Chapter 12
"Hey, turn on the news." Sophie says.
"Why?" Tenn asks.
"Brody says to turn on the news. That something big is happening."
They go and search for the remote, and turn it to the news. There was a lady behind a desk, with a little square box with the rainbow flag in it.
"We just got word that Same sex marriage has just been legalized in all fifty states. You heard me right, if you like the same sex you can now get married, as you should. Good for you. Now onto the weather."
"Holy shit." Violet was shooketh.
"Yeah, holy shit." Minnie was shooketh.
"This is real, right? Sophie was shooketh.
They look at each other, letting the information sink in before letting out huge grins. They started to dance around the room because fuck yeah, they'll be able to legally get fucking married. Minnie grabs a hold of Violet, looking at her in the eyes.
"Violet, let's go get married. Right now."
"Wait, really?"
"Mmhm, let's go to the court house right now and get married. Sophie can be our witness."
"Woah, woah woah. You guys have only been dating for what, a month? Maybe two?" Sophie says worriedly.
"Yes, but we've been pinning for longer, and friends even longer than that. And besides, a month is like a year in lesbian."
Sophie just looked at her sister. Really? The 'lesbians move faster' card? Are you fucking kidding me? Sophie was real close to slapping Minnie upside her head for saying that.
"Besides if all else fails, there's divorce. Come on we don't know if or when they'll take this away from us.
Sophie sighs. She rubs her hands over her face. "When you put it like that…..Fine. Fine, I'll be the witness."
"Hell yeah!" Minnie fist pumps.
"What are you gonna use as rings?" Tenn asks, not even looking up from his drawing.
"Ring pops, of course." Minerva grins
"Yeah, of course." Sophie rolls her eyes.
Violet looks at Minnie with an exasperated look. Ring pops, are you fucking serious? Candy as rings for their impromptu wedding? Wow.
"We'll get proper rings later, but right now we are on a time crunch. Ring pops will have to do."
"Fine. We'll use ring pops." Violet agreed.
"Awesome! Let's go now before they change their minds. Sophie, get the keys!"
"Why do I gotta drive?"
"Because I want to make out with my fiancée in the backseat."
"No! You'll be doing no such thing!"
"Yeah I am. And guess what else, my dear sister."
"What?"
"On the way back, I'll be making out with my wife in the backseat."
"Ack! My ears! They're melting."
"Tell'em to melt faster. We'll meet you in the car." Minnie grabs Violet's hand and leads them to the car.
-------------
They made it to the court house, after Sophie forced Violet and Minnie apart, and made Minnie sit in the front seat. They entered the court house, waited in line, and got a time slot. Now since I'm lazy I'm not gonna write them waiting or anything, and I'm pretty sure you just want to hear their impromptu vows, so let's just skip to the part where they are doing that.
The court person leads the three girls into the room they were assigned. The person had Minnie and Violet give their IDs, you know to make sure they are actually eighteen before starting the speech they give. The person then asked if they had any vows they wanted to say. Minnie went first.
"Uh, OK. So um, you're like really freaking awesome, just wanted to say that." The redhead chuckles, Violet along with her . "But in all seriousness, when we first met and I saw you sitting by yourself, I automatically thought 'I want to go say hi to that girl'. Everyone around me told me not to, but that honestly made me want to do it more. And everyday I'm so fucking greatful that I did. If I didn't I would've missed out on years of fun memories. I wouldn't have seen you and Tenn become best buddies. I never would have felt all this love that I do now." Minnie grabs the blonde's hands. "So thank you for all of that. Thank you for giving me the chance to fall for you."
"Shit, how the fuck am I suppose to follow that up?" Violet choked out causing everyone in the room to laugh. "Gonna try though. Um, I'm going to be real honest, you coming up to me that day probably saved my life. I wasn't in the best of places in my life at that point, but you just saying that 'hi' made me think sticking around a little longer would be worth it. And I was right. You, Sophie, and Tenn proved to be the light in my life that I really needed, and I can't thank you guys enough for that. And then you added loving me to that, I thought I was dreaming at first. Didn't think I was worthy of love for the longest time, but being with you changed all of that. And I'm so fucking happy to be able to spend the rest of my life with you."
Minerva pulled Violet into a hug, and didn't let go for a few minutes. There was sniffing heard coming from both parties. Low key Sophie was also tearing up, but she'll deny that.
After tears dried, the person had Violet and Minnie sign the marriage license. The court person then had Sophie sign something to show she was there to witness the entire thing. Minnie and Violet slipped the ring pop rings onto each other fingers. The court person snorted, saying that wasn't the most ridiculous of rings they have seen in their time working there.
"You are now officially married. You may now kis-"
Violet didn't let the person finish before pulling Minnie down into a long, heartfelt kiss. They were fucking married. This was something she has dreamt about since she was fourteen, and now it's a reality. Minnie was the same way. She's legit married to the love of her life. They are both over the moon. Like they deserve.
