Janet ran about underworld. Her hair was wrapped in fabric and her face was beautifully made.
Underworld was practically empty. Many already at the place she should be. Running into Tulips shop she grabbed the box that held her dress. She still hadn't seen it yet. She thundered up the stairs and gave a small smirk to the doors of the Ninth Circle.
"Got it !" she shouted to carol.
The ghoul ran at her and began opening the box.
"Never worn before smoothskin. Quinn found it in a pre war shop. The damage caused by the bombs had actually protected it ! How lucky !"
Janet gasped and she pulled out the creamy fabric. There was a bodice with a ribbon tied at the back in a corset style and the rest of the dress flowed down freely. It was so simple it was beautiful.
"I love it !" she sighed face covered in awe "will it fit ?"
"We will make it fit !"
Janet ran down the steel corridors as quick as she could. She was half an hour late.
Her dress flew out behind her and her knee clanked against her gun holster under the dress, always the practical bride.
Well it was tradition. At least she knew that she would be the last to arrive. Butch stood at the door leading to the flight deck.
He smirked and crossed his arms.
"You're late !" he called
"Everyone else is early !" she shouted still running towards him.
He grabbed onto her when she stopped suddenly and began fixing her hair.
"Should have got me to do it."
"Shut up." She smirked and held onto his arm as it went to fix her curls.
"Butch." She whispered "I'm about to get married..."
"Not with this hair your not. Did you run the whole way ?"
She gave an exhausted laugh and squeezed his arm. Janet appreciated his humour and right now it was needed to calm her nerves.
She took a deep breath and put her arm through Butch's.
"How do I look ?" she asked breathlessly.
"Beautiful."
She waited for some insult or childish nickname. None came and her eyes began to water.
"Hey ! Hey don't cry yet. Not now you'll ruin your face."
"I'm going to be a mess oh my god."
She jumped a few times and waved her hands by her face giving a big breath out.
"You're fine ! You're fine ! Come on !"
He held out his arm and she took it with a grin.
"Ready Butch man ?"
"You've grown up so fast" he mocked.
Butch chapped on the wall and the door opened. Janet could only gasp. The flight deck was crowded but yet organised, there was so many people there.
"So many people." She whispered.
"You two have affected many lives apparently." Butch whispered back and began to walk forward with her.
The flight desk was covered in fairy lights, just like Lamplight. She hoped they didn't clear their home for them.
"You did this ?" she quietly gasped.
"Pssh of course."
He hushed her as they turned the corner the crowd formed.
Charon stood standing waiting with a grin. Butch led her forward and she heard murmurs from the crowd including a loud awwww, Moira.
Gob stood at one side of Charon and Nova stood at the other holding Alex. Nova smiled through watery eyes. Janet shook her head in a if you cry I'll cry motion and had to look away. She caught Gobs eye and he gave her a reassuring wink.
Eventually she reached the end and Charon took her hand when Butch let go of her other one.
"Hi." She whispered with a smile.
Charon smirked "You're late."
"So I've been told."
Alex squirmed in Novas arms reaching for his parents with a howl. Janet looked to Charon, who nodded, and she picked her son up. They held him in between them and Janet gave him a kiss on the head.
"Always the centre of attention." Janet murmered into his soft set of hair.
"Just like his mother."
Janet snorted a laugh but gained composure when Diego who stood in front of them began to talk to the large crowd.
The ceremony was simple and beautiful and when Janet said "I do" with her face filled with tears of happiness Charon could only grin.
