Her Trial's (Running Horses Book 2)

Chapter 11

It's been a week since Cobalt died. Mom has been locked up in her room since, she will barely eat. Dad is really worried about her, we all our. Today we are supposed to look at dresses. I love mom and I loved Cobalt, but she really needs to get out of this funk. Meghan and Elena are brides maids. They are both down stairs waiting on mom and I. Mom is supposed to be my maid of honor. Avery is my flower girl. The wedding is next month. Dad died two months ago. I'm now five months pregnant.

       I walk into moms room and start looking for anoutfit for her. I quickly get her shower started. "Aaron, what are you doing?" "It's time to get up now. Meghan and Elena are here. We are waiting on you." "Why?" I stop digging in her closet and look at her. "Really? Dress shopping today mom. Momma I really need your help." "Ok ok I'm up!" She gets in the shower while I fine her clothes. As she comes out I pass her the outfit as she goes back in the bathroom. "Aaron I don't know about this." "Why? It's super cute and It's about time you felt good again." "Aaron sweetie, I don't have the body for this anymore." I looked at her shocked, "What are you talking about? You look gorgeous." She just looks at me with a raised eyebrow, "Just wait till dad sees you." I giggle she shakes her head. "Aaron there is no way I'm pulling this off." I groan getting off of the bed and go to the door.

       "DAD! PLEASE COME HERE!" "Aaron what are doing?" I just ignore mom and go back to the bed. Dad quickly walks in while mom is in the bathroom. "What? Whats wrong?" "I need help!" "With what?" He just looks at me. "Mom! She don't think she looks good." He chuckles, "Where is she?" I point to the bathroom. He opens the door and stops, I grin as he checks her out. "What is the problem?" "I do not have not have the body for this dress any more, three kids will do that." I sigh in exasperation. "Mom you look gorgeous. Dad please help me!" I beg him. He just stands there looking at her with a smirk. "She is right babe, you look absolutely gorgeous." She rolls her eyes. I just groan and lay on the bed. "Shs is impossible!" I mumble to my self, Dad laughs at me. He leans against the door frame shaking his head. "Aaron come here please. Stand next to mom." I quickly make my way to her. I notice he pulled out his phone. "Babe hold her." Mom and I both look at him. Mom has a cocked eyebrow. "Just humor me. Both of you." We both sigh and hold eachother. "Smile!" He said grining. As soon as we smile we hear a click. "Babe what are you doing?" Mom asked still holding me. I rest my head on her. He looks at us both, "You want to know what I see?" "Hmm?" Mom is clearly not amused. He walks up to us tucking our hair behind our ears. "I see two very beautiful women that mean the world to me. Look at what I see." He hands us the phone. Mom and I both smile as she holds me tighter. "Go have fun. You both look absolutely gorgeous. I love you both."
I smile and hug him. "Thank you daddy. I love you to." I make my way out of the room.
