5 Years Later

The day had finally arrived. The day that Ashton would make Harley his wife, and their family would be whole. Three years prior to this day, Ashton and Harley welcomed a little boy to their family. Theodore Fletcher Irwin, Ashton's best friend. Sydney was the best big sister to Teddy. She always made sure that Teddy was learning things as he should, and she made sure to help Mommy and Daddy as much as possible. That was still the case on this bright October day. "Mommy, I got the veil!" Sydney said as she ran into the room.

"Thank you, Syd." Harley smiled, taking the veil from Sydney. "Can you make sure your father has gotten your brother dressed?"

"I already checked, Uncle Lukey got him dressed." Sydney smiled proudly.

"Then, we need to get you into your dress." Harley grabbed Sydney's dress from the hanger. 

"Nana can get me dressed, you need to put your big dress on!" Sydney took her dress from Harley and handed it to Hannah.

"She's right, Harley. Let's get you into your dress." Crystal giggled and held her hands out to her. Harley smiled and took Crystal's hands, walking into the back corner of the room. Crystal helped Harley get into her dress. 

"Crystal?" Harley whispered, looking back at her as she zipped her dress.

"Yeah?"

"What if Ashton changes his mind? What if he sees me and realizes this isn't what he wanted?" Harley turned around to face Crystal.

"Harley, you're getting yourself worked up. Ashton would never change his mind about you. He loves you so much. I still remember when he came in to buy the ring. It took him literally 2 minutes to pick out the ring. He already knew exactly what to get, he knew exactly what size to get. He knew you were the one, and he still does." Crystal hugged her gently. 

"I'm so nervous.." Harley sighed, hugging Crystal.

"Hey, it's all gonna be perfect. You've got your daughter and your son here to celebrate the day with you. You have half the town out there waiting to see you and Ashton get married."

"I'm gonna trip when I walk down the aisle." Harley huffed, sitting down on the settee. Crystal shook her head and put Harley's shoes on her. 

"You need to stop putting these thoughts in your head." Crystal helped her up. "Sydney, sweetie, can you go find out if your dad is ready?"

"Yeah!" Sydney grinned. She ran out of the room, her dress flowing as she continued down the hallway to where Ashton was getting ready. She opened the door and walked in. "Daddy?"

"What is it, honey?" Ashton asked from the bathroom. 

"Auntie Crystal needs to know if you ready yet." Sydney said and walked over to where Teddy was playing with his toys. Ashton walked out of the bathroom and looked at Sydney, tears filling his eyes. 

"Daddy, why are you crying?" Sydney asked, furrowing her eyebrows. 

"Because, baby, you look so beautiful." Ashton wiped his eyes and picked her up. 

"Daddy, you're gonna make my dress wrinkly." Sydney whined.

"Right, right, sorry." Ashton chuckled and set her down. "Well, I'm ready. You can tell Auntie Crystal that she can bring mommy out."

"Okay, daddy." Sydney smiled and smoothed out her dress. 

"Hey, take Teddy with you." Ashton instructed. Sydney nodded and pulled Teddy up.

"Come on, Ted. Let's go see mommy." Sydney smiled and held his hand.

"Momma!" Teddy squeals, clapping his hands. Sydney giggled and covered her mouth.
