The Gift- Complete

30

I will admit. I think I look adorable in that photo

"How? How do you look so cute in all your photos whilst I look like this?" Mason yelled holding up his photo

"Awww. Mama showed us that years ago. Said they kept trying to take photos but you kept sticking your tongue out every time. Eventually they didn't have enough money for another and had to stick with that ugly face" I said. He ruffled my hair and everyone laughed at the photos

"You really were weird mason" Charlie said looking at each photo

"Cheers for that" my brother said sarcastically

"You are so handsome" esme said looking at the photo. She showed us and everyone agreed. This is the one photo mason every liked

"And look at this one" she said handing me a photo

I smirked at it and put it down on the table for others to see

"Gorgeous" Tommy said ruffling my hair. Thanks Tom. Thanks. We looked at the photos but decided to look at the other stuff in private. We had no idea what it was so didn't feel like sharing it just incase

"We should get going. Busy day tomorrow" Arthur said standing up with Linda. Me and Mason froze

"What?" We both said at the same time

"I'm very sorry but you can't sit on your arses tomorrow your majesties because sometimes you actually have to do things you don't want to" Arthur said sarcastically

"Ye but not for another...I don't know 30 years?" Mason said shrugging. We stood up and went with Arthur and Linda home. When we got there, we sat on the sofa and had a drink. It was 3 o'clock but I've had a long morning so I kept yawning

"Daddy, why we gotta leave the house tomorrow?" I asked leaning my head on his shoulder ready to fall asleep

"Mason, you will need a tux and you my dear need a dress" he said

"What for?" Mason asked bouncing a ball against the wall repeatedly and catching it

"For the erm...the wedding" he said quietly. We both jumped up

"Noooo" we said loudly. Linda rolled her eyes as did Arthur

"You are and that's final. Plus, I'll buy you the best clothes ever. Anything you want. And matching shoes. Come on lyd, thought you loved getting new clothes" he said

"I do. But wedding clothes are different. It doesn't matter how nice they are, people seem to base them off comfort. It could be a lovely dress but if it's comfy, them it's like 'No its not appropriate' but if it's uncomfy then it's all 'yes it's perfect'. So I will go as long as I don't have to wear something that breaks my ribs, itches, is too heavy, too tight or so long that I trip over" I said extremely fast to the point where Arthur's eyes were wide open from shock

"It's a deal. Mason?" Mason groaned

"Please" he begged

"Fine. I'll get a stupid tux. But same rules apply. It's gotta be comfy" he said

"That's fine" he agreed

"Are you coming aswell Linda?" I asked trying to be polite

"Of course. I want to approve the dress before we buy it. This is the happiest day of our lives after all. Want everything to be perfect" she said

"Your lives. Don't say our because I'm afraid it isn't the happiest day of mine and lyds life" Mason said

"Your father getting married isn't the happiest day of your life? The what on earth is?" She asked

"The day we got adopted. Ya know, when he actually became our dad" I said making Arthur smile

"Happiest day of my life aswell" he said putting his arm around us both

"Excuse me? B...but our wedding won't be the happiest day of your life?" Linda asked as she began to cry and storm out. Arthur huffed but stood up to go after her

"Either she's pregnant or needs help" Mason whispered to me

"Needs help. I refuse to believe we will end up with a mini satan" i said making him nod in agreement
