"Be honest, you're just excited to get this off of me," I say turning to face a smirking Jason.

"Can you blame me? My wife looks fucking sexy," he says sauntering over to me, his arm wrapped around my waist as mine goes around his. His wife, my husband. Just those two phrases make me feel so happy and think back to our wedding earlier today day; everything was just perfect.

《 Flashback

Today's the day. I'm excited, there's that cliche feeling of butterflies in my stomach that it's happening, I'm getting married. It's bittersweet, my mom missed everything when we were planning the wedding and my dad, I still haven't spoken to him since the day I saw him in the hospital. But I know my mom is watching over me and I know she would have approved of Jason and would have loved Oli.

When I was a young girl I dreamed of having my wedding with the beautiful venue, the dress, the cake, all the works. When I brought it up to Jason the only thing he told me was that he wanted to see me walk down the aisle so my wish was a go. We agreed to get married near the end of summer at the botanical gardens here in Toronto.

Our wedding is small and intimate just our closest friends and family, the one thing we agreed on was that there was no way we wanted a huge wedding. The most stressful aspect of all of this was going wedding dress shopping. I had Charlotte, Natalia and Camryn with me, three of my four bridesmaids with me, and took some time figuring out what type of dress style suited my body.

In the end, my pick was a stark white lace sweetheart neckline dress, the plunge going down my chest is tasteful but isn't too low that I look trashy and with a low back. The material is tight at the top but flows outwards, comfortable enough for my growing bump. We both agreed we didn't want to wait until the baby was born, both of us were eager to get married as soon as possible.

"Victoria, are you ready? "Camryn questions as she walks back into the room I was getting ready in.

"Yeah, just need to get my jewelry on and then we can get this show on the road," I tell her as I clasp my necklace around my neck. I make sure the hair brooch pinned to my hair is in place, I opted out of wearing a veil instead I have it falling past my shoulders in waves.

"You look so pretty Victoria, Jason is going to be swept off his feet," I hear Charlotte comment from behind Camryn. I stand up as all three of my friends walk in and I take a look at their outfits, dark navy floor-length bridesmaid dresses with thin straps.

"You guys look great too, I knew the blue was a good choice for you all," I say hauntingly as the three either laugh or roll their eyes. When we went for their clothes it was a debate between red or blue and I knew blue was the perfect choice for them.

"Where's Julia?" I ask when I don't see her.

"She's making sure everything is okay on the men's side," Camryn answers as we walk out of the room and down the hall where we see a ready Julia with Jason's groomsmen. He has Oli as his man-of-honour who's walking with my maid of honour Charlotte, Jax is walking with Camryn, Nash with Natalia and Haruto with Julia.

Cleo is outside with the kids, although we're okay now I didn't want her to be a part of my bridal party. At best we're acquaintances because of the people we know but that's just where our relationship ends.

"Look who's looking fire today," Haruto says aloud teasingly while the rest of the guys grin when they see me.

"Of course she looks fire idiot, it's her wedding day," Natalia throws back at him. I feel a finger tapping my arm and look down at Oli who only gives me a shy smile.
