May 19th - thursday morning - wedding day

8:19 AM

The sun peaked through the black out curtains of the hotel Beaumont in Tulum, Nevada where the happy couple was being married. Tori woke up in her hotel room with excruciating pain in her abdomen. Her eyes immediately opened as she glanced around the dark room. Her mother slept peacefully beside her and her friends were in the next bed over. "Oh my gosh," Tori whispered. Quietly, the bride-to-be left the bed and headed to the bathroom.

Tori stood for a second in front of the sink, waiting for the pain to pass, but it became too intense too quickly, and Tori felt sick. She hopped over to the toilet as everything she had eaten the night before spilled out. The pain died down, and Tori could finally breathe.

"Babe?" Laura called, coming around the corner. Tori nodded, washing her mouth out and putting her hair up. The older mother could tell her daughter was lying, by how pale her skin was and how she was starting to lean over the counter. Laura rushed to her daughter's side and helped her sit on the edge of the tub. "Victoria, talk to me, what's going on?" Laura asked. Tori, unable to speak form the recurring pain, dropped her head and slowly shook it. She just needed a minute. Tori couldn't collect her thoughts, or even form a sentence. But she knew one thing. This pain needed to leave. She could not get married if she couldn't even stand on her feet for more than two minutes.

10:17 AM

Tori came back to the room after she and André signed the marriage license, to get her makeup done. It was weird to think that she and André were technically married, even though their ceremony was still less than two hours away.

Tori was excited, but she was more excited that the pain had died down. It was still there, and it was constant, but it was definitely manageable-ish. There were still moments that knocked Tori off of her feet, but she was no longer nauseous. She was almost sure though, that she was going to have her first period in almost two years, now that she was no longer breastfeeding Joey and Jaxon. Which sort of wrecked her honeymoon plans, since she and André settled on Bora Bora. So, hopefully, mother nature and God were on her side and would hold off for another two weeks.

11:45 AM

"Hold still," Kayla whispered. "We have to get you down the aisle in 15 minutes," she warned while fixing Tori's makeup for the third time in an hour. Tori couldn't help it though, the pain was becoming worse and her tears were inevitable.

"Hold on, hold on," Tori whispered pushing everyone back. She took a seat in a desk chair and took a deep breath. Kamari and Kayla stared at her for a second before hearing a call from behind the door. The teenager barged into the hotel room to see no movement.

"What's the holdup? The band isn't sure when to start," Noah asked, before seeing his sister hunched over in the chair. "What the hell?" He whispered. Kamari pulled him back a bit as Tori silently tried to breathe.

"Give her a second. She is in pain, and we don't know why," Kamari insightfully, replied. The three watched for a second to see Tori's face change as if a spark went off.

"I can't get married. I need to get out of this dress. Noah, go get mom and Dré!" Tori demanded. In a panic, Noah sprinted out of the room and Tori slowly stood up as Kamari and Kayla sprang into action.

"Why are we taking off the dress? You don't want to wait this out?" Kamari asked as they started to strip her and grab a different outfit. Tori shook her head and did her best to put on the other outfit as her husband and mother came into the room.
