20 mins. People had gathered and were talking.


Effie smiles at her sister and gets her into a car downstairs. Once inside Effie smiles at her sister with a nod."very well done and if I used waterproof it clumps to much also water proof lies."Effie says. She winked at her sister as they drove to the venue with ten minutes to spare.Effie ushered Justice in side and smiled. "One last outfit check."Effie said. She fixed a couple of things."there all set."She says and winked. Mac walked in and smiled. "Beautiful my little prodigy. You will be awesome."he says and kissed Justices hand."thats my que to go. Curtsey pretty" Effie Joked.She walked out to meet up with Clay. "Hey love where is my little pumpkin. Awww there she is."She saw Adelaide clinging to Clay tiredly. She had her head laying in his shoulder and her thumb in her mouth. Her eye's half closed. Upon seeing her mother she started to move about and whine.Effie smiles and took her. She kissed her daughter's cheek and rubbed her back humming and bouncing her gently. Her baby gril yawned and fell asleep on her mother's shoulder. Effie turns and smiled at Clay."You sir are amazing and look so handsome. I Love you, I am glad your my husband and that we have little Adelaide here.so thank you for being my rock. "She said to Clay. "Sorry had to say it.Your the one thing that has stayed constant in my life, and I doubt I can ever thank you enough. "She said

Clay smiled and kissed his wife. She was so sweet sometimes. "Anything for you, darlin." He smirked and kissed her again. He heard a sound and knew it was their sign. The wedding was starting. "Fingers crossed." He joked and handed Maxi to one of their butlers, pulling the fist from his mouth. They had invited everybody who worked at their house. "Let's do this." He smiled and gave both his girls a kiss on the head.


Justice bolded her hands and bit her lip. Mac placed the veil over her face, at least no one would see her tears like this. "Everything's going to be alright, right?" She asked Mac. "Promise me you won't drop me." She mumbled with a nervous smile and shaking hands. She straightened out her dress and wondered if James would like it. There were so many things that could go wrong, but she focused on the good things. No one would ever be able to take James away from her now.

The flower girls walked before Effie then maxi with the butler and rings. The brides maids and groomsmen were next.Effie and Clay were second to last to walk down the aisle she had Adelaide asleep in her arms.James came next he walked down the aisle calmly. He waited at the alter for her. When the music for the bride started playing. They all stood and looked back. Effie smiles and waits.Mac smiles at her," trust me I wont let you fall."He said and walked her to the doors."ready?"Mac said and started walking her to the alter. At the alter he handed her to James. James winked at Justice and grabbed her hand. The priest started to drone on.

[KneelingAngel]

"Not really." Justice said when Mac asked her if she was ready, but before she could pull back or anything, he lead her down the isle and to the alter. James looked really handsome and it made her smile, so much for saying that he wasn't going to wear a monkey suit anymore. Justice bit her lip as Mac handed her to James and James shooting her a wink. She smiled at him and her hands stopped shaking as he held on to her. His smile made everything so much better. All the thoughts were gone, it was just him and the future with him and their baby. Everything would turn out fine.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

The priest asked them to say there vows. James did they were original and heart felt.when the priest asks does any one object. Effie turned to give a no you dont face to the crowd. With that said they go on to the I do's.James smiles when he was asked If he takes her as gis wife.He winked. "you bet your sweet ass I do."He said and put the ring on her finger. The priest turned to Justice asking the same questions and waiting for her reply. Effie held Adelaide close through the whole ceremony her daughter had been mostly asleep. She watched her sister with a look of pride.Effie looked over at Clay lovingly. She bit her bottom lip, she wanted him.She felt the ring in her left hand.She smiles knowing she was all Clays.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice said her vows and smiled at James saying I do in his special way. She wanted to kiss him, but the the priest and the whole room waited for her answer. "Of course I do, you thick sculled lover." Before the priest announce that they could kiss, Justice pulled the veil from her face and pulled James close by his collar, crashing her lips on his. Even the priest laughed and the crowd started clapping. Justice pulled back and bit her lip as a blush spread on her face, this had probably been the best decision in her life.


