A/N: I think this might be finished, unless some of you lovely fans have suggestions. I will in the future make a section of shorts for possible adventures in their married lives with the twins, but for now I have yet to do that. We will see what inspiration has in mind in the future. I wanted to end this the same day that I original started publishing it back 01/27/07, but I think many of you have waited long enough and I am so glad that you put up with me this long. I don't know if I will accomplish one this long again, but I'm very proud of this story. One day I will go back and edit mistakes and such, but for now I think I will call it complete. Thank you so much to all of you.

A/N 2: My other stories are on hold for now except the Batman Returns one I've been working on. I dug a whole and am still trying to find a way out of what I did. I also have some others in the works, so keep a look out for that. Thank you all for being so patient with my recent computer crisis's and everything else that has gone wonky. I appreciate you sticking with me.

Happy 2 years of wonderful fun writing to "Studies in Chocolate"~thanks to all those wonderful readers, fav's, reviews, I appreciated everything.

--Last Day before Wedding--

The week had gone considerably well despite the chaos that was our lives at the moment. Everyone had pulled together and he had managed to keep to his work schedule rather easily. It was already apparent between the friends and family we had too many people to work with.

“Deidre is not doing the rehearsal.” It had taken me nearly an hour to convince him to leave the bathroom.

Rehearsal had been planned three days in advanced and much to his horror, Deidre had indicated helping to keep it moving on track. Finally he escaped into the room looking more terrified than I thought. It had been in our opinion an easy wedding because we had already been married by the Oompa Loompa’s, and now he was afraid?

“Willy!” he stopped his attempt to again lock himself into the bathroom and turned to study me. “This isn’t going to be that bad.” He sighed resigned to the fact I wasn’t letting him out of it. “Think of it like this…it’s dinner at the Buckets, only outside at a really big table with all the chaos we’ve been faced with for nearly a month…um…maybe longer.”

“Deidre’s still there.”

“Yes, but Mom did the rehearsal part.” Grudgingly he accepted my offered arm and we both started to the elevator. “Are you going to survive the ceremony tomorrow while you wait for me to come down the isle?” I saw his gaze widen before he again froze, this time in the elevator at our destination.

“I’m going to be alone?” he squeaked softly staring at me almost suspiciously.

“No, with Aden, Malcolm, Danny, Taylor and Sage.” I pointed out.

“Why them?” I sighed deciding this was going to be a long day.

“Because…Hillary is my maid of honor, she will be walking along side Aden who is your best man and the others will follow suite. I’m last.” He winced giving me a look. “What?”

“Still your favorite word.” He grinned at my menacing look before sighing. “I’ll live…besides I will be outnumbered if I run.” I elbowed him for the cute remark and started across the chocolate room.

--Wedding Rehearsal--

The rehearsal was going rather well despite the fact that my mother was still arguing with Deidre. It had become interesting to all of us to watch Mom, Deidre, Aunt Margo and Aunt Betsy trying to control things. Even Dr. Wonka appeared flabbergasted watching this little argument; it was beginning to become just a tad over done.

“Excuse me?” I was ignored and sighed staring at Willy who looked ready to surrender and hide. “Guys?” again no attention was shown on me. “EXCUSE ME GALS!” success I got the attention I wanted. “If you keep this up the twins will be here before the rehearsal is done.” He hugged me close trying to stifle his amusement and noticed my sour expression, my hormones were working again.

“Finally some common sense.” Mrs. Bucket smiled at the strange look she received. “This is not necessary to panic over…they are already married, this is just a renewing their vows for our sake.” She pointed out seeing my mom nod in agreement.

“Becky is right; we’re turning this into a circus. We need to relax.” Mom finally seemed to sink in and the rest of the rehearsal went easily.

--Later--

“Why is it the adults retreat to bed early and I’m still hounded by my family?” I laughed at the dark looks Willy received from our gathering around the table.

“Haywood, Taylor, Danny, Sage, Addie and Fay are not family William Wonka.” Willy scowled at Piper’s comment and threw nerds at her nose.

“Hey! I’m throwing those at the wedding, don’t waste them on Piper.” Nelly protested the action and only received a handful thrown at her by me. “Harpy.”

“Not.” I grinned when Jaiden proceeded to give Nelly a noogie. “Hopefully now that sense has been brought upon our elders…” I leaned into the arms snuggled around me. “…the wedding will go easily?”

“With you as I recall, nothing is easy.” I gave Haywood a dirty look and heard several of the others agree.

