The Life Of Avia Grace

Avia Grace McEntire Blackstock Smith

This was it. One week away. One week and I would be a married woman!  I was going through a list of all the details that needed to be checked by the end of this week. Everything had to be perfect. I was so over the moon ecstatic but also really nervous. I don't know why I was nervous, I didn't need to be was. I wanted to the start the nursery so I could take my mind off of things but mama wouldn't let me 

"Mama, why can't sissy start the nursery? She's getting all stir-crazy." Emma said

"Because I don't want her to yet." She said

"Why?" Emma asked again. She wanted a straight forward answer

"It's a surprise." She said

"Oh really?" Emma asked. "What is it?"

"Promise you won't tell her?" She asked

"Pinky promise." Emma said and held out her pinky to mama with a big smile. Mama smiled and pinky promised her. 

"We're moving back to Nashville." She said 

"No way!!!" Emma yelled excitedly

"Yes way." She smiled big

"This is so great!!" Emma smiled and hugged mama's neck. Mama smiled and hugged her back. She kissed her cheek. Emma snuggled into mama's shoulder and sighed. She loved moments like this with her

"I love you." Mama said

"I love you too mama." she said and pulled her closer. Mama kissed her cheek and rubbed her back.

"Mama?!" I yelled at the bottom of the stairs

"Uh oh." Emma said and let mama pulled back so she wouldn't yell in her ear

"Yes baby?!" she called

"I'm so bored!!" I whined

"Why don't you play with your brother? Or maybe go out with Ryan?" she suggested

"They are both asleep." I said

"What's your daddy up to?" she asked

"Mommy why can't I start the nursery?" I asked

"Because you need to focus on the wedding. I don't need you stressed out." she said. "Plus, your daddy and I haven't picked anything out yet."

"Mama I have asking you do that for months. I'm stressing that I won't have enough time." I said

"I'm positive you will. You always come through." she said

"When? I leave in two days." I said

"Trust me...you'll have time." she said

"Mama." I was getting annoyed with her

"Can we cuddle later?" Emma asked mama

"Of course baby." She said. She smiled big and kissed her cheek

"Hey sissy! Wanna go to the movies?" Emma called downstairs

"In a minute Sissy." I said. I looked at mama annoyed

"What?" mama asked as Emma continued to hold on to her

"Your annoying." I said

"Wh-...why do you think that?" mama asked

"Because you are." I said. She pouted and crinkled her nose. 

"Well Emma doesn't think I'm annoying. Do you sweetie?" she asked

"Well...no, not really." Emma said. I just rolled my eyes and walked away
