♡Chapter 43♡

*Michael's Point Of View*

Today's the day. I couldn't be anymore elated than I am right now. Today we start over. All of the negative past will be left there. A sun will shine on our better life and next chapter. I awake to a empty bed. I hate sleeping without her. Even though it was my idea to act as if this was our wedding day, therefore we haven't seen each other since yesterday evening. I can't wait to see her in the dress, it's all I've been thinking about. As for the kid's, the boy's are in a hotel room next to mine. Bill is also with me, so I'm not totally alone. I sit up and yawn. When I think back on my life from being a adolescent to now, I realized I have lived quite the life. And because of being in love to This wonderful woman, it made every moment worth while. I smile to myself and tear away from the bed to prepare myself for the day ahead. My first duty is to make sure the rings are ready. I walk towards my bathroom to freshen up. After thirty minutes, I am fresh and ready to go. I grab my phone and wallet and head out to gather the rest of my group....

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

"Girl that's the third time you've puked today, are you sure you're okay? ", Janet asked rubbing my back while I curl over the toilet, hurling. I nod leaning up wiping my mouth. Janet giggles. "Between you and Yuli, I just don't know... ", She joked. I let out a little laugh. "Thanks for helping... I better get ready", I said standing up. Janet nods. Today I have to get beautified, curtsy of Janet and my mother (Melinda). It's actually weird knowing Katie isn't here. I grab a brush from the bathroom counter and brush my kinky curls up a bit. Once my hair was in a medium poof ball, I call for Janet so we can go. Janet pops her head from around the corner. "You rang?", I giggles. "Let's go...", She squeals and nods. I follow giggling...

*Bill's Point Of View*

"Uhh Michael we need to hurry up if you want these suits fitted!", I yelled from the waiting room. Michael is walking around the jewelry store. Brandon sighs clearly bored. "I wish they would give him the darn rings..", He breathed shifting in his chair. I glance over at him. "Who pooped in your oatmeal?", I asked trying to lighten the mood. Dylan bursts into laughter. I can't help but chuckle. He is such a character even if it's from his ADHD. "I'm just bummed, this guy...I..he's my friend and He basically blew me off today... I wanted dad to meet him...", Brandon explained glancing at his phone blankly. I sigh and wrap an arm around him. "Look, maybe something came up...", I tried to convince him. He gives me a small smile. "Maybe...", I open my mouth to say something but Michael reemerges seemingly out of no where. "Alright! Sorry took me so long but I have the rings... let's get a move on!", Michael exclaimed motioning for us to stand. We quickly stand and make our way to our next stop...

*Marilyn's Point Of View *

In forty-five minutes, I will be reinstated as Mrs. Jackson. I can't believe all that has happened in the last month leading up to this. Every time I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes. So since I've been thinking about it all morning, I've had my make-up fixed five times. As of now, I'm waiting on my dress. I hear a knock on the dressing room door. "Come in!", I yelled playing with my hair, which has been replaced with long extensions. I hear a few giggles before Janet,Yuli, Latoya, my mother Melinda, Melissa and Jasmine reveal themselves. I squeal once my eyes set on Melissa. "Oh my God Melissa!! ", I exclaimed walking to her. She giggles before meeting me in a tight hug. "Oh God it's been awhile Marilyn, Girl I missed you! ",She squealed releasing our hug. I nod. I haven't talked to Melissa since my 'separation' from Michael. "We have to catch up After this!", "We do! as for now we need to get dressed and get you into this dress!", She enthused as Janet walked up to us with a garnet bag. I gasp. "This is it?", She nods and pushes me gently to the back where The bathroom was. "Hurry up we have like thirty minutes! ", I laugh harder and scrambled into the bathroom...

*Michael's Point Of View*

"Bill where are they?", I asked glancing at my watch for the fifteenth time this past hour. Bill chuckles. "She's a woman...She's going to be late...", I sigh, looking out into our family and friends. Everything looks beautiful, We decided on an outside event, that we would bring inside. Outside we have a theme of white and gold. The white chairs have a gold bow on each of them. Between the two rows are beautiful white rose petals leading to the mini alter where a local priest will remarry us. The entire ceremony includes, a serenade by the one and only Brian McKnight. He's performing Back At One. I glance at my watch growing impatient, I think the guest are growing impatient as Well. "Bill..I know you're one of my grooms men but...I need you to break character and find those women... please ", I instructed turning to him. He sighs and nods. I take in a deep breath to calm myself. Within minutes Bill return smiling. "In one...two...", He counts, pointing to Brian on three. I glance at Bill in question. He just points to the approaching flower girl(Jasmine) bridesmaids(Yuli, Janet, Latoya, Melissa and Melinda) Groomsmen (Ryan, Eddie, Patrick, Jermaine, and Marlon ). Brandon stands besides Bill as my best man. I smile at everyone. "One...Two...there she is...", Bill whispered, grinning foolishly. I chuckle until my eye's meet hers. In that moment the world stopped. She walked slowly, arm linked with Joseph. Her hair extensions flowed to the middle of her back. And the dress, my God. It isn't a wedding dress, not even close. It's a white form fitting mermaid formal gown. It brought our her beautiful, smooth chocolate skin. She was just a foot away now. We have yet to break our stare. I wait until Joseph hand's her over to Bill who walks her the rest of the way. Marilyn kisses Bill's cheek once she reaches me. "Hi papa...", She whispers bashfully. I blush a bit. "Hey babygirl...", I whispered back....
