My love grows for you with every beat of my heart -- September 1998

I smiled to the group and nodded to Remus when he came in. I almost couldn't take it anymore I just wanted everyone to see Sirius. It would be wonderful. Then I wouldn't be sworn to secrecy anymore. It was killing me!

I was going to go out with Remus after, " I'll see you out there honey." I said to Elena as I walked over to Ember. " You'll be walking out with the groom right?" I asked her.

I laughed, staying right in step with Padfoot in case he felt unsteady or anything.  "I'm concerned my sister is going to kill me after the wedding.  So I guess it's a good thing that there's a grave ready for me already..."  I was joking, but my sister scared me.  So yeah... I was a little nervous with dealing with her.

"I'm sure your uncle won't let you," I said to her as I gave her another quick kiss.  I also heard Dean say his parting words.  Once we were in the hallway I turnd to him.  "All systems are a go..."

I looked at Chloe adn nodded.  "Yeah, George will be taking me down," I replied.  I thought that was really cute... but ti also reminded me that Sirius wasn't here for this either.

I grinned at Uncle Remus.  "So the eagle has left the nest?"  I clarified.  I enjoyed our use of code words and whatnot... made it more entertaining to say the least.

I laughed and rolled my eyes.  "Yes," I said.  "Now go get in place, I'll handle everything out here.  It's really getting close... they better make it on time."  I knew how James and Sirius used to dawdle in school... I swear, if they dawdled now, they'd both end up in comas.

We had all grabbed the bouquets, this was fantastic. Elena looked beautiful George was going to die once he saw her.

I nodded and went off to the men's dressing room again.  I opened the door and walked over to George.  "The eagle has left the nest... ETA... soon.  It's getting close... we're all going to be needing to get into places soon."  I really hoped that Elena wouldn't freak out with Uncle James not going in to see her yet...

I had gotten to the church with Prongs as he seemed to think I am breakable. " Prongs I'm good..." I said as I got out of the car with some struggle. I was good to go, We were waiting for Remus to let us in.

I had been wondering where on earth is uncle James. " Where is my uncle?" I asked around the room hoping someone would know where he was. It was soon and the person that was supposed to walk me down the aisle was no where to be seen.

I grinned.  "Excellent... well boys, let's get out there.  I have the honor of walking a lovely woman up the aisle and then the privilege of walking down the aisle with her daughter.  I better not be late," I said, as all of us men started to pour into the hallway.  I felt like there was just a massive swarm of people.  I saw Ember and walked up to her.  I offered her my arm.  "We will be going in shortly," I said, smiling at her.

I glanced up at the clock as I stood beside my wife.  I smiled at her.  "It's almost time..."  I really hoped that they made it here.  I wouldn't know until I saw them walking down the aisle.

"Honey, he'll be in here shortly... but I have to get out there so we don't have a groom coming in here searching for me."  I gave my daughter a kiss.  "Dont worry... Uncle James would never let you down."  I squeezed her hand and went out into the hallway where I saw the entire wedding party being ushered into place.  I smiled at George when he came over.  "Well, don't I have a handsome escort."

I saw that everyone was out of the bridal staging area except for, of course, the bride.  I opened the back door and saw James an dSirius.  "You better hurry up... she's going to freak out," I told them.
