Dani laughed. "And here I thought my students kept me busy. I have become like the advisor to my students. If they have a problem, they come to me. But I really don't mind." she said.

Dani blushed at Tammy's wink. She slipped up saying his name to her mum. Might as well say it. "Yeah. His name is Adam. He is also a teacher." she said still blushing.

Shaking her head, Dani watched Cammy. "I see that you are still my little clean freak. But what else have you been doing besides cleaning?" she asked.

He gasped at her and reached for one of he pillows on the bed and threw it at her. "I am so not!" But it didn't really matter, because he was amused anyway.

"Okay, we will dance. After I dance with Brody. And Tam." His daughter had to be second.

"I would have killed you if you had missed it." He headed over to her and wrapped her into a hug. He was so happy she had come. He would have been so sad if she had been away for his big day. She was his twin, and that made a special bond exist between them.

"How have you been since I last saw you?" Which hadn't been too long ago; he tried to see his sisters as much as he could.

Dani laughed at what he said. She had no doubt that he would do it to. "Sad part is, I believe you." she said when she hugged him back. He baby brother was getting married. She was so not going to cry.

"Well everything is going great. I have became like the advisor to the students. They picked me." she said as she stepped out of his hug. "And I am seeing someone." she said quietly while blushing.

Tammy laughed lightly, and ran her fingers through her curls. "Thats great Dani, I might just be coming to you myself ey?" She grinned at her, and quickly pulled her phone out to send a quick text to her cousin. "Sorry. Had to make sure Nattie landed safely in Mexico." She spologised quickly, and giggled.

"Adam ey? He nicee?"

Cammy shrugged a bit. "Not a clean freak. I just despise dirt. Dont be meeean Dani." Hmpfh. She was NOT a clean freak. Normal people had hand hoovers. Just there were no normal people in this room. Or in their family. Hehe. "Sleeping.. Homework. Visiting Torin alot. And helping Tammy with her sizings, a few times anyways." She shrugged.

"OH and eating chocolate..." She beamed at her big sister and giggled. "Adam? How long have you known him Dani? Is he your booooyfrieeenndd? How come I never knew about him? You never told meee." Pout.

Tammy ducked a bit out of the path of that dratted pillow. "NO throwing." She scolded him but nodded. "So arrrreee." Grin.

"WHY, on earth am I not first ey?..."

"JOKE."

Adrienne, after her brief look around the room, had practically forgotten half of the people who were in the room. Considering the only one who had said anything to her was Torin anyway, which she didn't blame anyone for. Little Tammy was too cute for anyone to notice her. Even though she had been curious about the other Tammy, what with her shoe line and everything. But that could wait, considering as far as she knew there wasn't any reason for her to run off after the wedding. And that caused a little internal grumbling, that she pushed back to the back of her mind. She wasn't going to let her annoyance at Phoebus ruin Torin and Brody's day.

But then she heard another voice address her, using Torin's nickname for her, and she glanced around before a smile came onto her face. Of course, Annie. She should have known. "Hey Annie," she greeted the younger girl in return, a tiny wave accompanying her words. "You look like you're doing good."

But then she turned back to Torin as he felt the need to point out the obvious. And she raised an eyebrow in feigned disapproval before grinning. "Don't rub it in. I seriously think you're the tallest person I've ever met, by the way." And she wasn't short. She was actually fairly average in height, even though she knew she was still pretty tiny, but dancing and stress over her little fashion business helped keep her that way. But she knew Torin liked teasing her about it, just like Riley did. She just took it from Torin better.

She laughed as he followed her explanation about her shoes with a simple nod. "We're all going to get you to be obsessed with shoes, one of these days, if you don't already qualify," she teased him, deciding to keep the tone light. Just in case he was more nervous than he was trying to let on. Besides, with her semi-regular correspondence with him, along with Brody and Tammy, he was pretty much doomed.

She reached out and poked him as he continued acting like Brody was the only reason Little Tammy looked as beautiful as she did. "You seriously need to stop underestimating yourself. Brody is amazing, true, but you're not a troll or anything." There was no way she was going to let him keep thinking he was unworthy of Brody, when Brody obviously thought he was very worthy.

"Don't forget Adrianne- I'm sure she's SO excited about the wedding," Chris said with a grin. His sister had been bugging him ever since he had told her he was thinking about proposing. That was when he knew that he was in trouble.

