Some months had passed since that whole fiasco happened with Janet and her filthy brothers and also, some months had passed since I met Oswald. I could safely say that things actually got better after I met him; I was finally able to buy a run - down resort on the East Coast of Sunset Valley and after months of renovation, get it up to standards and hire staff!
I decided to change the Cronwell's Cabana to a Spanish resort, which was a huge attraction for the tourist industry.
Business was booming and I spent most of my day at the Resort doing paper work, recruiting staff, and maintaining the maintenance crew so much that I hadn't even seen my family or even called Oswald back for the past few months.
Although I felt like I hadn't talked to anyone but my new cats in a while and made me feel lonely, I also felt accomplished of what I achieved as well!
''How are you today Miss. Cronwell?'' Brenda asked me. Brenda was my most hard working and reliable employee at Cronwell's Cabana and was always up and ready for another day at work.
''I'm doing great thank you, Brenda! It's my brother's wedding today so I need you to keep an eye on this place for the rest of the evening, is that okay?'' I asked her.
''Ah yes, Ceallach is his name? Good luck to him and his soon - to - be wife! And of course, I'd be more than okay to keep charge of this place for tonight.''
''Oh that's great, oh and one more thing -.'' I replied to her, shortly before being held up by my phone buzzing in my pocket. ''One minuet Brenda.''
''Jubi! Hey! I know I know, I'm late, I'll be there soon!'' I assured Jubilee as I knew this was about to scream down the phone, demanding me to come down to the Chapel.
''You better be, the service starts in half an hour! And oh remember to pick up your wedding dress at your mum's house, she told Ceallach that it's in the Living hung up by the bird cage.'' She told me, directing me to my bridesmaid dress.
''Oh god, I almost forgot about the dress, thanks a lot!'' I replied, thanking her.
''I knew you would, that's why I had to reaming you!'' She said, before being interrupted by Creig calling her over. '' - I gotta go Stell, see you soon!'' She said, hanging up before I got a chance to say bye!
''Well lookie over there Creig, Auntie Stella actually made it, on time!'' Jubilee sarcastically said to Creig as she tickled him at the same time.
''Very funny Jubi, very funny!'' I replied to Jubilee, narrowing my eyes at her sarcastic statement. She winked at me and of course I couldn't help but laugh a bit, everything today seemed to be just be a bit of a joke, except the actual wedding of course!
Jubilee sat little Creig down for him to play with his toys as she adjusted her dress and look in the mirror, both critiquing her dress and her growing belly.
They both decided to try for a baby some few months back and probably within a few weeks or so, Jubilee found out she was pregnant! Unfortunately, they both received some negative views from the public about creating a second baby out of marriage but honestly, they just brushed it off and stayed strong, which was great! The fact that people are still judgmental about having children out of marriage, even if the couple is in a secure relationship but just not married was absolutely horrible! Jubilee and Ceallach both loved each other very much and the fact is that they're bringing another lovely child into this world, isn't that the real priority here, and not marriage?
On the other hand, Jubilee was having some doubts about her image right before the ceremony ...
''Oh god, look at me, I look like a freaking whale!'' She said, sighing slightly.
''No you do not! You look absolutely beautiful! The bump just makes you look even better!'' I reassured her.
''Are you sure ...?'' She asked nervously.
''I'm positive! You're not pregnant, you're glowing!'' I replied.
''Aww!'' She said happily, waddling over to me and giving me a big hug. ''You're honestly the greatest friend I could ever ask for.'' As she said that, I looked in the mirror at myself, then thought of Janet shaking her head at me in dismay.
Somehow, I wanted Janet to forgive me, after all, she was my best friend ... But that was never going to happen, I hurt her, and she hurt me. The only true friend to me now was Jubilee.
''So are you darling, so are you!'' I replied.
After helping Jubilee with the finishing touches to hers and Creig's outfits, I went back upstairs into the main hall to check everything was well set up to standards, only to see Ceallach sitting in the front isle, staring blankly out the window and into the Sunset.
''Your alright Ceallach?'' I asked. He was obviously startled by someone suddenly talking and he jumped up in fright.
''Er - Yeah ... Everything's fine ...'' He said, however I could clearly see he was lying.
''No everything's not fine, I know you Ceallach, what's wrong? Are you having Pre - Wedding jitters?'' I questioned, having no idea as to why he was so worried looking.
''Oh no, it's not that ... '' He replied.
''Well what is it?'' I asked once more, becoming even more worried.
''I-I still haven't told Jubilee that I'm Bi - Bisexual ...'' She stuttered out, rubbing his head in awkwardness.
'' You haven't done what!? Ceallach you're getting married to her in a matter of minuets! She pregnant with your second child! She deserves to know!'' I said, looking just as worried as he was, even thinking this wedding may turn a wrong way.
''I know, I know she does. I - I just can't tell her, I can't face up to it ...'' He replied, looking blankly at the floor.
''Well you have to, you can't not tell her!'' I replied, shaking him to get his attention.
''I know ...'' He said, sighing.
''Look ...'' I said in desperation, feeling quite sorry for him. '' ... I'm sure she'll accept you, and besides, she probably know, you know, you're quite feminine!''
''Hey, rude!''
''I'm joking! But seriously, would you promise me something?'' I asked him.
''Depends, what is it?'' He asked me.
''At least tell her soon, before the baby is born. You can't leave it to ten, twenty years down the line when they're all grown up otherwise your future marriage could fall apart. Promise me you'll tell her soon?'' I pleaded.
''Fine, I'll tell her soon ...'' He agreed, smiling slightly at me.
''Thank you, now get your ass inside that arch, it's time to get married to the love of your life!'' I said, hugging him with excitement.

