Undercover lifeguard

Chapter 26

Natt zipped my wedding dress up the back and fastened the long draped bow at the base of my spine at the hem of the dress, the long white material with faint patterns on it dragged behind me on the floor, the front was plain with a net covering my bodice with diamonds, my straps were the netting continued up with the diamonds sewn into it, my hair curled and pinned to the side with fresh flowers holding them in place, I had a small silver chain which hung over my forehead and three more different length silver chains hung from either side of my straps down my back, I had smokey eyed makeup, and clear lip gloss.

I stood in front of the mirror, holding back the tears, "drinks before the car!!" Mum chimed as she handed out glasses of champagne" "I'm okay thanks" I held my hand up "Rebecca don't be crazy, have a drink it won't harm anything!" I laughed as I shuck my head "come on drink up!" I took a mouthful "OOH! I need to put my perfume on!" Mum ran out the door, Natt turned around to open the door for her,mi saw my opportunity to spit the drink back into the glass...
Natt came over to me "You ready? The car is here" she smiled as she held out my flowers, hundreds of stephanotis with pale blue Gerberas and the leaves falling like a waterfall with more flowers dotted amongst them, she looked happy enough for the both of us. I was wearing Mark's favourite perfume, and his favourite coloured flowers, and I just couldn't fight back the tears anymore so I fell onto my knees in front of the mirror, "oh my god Becca!" I held up my hands, to her "Please...please leave me alone..." "I think in a moment like this...you need to be with someone" I slid the gun from my thigh holder I didn't point it, just loaded it "Natt, let me talk to her" I saw Harry's reflection in the mirror, Natt gathered her bits, nodded once and went out the room, "thigh gun really?!" He smirked as he sat on the end of my bed "you can never be too safe huh" I wiped my eyes as I placed it back "you must be the only bride I know to wear a gun to her own wedding" I shrugged as I rolled a flower petal between my thumb and forefinger "come on, Carter is waiting for you" I looked up at my reflection in the mirror, luckily no red puffy eyes, just a little bit of smudged mascara "I don't know if I can...." I turned to him "why? You think your brother would have wanted to see you crying on the floor? No, he would have wanted to see you walk down that aisle to Carter and get married...." I bit my lip, slightly too hard as I drew blood, I ran my finger over it and sucked gently "come on" he held his hand out to me, I took it gratefully, "look at your lip" he took a tissue and dabbed it gently "it's fine" I batted his hand away and headed to the stairs.

As we reached the door I went to open it but Harry's large hand placed itself firmly above me "smile bec, you're getting married" "I know..." "I mean yeah it's to Carter but...show a little smile" he caused me to giggle "there we go, wasn't that bad was it?" I shrugged "guess not" he paused "when you going to tell him?" I spun around and looked at him, his face not far from mine "tell him what?" I swallowed "that you're pregnant" I looked up at him "I...I don't even know if I am yet Harry, I don't want to get his hopes up" he nodded "I understand but, I'd maybe mention it" "I will when the times right" he stepped away and opened the door.

I walked out, mum had gotten some of the neighbours to come and watch, "oh you look beautiful!" The elder ones cooed, a small group of little girls came up to me "Becca!! Becca!! Here!!" They all handed me a small red rose, I took it from them and smiled as I found a perfect space in my bouquet for them "see you later girls" I kissed their cheeks and made my way to the car. "You looks so beautiful Becca" my mum smiled at me "but shame about your lip" she began to get her concealer out "mums stop" I repeated myself a few times "MUM STOP!!" "I was just trying to help!" "Yes I know...I'm sorry" she tutted as she put it away "you're so moody lately! Are you on your period? If not you're pregnant, I was moody like you when I was pregnant" her words were becoming distant as I looked out the window focusing on the fields full of flowers, until we came to a stop at the traffic lights, a car pulled up next to us, the wife sat in the passenger seat her kids in the back, she turned around to her kids who started to points, a young baby lifted her head up and grabbed at the window, I put my hand to our window as the lights changed green. "So come on! Which is it!? Period, pregnant? Lack of sex?" "Mother! Shut....up!" I looked at her as the car stopped outside the Royall Hall, "just shut up!" I breathed out "my god...you're pregnant!" "I don't know if I am so can we please drop this I have a wedding to go to and I'm stressed up to here!" Mum and Natt sat there looking at em wide eyed, I got out the car and pulled the veil over my head.

Stood there behind the big wooden doors alone, my eyes were shimmered in the light where tears threatened to fall, with a clear lip gloss top up, all I had to do was open those doors and walk down the aisle to Carter, just standing there I couldn't bring myself to open the door, I could hear soft music playing in the background, and I knew if I didn't walk through those doors soon, they'd open and I'd find my mother and her short tongue.

I took a breath as I placed a hand on the door, it was no use I couldn't open it, something just didn't feel right, talk about the happiest moment of a woman's life..."pretty sure brides aren't supposed to cry on their wedding day" I looked up slowly from my flowers and looked around "mark?" I choked on my own words "I think you have a very anxious groom waiting for you out there.." "What are you doing here?! You're dead!" I punched his arm "ouch! Real enough for you?" "What happened?" "We have enough time to talk about that later...I think you need to get out there before mother comes out" I nodded as I sorted my veil out "come on" he held out his arm and I took it proudly.

The doors opened and the room filled with gasps "so...pregnant huh?" He said through his smile, I turned my head and frowned at him "how do you know" "you do a great gorming out face too" "mark how do you know?!" He laughed as he squeezed my arm "to say your a special agent, you don't act smart" "you were the car driver!" "Oh by Jove i think she got it!" We arrived at the front Carter's eyes popped out wide "come here give me a hug!" He pulled me in tightly, and I never wanted to let go...