“Thanks a lot.” Willy leaned on my shoulder, Aden easily caught his hat knowing what to expect. “I thought ours was supposed to be easier Brandi.” I giggled at his unenthusiastic tone.

“It was. We involved relatives and there is where it became complicated.” He muttered something muffled by my shoulder.

“HEY!” came a chorused protest at my comment.

“Hey yourselves…my ears are ringing.” Willy got several nerds for that comment and all of us proceeded to giggle with one another.

--Wedding Day--

Knock, knock

I smiled hearing a grumble and watched Willy lift a pillow over his head. I agreed with him whole heartedly but it was the big day and there was no way avoiding the family was going to work this time. I gently nudged my exhausted husband and watched those violet eyes meet mine with a sigh.

“I love you.” He smiled at my soft tone and leaned in kissing me softly. “I need to get ready.”

“I know, I don’t want to go by those rules though. I like seeing you.” I kissed him again and shooed him off. “Gosh darn it.”

I laughed when he was ushered from the room in his pajamas and waited to be trampled by my female friends and family members. I was moved around and pushed around like some toy. I was made up to resemble something I didn’t like which was quickly fixed by Aunt Betsy and Mom. My hair was done in a French braid by Nelly, Patience, Jaiden, and Hillary proceeded to weave in candy roses. I listened to them complain about the little pricks they received for the trouble.

My gown had been resized to fit my large belly which I was grateful for. It flowed like I remembered in the rich white velvet with silver lining the cuffs and the lace around the arms. Roses were ringed around my head with a light almost web like veil down my back and floating around my shoulders.

“You look lovely honey.” I smiled hugging my mom and Aunt Betsy close. Mrs. Bucket had been helping our little Oompa Loompa flower children while Emilee had a time keeping Gilbert still for his barer part.

“A princess.” Piper exclaimed with amusement receiving a familiar look. “Hey you married into my family, I’m entitled to tease.” She laughed when Nelly nodded in agreement leaning on her.

“I think both of us are regretting the joining part.”

“Now don’t be such a downer.” I swatted at Fay for being the smart ass in the group and waited for the chaos when all of our group would be clothed for the ceremony.

The maiden gowns were all a pastel blue with white roses and crowns of white roses in their hair. Everyone looked great, I made sure that Hillary and Nelly got the most prodding getting ready though.

--Willy Wonka’s POV--

“Stop twitching already dude.” Danny had yet to get the flower to remain on Willy and had a time keeping him from fixing everything else in between.

The guys were all set to go in their deep blue tuxes and were just waiting for him to calm down; finally Aden sent them all out to get to their places in the chocolate room and made sure that the girls were headed to the hideaway in the chocolate room. He didn’t need them all colliding, he promised to keep this as traditional as possible and seemed to be the only one willing to control Willy.

“Willy!” he jumped a mile turning to face Aden who smiled softly at the familiar reaction. “You are like a brother to me, so calm the heck down and remember you’re already married.” He adjusted Willy’s hat and finally made sure his ‘W’ pin was in place. “You’re going to be fine, your mom would be happy for you.” He offered seeing the familiar softening in his fidgets and panics.

“Thanks.” He willingly hugged his dearest cousin and took a deep breath. “Let’s boogie.” Aden laughed at that and followed Willy into the chocolate room.

The room was covered in rose arrangements nearest to the chocolate river and their hideaways. Everything was laced with edible decorations all in white, violet and pale blues. The guys were lined accordingly near a large rock candy archway carved with dragons, fairies and other mythical beings. It was not what he expected and in that moment Willy was thankful for their rather complicated family. Alistair was also ordained and could perform the wedding, something he was grateful for and thanked his father for.

“Something’s missing.” Willy stated getting everyone’s attention and seeing all eyes level with him. “Aden, Collen, Barclay and Duncan?”

“Yeah?” the four chorused curiously.

“I need you to go with Race and get the room set up for nighttime, I want Pisces lighting the sky as the dominate star constellation over the ceremony.” None of them asked; just ran off to do as requested.

--Original POV--

I smiled at my familiar dress trying hideaway. It was full of the candied fireflies that day and was laced with roses, lace and butterflies from the candied fields. Willy had done everything to make this amazing, I also had a feeling he wasn’t done yet.

“You are deeply in love with my cousin peculiarities and all.” I glanced up at Piper who appeared to be the most protective of Willy other then Aden.

“Yes, he is the most wonderful man I have ever encountered. I never honestly thought I would fall in love or get this far.” She smiled softly turning to Kadence who too was smiling.

