Wedding Plans

Sabrina

1 year later

"Bambino stay on your side of the bed." I groan. "Love that's not me." He says, "You're the one that's on my side." I slowly open my eyes to see Kyro and Kehlani on top of me, smiling. They place both of their hands on my cheeks saying, "Mama." I sit up and give them each a kiss. I whisper in their ear. "Wake up Daddy."

They crawl to Gabe and wake him up. He sits up on the bed, looks at me and give me a kiss. "Good morning, Love." I smile, "Good morning." I give him another kiss.

We have almost everything for our wedding. My dress and shoes have already come in. Claire, Alexis, and the girls have their dresses for the wedding. Next week the men and Daniel are having their tuxedo fittings, and I'm going with Rachel to find a dress for the wedding next week. Other than that, we've paid the caterers, the band, and the DJ. All we need now is a venue, the cake, the floral arrangements, wedding invitation, RSVP, and get fitted one more time. Hell, we still haven't picked out our wedding bands. Gabe and I have been so caught with work and the kids, we haven't had the time to actually sit down and talk about the wedding.

He nods, "What time are we leaving?" I grab Kyro and get out of bed. He grabs Kehlani. "9 o'clock. I want to get home by 9 p.m. or maybe midnight tonight. If not, we will have to sleep at a hotel."

I hear the door open, and our three angels run in our room and hop in our bed. They give Gabe and I kiss, and we kiss them back. "Are you guys happy that your Nonna and Nonno are coming over? They said they have a surprise."

"We are, but we want to go with you." Bella brings out her big blue puppy dog eyes. After living with Gabe and my beautiful children, I've learned to not give in with their big, beautiful eyes. "I know Bella, but we'll be back before you know it. When we get back me, you, and your sisters are gonna go shopping for your dresses for the wedding, how does that sound?"

Mahogany and Bella both smile. Gabe and I lay in our big bed and cuddle with our kids before we start to get ready for the day.

Gabriel

"What about that one Love?" I ask. She shakes my head, "Sorry Gabe, but no." I sigh, "Sorry Gabe, but none of this screams our perfect wedding."

"We can scratch Miami." We've traveled to almost every state today to find the best place to get married. But not a single one is not pleasing us.

"I'm sorry, but I want to get married where I know I'll feel loved. Where our family can enjoy and where we can have fun with the kids and be alone?"

"Italy?" I question. She smiles, "Exactly! LET'S GO TO ITALY AND GET MARRIED!" We get in the car and drive to the airport. We get on the plane and ride to Italy. When we get there, we see paparazzi flashing lights and taking asking us questions about the wedding we walk around Rome to find our wedding coordinator. As we're walking, Sabrina stops and looks at the Trevi Fountain. "Bambino it's beautiful." She smiles

I pull a coin out of my pockets, "Would you like to make a wish?" She smiles, "Yes." She takes the coin. She closes her eyes, throws the coin backwards into the fountain, and open her eyes, staring at me. She kisses me and smile. "What did you wish for Love?"

"You'll figure it out when the time comes."

"Can I ask you something? Did your birthday wish ever came true?"

"You remember that? I can't believe you remember that." She nods, "Yes it did come true."

"What was it?"

"That you would propose to me right, and you did. That I could have kids again and a happy family. I guess my wishes did come true." She kisses my lips.
