A small wedding reception was held at the private residence of Violet’s parents just off the Kensington High Street.

The main hall was showered with vibrant bouquets of violets and lilacs and everyone was mingling and chatting the evening away.

There was some dancing as well: Clift Garrett danced with his sister, Miss Vivienne Garrett and Violet’s mother, Lady Madhuri Parr. When he approached Violet for a dance, she politely declined and asked him for a word.

When they were alone, Violet spoke softly but firmly. “Mr. Garrett, Miss Brewer is sitting all alone with only Mr. Masters comforting her. She is putting a very strong face for the sake of my friendship and your love by coming to both our wedding ceremony and reception. The least you can do is afford her a few minutes and comfort her at this time instead of dancing with the guests.”

“But Violet, you told me it was important to keep up appearances throughout the wedding!” Clift was shocked at Violet’s sudden caring and concern about Makensie Brewer.

“I did.” Violet nodded. “I stand by it, but you must understand that ours is a marriage of expedience, whereas Makensie truly has feelings for you that run very deep.”

Clift nodded. “I understand… I shall go and speak to her at once.”

Violet smiled and then hugged Clift Garrett very tightly. “Thank you for doing this… It means the world to me that my self-respect before my dearest father and brothers was maintained.”

Clift bowed his head slightly. “I did nothing out of duty my dearest Miss Parr.”

With that, they both went back into the wedding reception with bright, dazzling smiles.

Clift walked up to where Mak and Ace sat on a plush sofa in the corner. They were both talking with drinks and two plates of canopies in their hands.

Ace got up as Clift approached, but Clift put a strong arm on his shoulder and made sit right back.

"Stay just where you are Ace, you are practically family now." He said.

"I am?" Ace wondered.

"Yes, after all, Vivienne and Scarlett are so close they're practically like sisters, which makes us the best of pals." Clift winked.

He sat with them then turned to Makensie. "You okay Mak?" he put his hand on hers.

"Yes, I fine Clift..." she smiled. "Congratulations on your wedding."

Clift smiled to her and she smiled back knowingly.

He then turned to Ace and spoke. "Violet and I need to go on our honeymoon. But it won't be a real honeymoon, it will be a long trip, just to keep up appearances, and we want you two to come along... After all, it would be pretty dull without Mak to brighten it up, and Ace's sweet presence along."

He then grabbed both Mak and Ace and pulled them to him in rough play.

While he was fooling around with the two he got a very serious glare from Violet to knock it off and continue to keep appearances at the wedding reception.

Makensie chuckles, then smiles at Violet, and winks. Keeping him in line already, she thinks. Violet grins, as if to know exactly what she was thinking.

Ace says, straightening his jacket, "Us...go on the honeymoon WITH you two? Now that is different"

Clift looks at Makensie, then back at Ace, and says, "Well, we've all been together about everywhere, it would be weird not having you two around"

"We accept....well, I do, anyway, accept the invitation. Besides, this will be good for all of us", Makensie said.

Ace nods, and says, "As she started to say, WE accept the invite, and look forward to us all enjoying your not-really-a-honeymoon"

Violet walks up, with her always dazzling smile, and says to Clift, "I take it that you invited Mak and Ace along with us?"

Nodding, as he looked at Makensie, he said, "I did"

"Splendid! This is going to be alot of fun! Besides, Makensie and I will have alot of catching up to do with one another, and shopping,of course"

Makensie grins, and says, "Definitely catching up , relaxation, and shopping"

Ace smiles, and says, "For us men....drinking, and goofing off" Clift said, "Here! Here!"

"Well, if you all will excuse me, I must go to the restroom. This water Ive been drinking, is going right through me", Makensie said, smiling.

They all nod, as Clift watches her walk away.

Ace watches Clift , then looks over at Makensie as well, as she makes her to the bathroom.

