Chapter 22

**time skip- their 1 year anniversary, also the 2nd wedding. Olivia is just over 7 months (March 23rd,2020 is her birthday)**

Veronica ran around the house like a mad woman trying to get her daughter ready to leave the house. It was her wedding day and she needed to be at the hotel in 5 minutes, but Olivia Rae was not cooperating. Robert was already with the guys at another hotel getting ready.

"Livi stop touching everything! You need to get dressed baby." Olivia crawled around and was playing with everything. Veronica finally picked her up and set her in her doorway swing. "Now you can't touch anything. Mommy is going to get your sweats and your little dress and I'll be right back." She ran into Olivia's room and grabbed an outfit for her to wear on the way to the ceremony and then she grabbed her wedding outfit. The little dress was already in a tiny garment bag so she brought it into her room and gently laid it in the bag with her wedding dress and walked back to Olivia, who was staring at her.

"Ok baby girl, are you ready to get dressed?" The 7 month old laughed as her mom picked her up and brought her in to the nursery. Veronica put her pre wedding outfit on her and then grabbed a light jacket. Veronica got her into her carseat and set the carseat by the back door. Then she ran and got their dresses and walked back to her daughter. She picked up the carseat and brought everything out to the car. After everything was packed away, she ran back into the house to get her purse and phone and keys. She locked the door behind her and then got in the car.

It didn't take her long to her hotel. She got her daughter out of the car and then raced up to the room she was getting ready in.

"I'm sorry! Little miss thing wouldn't let me get ready." Deb smiled at her granddaughter and grabbed her from Veronica.

"You are just like your dad."

"So she'll never grow out of this then?" Veronica said with a laugh. "I have to go get my dress out of the car."

"Don't worry about it honey. I'll get it." Melinda said. "You need to get ready."

"Ok." She ran into the bathroom and slipped on her special underwear and her robe. Both hers and Roberts families, and her bridesmaids were getting their hair done. Addie was her maid of honor and Lucy,Amelia, Lauren and Jamie were her bridesmaids. Rob had Jeff,Jon,Joey, Nick, and Joe as his groomsmen. Jon was his best man. She walked out of the bathroom and sat down in her chair to start getting her hair and makeup done. Halfway through, Olivia started crying really hard.

"I'll get her mom. Thank you for keeping her occupied. I think she's hungry."

"Ok love." Veronica apologized to her hairdresser and got up. She grabbed the baby from Deb.

"Come on princess. Let's go eat." Veronica sat on the edge of the bed, facing away from everyone and fed her daughter. 20 minutes later, she was all done so she got back in the chair and finished getting her hair done. Her makeup was next. That didn't take as long as her hair so she was done pretty quick.

After everyone was done getting hair and makeup, she waited for the photographer to be done taking pictures of the dress hanging up by the window. When she was done with the pictures, Melinda took the dress off of the hanger and helped Veronica into it. When she was dressed, she faced her family. Everyone in the room looked at her. Deb and Melinda smiled and cried.

"You look so beautiful Veronica." Deb said.

"Agreed. Robert is going to loose his mind."

"You think?"

"I do." Veronica blew out a breath.

"Are we ready to do this?"

"Are you ready?"
