Baby Boy Henry - Chapter 36
Tumblr media
Word Count:1652
Warning: non
Chapter 36 The very moment the word left her lips it was like a match had been lit. People moved from every direction, happy chatter, and hustled movements until it was just Henry and Marnie left still gazing at each other. Standing up, Henry pulled Marnie into his arms, “Thank you. Thank you for saying yes.” They held each other for but a moment then Judy stepped into the room. Clearing her throat, she said with a cheeky grin, “Well, Henry, your transportation has arrived. We will see you soon.”
He turned his face towards Marnie kissed her on the forehead and whispered, “See you soon.” With that, he swiftly left the room leaving Judy with a mischievous grin on her face.
Both girls giggled at the turn of events. “Ohhh Ma, how romantic and to think we never thought we would get married. But here I am engaged and you about to walk down the aisle.”
The two embraced, hugging each other tightly until Joshie’s voice interrupted from the door, “Mummy, I got a special guest for Auntee Ma.” Both girls turned to look at the doorway as a fun, curly-haired woman bounced into the room running as quickly as she could in her dress to hug the stunned women.
“How?” was all Marnie could ask as Heidi hugged her tightly.
“Henry organised it, he let me know what he was planning and that it might backfire. I just laughed knowing you would say yes.” The energy she brought to the room was infectious and now the three women and Joshie bustled to get ready. Marnie was ready in her silver dress, both her bridesmaids Judy and Heidi were dressed in different shades of burgundy and Joshie had arrived sporting a cute little tux.
Just as they wondered what would happen next, Charlie poked his head in. “Your transport has arrived ladies.” They all followed Charlie out into the hall.
Their first surprise was the coats he handed them, stylish fax fur coats the dark grey complimenting the burgundy and a pure white one to compliment the silver. Stepping out into the cold they were grateful for the coats especially at what was before them. An open horse and carriage waited with four beautiful while mares holding their heads high. It was so regal. Charlie and the carriage owner helped the women and Joshie up into the carriage placing warm blankets over their legs. The five now seated the horseman gave a “giddi up” and they were on their way.
Marnie was expecting a small affair, maybe at their local parish, but the destination was further away. They continued to travel the cold wind painting her cheeks red. As they neared, the building that loomed ahead of them surprised her, and in awe, they pulled into the road leading to Mont Orgueil Castle. The castle was lit against the night time sky, the glow-giving a magical atmosphere. Marnie gasped holding Judy tight. “Am I dreaming Judy? Please tell me am I dreaming.” Her sister also stunned, kept gazing at the magnificent view.
A camera shuttered snapping her out of the stupor. Looking at Charlie who was sitting across from her, his cheeky grin making it almost impossible to be mad at him. “That was perfect, Hank will love that picture.”
They pulled up to the main entrance, where attendants helped them all down from the carriage. Marnie thanked the horseman and walked to the mares caressing them one at a time. “Thank you, precious ones. Thank you.” From the moment Charlie stepped off the carriage she heard the camera clicking away, but from here on in she was going to ignore it. She wanted to savour every moment tonight. Leaving the horses, the Bride and her entourage headed into the building.
She felt like a princess, the building was just as she would expect from a castle. It felt grand and she felt regal, dressed in her silver ball gown the sound of her shoes echoing around the chamber as they reached the ceremony hall. Giggling to herself, she wondered how much of a fool Henry would have looked if she had said no. This must have taken a lot of planning.
Joshie entered the room, as he disappeared, she heard a lone violin begin to play a haunting tune. It whispered to her heart drawing her in, calling to her. One by one they disappeared into the room until it was just her. Breathing in deep she shut her eyes and pictured her prince, his chiselled jaw, cleft chin, the strong arms that had even when he was little made her feel cherished and safe. Then she saw his eyes, his deep blue eyes with the glittering of brown that held her captive telling her it was ok. Opening her eyes, she stepped into the room, it was intimate, with candles lighting the darkness. The small crowd of family members surrounded the altar where Henry stood, Kal sitting proudly by his side. He turned, his eye’s resting on her as the music gentled to a lilting pull, wrapping around her and drawing her towards him.
Each step was like a dream, the candlelight flicking across his face illuminating the sheen of unshed tears in his eyes. She reached his side as the priest said, “you may be seated.” Turning to face Henry he reached out and took her hands. His need to be connected to her, reciprocated by her own sigh of relief. Smiling, her thumb brushed his skin, a gently soothing motion to say ‘I’m here. They turned slightly at the command of the priest as he began to speak to them about the weight of what they were committing to.
She turned back to Henry the rest of the room disappearing as the old priests voice resonated throughout the space, “1 Corinthians 13:4 through 1 Corinthians 13:7 tells us some of the characteristics of true love: Love is not selfish or self-centred. It is kind, humble, forgiving, courteous, not easily angered, respectful, trusting, positive and hopeful. It also gives us spiritual resilience and patience so that it willingly ‘endures all things’ to obey and serve God. So should we strive to bring these attributes to our relationships? To prefer each other, to lift each other up not tear each other down.”
As his voice continued she dwelt on the words spoken. Everything they had gone through, the bizarre circumstances that bought them together, the attributes that they had based all things on were trust, respect, and forgiveness, they had been the cornerstones that continued to support their relationship.
Pulled out of her internal reflection she heard Henry as he said, “I, Henry William Daglish Cavill, take you, Marnie Joy Blackman, as my partner in life. In joy and sadness, in riches and in lack, in health and sickness, big or little, for as long as I hold breath in my lungs.” He smiled at her as Charlie handed him a gold band to place in front of the engagement ring that had only just been given a home.
Smiling and encouraging the priest handed her a card, looking down she saw the vows in a neat script printed for her to read. Holding his gaze she said softly, “I, Marnie Joy Blackman, take you Henry William Daglish Cavill, as my partner in life. In joy and sadness, in riches and in lack, in health and sickness, big or little, for as long as I hold breath in my lungs.” Tears streamed down both their faces as she took his ring from Charlie and placed it on his shaking hand.
The priest’s voice rang clear, “I now pronounce you Husband and Wife you may kiss your bride.”
Tenderly, Henry took Marnie’s face in his hands. Leaning down he touched her lips to his. Pulling back a cheeky smirk replaced the smile as he returned his lips to hers, no longer tender but a passionate kiss that had his family hooting. The exuberant voice of Heidi clamouring above the fray, “Whot Whot! Get a room you two!”
Giggling Marnie and Henry both coloured deep red as they faced their family. “May I present to you Mr and Mrs Cavill.” smiling Marnie bent down and scratched Kals ear “good boy, you were so quiet” Henry laughed “of course he was I think he wanted you as a mummy too” she joined in on his laughter as the three walked down the aisle, quickly ushered into a stunning reception room.
“Henry, this is beautiful,” she whispered as they took in the room.
Tumblr media
Four round tables decorated in white linen with delicate flower arrangements decorated the centres. Candles continued the previous theme, lighting the room and creating an intimate setting. Happy voices followed them in as they were seated at the table of honour. Henry settled Kal at their feet handing him a treat “Good boy, gooood boy,” Henry crooned as Kal happily laid down watching. Sighing Marnie leant into Henry, his arm, wrapping around her shoulders. Contented they watched as the dearest people who held their hearts ate, talked and shared in their celebration. If you asked Marnie what was said that night she could not tell you, the only thing on her mind once they sat was the constant physical contact she held with Henry. His hands never stopped touching her, her shoulders, her hands, and her thigh, a gentle caress away from prying eyes. Leaving her feeling a building heat and need to have him alone all to herself.