He chuckled as Alex snuck behind him. "Sounds like an excellent plan- where would you like to go?" he asked with a mischievous grin.

Chris smiled. "Well, I don't have any brothers- and I'm sure that Alex would agree that you would be perfect for the job," he said with a chuckle. "And my friends are going to be away for most of the planning," he added. He had been up in the air about his best man for awhile, but he and Alex had thought it best for Warren to receive the title.

"Me, on time? There's no problem there- its Alex you have to worry about!" he said with a laugh. "I roll out of bed looking like this, women always need a lot of time to prepare," he added with a wink. At least, that was his experience with both his sister and Alex. However, he was certainly able to appreciate Alex's work- as he was sure that Adrianne's boyfriend did.

As the man turned to him, Chris did his best to smile. "Sir, you have been in possession of your slippers the whole time," he said, just as the man realized the same thing. He raised his eyebrows at the man and glanced at the cane he held in his hand. The complete switch took Chris by surprise and it took him a second to reply. "I'm Chris Lennord," he said in reply.

He laughed and hugged her for a moment before letting go. "I'm so glad I don't have to kill you now." He smiled at her. He couldn't have done this without his sisters and mum. He didn't even care about their father not coming.

He was happy to hear what she told him about her job, but was hit with a bombshell before he could comment. "And when did this happen? My sister gets a boyfriend and doesn't tell me? How am I supposed to see if he's worthy now?"

Spoil sport.

"But I wanted to throw the pillow." He pouted at her. She wasn't supposed to have ducked. Silly best friend.

"Shush you. You are third. Be happy." He smiled at her, feeling a bit calmer suddenly. He wasn't sure why that was.

He burst into laughter. "I dunno about that one. Though I am tall." Why she seemed short to him. And he still would say that she was short even if she wore gigantic shoes.

Then he adopted a look of mock horror. "Never! And it's bad enough with Tammy making all these shoes for Brody and my daughter." Because she was already getting a pile of designer shoes, and she was only 4. "My child is only 4, and she already has so many pairs. She's gonna be just like you people." He shuddered but still smiled to show that he didn't mind it too much.

He poked her back. "I'm one step up from a Troll."

Elise's rather hard - at the moment only, that is - eyes flickered. She hadn't wanted to hurt her little Brody. But really, how could Brody have her own way with this? Hurt her mother.

"I love you, too," she said, finally. "... and I'm glad to be here, too, Brody. Just be happy." She ignored the apology. She didn't know how to respond to it -- and it couldn't set everything right.

Damien held his daughter closer. "No, Brody, you aren't," he said, softly. How could he convince her that her mother did not think she was a disappointment? It was such a titan's task.

"I understand, darling," he went on, quietly. Love wasn't something you could tackle, not really. It just ... happened. You didn't really have a control on your own heart, then. "I love you, and only want what's best for you. Will always want that, only -- and the same goes for your mother. She wants you happy, sweetie."

"My God!" Fyo grinned. "You're blushing, Queenie! You're actually blushing!" What was wrong, today? Brody was blushing, and Torin was nervous ... very weird, if you ask him.

"Um yeah, I do," he said. He stepped forward, greeted the two, rather regal-looking parents, and was relieved that neither gave him some sort of 'evil' eye. They seemed to ... rather be okay with him.

Then he glanced at his watch, and his eyes widened.

"I should be with Torin," he told Brody. "I'll get going now, Queenie. See you at the altar, mmkay? Good luck." He wrapped his arms around her once more, then made his way back to ze groom.

Staring at her mother she knew she had shocked her, and she smiled a little. She really didn't want to make her mother upset, but she wanted her mother to be proud of her too, and that had totally gone out of the window now.
"I am happy Mummy." But she wanted her mother to be happy too. She wanted to hug her, but she knew that wouldn't work. Her mother had never been the hugging type. She noticed how she had ignored her apology, and she was sort of glad, because she didn't really know what she'd been apologising for.


Brody sighed, as she hugged her father. She knew what he was doing, trying to make her feel better, it was kind of working, but she still knew that her mother did find her disappointing. She'd overlook it for now though, because she was sure her mother would get over it, well she hoped anyway.

