The Arrangement

Somthing blue barrowed old and new

*Claire's POV*

"So how do you really feel about him?" Jackie ask sitting on the porch just us rapped up in blankets and a heater watching it snow

"I love him" I say smiling

"I'm not you mom  sweetie you can tell me"

"He is great, kind, carrying, attentive. I honestly love him Jacks!" I say tearing up

"Oh sweet, your crying" Jackie says whipping the tear away with her gloved hand

"I've been doing that a lot. Like when Louis and I went to get my dresses and cried when I put it on not because it was the dress in my head but because it was the dress I saw Harry at the end of the church. I want his last name Jacks I know I said it wouldn't work but I was so unbelievably wrong. I can't go a few hours with out missing him like its killing me to be this far from him I miss his voice how do you miss a voice " I smile

"Okay I'm officially actually jealous of you guys now" Jackie says hugging me "you think the snow is gonna last another week?"

"Let's hope so" I look at the snow fall "I want a winter wedding not a soaking wet wedding" we both giggle I hear a vibration from Jackie's pocket she pulls out my phone

"Louis say thay are here"  she says confused

"Your dresses are done and Louis picked them up" I laugh "Your actually going to love them"

"Good cause if I don't like it I'm not wearing it" she says and we both laugh "Here" she says handing me her phone

"You said..."

"I know what I said, this isn't your phone you have fifteen minutes" she says standing going in side as I dial the number quickly

I hear the ringing for a while

"Look I don't know how you got this number but I need privacy even if you are a fan so please don't call again good bye love you"

"Hi baby" I say before he hangs up

"Beautiful!" Harry says existed less tired then before

"Hi baby, I love the greeting" I laugh

"This isn't your phone so I thought my number got leaked" he says "how is my beautiful bachelorette?"

"She is good missing your voice and your touch and"

"Beautiful if you keep going I'm going to have to force Louis to tell me where you are and come get you and you come home tomorrow so I'm doing good"

"Fine, your doing good? You haven't gone into Louis room?"

"Not once, and I am hurt that you think I would be so weak"

"Louis said the girls dresses came "

"Yeah we went to get them they look like the pictures and they are the right color"

"That's great" I smile "I'll have to treat you for being so helpful" I laugh

"Yes please" he laughs

The door opens and Jackie pops her head out "that's time!" She says walking over "tell him bye and see you tomorrow"

"Harry my fifteen minutes are up"

"Oh okay well bye I love you"

"I love you too see you tomorrow" I say before the phone is taken out of my hand" come on let's go inside your can't get cold feet"

I walk in sitting in the chair by the fire

"Okay last part of this party gifts" Jenna says

"Oh no this week has been enough" I say

"You need these things" Amanda says pulling out four boxes

Amanda  hands me a medium size box I pull the bow apart and open the box and inside a pair of soft blue shoes that match the wedding color

"Something blue" I gasp slipping them on

Jenna hands me a smaller box I open it seeing the necklace she wore on her wedding

"I'm letting you borrow it I want it back" she laughs I stand hugging her

Amanda hands me another medium box as I open it I'm shocked

"Is this lingerie?!"

"Some thing  new  to keep him wanting more" we all laugh

The last box Jackie is holding she moves to sit on the table in front of me handing me the box when I open it I'm confused

"My veil and a bouquet cover?" I ask looking up

"I remember when we were little we were at your grandmas house and we found her wedding dress and you fell in love with it from that moment but part of it got ruined in the storm a few years ago. And I know it's killing you that she isn't here to see you get married" Jackie takes my hands as we both tear up "I couldn't get her dress restored but I could salvage some of it the veil you picked out had lace on it so I got them to put the lace from her dress on the veil and the bouquet cover is made from the fabric that wasn't ruined. So I made it your something old"

"Oh Jackie" I say on the verge of crying

"Turn the cover over"

I turn it over seeing a small framed picture of my grandmother sewn on to it

"I know it's not the same as having her at the wedding or wearing her dress but"

"It is" I say tears running downhill my face my words causing her to look up at me "It is" I stand up holding her holding for a while before hugging the other girls

"You want to try on the veil?" Jackie asks

"No not yet I want to have it on with my dress" I wipe the last of my tears away
