Chapter 84

                                    

                                          
The after-party was...whew. I didn't drink at all that night just to be on the safe side, but it still had to have been the craziest night I've ever been through.
                          
As I hung out with my team, I watched my daughter as she ran off with Rory and Liz. I almost could've sworn that Sylvia was glowing with joy as she ran around with her friends. Somehow, Saul showed up out of nowhere without anyone noticing since I heard his iconic/notorious laugh before I even saw him.
                          
"Well, I'll be damned kid!" He began happily, "You got married!"
                          
Without saying a single word, Luna walked calmly up to my old mentor and kicked him in the nuts not one, not two, but three times in a row.
                          
"That's for making my husband risk his life to get your dumb ass on our side back in Freim." She said sweetly, "Go burn in hell, Saul."
                          
"Ow..." he wheezed as he fell to his knees. "You...have quite the kick..."
                          
I whistled as she sat back down beside me: "You okay love?"
                          
Luna nodded enthusiastically, "Now I am."
                          
Thankfully the tables Warren had set up for the eating area could seat eight people each, so my entire team was able to sit at one table and congregate with each other.
                          
Nova chuckled, "Damn. You showed Saul whose boss."
                          
"Aye," Ana chimed in appreciatively, "I'm so proud of you."
                          
I rolled my eyes, then watched as Luna's parents approached our table. Dominick fist-bumped me and grinned.
                          
"Congratulations you two," He began brightly as he readjusted his glasses: "If I were you, I'd keep an eye on your daughter. She seems to be up to no good."
                          
"Huh?" I replied, looking around for Sylvia, but she was nowhere to be seen: "She'll pop up in a few moments."
                          
I saw Luna's mother give me the stink eye: "I know you're a good guy Helix, but remember to treat my daughter well. If you screw up, I'll render you infertile."
                          
I gulped nervously: "Yes ma'am. Trust me, I'll be a gentleman, and your daughter will kick my ass if I do something stupid."
                          
She nodded once in acceptance, "That's what I want to hear."
                          
Dominick smirked, "See? That's the easy thing: don't do anything wrong and you're golden."
                          
Isabella glared up at her husband: "Dominick? Don't you dare start, mister."
                          
"Come again?" He asked, slouching slightly to hear her better. "Sorry, I couldn't hear you."
                          
She slugged him in the shoulder, "You asshole!"
                          
My table was severely crippled as we all laughed our asses off.
                          
Next on the list of mayhem was, simply put, Analise.
                          
"Congrats you two!" She began when the laughter died down, "When's the honeymoon?"
                          
I looked at her suspiciously: "What are you playing at, woman?"
                          
She looked back at me with an innocent grin on her face."I'm just asking a simple question. You know, the honeymoon's the best part...Some people even say the earth moves during the honeymoon, if you get what I'm saying."
                          
After Luna slugged the devious blood elf in the shoulder, Ana dashed off to probably bug Dorrian. A few moments later, I caught sight of Sylvia and Rory as they snuck up to Stanford with Liz in tow.
                          
"Oh no..." I murmured as I watched them get closer to my boss.
                          
"What-oh, heheheh..." Luna replied, laughing to herself as she watched the scene that was about to unfold before us.
