[AN: So I promised Jordan that for the next few chapters I will only write fluff chapters. No drama. This is going to be so hard. Here is my best effort! <3 Bekah]
[LOUIS’ POV][SEVERAL WEEKS LATER]
“Li Bear stop tickling me!” Annabelle giggled from the living room couch.
“No way Anna Banana,” Liam cooed back to her as he tickled her mercilessly.
I rolled my eyes. Don’t get me wrong. I’m thrilled that we got Anna back and all. Angelica is happier, and I like when she is happy. But the lovey-dovey talk is getting ridiculous at this point. They go everywhere together as well. I would bet good money she goes to the bathroom with Liam too.
“Hey Dad,” Angelica said walking up next to me. “What are you thinking?”
“Do they sell anti-nausea meds for people that are nauseated by their friends’ love lives?” I asked honestly.
“Nope,” she replied with a sassy grin. “I checked. Trust me, I want it to stop too, but unfortunately I don’t have the heart. They’re just so happy together.”
“Remind me again why she had to move into our house?” I asked. Angelica smiled at me once again.
“She sold the house next door remember? Besides she will leave soon, and she will take Liam with her.”
“And how are you so sure of that?” I asked my now grinning daughter.
“Because they won’t live here once they get married.”
“What if they don’t get married?” Angelica shot me a look and pointed to Liam and Annabelle who were now seated facing one another exchanging tiny little kisses. I guess that was my answer. “So what are your plans for the day?”
“Well I was supposed to have a girls’ day with Annabelle and Mum, but I have a feeling Anna will be bowing out.” I smiled at the fact that she referred to Eleanor as her mum. She had started doing so the last week, and I loved hearing her accept El as a future guardian. Maybe one day I would have the guts to propose to my girlfriend. [AN: Can I just say this? I think El and Louis are the cutest thing ever!!!]
“I’M HERE!” Eleanor shouted out entering the house as if our discussion of her had made her appear.
“MUM!” Angelica cried out racing forward to embrace Eleanor. El’s face flushed with happiness that I understood. It was the same happiness I felt every single time Angie called me “dad.”
“You ready to go get pedicures?” El asked finally pulling out of the hug. “Then I think we should do some shopping.”
“Sure mum,” Angie smiled grabbing her purse. “Let’s go.”
“Just a sec,” El smiled walking up to me and giving me a quick smooch. “Love you Lou.”
“Love you too El,” I said returning the kiss.
“Now Annabelle Janine Hunter get your lips off of that boy and grab your jacket now!” El shouted glaring at Anna and Liam.
“But Li Bear—“ Annabelle started to protest.
“I don’t care if Li Bear discovered the meaning of life. You have spent enough time with your lips glued to his. Some of the rest of us would like to spend some time with you. And I’m sure Liam can manage to breathe, eat, and use the loo on his own.” Angelica and I broke down laughing as El’s words sank in. Annabelle just sat there pouting.
“She’s right Anna Banana,” Liam said prodding her towards the door. “Besides you can always text me if you get lonely.” Like El was going to let that happen. Five minutes later the girls finally left leaving Liam and I alone in the room together.
“Li, can I ask you something?” I finally choked out. If anyone could help me out it would be Liam.
“Go ahead Lou,” he smiled. Liam was all smiles these days.
“How did you know you wanted to marry Annabelle?” Liam froze and stared at me in confusion.
“Excuse me?”
“I know you haven’t proposed yet, but it’s inevitable right?”
“Anna and I aren’t getting married.”
“Well not right now, but eventually you will.”
“No. There is no need for me to get married to Annabelle.” Okay now I was confused. Liam sighed and explained simply. “We are already married.”
“YOU’RE WHAT?!?!” the voices of the boys echoed around me.
[ANNABELLE’S POV]
“Anna I asked you if you wanted green or pink toes,” Angie practically shouted as she waved her hand on front of my face. “Give me that stupid phone!” She yanked the phone from my fingers where I had been sending Liam a loving text.
“Give that back!” I reached out as El pulled me back by my waist to keep me from getting my phone back. Angie quietly handed it to Perrie who carelessly tossed it into her glass of water.
“Ooops,” Perrie said with a giggle.
“I hate all of you!” I practically screeched. “Now I need to get a new phone. What if Liam calls me?”
