Lauren pov 04/22/2014

" Hello father I will walk you through the side of the fence. Camila doesn't know that you are here it a surprise." Nodding following me through the side gate we walked past the line on chairs.

" Ok Lauren so what are you thinking?" Looking at him this was all a first for me. " I see that you maybe unsure so why don't we have you guys follow after me?"

Knowing Camila I knew that she would want to speak from the heart. " I think that we will go with our own vows." Smiling he touched my arm and nodded. " Ok so everyone should be taking their seat and we will be ready."

Going to walk back to the gate " Hey make sure sister Clara put a side some picadillo." Laughing

" For you anything Father Pete, thank you for such short notice. I wasn't sure when our moms called if you would have been able to make it. I know that it means a great deal to Camila that you are her with us." Smiling he touched my arm, giving a small smile walking back to the gate.

Taking one last look at the yard and smiling. I needed this day to be perfect. It was going to be a while before I was going to have another one. " Ok Mami so did everyone go outside and start sitting in the chairs?"

Nodding " Yes baby your bother and sister are setting up with the other ladies and Camila is upstairs with her parents they said they need her help with her little sister."

Laughing " She still has no idea?"

Shaking her head " No I think she is so caught up with other things that she isn't even thinking about it. But your Papi said that its perfect, what do you think?"

Playing with my ponytail, " Mami it really is and thank you guys seriously for everything." Pulling me to her laying my head on her chest.

" Awe you have always been the one that wanted to take care of your family, and you have no idea how grateful and proud I am to call you my daughter." Smiling and looking down at the ground. " You do know that you are perfect right?" Shaking my head going to walk away. She grabbed my hand " Your son is going to be so proud of you."

My cheeks got hot and I had one of the biggest smiles on my face, " you think that he is a boy too?" Nodding she smiled and touched my cheek.

" Of course he is a boy, So you have any idea what you want to name him? I mean we couldn't name him Lauren it would be a bit odd a boy who is Cuban being called Lauren right?"

Nodding " I guess so I was thinking more of my Initials, so something like Luca or Logan or Landon I really like Landon Michael Jauregui or Landon Mason Jauregui. What do you think mami?"

" While LMJ I think that he will be a very proud boy to carry your name. Or at lets your initial's of it. Does she even know yet?" Frowning I was confused, " Laure your really going to act so dense." Shaking her head and smiling " Does Camila Know what he is yet?" Laughing so hard I had to hold my stomach.

" No she still hasn't figured it out nor have the doctors told her, but I mean she really does have pregnancy brain you know." Smacking my arm she smiled " what was that for? I mean she does." Pushing me we went back in the house to make sure their was no stragglers.

Taking a quick sweep of the down stairs area their was no one. Going to the steps I could hear Camila's mom " Yes Camila I will be back come on Sof we have to go check on the girls."

" Bye Karla" Sofia said " click" the door closed and I seen Sinu. I was in all aw a long light pink dress, hair pulled back in a clip with her glasses sitting on her nose. Coming down the stairs she stopped in front of me. Looking down at Sof and smiled. " hi baby are you ready to throw those pink rose petals?" Nodding

"Yes I so excited, I am going to find my Aunt to make sure they have my basket." Laughing she let go of her mothers hand and ran down the stairs and out the back door.

" So Baby are you ready?"

Turning around on the steps " I don't think I have been more ready for anything in my whole entire life." Touching my shoulder I turned and looked at her. " You know that I am more sure that I have loved her since the day that I laid eyes on her." I felt that tears well up in my eyes," she is the one thing that I am sure of, that and our son."

She lifted her eyebrow " you seem so sure that its a boy." Putting her hand on my shoulder, " I am so glad that it is you that loves her, because I don't think that anyone else could love her the way that you do. I still can't believe that you are the eight year old that I meet almost ten years ago. Who would have know that you would have grown up to be such a beautiful women and about to be wife." Kissing my cheek she turned and I followed her down the stairs.

" You really do love me? Don't you!" rolling her eyes she smiled and nodded and I seen the tears at the corner of her eyes. " Don't cry, I love you too and I want to thank you for making my soon to be wife and the mother of my children. Their couldn't have been anyone that would have made a better her then you."

Kissing her cheek I walked out of the back door and under the tent. ' wow this is the moment that I will make the women that I loved since I was thought to be a little boy, the peanut to my jelly, the bread to my butter, the rice to my platanos, the ice to my tea, shit the straw to my berry, the b to my ananas, and more then anything in this world the moon to my sun. She has been the sure thing and the constant in my life and I love her more then life its self.'

I walked out of the door that was leading out to the rest of the yard and I seen the whole family was sitting. " Mi Familia, hello are yall ready to get this show on the road?" They all turned and started to clap. " Well I'm glad to be here, lets hope she doesn't run away, we don't want to have to take it back to the cave days I might have to hit her over the head with a stick and drag her down the aisle." They all laughed " I am kidding I would run after her."

Walking up to the pastor " I am ready. what about you?" He looked at me and smiled

" I have been waiting for this for my whole life." With those who finally words I turned to the end of the aisle, and with one finally glance over to my family I smiled.

' I am so proud of you baby, your going to be an amazing wife,' my mom mouthed. Wiping my eyes I couldn't help to smile. I waited at the wedding arch.
