PG-13

Also I don't claim to owning the movie this is based
slightly on.

If I know what love is,
It is because of you.
		-Herman Hesse 

Marriage resembles a pair of shears,
So joined that they cannot be separated; 
Often moving in opposite directions, 
Yet always punishing anyone who comes between them!
		-Sydney Smith

I will hate the man you marry,
Because he is not me,
And love him if he makes you smile.
		-The Eye of the World, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time 
								Series

I would rather have had one breath of her hair,  
one kiss of her mouth and one touch of her hand 
than eternity without it. 
		-City of Angels  

There are many things in life that may catch your eye, 
But only a few will catch your heart.

The Joy(Chapter Six)
By: JLaLa(jlynpinay@aol.com)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*
The wedding was not like no other, maybe because the best man was drunk
before the reception and kissing EVERYONE. Even the groom. Or maybe it
was because the Maid of Honor was also out of her mind drunk and belting
out 'The Wedding March' like there was no tommorrow. Obviously Minako
and Motoki had decided to have their own pre-wedding celebration. Back
to the subject, why was this wedding out of the ordinary?

Maybe because the blushing bride was seven months pregnant.

Usagi along with her mother and the girls has managed to pull off the
most elegant wedding you could produce in a month. Poor Mamoru, he
had been clueless for a month. He had no idea what were all these
napkin thingys that Usagi kept asking him about and poor Kenji his
life savings was being cleaned out in such a short period. How
was it possible that all these women could spend several thousands
in just a month?

It was picture perfect and as Mamoru and Usagi came out of the church
they swore that the sun shone a little brighter, the birds sang a 
little bit sweeter and the air seemed warmer just for them. The couple
stood outside their lips meeting in a sweet kiss as rose petals and 
bubbles flew in the air. 

"So the wedding is over, what do we do now?", Raye asked carrying Miya
in her arms. She watched happily as the two walked into the limo. What
a day.

"We party", Yuuichirou responded and kissed her on the cheek.
*********************************************************************
"And I would like to raise my glass to our newly married couple", 
Motoki said and smiled at Mamoru. "To Usagi and Mamoru!" The others 
raised their glasses in unison.

"TO USAGI AND MAMORU!", The crowd responded. With that everyone took
a drink and suddenly there was a sound of tinkling. Usagi blushed
beautifully knowing that it meant that everyone wanted to see her
and HUSBAND to kiss.

"So shall we give a whirl?", She asked Mamoru who lifted her chin to
a bittersweet kiss. A happy applause filled the room and Minako stood
up. Smiling at Usagi who was the picture of an enchantress she cleared 
her throat.

"I guess it's my turn to give a toast", Minako said. "I have met a 
number of people in my lifetime, I have met a lot of couples in my 
lifetime. But..." She gave Usagi's hand a squeeze and looked around 
at Makoto, Ami  Raye, Mirichu, Haruka, Setsuna and Hotaru. "I have 
never met anyone like Usagi whose laughter and smile can make my day, 
a girl who would do the stupidest things to make me laugh and even in 
the darkest of nights come and let me cry on her shoulder. And I never
met anyone like Mamoru, the brother I've always wanted, a person with 
such a strong soul and such a good heart inside" Her eyes filled with 
misty tears. "And I have never seen such a love that is between them, 
a love that I put my own faith and love on, a love that everyone in 
this world wishes for. Life, love and eternal happiness always" She 
wiped her eyes and raised her glass and said with a choke whisper. 
"Toast"

"TOAST", The crowd said. Not a dry eye in sight. 

"Minako...", Usagi said in soft voice and the two faced one another. 
Without a word Usagi wrapped her arms around her friend. "I love you
Minako, thank you for being my friend" Mamoru watched the two in 
happiness. A slow ballad came on. The first dance.

"NO, Thank YOU for being my friend Usa", She responded and released 
her. "Go and have your first dance with your husband" Usagi grinned 
and took Mamoru's hand. Walking to the floor Mamoru looked at his 
wife, the woman who he had adored and would always adore and held 
her close.

She may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price
I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within a measure of a day


She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven
or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
inside her shell...

"I love you", Mamoru whispered in her ears and the words were so 
tender that Usagi felt a set of new tears spring to her eyes. She 
looked up at him with sparkling in her eyes. Usagi nodded slowly.

"I've known all my life Mamo-chan", She whispered back and only held 
him tighter. Ikuko watched from her seat and took Kenji's hand, this 
was the sight she had waited to see since the day Usagi was born. She 
felt complete. 

