- - * I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (PHOENIX)

[CADEN XAVIER WOOD]

Running his hand through his hair Cade glanced at himself in the mirror. Well he didnt look like a total train wreck, he had dressed up in his dress suit, the only thing in his trunk that had even remotly resembled formal, and though he could have asked his mother to owl him his others and fancier looking ones, like the ones he wore to some friend of the familes wedding, he wasnt good at remebering fancy days like that, normally he wanted them over as soon as possible, the only one he was looking forward to was his own. And he couldnt wait to marry the girl he had asked, Phoenix Wulfe. He grinned at the thought of her, running his hand through his hair again to tossle it and he sat on the four posted bed in the dorm and he moved to pull on the black shiny shoes he had. Rolling his eyes and groaning slightly as he looked down at them and he sighed. Knowing that he couldnt change into the Jeans and Black and white shirt that was calling him, he shook his head and made to stand up, grabbing his jacket from the heater int he middle of the room he slung it over his arm and slid his wand into his pocket and moved down the stairs.

Moving down the stairs he walked around first years running around wildly, obviously forgetting things and he rolled his eyes and decided to let them squirm, hey, this was his night off from helping people, his night, a night of fun. And why not let the kids struggle a bit, if it was their first major formal ball thing, they'd be feeling like a fish out of water, and Cade thought they should think of it as a right of passage. Though he did move to some little first year boy who was having trouble tying the tie around his neck, honestly, when did eleven years olds CHOOSE to where Tie's. Honestly, he'd have killed whoever tried to put one on him when he was eleven. He helped the kid tie it and chuckled slightly as he ran out of the common room and he made to move to the fire and glanced at the flames. Leaning his arm on the shelf above the fireplace Cade watched the flames try and lick the ceiling of the fireplce and he kept his eyes on then, he'd been dragged in by the hypotising powers of the flames and he managed to blink himself out of it and looked away from them.

While it was toasty warm in the common room, it would be cooler outside, as the snow falling on the windowsill implied. He moved to the window, glancing at the falling snow and he ran his hand through his hair and went to look at his watch, realising he'd left it up in the dorm sitting on the side table and he rolled his eyes. Well at least the table would know the time. He ran a hand over his face as he made to walk back to the fire, feeling restless for some reason. He slid his fingers under his tie and ran them around his hck to loosen the contraption as he kept his eyes on the stairs from the girl dorm room, after agreeing to meeting in the common room, Cade had to wait here, and he paced slightly, nervous about this whole night, hoping it went off without a hitch. He glanced up finally when he heard the ruffle of fabric on the stairs, and he grinned slightly, knowing it was her.

[PHOENIX ERIN WULFE]

phoenix chewed her lip as she stood before the mirror of her wardrobe, nervously fixing and re-fixing her hair as she kept changing her mind with what to do with it. leave it down and straight .. down and curly.. up and straight or up and curly.. or half up?! there were far too many choices, and she had no idea which was best right now. phoenix never had been a very decisive person in life, she'd tried to fade into the fabrics of the background, not to stand out, to just blend in... she wasn't used to trying to stand out or anything or the sort... not that she wished to stand out, she just wished to look nice... for cade.

she couldn't help the small smile tugging at her lips as she thought of him, something she knew she'd never loose - the way she would always smile as the thought of him.. even now thoughts of him flooded her, invaded her mind and she couldn't help but shake her head at herself as she felt her heart beat a little faster and her left hand dropped to the very slight bump beginning to form between her hips. she was just over a month pregnant now, and it was very slightly starting to show - easy to hide though, she knew it wouldn't be until around her third month that she started to get bigger and show more. that was what she was afraid of most right now, people starting to know - that and something bad happening with the baby, or cade leaving her - but thankfully she didn't think that he would.. she hoped not.

she shook her head at herself and twirled her wand, watching her long blonde hair curl as she wanted it too, and then she left it like that. she didn't want to worry about it anymore, and so she left her hair down, curled and turned away from the mirror before she could change her mind again. she'd already done her make-up and she was dressed, she just needed to slip on her shoes. she'd chosen a dark and light blue shaded dress that reached to the tip of her toes. luckily she'd found some dark blue shoes to match and she quickly slipped them on before heading to the dorm room door.

she chewed her lip nervously for a moment before stopping herself - not wanting to chew off all her lip gloss - and took a deep breathe, herat hammering her chest before she finally plucked up the courage to exit the room. she took the skirt of her dress in her hands as she descended the stairs and looked up once she'd reahced the end, seeing cade not too far away and immediately a grin spread across her face and she headed straight for him. "hey," she said gently, her eyes glancing over him and smiling warmly, "you look handsome," she said with a light, happy grin, reaching up on her toes slightly to press her lips softly to his cheek, her hand going to touch his arm lightly and she felt the ring he'd given her rub slightly against the fabric of his shirt.

