"Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover"

——

Baby pink painted fingernails nervously tapped the desk with a blank sheet of paper and a pen that sat on top of it. Underneath the desk, her right leg was bouncing up and down and her other hand was gripping her brown hair

"Think Bella! Think!"

Arabella Manchester had procrastinated too long and only had two more days to write her vows for her wedding.

"Why do I always wait till the last minute to do things?!" Bella cursed to herself, leaning her head back and covering her face with her hands.

"Knock Knock"

Bella jumped in her seat and turned to find only Charlotte at the door and the brunette sighed in relief.

"Oh, it's you, good," Bella smiled and Charlotte set down the box of wedding supplies on Bella's bed. "I was worried you were Henry."

"You still haven't written your vows yet?" Charlotte asked her with folded arms and Bella pressed her lips together, itching her head.

"What makes you say that?" Bella asked, turning away from the robot girl. Charlotte walked up to Bella and stared at the blank sheet of paper and a chewed-up pen.

"Well, the empty sheet of paper and chewed-up pen tell me you haven't," Charlotte remarked and Bella groaned, laying her forehead on the desk.

"This is hopeless!"

"It's not like you had over 4 years to write them or anything," Charlotte shrugged and Bella lifted her head and furrowed her eyebrows at her.

"Not helping."

"Okay, listen," Charlotte sat on Bella's bed and Bella turned to her. "Have you tried writing any vows? Is there anything?"

Bella pulled out her trashcan which was filled to the brim with crumbled-up pieces of paper.

"No, I haven't," Bella sarcastically replied and Charlotte rolled her eyes. "Nothing I have written is even close to good enough for Henry. It has to be perfect for him."

Bella's eyes lowered to the engagement ring on her finger and she fiddled with it, shaking her head.

"I don't want to stand in front of him and give him nothing. He deserves everything in the world. He's my whole world. I can't mess this up."

Charlotte reached her hand out and touched Bella's hands, "That's a start. Wedding vows are meant to be filled with emotion and love. It's authentic and raw. Try not to overthink it."

Bella looked up at Charlotte, squeezing her hand, and nodded.

"I'll try."

"Good," Charlotte smiled as she stood up and gave Bella a tight hug. "We leave tomorrow morning for Swellview."

"I know," Bella replied as the girls pulled away. "Love you, Char."

"Love you too, Airy."

Charlotte left the room after that and Bella sat in silence for a few moments, pondering what she said. Bella's eyes found the box Charlotte bought in and she stared at it for a bit, before getting up and opening it.

A soft smile formed on Bella's face when she saw an old picture of her and Henry when they were fourteen. Bella picked it up to get a closer look. Ray wanted to capture the moment Henry and Bella got together because he had never seen his daughter so happy. Ray knew from that moment that they would be together forever.

——

8 Years Ago

"Feels good!"

Bella's smile only grew as Henry said his catchphrase and chuckled against his chest, feeling so much warmth and comfort in his arms.

Henry pulled away from her and took her hand, pulling her to the back.

"Let's go tell everyone!" Henry eagerly smiled and Bella trailed behind him, glancing at their interlocked hands every moment she got.

Once they got to the elevator, Bella's eyes looked up at Henry, who was facing toward the elevator. She admired his gorgeous dirty blonde hair and his dashing smile that was plastered on his face. Bella couldn't believe she was able to call Henry Hart her boyfriend.

Butterflies filled her stomach as she continued to gaze up at the sidekick and she let out the smallest giggle, before moving closer and holding his arm with her other hand. Henry looked down at the brunette who was nustled up against his body and his eyes filled with love.

After crushing on her for so long, Henry was finally able to call Arabella Manchester his girlfriend.

Henry squeezed her hand with a soft smile, "You're adorable."

Bella tilted her head up to meet his eyes and the couple smiled at one another. The elevator doors opened and the couple walked inside still keeping close contact as the elevator began to move down to the Man Cave.

The couple walked out of the elevator doors and stepped into the Man Cave to see Ray, Charlotte, and Schwoz sitting on the couch watching Drake and Josh on the monitor.

Charlotte was first to notice Henry and Bella. She had to do a double take to notice Bella attached Henry's arm and their big smiles

Charlotte gasped, standing up. "Oh my gosh! Did it finally happen?!"

