An Anthem Lights Christmas (Completed)

Chapter 36

*Jewel POV*
We get to the church and we all get out. The girls line up with their boyfriends or husbands except Chad and Fallon. They come over to me.
"Well we called your parents but they didn't pick up and then we texted them. They didn't want to come. So we all talked and decided it would be best if Chad walked you down the isle" Fallon says
"What about you" I ask
"Well poor Joseph has no clue what's going on and he's in the sanctuary all alone with the pastor. So I'm gonna keep him company till we start." She says
"Okay" I laugh
She walks in and Chad stands next to me.
"Who's idea was this" I ask
"Well we sort of all came up with the idea" he says
"Chadwick don't lie" Brycie says
"Ok ok fine it was mostly mine" he says
"Well thanks" I say
*Joey POV*
Ugh I've been sitting here for like twenty minutes alone with the pastor and no one is telling me what's going on.
"Come on pastor Doug. Tell me what's going on" I plead
"Sorry Joe I was sworn to secrecy" he says
I groan but in a few minutes Fallon walks in.
"Fallon will you please tell me what's going on" I ask
"You'll find out soon enough" she says
A couple seconds pass and the doors open. Jason, Nick, Owen, and Rowe come running in. They come to me and tackle me.
"Hey kids" I say
They get off and I stand up. They sit down then Presley, AJ, and Jess race each other in and sit down. Then the girls and guys walk in and stand on the proper sides. The doors close then open again and Jewel appears with Chad by her side. They get to the front and he kisses her cheek then comes over to me.
"Treat her well or I'll be your worse nightmare" he says
"Yes father" I say
He stands behind me and I grab Jewels hand.
"I love you" I say
"Love you too Joseph" she says
After a couple minutes I'm knocked out of thoughts by someone hitting me.
"What Chad" I ask
"You zoned out" he said
"Oh. I do" I say
"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now kiss the bride" the pastor says
We lean in and share a passionate kiss. We pull apart and Jason runs over I pick him up and jewel and I kiss his cheek.
"Yuck" he says
"Hey" Jewel says
"Sorry mommy I love you" he says hugging her
"Love you too baby boy" she says
Casey and Tyler come over and join our hug then I hear a camera go off.
"Kelsey" I whine
"Hey I'm sorry" she says
"No you're not" I say
"You're right I'm not" she says
"Hey who's the baby with" Nicole asks
"Well my parents came into town for a bit so they've been wanting to watch him" Kelsey says
"Oh ok" Casey says
"We have to go to the reception" Brian says
"Ok ok" I say
We thank the pastor then go to the cars. Chad starts the car and heads to the destination. He stops the car and runs inside. Jewel and I get out and hold hands.
"Shall we" I ask
"We shall" she says
*Jewel POV*
We go inside to see Joey's family, the band, and the George twins. Joey and I go over to his family and greet them.
"Tyler, Casey, and Jason come over here" Joey says
they come over and I pick Jason up.
"Mom, Dad this is Tyler, Casey, and Jason. They're the kids of Linda. Her and her husband died in a car crash Christmas Eve and I was listed as guardian if something was to happen" Joey says
"Well hello" his mom says
"Nana" Jason asks
"Yeah bud that's nana and pop pop" Joey says
"Hey Joey, Jewel hope isn't feeling well so I'm gonna walk her home" Tyler says
"Here Tyler take the car" Joey says Tyler takes the keys and walks off.
"He's such a sweet boy" Jeannie says
"Yeah he was raised right and I'm just keeping it going" Joey says
"Mommy we go dance" Jason says
"Ok let's go bubba" I say
I take Jason and go to the dance floor. I look around and see people dancing. I look in the corner and see Nick and Rowe dancing.
*Chad POV*
After we all eat I go up on stage.
"Now Jewel we know your dad isn't here but we think you still need a daddy daughter dance so Joes dad wants to give that to you." I say
Mr. Stamper walks over to her and I turn on the escape cd playing paradise. I walk over with the other guys to where the girls are sitting. Joey takes Casey's hand, Caleb takes Jess, Spencer takes Nicole. Megan looks up at me.
"Come on Megan" I say
"Why" she asks
"Because it's a daddy daughter dance and technically I am your dad. I mean Fallon and I did adopt you" I say
"But I don't want to dance. I just want to get this dress off" she whines
"Alright follow me" I say
She stands up and follows me to the hall. I grab her backpack from behind the door and give it to her.
"There's a change of clothes and shoes in there for you" I say
She takes the bag and walks into the bathroom. I grab my bag and go change as well. I change and then go wait out in the hall for Megan. She comes out and looks at me.
"Really" she asks
"Fallon packed the clothes. She told me that if you changed your clothes I had too as well" I say
