《Sequel: Two siblings, a boyfriend and a toddler》Part 23

The sun was hot. The hottest it's probably ever been. I walked back to the flat and prepared myself to say sorry. As I walked though the door, Elodie came running up to me. "Mummy, we are going to Legoland" she beamed. "Sounds like fun!" I said in excitement. She then ran off back to Paddy. I went into the kitchen and found Tom. "I'm sorry" I said while hugging him. "It's okay. I know you're tired and I know you're stressing out about everything, but I'm here okay" he went while kissing my head. "I love you" I whispered. "I love you too".
"Right, is everything packed?" I asked as we were getting ready to leave. "Yep!" Everyone said in unison. I had made a picnic for us all to have while we were there. Tom and Harrison packed the car while Paddy kept Elodie entertained. Suddenly, Harrison came running into the living room. "Mum and Dad are coming and Dad looks angry" he said panting. "Oh crap. Um Paddy..." I started. "I'll take Elodie into her room, blast some music and keep her occupied" he finished. "Thank you" I said while kissing his head. "Come on Elodie, I want to see who is best at dancing" he said while holding Elodie's hand and going to her room. "Do not leave me Haz" I said starting to panic. "Y/n, calm down okay. Tom and I will be right beside you" Harrison said grabbing my hands to stop them from shaking.
Right on cue, Tom came in, followed by my parents. Tom looked worried. "Hello! How are you?" I said trying to sound cheery. "Don't be nice with me y/n! I'm the father of the bride and you are not letting me walk you down the isle!" He said angrily. "I wanted Dom too!". I could feel myself getting angry and there was no stopping it. "When Haz and I came back over, who was there for us? Dom! When I got pregnant with Elodie, who was there? Dom was! You disowned me for the first part of my pregnancy and then when you came over, I forgave you! Not for me, but for Elodie! Now I'm sorry if you don't like my decision but tough because it's my day and my decision!" I said holding myself back. Tom grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. "Well, just to be clear, I'm not going to be there on your wedding day" Dad said while holding back the tears. He knew I was right. I couldn't hold it anymore. "Fine by me!" I said crying. "Dad, are you seriously not coming to your daughters wedding just because your not walking her down the isle?" Harrison asked. "Don't bother Haz. If he doesn't want to come then he doesn't have to" I said turning to go to Elodie's room. "Y/n!" Mum said while grabbing my hand. "I understand and I respect your decision". "Thank you Mum" I said hugging her. "I'm exciting that Dom is giving you away" she whispered. I pulled away and walked to Elodie's room still crying. I then heard the door slam shut. How did they find out?

Divine Progress
Progress is a dubious god. After failing him, three people are banished from modern times and sent to another world. Seemingly out of place, Christoph is snatched from his own time and plunged into a world of violence and magic with no deity to lend him support. Instead, Progress has seen fit to curse him with an eternal hunger for magical energy. Branded as a demon, he must fight for survival while battling the servants of the god who sent him there, struggling against the 'gift' that Progress bestowed upon him and the past he sought to abandon. Can he make his way across the lands and gather enough strength to survive without the blessings of the Divine? Or will the gods bend him to their will, breaking him if he seeks to resist? This is not a short story, and the plot will take many twists and turns before Christoph's journey comes to a close. After all, it is not the destination, but the Progress that matters in the end. Like many other stories on RoyalRoad, this is my first piece. Feedback is more than welcome, so please leave a reply if you have a comment or question.
