Love Always Wins

Chapter Twenty Three

The next day, Brie and Marco got a text from Trisha to meet her at her house. They arrived and knocked on the door. Trisha opened it and let them in.

"What's up, sis?" Marco asked.

"I'm going," Trisha said.

"You are going to marry Chris and become his queen?" Brie asked.

"Yes, I can't let him go, he's getting everything ready," Trisha said.

"I just thought of something," Marco said.

"What bro," Trisha said.

"If you go over there and they present you as the new queen, they will check your background and find out all about your life and it will lead them to us, the family," Marco said.

"Marco," Brie said.

"Bro, it will be okay," Trisha said.

"I'm just worried about them following us around," Marco said.

"Babe, it will be okay," Brie said.

"I hope so, I just worry about how things will effect you and our son, sis, you won't be here to meet your nephew," Marco said.

"I'll make sure of it," Trisha said

"Actually we can see if we can FaceTime when I'm in labor and after so you can see him and then when we are able to travel, to come there so you can meet him in person," Brie said.

"That will work," Trisha said.

"When's the wedding?" Marco asked.

"Tomorrow, I know it's soon but he's got to be there by Friday and he wants us married before going so we will get married tomorrow, wedding night, pack and go," Trisha said.

"Need help with anything," Brie said.

"No, you are to rest," Trisha said.

"But..." Brie started to say.

"No, sis, you are eight months pregnant with my nephew, do not overdo it," Trisha said.

"All right," Brie said.

The next day they were at Daniel's house getting ready.

"You look gorgeous, sis," Trisha said.

"I look like a whale," Brie said.

"Nope," Trisha said.

"You look amazing," Brie said.

"Thanks sis," Trisha said.

"You ready?" Brie asked.

"Yeah, I just wish my mom was here," Trisha said.

"I'm sorry," Brie said.

"Why are you sorry?" Trisha asked. Brie sat down with tears in her eyes. Trisha sat with her.

"It's my fault she was in the car with my mom, that they were in that wreck," Brie said.

"Brie, sis, don't blame yourself, you couldn't have known that drunk was out there," Trisha said.

"They wouldn't have been out there in the first place if I..." Brie said.

"Stop it, Brie, just stop," Trisha said.

"What's going on," Daniel said.

"Brie is blaming herself for Mom not being here, Dad, you know why," Trisha said.

"If it's anyone's fault, Brie, it's mine," Daniel said.

"Daniel," Brie said.

"You know how it happened, I started it, it is my fault, mine alone," Daniel said. Brie closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands.

"Daddy, get Marco," Trisha said. He nodded and went downstairs. Trisha hugged her.

"Please stay calm, Brie, you are close to giving birth," Trisha said.

"Brie baby!" Marco said. He came in and knelt down in front of her. She looked at him.

"She's blaming herself for Mom not being here," Trisha said.

"Hey hey it wasn't your fault, okay, they were in a car accident, they could have been going shopping together like they always did and it still would have happened, stop blaming yourself, you could not have known what would happen, okay, I love you," Marco said.

"I love you too," Brie said. She took deep breaths and he rested his forehead against hers.

"Brie?" Trisha asked.

"I'm okay now," Brie said.

"Let's get things going," Daniel said.

"I'll get your face done," Trisha said. She redid Brie's makeup and looked at her and smiled.

"My beautiful sister," Trisha said.

"It's your day not mine," Brie said. Marco helped Brie down the stairs and outside where everyone was waiting. She saw a big screen up with Chris's parents smiling.

"Marco?" Brie asked.

"They wanted to see their son get married and couldn't be here in person," Marco said. They stood at the altar with Chris. Daniel walked his daughter down the aisle to Chris. He kissed her cheek and sat down. The minister began the ceremony. They exchanged vows and rings and pronounced husband and wife. Chris kissed her and they walked up the aisle. Marco and Brie followed and they had a small reception and sent Chris and Trisha off to the hotel for their wedding night. Brie and Marco went home and they took a shower and got ready for bed. They got into bed and he held her close.