Clay winked at Effie, a silent promise for a fun night later. He clapped when Effie and James were "pronounced" husband and wife. They both deserved it. He watched them walk away, smiles on their faces and hand in hand. this was almost as beautiful as his own wedding. Marrying Effie had been the best thing in his life and he would never let her go.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James walked down the aisle with his lovely wife and son. They walked to the reception hall. Effie had made it like in the medieval days. A table up front for the bridal party and then tables played around it. The colors were nicely placed m out side was a food line; drink line and dance floor with tents over them just in case it rained. Effie had put up small hanging lanterns for light.James smiles. " wow for your sister not being able to plan. This is awesome. "He says." Will definitely have to thank her.Now come my love what is it you wish to do first. Sit, eat; dance, hold your son, or just stand here in my arms."James says holding her and Maxi close.


Effie walked back with Clay once out of sight she pulled Clay to her and crushed her lips on his. She held her daughter with one arm so she wouldn't be crushed by there embrace. Effie pulled back and looked at him"I really do you to death"Effie said. Adelaide made her jump when squeaked loudly. She laughed. "Are you not the center of attention princess? Sorry baby girl "She asked laughing.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice smiled and just stood there in James's arms. It was nice to have him close, they were finally married! Justice turned around and kissed James on the lips as she pulled Maxi's fist from his mouth without looking, keeping her focus on James. "I love you." She smiled against his lips and kissed him again. Maxi squeaked, wanting to get attention and gave his mother a toothless grin when she looked down at him. "Hey handsome." Justice smiled and cooed over her baby boy. "Aren't you the cutest thing in that suit of yours." She smiled and adjusted the tiny bow tie. She turned to James and smiled at him adjusting his tie as well. "I thought you never wanted to wear a monkey suit again." She teased and gave him a peck on the lips.


Clay smiled when Effie kissed him, he wanted her so bad right now, but he knew that he would need to wait until after the wedding and once the baby was asleep. Adelaide wanted attention and he laughed when Effie gave it to her. The little girl was getting spoiled! Clay laughed at his beautiful wife and was about to lead his small family away, but then he saw a face among the guest. "Hey, darlin? Did you invite your mother?"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James smiles and pulls her clise."As I love you my queen."He winks at her and kissed her gently. James laughs at Maxi."come here buddy."he picked up his son and kissed him."good boy."James says. He looked at his wife."meh stupi monkey suit is just for today and look I match my little boy so its kinda cool and feel all James bond. Though I am also the luckiest man in the world ti marry a girl of your caliber. "He said and pulled her close."my family and I am very happy about it."James says.


Effie laughed as her daughter squeaked and pulled on her necklace. "No no pumpkin not mommies necklace you little bugger you."Effie says and she went to move when he said something about her mother. Her brow furrowed "what? No not after my wedding especially on Justice's day.Go warn them now."Effie says. She walked for her mother how the hell did that woman have means to travel out here again.Effie walked over to her mother and her boyfriend. "What in the hell are you doing here. You weren't invited how did you get past the guards."Effie said and pulled Adelaide closer to her protectively.she saw her mom eye her child and Effies grip became a bit more firm on her daughter. This woman would never touch her child ever.Adelaide was fussing, and Effie bounced her handing her a pacifier.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice smiled and leaned into James. "I think I'm the luckiest here." She said. "I just married the famous guitarist. I am going to get so much hate male from your beloved fans." She teased and gave him a peck on the lips. "Plus, I gave birth to the most handsome little baby in the world." She smiled and kissed Maxi on the head. She looked at the baby and frown. "Max, I swear, don't eat your fist. My God, you're really are your daddy's son."


Clay nodded to Effie and left to warn Justice and James. He didn't know why his, unfortunately, mother-in-law was at the wedding, but he knew that he didn't like it. He walked up behind James and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Justice's and your now lovely mother-in-law is here with her boyfriend." He mumbled to the guitarist, Clay didn't want Justice to freak out, knowing how touchy the subject was to her. "Keep and eye on Justice and baby… Wow Justice, you really outdid yourself." He spoke up and smiled at his now sister in law. She looked really beautiful in her dress, almost as pretty as Effie had looked.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James heard Clay mumble to him he nodded and smiled at Clays comment."wow don't you got your own wife bro."He joked with Clay. He smiled come on lets go sit down with our son.who likes to eat his hand l."He laughed and pulled it out. When Maxi cryed. He sighed. "No baby no fist its okay. Look mommy is right here and daddy. "James said as he held into his fussing son. Who rubbed at his eye's and burried his face into James.James held him laughing."aww good boy.and hate mail maybe, but you wear the ring. The golden ticket to my heart always. "He said and sat close to her abd pulled her into him.He kwpt one eye out for the mother. He go to jail for assault before he let anyone near his wife or child that was a threat.


