[Harley's POV]

The sun was just beginning to set as I stepped out of the car, my heart pounding with excitement. Alex had blindfolded me and driven me to a mysterious location. He had been so secretive about this surprise, and I couldn't wait to find out what he had planned.

"Alright, Harl," Alex's voice was full of anticipation, "you can take off the blindfold now."

I slowly removed the blindfold, my eyes widening as I took in the magnificent sight before me. It was a massive mansion, grand and elegant, standing amidst beautifully landscaped gardens. The setting sun bathed the mansion in a warm, golden glow, giving it an almost ethereal appearance.

"Oh my God," I whispered, my voice filled with wonder.

Alex stood beside me, his gaze fixed on my reaction. "Do you like it?"

I turned to him, my eyes shining with emotion. "Alex, it's... it's incredible."

He smiled, his hand finding mine and giving it a gentle squeeze. "I thought we could use a bigger space, especially with the baby on the way. And I wanted to create a home where we can all live together happily."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Alex had not only planned a surprise mansion for us but also wanted everyone to live together as one big, happy family. It was beyond anything I had ever dreamed of.

"Everyone?" I asked, my heart racing with excitement.

Alex nodded. "Yes, everyone. Jenny, Hina, Cynthia, Emma, Nat, and all our friends. I want this place to be filled with love, laughter, and happiness. A place where we can all be ourselves and support each other."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Alex, this is the most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me."

He held me close, his voice soft and tender. "It's not just for you, Harl. It's for all of us. I want us to create beautiful memories here, to build a future together."

I pulled back slightly, gazing into his eyes with so much love it felt like my heart would burst. "You've given me a family, a home, and a future all in one day. I love you so much."

He brushed a strand of hair from my face, his touch gentle and loving. "And I love you more than words can express. I'm so excited about this new chapter of our lives."

As we stood there, hand in hand, gazing at the mansion that would soon become our home, I felt a sense of gratitude and happiness that I had never experienced before. This was a new beginning, a fresh start for all of us, and I couldn't wait to see what the future held.

[Alex's POV]

Seeing the joy and amazement in Harley's eyes as she looked at the mansion was everything I had hoped for and more. This was a big step, a decision I had made with the intention of creating a space where we could all live happily and harmoniously.

"I can't believe you did all of this," Harley said, her voice filled with wonder.

I chuckled, wrapping my arm around her shoulders. "Well, I had a little help from our friends."

She turned to me, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of emotions. "I can't wait to explore every corner of this place and make it our own."

"Me too," I agreed, "and we'll have plenty of time to do that. We can decorate it, furnish it, and turn it into a place that reflects all of us."

Harley leaned her head against my shoulder, a contented sigh escaping her lips. "You know, Alex, you've given me more than I ever thought possible. A family, a baby, and now, a beautiful home."

I pressed a kiss to the top of her head, my heart full. "You deserve every bit of happiness, Harl. You've brought so much love and laughter into my life, and I wanted to give you the world."

She looked up at me with a mischievous grin. "Well, I'll settle for this amazing mansion for now."

I laughed, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I promise you, Harl, we'll make incredible memories here. This is just the beginning of our journey."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the mansion and the gardens, we stood there together, embracing the promise of a future filled with love, happiness, and the warmth of our newfound home.

[Jubilee's POV]

It had been a while since we had all gotten together, and with Harley's wedding approaching, Kitty, Rogue, and I decided it was the perfect time for a visit. The news of Harley's pregnancy and the upcoming wedding filled us with excitement, and we couldn't wait to celebrate with our friend.

As we approached the magnificent mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. It was clear that this place was going to be more than just a house; it was going to be a home filled with love and laughter.

"Wow, this place is incredible!" Kitty exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.

Rogue nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I didn't expect anything less from Alex."

We parked the car and made our way to the front entrance, where we were greeted by Harley, who was beaming with excitement. Her pregnancy was already showing, and she had a radiant glow that was hard to miss.