Henry and Bella shared an excited look as Ray and Schwoz turned their attention to the couple, both standing up.

"We're officially a couple!" Henry announced, walking toward them and Bella giggled, nodding her head.

Charlotte rushed up to them, hugging them both as Ray smiled and Schwoz clapped his hands, walking up to them.

"That's wonderful news!" Schwoz congratulated.

Ray didn't say anything and just kept the happy smile on his face. His eyes fell on Bella and felt his whole body fill with joy when he saw how happy his daughter looked. That's all he ever wanted and now she finally has it.

The four turned to Ray after a few moments, anticipating his reaction.

"Ray?" Henry asked, letting go of Bella's hand and approaching his boss. Bella stood next to Charlotte, exchanging a nervous expression. "You alright with this? You did give me permission, remember?"

Henry knew Ray gave him his blessing, but still was anxious on how Ray would feel.

Ray looked at Henry and then at Bella, before bringing his sidekick in for a tight embrace. Henry was surprised by the hug, before chuckling and hugging back.

Bella relaxed and let out a small sigh of relief.

Ray pulled away and took Henry's shoulders. "Treat my daughter well that's all I ask. If you do anything bad to her, you're fired."

Henry patted his arm with reassurance. "No worries. I won't let anything bad happen to her.

"Good. I'm happy for you both." Ray grinned, moving closer to his daughter with Henry next to him.

"Thanks, dad," Bella softly smiled and glanced at Schwoz and Charlotte.

"Let me get a picture of the happy couple," Ray said taking out his phone and this signaled Schwoz and Charlotte to move away.

Henry moved over to Bella, hugging her from behind and Bella placed her hands on top of his hands, leaning against his chest. Bella's butterflies grew as she felt his chin rest on his head and she had the brightest smiled plastered on her face. Ray snapped the photo wns the couple relaxed, but Henry kept his arms around his girlfriend.

"When you two get married, I'm going to frame this and give it to you," Charlotte joked and Bella chuckled nervously with a faint blush.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Bella remarked.

Henry and Bella looked at each other, before Henry placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. Bella let out a small giggle, averting her eyes from him.

"Feels good!" Henry grinned, gently squeezing Bella.

——

~Present Time~

Bella hadn't noticed she started tearing up until she saw a tear fall on the photo. She quickly wiped her tears away and walked over to her desk, placing the picture on her desk and taking a seat.

Bella put in her AirPods and put her playlist on shuffle as she began to write her vows. With motivation and inspiration, Bella was managing to write her vows with no problem.

"I feel so high school every time I look at you
I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you..."

——

~The Next Morning~

Bella walked out of her bedroom with two duffel bags on her arms. Behind her was Henry carrying their twins, who were both sound asleep. Ruby and Ryder were two and a half years old now and had started developing powers. Like Violet, they were cycling between different abilities for awhile and it was a nightmare. One baby was bad, but two was a whole different story.

Ryder gained Bella's plant manipulation and Ruby has Henry's force field. Bella was quite relieved when none of them acquired her chaos manipulation power, because it's a scary ability to have and it freaks Bella out everytime she uses it. Giving that ability to a two year old would cause a catastrophe.

"It's so early in the morning!" Bella groaned, plopping on the couch and dropping her duffel bags.

"It's 10:30 in the morning," Henry reasoned and Bella shrugged with a frown.

"And?"

Henry chuckled at his fiancé taking a seat next to her and kissing her temple. Bella sat up and took her son in her arms.

Charlotte and Jasper walked out with their bags and Jasper cheered loudly.

"HENBELLA WEDDING!"

This caused the twins to wake up and start crying loudly, which only made Charlotte scold him and whack his head. Bella and Henry attempted to calm down their twins.

"The twins are finally asleep and you do that?!" Charlotte berated and Jasper bickered back.

"I'm sorry my excitement needed to be expressed!" Jasper apologized.

During all the arguing and crying, Miles teleported into the room and froze at all the noise. He was there to pick up the team and bring them to Swellview.

He looked back and forth between the Harts calming down their kids and Charlotte yelling at Jasper.

"Uh... guys?" He called, but no one heard him. He awkwardly stood there, unsure of what to do. "This seems like a really bad time. I'll come back later."

Miles teleported away and moments later he came back with Mary.

"Help," he pleaded her.

