Fix Me

21.

I walked into the dressing room, and smiled when I saw Zeva. She looked so beautiful, and I have never been so happy for her in my entire life.

"Aunt Zeva!" Leni, my daughter yelled, and ran towards her, nearly tripping over her flower girl dress.

Zeva turned to her and smiled, but my eyes narrowed as I noticed her eyes were glassy. "Hey Leni.."

"You look beautiful," she said, wrapping her arms around her legs.

"Thank you."

"Leni, why don't you go find Nick and Zendaya?"

"Okay." She didn't even question me, just ran back out the door to look for her brother and Zeva's daughter. "What's going on?" I asked Zeva.

"I'm just... I don't know."

"You're not having second thoughts are you?"

"I don't know."

"You better not be, because you and Liam have a kid and it would just be awkward. I know you want to marry him, Zeva."

"Yeah..."

"Look, if you don't want to marry him, I will sneak you out of here and we'll run off and get married."

She laughed and shook her head. "I don't think that'd go over very well with Niall."

"Probably not, considering he wants to marry me."

She smiled, but something was definitely going on in her head. "My ex called me last night.."

"What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were talking to Niall, and I didn't want to interrupt."

"Did you answer?"

"Uh, yeah.."

"What'd he say?"

"That he misses me, and that he's sorry we broke up."

"Do you miss him?"

She took a deep breath and sat down. I sat down in front of her and took her hands. "No. God no. I'm just so pissed off that he thinks he can just call me up the day before my wedding and expect me to come running back to Ireland just to be with him. I'm getting married to someone who loves me, all of me, even the most irritating parts of me. And I have a kid!"

"Does he know that?"

"Yes!"

"What?" I laughed. "And he still wanted you to go back to him?"

"Yeah. He just thought that I could bring Zendaya with me or leave her with Liam. He is such an idiot."

"So you want to marry Liam?"

"More than anything. I think I just needed to vent to someone about how idiotic my ex-boyfriend is."

"Are you ready, Aunt Zeva?" Leni asked her, walking into the room with Zendaya. "Uncle Liam looks very handsome."

"Oh yeah?" she laughed. "Did Uncle Liam tell you to say that?"

She giggled. "It's okay though, because I told him you look pretty."

Zeva and I laughed, and we both stood up. "God, you do look gorgeous," I told her. "Are you ready?"

"Definitely. I'm so nervous..."

"Eh, that's normal."

"Yeah? Are you nervous about Niall proposing to you tonight?"

"Stop," I groaned. "He's not going to propose tonight. Probably not even within the next year. We have way too much going on with the twins, so there's no time to even plan a wedding."