“From the four of us and Uncle Wilbur…we can’t thank you enough for getting around his quirks and becoming family. We never thought we would see him this happy again. Aunt Melinda would be very happy.” Kadence noticed my surprise and smiled.

“I never knew her name. She loved him.” They both nodded leaving me to reflect on their kind words and the knowledge that Willy’s mother Melinda Wonka would be happy for him.

“Ready?”

“Already?”

I glanced up at Nelly and Aunt Betsy. “Yes she’s ready; my little niece is growing up.” I wrinkled my nose at Aunt Margo; she had gotten better but was still learning.

“Get a move on girls.” I watched everyone scurry off leaving my wedding party behind.

I watched Nelly, Hillary, Kadence, Piper, Jaiden, and Patience all exit into the chocolate room and smiled. I was about to again be Mrs. Wonka and this time could tell the world. I made my way to the exit and froze watching the grouping around the archway Willy had designed.

I saw our families and friends all grouped under one giant night sky with the most prominent Pisces Constellation I had ever seen, the stars were glowing in pale white to bright almost ghostly blue and radiating in time with the music..

“Gram wherever you are in heaven…I love you so much and your little granddaughter is very happy.” I stepped out to the tune of the march and easily made my way to the alter with care.

I was pleasantly surprised by a number off candy butterflies lifting my veil for me and the ring of candy fireflies making a soft glow around us.

I listened to the gathered here speech of the ceremony but got lost with a pair of violet eyes and smiled. I moved my mouth in a silent ‘thank you and I love you’ to Willy who smirked smugly as usual and stifled my amused laughter.

“Rings?” Alistair drew our attention to a giggling Gilbert who held up the pillow with our second gold bands with the help of Emilee.

We exchanged our vows and each in turn lifted on the rings, Alistair nodded with a smile and got to the best part of the whole thing.

“I now pronounce you Man and Wife, again. You may kiss the bride.” Both of us got a chuckle out of that before we kissed each other and turned to our family.

“So cute.” Nelly nodded in agreement with my mother.

We were finally married to the world and were both very happy to be.

Later on during the celebrations and unusual group of friends we had, Willy led me off to the side and held my hands close. “Now you know why I was working overtime.”

“You made my wish come true about Pisces.” He nodded with that familiar smirk I had come to love. “Did I tell you how much I love you?”

“Yes, but it’s still nice to hear now and again.” I smiled at him for his smart retort and leaned up kissing him again. “I love you too Starshine.”

“You never did explain the story behind that?”

“My mom told me a story once, it was a love story and the thing that always made them happy was the shinning stars. Starshine fit you because you love those stars and me as much as she did.” He kissed me this time, but I returned it with a familiar passion that made him pull back with lidded eyes.

“I will always love you too.”

“Their so cute it’s scary.” Both of us groaned to find Nelly and of course Piper standing there side by side.

“Satan and Pips.” Piper smacked him for the nickname and Nelly just tossed a jellybean at his nose.

“Nerds and Jellybeans.” Nelly grinned and as threatened we were covered with both candies by all our family members and friends.

“She did warn us.” He laughed at that before we again joined our families in celebrating our wedding.

--2 weeks later--

The factory was again back to normal, granted it was strangely quiet without the family running about, but it was nice for the peace it offered. I had spent my morning in the candy rose garden gently prodding the flowers to life and hopefully keeping them going with my green thumb. Surprisingly they seemed to do very well under Willy’s supervision and my slight obsession with them.

That morning I had been unusually active and had yet to figure out why. I would sit down for a while and have to move about again and finally Mrs. Bucket had sent me on a walk. I had gotten sidetracked by the roses and was still fidgeting with a yellow bush.

“Gram would laugh at me right now. I’m worried about candied roses instead of my big belly.” I snickered at the expression I knew she would have and froze.

I remembered the stories from when Gram had told me of Mom’s pregnancy with me. I recalled the fact that Mom hadn’t been able to sit still for the longest of times and had been pacing often enough to drive Gram nuts, which included burning cookies.

“Uh oh.” I had a strange feeling that mother and daughter had more in common and immediately started back to the Bucket’s house. “Gregory!” the small man came rushing to my side with worry. “Go get Willy from the Inventing room and have him come to the Bucket’s.” he nodded and started off. “Oh and have a limo ready.” I added as an after thought.

My timing was perfect Mrs. Bucket was on her way out to greet me and her eyes widened realizing something was up. “Dear?”

“Water broke.” I added watching her nod before disappearing after the emergency bag she had in the house in case I wasn’t around Willy’s and my room.

