This piece of Fanfiction is based on the book Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan

It's my fantasy of what a sequel to the book would look like. I have borrowed the names of the main characters and the setting of New York City but everything else is mine.

Invisible Vows

Chapter 1

We are getting married. I never thought this day would come. I never thought it would be possible for us to stand up in front of other people and say "I do". Not that the people gathered here today will be focused on us per se, no they all will be focused on the real couple. Not the Best Man, or Best Woman as the case may be. Still we, and a select few, know that it will be a double ceremony. My Brother and his fiance will be the main event but Steven and I will also be saying our I do's. My mother is beside herself with happiness. Although she felt the 18 is too young to be married she agreed to it when I told her why we needed to be married.

The truth is that it's kind of a shotgun wedding for Steven and I. Although I was on the pill, happen to be one of those stories you hear about in sex ed about how its not 100% effective. I'm still not sure how it happened exactly. I mean I know how it happened, I'm not a complete idiot, but I'm not sure what exactly caused the pill to fail. I'm positive I didn't miss a pill. Nor had I taken any antibiotics or anything else on the list of things known to affect its effectiveness. I can't help but wonder if it's related to the curse or my magic ability. If I've learned anything in the past few years, it's not to discount the supernatural. Especially, when you are talking about an invisible man and a spellseeker of untold talent.

But I digress, back to the wedding. It's going to be in central park. My brother and Jeff were in an epic disagreement about the location of their soon to be nuptials. Neither wanted a church wedding but that's where the agreement ended. Everything else was a process of much deliberation and some all out fights. Jeff wanted a casual dinner party type of affair. While Laurie, in his typical dramatic fashion, wanted a Justice of the Peace at a fancy hotel with formal wedding attire. Neither was backing down and it looked like there might not even be a wedding until Steven suggested that we get married at the park by the Bethesda Fountain. He appealed to Laurie by saying that it's my favorite place in the city and should his poor sister who will never get the wedding of her dreams at least get to be married at a spot she loves? Also, how much more dramatic could it get since weddings at the park are strictly forbidden. For Jeff he appealed to the casual atmosphere the park provided as well as the romanticism of it being the place of our first "date". Jeff is a sucker for romance. So it was decided. A covert wedding in central park with two Grooms, a Secret Bride, and ofcourse one invisible Groom.

We would not be wearing formal wedding attire but would be dressed for a special day. Hence that my mom, Laurie, and I were out having a "girls" day of shopping looking for just the right outfits for our big day.

"Hey Sis!" Luarie exclaims from his dressing room in a swanky little second hand shop downtown, "what do you think of this one?"

I groan a bit inside before turning to look. It's his 30th or 40th outfit of the day. Each one more elaborate than the last. I swear he is just trying them on to torture me at this point. This one is no exception. He has found black leather pants with honest to God lightning bolts shooting down each leg. The shirt is a bright neon green with black sequins.

"Well... that's certainly an interesting one." my mom laughs.

I think she is trying to be supportive in case he is being serious. I know he is just yanking my chain.

"Laurie!" I exclaim with annoyance "The whole idea is too look nice, WITHOUT drawing attention. In that outfit the only place you'd fit in is New orleans at Mardi Gras!"

"I don't think you appreciate my sense of style and flair. Lil Sis."

But I can tell he is joking, so I just shoo him away as I continue to peruse the racks. My problem is not so much what Laurie will wear. I'm sure it will be just a tad more formal than the rest of us to ensure all eyes are on him but it will be normal enough to blend in. My biggest problem of the day is trying to figure out what will best hide my ever growing belly while looking nice and not looking like I'm trying to hide a growing belly. I mean it's not like people don't know that I'm pregnant or won't figure it out soon enough...it's just that I wish it wasn't so obvious to everyone. With every growing inch more and more people are staring or offering congratulations. I know they think I'm going to be a single mom, which is fine with me but what is not fine is them thinking that I lost the baby if he or she turns out to be invisible. I don't know if I can pretend to be sad when well meaning people ask about the whereabouts of the baby and I have nothing to show them. They will of course assume that I lost the baby which will not be true but I can't exactly tell them that my baby is invisible just like his dad.

The other problem is that if the baby isn't invisible they might be either a curse caster or a spell seeker. I wouldn't want my child to be a curse caster for sure. I think that would just about kill his father and I. If the baby turns out to be a spell caster like me well that would be challenging but not as challenging as an invisible baby or a curse casting one. Oh and there is always the chance that the baby will be completely normal which will suck for the sole reason that being born to magical parents means that he or she will forever be in the magical world. What will he or she do when they are surrounded by things they can never be a part of? What if he or she cant see Steven at all? That would be devastating.
