No One Has To Know (My Bestfriend's Dad) EDITED

Ch.22

Today is the day. Today Taylor and I are finally saying I do in front of friends and family. Matt apparently called our parents letting them know what was happening. If they'll show I have no clue, but I guess we will see.

Taylor's family got here last week, and they aren't the happiest that we are getting married. His sisters didn't approve, and his mother thinks we are rushing it. The truth is we are rushing into this.

Taylor has been getting worse, and he decided to refuse the chemo and radiation. He decided on his own he didn't want to live that way. He just wanted to make the time he has left here the best.

He wants to start with our wedding. His wish was to marry the girl of his dreams and I'm her. To tell you I'm nervous as hell would be an understatement.

I went to the church early, and waited for my friend to do hair and make up. Shay was going to show up later, but I knew she'd bring Matt.

Their relationship has been up in the air for awhile trying to decided what they wanted. Matt wasn't sure he was ready for kids or marriage after seeing me go through it.

Knocking on the door pulls me from my thoughts, and I opened the door. "Oh Kaitlynn" My mother gasps pulling me into her arms. "I missed you so much" She gave me a gentle squeeze before reaching to my stomach. I'm 26 weeks now, and have a decent sized bump.

"Matt told me what happened" She closed her eyes sighing. "I brought you a gift. It's something old, new, and blue." She laughed handing me a small wrapped box. I unwrapped it opening it to find the most beautiful necklace.

It was a glass baby tinted blue with Cole's name engraved on the foot.

"This was mine that Henry bought me after we lost our son. It brought me piece having it with me knowing that a piece of him was still remembered. Matt told me about Cole, and I wish you would have called us. You shouldn't have had to go through that alone. My mother was my biggest supporter when I lost Jacob. It's hard to heal when so many people are hurting." I wrapped my arms around the woman I never recognized as my mother. All of these years she tried to have a relationship with me, and I pushed her away.

"I'm scared Mom" The tears slipped through my eyes as tears formed in hers. That's the first time I've ever called her that.

"I know baby, but you don't have to go through this if you don't want to. Marriage is a big deal, and no one will be mad if you wanted to wait until after the baby." She brushed my hair back as I explained that I wanted to marry him. I didn't want something to happen, and we never had the chance to make it official.

She decided on doing my hair and make up for me since she will never get this chance again. I'm her only daughter, and I finally want to open my heart for her.

When Shay arrived Matt said hi to our mom, and went to go check on Taylor.

"Are you ready to get into this dress" Shay squealed holding it up for me. "Please" I laughed taking my robe off. It was nice to have two people helping me get into the dress. Taylor's sister's were set up in a room away from mine, and their mother hadn't even stopped by to check on us. I knew where they stood, but for Taylor's sake I was hoping they would be civil.

"You ready to do this" My mom asked taking my hand leading me to the door. "There's no turning back now" I nervously laughed touching my stomach.

"I know Matt was going to walk you down the aisle, but -" She opened the door where Henry was patiently waiting for us.

"Y-you want to walk me down the aisle?" He took my other hand before kissing my cheek. "I know you never saw me as your real dad, but you're still my baby." His other hand reached to my cheek causing me to lean into it.

"I'm sorry" I started to cry pulling them both into a hug. "Don't cry baby your makeup" My mom hissed fanning my face.

"Let's do this thing" My dad laughed locking our arms together. When we reached the two big doors the young boys opened them when the music started. My dad walked me down the aisle my tears forming as soon as I saw Taylor waiting at the alter.

"After this maybe we can get to know each other" My dad laughed handing me over to Taylor. He kissed my cheek telling me how beautiful I am.

"We are gathered here today to witness the union of Kaitlynn and Taylor. Welcome friends and family! We're glad to have you with us.

Today is the beginning of a remarkable journey for this couple. Drawing on their mutual admiration, respect, and trust, they are ready to embark on the next chapter in their lives. We celebrate the love and light evident in their relationship, and wish them well on this joyous occasion."

Taylor's eyes kept gazing over at me. I'm sure from his angle he has a clear view down my cleavage.

Taylor took my hand bringing my focus back to a quote. "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."

The minister closed his book for a second looking between us.

" I will now invite the couple to share their vows with one another. Kaitlynn and Taylor, the promises you make today are sacred; they are the groundwork from which your marriage will grow and blossom over time.

Taylor, would you like to begin first?"

"Kaitlynn, the moment I saw you walk across the soccer field I knew I wanted you. Your blonde hair blowing in the wind made you look like an angel from heaven. I know this is crazy but I love you. I don't care what anyone thinks, because you are giving me something no one else will. You're letting me marry the girl I love. That girl happens to be you. Pretty soon we'll have a beautiful baby girl, and she'll love you  as much as I will. When I'm not here one day she'll brighten your darkest days. I also promise to love you and be there for you. Kaitlynn I love you, and nothing will ever change that." He shut his eyes causing the tears to freely fall and he took a breath.

"Kaitlynn, your turn." I turned looking at the minister.

"How can I compete with that" I laughed wiping my eyes. Everyone laughed with me, and I took a breath.

" Our first kiss Taylor is when I realized something was different about you. Time stopped right there, and fireworks went off inside my head. I feel safe with you like everything is going to be okay. I want you to stay with me, and have kids and a dog. I want to come home to you every night for the rest of my life. You are everything I need. Promise me that when the time comes, and you end up leaving me that you'll still love me. You'll watch over us, and your baby girl. She needs her father, and she'll remember you. I'll make sure she knows how great you were, and I promise she'll never forget you. " The tears rolling down my face as he reached out to wipe them away.

We joined hands as we continued the ceremony.

"Kaitlynn, before your family and friends, do you take Taylor as your beloved husband, to have and to hold, through laughter and in sadness, through challenges and successes, so long as you both shall live"

"I do" My voice coming out louder than I thought it would.

"Taylor, before your family and friends, do you take Kaitlynn as your beloved wife, to have and to hold, through laughter and in sadness, through challenges and successes, so long as you both shall live?"

"You bet I fucking do" He smiles squeezing my hand.

"Kaitlynn and Taylor, by the power vested in me I happily announce you husband and wife!"

"Taylor you may kiss your bride!"

He didn't skip a beat as pulled me into him dipping me and smashing his lips to mine.

Everyone was cheering, and I saw tears in everyone's eyes. We walked down the aisle, excited for the party. Also excited for the beginning of our lives together.

People clapped as we got into his escalade. He looked over beaming. "I love you" His hand rested on my leg before rubbing my thigh. "I love you" He kissed me again raising his hand a little higher.

"I can't wait to have married sex with you" He groaned tossing his head back.

"Trust me baby I can't wait either"
