The single dad || phan

Phil's POV

*four years later*

Today was our wedding day... this was terrifying... and exciting. I would be able to marry the love of my life. And our beautiful daughter would be there and her best friend who was almost like a part of the family now would be there. They were both in high school now. Both in year 8.

I looked in the mirror at my tux. I never looked right in a tux but Dan always said I looked amazing so what did it matter.

Since we got engaged I got in contact with my brother. Since I got kicked out I hadn't spoken to him. I was too scared to talk to him incase my dad found out where I was. It was stupid, I know but I didn't want him ruining my life again. But me and Martyn bonded over the years and I invited him to the wedding. Apparently my dad died a few months ago. I was upset, of course, he was my dad after all. But I had a sense of relief wash over me. He couldn't hurt me anymore, but it didn't stop the nightmares or panic attacks. Since his death I started speaking to my mum again. I also invited her to the wedding. I still hadn't met up with them since my 16th birthday. They hadn't met Dan or Lucy. They would meet them for the first time today.

We had invited a lot of my old friends and Dan's aswell. Dan's family was invited of course.

I got called down by Louise to come down to the venue from my hotel room.  I took a deep breath as I stepped out of the room. We walked to the elevator and we got in and pressed the ground floor button.

"How you feeling?" Louise asked.

"I'm nervous but I'm so happy. I just hope I don't pass out to be honest" I answered truthfully.

"Yeah, I guess passing out will be a bummer" Louise laughed slightly, "but don't worry, I'm sure it will be okay..."

"You say that but my mother and brother are both here and I haven't seen either of them since I was 16, when I got kicked out, one reason for being gay and they are at my wedding where I'm getting married to another man, but at least my dickhead of a dad is dead I guess" I smiled. Louise smiled back.

"Just don't think too much about it all, okay" Louise said and I nodded. We walked out of the elevator to the room in while I would be married in, where there were around 40 people in rows. I walked down to the front and made sure the rings were there, be a bit difficult to get married without them, you see.

Two people walked up to me. I didn't really recognise them, which I thought to be strange.

"Phil?" The man asked.

"That's me..." I smiled.

"I've missed you so much, bro!" He said as he hugged me. It must have been Martyn then.

The woman next to him must have been my mum. She was crying. "Mum?" I whimpered. She put her arms around me.

"I've missed you more than anything, I love you so much Philly" she cried. She released me from the embrace.

"I've missed you too" I smiled.

"I can't believe you are getting married and I haven't met them yet" my mum laughed slightly.

"Yeah, I'm sure you will love Dan, he's amazing. And he's a doctor" I smiled, "we actually met in the hospital where he was my doctor and he saved my life, but that was over ten years ago" I laughed, "oh and I should let you know that if I pass out at some point that it's fine, it's a medical problem I have after a head injury caused in childhood, my 12th birthday to be precise..."

"I'm so sorry I didn't stop him Phil, I really am" she cried.

"It's fine now go and sit down, save the crying for when I say I do, okay..." I smiled. She sat down and so did Martyn.

I turned around and took a few deep breaths, so I didn't pass out.

We decided on Dan walking down the aisle because he's the bottom in this relationship.

The song 'a thousand years' started to play. Everyone stood up. The back doors opened and Lucy and Dylan came out of the doors linking arms. They walked slowly down and I smiled at their happy faces. Oh god Dan looks so good right now. He had a Black tux on and he was smiling at me with that amazing smile of his. The two most adorable dimples on his cheeks.

This was the best moment of my life. I smiled back at him as a tear fell from my eye and down my cheek. I love him so much. He's my world. My everything. I took a deep breath. This was all so overwhelming. I didn't want to pass out today. I wanted to get the most out of it all.

Dan came up to me and engulfed me in a hug.

"You okay?" He whispered to me.

"As long as you are here I will be" I replied to him.

We ended the hug and held hands. Everyone sat down. The official started to speak.