The ceremony luckily went perfectly. Our family and friends arrived at the perfect time and everything actually went right for once. I could see Jubilee was over the moon to marry my brother, her eyes became teary a bit as my brother slid the gold ring on her finger.
My brother paced his hands on her belly as I heard her whisper in his ear that the baby was kicking. After that Jubilee slid the matching ring on his finger and they both kissed each other.
''I love you so much, Jubilee.'' Ceallach said softly, hugging her passionately. Our dad screamed out ''Awww!'' and everyone looked around at him in anger from disturbing the ceremony!
''Dad, shut up! You're disturbing the ceremony!''
''Well I'm sorry, I'm a sucker for romance!'' He mouthed to me, getting the idea that he needed to keep quiet. We both laughed silently at each other then payed our attention back on Ceallach and Jubi.
As their official kiss signaled that they were finally married, everyone jumped up in joy and and clapped at the romantic sight. The wedding bells rang in the night sky and it almost felt the whole of Sunset Valley knew my brother and his now wife were married!
The greatest gift of all was the fact that our grandparents were still alive to witness this amazing day! Grandma Cassidy had been sick for some while, suffering from many illnesses, however she was able to make it to the wedding, along with our ever so enthusiastic Granddad Harrison! You'd think at ninety years old a man couldn't be this enthusiastic!
The cutting of the wedding Cake soon occurred once everyone was out of the Church halls. Jubilee was smiling away as she held the special knife with her husbands hand as company, as it slid into the white velvet Cake.
''Three cheers to the happy couple!'' My mum shouted out, becoming just a bit tipsy on the Champagne!
''Hip hip, hurray! Hip hip, hurray! Hip hip, hurray!''

Hours passed on and everyone was in such a lively and enthusiastic mood. I was casually sipping out of my glass of Champaign, looking at the illuminating moon and the cliff edge before my dad stood next to me.
''So Stella, when do you plan on getting married?'' He asked me, as a huge grin emerged on his face!
''That depends that, I need a boyfriend first ...'' I replied.
''How about that Oswald guy you told me about, he seemed pretty genuine ...?'' He asked.
''Hmm, maybe. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.'' I said slowly because I got side tracked ... Thinking about Oswald.

As the night ended and I got back to my house, I looked at one of the wedding pictures we took in the photo booth and smiled at it.
It seemed my brother, and I finally found some sense of happiness.

Thank you so much for reading Chapter 11 of The Cronwell Legacy! I really hoped you enjoyed it and if you did, please leave a comment and I'll be sure to reply!
Just a little notice, I'm starting a new school next week along with some of my friends and I feel there might be some changes in terms of the time I post the chapter, I know it's already a bit messed up now but that just caused by procrastination. I'll most likely post on Sunday's from now, so I have time to take pictures on Friday & Saturday and then write & post on Sunday!
Hope that's okay with you guys, Thanks :)
OMG! It is so beautiful wedding. I love them. Especially the final photo. It is very beautiful.
