We should have eloped, I thought to myself as I looked at the chaos in the room, there were boxes and dress bags everywhere, a tray of nibbles and a bottle of champagne and flowers.

Mom and Aunt Teddy were teary eyed in the corner, each with a glass in hand as they told anyone and everyone, they knew this would happen one day.  It was only eight weeks since the boys proposed, but it seemed our moms had been planning for a while so everything was ready to go.  Todays ceremony would bond me to both my twins and marry me to one of them, I didn't care which one, they would decide that between them.

Paris and Geneva sat either side of me as the make up and hair stylists flitted between us, adding final touches before we dressed.

God I was so nervous, ever since the engagement was announced it had seemed like it was full speed towards this day, was I ready, were they ready, what if...

Paris put her hand on mine "Relax, nothing will change, you've been living with them for three years already, I already, no we already, consider you our sister, the only difference will be your surname will match mine finally" she says and I smile at her.

"I know, it's just silly nerves" I whisper and she grins.

"Have some champagne" she lifts the bottle but I shake my head, if what is suspected was true then I would be off alcohol for a while. I bite my lip as Paris gives me a speculative look.

"Are you?" she whispers.

I shake my head "I don't know, maybe, it might just be stress" I tell her softly.

"How late are you?" she questions leaning in to me.

"Two weeks, but... my last period was very very light as well" I tell her worried.

She glances at her watch. "Do you want to know?" she asks and I hesitate before I nod.

She grabs her phone and heads to the bathroom coming back five minutes later with a small smile "Amalie is getting a test and will discreetly drop it in to us" she tells me.

I glance around to see if anyone else has noticed what we are doing but they all seem relaxed and happy as they get ready.

Ten minutes later Amalie texts Paris who slips out and returns with the test, shooing me to the bathroom to take it.  I follow the instructions, screwing up my nose at the process after washing my hands, I leave the test on the side hidden under a stack of towels as I don't want people to worry if i'm in there for too long.

Paris smiles at me and comes over to give me a hug "Do you want me to check for you?"" she questions and I nod nervously, telling her where I hid the test. 

"Lily, are you okay?" Geneva asks coming to my side.

'Yes" I murmur weakly, feeling the stress suddenly hit me and I feel faint, black spots crowding my vision as I lean against Geneva, who controls my fall onto the sofa.

"Lily!" Mom and Aunt Teddy exclaim rushing to my side.

"What is it sweetie, what happened?" Mom asked me and Geneva at the same time.

I sagged against the sofa, so much for being low key.  I saw Paris emerge from the bathroom and she grinned at me and nodded, grabbing a bottle of water and bringing it to me.

"Thank you" I whisper, still aware of all the eyes on me.

Paris raises her brow and I groan but nod slightly, and she claps her hands.

"Could we have everyone out for a minute please, except the moms" she directs and the room empties, except for the moms and Geneva, as Paris goes back into the bathroom, coming out with the test in her hand and passing it to me.

I gaze down at the little pink plus sign and smile, "I'm pregnant" I whisper but both moms hear it and squeal aloud making Paris, Geneva and myself jump in shock.

"What the hell Mom!" Geneva shouts at them, but they are happily dancing around each other like teenagers.

"Oh, i'm so pleased do the boys know?" Aunt Teddy grins and I shake my head.

"I've only just done the test, Paris got it for me, as I'd only just started to worry I was late" I tell them in a rush.

"Oh my god, how do I tell them?" I whine and everyone laughs.

"I've an idea for that" Geneva says smiling and grabbing some ribbon, the test and my bouquet.

"Now, let's get you dressed for your wedding" Mom said tearily and I nod, as they help me into the ivory satin gown, the hairdresser returning to fix the veil.

"Ta da" Geneva says passing my bouquet to me, two gold ribbon ends peaking out between the green and cream flowers. "Just get them to pull the ribbon out and they will get the message" she offers and I smile at her in thanks.

I look at the women surrounding me and feel emotional at all the love in the room, "I love you all" I tell them and laugh at their responses as both moms get out tissues.

Theres a knock on the door, bringing dad into the room and after more hugs and laughter, I watch as the moms go downstairs with my bridesmaids, leaving me and dad in the room.

"You look beautiful baby" Dad tells me emotionally.

"Thank you daddy" I reply hugging him.

"You ready for this?" he asks softly and I nod.

"God yes, I can't wait any longer" I tell him.

"Then let's get you to your grooms." he chuckles, placing my arm through his as he guides me downstairs to the Kingswood estates great hall which has been set up for our wedding.

We stop briefly for Paris and Geneva to fluff up the dress and veil before they walk the aisle and then its my turn.  My eyes lock on the two men waiting for me, my men, soon to be my husbands and I smile,  the fathers to our baby.

I grin at them as dad hands me over and the ceremony begins, laughing as I am prompted to reply with "I Do", and then we are pronounced men and wife.

Our guests cheer and clap as they kiss me and I stand in a daze between them as we are offered congratulations, before the photographer calls for us to come outside for photos.

I grin at my new sisters and nod, now is the perfect time to tell them, as the photographer is stopped by Paris who whispers a few words in his ear.

"Bride and grooms first" he calls and I smile heading over to him with Max and Hunter each side of me.

"I have something to tell you" I say to them as we face the photographer, and I lift the bouquet up higher, "Pull the gold ribbon" I tell then and they each take an end and pull, lifting the test out of the flowers and into their view.  

Max recognised it first "Baby?" he queries as Hunter lets out a whoop.

"A Baby!" he crows and lifts me up swinging me around before passing me to Max, I can see the photographer snapping away as they learn the news.

"I only found out earlier, I wasn't sure but Paris organised a test and now we know, you're going to be daddies" I tell them, tears in my eyes, as they close in around me.

I hear gasps from our fathers as the moms pass the news onto them and then it spreads to all the guests and once again we hear cheers and applause, until the photographer calls for more grouping to get the photos done.

The reception had been set up in the ballroom and as we wandered through our guests, I feel the love and support of our families and friends and know that whatever happens in our future we will face it together.

The End.
