Jensen

"Jensen Rose Styles has quite the ring to it doesn't it?" I looked over at Harry, watching his smile grow before he kissed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"I think it fits you well." I leaned over the console to kiss his cheek. I pulled away, laughing at the pink lipstick stain I'd left on his cheek.

"I love you and I'm so so so happy." He ran his thumb along the top of my hand, squeezing it as we drove up to the bar.

"I love you too, baby. So much. You make me the happiest man alive." I couldn't help the grin playing at my lips. We pulled into the full parking lot, my heart swelled with the fact that all of our loved ones were in that building, waiting to greet us as husband and wife.

Harry put the car in park, leaning over to kiss me before jumping out and opening my door. He held his hand out for me and I took it, holding my dress up in the back. The moment I set foot on the ground, Harry's lips were back on mine, his hands on the sides of my face.

"Harry..." I stated, pulling away. His green orbs met mine as he laid his forehead against mine with a hum, "We've got a reception to get to." He sighed, giving me a lazy smile.

"We can't just skip it and go home? You look so amazing in that dress but I'd love it even more on our bedroom floor." I hit his shoulder playfully as he peppered kisses along my neck, trying his best to convince me to go home. I pushed him off, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the door.

"We're gunna go celebrate with our friends and family and then, if you behave, you will most definitely see this dress on our bedroom floor. Maybe even the kitchen if you're lucky." I winked at him, watching his eyebrows raise at my cheeky comment before we walked to the door. I knocked in order to signal our arrival and I squeezed Harry's hand as they announced our names.

"Without further ado, I'd like to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Styles!" The door opened, both of us walking through it with big smiles. We waved at everyone as they stood up clapping and cheering. Harry stopped us in the middle of the dance floor, giving me a twirl before we made our way over to each table, starting with our parents.

Anne was the first to run to us as we got to the table. Her eyes were filled with tears as she hugged us both, kissing Harry's cheek.

"I love you both so much." We told her we loved her too as she pulled away, both Gemma and Reese attacking us next.

"My baby brother is married and before me." She tutted as she ruffled his hair, earning a groan from Harry, "I'd say I was upset about it but you two are perfect for each other." She winked at me as I smiled at her.

"And my big sister is married to a freaking rock star and has a baby with him! I would have never guessed it," Reese smirked at me, "I love you both." They both hugged us once more before it was time for my dad to cut in.

"Aw honey, you look so beautiful. I love you so much," He hugged me tight and I felt a tear hit my shoulder as he sniffled before turning to Harry, shaking his hand, "I know I'm supposed to pretend I don't like you but I kind of do. I'm glad my daughter picked you." He hugged Harry before telling me he'd meet me on the dance floor later.

We greeted the boys, each one of them taking a turn in ruffing up Harry's hair. I laughed at each interaction, hugging each of the boys. I spotted my aunt holding Piper over by the games with the bright lights. She caught my eye, winking at me and mouthing that she loved me. I mouthed the words back to her before we were called to the dance floor.

Harry and I danced our first dance while everyone watched. He twirled and dipped me many times in an effort to cover up his awful dancing. The next song, my dad cut in and Harry went to go find his mom.

"Hey kiddo." I smiled as we started dancing. I placed my head on his chest as he spoke in my ear, "I'm so proud of you. You're an amazing sister, daughter, mother, and you're going to be the best wife anyone could ask for. I know that you miss your mom, I do too but I feel her here somehow." I nodded, tears staining his suit.

"I love you, Dad." I sniffled, earning a chuckle out of him as he told me he loved me too before kissing my temple.

As the song came to an end, Harry's voice came over the speakers. I turned to find him sitting on one of the barstools, guitar in his hands as a spotlight fell over him.

"If I could get everyone's attention, I want to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life waking up to your gorgeous face every morning. Even if your hair does sometimes look like a rats nest and you do have pretty bad morning breath." My mouth fell open as I flipped him off, earning a chuckle from the crowd, "I love you, J. This ones for you."

"Sweet creature, had another talk about where it's going wrong but we're still young. We don't know where we're going but we know where we belong." My vision was blurred as I was crying for what seemed like the millionth time today. My dad gave me a side hug before leaving me to head to the stage. I stood alone as everyone danced around me. My eyes were focused on the man who changed my life for the better. The man who I loved so much it hurt.

Reese came up behind me, handing me Piper who was squealing as she kissed me multiple times, making me laugh. Then she said her second word, the word I'd been waiting so long to hear.

"Mama." She said as she laid her head on my chest. My eyes went wide as I held her up in the air, making her giggle again with each 'That's right baby, I'm your mama!"

Harry smiled at us both as he finished the song. Everyone clapped as he did a dramatic bow and jumped down to meet Piper and I. She held her arms out, calling for him as he took her, spinning her around and making her laugh before pulling me to them with his other hand. The three of us danced together, Piper laying her head on Harry's shoulder. I kissed them both, my heart so full in this moment I thought it might just burst.

This was a moment I would never forget. My life was complete. All my friends and family were here, celebrating love and life. I watched my sister, dancing with Niall, the biggest smile on her face as he dipped her. I looked over to my dad who was talking with James, both of them laughing. Anne was dancing with Louis and Gemma with Liam. I knew my mom wasn't here physically, but I felt her here. For once in my life, I wasn't scared of what the future held because I knew that Harry's love was endless. If there was a moment I could capture in my mind forever, it'd be this one.
