Bless the Broken Road.

Chapter Twenty Six

The wedding had arrived and Taylor wasn't in the greatest of moods. She tried distracting herself by helping Frances get ready. Meanwhile Emmett, who had been staying at Damon's farm, was getting ready but his mind was elsewhere. He was worried about Taylor. The past few days he knew there was something Taylor wasn't telling him. But he decided to give her some space. Teddy knocked on his door, cutting off his thoughts. "Uhm sorry mate but your mom wanted to know if you were ready." said he, pushing the door open. Ms Gilbert then came in and straightened his tie. She was fussing over his tie and his hair. Emmett hadn't slept well so he didn't bother with protesting. "Emmett, are you sure about this?" Ms Gilbert sighed as he smoothed out his suit. Emmett tensed slightly. Ms Gilbert smiled to herself. She turned and asked Teddy if she could have a word with her son alone. Teddy hesitated but then nodded. Turning back to her son, she looked at him and whispered, "You love her, don't you?"
"Of course I love Frances. That's why I'm marrying her."
"No. I don't mean Frances, I mean Taylor. You love her."
"Wha- no. We're just really good friends. Yeah just good friends." Emmett stammered. Ms Gilbert smirked to herself and stroked his son's clean shaven face and whispered, "It's okay. I understand." Emmett sighed. There was no point in denying the truth. He was in love with Taylor but he wasn't marrying her. Then there was a knock at the door, turning around they saw Damon at the door. "It's time." Damon said shakily. It was time.

Frances was in her dress when Taylor suddenly felt rather ill. Frances eyed Taylor as she quickly left the room to go to the bathroom. Lucy distracted Frances by producing the veil. Taylor quickly got to the toilet bowl and gagged. Her mind was spinning. She pushed herself up from the toilet bowl and sat on the floor. What was happening? She shook her head and past it off as nerves. Nerves? She wasn't the one getting married. Shaking her head, she rose her feet and walked out of the bathroom. Maybe it's food poisoning thought Taylor. She smiled bravely at the bride and maid of honour. She excused herself and went outside. If it was food poisoning, she would need to get some medication. Climbing into the car, she texted Lucy about her whereabouts and she'll meet them at the chapel. Driving down the road, she bit her lip. Pretending to be happy was hard work. She saw the drug store and parked up. Walking in she asked in and asked, "Hi do you have anything for food poisoning?" The girl behind the counter nodded and pointed.
"Before you take them or buy them, we need you to do a pregnancy test. Don't worry it's just standard procedure, we wouldn't want to harm a foetus with unknown drugs." The girl said cheerily. Taylor sighed and took both products and went into the store's restroom. She took the test and to her horror, she found the truth.
