*Summer's POV*

"I don't know," I sighed, "I think it's too tight." 

My fingers ran down the soft silk fabric, adjusting it around my breasts. The thin material was absolutely beautiful, running over each of my curves, but one stood out the most. 

I held my hands underneath the curve of my stomach, inside Caspar and I's 6 month old baby was growing. My little bump had grown quickly making the past few months fly by. And they were moving even faster now that Caspar had told me he wanted to be married next month. I had turned 20 in August and now that it was September, Caspar was desperate for the wedding. Honestly, so was I.

My mother eyed the dress up and down, one hand on her hip, the other under her chin. I could tell her opinion was going to be the same as mine but from the look on Caspar's mother's face, she loved this dress.

"I agree, it's not very flattering over the little bug." My mother spoke, adjusting the strap on my shoulder.

"Oh no, I love it." Emily chimed in, "I think it looks great and emphasizes the bump, so that the baby can really be a part of the wedding without actually being there."

I sighed at my two mother's disagreement, the stress of the wedding really beginning to hit me. My chest was tight and my breathing was laboured, but my mother's touch on my shoulder was keeping me sane.

"It's totally up to you, dear." The dress assistant spoke to me. 

I nodded slowly and debated for a while before answering;

"I want to try another one please." 

The assistant took my arm firmly, helping me down from the small podium. We slowly walked back into the other room where a rack of dresses hung. Each of them totally different from the other, the individualities of each calling to me. 

The assistant helped me step out of the silk dress and began to hold up a range of different dresses of which one of them I would decide to try on next. 

After a few dresses, she held up one that immediately caught my eye. A smile covered the assistant's face as she saw my eyes light up at the outfit.  

Gently, I stepped into the dress. It glided neatly up my body, my arms slipping through the two arm holes. 

A small gasp slipped from my mouth as I turned and saw myself in the mirror. The dress was perfect. It was a halterneck design, a small piece of chiffon covering my breasts and chest. The rest of it was a gorgeous material, soft and comfortable flowing down every inch of my body. Tears were pricking against my eyes as I looked at myself. I felt beautiful. My baby bump was covered by the outstretch of the dress making it look smaller and less obvious.

"Are you ready to show your family?" The assistant asked softly, a warm smile on her face.

Cautiously I nodded, my legs shaky as I walked. The overwhelming realisation had just hit me, this was what every woman had dreamt of since they were a little girl. This was my wedding dress. 

My heart was thumping so loud in my chest as I walked through hoping my family would approve of my choice. We had been in the shop for way over three hours now and I could tell that it wasn't just me that was becoming rather frustrated.

I took a final step, walking out into the open and into the judging eyes of my family. One by one their jaws dropped. 

"My baby girl." Mum whispered under her breath. 

"That's the one." Emily and Theo both spoke.

"You really like it?" I asked, spinning around to show them the full dress.
