“Beige?” Dante said, suddenly growing serious. “Beige? We’re not have beige. Since when is anything beige? Computer, override this door Authorization Dante Omega Ambrosia.”
The doors slid open, and he stepped through and looked at her lying on the bed. Here he paused, and raised an eyebrow at her. “Beige? No, Natasha. No beige.” Crossing his arms, he made no move to help her up. This stops now, we are getting married and there is no Beige.”
He stepped forward and took her hands, gently pulling her up towards him. “Thar she blows, thar she blows, a hump like a snow-hill, its Moby Daye!” He repeated the lines from the ancient tale gently, pulling her into him.
“You are lucky you are so cute and funny,” she said softly looking into his eyes. “God I love you,” Natasha forgot all the wedding drama for the moment and focused on the one thing that made sense in her life: Dante Knight. The man had stood beside her through heartbreak, happiness, fear, excitement, and just about anything the universe threw at them. He was her one constant in a world of uncertainty.
“Yes, Natasha, you are the size of a whale, but you’re my whale and in that beautiful huge belly is our baby, our family.” He entwined his fingers between hers, turned her around so her back was to him and slid their joined arms and hands around her, pressing his front into her back and holding her close. “You are more beautiful to me right at this moment than you have ever been Tasia, and all of our friends are going to see how much I love you, and how much you mean to me every second you walk down that aisle. You’re going to be my wife, and we are having our family. But no Beige.”

“All right but I swear if you let them play the jaws theme when I get near food I will shoot the musicians. The fact I am always ravenous does not need a theme song to punctuate my condition,” she teased him. It was then she slapped a hand over his eyes. “Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god,” she said over and over not moving.
“What now?” Dante asked her. By the sound of her voice, he could tell she had a new crazy to focus her energy on for the moment. He did think however that playing the Jaws theme would of been hilarious, if only because of the old joke about the threat of marriage to a guy and not so much her voracious appetite for certain things at the moment. While that thought ran through his head, he tilted left and right trying to find an opening for him to peek through, but Natasha made sure her hand was over his eyes completely and firmly.
“You did not see me in my dress did you,” she asked almost in a panic. Dante had years of experience knowing about her superstitions and since she was Russian it was like this facet of her personality was on overdrive. “You know if you say yes then I have to go get another one because it would be bad luck so be honest but know that I will allow my crazy to take over and force me to find a new one .” Dante and Natasha never lied to each other…when it was important but there were the times she knew he lied to further an agenda or ease her insanity. She prayed their all their years together, Dante would know which answer to give.

“Tasia, stop. Of course I saw you in your dress, you were lying on the bed and I helped you get up so, we get you a new one when we get to the Outpost. You can put it on my account,” Like everything else was the thought in his head, “and not only that, but Kelz will be there to shop with you. You need to get her a Bridesmaids dress anyway so the two of you can make a day of it, shopping, synthaffeine, lunch, stealing other people’s shopping trolleys. You deserve a day out with everything that’s happened, and for the record, you look amazing. But its third time a charm, we can go for a new wedding dress.” He reached up and pulled her hand down from his eyes, and smiled at her gently. “We got this okay. This time it’s right, it’s our time.” Threading his fingers between hers, he kissed her fingers and placed her hand on his chest over his heart.
“Baby, before we carry on, you need to sign these,” he picked up the PaDD from the bed where he dropped it when he helped her up. “It’s only a few things for the wedding that need your signature, catering, room bookings and transport. I’ve sorted out everything, trust me and Kelz is going over it on her end as well, I just need your signatures on these, no need to read through them pumpkin.” Flicking on the PaDD to the first file, it was a list of foods for the reception sorted by species and type. Extremely boring, it clearly had already been arranged by Dante and room for her signature was at the bottom. “Just a few, here, here here, over here, and here.”