Walking into the restroom, she thinks about how wonderful Violet and Clift's wedding was, and the gorgeous reception, and how much she is looking forward to the little trip away. She has grown quite fond of their close little circle they have become, and is excited to spend a few days of peacefulness with them.

As she starts to walk to the bathroom stall, she gets dizzy, and quickly holds onto the sink, that was near -by. Looking at herself in the mirror, she thinks, Oh no...this cant be happening. She makes a metal note to call her doctor in the morning, to find out whats been wrong with her, and to hope her fear hasnt come true.

She takes water and splashes it on her face, goes restroom, washes her hands, then heads back out to her friends.

"There you are. Was beginning to wonder where you went", Ace said, as he lightly put his hand on her back.

Violet had went to talk to some family members, as Clift was standing beside Ace.

She smiled at Ace, then looked at CLift, as he was already looking at her.

He thinks, She looks so beautiful, and yet, something is different about her, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Ace pondered his new married friends. Ace liked Clift immensely, but Clift had his flaws. Apparently, one of them was a... well, shall we call it a self-control issue?

Violet... sort of... scared Ace a little. She was very, very, very nice, and very, very, very very, very polite. It sort of freaked him out. He had never been near such fine and royal like company, which made him a bit uncomfortable. But, knowing that Violet was in fact a very charming person helped.

He couldn't help but wonder what Violet's parents thought of this very... moral... wedding. However, Mak interrupted his thoughts.

"Ace?" She said, "Why are you just sitting here staring at the fireplace? You do realize there's no fire..."
"Oh, I was just off in daydreamland, I suppose."
"Oh, I do that." She sat down, "My favorit dream..."

They chatted a bit about daydreams and the like, until Clift danced with Mak. They had a lively conversation while they danced, but Ace didn't notice.

For, soon after they went out on the dance floor, Madhuri Parr, the bride's mother, approached Ace.

"Oh, hello." Ace said as she came near, "I'm To..." Ace paused, remembering who's company he was enjoying, "er... I'm Anthony Masters."
"Madhuri." She said coldly, "Madhuri Parr."
Ace kissed her hand. A cold look never left her face, as though if she showed any other emotion, she would commit a deadly sin.
"I admire your daughter quite a lot." Ace said mechanically.
"Yes, she has talked about you quite extensively..." She paused as she looked him over, "Not at all the man she described... Ace, I believe she called you?"
"Oh, that's my nickname." Ace explained, "All my friends call me that. You may too, if you wish."
"Thank you, Ace." She finally showed some inkling of a smile, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I musn't neglect the other guests."
"Yes, of course. Perhaps we could have a chat later."
"Yes, I believe I would like that." She then stepped away lightly, the cold look returning.

Ace finally took a breath, until he noticed some commotion on the dance floor. Mak appeared to be fussing quite a bit, screaming at the groom. Flustered, she stormed out the door of the hall and out onto the sidewalk.

Ace knew this must have been the grand finale. At least, he hoped. He followed her outside, and, between sobs, she explained what happened...

((Left wide open for any who'd like to take a stab! ;-) ))

Between sobs, she managed to get out....."and...and he said that I look different" Ace scrunched his face up, and says, "Look different? Well, why you crying?" He pulled her into a hug, feeling very confused.

She sniffs, wipes her face, and said, "I know what that means when men say that" He softly smiles, and says, "What?" She pulls back, and says, "I'm fat!!"

Ace chuckles, and says, "Fat? You're not fat, Mak!" Wiping her nose with her hand, as he hands her a tissue from his pocket, she said, "Well I FEEL fat....so that had to be it"

Makensie couldn't figure out why she was so emotional. She never acts like this.

Clift comes walking out, as Ace turns toward him.

"Mak...I....I"m sorry. Whats wrong?", Clift asked, with great concern.

Ace excused himself, more baffled than he ever was.

Suddenly feeling quite embarrassed, she said, "Oh it is nothing. I'm just emotional these days, I've been dizzy, not feeling well...I dont know what my problem is"

Clift thinks, I have an idea, but, says, "Have you gone to the doctor?"

