•Xander's POV•

"L-Laurance! Heyyyy buddy...."

Laurance gave me a fowl look and rushed his way to Cadenza's side and hugged her protectively.

"You....stay away from my sister!"

"Laurance!" Cadenza exclaimed.

"Look we got off on the wrong hand here. Let us just explain from the beginning." I said calmly.

"There's a beginning?!" Laurance exclaimed and Cadenza face palmed.

"There's a beginning to everything Laurance! My Irene you are dumber than a pig!"

Cadenza got herself out of Laurance's arms and into mine.

"Look Laurance, me and Cadenza are just started dating."

"Dating?! No no no no no, I saw what you two were doing! You are not to date my sister!" Laurance said as he kept pointing his finger on my chest.

"And you get to date Garroth!" Cadenza protested.

"It is my choice or not on when and who I can date with."

"Well So should I! And my choice is to date with Xander."

"Cadenza!"

"Laurance!"

I look between the 2 siblings and felt the tension. You can slice it with a butter knife.
I broke the two off by bringing Cadenza closer to me.

"Look, Laurance. I like Cadenza, she's an amazing person and I would never hurt her or leave her for the world."

Laurance gave me a curious look. He then looked at Cadenza who was giving her pleading look.

His face than change back to his calm yet angry look.
"Fine. But if you hurt her in any way....it's between you and me Warlock....."

"Laurance how many times should I tell you, to not! Use your shadow knight form to scare someone." Cadenza Says as she pinches the stem of her nose.

Laurance went back to normal and slowly walked out but kept his eyes on us. Pointing two finger up to his eyes and back to us.

I sighed in relief when he was gone and held Cadenza's hand.

"Should we go in? We've been in the entrance for a while..." I said.

"Haha, let's."

•YOUR POV•

"Awww thanks guys, this is wonderful." Vylad Says to Kawaii~Chan and Zane who gifted Vylad nice clothing from his favorite clothing store.

"It was not a problem." Says Kawaii~Chan.

"We've only got 2 more, Okay now who's is this one?" I asked as I picked up a medium size box but it was covered in a lovely wrapping paper.

"That's mine! I hope you like it Vylad." Says Lucinda.

Vylad opened the box and saw "Kitchen utensils! Well I got loads but these would come in handy, thanks Lucinda."

"Anything for you."

Vylad picked up the last box and smiled at me. All the gifts he opened was everyone's but not mine. I left mine the last.

"I guess this is your's sweetie."

"Actually that's mine!" Sylvana Says as she raised her hand.

"Oh...." Vylad Says. He looked at me, but I just smiled at him and urge him to open the gift.

"Wow....Beyoncé's albums. Thanks...."

"You should listen to them Vylad, they are mommy's jam!" Zianna Says.

Vylad awkwardly laughs and placed down the gifts.
"Wow this is all amazing, thanks guys."

"Now all is left is (y/n)." Gene says.

I smiled and signaled Garroth and Laurance where they sneakily but hurried to the backyard and out the gate.
I brought Vylad to the piano and had him sit down on the chair.

"You've told me playing the piano helps you calm down, which I thought was wonderful.
The piano is not my best played instrument that I can do, but it was my favorite.

So as a birthday gift to you from me..."

I showed Vylad the backyard where Garroth and Laurance were carrying a piano and placed it on the spot that I cleared out for it to be placed on.

"A piano."

Everyone in the room clapped and I smiled. "You love playing the piano and you love being outdoors, so what is not better than playing the piano at your backyard with the sound of the soothing waves."

Vylad looked at the piano, shocked and then he stood up, causing the chair to fall.

"Vylad?"

"I-I....I don't like it." He faced me with a blank stare and all I have in my face was a sad look.

"O-oh...I-i guess I-I'll return it....."

I then was lifted in the air with Vylad carrying me bridal style. "I LOVE IT!!!

I smiled and wrapped my arms around Vylad's neck, not wanting to be dropped like last time.

Vylad put me down and took my hand, running outside to where the piano was.
I set the piano right at the far edge, where the wooden wall was so Vylad could hear the ocean.

It was on this little stage where we had our wedding podium. Vylad got up and starts playing a few keys and he smiled.

I look up at him, knowing that he would love it.

"It's perfect!"

"It's the one piano you've always wanted. Remember when we were at the mall and you just pressed your face up against the window, staring at this piano on the showcase."

Vylad smiled at me, standing up cupping my cheeks and softly kissed me.

"I love you....."

"Happy birthday and I love you too...."

"Vylad why not play something?!" Xander yelled and everyone else cheered.

Vylad smiled shyly before looking at me. I urge him on and he walk over to the seat.

(CUE MUSIC)

Vylad has been learning new piano songs day by day and could memorized them in a whole day.

Being proud is a word I could say for him as I watch him playing that piano with the sound of the background.

Zianna came up beside me and gave me Maya. I smiled and held Maya so she could watch her father playing this wonderful melody.

Everyone was silent and probably in awe, this white piano really matched our environment in the backyard.

I smiled even more when he smiled at me than return on focusing on playing the piano.

He soon ended it singing "but I still want you...." on the last notes while staring at me.

I smiled and was almost crying. I ran up to him and hugged him, but not too tightly with Maya in between us.

Vylad took Maya as she clapped her hands and was squealing happily.
I kissed Maya's cheeks and kissed Vylad's.

