*Four Years Later*

I clapped Eric on the back, a large smile settling across my face.

"You ready for this man?" I asked, glancing around at the nicely dressed people sitting in pale blue chairs. My bare feet were burning in the hot sand, and the flowly pale blue dress shirt, I was wearing was sticking to my back. But, I couldn't care less.

"I was born ready brah." Eric answered grinning back at me.

Than it started.

The music played lightly as the a little girl, in a pale blue dress walked down the isle, leaving white rose petals in her wake. Next came, the women.

I barely noticed the two woman who came before her. I only had eyes for Raegan. Her light brown hair, was thrown into a gorgeous updo, and the pale blue fabric of her dress showed off her figure. I was proud to be able to call her mine. She winked at me as she moved to stand across from me.

Than the music stopped, and a new song started. A simple tune that was all to familiar; Here comes the bride.

The crowd stood up from their chairs, as Maria came into view, she was clinging nervously to her brother, Jonathon's arm. He patted her hand gently, in reassurance, as they walked down the aisle in rhythm with the song.

Her dark hair spilled across her shoulders and down her back in cascade of beautiful waves. Her eyes eyes were filled with tears as, she looked at Eric, her gaze never straying.

Her dress flowed around her rippling like waves, with each step she took. A small bump could be seen, straining against the tight white fabric, which was only expected since she was four months pregnant.

As they reached the end of the aisle, Eric held his hand out for her; Jonathon smiled placing her hand into his.

"Treat my sister well." He said is voice catching, as he winked at the soon to be newly weds. Eric was beaming as he nodded to Jonathon.

"I will."

They stood across from each other, gripping each others hands like they were a life line. It was as if they were in their own world, completely and wholly focused one another.

"We gather here today to celebrate the union of Eric and Maria. They have written their own vows that they'd like to share with you all. " The Marriage Officiant said.

Eric cleared his throat, and blinked back tears. "I guess that's my cue." He joked, causing the crowd to laugh. Maria let out a noise that was a mix between a sob and a laugh.

"Maria Garcia, I vow to love you for the rest of my life. I will cherish you with every breath I breathe, and everything I am. I vow to make you smile when your sad, to let you win the arguments we'll have, and make sure you know that I'll never leave you. You're my world, my universe, and now you're going to be my wife. I vow to not only be an amazing husband, but to be the best father I can possibly be for our little baby girl, and all the kids to come." He whispered, tears sliding down his cheeks. Maria swallowed thickly knowing it was her turn to speak. She didn't bother to wipe away her tears, as she started to speak.
