Strike
Thressa sat at the table that morning with Alana after breakfast was done and the dishes were cleaned up, both doodling on their own pieces of paper.
Alana reached over with one finger and tapped her mom on the shoulder.
"Poke."
was all she said.
Thressa looked up from her doodle, crossed here eyes at Alana and stuck her tongue out.
She reached over and with one finger tapped alana on her side.
"Double poke."
Alana giggled.
" Don't! I asked you not to do that to my side any more it tickles too much."
Alana fake puoted.
"Oh Alana stop it it was a joke."
"I know oh yeah and poke infinity no poke backs!"
" Aaaaaand, potato."
"Whatcha drawing mom?"
Alana asked playfully.
"Well, I will show you, but you show me yours first i wanna see your new creature, and you can tell me all about him."
Alana was excited.
"This is Chipzeon, i don't know his stats yet hes new but i do know hes a rare evelution to an evee."
"He's so cute! Can I have him to add to my collection?"
Thressa asked as usual.
"Sure, I can create more."
Alana got up and grabbed her mom's paper, her face looked confused and puzzled.
"Mrs. Johnny Depp, and Thressa Depp, and ALANA DEPP? Mom, have you gone off the deep end? what does this all mean? Are you two getting married?"
" Honey, I didnt think youd be interested in my doodle, just thought youd go play your games when we were done with your picture, but yes, Johnny and I are planning on getting married, when, I dont know, just that we are, how do you feel about that?"
" Weeeeellll, I am kinda pissed you didnt tell me sooner, I AM 14, you know, i could have handled it, but yeah he's nice. we can keep him."
Thressa smiled from the apporval. the ONLY one that counted, Alana's.
At that moment they both looked up at a scuffel at the door way, it was Johnny, he had heard th whole discussion.
" Thank you for your approval Alana, I love you too."
"Babe we neet to talk, its nothing bad, but I really need to fly to Paris right now!"
"What's wrong Johnny?"
"Well, you know i have kids too, Jack and Lilly Rose, and their mom has kept me from them for a while now, but she has Fallen ill with Pnumonia and doesnt want them to catch it from her, She appololgized for everything and wants to talk as well."
Thressa looked a bit sad.
"Alana honey, will you go watch t.v. or somthing?"
" No, mom, I'm not going to stand here and let him hurt you too! not going to let you go through that alone AGAIN!"
"No, Thressa, she can stay, I'm NOT leaving you, I want you and Bina and Rob and the kids, all the kids, to go to paris WITH me, i want you and Bina to go shopping for the wedding because I think it's time."
Thressa and Alana's faces both lit up simultaniously!
"Are you serious?"
Thressa got up from the chair and wrapped her arms around Johnny, and kissed him.
"EW Gross, teenager in the room!"
Alana scrunched up her face as she ran out of the room to pack.
Thressa and Johnny stayed in that lip lock for what seemed like FOREVER.
"Johnny, we need to pack and get every one prepared, gotta tell the folks to be ready, gotta text Bina!"
" don't worry babe, it's all set, that's what i've been in there doing for the past 2 hours, V said she wants you there when she talks to me too, she will talk via skype to us from another building.''
"Wow. I'm so overwhelmed right now, I heven't the words to....Wait how did you get a hold of my parents?"
Johnny leaned forward and grabbed his collar.
"I wasnt able to reach them, they are camping, but they will under stand i hope."
"Oh shit, man I'm going to be in DEEP doo doo with them."
"Oh they'll get over it, they did last time."
"That's true, we better get going then."
***
The Trip to Paris was a long one.
the kids spent most of it playing amongst themselves, and watchig movies.
Thressa and Bina were either giggling aobout the wedding preperations or cuddling their men.
Rob and Johnny got out their guitars and sang, that is when Thressa and Bina were being good moms and taking care of the kids, on their turns.
Johnny in the back of his mind excited to see HIS babies again, to hold them and love them.
***
They arrived in Paris at noon, which meant that everyone's bodies thought it was 6 A.M.
Bina and Rob took the kids to their hotel rooms to shower and then take naps.
Johnny took Thressa off to meet Venessa.
They were escorted via private car to the estate.
Once on property Thressa and Johnny were guided to the guest house where Johnny had remembered being most of his days when it was unbearable to be around Venessa.
Thressa stood there her head cocked upright, her eyes as large as quarters, her mouth gaping open.
she thought to herself " Damn if this is a guest house I wonder what the Hilton is?"
Thressa's heart skipped a bead and she was ripped back into reality when she heard screams of delight and feet pounding on the ground.
"DADDY!!!!"
"DADA"
they both yelled as they ran up to johnny and jumped on him and knocked him down on a near by sofa.
Johnny laughed as he wiped tears from his eyes, as Thressa watched she , herself began to cry.
" I love you my children! I have missed you oh so much."
Johnny said as he sat them both to each side of him.
Jack spoke up first.
" Whos that lady? she's pretty."
"Shh, Jack that's not polite, wait till Daddy introduces us."
shushed Lilly Rose.
"Lilly, do you mind if she sits next to you?"
"No, not at all, she looks nice."
Johnny motioned to thressa to sit down, Thressa complied.
" Lilly, Jack, this is Thressa, I am in love with her, and wish to get married to her, that is if its alright with you."
" She's pretty, yes, dada, you can marry her do i hafta call her mom? cause i got a mom."
"Jack! That's NOT nice!"
Lilly corrected her brother again.
" I know you and Mom were fighting a lot and i know you are not in love any more..."
Lilly Rose started to choke on her tears.
Johnny grabbed her up and held her as she sobbed.
" that's is not so, I love your Mom very much so much it hurts sometimes."
Johnny explained.
That tore Thressa's heart open.
Lilly stopped crying, and listened.
