My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Angela was fully in big-sister mode, running the show and making sure every single detail was perfect.

Serenity and Alden approached the newlyweds to congratulate them-they'd barely made it on time, sliding in at the last minute thanks to Moriarty's fast-track wedding orders.

"Back in Valentia again! Only this time... with a baby on the way," Serenity said with a teasing smile.

"When are you heading back to New Zealand?" Alden asked curiously.

"There won't be any more New Zealand trips," Amanda said. "We talked to Moriarty—well, mostly Lucius did—and we're staying in Valentia."

"Seriously? That must've made Maximus's heart explode with joy!" Serenity said, surprised.

"I guess so, though the pregnancy probably hit him like a cold bucket of water at first," Amanda added with a smile.

"I can't even picture it. Just imagining Dad's face..." Serenity said, making a face. "Well, let's just say he handled it pretty well," Lucius said, shrugging.

"Moriarty's not the kind of man you joke around with," Alden added, remembering his own tense moments.

"So, where are you going for your honeymoon?" Serenity asked, circling back to the big day.
