chapter 20

*3 weeks later*

June 27th

I've been out of the hospital for a couple weeks now but everyone decided to hold off for the trip so I can recover fully. They didn't wanna rush me. I'm about 11 weeks along now, I have a little bit of a belly but nothing too noticeable. In the few weeks since the hospital, I've taken the time to plan both the wedding and trip. With the help of my family and all of wedding party, of course. I like to have everyone included.

We've decided to take today to go pick a dress. I'm a little worried that my dress won't fit  by the time of the wedding, but I'm just gonna try the dress on again a couple days before. I also have my bridesmaids dresses ready for them to try on. "Babe Nat is waiting for me!" I yell to Bradley as Nat waits for me in her car. He jogs the front door to tell me bye. He puts his hands on my waist, they travel to my butt, and pulls me into him.

"Where's Riley? I figured you'd ride with her." He asks. I shrug. "I guess she's meeting us there. She's been with Reuben all morning. I think they're a thing." He eyes grow wide. "That's shocking. Maybe a perfect match though." I nod in agreement. He leaves a kiss on my lips. "Have fun princess. I can't wait to see your dress." He says smiling at me. "If I'll even be able to fit in it by the time of the wedding." I laugh, looking down at my belly. "Bye babe. I love you." "I love you more."

Me and Nat walk get out of the car and meet the rest of the group at the front door of the boutique. We're greeted by the nicest ladies, Lauren and Sadie. They brought us in and talked to us for a little bit. Then, we got to looking for dresses. I was looking for a classy but kind of dramatic dress. It'll be on the beach but I don't want that to determine what kind of dress I pick out. Most of the venue has a wooden platform so we wouldn't get so sandy.

I picked a few dresses and Lauren took them to my dressing room. My bridesmaids and mom leave me and go sit in the beautiful waiting area.

I put the first dress on. It was a strapless, lace, mermaid type dress with a long train. I was beautiful but I don't know if it's the one. It was definitely a little tight so that raised some concerns with my small baby bump. I give a look to my belly in the mirror, and turn to the girls helping me.

"I have a secret that only me, my husband, and one girl out there knows." I start. They look at for a second. "By just looking at me, would you be able to tell Im 3 months pregnant?" I ask, their eyes and smiles grow wide. They look me up and down. "Not at all! Congratulations!" They both tell me so we make our way out to the waiting area. I stand on this little stool in front of the mirror.
