A Marriage Contract

Chapter 30

Eliza's POV-

I looked in the mirror once more adjusting my hat. My costume was themed 1920's.

I was wearing a dark blue suit dress and holding a smoke pipe. It was ofcourse not lit. Most of this outfit was thrifted.

An hour ago Vincent had gone to Thomas's room to get ready and hadn't returned. I was still curious about which joker he was.

The thought itself of him in joker outfit was funny.

"Ma ma," Jamie said.

He was seated on my bed playing with his toys. I had put pillows all around him to stop him from escaping.

I had already dressed him.

"Yes, baby?" I asked.

"Mi mi." He babbled.

"You're hungry, huh? You want some mi mi?" I slowly placed the bottle of baby formula in hi hands.

He flashed me toothless smile.

"Aww, how cute is my baby...." I pinched his cheeks.

"Hey! I am cute too!" Lily's voice came from behind me.

"When did you come here?" I asked.

My mom was the one who dressed her in her outfit.

"I need you help." She said.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Do you have any jewellery for this?" She asked.

"Let me check." I said. I looked in my jewellery drawer.

"Mommy, you look beautiful." She said.

"Thank you baby. You look pretty too." I said.

"Did you see appa yet?" She asked.

"No, did you?" I asked.

"No." She sounded disappointed.

"Here it is!" I pulled out the old locket I had from my childhood.

After I got Lily ready all three of us went downstairs. The family was gathered there already.

My parents were dressed as Victor and Emily from the corpse bride.

"Let me take a picture of my grandkids." Umma said and took Jamie from me.

I swear to god I haven't been able to spend any time with the kids these two days.

"Where is Vincent?" Appa asked.

"I don't know." I said.

"But I do." Thomas walked down the stairs in his costume.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"Ah, Noona, shhhhh. Let me make the announcement." He said.

He cleared his throat.