" Your mom and i lived together for many years and it just didn't work out, i love her till the day we both die, because she gave me you guys."
Lilly looked away from Johnny, and took Thressa by the hand.
" Please don't think we don't like you, you MUST be good for dad to love so much to want to marry, Amd if you make him happy and don't argue with him and fight, then yes, you may marry him."
Thressa's eyes welled up again as the mega screen came on in front of them.
Johnny stood up and held his hands to his mouth with disbeleif.
Lilly wispered to Thressa.
"That's my mom, shes sick."
Thressa Held Lilly's hand as long as she would let her, Lilly didn't back away.
"Bonjour, mon amour!"
Vanessa spoke weakly.
Thressa Knew what that meant.
"bonjour ma belle amie."
Lilly wispered.
" that means hello my beautiful friend."
"J'ai manqué de parler de vous."
Vanessa spoke again.
" that's 'I have missed talking to you' "
" mêmes!"
" that means ' same ' "
"tu es superbe."
Johnny said with worry in his face.
Vanessa rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh l'arrêter, j'ai l'air malade!"
" Dad told mom she looked beautiful, she said to stop because she looked sick."
Indeed, lying there with a tube in her face pale as could be, Thressa thought she could NEVER compare to the beauty in that bed.
An interpreter took Lilly's place as Vanessa felt more comfortable talking in french.
He explained that Vanessa ahd pnumonia and was going to be down and out for a while, not too long, but she felt real sick and didn't want the kids to get it.
he also said that she had thought things over and it was a good idea that their Dad take them for a while as she healed.
"Pour vous Thressa, prendre soin d'eux, mes amours, tous, je vous souhaite bonne chance, d'amour et une vie heureuse que Mme Depp."
Johnny interpereted this time, he lifted thressa to her feet and stroked her cheek.
"To you Thressa, take care of them, my loves, ALL of them, i wish you luck , love and a happy life as Mrs. Depp."
Vanessa spoke one last time before the screen went dark.
"Je serai fatigué maintenant et peut parler pas plus mon amour va de pair avec vous."
Johnny gazed into Thressa's eyes.
" I grow tired now and can speak no more my love goes with you."
Johnny, the children and Thressa were escorted back to the hotel where they met the rest of the group.
Thressa and Bina took the girls dress shopping as Bina had dragged Rob and the rest of the kids around Paris doing other Wedding preperation shopping.
Alana had stayed behind to sleep some more.
Lilly Rose chatted on about girly things to Alana,
Alana tried to act interested in what she had to say but inside she was chanting the poke'rap, she was just along to make her mom happy.
After hours of sight seeing and just plain out farting around the girls made it to the taylors shop.
Bina helped design the dresses, they were flowing and reached the ankles, they had to be shortish like that because they were going to be on the beach.
the lace trim had seashell pattern on it, as did the veil and the train.
there were hand sewn in foux gems intertwined throughout the trim.
***
Everyone slept on their way back to the united states.
***
Thressa called her mom to see if they had arrived home yet.
She had.
" Hi mom, in two weeks, you will be a mom in law, are you ready?"
Thressa's mom knew it would be a spur of the moment thing.
" yes dear, i have been ready since you introduced us."
" Awesome!"
Two weeks time had passed, Bina and the girls spent the night at Thressa's house while Johnny and Jack spent the night with Rob and Bryan.
The next morning Thressa's eyes popped open.
" This is it...Today, my friend, my best friend, you are going to be Mrs. Johnny Depp."
Bina jumpped in her face.
'rise and shine we go t A LOT to do!"
bina squeeled.
Thressa got up, Bina had already started to get dressed and had the girls ready.
Bina sat Thressa down and did Thressa's make up... gluing a diamond gem to the out side corners of her eyes for the last touch.
Bina Fixed Thressa's hair amd placed the wild roses in her hair around her pouf on the top of her head.
then for the last touches she placed the veil on Thressa's head and pinned the trail to her waist.
"There, you look beautiful!"
" And now it's time."
Thressa and the girls got in the car and drove to the beach.
it was a small ceremony, a few friends and their parents were there.
Sitting in the back behind every one was Venessa!
Thressa was happy to see she was doing as well as she was.
Justice had her basket of wild rose petals and went up the path first, Then Lilly Rose, Then Bina.
" See ya in the home stretch."
she whispered as she walked away.
Alana was next.
Thressa's heart was beating so fast that she could barely stand it as she took that first step. It was a beautiful day, hardly any wind and the sun ws shining.
She rounded the corner and stopped and ghasped as she saw her groom ,looking more dashing than he had ever looked to her.
Thressa finished the walk as Rob finished his song ' I'll be you lover too.'
Johnny had a tear comming from his eye.
" You look beautiful today.'
he whispered.
He grabbed her hands as the preacher started the ceremony.
" and now the vows... written by Thressa and Johnny.
Thressa you may start.
" Johnny, you were my hope and my prayer and my dream. I had no faith untill you showed me the way.
My darkness has been lifted and my old life as been erased. I look forward to begining to live as your wife for the rest of my life. I love you."
Jack raised the pillow up to Thressa and she placed the ring on Johnny's finger.
The preacher looked at johnny.
" you may proceed."
" Thressa, I was lost, walking around blind. My heart had been torn into pieces and my world shattered. You Mended that, you fixed that and made my heart whole again. I am Proud and honored that you accept me as your husban for the rest of our lives. I love you too.
The remaining ring went onto Thressa's finger.
The preacher began again.
" with the rings placed on eachother's hands you are now united. I now pronounce you man and wife."
" You May Kiss the bride."
Thressa and Johny, hand in hand walked to the water's edge, and waded in it.
Johnny lifted her face so their mouths met, they kissed for the first time as Mr and Mrs. Depp.
