Winter's Love

Chapter 33: Winter's Love 2

Mama Ortiz

"Ma, none of these colors are appealing." Honey stated, growing agitated.

This was the 10th set of swatches, I'd shown this child since we'd crossed this bridge of planning. While she was breast feeding Keelan, I picked through a few more colors.

"What about these three?" I questioned, laying them side by side.

"I love the emerald, cream, and gold. However, the purple, burgundy, and orange fits the months of October, and November."

Qasim came out of the back with Kaylin in one arm and Kaleb in the other.

"Those colors are nice, I even like the cinnamon, yellow, and beige colors." he added, switching off children.

Kaylin refused to latch on for breast feeding, so they fed her through a bottle.

"Since you're getting married, and having the reception at the vineyard, the purple, burgundy, and orange will look amazing."

Qasim and O both agreed with my suggestions for colors.

"I'm getting excited thinking about all the gorgeous decorations. Since we have colors out of the way, what are the invitations going to look like?" I questioned, sitting the different stationery out.

Q and O both pointed to the burlap stationery. Nodding my head, I placed a marker over the burlap invitations.

"Ma, I only have two bridesmaids, and I don't have that many friends" O stated, scrunching her face up.

"You don't have to have a really big wedding. It can be a really intimate ceremony."

"What about the two girls at the shop. You all are cool enough for that, right?" Q questioned, patting Kaylin on the back.

Honey nodded in agreement. She sent out a group text, immediately gaining a response.

"Ma, I want you to give me away"

I felt bad for a moment- knowing that should be her father's job.

"It will be my pleasure to give you away" I responded, smiling widely.

Qasim went to lay Kaylin and Kaleb down. Keelan was wide awake.

"Okay, we have colors, stationery, the venue, catering through them, and Liese wants to take the pictures. Q already reserved the cars he wanted. Are you sure you'll be able to do your own hair, and makeup?"

"Mama, you might need to hire someone to do your makeup. Thats less stress on the actual day." Q suggested.

O was stubborn and when she set her mind to something, that was it. She's always been adamant about doing her own hair, and makeup for her special day.

"As the date gets closer, I will decide if I need help" she responded, making faces at Keelan.

He gurgled and slobbered as if he was agreeing.

Q kissed her forehead and grabbed Keelan. He took him down the hall.

I needed a wedding listing break.

"So, we have a lot of appointments tomorrow. Are you getting nervous or excited?"

"I have a mixture of both going on. I'm nervous because I want everything to come together perfectly, and I'm excited to be marrying my best friend"

I smiled at my baby girl. I never thought I would see the day when my baby would be in love. Hell, I never thought anybody would want to deal with her mean ass. I never thought she would be someone's parent. But, God knew better than I did.
