Spitfire

46. Nobody But You

Stacy

As I stare at myself in the mirror, my nerves get the best of me. I run my hand over my stomach and smile. We found out the other day I'm ten weeks pregnant. Definitely couldn't be happier. Never thought that I would be marrying Chris, or anyone for that matter.

"Stace, babe."

I turn around and see Jaxon peek his head in. He looks back, then steps in and closes the door.

"Damn, you look drop dead gorgeous." I giggle as he comes up and gives me a hug. "Better watch it, Lucas might get jealous." He kisses my cheek and steps back. "Please, that asshole knows he's it for me." The way his eyes shine, I know what he is saying is true.

"Any word from my dad?" I want to bite my nails but I don't. He gives me sad smile. "His plane got delayed but knowing Eric Adler he will move heaven and hell to get here on time." I nod my head and hold back tears.

"What if this too soon Jax. I mean my father's not here. I'm barely back to myself again. What if I slip back and he can't handle it. What if..."

"None of that now Stace. Yes, Chris can get on my last fucking nerve sometimes." I punch him in the arm as he laughs. But he rubs his arm, nonetheless. "He would do anything for you."

I know what he is saying is true, but the insecure part me doubts a lot. Maybe it's just the hormones I don't know.

"But what if"

"Hold that thought." He rushes out of the room and I'm on the verge of tears when I hear a gentle knock.

"Spitfire." I rush to the door and almost slam it shut. I hear him chuckle,"I won't come in babe."

"What are you doing here?" He laughs again, and I can't help but smile. "Well it is our wedding love." I roll my eyes because now he is just teasing me. "Okay jackass not what I meant."

"Ouch Spitfire you wound me, today of all days." When I don't hear anything I almost panic, "Chris don't leave." The door nudges open a little and I see his hand reaching for me. I grab his hand he interlocks our fingers together. "Never Spitfire. So tell me what is going on."

I take a deep breath as I feel his thumb caress my skin. "It's just the what if's." I shrug my shoulders. "I hate feeling like this, this is not me."

I feel his warm breath on my knuckles. "What if everything turns out all right. We have been through enough shit Stace. It's time to turn those what if's into what will be. I know damn well it will be the best fucking life."

"Get away from my daughter! You need to get your ass down to the alter son." I hear Chris scramble up and I try not to laugh.

"Y-yes sir"

I hear him move but not before I hear him yell I love you Spitfire. The door open and I fling my arms around my dad.

"You know you could be a little nicer." He pulls away from me and smiles. "I just love messing with him. He's easily scared, but I wouldn't want any other man marrying my daughter." He hugs me again and I am just happy he made it.

"How'd you get here so fast?"

"Chopper, no way in hell I was missing walking my babygirl down the aisle."

Jaxon peeks his head in. "It's time. You ready for this." I nod my head and walk towards him and kiss his cheek.

"Thank you for everything."

"Just returning the favor doll."

I turn to my dad and smile. Chris is right, life can only get better.
