TWENTY THREE

"It's wedding day!" Kie shouted walking into the house, I was sitting on the couch, just waking up from the night before, Rafe was very upset when he woke up and found me out here. He's already gone to Topper's house to get ready, leaving me and the girls here to be by ourselves. "Don't tell Rafe but I'm more excited to find out the gender." I joked, Kie rolled her eyes, setting her makeup down on the table. "Sarah should be here in a few minutes." I spoke, stretching my arms out as I stood up. "I'm going to take a shower, then we'll get started?" I checked with Kie, she nodded, sorting through her small but nice collection. "Sounds like a plan." She muttered, barely paying any attention to me. Well, fine.

I walked out of the bathroom, wrapped up in a towel, one on my head too. I stuck my head out the door, Sarah saw me and waved, Kie was doing her makeup, then Sarah would do my hair while Kie did her own makeup. It's a whole process, meanwhile the guys are probably just playing video games until the last second. "You want to leave it down, or put some of it up?" Sarah asked as I sat at the table, her blow dryer in her hand, "half up, I don't want it falling in my face." I answered, taking a bite of a muffin, I know, breakfast of champions, but this is all I've been able to keep down lately and I don't want to risk puking at my wedding. I was exactly thirteen weeks today, I had a little bump that my friends thankfully haven't noticed, and they definitely won't in this dress, unless I draw attention to it. The morning sickness, in my case all day sickness, was starting to subside, thank goodness. "You excited?" Sarah questioned, wrapping big sections of my hair around the curling iron, we were going for a wavy look, "yes, and terrified." I answered truthfully.

"It's gonna be a great day, I promise." She assured me, pulling sections of hair away from my face, I wasn't entirely sure what she was doing but I'm sure it will be beautiful. "Are you ready?" Kie questioned, holding up her eyeshadow pallet, I closed my eyes giving her the go ahead, my knees bouncing nervously, I wonder how Rafe's doing? "Sarah, have you talked to your brother?" I questioned, carefully not wanting to mess Kie up, "yeah just a little bit ago, he's so excited." She responded, walking up behind me, I sighed, relieved. "I need your foundation." Kie muttered, rushing off to grab it from my bathroom, I looked at my dress hanging from the door, "I can't believe this is happening." I whispered to Sarah, she looked up from her phone, "I know, Kie's mom just texted, the cake is there." She got all excited, I honestly don't know how they've kept it a secret for so long. I surely couldn't, but then again, I haven't told anyone else I'm pregnant and that's an even bigger deal. Kie rushed out of the bathroom, "we're behind schedule!" She sat in front of me, I laughed at her antics. "It's fine." I assured her, feeling a sense of calm about things all of a sudden.

JJ stood in the parking lot of the beach, anxiously awaiting my arrival, I asked him to walk me down the 'aisle' although there was no real aisle, the thought is what counts. "Oh my god." He breathed out as I climbed out of Sarah's car, Kie followed behind me, fixing the skirt of my dress. "You look beautiful." He added walking over to me, his eyes were watering which just made me want to cry, I lightly slapped his arm, "Don't cry, then I'll cry." I fanned at my face, trying to keep the tears at bay. "Right, sorry." He mumbled, looking up at the sky for a moment, "okay, I'm ready." He looked back over at me, Kie and Sarah gave me a once over, "you're good." Sarah smiled, her and Kie rushing to join everyone else on the beach, I was positioned in such a way that Rafe couldn't see me yet. I was so anxious, "ready." I whispered, latching my arm with JJ's.

We started walking towards the beach, as soon as Rafe saw me, I could tell he got emotional, my eyes watered up, he wasn't in anything to fancy, dress pants and a button up, perfect for this beach setting. But the way he looked at me right now, just made him the most attractive thing in the world. It felt like an eternity until I reached him. We had just hired a cheap officiant we found online, of course making sure they were legit first. They went through the normal speeches, until finally it was time for our vows. Rafe went first,
