Chapter 33: Happy ever after?

Tia's POV

I hear a groan next to me, and I stir from my peaceful slumber. I squint at the clock beside my bed, my eyes widening.

9:34

Crap.

"Ridge, wake up" I urge, rolling out of bed. He groans louder, and I stop to smile as he holds his head, wincing painfully.

"I've got the mother of all headaches, don't tell me to get up" he groans.

"We're going to miss the wedding, come on!" I laugh, stumbling into the bathroom to grab a cup of water and throw it onto his head.

It was the day after the party, and Liam had told me it was the perfect time to get married. At 10'O clock in the morning after a massive party that went on until 3 in the morning.

My brother had brilliant logic.

Of course he wasn't the only one. Sky and Deadlox would be getting married straight after. I sigh, brushing my teeth and smirking in the mirror when I see Ridge sit up, whimpering like a kicked puppy.

I wince suddenly when I feel a sharp kick to my stomach. I raise my eyebrow, looking down as I wash my mouth out. Two more months.

I hear a bang behind me, and splutter on the water as I spot Ridge stand up and promptly fall and faceplant onto the floor.

"Come on, let's wake the kids. We have to get them ready" I giggle, pausing, before striding over to him, picking up his arms and swinging him up. He stumbles, and I hug him briskly. I suddenly remember we were both without clothes, and I sigh as he tries to pull me onto the bed.

"We don't have time, come on! Liam's going to get married in...half an hour!" I sigh.

"It's a known fact that sex is a good cure for headaches" he mumbles into the sheets as I stand up.

"So is your sister because she is a healer. If you're not dressed in ten minutes I'll take my crown back" I smirk, before focusing on my body, imagining a bridesmaid dress. Within minutes one appears on me, and I pant, sweat running down my face. It still took a lot of practise to spawn things in...

I go down the corridor, bumping into Sepia and Ellis, who were both dressed in matching suits. "Guys, do you know where Ana is?" I ask, hugging both of them. They were like brothers to me, and were a part of our family now.

"Yeah, she's getting ready" Ellis nods sheepishly, going red. I raise my eyebrow.

"Well...when she's done, tell her to go to Ridge, because he has a hangover and he won't get out of bed" I sigh. Sepia laughs loudly, jogging the other way down the corridor, whilst Ellis goes to check on Ridge.

I finally reach the kids rooms to see Deamon in there, helping Ryan choose his clothes. "Did Ana heal your headache?" I ask, pausing to turn Robin around and blocking her from Deamon's view whilst I got her dressed in a white silk dress that flowed down to her heels and draped on the floor just the slightest. It was tied together with a black ribbon. She grinned, twirling round, and I finish it by putting a silvery glitter tiara on her head.

She was a princess, after all.

"Yeah, thank the gods" he sighs, and when I turn round, I coo at Ryan in his suit and tie, looking all fancy. I put a small crown that looked like Ridge's on his head and he smirks, looking at Deamon. "I'm a prince so I can command you" he grins. Deamon raises an eyebrow, mock punching him on the shoulder-it seemed Ryan and Robin had forgiven him for his actions in the survival games arena.

"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try" Deamon taunts, puffing his chest out. "Alright, children, calm down. Deamon, make sure they are at the chapel in ten minutes. I'll go get Ridge out of bed" I sigh, leaving quickly.

When I reach our bedroom, Ridge was sat up, and Ana was healing his headache. Sepia and Ellis were talking on the other side of the room. I hear a thumping noise from the other room, and a crow of delight from Ryan and Deamon mock screaming and begging for mercy and I facepalm. "Sepia, Ellis, go pin Deamon down and get the kids in here." I laugh. They both grin. "With pleasure" Ellis chuckles, and they both leave.

Ana didn't seem to enjoy the fact that Ridge was sat up naked, and her eyes were shut tight, her mouth turned down in a grimace. I wave my hand over Ridge and use nearly all of my energy to spawn a suit in. I chuck it at his face, and he jumps. Ana pulls away from him, grinning, before glancing at me, and hugging me. She was dressed in a lavendar dress, and it looked amazing with her exotic caramel coloured skin.

Ridge pulls the suit on behind her, rubbing his eyes wearily. "You look amazing" Ana whispers, patting me on the head, before cooing. Robin and Ryan come in, looking shy and pretty in a dress and a suit, Deamon, Sepia and Ellis following.

The family was here, and for a few minutes, we stand chatting. Then I glance at the clock.

9: 56

"Come on, we're already late!" I snap, grabbing Ridge's hand and heading for the door. He tugs me back, and I stare at him in bewilderment.

He raises an eyebrow and opens the window. I smile, wrapping my dress around my waist so it doesn't blow open as I fly. Ana and Robin do the same. 

Ridge takes my hand, and we jump from the window.

The cool, refreshing morning air feels warm against my skin, and I smile as we touch down to the ground like a swan to water.

The family follows behind us, and Ridge smiles down at me, kissing me softly. 