Kenji walked up to them and Mamoru stepped back to let him have a 
dance with his daughter. Kenji held his hand out and Usagi took it. 
He gave her twirl like in the old days where Usagi was only seven 
and Kenji was the only man she danced with. Her sweet laughter 
filled his ears and he knew he'd never forget this moment.

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one aloud to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope
to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
But I'll remember till the day I die

Mamoru watched Usagi dance with her father. Her dress only reaching 
above her knees with it's long sleeves and the tight bodice flowing 
into a skirt spun with her. Her smile lit up the room and her blue
eyes were enrapturing. Everything about her seemed even more beautiful
tenfold. She turned to him, her long blond hair covered in a veil 
almost reaching the floor and as Usagi smiled at him he felt his heart
leap for her.

She may be the reason I survive
The why and way for I'm alive
The one I'll care for
Through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she...

She...
Ohhh She....
************************************************************************
That night as everyone climbed in their beds their minds drifted back
to the wedding. In their minds each carried a small, special memory
which they'd keep in their heart all their lives...

Rei thought of the look of Usagi's lovely face as she repeated her
vows. The same vows she had said with Yuuichirou. As Rei climbed
into bed she laid a small kiss on her husband's forehead and then
wrapped herself in his warm arms...

Ami laid in bed, next to her the bridal bouquet. She heard the laughter
and applause as Usagi tossed the bouquet in her direction. Her own shock
as she caught it. Her eyes brimmed with tears seeing the happiness on
Usagi's and Mamoru's faces. Perhaps she was next. Giggling she set the
bouquet aside and turned off her light...

Makoto laid in bed contendtedly watching a old romance movie as she ate
a piece of cake. She laughed outloud at the look on Mamoru's face as 
Usagi practically stuff about a fourth of the cake in his mouth. And
Usagi's own shock as he almost stuffed the other half in her mouth.
Looking at the picture of her own sweetheart she picked up the phone
to give him a call...

Minako stood at the door holding her fingers up against her lips. It
was only seconds ago that Motoki had dropped her off and before leaving
gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. They had danced the night away
along with the newlyweds. Ami may have the bouquet but who knows...

Haruka and Mirichu laid in each others arms that night. The night
was warm and in their minds laid their friends faces, all happy
and Usagi and Mamoru who were very much in love. Haruka felt a
swell inside of her. One day would be for her and Mirichu.
"Mirichu, marry me..."

Setsuna's eyes began to close and the music that night flowed
in her head. One day she hoped she'd be that in love that
happy. And the last thought in her head before she felt into
a sweet sleep was Usagi's face. Good luck and all my love Mamoru
and Usagi...

Kenji looked out the window and sighed. In bed Ikuko slept with a
happy smile on her face. Shingo was in the back dancing in his arms
the ivory faced Hotaru. How old he felt. In the window he saw the
reflection of him and Usagi dancing, a grand smile on his little
girl's face and he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that
no matter what he would always miss his Usagi...
******************************************************************
A loud crash was heard the hallway as Mamoru STRUGGLED to open the 
door and carry his bride over the threshold. Actually carrying both 
of them over the threshold. He laughed nervously and Usagi held on
to his neck. FINALLY getting over to the inside of the apartment
he put her down. There he kissed her on the lips lovingly and 
looked into her deep blue eyes.

"I want to show you something", He told her and led her to the guest
room. Turning on the light he revealed a creamily painted nursery. 
A pure white crib stood in the corner next to the window. A matching
changing table stood opposite it and right near the crib a rocking
chair. Bunny wallpaper on the top of the walls and stuffed bunnies 
ironically filled the room. Usagi's eyes filled with tears at the
painting that she and Mamoru once posed for.

"Where did you get it?", She asked him and took his hand. "It's just
like I remember it"

"A little phone call...to Paris...apparently that's where the famous
'Lonnie Lanai' lives. Peggy says hi by the way. It's my wedding present
to you...and the baby" He kissed her hand. "I love you Usako"

"This is so beautiful and so...expensive", She said hushed, Usagi 
looked up at her husband. "Thank you" She kissed him. Leading him 
to their bedroom doorway she stopped to caress his cheek. They had 
had some bad times and some good times but through it all she had 
and always would remain in love with him. "Let's go to bed Mr.Chiba"

"After you MRS.Chiba", He said as they walked in and closed the door
behind them.
