Chapter 45

Dracula gave his wedding present to Mavis and Johnny. A song he played for them, but mostly for Mavis, on his old ukulele. The tune similar to the one he sang to her as a little girl decades ago.


...and you'll always be my moonlight,
but now on wings of love you soar,
now that you're Johnny's girl, Johnny's girl, and kind of Daddy's too,
your Mom would be so happy cause she always knew,
love is making room for all the best in you.


Everyone started applauding and teared up at Dracula's heart-touching song while Mavis and Johnny lovingly gazed at each other. Kelsey got so choked in tears that she wrapped her tentacle arms around a surprised Kent and began kissing him. Hank started wailing on an annoyed Pedro's shoulder. Wanda wiped away her own tears of happiness.


The wedding reception was nearing its end and everyone then gathered to take pictures together. First it was Johnny, Hank, Pedro, Blobby, Brett and Kent as groomsmen. Second was Mavis, Wendy, Sophie, Charlotte, Kelsey, and Melly as bridesmaids, but Mavis didn't show up in the picture due to being a vampire. The third was Dracula, Mavis, Johnny, Brett, Kent, Melly, and Alfred all together as a family but just like the second picture, Dracula and Mavis didn't appear in the picture.


"Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Loughran!" The Loughrans cheered in celebration as they all hugged the newly weds.


"Welcome to the family, Mavis!" Alfred said as he gave Mavis a fatherly hug.


"Thank you, Al." Mavis said returning the hug to Alfred. "Thank you so much for letting me to be a part of your family." Mavis said proudly and warmly smiled at her new family.


"Of course, Mavis. You've just made Johnny the luckiest man in the world!" Melly said as she gave her new sister-in-law another comforting hug.


"If you ever need anything, we're all here for you, sis." Brett reassured smiling at Mavis, who smiled back at the Loughrans one more time feeling that she was being welcomed and loved.


Meanwhile, Johnny held his arms wide for Dracula and then squeezed him so tight.


"I really love you guys! You're all my family! Love you, Drac!" Johnny moaned with his goofy grin still hugging his new father-in-law tightly.


"Yes. I love you too!" Dracula responded with an awkward smile while everyone shared some laughs and giggles watching the cute yet funny interaction between Dracula and Johnny.


"Is this mean I can call you daddy?" Johnny asked widely smiling at Dracula.


"Don't push it, kid." Dracula warned sternly making Johnny laugh nervously while Mavis just glared at her father's behavior.


Hank, Pedro, Wendy, Sophie, and Charlotte quickly ran towards at Mavis and Johnny to congratulate them.


"Congratulations, Mavis and Johnny! We're so happy for the both of you!" Sophie said as their friends hugged the newlyweds so tight.


"Thanks guys. Can you lighten the hug? You're squeezing us over here." Johnny blurted as he was being squeezed by Mavis' friends' big hug.


"Oops, sorry." Hank, Pedro, Wendy, Sophie, and Wendy loosened the hug as Johnny catches his breath.


"Well would you look at this, Johnny Loughran is now part of the Dracula family. Congrats, bro!" Pedro said as he puts his arms around Johnny's shoulder.


"Thanks, Pedro. But I'm not exactly part of the Dracula family. I'm human, remember?" Johnny chuckled and grinned at the mummy.


"Don't worry. You'll fit in just fine, but you better be careful whenever you're around Mavis' aunt, Lydia. She's really strict on us before you came along." Hank whispered through Johnny's ear.


"I've heard that before but I'll take note on that." Johnny nodded while letting Mavis and her girlfriends to have some time to talk.


"We're so very happy for you, Mavis! I can't believe that my best friend is married!" Wendy happily said while her voice was slowly breaking and tears were coming out from her eyes "I... I think I'm gonna cry." Wendy cried and quickly hugged Mavis.


"Aww... it's okay, Wendy. You don't have to cry." Mavis warmly smiled at her blob friend and hugged her back. Sophie and Charlotte also breaks down into tears and joined the hug with their two friends.


"We're still hanging out, right?" Charlotte asked while she was still shedding some tears.


"Of course. This doesn't change anything in our friendship." Mavis reassured her friends to cheer them up.


"Group hug!" Hank called out as everyone gathered for another hug except this time it wasn't that much tight.


As the time passed by, most of the hotel guests went back to their respective room to get some rest after attending the big party. Dracula, Mavis, and Johnny were one of the only few people who were left in the room. Marvin approached the husband and wife to congratulate them before he leaves.


"Mavis Dracula-Loughran and Johnny Loughran! Congratulations for the both of you." Marvin said smiling at Mavis and Johnny.


"Thank you for coming here tonight in our wedding, and for convincing the council that me and Johnny should be together." Mavis said.


"You're very welcome, my dear. Thanks for the both of you, humans and monsters can now live peacefully." Marvin shook hands with Mavis and Johnny.


"Are you checking in for a hotel room?" Dracula asked his good friend.


"Unfortunately, no. I have unfinished business to attend to back at the Vampire Council. I must be going." Marvin stated.


"Thank you." Mavis and Johnny said at the same as they've watched Marvin leave the hotel.


Dracula couldn't stop starring at the young couple and smiled seeing how happy they are together now that they are officially husband and wife. Johnny leaned in for a passionate kiss from Mavis as she kissed him back.


"I love you, Mavis Dracula-Loughran." Johnny said looking into Mavis's deep blue eyes as he rested his forehead on hers.


"And I love you too, Johnny-stein Loughran." Mavis playfully said as she gently held hands on Johnny's cheeks. "So what now?"


"Right now, all I wanted to do is to spend my time with my lovely wife." Johnny replied softly while they shared another deep passionate kiss. This was the start of a new chapter of their lives together.