"You separate them and I'll take care of the kids," Mary suggested and the two split.

Miles approached Charlotte and Jasper, ignoring their bickering and took their hands.

"Miles?!" They asked, but he ignored them and teleported them away.

Mary went up to the Harts and cleared her throat, which got their attention.

"Mom!" Bella jumped back, still comforting Ryder. The babies had began to calm down due to the yelling stopping. "How did you-

"Miles teleported me here. You didn't notice that he took Jasper and Charlotte away. Thank goodness he did," Mary sighed with relief, before noticing Henry was struggling to calm down Ruby.

"I'm not doing this right," Henry nervously chuckled. "Ruby's never liked me."

"She likes you," Bella assured him. "She just likes me more."

"Nuh uh!" Henry frowned, "Ryder likes me more!"

Mary stood there as Henry and Bella bickered back and forth. She let out a long sigh and then chuckled.

"Already acting like you're married."

Mary opened her purse and got out a spray bottle. She then sprayed them in the face, making sure to not hit the babies.

Bella gasped. "Hey!"

"Dude!" Henry frowned.

"Stop acting like an old married couple and let's hit the the road!" Mary demanded. "This fighting isn't gonna help the babies. You two are supposed to be married tomorrow."

"Isn't that the goal? To act like an old married couple?" Bella asked and looked at Ruby, who was still crying and then at Mary. "Help us."

Mary got out her phone and started playing a lullaby. After a few moments, Ryder stopped crying and his eyes began to close and he was asleep. Mary smiled as she saw Ruby stop crying and she drifted to sleep.

"You're welcome." Mary winked and Bella made a confused face.

"Thought that only worked on Jasper..."

"Let's go!" Mary motioned them to get up. "I'll call Miles."

Bella and Henry stood up with their babies and shared a smile.

"Ready to get married?" Henry asked.

Bella nodded happily. "I'm ready to become Mrs. Hart."

——

~Man's Nest~

"Mary will be back any second with Henry and Bella! She can't see this!"

Ray was panicking. He was instructed on ordering the wedding cake and he couldn't even do that right.

It was a cake alright. Just not what you imagined.

"Are you sure you ordered the correct cake?" Mika asked Ray as they stared at the monstrosity of a cake in front of them.

Mary ordered a white three tier wedding cake with blue and red flowers on it. She even had customized Henry and Bella figured to put in the top, but somehow the orders got mixed up and they ended up with something else.

Instead it was a five tier wedding cake that was yellow, red, green, black, and had fish heads popping out the side. And the cake topper was a man holding fishing rod that held up a sign saying, "I'm going to throw you back to the fishes."

"First of all, who even ordered this?!" Chapa asked.

"Oh! I know this one!" Bose put his hand up. "Uh.... A fisherman who isn't getting married!"

"Good job, Bose!" Terra applauded.

"Okay, okay, don't panic. Everything is fine!" Schwoz assured them.

"Everything is not fine!" Ray exclaimed, grabbing his arms. "The wedding is tomorrow! Don't tell me not to panic!"

Schwoz chuckled nervously. "Alright, then you should panic."

"Why would you say that?!" Ray yelled and they started to bicker, which made Mika, Chapa, and Bose join in. Terra sat there, not even know what the cake looks like, but she smelled was revolting.

Terra stuck her finger in the frosting and tasted it. She gagged at the horrendous taste and shook her head.

"Don't taste the fish cake!"

Miles teleported into the room with Henry, Bella, and the twins. They stood there bewildered by the sight of all the arguing and Henry and Bella shared a look, before shrugging.

"I didn't expect anything less," Bella stated.

"Same here," Henry nodded. "Let's go settle in our rooms."

"Okay!" Bella smiled and they walked into the back as Miles stood there very confused.

"What's happening?!" Miles screamed and this got everyone's attention.

"Miles!" Ray shrieked, "you're back!"

"Where's Henry and Bella?" Chapa asked.

"They saw what was happening. Didn't care and walked away." Miles informed them.

"Did they see the cake?" Ray asked him.

"What is that?!"

The seven yelled as they turned to see Mary there with a gobsmacked face and bags on the floor.

"Mary! You're home!" Ray laughed, walking up to his wife and her eyes turned into a glare. "Did you do something to your hair? It looks nice."

