Leah's POV
*play a thousand years by Christina Perri while reading this it's the first dance song*

Words cannot describe the emotions I am feeling right now. It feels like a constant rollercoaster of ups and downs. On minute I can not control my excitement the next I'm so nervous I could throw up, but I guess both of these things could be because I'm pregnant.

Right now I'm standing in my dressing room by myself waiting for Hazel to bring in the dress. As I stare into the mirror in my gown can see my bump start to form. I place my hand on top of it and rub it slightly. I smile into the mirror. I can't believe it's true in less than 6 month I'm going to be a mom.

I hear a knock on the door. "Leah can Alexa and I come in," Haley say from behind the door. "Yeah sure," I say and quickly wrap up my gown. Alexa come running in and jumps into my arms. She is wearing a little navy gown like mine that says flower girl on the back.

"Hey little monkey," I say with a smile.
"Aunt Leah, I missed you," she says as she hugs me tight. I laugh a little. "Baby you saw me last night," I say.
"I still missed you, and beanie," I giggle at her nickname. I told Alexa the news shortly after Haley found out and when Luke called our baby little bean Alexa heard and started to call them beanie.

"Talking about beanie, How are you feeling," Haley say as she sits next to me on the sofa.
"I'm okay, I haven't been sick yet today so they are behaving," I say with a smile. "Can she just come out already I wanna play dress up with her," Alexa says as she pats my bump slightly.
"Soon monkey, I promise, but we don't now if beanie is a girl," I say as I place my hand on top of hers. "She better be Jason, uncle Luke, daddy, grandpa and pops are enough boys," she says and haley and I laugh. "What do you think it is?" Haley asks. "I think it's a girl but Luke is certain it's a boy," I say with a smile because Alexa starts to kiss my bump.

Just then Hazel pops her head in the door and Alexa and Hazel leave so I can get ready.
"It is so beautiful hazel," I say as I pull her into a hug. "Well I can't take all the credit it takes a beautiful girl to make a dress beautiful," she say as she hold me slightly closer mindful of both our bumps.

"I love you girl, thank you so much," I say as I slowly pull away, getting emotional. "I love you too, now there is no time for tears let's get your makeup done," she says with a smile. I nod, "okay go put on your dress, I'll call Sophie." I say with a smile.

Soon Sophie walks in and smiles at me in my dress. "Who would've though Leah James was getting married," she says with a smile. As she pulls me into a hug, "Who would've though Leah James would be having a baby," I let slip my hand flying to my mouth. "What! Oh my god you are pregnant. Ahhh! I'm gonna be an aunt, if it's a girl I'm gonna..." I quickly place my hand on her mouth trying to shush the biggest gossip in all of South Africa.

"Soph, you can't tell anyone no one knows not even my parents," I say before taking my hand off her mouth. She laughs and nods her head. "Look at my innocent bestie getting busy," she says with a smirk. "Yeah well I had one hell of a birthday I'll tell you that," I say quietly and she giggles. Come on let's get you done. She does my makeup and goes to get ready with the other bridesmaids.

Xxx

I stand at the top of the beach from where I will walk to marry the love of my life. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach as the music starts and Alexa and Jason walk out. Alexa throwing white rose petals and Jason holding the ring. I feel nauseous and rest my head on my fathers shoulder. "You alright baby girl," he says as he kisses my head. "I will be," I say softly, he smiles slightly and links my arm in his. "I love you so much Leah and I'm so proud of you," he says as he hold me tighter. "I love you too dad," I say as I smile up at him.

We walk down the hill toward the alter. It is designed beautifully, it has a white carpet laid out with flowers on both sides. It leads down to a flower arch next to which on the right Haley, Alex, Sophie and Hazel stand and on the left Manny (Who recently apologized to me and has tried to turn over a new leaf) and two of Luke's other friends. The best sight of them all is my dashing husband to be under the arch looking to me with a goofy grin plastered on his face.

My dad walks me all the way to the end before kissing my head and handing me over to Luke. "You look amazing," he whispers into my ear. I blush and kiss his cheek. He winks at me and takes my hand in his. I get lost in his eyes as the pastor speaks, completely in love with the man in-front of me. I almost don't hear the priest asking Luke to say his vows and he does to because he hesitates to start, he gently squeezes me hand and smiles lightly at me before he inhales and starts.

"Where do I begin, I can't believe that one message I sent lead me here, marring the love of my life and the most beautiful girl in the world. Leah you are my everything and you are perfect, I wouldn't change a thing about you. I love you so much words just don't seem to capture it. You are my whole world and I'm so grateful that I am going to get to call you my wife. I can't wait what the future hold and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," he says staring into my eyes the whole time and in that moment It felt like we were the only two people in the whole world.

Luke wipes away a stray tear and I smile at him before I begin, "Luke Dunphy you are the love of my life. I am so happy that after today I will call you mine for the rest of my life. I love you so much that I just can't explain how I feel. You are my everything and I am so happy it's like that. You changed my whole life for the better and gave me a life I never thought I would have. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, to have kids with you and to go through every challenge and wonderful moment with you. You are the greatest guy I have ever met and you have a heart of gold I can only hope our little ones will inherit. I love you endlessly and can't wait to see what the future holds." I say a steady stream of tears rolling down my face.

"Well then Leah do you take Luke to be your husband?"
"I do," I say with a smile so wide it's hurting my face.
"Luke do you take Leah to be your wife?"
"Oh I definitely do," he says with a smirk.
"Well then I pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss your bride."
Luke pulls me into one of the best kisses of my life, my arms wrapped around his neck one of his around my waist and the other sneakily placed on my small bump. I am married to the love of my life and we are having a beautiful child of our own. life just seems like it couldn't get any better that this.
