I still want it all with you

I do

A nice, happy chapter for Sunday's blues. 

*****

It was a fresh December morning in Puerto Vallarta, Emma was looking at the waves crashing in the white sand from her deck in her villa, she was absorbing some sunshine while drinking freshly squeezed orange juice and eating some fruit. This was paradise, she thought that she could leave her life in Miami and work at one of the big hotels here, she would just need to learn Spanish and convince Alex to move here with her, she smiled at the ridiculous idea, but dreaming was free after all. She heard her door open, and she turned around hoping to see Alex, but she came face to face with her best friend.

"How are you feeling?" she was running to her, screaming and bouncing like an excited toddler, this is exactly like Kye looked when they took him to Disney for the first time.

"Fan-fucking-tastic" Emma said, rubbing her belly, she was 6 months pregnant, and she couldn't be happier. She remembered how nervous they were at the beginning of the pregnancy, choosing the donor hadn't been a problem, they found someone in the bank with black hair and black eyes that was perfect for them, although Alex hoped that their baby girl will inherit Emma's beautiful honey-colored eyes. Emma was feeling everything now, morning sickness, soreness, and everything she was desperately wanting to feel on her first pregnancy, of course, she regretted asking for those feelings, but everything was so worth it, the moment that she felt their baby moving for the first time.

She was sitting in the living room, reading a book when Alex came home and yelled from the door "Baby, I brought the kimchi that you requested" That was the moment that the baby kicked, Emma called Alex desperately, she came running falling to her knees when she tripped over Emma's slippers. "The baby just kicked, come here" Emma said with tears in her eyes, Alex put her hands on Emma's belly, kissed it, and said hi to the baby, the baby kicked again and at that moment every morning sickness and every back pain was so worth it.

"Perfect! So, I think we should get started, make-up and hair should be here soon, they will start with you and then with Alex. Oh my god, I'm so happy, I couldn't enjoy my wedding as I wanted because I was so nervous, but I'm so enjoying this one" Ana said running around, checking the dress again, and going through Emma's closet looking for her shoes.

"Have you seen my wife-to-be?" Emma said coming into the room, she couldn't wait to call Alex her wife, she already felt like her wife, like her heart, like her everything but making it legal wouldn't hurt.

"Aha, she is at our villa, she said she went for a run earlier, and you were still sleeping. All of her things are there, so she won't be seeing you before the wedding"

"Aww, but I miss her, I didn't give her our last <girlfriend> kiss" she said pouting.

"Even better, next time you kiss her it will be a wife kiss" Ana said, waving her hand at her still-pouting friend. "C'mon Ems, we have so much to do, your mom and everybody else will be here soon" And she was so right, in the next couple of minutes, her villa was filled with the makeup and hair people and her closest girlfriends, they were all sipping champagne, all but Emma of course, and laughing and reminiscing about old times.

"So, who proposed to whom?" asked Raquel, the lady that was doing Emma's hair, she had been enjoying listening to the conversation of the group, telling stories about the brides-to-be, and she was dying to know who proposed and how, it was one of the most interesting things about her job, she was a truly romantic and lived to hear love stories. Everybody looked at Emma, they of course knew the story, but nobody could tell it better than Emma herself.

"It's a really cute story" Emma began, she remembered how Alex's remark when they were going to the therapist's office about them not being married was stuck in her head, she thought about the reason why they weren't married yet, she realized it was because she was waiting for Alex to pop the question, and they have been so busy and not in the right headspace that she knew that was probably why she hadn't asked her yet, because Emma knew that Alex wanted them to get married, she had mentioned that a couple of times in the past.
