April. 

As  i turned the water off, I sat upon the toilet sit and cried into my hands. More than likely my hormones playing a part but its real emotion. I just dont understand the hate towards myself. "April, baby?" I heard as the door was pushed open slightly. 

I look up to see Leyton walking towards me and bending down to my level. "You heard her didnt you?" he sighed wiping my face. i nodded. "Yeah ... Leyton ... I don't understand what i have ever done for a woman to hate me so .. much" I say between breaths, "She doesn't hate you, April. Mother has never liked anyone that wasn't Avery, She will never come between us. I have told her she is not welcome into our family until She grows up"

"You shouldn't have to choose between me and your family, Leyton" - "You, you all are my family now ... you three. She'll come around eventually. I love you, always, and i cannot wait to finally call you, Mrs Stevens" he pressed a light kiss upon my lips. 

"and i love you. We can't wait to have your last name .." i smile through the tears. "so, shall we have this bath?"

We was in bed by 9pm, i was wiped out. and we had an early start for the wedding tomorrow. If i know Maggie as well as i know i do. She'll be here first thing freaking out over the preparations and everything else. 

Laying together, feeling soft movement up and down my back and across my hair it sent me to sleep almost right away, this is where i know im safe and where i was meant to be.

"Maggie!! cam down, it will all be fine, it will be a perfect day and you are about to become a wife!!" My doorbell was ringing at 8am this morning, it was Maggie as i knew it would be. her dress in tow along with her hair and make up artist. 

"April, i have this fear no one will be there!! nothing will be great, and the whole thing will be a disaster" she paced around the kitchen before sitting up the breakfast bar. "Mags, please, youll be fine the day will be perfect. Just chill, eat and let them get you ready!" 

My dress had arrived, it fit perfectly, Leyton was meeting us there he had an emergency at work. My stomach was telling me something bad was gonna happen today ... either that or the twins were giving me grief. 


But i definitely had a gut feeling about something.