Effie held the pacifier in her daughter's mouth. She knew her princess was hungry. Her mother looked at her hottily."well if it isn't my eldest child who got married and had a kid what didn't enjoy life with out a brat, I bet that isn't even your husband's baby. I got in because this is my daughter's wedding my real daughter. She stayed longer then you ever did the she whored herself out just like you."She raised a hand and slapped Effie. Effie hadn't been hit in ages. So it came as a shock. She moved back slightly. Then came back."get out now, you don't belong here, you ever lay a finger on me again or come near ny family, this includes justice. I will sue you and leave you in a jail cell."Effie snapped. She was pissed. Her daughter had popped the pacifier out and was screaming. Effie sighed and bounced her."Shh pumpkin its okay."Effie said.She held her daughter close still not bugging out of her mother's and her mother's boyfriends way. He raised a hand to her."how dare you speak to your mother like that. She did nothing but love and raised you right."He said and went to hit her.Effie cringed and protected her child over her self. she saw a hand come up and grab his.It was Mac."touch my client again and will be having words through bars.Now leave your not welcome. "He said. Effie sighed in relief at Mac."thank you Mac."

[KneelingAngel]

Justice blushed, but giggled none the less as James pulled her closer. He was so cliche sometimes. She was about to thank Clay for the compliment when she heard Adelaide screaming. Justice frowned, she had never heard that cry before. She pushed herself off of James and headed towards the sound. I'll be right back." She called over her shoulder before picking up her dress and running on her heels. "Hey Effie, what's going… On…?" She stopped when she saw her mother and her boyfriend. Justice froze. She couldn't run, she couldn't move, she just stood there, looking at the people that had abused her and her sister with the baby.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie pulled her sister behind her."please take Adelaide and go back inside Justice. "Effie says. James heard the scream as well. "Oh hell no. He ran after Justice and stopped at her side he stepped infront of her and Maxi."what the hell is this bitch doing here."He snapped.


There mother beamed seeing Justice. "Oh my little girl all grown up. Come give mother a hug and bring that cute little boy over here. Mama wants to hold him."She said with a wicked grin.James shook his head." No way Lady. Touch ny wife or Kid and I swear it will be the last thing you do."He said

[KneelingAngel]

Clay walked after James and took Adelaide and stepped I front of Effie. He notice a red mark on her cheek. He frowned furiously and lifted Effie's chin to have a better look. An angry fire lid up in his eyes and he bare his teeth at the mother. He was going to break the woman's neck for touching his wife.


Justice couldn't tell the difference between her mother's real smile and wicked smile, having never seen anything but the evil one. For her it was a gift for her mother to smile at her. Justice stepped up from behind James, and as if in some sort of trans Justice carefully walked to her mother and gave her a hug, it was all she had ever wanted from her mother. She wanted her mother to be proud of her, somehow that part had always been hidden in the corner of her mind.


She was still a little girl that wanted her mother's approval. Justice wanted her mother to love her, she always had. It was a curse, but Justice didn't know.

Effie held on to her cheek stung and she hid slightly behind her husband. She just wanted her mother to go away. She was tired of her and hated her so much.Effie never really hid from her mother till now.


James watched almost as if in disgust. The mother smiles and hugs her. She pulled her arms length away and smacked her hard across the cheek "you left all this to be some who're to a gutter rat."She says and yelled at Justice. James handed maxi to Effie. He grabbed Justice from her mother and held her so he didn't go to jail for hitting this woman."Mac get her out of he growled."mac had called security. They dragged her out kicking and screaming"your both dead to me you little whores. You will come crawling back to me like the cowards you are."She yelled. James held on to Justice tightly m he just held her in a warm embrace.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice froze as she was hit across the cheek. With her head turned and eyes casted to the ground she listened to her mother's words… They hurt, it felt like her heart was stabbed and torn into tiny pieces. Her world almost crashed around her. Justice couldn't look up as her mother was dragged away, but tears appeared in her eyes when her mother shouted that she was dead to her. Justice's started shaking and she bit her lip as a sob escaped her. She tried to speak, but her mouth only opened with no words. Her knees suddenly gave in and she dropped to the ground, crying into her arm as she leaned over the floor.


Why? Why wasn't she good enough for her mother? Why wasn't she good enough after all she had achieved?