"Right, let's go to this wedding" he laughs.

Liam's POV

I stand impatiently outside the marble white building. Where the hell was my sister?

She was not only my bridesmaid but the person who led me on. It was one minute past 10, and we were late.

Finally, she appears with her family, arm linked into Ridge's.

"You took your time!" I huff, but grin and hug her. "You guys go sit in the chapel, tell them we're coming in a few minutes" Tia says, kissing Ridge on the cheek and ushering them in.

We stand outside for a while.

"It should of been dad leading you in" she murmurs. We no longer referred to him as Mexxy, deciding "dad" would do just as well.

"I know." I sigh. We stand in awkward silence for a while.

"Better go in then. You nervous?" she grins. "A bit" I grin back shakily. 

"There's no need to be, it's your special day" she winks, linking her arm in mine.

"Let's get this over and done with then" I sigh, giggling as we walk forward in a slow tempo.

The door opens and the wedding march starts. It was hard to stay on track with the beat with so many eyes watching you. I flushed red instantly-Sky wasn't going to let that go. I took a deep breath and Tia squeezed my arm, keeping me in time with the music until I finally got to the front.

Mitch was dressed in a suit with a royal blue tie, whereas my suit had a white tie. Tia let go, and I turned to face Mitch, grinning. He takes my hands and squeezes them tightly-I felt like I was going to faint!

We said our vows and at the end, we kissed. It was by far the most amazing day I've ever had. Straight after that came Deadlox and Sky's wedding, which was just as good.

Then came the moment we had all been waiting for-the party!

Note: Liam's POV is really hard to write o_o

Tia's POV

The party was held in Voxeltopia. Why not? Not all the demigods agreed with Ridge and I bringing mortals here, but, as we were the King and Queen, they let us do as we wished.

The party went on until midnight, when we heard the news-Lewis had proposed to Hannah!

Inside, I felt a bit annoyed. Why wasn't I getting married yet? Ridge seemed to realize that I was annoyed and spent the evening cuddling with me, which made it better.

The air was beginning to get warm and musty with the smell of beer and wine, so I went outside onto our bedroom balcony to gaze at the stars.

Parting the white net curtains, I step onto the marble balcony and lean on the railings, looking up. I wondered if Mexxy was up there, with the stars. I tilted my head, trying to make out shapes of things, but failing. I sighed, looking down. There were no clouds blocking the view of the mortal land, and I gazed down at the valleys, green and flush with wildlife, and the forests teeming with flowers and hidden dangers. It was all mine and Ridge's-we owned the world now.

Arms go around my waist and I smile gently as Ridge leaned his head on my shoulder, gazing down with me. "It's all ours" I whisper, and he nods.

"You didn't seem to be your usual self today" he notes, stroking my cheek. I get up off the balcony and turn round, sitting on it instead-I didn't care if I fell, since I could fly back up anyway.

"Do you remember when you first became a quart god, and we flew up to look at the stars?" he whispers, looking up at the sky. I smile at the memory, shutting my eyes.

"I remember when you stroked my hand. I felt so confused...you weren't insane then, I could tell." I smile, opening my eyes, and I blink in shock.

He was in his knee, gazing at me with a grin threatening to twitch onto his face. My hand goes over my mouth to stop myself from letting out a gasp.

"Tia..." he begins, and tears gather in my eyes. Finally...

Note: Some mushy speech coming up now, prepare for fluffy marshmellow speech :D

"When we first met, things were a lot different than they are now. I hated you, and it was because you were Mexxy's daughter. But soon I began to realize that you were innocent, and happy, and even when I was insane, I wanted someone to make me happy. You did that. I had bad moments, and I understood why you ran away. It gave me a while to...think things over. What I wanted...I wanted you. That much was clear..." he smiles up at me before continuing.

"There were three things I wanted. My crown back, children, and the chance to feel love. I'd never been in love before, and it scared me in a good way. You have given me all three of those and more than I could ever deserve. I want to repay back the favour, and if it is what you wish, I will be yours forever, and I promise that I will love you forever, no matter what your past was, and whatever the future holds. I promise to stay by your side through whatever life throws at us. Tia, will you marry me?" he grins, taking a black box out of his coat and opening it.

Inside was a ring, with a black diamond heart on it, the rarest type of jewel in the world. 

There was a silence for a while as I stared at him in shock.

"About bloody time" were the first words that left my mouth and he chuckled.

"Yes, of course I will. Do you really need to ask?" I laugh, happy tears flowing down my face as I throw myself at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He laughs, sighing in relief, and pulls me away to put the ring on my finger. I push him back onto the floor, and for a while, we cuddle and kiss in silence.

Rolling back onto the floor, I notice Ridge has gone to sleep, a happy smile on his face. I lie down next to him, and see one, lone cloud floating by. And I swear to the gods, it looked like Mexxy, smiling down at us.

Note: This is the last PROPER chapter, however there is an epilogue that you DON'T WANT TO MISS! And of course, another author's note xD DON'T GO YET D:
