Liam walks in, once again with Megan sitting on his shoulders.

It may be noted that he's watching where he walks, and he doesn't put Megan on the floor just yet.

Richard waves and grins from the bar.

"Morning, Liam. Good to see the princess with you."

Liam smiles. "Morning, Richard. I think you're going to be seeing a lot more of her from now on."

Megan waves shyly from her perch.

"Wonderful. Charlie will be delighted."

He grins and waves back and Megan.

"Can I get you two some breakfast?"

"Sounds good. I'll have my usual... and some cereal for Meggie?"

He swings her down to set her on a bar stool, and sits on the next one along.

He brings Liam a fry-up and fills a small bowl with brightly-coloured cereal with marshmallow bits for Meggie. He chuckles when she pulls the bowl into her lap and munches on it dry.

"Should I try to put milk in it, or just give her a cup?"

Liam grins at her affectionately.

"Meggie, give that here. Come on, you know it's nicer with milk."

He takes it away, despite her pouting, and hands it to Richard to fill.

He fills the bowl with milk and hands Megan a small spoon that is purple and sparkley.

"There, poppet, try it like that."

Megan beams, takes the bowl and spoon, and starts eating.

It's predictably messy.

He smiles and sets a stack of napkins next to Liam.

"Are you bringing her tomorrow? Amadeo loves kids."

"Of course", Liam answers with a grin. "There's so many people she needs to meet. And she gets to dress up, too."

"yes, I gather that we're all dressing up. Feels odd to dress formal for a casual ceremony."

Still, he's grinning like a fool.

Liam grins back.

"Hey, it's your wedding day. Only right and proper to dress up."

"You're right. What did you do for yours?"

"Oh, mine was a registry office do. Pretty typical, really."

"I almost wish we were doing that. Don't like people to make a fuss."

"Oh, shush you. You know nobody here'd let you get away with that."

He rolls his eyes slightly, but still smiles.

"Oh, trust me, I know. David and Amadeo double-teamed me with big brown eyes."

"It'll be nice to have the ceremony, though. Who's doing the honours?"

"No officiant, but David is our Best Man."

"No officiant? So it's just a matter of you two saying your vows?" Liam asks with a smile.

"I think so. Suppose I'll find out tomorrow."

He looks a bit sheepish.

"You'll be fine", Liam reassures him.

Megan finishes her cereal and starts using the spoon and bowl as a drum.

"I hope so."

He grins and pats Megan's head.

"I see that the whole family is in the band."

Liam nods half-seriously.

"She sings, too. Sometimes."

"Do you sing, Meggie?"

He grins at her.