--Inventing Room Willy Wonka’s POV--

“Charlie!”

Grabbing his protégée both ducked behind a shield wise to the unstable candies they were working on and missed another candy bath. Slowly both glanced up at the mess and each in turn sighed, this was going to take a while.

Willy turned sharply at the urgent feet heading his way and watched Gregory sign rapidly. Charlie noticed his mentor pale sharply and nod with a strange distant look in his expression.

“Mr. Cocoa Bean…NOW!” the urgent waving hands and tug got his attention and he signed quick instructions immediately.

“Charlie, go to your mother. I need to be with Brandi.” Before the boy could ask, Willy was on his way to the elevator.

--Original POV--

“Crap.” I managed to trip several times before Mrs. Bucket got me to the exit and saw Willy making a beeline to us. “Bye Becky.” She hugged me watching Willy immediately wrap an arm around me and head out.

Down the hall we went with several tiny people waving and giving various encouraging signs. Once to the limo we both groaned at the mob of reporters that still had yet to free the gates of their claws. Ignoring all pretenses Willy had the gates opened with a flourish and a warning to announce their departure.

I had never seen reporters move so fast in my life, we just informed them without trying that the twins were on their way. It wasn’t overly hard to get to the hospital; the next thing was convincing him into the room with me.

I could see he was still having serious doubts on his abilities and tried all I could in my power to get him into that room. Finally I resorted to threatening his well being and getting him to reluctantly sit at my side. I waited for the doctor and realized uncomfortably it wasn’t Harlow and I wasn’t happy with that.

I lay there in my bed for the most part staring straight into the nothingness of the peach colored walls. “Brandi what’s wrong starshine?”

“I miss Harlow.” I met those violet eyes and saw a sly smile there on his lips and wondered what I missed. “What?”

He gently took my hand and smiled again. “I have my ways of getting Harlow in here. It’s a private room and the doctor helping Harlow is a friend of Pipers, very easy to get along with and everything will be confidential.” I raised a brow at his amused tone. “Alright fine, Kadence is a baby doctor.”

I let out a breath of air and hugged him tightly. “Again I love you Willy.” His grin was catching until the contractions hit. “They better hurry.”

Quickly Willy ducked out long enough to find Kadence, Piper was waiting to help in case of him melting down and finally the large bag being carted in hiding Harlow.

Somehow he managed to deal with me crushing his hand, didn’t faint and must have successfully drowned out the curses leaving my mouth. Not only was I in pain, but I was thinking very unclearly and dishing out my fair share of threats to everyone, even my own mother.

Once the twins were born, we were proud parents of a little girl and boy. “Aww…well ew right now.” Despite being tired and weary I laughed at Piper’s face she was making.

Once they were cleaned they were handed over to us one to Willy and one to me. “Nicodemus Galen Wonka and…

Tiredly I glanced up at him with a smile. “Kendra Imogene Wonka.”

“They are so cute.” Piper just had to stick in her opinion, I already missed Nelly.

“Well Kendra and Nicodemus need to be situated, you need rest and hubby here needs to stay in here. It’s a private room but the vultures are circling.” Kadence warned with a small smile at her new cousins. “Congrats guys.”

We were left alone with our little ones and I was at last very happy and tired.

--Several hours later--

I yawned peeking around the room and smiled at my husband currently lying across my lap in his chair. “Willy?” he snapped awake immediately, before relaxing and clasping my hands. “How are they?”

“Beautiful and content starshine.” I smiled glancing over at the twins, it was already decided that they wouldn’t be able to breast feed.

With my anemias and lack of milk production I was lucky we had them, the lovely cousins had been fawning over them since they were born. I waved weakly at Piper who currently had Kendra in her arms feeding her.

“Just think of how we get rid of the family now.” He groaned at my humor and leaned in stealing a kiss.

“I can handle it.” He smiled again kissing me. “We can handle anything now; we’re together with our family and two lovely children.” I hugged him close glancing down across the bed and wiggled my feet.

“My feet! I can see them again.” He laughed at my excitement before I made a face. “It still doesn’t help my coordination any though.”

“True…

“Diaper change?” Willy made a face at Piper for her interruption. “Kidding, besides you already succeeded in doing that twice today.”

“Ew…yeah, but I have to get used to it.” I giggled at his reaction already guessing our lives would be chaos for a long time yet to come.

“At least we’re happy despite the world.” He carefully snuck behind me allowing me to rest on his chest within his arms.

“Very true, always and forever.”

“Forever.”

The End