"I know Daddy." Brody smiled, hugging him one last time, before pulling back so she could watch him. Oh how she really loved her father. "And I'm still going to be you're little girl. I'll always be you're little girl daddy." Because then she got spoilt all the while, and she rather liked getting spoilt. She also knew he father would rather like it if she remained a little girl, his little girl.


"I can blush Fyo!" Brody frowned, in a rather dismissive way, before grinning at him. "But this is the only time you'll see it happening." Because she didnt blush for just anyone, mainly Torin really.
She glanced at her parents as he spoke. No evils, that was good. But aww. Fyo had to go again. Nuuu. No fair!
"I'll see you later." She smiled, hugging him tightly, before he went. Oh she loved her best friend.

Adrienne couldn't help but laugh again when Torin tried to argue with her about her comment on his height. "Yes, you definitely are. And apparently all that height is preventing you from realizing I said I thought you were the tallest person I've met. Not the tallest person on the face of the earth or something." Besides, as far as she knew, giants way beat Torin in the height matter. And Torin was way more intelligent than giants anyway. When he wasn't spazzing over his own wedding.

Adopting an innocent face as Torin pretended horror at the idea of him developing a taste for fashion and shoes, she tried not to smile. He was so doomed, and it was so funny that he kept denying it. And she hadn't even started using her own techniques on anyone. "Awww, so Little Tammy's joining us in the shoe collectors' club? Points for us," she teased, unable to help herself. Maybe she'd have to help with that, once she got back home and all. It might distract her, depending on how Phoebus took the owl.

And she was back thinking about that. Slippery slope. So she was glad when Torin spoke again, seeing as it gave her something else to tease him about. Or convince him of his being wrong, as was the case. So she had to argue with him again, convince him of his worth. Eventually he'd have to listen to someone. "Torin, you're ten million steps up from a troll. Both appearance-wise and intelligence-wise. And probably in some other ways that I'm choosing not to go into right now." Or ever, really. And something told her this was getting into a conversation a pretend sister shouldn't be having with her pretend brother. But at least it was talking.

He smirked at her. Really. Was she insulting his intelligence or something? Because if he hadn't known her better, he would have almost thought that she had been. "I know that, Ad. I just can't believe I'm the tallest person you know. But yes, giants have got me beat." He gave her a friendly smile now. It was all good fun with her and he was having a nice time.

"You think it's good now, but I'm the one that will have to suffer forever and ever." He pouted. But really he was joking more than anything. And he liked to see her dressed up in pretty shoes and clothes. Him and Bordy loved spoiling her.

He was a bit confused at her last comment though. "What other ways?" He raised his brow at her, not sure if it had been a good idea to have even asked. Oh well.

And here was his best man again! Happily, he grabbed Fyo in a much needed and majorly delayed hug.

He really needed a Fyorin!hug badly.

"How's Brody doing?"

Alex shook her head, "I couldn't forget about her, she will be there as well." She said with a smile. Other than her and Lucille and Ava, she really couldn't think about anyone else she wanted up there with her. Her mother would have been nice.. but.. She was still thinking of sending her mother and her father an invitation.. but who knew if they would come. She sighed a bit.. Things still hadn't changed with her parents..

Alex giggled a bit as Chris spoke, "Down the beach, I think I see a cave.. If we apparate, I am sure no one will see us." She said with a grin, she wanted to get away from the scary old man and her brother.. just for a bit.

Chris smiled. He knew his sister and Alex would have a blast getting ready for the wedding- and it was best if he just stayed out of the way. Chris looked over at Alex and saw her eyes deaden slightly- a look that indicated she was thinking about her parents. "Hey," he said quietly and pulled her into his arms. "It will work out- and you have my parents to worry about," he said with a wink. Alex had already met his parents, and they loved her to death.

Chris glanced down the beach and saw the spot she was indicating. With a grin, and no further comment, he raised his wand and apparated them both down into the cave. He peeked out between the rocks and grinned as he saw the old man turn to Warren. "We're going to hear about that later," he said with a chuckle. Turning to Alex, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "Now, where were we?" he asked, leaning down to kiss her softly.

Alex looked up at Chris as he pulled her into his arms. She smiled a bit as he spoke, "How did you know I was thinking about my parents?" She asked him as she lay her head on his chest. "Were you reading my mind again?" She asked softly, he did that alot. Sometimes it was almost as if he knew what she was thinking, better than she did. "I know it will work out, and yes you Parents are adorable." Alex grinned, she loved Chris's parents, and for the first time she felt.. almost like she belonged there. Well she belonged in her own family and she knew all of her brothers loved her, but she had wanted parents who did.. and Chris's parents did.

