The Other Side *A Blake Griffin FanFic*

Wedding Day

Brielle smiled as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a white lace dress that stopped just above her knee and hugged her baby bump. It was simple, but still very beautiful. Jada and Amber had curled her hair and conservatively done her makeup. 

It was quiet upstairs where she was getting ready. Downstairs was organized chaos. She and Blake were finally getting married today. While it would be official she was still adamant about having a big wedding after the baby was born. 

She was upstairs in their bedroom with Gail, Marieka, Jada, and Amber. Blake was down in his man cave getting ready with his father, Taylor, Chris, and DJ. along with Brielle's father, that was the extent of the guest list for today. That's exactly how Blake and Brielle wanted it. 

"You're beautiful quit worrying," Marieka smiled at her soon to be sister in law. 

"I feel like she doubled in size overnight," Brielle said as her hand came to rest on her protruding belly. 

"She will be here before you know it," Gail said joining the two. "Are you ready?"

"I've been ready for this for a long time," Brielle smiled at the woman she would soon call her mother in law. 

"Before you walk downstairs," Jada smiled at her, "I have this for you from Blake," She said handing Brielle a small envelope. 

"I feel bad, I didn't do anything for him," Brielle said wide eyed.

"You do more for him than you know by just being there sweetie," Gail said as Brielle took the envelope.

"We'll leave you alone for a minute," Marieka said as the three women walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door behind them. 

Brielle sat down on the edge of the bed as she tore into the envelope and pulled out the slip of paper inside. 

Brielle,

It's almost time. Here very soon I will finally be able to call you my wife. I know this isn't the way you wanted it to happen necessarily, but for me it doesn't matter how. All that matters is that you and me will be spending the rest of our lives together. I can't think of anyone else I would rather go through life with. You've been my biggest supporter and my closest friend for a very long time Brie. Somehow I feel like I've loved you just as long. We were meant to be together and I have never been as excited about something as I am about you and me. Hopefully Braylee is being nice and not kicking too hard. Can you believe we're just a few short months away from finally meeting her? I love you more than I can ever express baby. I will see you very soon. 

Love, 

Blake

Brielle sniffled as she folded the piece of paper and slipped it back into the envelope. She was beyond ready to do this. Most of all she just wanted to see Blake. They had been apart since yesterday afternoon. He had stayed with DJ while she had stayed at the house.
