Together

Chapter 49

A/N so this is actually the penultimate chapter 😁 I thought it was better to finish it somewhere that made sense rather than get bored with it... So hope you enjoy the last few updates! 😊

Eleesha had taken her seat inside leaving Harry to stand with Mia. "Connie..." She looked up to see her father-in-law smiling at her. "Harry? Is everything alright?" She noticed he sounded a little out of breath but he waved her away. "Not now, you can do your doctor mode after the wedding..."

She was reluctant but could see that he wanted this day to be perfect just as much as she did. "I wanted to talk to you before you married my son... There is nobody I am happier to see marrying my son. You make him happy everyday and gave him a beautiful family. Not to mention the support, love and care you offer him. I couldn't be prouder to say that my son, is marrying you today Constance."

Tears pricked her eyes as she smiled across at Harry. "Thank you-" "No, thank you." She accepted the warm hug from him before she returned to standing beside Charlie. Harry held Mia once again, while taking hold of Grace's hand. "You ready girls?" She nodded looking up at her grandfather before music could be heard and everyone was standing.

I wear your winter coat... The one you love to wear, so I keep feeling close. To us beyond compare. The moments waking up, you catch me in your eyes. The beauty on my pillow that haunts me in the night. And I would find my strength to un-tape my mouth, when I used to be afraid of the words. But with you I've learnt just to let it out, now my heart is ready to burst. Cause I, I feel like I'm ready for love. And I wanna be your everything and more. And I know everyday I say it, but I just want you to be sure... That I am yours.

Jacob became a bundle of nerves as he waited at the front for the girls to descend the path between him and them. He turned lightly to see Harry with his girls walking down first. Grace's smile couldn't have been any bigger as she walked alongside her grandfather. Finishing the walk she ran across the front into Jacob's arms causing everyone to smile. "I love you firecracker-" "I love you too Dad." His eyes lit up hearing her call him that. His hand to her cheek, they had to separate as Alicia and Hannah came down.

The girls looked beautiful in their dresses as they smiled to Jacob stepping to one side, opposite him and Iain. Connie looked to Brianna who walked past her only stopping as Connie held her hand. "He'll be happy, I promise." She smiled warmly but Connie could see the worry through it. "I hope he is..."

Turning around Brianna began walking along the aisle, originally unnoticed by Jacob as he had expected the next person he would see to be Connie. She was standing back watching from around the corner, out of view of everyone else but able to see. Harry and Eleesha were first to react to seeing their daughter.

Jacob lifted his eyes from the floor slowly to see another blue dress before lifting his eyes to meet hers. "Brianna?" His words were mere whispers as he looked to his little sister. She looked to his face seeing how it had lifted upon seeing her, whether that was possible or not. Her eyes became tear-filled as she finally looked to her brother after this many years apart.

Guests were left watching, many wandering who this woman was while a few knew exactly who she was. Brianna couldn't make it to the end of the aisle before she was engulfed by Jacob. His arms tightly around his sister in such a protective manner. Brianna had her head resting on his shoulder as the tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

Harry and Eleesha watched on, shock etched across their faces at their only daughter being here. Harry smiled as he saw how protective Jacob became of her immediately. "What are you doing here?" Words finally tumbled out of his lips as Brianna stood facing him. "There's time for that later..." She placed a kiss to his cheek before standing beside the other bridesmaids wiping her cheeks.

Harry wrapped an arm around his daughter kissing her forehead as she hugged him back. Connie stood beside Charlie struggling not to cry at seeing how happy Jacob had been. "Your turn-" "Charlie I don't know if I can do this..." He looked to her nervous features before stepping up to her, taking her arm. "We can do this, you've been waiting your entire life for this perfect moment."

She nodded never moving her eyes from his. "You're like a daughter to me and seeing you this happy, it's everything a father ever needs. You belong with Jacob and everything you've done to make this day perfect for him shows just how true that is." Connie nodded letting Charlie guide her closer to the aisle.

They were silent for a few moments before Connie tightened her hold on him. "Don't let me fall Charlie-" "Never." The first steps were difficult, shaky almost. Jacob struggled to turn himself around knowing that he would be looking at Connie. He closed his eyes twisting before opening them to see her standing there, no words able to describe that single moment.

Connie could see how nervous he was, somehow it was a help seeing him just as bad as her. She watched as he had to clasp a hand over his mouth while looking away shaking his head. Iain placed a hand to his shoulder as Jacob shook himself turning back to Connie. "Now if that isn't the response of a man that idolises you, I don't know what is."

Charlie's words caused her to smile finally meeting Jacob's gaze. As soon as he looked at her, she suddenly felt more confident, comfortable in the moment. She bit her bottom lip to stop her from crying as she watched his reaction to her change every few seconds. His eyes continuously dropping from hers to either scan across the dress and her body, or to look at the floor in an attempt to compose himself.

As she got closer she could hear him sniffling while he turned away from her. Connie let go of Charlie's arm lifting the front of her dress slightly as she stood behind him. Moving her hands around his face she covered his eyes. "Guess who muscles..." She felt him instantly relax at her voice before turning around to see her.

He pulled her into his chest laying his head to her shoulder as he wasn't able to stop the tears from falling at seeing her. "Oh my god Connie you look amazing." She laughed looking to him as she placed her hands to his cheeks wiping the tears. "So much for being macho-" "No shame sweet cheeks, not at seeing you like this."

They parted long enough for Charlie to hug Jacob and shake his hand before he took a seat. Turning to the front, Jacob laced his fingers through hers squeezing her hand gently as everyone behind them got comfortable.
