Broken

Wedding Drama

Regina

Two Weeks Later

After the migration out of town and to the restaurant for our rehearsal dinner, I looked over at my fiancé who was calmly focused on the road, pulling up to the place where our family piled out.

"Shall we?" He asked finally breaking the silence, but I shook my head and gripped his hand, pulling him closer to me.

"For once we are alone, and kid free, and I just want to spend some time with you, since tomorrow we're getting married, and everything is going to be so crazy." I whispered, brushing my nose against his, feeling a smile form on my face.

"Well we aren't entirely child free." Robin smirked, placing a hand on my stomach that was now not entirely flat, barely swelling in places that only the both of us were aware of.

"I'm so excited to marry you Regina, how about we meet tomorrow in a special spot when we feel like we haven't been spending enough time with one another." He suggested, making me smile and nod, his gentle reminder of the beautiful gazebo on the lawn at the resort that we could occupy.

"Sounds perfect, but we should go inside now." I said reluctantly, getting out of the warm car and stepping into the chilly night air.

Everyone filled the restaurant room, the kids all occupying a table while the indulged in large amounts of food. Roland clung to Henry's side as he continued to adjust to Alena's presence even though she was sitting at the small table with my bridesmaids.

The room fell silent as we walked in, our guests murmuring as we quickly grabbed our food and stood to toast everyone, the big pile of gifts behind our table that we needed to distribute to our wedding party.

I glanced over in my sister's direction and noticed how tense she was, along with her brunette roommate that sat on the other side of the room with her son.

"Excuse me! Sorry, please keep eating while we do this, but we just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who contributed to this wedding, and putting it on so quickly, it was truly a group effort and we have little tokens of love for you all for tomorrow just to thank you all for sharing in our special day." I said nodding at Robin who handed me a glass of sparkling cider.

"First I'd like to thank Snow who has graciously helped me with this crazy affair, thankfully I haven't gotten the chance to earn the title of bridezilla because she has voluntarily taken on so much of the load, making this such an easy process for me." I said smiling, taking the teal gift bag from Robin and handing it to her, giving her a hug before she sat back down.

"The next person who I'd like to thank would be Emma, she is one of my maids of honor and she has contributed to so much, but mostly calming me down when her mother would try and explain these scary details that come with planning a wedding, and she is also one of my best friends." I said hugging the blonde, quickly handing her the bag to sit her down.

"Next I'd like to thank my sister, her and I have an interesting relationship, and recently I realized that I am so lucky to have a sister, and I wanted to embrace that, and she has been the best at working on that with me, and just being so supportive." I said smiling, she gave me a pained one and graciously took the bag, hugging me tightly.

"Finally I'd like to thank my second maid of honor, probably the one bridesmaid that I feel extremely blessed to have beside me on this special day in both of our lives. Alena has been amazing throughout all this, using her knowledge that she has acquired from the outside world to get all these details in place, from just allowing me to include her in this, I am just overjoyed that I have the opportunity to spend this day with you and all of my children." I said tearing up as she stood and hugged me close, keeping her tears at bay as she calmly took the bag containing her earrings and bracelets.
