“Ah hem…” Topaz coughed. “Dell, Steel it’s good to see you.”
Dell peered around the massive shoulders of her husband.
Moving to the side, allowed Topaz to get a real hug from both of them.
“Topaz, I hear rumors about some good news for you.” Dell reached out and grabbed her hand. Bending the fingers to get a good look at the ring she’d received less than an hour before. “I knew it. I knew you were going to find what you needed here. I’m so happy for you and Onyx.”
“Rumors huh?” Topaz asked and glanced over at Onyx.
Onyx shrugged. “Maybe while you showered, I bought a round a drinks.”
“We don’t pay for drinks at the clubhouse.” She raised a brow at him.
“Can’t help it if you have a penny pinching fiancé,” he countered, then stepped away to talk to Hollywood.
Topaz turned to Dell. “Well, thank you. Maybe you could come for our wedding it will be next summer. We want at least a year to plan it.”
“We’ll be here. I promise.” Dell hugged her.
“Come on everybody the wedding is about to start,” Bounty stated as he and Cream stood hand in hand.
Topaz smiled and made her way over to the happy couple. “Cream, I didn’t get to congratulate you yet.”
“For what?” Cream smiled and let out a light sigh.
“The baby.” Topaz laughed and hugged Cream.
Bounty smiled down at his woman and Topaz. “Yes and we can’t wait. Our wedding we’ll have to be sooner than later.”
“Whoa there cowboy, I never said I was going to marry you,” Cream countered.
“Everything? We have to fight over everything don’t we?” Bounty asked with a laugh.
“Only the really good things,” she countered as her mother approached with her walker.
The woman, near catatonic last fall, was now moving around as if little had happened to her. “Annie,” she scolded, still struggling with words but not looks.
“Yes, mama I’m gonna marry him, just, not right now.”
“Thank you mama,” Bounty replied to his greatest ally.
Annie gave him a wink.
“There is going to be so many weddings coming up.” Topaz looked over to see Onyx returning to her side.
“Well, I’ll see you all later on at the reception. We better all hush before the music starts,” Cream said.
Onyx wrapped his arm around her waist as they stood waiting.
When the music started, the only one smiling bigger than Topaz was Dreamer who caught sight of Dell. The wedding crasher who walked Dreamer up the aisle to Freaky who was waiting by the creek.
Looking back, Topaz wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. She needed to grieve her past in order to find her future. Save her man, instead of cowering away. And allow herself the right to fall in love again.
As Freaky took Dreamer’s hands in his, the minister started the ceremony in a way she knew would stick with every member of the Steels.
“They say steel sharpens steel,” he began. “Much like the brotherhood here, the love of a woman can only strengthen and sharpen the man.”
When the ceremony ended… everyone in the crowd yell together, “Steel sharpens steel.”
