"I don't know Lou, I don't think that will work, Gem, what ya reckon"? I had taken my two lovely bridesmaids shopping with me. Lou had amazing insight and taste as did Gem. "Just try it babes, you might be surprised, humour me yeah"? I grabbed the dress from Lou's hands and headed into the beautiful dressing room. I slipped out of my jeans and jersey taking the dress delicately in my hands. "Gem, need a hand to zip up". Gem made her way through the dressing room door, gasping as she saw me. "Oh my god babe, this is it, Lou was fucking right". Tears springing in her eyes. She zipped me up and I walked out to Lou and the assistant in the Bridal salon. "I bloody knew it". Lou clapping her hands in delight. "I told you babes, look, you look bloody amazing, H is gonna die when he sees you in this.

I couldn't fault Lou at all. She was right on the money with this one. I'd already tried on five today and none of them looked as good as this one. The way the lace draped, the delicate fabric covered buttons that led from the zip leaving a gorgeous scalloped back was breathtaking. The best thing about this dress was that it needed no alteration. It fit me like a glove, cures in all the right places, no unsightly bulges or wrinkles. I'd started an exercise regime and made sure I worked out each day. We had a Gym at Spaniards Rd and H and I would often work out together. He'd go on the treadmill and me on the Elliptical and then we'd swap. I would also go swimming over at Lou and Tom's as H didn't have a pool yet at Spaniards RD. We had been in touch with the Pool people and they were coming over next week to get started with the re design of the grounds. H had loved the idea as we loved having a spa and pool at home in LA so it seemed like a good idea to have one in London as well, plus if we ever sold Spaniards Rd it would up the value.
I made my way over to the mirror to have a good look at myself in the dress. This definitely was the dress. Lou was amazing and such a huge help. "Good job Lou Lou" I said giving her a huge hug. "What would I do with out you aye"? "Don't know babes but you'd be lost aye". I headed back to the dressing room and hung the dress back up in its bag. We chose a veil and also a pair of Jimmy Choo's to match. I produced my credit card 6 thousand pounds for my dress, veil and Jimmy's. God that was a lot of money. I'd spoken to H about costs etc. As always he was so kind and generous. "You see a dress and you like it angel, you buy it, I don't care how much it costs, how many times do you get married hmm?" "Well only once H, I don't plan on ever letting you go babe" "Exactly my girl so you get whatever you want, promise me you will ok"? "Ok H I promise".
We left the Bridal Shop and headed home to Lou and Tom's. H had spent the day with Tom and Lux and we were going to be having a BBQ for dinner. "Stay for tea too Gem's yeah". Lou drove us back to hers and we all jumped out of the car.
"Close your eyes Styles" Lou yelled out, we got a wedding dress and you're not allowed to see ok". "What ya say Teasdale"? I could hear H shouting back to Lou. "Close your bloody eyes ya twat, I've got ya girls bloody wedding dress here alright". "Oh shit ok, hey baby, love you". I was greeted with a huge hug and kiss then a munchkin round my legs.
"Hello my Luxy Loo". "Hi Auntie Sarah, Hi Aunty Gemmy". "What have you been up to today sweetheart Uncle Harry been good"? "Uncle Harry and Daddy have been drinking beer and playing Fifa, being loud and shouty". "Ohh have they just" I replied, "do we need to go and tickle Uncle Harry Luxy"? "Yes" she squealed in delight. "Come on then sweet pea, let's sneak up on him aye"?
We headed out the back where Tom and H were talking about Football and drinking beer. "I"ll sneak up on him Lux then you attack him with the tickle monster then I'll join in ok"? "Ok Auntie Sarah, lets do it". I made my way over to where Tom and H were sitting. "Had a good day babe, you and Tom been behaving"? "Always angel, we always behave aye Tom Tom". I could see Lux sneaking behind H ready to pounce with her little fingers at the ready.
"Some one said you were drinking Beer and being shouty and playing Fifa, what say you Styles"? Lux then pounced on his back tickling down his sides with me joining in. "Aghhh he shouted, its the tickle monsters aghhh Tom help me". "You're on your own there Styles" Tom laughed. "Ahhhh noooooo stop tickle monsters, I surrender" All of a sudden the tables were turned and it was Lux and I being tickled. "Ohhh noooooo Luxy, the tickle monster has got his revenge". Lux and I were laughing so hard. "Stop Uncle Harry, I'm tooooo ticklish". "Say please Luxy". "Pleaseeeeeeeeee". H then stopped tickling us then started planting kisses on our heads and blowing raspberries on Luxy's tummy. "Ohhh nooooo Luxy" I cried out, "The kissing monster's here now". "Make him stop Auntie Gemmy" she called out, "I'm too tired to tickle now".
The biggest most beautiful smile crossing his lips. "Come here my girls, I want cuddles". "Lux and I sat on H's lap giving him cuddles. "Hmm I like this, my Luxy Loo and my Sez best cuddlers ever". "Uncle Harry, you're so crazy". "What who me, crazy never". He made a crazy face and chased Lux inside to where Lou was preparing a salad. Her shrieks all over the house my god I loved that sound I couldn't wait till that was H and I with our babies. He was going to be such an amazing Dad. I had stopped taking my pills at the end of last year and it was now April. Five months and nothing had happened yet I guess I had to be patient. Good things took time and I was willing to wait.