"Hey, you guys!" Harley greeted us, enveloping each of us in a warm hug. "I'm so glad you could make it."

"We wouldn't miss it for the world," I said, returning her hug. "You look amazing, Harley."

Harley laughed, her hand resting on her growing belly. "Thanks, Jubilee. It's been a wild journey so far."

Kitty grinned, giving Harley a playful nudge. "So, spill the beans. Are you having a boy or a girl?"

Harley winked, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "It's a surprise! Alex and I want to find out together when the baby arrives."

Rogue chuckled. "Well, I'm just glad you're doing well. It's been too long since we all hung out."

As we stepped inside the mansion, I was blown away by the interior. It was tastefully decorated with a mix of modern and classic elements, and there was an air of coziness that made me feel right at home.

"Alex has really outdone himself," I commented, looking around in awe.

"He really has," Harley agreed.

[Harley's POV]

The evening was filled with laughter, chatter, and the kind of camaraderie that came naturally to our group. As we caught up on each other's lives, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. These friends had been with me through thick and thin, and now, they were here to celebrate this special time in my life.

Over dinner, we shared stories, memories, and a lot of laughter. Jubilee, Kitty and Rogue regaled us with tales of their recent adventures, and we all found ourselves drawn into their exciting escapades. The mansion's spacious dining room echoed with the joyous sound of our voices, and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening.

As dessert was served, the conversation turned to the upcoming wedding. Kitty leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, Harley, spill the details. Have you decided on your wedding dress?"

I grinned, a twinkle in my eye. "Oh, you won't believe how amazing it is. Nat and Jen surprised me with a shopping trip, and let's just say, the dress is so 'me'."

Rogue chuckled, nudging me playfully. "Now you've got us all curious. You'll have to give us a sneak peek later."

I nodded, my excitement bubbling over. "Definitely. I can't wait to show you guys."

The evening continued with shared laughter, a few friendly debates, and promises to spend more time together in the future. As the night grew late, Kitty, Rogue, and I found ourselves standing in one of the mansion's elegantly furnished rooms, gazing out at the starlit sky through the expansive windows.

"It's amazing how much has changed," Kitty said softly, her gaze distant.

Rogue nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we've come a long way from those early days at the academy."

I leaned against the windowsill, my heart full of emotion. "And yet, no matter how much has changed, one thing remains constant—the bond we share. It's a bond that's unbreakable, forged through our trials and triumphs."

Jubilee smiled, her eyes warm. "You're right, Harley. No matter where life takes us, we'll always be there for each other."

Rogue placed a hand on my shoulder, her touch reassuring. "And now, we get to celebrate your wedding and the new chapter you're starting. It's pretty incredible."

I looked at my friends, their support and love palpable in the air. "I'm so grateful for all of you. Thank you for being here, for being a part of this journey."

As we stood there, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, I couldn't help but reflect on the twists and turns that had led me to this moment. From my days as a villain to finding redemption, forming deep connections, and falling in love, it had been a wild ride. And now, with a baby on the way and a loving partner by my side, I was ready to embrace the future with open arms.

[Alex's POV]

As the night grew late and our friends bid their farewells, I found myself standing on the porch with Harley, the gentle breeze rustling through the trees. The mansion felt quiet and peaceful, a haven that we had created together for our family and friends.

Harley turned to me, her expression soft. "Alex, I can't believe how lucky we are. This mansion, our friends, our future... it's all so surreal."

I took her hand in mine, bringing it to my lips for a tender kiss. "It's real, Harl. We've come a long way, and this is just the beginning of our journey. I wanted to create a space where we can all be happy and support each other."

She leaned against me, her head resting on my shoulder. "You've given me so much, Alex. More than I ever thought possible."

I held her close, my heart swelling with love. "And you've given me a purpose, a reason to strive for a better future. I love you, Harley."

She looked up at me, her eyes filled with warmth. "And I love you, Alex. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us."

As we stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, we would face them together. Our love, our bond, and the support of our friends were unbreakable pillars that would carry us through any storm.
