She grinned a little bit when she approached him, taking up his hands much as Alysia had taken hers only moments before, their little girl, growing up. She had to hold back a wave of tears again, a sloppy grin crossing her features. She had never imagined in a million years that she, herself, would ever fit into married life, but here she was, twenty some odd years later, loving every second of it. She leaned up on her toes to press a kiss to Adam's cheek, avoiding his smokey lips for the time being. "And what about my health? You should have saved a puff for me!" She grinned a bit and then rested her forehead on his shoulder easily. "All grown up.."

She had much the same reaction that Echo had had at her best friend's kind words, and then shook her head. "Look at the lot of us, all teary eyed. We should be happy! This is a celebration! Look how far we've come." She squeezed her friend happily and let out a long breath, as though she were preparing to let go of the last fragments of their wonderful childhood, growing up and learning together -- she had long clung to the fact that Aly was still doing 'young girl' things, with her dance troupe, while she was playing wife and mommy, not that she didn't love it. The depression she was dealing with was no one's fault, post partem for the most part, but generally uncrippling when she wanted it to be -- and it had nothing to do with anyone around her or her unhappiness with her situation, she loved it, more than anything, right now. "Charlie will think you don't want to marry him." She teased, finally pulling back -- to hell with their hair.

"Mama." He spoke the words he was sure sounded to her the same way that they had when he had first spoken them to her as a very small child. He was very much a mama's boy, there was no denying it. They were a very tightknit family, thought Marco was a bit stiffer than the rest of them, they were, as was typical, very close and comfortable with one another. He reached for her and brushed his lips on her cheek affectionately, speaking to her in Italian, as he often did. "Okay is not even the word. It's like okay, and awful, all mixed into one, but in an exciting way. Is it supposed to be like this?" He cocked his head a little bit, patting her arm reassuringly. He was going through with this, one hundred percent, he just wasn't used to this feeling, the massive ball of excitement, anxiety, desperation for everything to go together well, it was stressful..
