Chapter Thirty-Three

Helga's POV:

The place is abuzz with activity; we are going to have two Weddings here this after noon. Roland is outside making sure that all the finishing touches have been made to make sure that, the gazebo is ready and that the giant tent is up and all the chairs are set up for the family and friends.

Everyone has started waking up and I have breakfast ready for when they all come downstairs, I still get misty eyed when I think that our sons are getting married, but then I smile knowing that we are also getting another son, a daughter and one beautiful granddaughter.

I stood there looking out the kitchen window at the back yard and how beautiful it was, when Amber came running in her and as I turned around she was giggling then Serenity came running in her after her. I smiled as I watched then together, Serenity is a great mother and she has grown up so much since her first day here.

Amber squealed as Serenity picked her up and she said, “Helga help, mommy's going to tickled me.” I laughed and said, “Breakfast is ready, if you're hungry both of you had better sit down and eat before the guys get here and eat all the food up.”

As they sat down, I gave each of them some pancakes, scrambled eggs and for a special treat, I baked cinnamon rolls. As Serenity and Amber began eating, the guys came downstairs and Joey said, “Oh yeah, Helga's famous pancakes.” We all started laughing at what he said, and then they all sat down and we began eating.

After breakfast, I scooted everyone upstairs to get ready, “All of you get upstairs, and get yourselves ready.” Then I got the table cleared off and dishes done then I went to my room and got myself ready.

Roland's POV:

Today I was outside making sure that everything would be ready for the Weddings, and then I heard Amber's squeals and I had to chuckle because I knew that either her mommy or Helga was chasing her.

When I got inside and walked into the kitchen, Serenity and Amber sitting at the table eating their breakfast, and I went over and gave each of them a kiss and sat down and Helga gave me a plate of her delicious pancakes and some scrambled eggs, then we heard the guys coming down the stairs laughing and when they got to the kitchen, Joey exclaimed, “Oh yeah, Helga's famous pancakes.”

I started laughing and Amber said, “We're gonna eat them all up.” Then Joey went over and started kissing her and she was laughing, then Helga said, “Joseph sit down or no breakfast.”

That got him to sit down and as they all were seated, Helga gave each of them a plate and said, “You're all old enough to serve yourselves.” This was one of the best times of the day, when we are all sitting around this table eating and enjoying each other.

When everyone went upstairs to get ready, there was a knock on the front door and when I went to see who it was, as I opened the door I found Chester standing there.

I said, “It's good to see you again.” I let him in and we went to the kitchen and when Helga turned around, she smiled and came over and gave him a kiss and said, “Serenity's going to be so excited to see you.”

Chester smiled and said, “No more excited then I am, to see her and Amber.” Then we heard some commotion and I said, “Roland, take Chester to the Den, when it's time he can go upstairs and surprise her.”

Chester's POV:

When my plane landed in Domino, I was excited to be seeing my daughter and granddaughter again, but then I was a little sad too.

Today I was going to be giving my daughter away to a very nice young man, and it was kind of sad because she wouldn't be my little girl anymore, she was going to be Mrs. Serenity Kaiba.

When I got to the Manor, I knocked on the door and Roland opened it and welcomed me, I am glad to be back here. We went into the kitchen and I saw Helga and like before, she welcomed me with her smile and a kiss.

I'm now sitting in a chair in the den, waiting for Roland to come and take me upstairs to surprise my daughter and granddaughter, I can hardly wait to see them again.

The door opened and Roland came in and said, “Its time, lets go upstairs and you can surprise both Serenity and Amber.”

I smiled and shook his hand and said, “Thank you for welcoming Serenity into this family and for taking care of Amber while everyone thought that her mommy was dead, it means the world to me that now my daughter has found the happiness she has been looking for.”

We walked upstairs and Roland said, “This is her room, then he walked back downstairs and I stood there, then I lifted my hand and knocked on the door.

Serenity opened the door not expecting to find me standing there and when she saw me, she squealed, threw herself into my arms and said, “Amber, grandpa is here.” Then Amber ran over and she grabbed hold of my leg and Serenity said, “Come in.”

We walked into the room, and Amber said, “Grandpa come here, see my new dress.” I walked over and saw the most beautiful dress that looked like it was for a fairy tale princess. I said, “It's beautiful.” Then Amber said, “Mommy, show grandpa your dress.”