"Ray! What is that on the table? Please do not tell me it's the wedding cake!" Mary snapped and no one responded and she let out a forced laugh filled with anger. "You had one job!"

"To be fair, trusting Ray with anything is a dangerous game," Terra mentioned.

Mary groaned was she walked by Ray, who followed her feeling awful.

"Ray..."

"It was just a mix up at the store! I will go back and fix it!"

"Nope! I'll go and get it fixed." Mary smiles forces at him. "Mika, Chapa, Terra, come with me. This is a women's job. Because men can't do anything right!"

Ray flinched at Mary's outburst and Terra followed Mary out the door with Chapa and Mika. 

Ray sat on the couch with his head in the table and Miles, Bose and Schwoz attempted to comfort him.

"Is Mary okay?" Miles asked, "she's never been this angry before."

"Last time she was this angry, she was-"

Schwoz covered his mouth when he said this and Ray's head shot hi with wide eyes.

"Oh my gosh."

"Oh my gosh what?" Bose asked.

Ray got up and Miles looked at up.

"Ray?" He asked and Ray turned to him, laughing.

"Four kids," Ray laughed. "Four kids! Mary's pregnant!"

Miles and Bose gasped in shock.

"Are you sure?!" Schwoz asked, "because I wasn't being fully serious."

"It all makes sense. Her mood swings match exactly how she was with Violet and she had a weird food craving the other day. Same as when she had Violet." Ray explained.

"Ray, you need to calm down-"

"I'm completely calm!" Ray exclaimed and laughed as he walked to the back. "I'm so calm! I'm okay!"

The three watched as Ray disappeared into the back. Bose let out a sigh and looked at Schwoz.

"So, who's telling Bella that Drex will be at the wedding?"

"Nope!" Miles teleported away and Bose glanced at him as he left. He turned back to Schwoz, who was standing on the elevator.

"Down the tube!"

Bose stood there alone and then looked at the cake.

"Well, it's not gonna eat itself."

He sat down at the table and took a bit. He physically gagged at the taste and took another bite.

"It tastes so bad! But it looks so weird I have too!"

——

~Swellview Bakery~

(A/N I know it has a different name. But I changed it due to recent events that happened)

Mary, Chapa, Terra, and Mika arrived at Swellview Bakery. Chapa and Mika decided to go inside to get the order straightened out while Mary and Terra waited outside.

They sat down at a table outside the bakery underneath some shade. Mary rubbed her face groaning and Terra folded her arms, taking a breath.

"I know you're stressed and everything but I have never seen- well heard you that angry before," Terra began. "You are usually such a calm person... Well, when Ray's not around."

Mary shook her head, waving her off. "Just want to make sure my daughter's wedding is perfect. And with what I saw earlier. I'm having doubts."

"It was just a mix up, we are getting the right cake right now and it will all be okay," Terra assured Mary and took Mary's hand, which was unusually sweating. "Are you okay? You're very sweaty."

Mary was lucky Terra couldn't see her pale face, but Terra could sense her nausea feeling. Terra's empathy ability had gotten stronger and stronger.

"I'm fine!" Mary laughed and cleared her throat. "You want some water? I'm going to get us some water."

Before Terra could respond, Mary got up and rushed inside. Terra followed Mary closely behind and Chapa and Mika noticed this.

"Is Mary okay?" Mika asked and Terra shrugged.

"I don't think so. She says she's stressed about the wedding. But I think there's more," Terra remarked.

Mary rushed into the bathroom and thankfully it was a single bathroom. She went up to the mirror and she continued to feel nauseous and dizzy. She knew this feeling well and already knew what was happening.

Mary leaned on the sink and take deep and slow breaths.

Knock Knock!

Mary looked at the door and panicked. "One second!"

"Mary! It's Chapa!" Chapa called. "You alright? You ran in there pretty fast."

"I'm fine! Just needed to pee a lot!"

Mary opened her purse and pulled out some Advil. She took some in hopes it calms her nausea.

She wiped her face with a paper towel and washed her hands, before she left the bathroom.

She walked out and saw Chapa, Mika, and Terra standing there. Chapa was holding the actually wedding cake and Mary felt relief wash over her at the sight.

"You have the cake! Yay!" Mary smiled and took it from Chapa. "Let's head home before-"

Mary's phone started to ring and she motioned Mika to answer it. Mika looked at the caller ID and it was Bella.