"No matter what, I will always want you....."

~Time Skip~

"You got everything under control?" I asked the 5th time to Garroth and Zane.

"Stop worrying, you can trust us with Maya, (d/n) and the house." Says Zane.

"Plus Kawaii~Chan and Laurance will help us and probably the others if you don't mind." Says Garroth.

"I actually need as much people as we can to help in taking care of everything. You sure you got this?" I asked.

"We'll be fine, the dog will be fine and Maya will be more than fine."

I sighed and look at the two with worried eyes. "Alright, I trust you guys and if anything happens, call me immediately!"

"We got it, now go have fun on your honeymoon." Garroth was pushing me, but I quickly went to the kitchen where Maya was sitting at her baby stool.

I carried her in my arms and kissed her cheeks but also her entire face.
"Mama?"

"Okay Maya, Mama will be gone for a few days. Okay? Be good to your uncle and aunts.
I love you sweetie, mama will be here for you...."

"Mama!"

I smiled as I hugged her. I kissed her one last time before giving her to Zane.

"Please take care of our angel." I said as I felt Vylad's hand around my waist.

"Papa, will miss you...." Vylad kisses Maya's face and she giggled.

I send a flying kiss before turning to start going.
I turned back once more to see Zane waving Maya's hand as she smiled brightly at me.

I smiled and we were both off to the car.
I went in and let out a breath.
Vylad came in after me and held my hand.

"Everything will be alright okay?"

I nodded as I buckled my seatbelt and look out the window where we start driving out of the driveway.

I'll miss you Maya, so so much.

~Time Skip~

"Please just tell me where we'll be going!" I said one last time as we were sitting in the lounge's chair.

"Nope, you'll just see later on when we get on the plane." Vylad Says.

I rolled my eyes. "Well I then can later see the tv panel which would tell us where we're going! So ha! Take that!"

"I don't think so. This lounge is for first class and business class only. They don't have those Tv panels, they'll just be announcing the flight's number and we're off."

I looked at him in disbelief and groaned while sulking on my chair.

"You are the same (y/n) I knew from high school."

"And you are the same old Vylad who is so annoying to others."

"But you love me~" Vylad pouted.

"And I don't."

I crossed my arms and turned away from him.
We then heard an announcement and I saw Vylad standing up.

"Come on miss grumpy, we have a flight to catch."

I grabbed Vylad's hand as we went up to the desk lady where she'll check our tickets.

I tried looking at the tickets to see where the location is, but Vylad hid it.

The lady ripped the tickets in half and gave it back to us.
"Have a safe flight."

We were now on the way to the plane. Vylad held my hand the entire way and we made it to the plane, being greeted.

Vylad bought first class and he went up behind me, covering my eyes.

"Okay so what now?" I asked and heard some soft giggles from the staff.

"They're so cute..." I heard one of them said.

Vylad lead me forward and we stopped.
"I hope you like it."
He uncovered my eyes and I gasped to see the first class we were going to be in.

(Minor notice, those who knows the airline for this....well just imagine that they're not using that airline.
Just some other airline in this fictional world of Aphmau's. You can name it whatever you want)

"What in the name of Irene Vylad!" I said as I playfully punched him, but it ended up being as hard as I thought.

"Owwwieee."

"Sorry, but why spoil money for this! I don't even know how long the plane flight would be."

"Just relax hun, that's what we're here for. Relaxing...."

I gave him a look before giving in. Sitting on my chair while Vylad was beside me.

I've never flew in first class, so this is an experience.

"Some wine Ma'am?" An air stewardess asks as she stops by my little cabin.

"Umm sure..."

She poured in the wine in my glass, which is red wine and placed it on the little counter I have.

"Ma'am when the plane starts flying you can slide the door to open and close in anytime.
If you have any further questions, just call us through the phone."

I look to where the phone is and smiled and nodded at the woman.
"Thank you."

The attendant left and I was about to sip my wine, but then saw Vylad sipping on it.
He opened up that little window we had between us.

"Hey that's my wine."

"Come on...let's just share. Plus this is great wine."

He took another sip while I just crossed my arms. I then look over at the tv I had and went to the flight info, but all I was given was

'Access in opening the flight info is denied, requested by Vylad Ro'meave.'

I gave Vylad a look and he just smirked at me.
"What?"

"What the heck Vylad? Did you requested for all the TV's not being able to show the flight's info?!"

"No, it's only your tv that couldn't see the flight's info. I want this to be a real surprise so you wouldn't even know where we're going at all."

I just looked at him and let out a breath.
After some safety guides and a little introduction from the pilot, who didn't specify where we're going,
The plane sets off.

I closed the door I had and leaned my chair back. I relaxed a bit while the plane's engine softly roars.

After a while a lady came knocking and she brought me my lunch.

I smiled and began to eat while probably watching some movies.
I look over at Vylad and saw him munching down his food like an animal and I gave him a judging stare.
He caught on and looked at me with his mouth full. "What...?"

I rolled my eyes before grabbing my napkin, wiping off the white sauce he had.
"Sometimes, I don't even know why I'm married to a slob like you." I said jokingly.

"Excuse me, but who was the one that bought these first class plane tickets?"

"Technically I never asked for such luxury, this was your idea that I had no confrontation in."

"Touché."

I smiled and gave a shrug, before returning back to my food. I finished up and just take a rest.
Cause this will take a while.
