Lake View Cottage Wedding Pt 2

The next morning I woke up with a bad migraine. I think I drank way too much champagne. All that celebrating can really do wonders on a person. When I walked downstairs and into the kitchen I saw my brother Oliver eating his favorite oatmeal and my sister Dallas was feeding my niece Emma eggs.

Emma is a 4 year old wild child. She looks so much like our late sister Emma. That's why Dallas named her Emma. We believe our sister has been reborn and became my crazy little niece.

"Knock, knock," Eric said covering his eyes with his right hand. "Sweetheart why are you covering your eyes?" I asked him laughing. "Are you decent?" He asked. "Why  don't you look and see for yourself," I said to him.

"I don't think so," 

"Why?" 

"Is Oliver here?"

"Yes I am," Oliver said. 

"Yeah I don't want to get into trouble," Eric said. 

"It's okay Eric she is decent," Oliver said. 

"Nice try but I know it's a trap. I think I will sit outside in the garden. See you later," Eric said waving with his left hand. 

"Get in here," I said to him giggling. 

"What's this that you dropped?" 

"Oh my step mom gave it to me to give it to you to look over," Eric said. "Oh boy present," Emma said getting feisty. 

"Emma would you like to open it?" Eric asked her. "Me want present," Emma said trying to reach it from her high chair. "Honey she tears everything up. I'm not sure what this is but I'm sure it might be something she might tear up," I said to Eric.

"Emma, Uncle Eric has got you your very own present to open," Eric said. 

He's so great with my nieces, nephews, and younger cousins. "Just one sec," He said walking out the back patio to pick up of what looked like a birthday present. He turned around and asked  me to come outside for a minute. "Something the matter?" I asked him. "Umm it's probably too late to ask but," He started to say but I interrupted him. 

"Honey," 

"Yes dear," 

"Her birthday is in two weeks. Is that what you were going to ask me?" I asked him. 

"Well...." He tried to say. 

"Yes," I love it when he closes his eyes like if he thinks he's in trouble. Although I wanted to know why exactly he was doing that. 

"Sweetheart is there something I need to know?" I asked him. "It's just I always give my nephews presents when it's close to their birthday. Or when I feel guilty that I didn't give them anything that is when i feel like it," He finished talking. 

"Babe you can't do that with everyone," 

"But I want to," 

"Sweetheart is that what's its going to be like with our kids?" 

"Sweetheart I love to spoil kids. I spoil you don't I?" He said.

"Really is that why you gave me this ring because you just wanted to spoil me," 

"Izzy that's not true and you know it," 

"Whatever Eric, well, you better not disappoint Emma. So go ahead and give it to her," 

"Listen once I give it to her it will be worth it," 

"WORTH IT! Eric just leave," 

"But uh Emma," 

"I'll give it to her," I said as I walked forward to the table. I picked it up and went inside. 

"Emma look at what Uncle Eric brought you," I said to her. I put the present on the counter. I then went over to Emma to help her out of her high chair. Dallas went over to the back door to pear around the corner. 

"Where's Eric going?" Dallas asked. "Okay why don't you go to your playroom and open it," I told Emma. She ran off into the other room that is to her play room to open the present. 

"Okay she's gone. I just didn't want her to hear this considering she loves her Uncle Eric, but I'm calling off the wedding," I said to my sister. "What?" She asked confused.