"It's Bella!"

Mary let out a yelp, which got some looks from the people in the bakery. The four walked out of the bakery and Mika held the phone, unsure what to do.

"What do I do?" Mika asked.

"Answer it!" Chapa exclaimed and Mika answered it with a forced smile.

"Bella! Hi! It's Mika!"

Bella and Henry were in the main area of the Man's Nest. Jasper and Charlotte had eventually joined them after going around Swellview shopping for wedding presents.

Bose was still eating the cake even though he was in pain. Ruby and Ryder were playing in play area with Violet. Violet was 5 now.

"Mika, hi," Bella started, looking at the fish cake. "Where's Mary? I have some questions."

"She knows!" Mika sneered, pulling the phone away and handed it to Mary.

Mary gave the cake to Terra and took the phone. She made a worried face and then took a breath.

"Bella! Hello! How's my daughter? Ready for the wedding?" Mary asked her.

"Well, I thought I was till I saw the wedding cake," Bella remarked. "Which is being eaten by Bose."

Henry stood there in shock and disgust as he watched Bose eat the cake.

"Why are you eating it?" Henry asked Bose, who looked at him with cake and fish in his face.

"It looks so weird I had too!"

"I want to join-"

"No." Charlotte grabbed Jasper's arm, pulling him back. "Don't."

Henry turned to Bella, who just shrugged.

"Is that your mom?" Henry asked and Bella nodded.

"Okay, listen," Mary sighed. "Somehow the orders got mixed up and Ray brought home the wrong cake."

Bella pressed her lips together with a nod. "Yeah, that seems like something Ray would do. How did he not notice the mistake? The smell is so revolting!"

"Don't worry! We have the correct cake now! I'm bringing it home!" Mary assured Bella, who smiled with relief.

"Well, hurry, because Bose looks like he's about to pass out from eating the cake," Bella advised.

"Will do!" Mary chuckled nervously and ended the call. "Let's go!"

The four girls rushed back home.

——

Bella put her phone away and went over to her kids and Violet.

"Bella!" Violet giggled and hugged her sister.

Bella smiled. "I can't believe how big you've gotten!"

"Guess what!" Violet poked her cheek and Bella smiled, leaning in for the secret.

"What?"

Violet cupped her ear and whispered.

"Mommy's pregnant!"

Violet giggled as she leaned back and continued to play. However, Bella sat there with wide eyes and fell speechless. She stood up from the play area and turned to Henry unable to form any words.

Henry noticed her expression put his arm around her. "Princess, you alright?"

Bella cleared her throat and nodded. "Mhmm!"

Henry didn't get to say anything, because Ray walked in with Schwoz. Ray beamed at the sight.

"Henry! Bella!"

Bella gained focus back and smiled at her father, allowing the information she learned from her sister to not affect her.

"Dad!"

"Ray!"

The three shared a hug and then the couple hugged Schwoz.

"We are here to." Charlotte gestured to her and Jasper.

Ray chuckled, smiling at them. "Charlotte! Jasper."

Jasper waved at Ray, excitedly. "Hi Ray!"

Ray gave Jasper a half wave, before turning to his daughter and Henry. "So, you ready for tomorrow?" Ray smiled, eyeing the fish cake and a passed out Bose.

"We know the cakes got mixed up," Bella told him and Ray let out a forced laugh.

"We didn't! I didn't! It was all Schwoz!" Ray blamed and Schwoz frowned.

"Why you blaming me for this?" Schwoz asked.

"Ray! Mary called us and told us what happened," Henry interrupted. "Don't worry, she is picking up the right cake and is heading back here."

Ray let out a giant breath of relief and the four smiled together.

"Once the girls get back, I believe everything will run smoothly for the wedding," Bella said and kissed Henry's cheek. "No issues."

Bella walked back over to the babies and Ray had a panicked look on his face. Jasper and Charlotte walked closer to them as they continued talking.

"You didn't tell her, did you?" Schwoz asked and Henry frowned in confusion.

"Tell her what?" Henry asked and Ray pulled them away so Bella couldn't hear.

"Drex is going to the wedding." Ray admitted and Henry's eyes grew in shock.

"WHAT?"

"RAY!?" Charlotte snapped as Jasper gasped dramatically.