She grinned as she watched Chris get out his wand, and the next thing she knew they were in the cave together. "Yes we probably are, but they did interupt us in the first place." She said with a little grin as she too looked out.
"Mmm.. right about here." She said as she kissed him back gently.

Warren smiled, he was in such a great mood and now he was in a better one. ''Mate, id be honoured!'' he loved having the best man role.. it made him feel more loved and special. He didn't know what much to say apart from THANKS! ''Ahh thats true.. i might have to drag her out of bed really early!!'' he chuckled, she was sure to love that.

Max looked down at his slippers, he was still certain they wasn't there all the time. ''I dont remember coming out here in my slippers...'' he was looking more confused.. He was also rubbish with names.. ''Chris Leopard? Well hello there Mr Leopard.'' he slowly took out an old fragile hand to shake the mans hand.. ''What are you to my Grandson Torin then?'' he hadn't seen him before..

Chris grinned at Warren's reaction. "Well, I'm glad then," he said with a nod. He grinned as Warren's smile widened as he got used to the thought. Their wedding was going to have plenty of family there, that was for sure. He had to laugh as Warren mentioned dragging Alex out of bed. "Careful about how early- she might curse you," he said with a wink. "However, I'm sure Adrianne will be able to take care of her- she's good like that, and is quite able to dodge curses!" he continued, laughing.

Chris looked down as the man spoke to him again. "Lennord- no p," he told the man with a slight grin. Chris gently grasped the old man's hand and shook it. "Pleasure," he said with a nod. "I am actually this lovely lady's guest- she is a friend of Torin's and many other people here," he said. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we must go," Chris said before he apparated away with Alex.

Chris smiled as she asked how he knew. "You wish me to reveal all of my secrets? Before we're married?" he asked with a grin. "Call it a lucky guess..." he said. He didn't want to say that her eyes deadened when she thought about them- because then she would try to hide it from him. Just let her think he was a mind-reader and they would get along fine. "Well, your mind is such a pleasant place to be- I couldn't help it," he said with a soft laugh.

"That they did," he said with a grin as he pulled them both back inside the cave. "I like here," he replied, and gently pulled her closer to his chest. As he gently pulled away from their kiss, he looked out toward the waves. "You know, these waves remind me of thunder," he said with a grin as he leaned his forehead on her own.

Phoebe raised an eyebrow when her daughter said something about Adam. Was she suppose to know this Adam? She might be 50 something years old and her hair might be turning gray, but she wouldn't have forgotten if her daughter told her if she was seeing someone. "Who's Adam?" She asked. Danika wouldn't keep it from her family that she was dating someone, would she?

She looked down at Tammy when the little girl began to pull on her pant leg. "Okay, I'm coming down there," she replied as she kneeled down beside her granddaughter. She was definitely going to have a hard time getting back up.

Reese turned her attention away from Emiliano when no other than Karma walked up. "Karma! Wow, you look great," she complemented her friend. She gave the woman a hug and smiled. "I've missed you as well," she replied. "I was just talking to Em about how Jack and I should come over and have dinner with you guys."

"I've been good," she answered Karma's next question. "How how have you been? And, I'm about 3 1/2 to 4 months...I think." She couldn't remember that exact number, but it was definitely around there. "And, this must be Katie," she grinned as she looked at the little girl in Karma's arms.

Alex laughed a little as Chris spoke. "No, I guess you don't have to reveal your secrets, at least not now. After we get married though, I demand a full explanation." she said faking being serious. "Okay, Mr. Lucky guess, what am I thinking of now?" She asked him playfully, as she wondered why her stomach had been bothering her the past few mornings. "Ahh yes well, it is nice in there." She said with a grin, agreeing with him.

Alex smiled softly as Chris spoke, "I like here too." She responded as she nuzzled into his chest. "They do sorta." She said smiling a bit. Ahh thunder, she closed her eyes, remembering a time when she would have been terrified of the sound, but not now..

