His Forever Flame

47. Kelly & Shay say "I Do"

After learning of Kelly and Shay's engagement and upcoming wedding, the planning started immediately. They had just a week to get it done and ready. Lauren was excited, and Jay loved watching her with all the planning. The babies were growing and doing really well. They cooed more and were more alert, and it was such fun watching them grow, change, and learn new things. To say things at home were good would be an understatement. Things were better than good and he was beyond happy.

However, things at work for Jay had been a little rocky. Erin had been weird acting since that night he got her from the cemetery, but he tried to ignore her. He never spoke unless he had to, and he avoided being anywhere alone with her as much as possible. Of course all this did was aggravate and frustrate Erin to no end. She had no idea why he couldn't see things the way she did, or why he couldn't love her back like the way she loved him. She was reaching her breaking point again, but this time she hid it much better. He'd never know what hit him until it was already over and done.

The wedding was quickly approaching. Lauren, Shay and Gabby had found the perfect dresses. Kelly would be left speechless with Shay's, and Lauren and Gabby would shine beside her in their fall-like bridesmaid dresses. They had picked the perfect location too.

Shay wanted something unique but still elegant. She wanted something that would highlight their life and personalities, but still be elegant and beautiful for a wedding. When Gabby had mentioned a distillery, Shay had first thought she was crazy. But after looking online at pictures and different places, she fell in love with the idea.

She and Kelly had decided on the Chicago Distilling Company. The outside screamed fire hall, but the inside could be decorated to be elegant enough for the wedding she desired. The guys all thought they were the luckiest around to be having a wedding at a distillery. They had praised her choice endlessly.

The day of the wedding was finally there. The wedding was perfect; the sun was shining, the leaves were changing, and it wasn't too cold yet. Shay, Lauren, and Gabby were all getting ready at Lauren and Jay's, while the guys got ready at Kelly and Shay's. Jay had taken the babies up to Will and Nat's while the girls got ready. They had found Jayla a dress to match the bridesmaids, and Jayden had a baby tux to wear. Shay thought they were the cutest most adorable babies around.

Gabby had just finished her make-up and Lauren was finishing her hair. "Nervous?" Lauren asked with a chuckle.

"No. Surprisingly, I'm not. I'm excited and ready."

Lauren smiled. "Me too, sister."

They got Shay in her dress and she was stunning. It was an elegant, simple off the shoulders wedding dress that really showed off Shay's beauty. "Kelly is not going to know what hit him," Lauren smiled.

The girls got in their bridesmaid dresses, and there was a knock at the door. It was Jay and the twins. "You girls ready? It's time," he called.

"We're coming," Lauren smiled grabbing their bouquets off the table on their way out the door. Will and Nat were waiting downstairs. The twins were going to ride with them so the girls could all ride together. Lauren kissed each baby as they put the carriers in Will's car. Once they were all situated, they headed to the distillery.

All of the fire hall, some of Med, and everyone at PD except for Erin would be at the wedding. It was just their close friends and family. Simple and sweet as Shay had said. They pulled up and parked in the designated spot for the bride. Jay gave Lauren a kiss and then got out to get the twins.

"Showtime," Lauren smiled handing Shay her bouquet. Shay returned her smile and gave her a hug. They walked to the door and you could see inside without anyone seeing them yet. The chairs were all in rows, white string lights hung all around with tulle sashes draped from row to row. There was an archway decorated with lights and fall flowers where Kelly was waiting.
