Present – 1997


Interviewer: How did you feel about Nico Politis?

Aislinn Loving: I try my best not to judge people at first glance but there was always something off about him, but I wouldn't realize that until months after the wedding.

1976

After the wedding ceremony, a reception was held where food and drinks were offered, and music played for everyone to dance to while admiring the beautiful ocean.

Aislinn, Simone, Eddie and Bernie decided to sit at a table together. Aislinn noticed how Simone looked slightly upset, she then realized that Simone was watching Daisy and Nico dance. Simone turned to see Aislinn smiling at her and thought to herself why wallow at what's already happened. Which is why she stood up and asked Bernie to join her on the dance floor.

Aislinn felt relieved to see the sadness that had overtaken Simone had now disappeared as slow danced with Bernie. While Aislinn admired the two women dancing, Eddie watched the smile appear on Aislinn's face, a smile he loved more than any other.

"May I have this dance?" Eddie spoke as he held out his hand to one of the people, he adored most in the world. "You may." Aislinn smiled, as she took his hand, letting him lead them onto the dance floor.

After a few moments of swaying to the rhythm of the music, Eddie asked the question that had been impending in his mind for the past few days. "Do you regret that we didn't have a ceremony?" Eddie asked breaking Aislinn out of her peaceful trance. "No, do you?" Aislinn spoke as she lifted her head from laying on eddies chest to look at him. "No, it was perfect." Eddie smiled as he then lowered his head to play a kiss on Aislinn's lips.

Pulling back, Eddie saw how Aislinn's smile had turned into a grin. "You know, we should probably start thinking about names." Eddie said as he brushed a piece of Aislinn's hair behind her ear. "Eddie, we're 6 months away from the baby being born." Aislinn laughed.

"I know but it's important to have some in mind. How about this, I come up with girl names and you come up with boy names. And we come back to it in a few months." Eddie smiled. "I'd like that." Aislinn smiled before once again resting her head on Eddie's chest.

"Since we're talking about the baby, I was thinking we could announce the pregnancy." Aislinn whispered. "We can do that. It's up to you." Eddie whispered back. "I think it's time that we do it." Aislinn responded to which Eddie simply hummed in agreement.

...

The night had started, and the wedding party now found themselves dancing on the beach celebrating the festivities. Simone was sitting on one of the beach chairs enjoying the night when she turned around to see Nico heading her way with two drinks in hand.