Bella looked over at them and the boys smiled at her, before turning away.

"It's a long story, but Drex is on our side now and I invited him to the wedding," Ray explained and the three were still in shock.

"Drex? The same guy who spanked me, threatened to take my job, kidnapped Bella, turned her evil. Oh! Also he almost killed you?" Henry questioned and Ray and Schwoz shared a look with a nod.

"Pretty much."

"And you trust him?" Charlotte added.

"Yes. We good here?" Ray asked and went to walk away, but Henry grabbed his arm.

"Ray..." Jasper said. "Bella is not going to be happy. You really think she's going to be all right with this?"

"Drex really wants to go. And as her biological father I feel like he needs to see his first born get married," Ray shrugged and Henry made a face.

"First born?" Henry asked and Ray chuckled to Schwoz.

"You've missed so much! You remember Lil' Dynomite? Buddy?" Henry nodded. "That's his son. So, Bella's younger brother."

"I remember him." Jasper chuckled with a small smile. "Good kid."

Henry stood there in disbelief and shock. "Ray! Bella is going to lose her mind! You have to tell her now!"

Ray looked at Bella, who was smiling and laughing with her kids and then to Henry.

"You do it!" He pushed Henry forward and Henry panicked and pushed him forward.

"You tell her!"

"No you!"

The two began to argue and fight and Bella noticed this. However, she thought it was normal and shrugged it off.

"Oh stop it!" Charlotte smacked both boys and huffed. "Stop being babies. We have enough of those."

"Someone has to tell Bella." Jasper said and everyone shared a look, before Ray nodded.

"You're right." Ray exhaled and looked at Jasper. "Thanks for offering, buddy! See ya!"

Ray rushed out of the room.

"Appreciate it!" Henry followed Ray out.

"Toodles!" Schwoz waved and ran off.

"Wait!" Jasper called desperately as Charlotte was carefully walking away. "Char, come on-"

"I'm good." She smiled and waved at him as she rushed off. "Love you. Byeeeeee!"

Jasper stood there in shock, before turning to Bella. She was still playing with her babies and Violet, not even noticing what had happened.

He let out a giant exhale, before approaching Bella.

"Bella?" Jasper asked and she turned to him with a smile.

"Hey, Jasp." She greeted. "What's up?"

"Um," he nervously started, sitting down next to her. Violet walked over to him, placing her toy blocks on his lap. He smiled at the toddler for a brief second, before focusing back on Bella. "Do you know who is coming to the wedding?"

"Yes. I organized it. It's all my family and friends. Why?" She frowned.

Jasper cleared his throat, fiddling with the toy block. "No reason... I just wanted to make sure you liked everyone on the list."

"Of course I do." Bella remarked and then she raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Is there someone you don't like? Because I can make changes-"

"No, no." He stopped him, touching her hands. "No, it's not that. I just wanted to ask if you are aware of everyone that's coming to the wedding."

"Well, I am. And I am very excited. It's going to be the most perfect day." Bella giggled happily, nudging Jasper.

Jasper chuckled nervously at her and sighed silently. "So perfect."

He looked away, biting his nails anxiously.

——

~The Next Day~

The big day was here. Henry and Arabella are getting married.

To keep the groom and bride from seeing each other, Henry stayed over at his parents place along with all the guys. While all the girls stayed at the Man's Nest.

Bella was beyond excited, however, she was extremely nervous.

It was 7 AM. Bella rushed out where Charlotte, Mika, Terra, and Chapa were sleeping on the couch.

"IM GETTING MARRIED!" Bella screamed, waking up all the girls.

"Ah!" Mika shrieked, clutching her blanket.

"I can't see you! But I will attack!" Terra wearily threatened.

"I'm getting married!" Bella giggled and Mika smiled at Bella softly.

"Yes! Was are so excited for you, but can you post pone your excitement till like 10 am?" Chapa suggested with hint of irritation.

"Be glad I didn't do this at 5 am." Bella chuckled and yawned, stretching her arms. "Alright. I'll run back out later."

"We get it. You don't need to do it again." Terra remarked, chuckling.

"Don't tell me what to do. It's my wedding day."

"We know." The girls cut her off and Bella frowned.

"No need to be rude." Bella told them and Charlotte got up, approaching her.