“We are having a girls’ day,” Angie pouted. “Boys are not a part of it. Now pick your nail color!” I burst out in a fit of giggles as she turned red with her shouting. Angelica really had stepped up to the plate when it came to finally speaking her mind. She was just like any girl you might meet on the street. Strike that. She is not like any girl you might ever meet which makes her even more special than anyone else.
“Um….I pick green. With sparkles,” I choked out.
“Perfect,” Angelica said turning and shoving me into the pedicure chair. All the girls sat down and chatted for a bit, but they all kept staring over at me.
“Okay…what is it? You are all staring at me like I’m some kind of crazy freak,” I chuckled.
“This isn’t actually a girls’ day,” Perrie said calmly. “We all wanted to talk to you about something.”
“What?” I asked.
“We need to talk about where you and Liam will be moving to,” Eleanor said softly with a grin. Moving? I wasn’t planning to move anywhere.
“I was cleaning your room as part of my punishment for staying out past curfew with Harry and Niall last week and found this,” Angie said holding a small piece of paper out for me to see. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the words printed on the sheet of paper in front of me.
Certified Copy of An Entry of Marriage
Annabelle Janine Hunter and Liam James Payne
Married in Hyde Park, London on the 24th day of March 2010
“Want to tell us something Annabelle?” Perrie asked with a giggle. I smiled and sighed deeply.
“Have you guys ever heard of a mass wedding?” I asked softly. They all shook their heads no indicating I needed to continue my story. I left my mind go back to that day telling them the story of how I married Liam Payne.
[THREE YEARS AGO]
“Li Bear!” I giggled happily. “We should head back. You’re supposed to be rehearsing in twenty minutes.” Liam had insisted on taking me out for the day to celebrate the successful completion of my very first novel. One day I could be a well-known author. My editor was thrilled with what I had turned in.
“I wonder what’s going on over there,” Liam said pulling me closer to a crowd of people swarming a stage in the middle of the park.
“Maybe there is a group that rivals One Direction,” I joked.
“Not funny Anna Banana.” A cheer rose up from the crowd as the man onstage with a microphone said something. We stood surrounded by crowds of people as a document on a clipboard was thrust into our hands. “What is this?” Liam asked signing the form.
“Probably some petition,” I said giggling as I signed below his signature.
“Congratulations on your marriage,” a man in a suit said handing the form back to us after stamping it. I looked at Liam mirroring his face with shock. We were just married?!?
[BACK TO PRESENT DAY]
“It’s not that funny,” I protested with a deep blush on my face. The girls sat in their pedicure chairs rolling with laughter. “We thought it was some kind of petition.”
“And you just sign all petitions without reading them?” Eleanor chortled.
“Not anymore,” I blushed deeper.
“Why didn’t you tell anyone?” Angie asked.
“I buried the document in my journal, and we both promised to never speak of it again. It wasn’t a real ceremony right? Right?” They all froze and studied the document I held.
“Babe,” El said softly. “I hate to tell you this, but this document is completely official. The fans are going to freak.”
“For the last three years you have been Mrs. Liam Payne and no one ever knew,” Perrie chuckled.
“Well we need to fix this!” Angie said happily. Did she want to annul the marriage? I wasn’t sure I could take it if that was the case. It hadn’t been my dream wedding, but I didn’t want to see it go away either.
“Fix it how sweetie?” El asked.
“By throwing them the best wedding ever!!!” Angie shouted loudly. We all cheered happily talking amongst ourselves about wedding plans for the rest of the day. Eleanor and Perrie dropped us off at the front door of the house.
“Thank you Angie,” I said smiling as we unlocked the door and walked inside. “This is going to be a lot of fun. For you too.”
“For me?” Angie asked. “How so?”
“You get to have a date for the wedding.”
“A date?”
“Yeah. So who are you going to choose? Niall or Harry?” Angie froze and I turned to see who she was staring at. Oh dear. I really needed to keep my big mouth shut.
“Yeah Angie,” Niall said.
“Who are you going to choose?” Harry asked. Angelica leveled me with a dark stare.
Yep. Definitely finding some duct tape to seal my mouth shut with. And quick.
[AN: Oh man. Well I couldn’t completely stay away from drama. But I did get nauseatingly lovey dovey for you all. And for some reason there was a surprise wedding. I have no idea where in my brain that idea came from…]
