Trouble In Paradise- A Manstead Fanfic (COMPLETE)

Chapter 40- I'm Okay

Natalie POV:

I've been doing well this past week. I still use a cannula but that's because of the tumor in my lungs. They were going to do the surgery but decided I was too unstable to do it when it was scheduled. However I'm feeling so much stronger, and they rescheduled the surgery for next week. Since I got discharged Will has moved back in and we've really started planning the wedding again. My almost dying experience made us realize we can't wait forever.

Zoe has started her chemo and so far the scans are very promising. Owen has been  his usual rambunctious self while still managing to be very helpful. I've been resting in bed while organizing many different things for the wedding. I've managed to get the church reserved, the caterer, and the music. The one thing I still need is a dress.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Will, I promise I'll be carful you know that Maggie won't let me do anything too strenuous." I tell Will as I'm waiting for Sarah, April, and Maggie to pick me up.

"At least use the wheelchair, it will ease my mind."

"I will, I will, don't worry. I shouldn't be gone too long." I say just as Maggie knocks on the door.

I give Will a kiss before I grab my oxygen tank and allow Will to wheel me out to Maggie's car.

"Take care of her." Will says, kissing my forehead, and then closing the door behind us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Zoe, are you excited to see what dress your mommy is going to wear?" I hear Maggie ask as I'm coming out in my fifth dress of the day.

"Yeah!!" She shouts excitedly while bouncing up and down on the velvet, red couch.

"Well you don't need to wait any longer..." I say as I walk out in front of them.

"OH MY GOD NATALIE YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!!" Maggie, April, and Sarah all scream in unison.

I turn around and look in the mirror and I have to admit I do look pretty. The dress is a simple, strapless ball gown with a simple beading design on the top, with a few sparkles in the big, tulle skirt. The dress has a small train however not very long, especially considering I may need the wheelchair on our wedding day. I look in the mirror as a worker comes over and places a veil over my very bald head.

They then hand me a bouquet of beautiful flowers that smells as if I was walking through a garden on a sunny spring day. As I start to turn around I feel the smooth fabric of the veil rubbing against my bare neck. I smile before I even see myself knowing that Will will love it.

As I look in the mirror and I realize that this is the one I start crying. I'm getting married. I'm marrying the love of my life. I'm marrying Will.

These are the moments I miss. Moments where I know that everything will turn out okay. Even though I need oxygen to keep me alive, and I have cancer I know that I'll be okay. As long as I have Will next to me I know that I'll be okay. And right now everything is okay. Everything is going to be fine.

AN: Hopefully you guys enjoyed this! And after this update my chapters will probably get longer! However, I do have my first final next week, and the week after that all of the rest of them. So if I don't update for a while that is the reason. I'm going to try and pre-write a lot of chapters so all I need to do is edit them and stuff.
Also I tried to give you all a slightly uplifting chapter considering it is the finales today. Also, in case you haven't heard the news the actor who plays Ava Becker, and Colin Donnell (Connor Rhodes) are leaving this episode. They will not be back for next season.
