Invitation Only [Completed]

Chapter 18 - Invitation Only • Part 3

7:52pm
After the speech, we all went outside to take the photos, there were a few of Johnny and I, some with us, the bridesmaids and the best man, and of course one with everyone.
As the main wedding was sadly over, it was time to fucking party. More and more guests started to arrive.

As everyone gathered in the function room, Johnny got up on the stage and coughed to get everyones attention.
"Okay, so as most of you are here, i may as well say it now. Thank you so much for everyone who's turned up, and thank you to my gorgeous  wife Harper, you've made this a day to remember."

Johnny jumps down off the stage and the guests applauded him. Coming straight over to me, he pulls me into an embrace and kisses me once again - can i just say, i still can't believe i'm kissing MY HUSBAND!
The guests start to clear away from the dance-floor,
*Stand By You* by Rachel Platten comes on, a slow, acoustic version. As Johnny and I walk onto the dance floor hand in hand and we resume our hug. My hands round his neck and his arms round my waist. He holds me tight as we make our way round the dance floor.

As i look out, i see my mum and the girls stood together as they watch in awe. My mum looks so proud, and the girls just look the happiest ive ever seen them. I bring my head back and watch Johnny do the same with the boys. Looking at the man i love, look so happy, along with my friends and family. Well, ive gotta say, this is the most surreal moment of the night. I'm fucking exstatic. I turn Johnny head to mine and kiss him, he mouthes to me 'I love you', and i mouth back 'I love you more' as i kiss him once again.

I know Johnny hates dancing, but i could tell he was secretly enjoying this one...

As the song comes to an end, more and more join on the dance floor, dancing along with us. The song suddenly switches to *Heroes* by David Bowie. Johnny's favourite. More and more songs go by as me and my Johnny continue to dance, chat and laugh.

11:21pm
Shit-faced. Paralytic. Incoherently wankered. Not us (i had not a so much as a drop), but every other fucker in this place. Me and Johnny thought it would be the perfect time to go upstairs and have some time for just us two.

As we sneak out of the function room, walking past multiple glasses of wine and beer, we make our way to the stairs. I stop just before to take my heels off, and Johnny turns round,

"What are you doing?"

"Do you think i'm walking up the stairs in these, i feel like my feet are about to fall off!"

"Nope, i don't expect you to do that at all..."

Just as he says that, he whisks me up off my feet and carries me bridal style. Giggling and chatting the whole way, i play with his hair and he squeezes my thighs and waist.

As the door swings open, we both collapse on the bed, looking up to the netting above us, Johnny turns to me.

"Should i order us a bottle of champagne?" He asks.

"I don't really fancy anything tonight, why don't you order some chocolate dipped strawberries huh? Romantic." I replied.

"Yeah okay, why don't you want champagne though? It's our wedding night. I thought we could sit on the balcony on the sun lounger?"

"Well, i umm, I guess it'll make me tired... I don't want to have memories of me falling asleep early on our wedding night hun, you-know?", i said sympathetically.

"Okay babe, i'll order you some strawberries... Ill order myself a glass of red."

"Okay husband... haha i love saying that!" I said whilst sitting up on the bed and leaning over to kiss him.

The strawberries arrive, and we walk out onto the balcony. We look at the fields surrounding the castle, and chat about how gorgeous this place is, and how much we've fallen in love with France.

Then Johnny asks, "Do you think we'll ever live in France one day babe?".

I looked at him and replied, "God i hope so, it's perfect for us. I love how calm and peaceful it is here, i can't head anything for miles around."

"Me too Harp, me too..."

1:05am
The plate of strawberries had been devoured, Johnny had drank the wine. We got in bed, and Johnny turned me over so my back was facing him. I expected he wanted sex, but i soon felt a warm chest hit my back, and at the same time a strong, heavy arm wrapped around my waist as he kissed my neck. I turned my head and kissed him passionately, as he broke away from the kiss, he whispered,

"I love you Harp"

"I love you too babe"

"More than you know..." he whispered.

9:57am
I wake up to the smell of breakfast. I turned my head and yawned, to find Johnny getting back in bed with a tray, full of croissants and two cups of orange juice.
"Morning babe, what's this? Its very romantic" I said.

"Gotta treat the wife now, i got us breakfast so eat up... oh and i've got some news aswell..."

As i took a bit of my croissant, i looked at him nervously, "what?".

"Well, erm... you know last night we were talking about living in France? Well, i was speaking to the owner yesterday morning before the ceremony. And well, umm, you-know, you said you'd like to live here. So i guess, well i.. umm... I guess I bought the castle for us to live in. I thought it would be nice, you-know, its where we got mar-"

A feeling of nausea came over me, "i'm gonna be sick", i say to Johnny before making a run for the bathroom.

Just as i make the toilet, Johnny comes running in behind me, looking scared and panicked.

"Harper what's wrong? Are you okay? Is it the castle? Fuck i knew i should of asked you properly!", Johnny asks whilst holding my hair and stroking my back.

"No no no. The castle's perfect. It is definitely not the castle...", I cry as I slump against the radiator.

"Well what is it baby? Are you sick? Fucking hell you're killing me Harper!", Johnny whispers as he crouches next to me.

"I... I'm..."

"What Harper, what is i-"

"I'm pregnant... Johnny i'm pregnant!"

...........

"What?"

"I'm pregnant..."

Johnny sits next to me, he opens his arms, as i fall into his chest sobbing. Cocooning me with his tattooed arms, he asks "How long have you known babe?"

"I found out the day before our wedding. I'm so sorry i didn't tell you, i knew i had too but i was so fucking scared you'd leave or you'd be angry. God, i'm so sorry i didn't tell you." I cried.

"Harper, why on earth would i leave or be mad? You heard Marilyn's speech yesterday, we complete each other. Babe, i'm over the fucking moon we're having a baby. We're starting a family together, that's the next step, you-know. We take each day as it comes, every breath is a celebration, we gotta grasp this with both fucking hands!"

"So you're a happy Johnny?" I ask.

"Im a happy Johnny, Harp. A very happy Johnny."

"Me too hun, ahhhh, we're having a baby!"
