Sloper Wedding!
She'd gone from hyperventilating in a brown paper bag as her sister rubbed her back to feeling like she could fly. Without a broomstick, of course. Brianna clung to Zach's arm as she watched their friends begin to jump onto the dance floor of their seemingly spur of the moment wedding. She had felt awful about not being able to share all the excitement, but knowing that there weren't going to be any photographers jumping out of bushes, and that their wedding photos were going to be their wedding photos was absolutely worth all the stress she'd endured.

"I'm glad you showed," Brianna said teasingly, leaning into Zach's side. What a fit that would have been had if he hadn't figured out that the wedding was in June and not July. Brianna's logical side was sure that she would have said something before the day, but her frantic, sometimes uncontrollable side still wanted to knock his head off for putting that fear into her head. What a boyfriend, she had.

What a husband, she had!

The thought made her smile though and she kissed Zach on the cheek, taking in a deep and happy breath of excitement.

Oh. Maybe she hadn't been caught. Bianca straightened her shoulders and moved to straighten Bertram's tie. He looked very handsome all dolled up, and his almost sour expression reminded her why she had been so excited about coming tonight. They had earned some time for themselves, and here she was ready to go home and cling to her newborn.

Not that it was a terrible thing to do, of course, but. Her boyfriend deserved some attention, too.

"I was going to check in on Aaron," she admitted, instead of dismissing the topic completely. Her eyes stayed locked on his tie, however, feeling somewhat embarrassed that she hadn't made it very far into the night without her newly instated maternal instincts taking over. "Almost feel guilty about leaving him, and Amissa too, is that ridiculous?"

Bianca often felt like she knew all the answers, but when it came to children and babies, she was completely clueless and would always turn to Bertram for his expert advice. And she'd trust his words, too, because he'd done it on his own for so long that he knew better than most how to deal with...well, everything that came with being a parent.

Well, she'd been caught now. Bertram arched his brow at her, thinking. The first time he'd become a father he'd been forced to be separated from his daughter because he'd have to give Amissa to his mother to take care of during the school year. He'd even had to keep her a secret, so he supposed that he was used to the idea of being away from their children.

"It's not ridiculous," he started, "I'm just a little used to it, that's all. You have to start trusting them to be away from you. They're not going to forget about you, either -- especially Aaron. If something was really wrong, mum would've flooed by now." He grinned, giving Bianca's hand a squeeze. "So don't worry about it. How about we get you some shrimp or something?"

He was right, or at least she figured he was right. His mother would definitely have contacted them by now if something was wrong...but what if something had happened to her and Aaron was completely on his own right now and needed help? Bianca forced the crazy thoughts away before she agreed to go get some food with Bertram, hoping that taking in the night would help keep her mind off things.

Except it was a wedding. With a happy couple who loved each other very much, and their darling little baby boy. Bianca had felt a great surge of femininity after she gave birth to Aaron, so everything about tonight was so beautiful and lovely, and it just reminded her that she had her own bundle of joy back home and that she loved Bertram and then a whole big circle of emotions started and---

She really, really needed to stop thinking so much. Bianca allowed Bertram to lead her to the shrimp and other delectable food, and let out a whistle of approval,

"We'll have to get the name of their caterers." Because to make a display of shrimp look like a work of art meant that the chefs behind it were out of this world.

"I can definitely ask Brianna. I'd ask Zach, but I'm sure that he doesn't have any idea who he hired for it." In fact, up until recently he'd been told that the wedding was next month ... so there had been rushed stag parties abound. He was glad to hear that Bianca was taking him at face value; she'd been doing that a lot more lately. It was refreshing to have her take him seriously. He was the supposed 'more experienced' out of the two of them, or that was the way that Bianca seemed to see it - which was more or less the opposite of the majority of other situations.

He picked up a few shrimp from the masterpiece and then looked around. "Do you want to have a drink? It might relax you a little." Or at least put her in a better mood. He'd have to refrain from drinking himself, but he'd promised Brianna that he wouldn't have a drop so that he didn't end up streaking through the party naked.

You did something once and people assumed it would happen at every wedding. Pah.

She hadn't had a drink in ages and gladly accepted Bertram's offer of one. What could one hurt, really? Or two, and a third would really not be a problem, Bianca could absolutely handle her alcohol, but whatever they were serving certainly packed a wallop.

Her shoes had been taken off about four drinks ago, but Bianca couldn't recall where they were. Bertram had to excuse himself for some best man duties and pictures, and it just seemed that every time Bianca ran into someone she had not spoken to for a while, they offered her a drink to toast, took a picture, drank the drink. What a cycle, what a party! Really, if the room would stop shifting to the right every so often then they'd all be set.

"BERTRAM, we need to dance!" Bianca let out, grabbing her boyfriend's hand and pulling him away from some bird in a big white dress. Wait! That was the bride, and Bianca made a quick turn back to hug Brianna quickly and tightly and squeal about how excited she was about everything before she went back to tugging Bertram to the dance floor. Her arms swung sloppily around him and Bianca wondered why her knees were wobbling.

"You're so cute," she purred.

Bertram had to admit that when he'd ducked away from Bianca for some best-manly tasks, he hadn't expected to come back to a girlfriend that was completely smashed. At least she wasn't thinking about the children any more, and she did seem to be having fun (even if he was pretty sure she would be regretting this in the morning).

He laughed, giving a helpless shrug to Brianna before letting Bianca drag him away. He put his hands firmly on her hips so that she wouldn't a) fall down or b) wiggle away from him. "Ah, you finally figured that out, did you? I knew that eventually you'd fall for my dashing good looks."

Bertram closed his eyes for a moment, attempting to remember whatever levitation spell he'd been forced into learning in his years at Hogwarts. If he had to carry Bianca home, it would certainly be easier with the aid of a few spells.

"Finally?" she let out in a much louder, shriller voice than usual, "Did I not just give birth to your son? Hmm?"

Bianca smiled though, moving her shoulders and hips back and forth in an exaggerated slow dance, even though the music was quite fast paced. She just liked looking pretty with Bertram, being out with Bertram, just being with Bertram, and it was nice to be in love with someone. Even though that someone had never told her that he loved her, of course, but Bianca could feel it. She knew that Bertram loved her, it would just be nice to hear it once in a while. Or even once.

She scrunched her nose and pulled herself closer, letting out a great breath,

"And if I fell first over your good looks, do you think it would've taken us---" Her eyes rolled to the ceiling to count the months she'd kept him out of her knickers, "--five months to shag?" She looked astounded at this idea, and dropped her gaze back to Bertram, "Why the hell did you stick around if you weren't getting shagged?"

Honestly, he'd had difficulty answering that question to himself for quite some time.

He smirked, letting Bianca move as she pleased. "I had a hard time with that one for a while. I think it's because you actually treated me like an adult and believed me when I said I was sorry about things."

That had been the main problem with Franzy, hadn't it? They'd both been a little too young to do anything serious, and he'd had a hard time understanding her. Bianca was much simpler ... not in a way that made her stupid, but in a way that was much more logical to Bertram.

"Besides, I was sure that if I tried to leave you would stun and hex me," he teased.