"We are all excited, but as Chapa said we will be more excited in a few hours." Charlotte told her best friend, taking her shoulders.

"I know. I heard her say that. You don't need to repeat it, Char." Bella grinned at Charlotte, before walking out.

Charlotte frowned as she laid back down on her sleeping bag. "Why did I get the sass?"

"What are we gonna do about Drex?" Terra asked  Charlotte.

Charlotte sighed, clueless. "I'm not sure."

"Bella will be pissed." Chapa remarked. "It will ruin it."

"I know." Charlotte sighed.

"If he comes, Bella will literally kill him." Mika mentioned."

"I know." Charlotte nodded.

"We can't let Drex come." Terra objected.

"I know!" Charlotte snapped, sitting up frustrated. She sighed. "Let's worry later and sleep now."

The three teenagers shared nervous looks as Charlotte laid down, facing away from them. She shut her eyes, feeling million of rapid thoughts in her brain.

It didn't take long for the other girls to lay down and go to sleep.

Bella walked out from the back with a shocked look filled with despair. She let out a shaky breath, feeling it hitch as she walked away, feeling too many emotions.

——

"I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more..."

~11:30 AM~

Bella sat at her vanity, staring into the mirror as Charlotte did her hair. Bella was biting the inside of her cheek, barely shifting her gaze from her reflection.

"What are we gonna do about Drex?"

That sentence repeated in her mind over and over again. She couldn't think of anything else. Bella didn't know how to feel. She didn't know whether to feel angry, confused, sad, or betrayed.

She couldn't possibly imagine why Drex would be invited. Of all people.

It was 11:30 AM and the wedding is at 2 pm. Piper was flying in and should get here soon, while Eden was driving.

Bella was good at keeping a poker face, but after a while Charlotte was curious.

"Bella?"

"Hm?" Bella hummed, not moving her gaze. Her stare was so intense it could cut glass.

"You haven't really said much, are you alright?" Charlotte asked her as she curled a lock of her brown hair.

"Yes." Bella blankly replied and let out a big exhale. "Just trying to calm my nerves."

She wasn't lying. Bella was nervous, but marrying Henry wasn't her biggest worry. She was worried her biological father would ruin her big day.

"If you need to rant, I am here." Charlotte assured her and Bella glanced at her through the mirror to see Charlotte smiling.

Mary walked in holding her bridesmaid dress, greeting the girls with a smile.

"Hello, ladies." She brightly said. "How's it going?"

"Good. I am almost done with her hair." Charlotte remarked, curling the final piece of hair. "You are gonna look so beautiful, Bella."

Charlotte placed the curling iron down and grabbed Bella's shoulders, leaning down and looking through the mirror. Bella barely cracked a smile, her mind was racing too much to show any emotion.

"I know." Bella muttered and Charlotte's smile formed into a frowned.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Charlotte asked and this got Mary's attention.

"Nothing." Bella rolled her eyes. "Are we done with my hair?"

Bella's brown locks were curled and fell down her back with a few strands pined up with small red roses. Bella wanted simple and elegant.

"Yes. But this conversation isn't," Charlotte replied and spun the chair so Bella is facing her and Mary. "You were so excited this morning, what happened?"

"Yeah, I have never seen you this excited since when your father proposed to me." Mary crossing her arms. "Sweetie, talk to us."

Bella stammered her words, unable to form any sort of words. Bella didn't want to talk about it, but she had to and it would be good for her to tell them.

Bella looked down, fiddling with her engagement ring. "Um... I know Drex is coming..."

The name felt like poison when she said it. She hated him.

Mary and Charlotte shared a look as Bella continued to look down at her engagement ring, not saying any else.

"Oh." Mary softly nodded and Charlotte rubbed her neck.

"Well, uh-"

"You didn't tell me?" Bella looked up with alook of betrayal on her face. "Why would you invite him?"

Bella's words felt like knives digging into their skin. Bella felt so much hurt and betrayal.

"Listen, honey, if you let us explain-"

"No," Bella stopped them. Right as she said this, Terra, Chapa, and Mika walked in, but stopped talking when they saw Bella's upset stature. "You don't have to. You know what he has done to me, to us, how could you do that?!"

Bella raised her voice at them and the three Danger Force kids shared a look shock.

"He's changed! He helped us. He is good now!" Mary protested and Bella laughed in disbelief, shaking her head.