"I'm making an appointment in the morning", she said.

They looked at each other, both coming to the same conclusion.

"I can't be. No. This can't be happening", she said.

Clift said, "It wouldn't be good timing...but, I wouldn't regret it,Mak"

Looking at him, tears welled up, and she fell into a round of sobs again.

He went to her, and put his arms around him, then said, "Can you tell me why you ran out crying?"

".....because u said I look different, and I know u meant fat", she said, crying.

He laughs affectionately, and says, "I didn't mean that, Mak. You are beautiful, and you're not fat! I meant that you have a slight glow about you, you just look different...in a good way"

She pulled back, and said, "This is totally rediculous. I've cried more now than I think I have my whole entire life"

He laughs, wipes a tear from her cheek, and says, "It's ok...that's what happens when you're.....you're...."

He said nothing more, and besides, he was just assuming what was wrong anyway.

She looked at him, and said, "Well..then, I guess you best get back to your lovely wife"

Nodding, he said, "I should, yes. Are you ok?" She smiles,saying, "Oh yes, Im fine"

"Let me know what the doc says, yes?", he said.

She nods, and says, "Ofcourse"

He smiles, and slowly walks back inside.

Ace comes back out, and says, "All better?"

She laughs, and says, "I'm sorry"

"Think nothing of it. Now come on back inside. There is a song playing we need to cut a rug too", he said, smiling.

They walked back inside, as Makensie thinks, What a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

** One Month Later **

Makensie could not believe that it actually took one whole month to plan and organise the "honeymoon" but she shrugged off that thought. After all, between The Sirens, DPI and Hunter's Academy there were many leave requests to be granted, and time off to be planned and given.

Violet and Mak both managed 15 working days off, whilst Clift and Ace got 20 each. They all met at the Harbour to Board a luxury cruise ship to New York.

The honeymoon was going to be spent between a luxury cruise and a New York City delight trip which would include a string of lively shows, entertainment, restaurants and other leisure activities.

Violet's brother Leopold, Clift's sister Vivienne and Ace's sister Scarlett would also join the gang when the ship disembarks at New York. It was to be a holiday of a lifetime for all included.


Makensie was wearing a knee length light green dress and had a large white hat on as she was boarding the ship. She felt somewhat dizzy on the way up where she was greeted by Violet.

"Why, Miss Brewer," Violet greeted her heartily and loudly. As they hugged Violet whispered into her ear, "You are starting to show by the way, Mak..."

Makensie suddenly blushed.

She had gone to the doctor in London and he confirmed her pregnancy to her around a month ago after she left Clift and Violet's wedding reception. She looked to her tummy and wondered: it was still flat.

Violet quickly said. "Not your stomach. But anyone who looks at you can tell." Miss Parr winked. "There a certain glow about you and your cheeks are rosier and you generally seem healthier as well."

Makensie shrugged. "Thank you for the compliments Violet. Are Clift and Ace here yet?"

"Not yet." Violet held Mak's hand and escorted her to a plush seating area on deck. "Did you tell Clift yet?"

"I didn't get the chance to, he had to travel to Shanghai to sort out the vacation from his agency... but he knows. I know he knows."

Violet nodded. "Yes, he knows, I know... even Ace knows I am sure. You still need to find the time to tell him and sort this out.”

“I know...” Mak looked to the sea before them.

“Makensie, I am serious. You must be two months along by now and I’m only about a month and a half ahead of you. This means we will probably give birth at around the same time. The three of us need to sit and have a chat and decide how this will be handled. After all, our children will be siblings... We also need to include Ace in the conversation.”

“Ace...?” Mak was surprised.

“Indeed.” Violet nodded. “He is a great friend to us all and is very impartial about all this. We need his common sense and input... besides...” She added. “We better start grooming him along with Clift for all the baby sitting we will require in the near future.”

Mak chuckled merrily at that and Violet nodded politely.
