Chasing Forever: Jacob's Story

Wedding.

 "Chyenne," I say, looking up at her. "You are my entire world. You save me, give me a reason to live. Everyday I breathe and its all for you. All I want is to take care of you and our son. I want to love you and spend the rest of my life loving you. I want to be all you need and all you want. I want to be your best mornings and your long nights. I just want you. And I would be honored if you would be my wife."

 For a few seconds she stares at me, tears streaming down her face, and I glance at my mother who smiles encouragingly at me. "Yes," Chyenne whispers. "Yes."

 I can't help the tears that fall at her answer and my hands are shaking as I slip the ring onto her finger. I stand and so does she, pulling her into a kiss.

 My mom and Nich run out and hug her, congratulating her and Nichola takes her hand to inspect the ring. "It's beautiful," She says to me.

 I nod. "Just like her."

 Chyenne smiles lightly, leaning into me. I put my arm around her shoulders, kissing her head. "I love you," She whispers to me. "God, I love you so much."

 "I love you too, angel." I say back.

 My mother looks at us. "How are you going to tell the rest of the pack?"

 I shrug. "It doesn't matter how. They're all gonna know." I say grinning. "We're getting married."

 Chyenne looks up at me, her hazel eyes glowing with happiness and she smiles widely. "We're finally getting married."

 I take her face in my hands. "Angel, we're gonna be a family." I whisper. "Me, you and our child."

 She smiles wider and tears start in her eyes again. "I can't wait."

 "So when's the wedding?" Mike grins.

(2 Months Later)

 "Jake wake up." Mike says, walking into my room.

 I groan. I barely slept last night without Chyenne next to me. "It's too early."

 "It's almost midday, actually." He says walking over and pulling my arm to try and drag me out of bed. "And mum says you have to get up and eat because you have to get ready. I mean, you are getting married today."

 At his words I stop being stubborn and sit up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "Okay, okay I'm up.."

 "Whoa, you look like hell." He says tactlessly. "What happened to you?"

 I yawn. "I didn't really sleep."

 "Why not?"

 "Chyenne wasn't here." I say simply. I know my best friend will never fully understand why I depend on her to get a full nights sleep, but he doesn't have to. I just need to hear her heartbeat to sleep. Standing, I pull on a shirt. "Where's Chy anyway?"

 He shrugs. "No idea, mate. Nich and Rose left to meet up with her sometime before dawn and they aren't back yet."

  "Where's the others?" I ask, referring to the guys in my party. Mike is my best man and along with him are my cousin's, Carlos and Jaimie, who've moved here from Spain to help us in the upcoming war. And Saemus of course.

 "Downstairs with mum." Mike says as we walk out of my room and down the stairs. "She made breakfast for us."

 "And father?" I ask slowly.