Chris laughed and shook his head. "We shall see... but, then that would mean there would be very few surprises- and I like surprising you," he told her with a grin. As she asked what she was thinking, he took a small step back and looked at her. "Hold on, I have to get into my mojo..." he said, raising his hands so that they were on either side of his head. However, instead of reading her mind (which he was incapable of doing) he studied her eyes and her hands, watching as one seemed to subconscious flit toward her stomach. "Either what's at the buffet... which is totally what's on my mind right now," he said with a grin to her. "Or... you're thinking about why your stomach has been hurting," he said, his smile fading slightly. A thought flitted through his mind- but he pushed it away.

He chuckled as she nuzzled against him. "We don't have to leave... although I think Warren might come after us if we don't show face at the wedding," he said with a laugh. "Especially after we left him with that elderly gentleman..." he said, glancing over his shoulder toward the beach again.

Tammy grinned as her grandma came down so that Tammy was her height. Well, still a little shorter. "I have a magic trick." She was so proud of herself.

She palmed the galleon in her hand as best as a 4 year old could, and placed it behind her granny's ear.

She quickly moved the galleon so that it was sticking out from her hand and took it away from her ear.

"Look, granny!" She showed her the coin.

Alex giggled a bit as he spoke, "Yes, I do know you like surprising me, but.." She grinned as she watched him "pretend" to read her mind. She looked at him, one eyebrow arched as she waited. "Well, handsome fiance of mine? Any ideas?" She asked him smiling, her hands unconsciously moving around her stomach. Her mouth dropped open as he spoke and it was exactly what she had been thinking, about the stomach pain, not the buffet. "Wow, I was thinking about the stomach pain.. That is amazing Chrissy." She said with a grin as she used his nickname that he hated.. She frowned a bit as a thought entered her mind.. She couldn't be.. Nooo..

"Well, we can go to the wedding once it's starts of course." She said still nuzzling his chest "Ahh Warren will get over it." She said with a grin as she watched Chris look over his shoulder. "I hope he gets hit with that cane." She said with a soft giggle.

"Magic?" That was the only thing Phoebe said before Tammy put her hand behind her and then...A GALLEON APPEARED?! The woman blinked a few times as she examined the Galleon the little girl was holding in her hand. "I have money in my ear," she stated. "Interesting." Very interesting.

He laughed as she prodded. "You can't rush skill, my darling," he said, moving his fingers where they hovered around his head. He raised one eyebrow, and then the next, hoping to make her laugh. He was about to comment when she called him Chrissy. He narrowed his eyes, the smile completely gone from his lips. "Oh no, you're not bringing that name into the mix- not after we just got your brothers off of calling me that," he said, his eyes flashing dangerously. "And there were a few curses involved in that persuasion too..." he added with a hint of an evil grin. The numb tongue one that he had used on Warren at their first meeting was his favorite- but a few other curses were mixed in as well.

However, at her frown, he raised an eyebrow. Could she be thinking along the same thoughts he was? It was possible- they were engaged to be married after all. But... wouldn't they have known?

He laughed as she mentioned Warren getting over it. "Yes, he will... but the question is, how long will it take him to do so? I do not want any pranks the night before the wedding," he said, raising an eyebrow at her. "And you know Warren..." He laughed at her next comment, and shook his head. "If he does, we'll pay for it," he said with a grin.

Alex smirked a bit, as Chris spoke. "Yes, I know.. but can we hurry the skill up a bit?" She teased him quietly as he raised an eyebrow. She giggled more, she knew he was playing this up, but he was just too funny at it. Her eyes widened a bit as he looked fully serious. Oops.. She had just meant to tease him. She had forgotten how much he hated that name. "I am sorry, I promise I won't mention it again!" She said holding up one hand. "Cross my heart!" She made a crossing motion over her heart. "Yes I know, I helped with that." She pointed out. "Surely you wouldn't curse your fiance would you?" She asked him with a grin.

She noticed he raised an eyebrow at her and she paused and looked at him, were they thinking the same thing.. That she was.. pregnant?

She laughed a bit, pushing that scary thought from her mind. "Hmm, good point, well I hope he will get over it soon, and not drag it out. He wouldn't ruin our wedding, he knows I will hurt him if he does that." She said with a soft grin in his direction.

Tammy giggled. Granny was so silly sometimes. "Uncle Miles taught me the trick. And I can't tell anyone." She felt so special that she knew. She wasn't gonna tell anyone. Not even daddy.

"I wanna show mummy." But her mummy wasn't here. She wanted to be back with mummy now.
