This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

chapter thirteen

We decided on our date was January 17th and we were getting married at a super pretty venue. 

The maid of honor was going to be my sister, Allison. The best man was Tazer. 

My bridesmaids were: Courtney (my little sister), Jessica, Jackie, and Erica (Patrick's sisters), Abby (Patrick Sharp's wife) and Hanna (my best friend)

Patrick's groomsmen were: Dylan (my little brother,) Conner (one of Patric's childhood best friends), Crow, Duncs, Sharp, and Seabrook. 

We were getting the girls red Blackhawk jersey's with either MAID OF HONOR or BRIDESMAID on the back with my number, 42.

The boys were getting red jersey's with BEST MAN or GROOMSMAN on the back with Patrick's number, 88.

My jersey was white at said BRIDE with the number 42. Patrick's jersey was black and said GROOM with 88.

"I want the red jersey.." I whispered to him before we ordered them

"Well we could both be in red and the girls in white and guys in black."

"Let's do that" I said and Patrick laughed

 A few were arriving in Chicago a few days after we got back. We were staying an extra day to ask the people in Buffalo first.

Patrick took me to all his favorite places in Buffalo and we spent so much time with his family.

We got the jerseys and we were going to his parents to ask his sisters. We handed them each a box and the opened it.

"Will you me my bridesmaids?" I asked

"Hell yes!" Erica said

"Uhh Yeah!" Jackie said

"Oh my gosh, yes!" Jess said

We said our goodbyes and I was scheduling a day to look at dresses and they were all going to come to Chicago.

Next, we went to Conner's place and Patrick introduced us and he was so happy to see Patrick.

Patrick had him open the box and asked, "Will you be one of the groomsmen in my wedding?"

"Of course man!" He said and they did a guy hug

Patrick and I drove back to Chicago and went home and got the Chicago boxes and we drove to my sisters house.

She opened the box and she started crying and said, "Fuck yes, I love you both and I can't wait to be part of your special day." 

We both hugged her and she opened up a small white jersey that said FLOWER GIRL with the number 42.

"Would Audrey be our flower girl?" I asked

"Yes." she said 

We hung out for the rest of the day at Allison's. We filled her in on all the details and we picked a day to go look at dresses.

Patrick and I decided to go to the Sharp's house and Seabrook's house. Seabs three year old son was going to be the ring bearer. We also went to Duncan's house.

Patrick and I were flying to Minnesota now to ask my siblings and after we were taking a trip to Winnipeg to see Tazer. 

We landed and my mom picked us up and took us to our house. Patrick had found a car for us to keep here. We drove to my parents house and asked my siblings to be in our wedding. They were both so excited.

I was staying in Minnesota for another three weeks and Patrick was flying to Winnipeg to see Tazer for four days and then going to Buffalo for two weeks.

I dropped him off at the airport and he looked at me and said, "I love you so much and I'll see you in three weeks..."

I started to cry and I said, "I love you too."

He kissed me quick and pulled me in for a long hug. He kissed my head and he walked into the airport.

I drove home and invited my sisters over for a girls weekend. We watched movies, made our grandma's amazing cookies, and talked for hours.

"So you really love him?" Court asked me

"Patrick?" I asked

"Yeah.." She whispered

"Of course.. I never planned on loving him, but love works in funny ways." I said

She laughed and said, "You're going to get old like Allison now."

"Hey!" Allison said

We all laughed. We always made fun of Allison for getting married because we joked that she was old and when she got married and had kids, she would get older faster.

"Are you and Patrick going to have kids?" Court asked

"Someday.." I said thinking about the future

I was sitting in my bed between my sisters and I was so lucky.

"Patrick spoils you.." Allison said

"I know.. I hope we didn't rush into things. I love him so much, but there is still so much that we don't know about each other." I said 

"That boy is crazy about you. I see the way he looks at you when you aren't looking. He adores Audrey just like you do. He is best friends with Dylan and is always texting me and Court. That boy asked dad for permission and dad said yes.. If dad didn't believe it was the right time or person, he would have said no.." Allison said

"Ashley, Patrick adores you.." Court said

"I know.. Thank you for everything." I said

We watched another movie and we all fell asleep.

The next day we were all looking at bridesmaid dresses. I was going with navy blue dress that Court picked out. 

On September 1st, everyone was coming to Chicago that weekend for dress stuff.

We hung out with Dylan today and just played games. 

I was sleeping at my parents house tonight.

These three weeks without Patrick were so weird, but they flew by.

Before I knew it, I was back in Chicago. My plane landed and Allison picked me up (she was only in Minnesota for a week).

She dropped me off at my place and I walked in and there was my Patrick Kane.

I walked up to him and he kissed me. 

"I missed you.." He whispered

"I missed you too." I said