Seto's POV:

This morning, I'm trying to get ready, but I'm so damn nervous that I can't tie my tie. It seemed like it was taking forever, then the door opened and Roland came in, he laughed when he saw I was having trouble and said, “Come here, let me tie that before you choke yourself.”

I smiled and said, “I'm glad that you are our dad, you've been here for Mokie and me and no matter what, you are always there to try to make it right, I love you.”

Roland then hugged me and said, “I guess I'd better go see how your brother is and then I'll stop by and see if Joseph needs any help.” Then he was gone and I continued to try not to throw up, I'm really nervous.

Mokuba's POV:

There was a knock on my door and when I opened it, I found dad standing there and I nearly started to cry. “Hey, what's wrong?” Roland asked. I said, “This tie isn't doing what I want it to.” Then he said, “Come here, I'll tie it so that you can finish getting ready.”

I gave him a hug and said, “You're the best dad anyone could ask for, thanks for being here for Seto and me.” Then he tied my tie and said, “I'm going to go check on Joseph, you better get ready, it's almost time.” I guess I looked frantic, because he laughed as he left the room.

Joseph's POV:

I'm standing here looking at myself in the mirror trying to tie this blasted tie, but it's not doing that I want it to. Then there was a knock on the door, I opened it and there was Roland, I nearly fell apart as he came into the room and after giving me a hug he said, “Lets get this tie done, then I can get out of here and you can finish getting ready.”

When he left, I got my tuxedo on and as I looked at myself in the mirror, I thought to myself, “In an hour I'll be married to the only man I ever loved, I'll be the life mate of Seto and it'll be one of the happiest days of my life.”


Helga's POV:

It's time, everyone's here and sitting outside waiting for the Joseph and Serenity to come walking down the aisle. The music starts and Amber begins walking and as she does, she tosses flower petal on the runner, the I take Roland's arm and we walk down the aisle.

Then the Wedding March begins, we all stand up and here comes Chester escorting his daughter down the aisle towards Mokuba, then Solomon escorts Joseph down the aisle towards Seto. We all sit down and the Minister says:

We are here to witness the joining of these young people, I have been asked by the family to be here today as each of these young people say their vows, so I'm going to ask Serenity to begin.

Serenity's Vows:

I never thought that I would find someone who would love not only me but my daughter too, but there you were, the one man who brought love and laughter into our lives. You showed me that no matter what our love can get us through whatever life throws our way.

My love for you will last until the end of time and I will show you every day of our lives together just how my I love you.


I Serenity Elizabeth Wheeler take you Mokuba James Kaiba as my wedded husband, to have and to hold until death us do part.

Now I will ask Mokuba to say his vows.


Mokuba's Vows:

Today as I stand here beside the woman I am going to marry, I am the happiest man in the whole world. The day I saw you I knew that you were the one for me and then I met your daughter Amber and I knew that I wanted her to be my daughter too.

My love for you will last until the end of time and I will show you every day of our lives together just how my I love you.

I Mokuba James Kaiba take you Serenity Elizabeth Wheeler as my wedded wife, to have and to hold until death us do part.

Now I'll ask Joseph to say his vows.

Joey's Vows:

As I stand beside the man I want to be my life mate, I remember when I also knew that he was for me, but was afraid to let him know. The day he asked me to marry him was the greatest day of my life.

I Joseph William Wheeler take you Seto Eugene Kaiba as my life mate, to have and to hold until death us do part.

Now Seto will you please say your vows.

Seto's Vows:

I Seto Eugene Kaiba take you Joseph William Wheeler as my life mate, to have and to hold until death us do part.

gIs there anyone here who doesn't believe that these young people should be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace.

So now with I want to pronounce Mokuba and Serenity husband and wife, may your lives be filled with happiness and laughter.

Then the Minister said, “Now I want to pronounce Seto and Joseph life mates, may your lives be filled with happiness and laughter.”

“Everyone please stand and welcome Mokuba and Serenity Kaiba and Seto and Joseph Kaiba, newly wed couples.” Everyone stood, cheered, and clapped and Amber ran to her mommy and daddy and said, “Me Amber Kaiba right mommy.”

Tears filled Mokuba's eyes as he heard this and he picked Amber up and said, “Yes, you’re my daughter now and I love you with all my heart.”

Helga then stood up and said, “Everyone come inside, the Reception will be in the Grand Ball Room.”
