The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 22

~1 month later~

Taylor's P.O.V

I stare at myself in the mirror.  I take a deep breathe.  I can do this.  No cold feet.  I turn to the side to look at my belly.  It is still small. I hear I am supposed to start growing the second month pf pregnancy.  That is when the cub is supposed to grow the most.  After three months it is supposed to stop growing.  

I turn back to look at my whole body.  Emily stares at me too.

"You are the most beautiful bride ever.  I still cannot believe you are getting married before me.  Stupid fiancé.  I cannot belive he wants to wait till after the rogues are taken care of." She sighs,"Oh well, at least we are getting married.  I would go into a deep depression."

"You do not think that I am making a big mistake. I am still so young.  Maybe we should just wait.  Maybe in a year or two."

Emily comes up to me and puts her hands on my shoulders.

"It is going to be okay.  Trust me it is going to be worth it at the end.  Plus, you are already having his baby.  This is making it you more of an honest woman.  That man loves you.  He will never let you go.  Also, if it came to it, we will both drag you down that aisle ourselves.  You are beautiful, okay."

I smile at her. I turn to look at myself one more time.  My white dress is the prettiest one that I have ever seen.  It was like it was made for me.  It is Vera Wang.  I fit into it perfectly.  I had to make sure that I did not gain any weight the next month though.  I heard that you do not alter Vera to fit you, you alter you to fit Vera.  I am glad that I am still the same.  I was worried the being pregnant would affect it.  I am glad it did not.  

I walked to the set of dubble doors the are separting me and my future.  My bridesmaids, which happens to be Emily, walks down the aisle.  They close the doors after she walks out.  I take a deep breathe.  I hope that Alex likes the dress. He has never seen me in it yet.  Emily made sure of that.  

My father is standing beside me, about to give me away.  I realize that I have a hard grip on his arm.  He squeezes my hand.

"It is going to be okay. Alex is a lucky man.  Here I though no man was good enough for my daughter, and once again I was proven wrong."  I smile at him.

"Thank you daddy."

"Only if your mother could be here for this.  She would have loved to see you in that dress.  You do look beautiful honey."

"Thank you.  I wish she could be here too."  That was when the music came on giving me my cue to start walking down the aisle.  I dubble doors open, and we start walking.  I thought I was going to fall then I looked at Alex.  He is looking down at the ground.  When he looks up to face me he freezes.  I smile forms on his lips.  He looks like the happiest man alive.  I turn to look at the best man, Mike.  He is smiling too.  Emily is also smiling.  I am glad she talked some sence into me.  

When we reached the stage, Alex came to greet me at the bottom of the stairs.  My father kisses me on the cheek then shakes Alex's hand, and places my hand in his.  He leads me to the top of the stage were the preacher is.  

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Alex Guthery and Taylor Smith," he said.  After that I zoned out.  I looked into Alex's eyes.  They are shining.  They are the most beautiful eyes ever. Before I knew it we are saying our vows.

"Taylor, since the moment I met you, I was already in love.  You are the most beautiful, honest, caring, loving, and smartest girl I have ever met.  You saw me for who I really am.  You never gave up when you were after something.  You tried to see the good in people even though it was hard.  You never tried to be someone you are not.  When I have tried imagining my life without, I realized that I could not.  I realized it was a world I did not want to live in.  I was scared that I would lose you.  Now I do not have to be.  If you say yes to me, I promise to be faithful, honest, trustworthy, and selfless.  I will love you and our new family.  I love you so much Taylor."

Tears threatened to leave my eyes.  I am not sure that I can top that.

"Alex.  I will tell you now that I never pictured my life to turn out this amazing.  When I met you, my heart new you were the one.  I have loved from the very first word you said.  I look into your eyes and I see love, honesty, trustworthiness, and many more.  That is all I ever wanted in a man.  You have proved to me many times over and over that you are who you say you are.  You see the world in a way that I cannot.  You saw the real me.  You helped me when I was lost.  You picked me back and helped me stay on my feet.  You have a way of seeing the world.  A way that no one else does, and if you say yes to me then I will be able to see the world through your eyes.  The most loving, caring, honest, and terribly handsome man I have ever met."

"Alex, do you take Taylor to be your lawful wedded wife.  To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, , to love, honor, and obey, in good time and bad, for richer or for poorer for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do with all my heart," he said.

"Taylor, do you take Alex to be your lawful wedded husband?  To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to love, to honor, and obey, in good time and bad, for richer or for poorer for as long as you both shall live."

"I do with all my heart."

"From the power invested in me, I pronouce you man and wife.  Alex you may kiss your bride."

"My pleasure," he said before crashing his lips to mine.  We kissed for a good 30 seconds.  There was hoots and aww's behind us.  We pulled apart.  I started laughing while there was tears in my eyes.  This is the happiest day of my life.  I go to marry my best friend.  

We walked down the aisle hand in hand.  While walking down the ailse, Alex threw a fist in the air.

"Yawhoo."

Everyone started laughing.  He is the happiest man alive.  I can tell.  I am glad I did not back out of this.  Emily was right, it will be worth it at the end.  I know already that we are going to be happy.
