Chapter Text
"I feel silly." Carmilla whispered as she leaned toward Laura
"Shh." Laura quietly hushed
Laura and Carmilla sit crossed legged on the floor facing the couch. Carmilla has a tiny black top hat from one of Riley's dolls that the little one insisted she wear for the occasion as Laura wears the tiara. Behind them are rows and rows upon all of Riley's stuffed animals and toys. Ranging from teddy bears to toy cars to even building blocks. It took Riley several trips to her room and back to bring all her toys into the living room. She wanted every toy she had to be part of the ceremony she was about to perform. As Riley sits on the couch infront of Carmilla and Laura, her tiny feet dangles over the edge as she prop opens one of her big storybooks onto her lap. She makes a sound with her mouth to imitate a clearing throat before addressing to the watchful eyes below her.
"We are gather here today to marry Momma and Mommy again!" Riley smiled
She turns a page in her storybook before proceeding on.
"Mommy Carm," Riley looks to Carmilla "do you take Momma Laura to be your best friend forever and ever? To share your cookies with and kiss her boo-boos? To make her laugh when she's sad and still want to play with her even when she's mad?"
Riley pauses and waits for Carmilla to answer.
"Oh. Yes, I do." Carmilla responded
Riley turns the page in her storybook and looks to Laura.
"Momma Laura, do you take Mommy Carm to be your bestest friend in the whole wide world? To take care of when she has a tummy ache? To scare away the monsters that scare her? To share your favorite toys with her even if she damages it sometimes?"
Laura stifles a laugh. Riley pauses and waits for Laura to answer.
"I do." Laura smiles
"Ok. Now say something nice to each other." Riley addressed as she turned another page
Carmilla and Laura glances at each other as they ponder what Riley meant. Then it dawned on them that Riley meant for them to say their vows.
"You want me to go first?" Carmilla asked
Laura nods as she bites back a smile. Carmilla turns to face Laura, reaching both her hands out for Laura to take. Laura mirrors Carmilla and takes Carmilla's hands into hers.
"Momma Laura, I promise with all my heart to take you as my best friend forever and ever. To share all my toys with you, to make all your boo-boos go away, tickle you when you are sad and to take extra care of you when you have a tummy ache." Carmilla smiled
"Alright, Momma! You're turn!" Riley announced
"Mommy Carm, I promise with all my heart to take you as my bestest friend in the whole wide world. To share my cookies with, scare away the monsters that scare you, and makes sure you are taken care of before my own self." Laura smiled as tears threaten to fall
"Ok! By the power of Ted, you are now best friends forever!" Riley cheered
Carmilla and Laura instinctively leaned forward for an innocent peck on the lips before embracing each other in a hug. Riley claps at the sight of them and hops down from the couch to join them in their hug. Tears start to fall from Laura as she opens her embrace with Carmilla to let Riley in.
"Mommy Carm! You made Momma cry again!" Riley protested
Laura laughs as she wraps an arm around Riley and kisses the top of her head. She then glances up to Carmilla and beams her a smile.
"I love you." Laura mutters as she leans in for a more passionate kiss
"I love you too." Carmilla mummbled into the kiss
"Me three!" Riley giggled