"hey," he heard her before he saw her, his body turning as his hands let out the fists they'd been holding, something he'd gotten into, it was a nervous habit of his. he let out a breath when he saw her, blown away by how she looked and he glanced at her, his deep, dark eyes taking her in, the way the dress sat, fit nicely to her curves. he was a guy, he was allowed to like the way she looked, he also liked the way she still looked like her, the natural color of her lips still there, and her eyes, he couldnt stop himself from staring at them as he moved toward her, the leather on his shoes shiney so you could see your face in them. it was easy to tell his shoes were new, there was a slight squeak when he walked, and nothing he owned looked that shiny, unless it was brand new.

the jacket he had draped over his arm, he now lifted it off his arm and draped it over the back of an overstuffed chair and he kept his eyes on her the whole time, feeling her hand touch his arm and he smiled slightly, the warm feeling of her hand on him running through him, like it had the first night they'd met. "you look handsome," he shook his head slightly, glanced down at the white shirt he had on and merely shrugged, feeling his muscles bunch under the fabric and he grinned his ever present grin. "thanks . . . and i can promise you . . no girl at the ball will hold a candle to you" he said, his arm reaching around to wrap behind her waist, his hand spreading on the fabric of the dress and he made to pull her lightly against him, he'd wanted to do it all day. have her in his arms, but he hadnt been able to, knowing she had been getting ready, and he'd had classes.

but his hand stayed on her back now, his hand curving around her side to rest his fingers on the ever slight bump of her stomach, noting she'd hidden it, he didn't blame her. it wasn't something that was particularly accepted right now, teenagers having babies, but he smiled slightly, his lips pressing against her shoulder gently, his fingers resting on her stomach, that this was what he wanted, he couldn't love the kid any more than he did, and he certainly didn't want to love it any less, the same went for phoenix, he knew his parents had doubts, he wasn't the type to settle down and get married, pour his feeling out to a girl and hoped for the best. but he'd done it this time, and it had payed off he was studying hard, working on fixing a job the second he got out of hogwarts, so phe wouldn't have to worry about working, though if she wanted to, he wouldn't stop her. he could never ask her to do that, same as he knew she would never ask him to do anything she knew he would hate.

he squeezed her against him gently, his nose brushing against her ear gently ad he nuzzled his head into her neck, his lips pressing against her warm skin and he pulled his head back, his arm loosening on her a little and he grinned slightly, his eyes searching hers as he looked down at her, her gaze warm like always and he looked to the door. "so should we get going?" . . he said as he looked down at her again, his hand still on her back. he reached out with his other hand to grab the jacket and he ran his hand up her back and cupped it around her neck, his mouth seeking hers in a kiss, before they would have to go and join their classmates, one kiss wouldn't hurt. after all, how much more trouble could they get into, she was already pregnant, and they were engaged. what was next? . . nothing he figured.

she couldn't help but blush as she noticed how her fiance's eyes traced over her body, her empathised curves (she was making the most of her figure whilst she still had it. she knew pregnancy would ruin her figure, but she was intent on getting back in shape as soon as the baby was born). oh it felt good to think those words - her fiance. it was still new to her, different to think other than 'boyfriend' considering they had not been together long before he had asked her to become his wife...and she had without doubt accepted. you could say it was too soon and they were too young but she didn't care. she loved cade, more than she'd ever loved someone before and she could see herself sharing the rest of her life with him; wanted to in fact, no matter what anyone else might say or do.

phoenix smiled softly as he shook his head and raised an eyebrow, thinking he might be about to say something and she wasn't wrong. "thanks . . . and i can promise you . . no girl at the ball will hold a candle to you"she blushed a second time and ducked her head slightly. she was not used to compliments and so hearing them from him make her cheeks redden. she moved closer to him easily as he wrapped an arm around her, leaning into his hold and going to rest head against his shoulder gently. she always felt better in his arms - safer, more secure and protected. it wasn't as though she couldn't protect herself being part werewolf, and she was even more on edge especially during full moon days now she was pregnant, but still, it was nice when he held her.

she smiled as his arm stayed around her, feeling the way his fingers touched her slight bump and she turned her head to kiss his shoulder gently. she was yet to tell anyone but her twin brother and of course, cade. she knew some people were begin to question, considering a couple of times during morning lessons, she'd had to rush out to be sick in the nearest bathroom, and soon she'd begin to show but for now she liked nobody knowing. she was disliked enough as it was. she smiled as his nose brushed her ear and she shivered slightly, her lips pressing to his head as his head nuzzled into his neck before he pulled back. she loved being affection with him, she hadn't known what being with a guy would be like, but she loved the affection between them, the comfortableness, the ease of it all. "so should we get going?" she smiled lightly and nodded. "sure," she said and her mouth seeked his as he made to kiss her, pressing against the warmth supple of his lips and smiling into the kiss lightly, not caring who was looking, only that she was with cade now.
