Picture Perfect

chapter thirty one

Kai'lani I. Perez

Chris and I have many things to do before the wedding in Hawaii which is less than two weeks away. I've had my dream wedding planned since my junior year in highschool. A few things changed but other than that, I drove straight into getting everything ready. My dress was done and ready to be worn down the aisle. The food, seating arrangements and venue was also done. We just needed to tend to the small things like the plane tickets and stuff like that.

"Babe?! Are you ready?" I inquired. Chris and I were supposed to been left but he was a lazy one and took a twenty minute nap. He came jogging downstairs with Brielle's carseat in hand. I walked out of the house and hit the unlock button to the Range Rover. I walked over to the car and opened the back door. Chris sat Brielle's car seat down and secured her in. I sat her bag on the floor and closed the backdoor. I got into the passenger seat while Chris got into the driver seat.

"Can you believe we're going to be married in less than two weeks?" I inquired as Chris pulled off onto the street.

"I can't. It's just like yesterday I asked you to lunch."

I smiled and thought back to the day we meet. I have to admit, I was hard on him but look where we are now. We're about to be parents and married. Chris pulled into the parking lot of the local pharmacy. He needed to do something for Brielle because she was going to stay here in LA with Nia. I really wanted her to go but I understand Chris's concern about diseases and her getting sick.

Chris got out of the car and walked into the pharmacy. I looked back to see Brielle was awake. I got out of the passenger seat and climbed into the back with her. I took her out of the car seat and sat her in my lap.

"Hey mama." I cooed. She was a health three month year old. She might not be my biological child but I'll treat her as such. She babbled as she laid in my lap. I made sure that she wasn't going to fall. She was a beautiful baby, I hope Chris and I's child comes out looking as beautiful as she does. Chris got back into the car and looked back at us.

"Look at my favorite girls." He cooed as he smiled at Brielle.

"Babe?" He inquired.

"Yes baby?" I inquired.

"Do you think she looks like me?"

"She does a little bit. Why?"

"I was thinking about it and she looks more like one of Karrueche's friends." He admitted. I looked down at Brielle then up at Chris. They kind of didn't look alike.

"We can take her to the doctor to get paternity test when we get back. I know she's yours babe." I assured. He nodded and pulled out of the parking lot. I looked down at Brielle who was nodding off. I placed her back in her car seat and secured her. Honestly I hoping that she is his, I don't know if he could take it if she isn't.

"You hungry babe?" He inquired.

"Yes. Can I get Chick-fil-a?" I inquired. He nodded and drove down the road. I closed my eyes and rubbed my belly. I was slowly inching toward going to sleep. This pregnancy was making me sleep way more than I usually do. Chris turned down the music and reached back. He rubbed my upper thigh and smiled.

"You sleepy babe?" He inquired.

"Yeah and I'm hungry. God all I do now is sleep, eat, and take care of the kids." I sighed.

"It'll be okay babe, these traits might ease up later on. You're just five months, you got four to go."

"I'll probably fall asleep at our wedding." I joked earning a laugh from Chris.

"Don't do that. I would like my bride to be responsive and not sleep while we are saying 'I do'."

"I promise babe." I promised. He pulled up to the window and ordered my favorite meal from here; a spicy chicken deluxe sandwich, fries with a lemonade. I love eating here. Their food was so good especially when you're pregnant and cravings. Chris pulled up to the window and paid. The woman handed him my food and drink. He passed it back and opened the back. I opened the sandwich wrapper and bit into the sandwich.

"This is so good." I moaned out. Chris chuckled and shook his head.

"Anything is good to you except for peanut butter."

"That is true but imagine having to eat for two, you'll be eating anything too." I told him.

"Yeah, yeah. Is Melanie and her fiance coming?" He inquired.

"Of course, she's one of my bridesmaids. You should ask her boyfriend to be your best man since you only have Ty and CJ." I suggested.

"I'll think about it babe."

"Thank you babe." I thanked before popping a fry into my mouth.
