Alexander Eaton || A Uriah Pedrad Love Story

Chapter 54

When I woke up the next morning, Uriah was gone. He'd taken the twins and headed to Zeke's to get the three of them ready. I had Adalyn, and I knew that Four would be here soon. I headed down to Adalyn's room and smiled down at her as she slept I knew I'd have to change her soon, but I was hoping I could put it off til she woke up. Luckily, I didn't have to wait very long. She began crying just moments after I'd walked into the room. I changed her before feeding her and dressed her in a cute black onesie.

"Alex?" Four yelled as his walked into the apartment.

"Adalyn's room," I yelled back. He walked into the room, carrying a cup of coffee and some toast as I packed Adalyn's diaper bag. I threw some extra clothes into the bag for the twins as well.

"Good morning baby brother," Four said.

"Good morning Four," I said.

"You almost ready?" He asked.

"I still have to change and shower and do my hair," I said.

"You've got an hour, calm down," he said.

I rolled my eyes as I took the toast and began eating. Four talked about random stuff as I ate. I nodded occasionally, allowing him to talk as much as he pleased.

After I finished, I hopped into the shower and showered quickly. I got out and dried off before dressing in a pair of black skinny jeans and a black button up. I gelled my hair and glanced at my reflection. I didn't look terrible, but my constant exhaustion was obvious in the purple circles under my eyes. My pale skin was red from the heat of my shower, and I was hoping like crazy that it'd calm down before my wedding. The collar of my shirt was being a pain, so I had to pop it up and refold it three times. Well, either it was being a pain or I was overly stressed.

"Alex, come on. You have got to get ready," Four yelled from my bedroom.

"I am ready, thank you," I said. I returned to Adalyn's room and picked her up.

"I've got the diaper bag," Four said. We headed down to the Pit. There was already a crap ton of people there when we arrived. Four took the bag and put it with the rest of my families stuff. It had been decided that I would carry Adalyn down the aisle with me and hold her throughout the ceremony.

"Alex, are you almost ready?" Four asked, returning to the blocked off area where I was waiting for my wedding to begin.

"I am ready, idiot," I responded.

"Calm down the mean words," Four said. "We're going to get started here soon."

"Sounds good," I said.

"I'm gonna go get everyone seated," Four said. I nodded and smiled down at my daughter. I was bouncing her slightly in my arms as she slept.

A few minutes later, Four returned and I headed out to walk down the aisle. Everyone was staring at me, causing a deep blush to rise to my cheeks as I walked. I've always hated being the center of attention. Uriah smiled at me as I approached him.

I stepped up beside Uriah as Four began talking. I wasn't listening all too intently until Uriah said I do. I was memorizing Uriah's face. The small wrinkles that were forming by his eyes as his smile grew more and more.

"Do you Uriah Pedrad take Alex Eaton to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Four asked.

"I do," Uriah responded, smiling even wider.

"And do you Alex Eaton take Uriah Pedrad to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Four asked.

"I do," I said, smiling at him.

"I now pronounce you husband and husband. Now kiss," Four said causing everyone to chuckle. I leaned up and pressed my lips to Uriah's gently.
