The second book following Detective Bailey-Jay Cooper. I recommend reading the the first one (You and I) before this one.

I was sat in my bedroom wrapped in a towel worrying about wether or not my bump was obvious. I'd have to ask Kim when I got a chance.
"BAILEY-JAY WILL YOU GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE" called Ally from the other sideof the door.
I sighed and put on some underwear and swapped my towel for a robe and headed out to find Kim, Eliza, Jax and Ally in the kitchen.
Jay had spent the night at Wills much to my disappointment but Ally had insisted that he didn't see me until I walked down the aisle.
"Have you heard from mum and dad?" I ask them. This has also been bothering me since I woke up at the crack of dawn
"I errr spoke to mum last night....." says Ally reluctantly
"And" I push
"She basically told me to go to hell and that they weren't coming"
I already knew this but it was like a punch to the stomach, I did really want them there.
"Bailey?" I look over to Jax, I could tell he wanted to ask me something
"Yeah"
"I was wondering that seeing as Dad isn't coming, would you like me to walk you down the aisle"
A huge smile formed on my face.
"I would love nothing more" I say giving him a hug.
Jax and I had never been particularly close what with the 12 year age gap and everything else with my parents but over the last month or so he had been living with us we had grown close.
Just then there was a knock at the door and Eliza disappeared for a second to answer it.
She comes back with a middle aged lady who was dragging a massive make up case behind her.
"Guys this is Sandra she's my make up artist and I asked her to come and help us out today" she explains.
"I...ugh...ok" i say a little surprised that she has asked a professional to do our make up. But then agin it was Eliza so what could you expect.
We all got our make up and hair done by Sandra. Ally tried to tell her that Jax wanted a turn getting his make up done much to his embarrassment.
And of course Eliza had already started drinking, if she kept this up she would be drunk before lunch time.
Kim handed me a glass of Champagne and I looked at her with a skeptical look on my face
She bent down to whisper in my ear "Don't worry it's non alcoholic, no one will notice, trust me"
"Your the best"
"She smiles at me before walking away to get into her dress.
One by one the girls get into their beautiful navy dresses

I loved theese dresses and they really suited all of them.
It was finally time for me to get into my dress and a walked out of the kitchen and into my bedroom where the dress was hanging.
I carefully took it down from the hanger and slid the soft velvety fabric over my body.

I loved my dress and it fitted me perfectly (Kim had taken me for a few alterations after I found out I was pregnant).
I stood moving around looking at my self in the mirror at different angles trying to decide wehter on not you could see the bump when kimd voice came through the door.
"Bailey, you decent."
"Yeah come in" I respond
She smiles when she sees me
"You look amazing"
"Thanks kim" I say squeezing her hand "is the bump noticeable?"
"No its not don't worry about it" she tells me a reassuring tone in her voice as she walks over and lays a hand on my stomach.
"Your going to be such an amazing mum I know it already"
I smile at her. This was one thing that worried me, would i really be a good mum or would I turn out like her, I don't think I would ever forgive myself if I did that to my kids.
A loud scream brings me back to my senses. I look up at Kim worried and we both run into the kitchen ready to fight someone off.
But when we get there we see Ally standing on a chair and Eliza looking as if she was going to be sick.
"What the hell is going on?" I say staring at them both
"Your cat" says Ally pointing at Milo who is told at the foot of her chair something hanging from his mouth.
"Ally your pathetic" says Jax walking over to Milo and picking him up
"PATHETIC, WHAT DO YOU MEAN PATHETIC, THAT IS A FUCKING MOUSE!"
Ally yells at him
Jax just rolls his eyes and goes to dispose of the mouse.
"Now why don't we get going" suggests Ally once she had had another glass of wine and calmed down a bit
"Good idea" agrees Kim and Eliza nods her head as well.
We all gather our things and clamber into the car that will take us to the venue
