***Natalia***

 

My heart flutters as I wait for my cue to walk down the aisle, knowing that in a few short minutes, I will officially be Zane’s wife.

“Talia,” Gwen murmurs, carrying a small gift box in her hands.

“Vanessa had this delivered for you. Toran says she couldn’t make it, but she wanted you to know that she’s happy for you.”

I take the box from her hand, and stare at it for a moment, not knowing how to feel about her absence. I had thought long and hard about sending an

invitation to my sister and finally decided I would leave the choice up to her.

There is a small note attached to the box and I read it to myself.

To my dear sister, I know it is not much, but I hope you and your daughter love it as much as you and I did.

With love, Nessa.

Untie the ribbon and remove the lid, tears filling my eyes as I look inside.

“What is it?” Gwen asks, pulling a handkerchief from her dress pocket. I pull out the small music box with two little cats sitting on the lid and crank the kn*b until the song, “Memories,” begins to play and I watch the little cats dance around the lid through my tears.

“When I was little, my mother had this exact music box. She would play it for us to go to sleep every night,” I smile as I wipe my tears.

“She used to tell us a story of the two little cats on the lid,” I giggle.

“They were sisters named Natalia and Vanessa and they loved each other very much.” I stare at the box in disbelief.

“It broke years ago. The music wouldn’t play anymore and I was devastated because I had always dreamt of playing it for my own children.” I shake my head as I wipe my tears.

“I can’t believe she found it.”

“That’s a lovely gift,” Gwen murmurs, helping me to carefully wipe my tears.

“But now we must keep you sane for your wedding.” nod at her and fight to compose myself, carefully putting the music box back in its box and powdering my face.

“Okay, my lovely,” Gwen sighs, cradling little Quoia in her arms and grabbing a small basket of flower petals.

My beautiful Maid of Honor wears a forest green dress with a flowing skirt to accentuate her cute baby bump, and her fiery red hair is tamed within a romantic braid and flowers.

“Are you ready, Talia?” She asks and I give her a bright smile.

“You look beautiful. He is so lucky to have you,” she smiles in return.

“Dakota, are you ready?” she giggles at the dancing pup.

He grins back at her, holding up an empty pillow in his hand.

“Kota, where are the rings?” Gwen asks in restrained panic.

“They kept falling off when I danced,” Kota explains as he breaks into a silly dance.

“So! put them in my socks,” he grins, Gwen and I both sighing in relief as he rolls his pants up past his ankles where two lumps stick out from his socks.

“Okay, but you need to put them on the pillow so you can give them to Daddy,” Gwen chuckles, getting into position to make her entrance.
