Our Secret

Chapter 23- Redo Reception Of The Night

Karma's POV

"Mommy, hurry up!" Kade tugged on my arm, pulling me deeper into the shopping outlet. So far, I've picked up nine dress shirts and Kade's new dress, twelve bouquets of pink and white lilies, and the cake. What for, you ask? Stella and Dustin's redo reception. I felt responsible for Zayn crashing their wedding reception, so I promised them another one. And it's at my house.

"Slow down, honey, you've gotten more strength in the past few days, calm down!" I chuckled, she dragged me into the candy shoppe, grabbing licorice ropes, jelly beans, and whatever she could get her hands on. I grabbed a bag of M&M's for the brownies I'm making. Kade insisted she come with me to shop. She made her way to the counter with a mountain high pile of sweets. I paid with my credit card and grabbed Kade's clean hand that wasn't sticky with stuff.

I sighed in relief, finally I could go home and rest, only for a second because I only have an hour to bake, dress everyone, clean, and decorate. If I saw a random man on the street I would go up to him and say, "I bet you a million dollars that everyone in my home is sitting around being useless." I specifically told Harry and Louis to start cleaning. Liam, hopefully, has started cooking.

"Get inside, Kade." She did as told and I buckled her in her carseat. Off we go!

"Liaaaam! Where are the sponges?!"

"Niall what happened to the baked Alaska that I just set down?!"

"Compliments to the chef?"

"I swear I will suck you dry if you don't stop smacking me with a broom!"

I huffed and walked in casually. This is pretty much a daily basis. "Go get dressed." I handed Kade her dress. She ran towards her room, dodging a vase in process.

"Thank goodness! Everyone, Karma's back!" I was swarmed with dirty rags and the smell of cleaning spray.

"This is exactly what I want to come home to." I said with sarcasm. "Harry! Clean the glass doors and windows. Liam, start on the steak. Niall, stop eating. And Louis, finish cleaning the rest of the house. They zoomed off with vampire speed and I unloaded the bags. I put each bouquet in a vase and managed to hang the outdoor lights in under ten minutes. Once the decorations were finished, I went inside to help Liam. "Where's everyone else?" I thought at least Tommy would be home.

"He's with Dustin and the gang. They're helping him write his vows." I opened my mouth in an 'o' shape and nodded. Liam and I managed to cook anything from vegan to gluten free to full on carnivore. I set the last plate on the glass formal dining table. I'm proud of the turn out. The backyard looks like an enchanted wonderland.

Everyone started coming out dressed in nice dress shirts which reminded me that I need to change. I ran upstairs and changed into a simple royal blue laced skater dress and brown wedges. I left my hair in its beachy waves and went to check on Kade. She was dressed in her lilac dress which I guess some would say it looked Easter. It did have bunnies in bonnets on it, but it was a year round thing, don't judge. She played with her Twilight dolls. To be honest, they creep me out. Harry got them as a gift. I would've preferred an angel doll, thank you very much.

"You look pretty, Mommy." She gasped dramatically.

"Not as pretty as you." I tapped her nose as she scrunched it up. She put her hand in mine and I guided her to the reception. James held onto Andi while she stumbled at walking. I truly believe that they will be the best of friends.

Dustin took a fork and tapped it against his champagne glass. "First of all, thank you, Karma, from the bottom if my heart. First, you lead me to my mate. Then, you accept me into this group. And now, here we are, standing at the reception of our wedding." He put his arm around Stella's waist and brought her close to him. "I couldn't thank you enough."

I smiled and put my head down. "To a better and stronger future!" Everyone raised their glasses, the children raising juice boxes, and joined in conversation again.

Katelynn, Kellin, and Copeland had come over as well as Louis' sisters, pretty much everyone in our "pack". Katelynn explained why she left. I had no reason to mad, but I was a little disappointed in her. I thought we'd be honest with each other. I knew she was upset and was only trying to protect me, I guess. I forgave her though. Copeland, Kade, and Andiana will be like triplet best friends.
