"Alistair, I don't think it's that," Rose chuckled, "I think the wedding bells and the cheering scared her."

"Oh." Alistair looked at his daughter once more. "I'm sorry Claudia."

Dirk actually laughed at this. "Ask her that and she'll probably punch you." He said in an amused fashion.

"I wouldn't really worry much." Ellery shook his head and smiled before leaning back. "I'm just glad I got this day as a break from Dante's training."

"Good god, Dante's training. At least he lightened up on me." Zephyr said, as Dante uses standard training equipment on her now.

Dante was walking around, patrolling near the improvised church, and nearly ran into Daphne. "Pardon me." Dante said, pirouette-ing to the side.

"You're lucky you're pregnant." Ellery deadpanned.

"So hey guys." Jared turned towards the others and waved. "You miss me?"

"You were gone?" Ellery raised an eyebrow before smirking. "I kid, how are you man."

"And I'm glad your brother finally lightened up on you." Dirk said with a smile.

A few minutes later everyone had now gathered in the auditorium which had now been organized and made out so that it could hold the reception for Alistair and Rose. "They really go all out." Ellery pointed out while drinking a can of soda.

"Yeah it's not half bad." Dirk said with a smile. He was still carrying Amber gently in his arm.

"Hey all, sorry I'm late." Daphne walked in wearing a little black dress. "I was just feeling a little under the weather." She explained.

"Well might I say you don't look it." Ellery smiled and turned to Daphne.

"That's because I slept most of the day." She smiled back. "Just woke up a half an hour ago to pull myself together for the reception." Daphne explained.

"So now you can take over baby duty." Dirk said hopefully. Daphne just giggled.

"I can see you're doing just fine." She said encouragingly.

"He is actually." Ellery nodded his head. "He hasn't shot anyone yet."

Calvin and Camille finally made their entry, both looking rather tired and stressed. Both were in somewhat formal wear, with Calvin in a black and white best outfit, and Camille in a white summer dress. "Sorry we're late, we were trying to teach Ciana how to dress properly." Calvin sighed out, wiping his forehead.

"And we had trouble finding something to wear, too." Camille groaned. "Ciana'll be here soon."

"I can tell how that could be troublesome." Ellery nodded his head in agreement.

"Well at least you guys were able to do it right?" Jared pointed out and looked at Calvin and Camille.

"Zephyr took away my .44 and froze the bullets." Dirk explained with a sheepish smile.

"Because that's totally the only thing you're packing." The dripping sarcasm in Daphne's tone was evident.

"Right." Dirk said in an attempt to sound like that was the truth.

Daphne just smiled brightly and leaned over, kissing Dirk gently on the cheek. "You're doing great." She said quietly. "Just like I knew you would."