"Like I will believe that. No good he has done with cover up all the crap he put us through." Bella told her through gritted teeth. Tears pricked from her eyes. "He left me to die on the streets. He tried to kill my dad and Henry, he turned me evil twice. There is nothing that will make me see him as a good person."

Bella paused, all the girls to let her words sink in. Bella was now crying.

Bella looked at each of them individually and could see the regret on their faces, but Bella didn't care.

"I am not walking down that aisle with him in the audience. He has no right to watch me get married not after what he did." Bella's voice was now filled with sorrow, she could barely get words out.

"Bella, you just need to understand it's been years. He helped us, he isn't evil anymore." Mika reasoned and the brides looked at her.

"I don't care." Bella coldly told her and looked at her mother, who had a sorrowful expression on her face. Mary felt awful, she couldn't take back what had happened. "This was supposed to be my day. Henry and I's day. The happiest day of my life."

Bella sniffled, backing up to the door and Mary reached for her.

"Honey..."

"Don't." Bella shook her head and walked out the door.

Charlotte groaned, covering her face. Mary stood there, holding her stomach and feeling her heartbreak.

"What do we do?" Terra asked. "I can't feel Bella's footsteps any more, she must have left the Man's Nest."

"We can't have a wedding without the bride." Chapa shrugged. "We have to find her."

"If we find her now, she will just get more upset. And it will get worse," Charlotte reasoned, lifting her face up. She looked at Mary, who was dissociating.

Mary had tears falling from her eyes. She felt like her heart was ripped out, she kept replaying the memory of her daughter running away.

"Mary." Mika shook her shoulder and the superhero looked up, humming.

"Yes?"

"We have to find Bella." Mika told her and Mary nodded, wiping her eyes.

"Yes. Uh..." Mary sniffled, standing up and letting out a big exhale. "Okay, we have to call the guys. If anything, Henry can get her back."

"But they can't see each other." Mika reasoned.

"Honey," Mary grabbed her shoulder. "This is much more important than that. Charlotte, call Henry."

"On it." Charlotte walked out and Mary turned to the three teens. "Girls, everything will be alright, I promise." The three worried teens shared looks as she said this. "Terra, you go out and try to track Bella down. You are our best bet at finding her. Chapa, go with her."

Chaos and Terra immediately left together hand in hand and Mika looked at Mary for instruction.

"Mika, you and I are gonna make sure this wedding runs are smoothly as possible. But first-" Mary lashed and Mika's eyes lit up. "I need to use the bathroom."

Mary left the room and Mika stood there.

"What's one more crazy adventure, huh?"

——

Charlotte was on the phone.

"Henry?"

At his parents house, Henry styling his hair and jamming out to his music. Ray and Jasper were in the room as Miles and Bose were playing video games in the living room. Schwoz and Jake were downstairs with the teenagers.

"Hey, Char!" Henry smiled and put it on speaker phone. "Guys, Char is in the phone. Today is going to be amazing-"

"Yeah, about that. Bella ran away."

"What?!" The three boys asked simultaneously.

"What do you mean?!" Henry asked with worry, putting down his comb.

"Where's my daughter?!" Ray asked, grabbing the phone.

"She found out Drex was coming and ran off upset." Charlotte sighed. "Terra and Chapa left to find her."

"Crap." Henry cursed, rubbing his face. "I have to go find her."

Henry grabbed his phone and went to leave, but Ray grabbed his arm.

"Kid." Ray said and Henry looked back. "Bring her back safely."

"Don't I always?" Henry grinned, before he rushed out.

"Hurry back! You have a wedding to attend!" Jasper called and looked back at Ray.

Henry rushed downstairs were Bose and Miles were playing video games as Schwoz was ironing his suit with Jake Hart.

"Henry!" Schwoz called. "Want to see how nice your suit looks?"

"Sorry, Schwoz, I have to stop Bella from running away." Henry apologized, not stopping.

"What?" Miles asked as he paused his game.

"Why is Bella running away?" Schwoz asked with worry.

"Runaway bride? Woo!!" Bose cheered as Henry opened the front door.

"Not a good thing, Bose!" Henry snapped as he rushed out the door and slammed it shut.

Henry started tracking Bella on his phone, frantically typing on it.

"Don't worry, Princess, I'll find you."
