Hands To Heaven

Mia's Surprise

Thomas
Mia and I moved up our wedding date and used the fact that Kate and Anastasia were pregnant as the reason. When she found out she was pregnant as well. So we had everything done in lightning speed. The impromptu wedding was perfect for me because I was less nervous standing there thinking Mia's brothers would kill me if they knew Mia is pregnant with our child. We were engaged for a while so Mia had everything she wanted picked out. She had me get a new tux and I got one. Jason is my best man and  Christian is a groomsman, Anastasia is the matron of honor and Kate is a bridesmaid. At three months along well I am unsure which one is three months along and who is two and half months along, neither looked pregnant. Nether did Mia, but the morning sickness was bad and we covered her non alcohol drinking by having a bubbly drink placed on the table before anyone knew. The ginger ale helped with her morning sickness. Gretchen nearly spilled the beans, but Grace had noticed and decided yo cover for us. The wedding went off well otherwise. We announced a month later that Mia was pregnant. The Grey family will have more grandchildren. Mia wants to have Grey Sawyer babies and I want Sawyer Grey. I might rethink that choice though. I want Edward Alexander Sawyer Grey and Mia wants Lexie Belle Grey Sawyer. I can't think of a girls name and she can't think of a boys name. I tell her we might have fraternal twins and the name problem would be solved. Mia has already found a good manny to hire to care for our baby. I know Mia and she will be caring for our baby and the manny will be superfluous.

I got the wedding together very quickly with the help of certain wedding planners who owed me big time. I introduced them to numerous wealthy clients who praised their work. They were quick and did a fantastic job of my wedding. Kate had her newest hires do all the videos and photographs for me. They outdid themselves to assure they impressed Kate and all of us. They earned their next jobs because of the great work they did on my wedding. The flowers were the only issue and it was due to my choice wasn't available. Some other brides had the same idea. Mom caught me throwing up in the ladies room and she asked me if I was pregnant? I can't lie to my mom the doctor, so I told her the truth and she helped me and we made sure my hair and makeup was perfect when we left the restroom. She made sure that I had ginger ale and saltines close by.

I am thrilled that there will be more grandchildren added to our family. I had a feeling that Mia was pregnant because she couldn't eat her favorite foods and looked pale. She lost weight and throwing up on her wedding day cemented it. I am glad that I brought a travel size toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash today. I did that just in case Kate or Anastasia needed them. Plus it helps to have a grandma purse for our four grandchildren. I keep it handy for all occasions like these. The charity galas not so much. They usually have staff that can find nearly anything a person might need. Especially if I throw them.

Grace has been close to Mia since they came back from the ladies room. Mia looks pale and has a look that Grace had during the first month of her pregnancies. Sadly we lost all five babies to miscarriages. It hurt to lose them, but we were blessed with our three children through adoption. We have four grandchildren and two on the way and I am thinking a third one at this point. The excuse of getting married before Kate and Anastasia are too big to walk down the aisle was a good one, but not a great one. At least we approve of Thomas, her other guys were bad news and was hoping for a gravy train. She holds tightly on her purse strings and never pays on dates. Plus she never took Christian up about getting free meals at his restaurants unless he was there with her. Dates would never call back because they had found out that they weren't getting free meals at her brothers high end restaurants if they took her there. One couldn't pay for the meal and they requested that he work it off, including Mia's meal. Mia just left him to work it out and her security drove her home. I found it hilarious. The guy failed to see the humor in it though. He is wishing he hadn't tried that stunt or the one after that. He had no idea that Mia wasn't the frail female that needed bodyguards at all times. He cornered her in the ladies room at a store they both frequented and he went to the hospital with his privates injured and ribs broken. There were witnesses to him choking her and the hospital took photos of the bruises on her throat. The guy is still in jail.

I am glad to see Grace has helped Mia and I was worried about her when she ran to the ladies room. I followed after her and Grace beat me to her. I stood outside because of the other ladies going in and out of the room. Grace smiled and congratulated us about the great news. She didn't say pregnancy because too many women were walking by us. It was quietly said so that no one would hear her say it. She made sure we got Mia back to our seats and got her ginger ale along with crackers. Mia was able to eat our wedding cake but not our meal. Grace had a server find some vanilla wafers and those helped Mia as well.

I tried to get through the wedding and the reception, but morning sickness hit me hard and all at once, I ran as fast as I could but the shoes had to come off. Mom just happened to be going in the ladies room at the same time I was going inside and Thomas was carrying my heels right behind me. I actually made it thank goodness. Mom held my hair back and luckily she was able to wait to use the restroom. After I finally stopped she ran to another stall and I fixed myself up and got the travel size things to assure that my mouth was throughly clean. My makeup was in moms bag as well. We finally left for our honeymoon aboard the Grace. We came back and went somewhere else because I couldn't deal with the constant movement of the boat.
