Part Two - Chapter Twenty-Six: The Night Before

“I can’t believe you’re getting married tomorrow,” Olivia whispered following Mia into the hotel room where they would be staying before the wedding; the last couple of days had flown by and now the big day was only hours away.

Mia nodded her head with a smile, she couldn’t wait to marry Iker and she was sure that everything would go perfectly; she had spent months planning for tomorrow.

Abigail babbled happily, she was staying with her mother at the hotel since Iker was staying at home; he wanted Mia to have a wonderful night before their wedding and had paid for everything.

Things had been pretty quiet since Olivia had revealed that she was going to have a baby, she had been thrilled with how excited Fatani was with the idea.

Fatani had flown out a couple of days ago, he wanted to be with his girlfriend and he was happy that Olivia hadn’t turned him away; they weren’t ready to tell everyone yet.

Mia brushed her fingers through her hair, a small smile graced her lips at the sight of flowers that Iker had set up for her; she was going to miss him while she was here.

“How are things between you and Fatani?” Mia asked moving to set Abigail down, the little girl squealed excitedly at the feel of the carpet on her feet.

Mia smiled watching her daughter, she couldn’t believe that it had been eighteen months since she had met Iker; she couldn’t imagine her life without him now when everything seemed so perfect.

“Things are good, he’s planning for bump,” Olivia said excitedly, she couldn’t believe that her boyfriend was happy about their pregnancy; it had been a surprise but she couldn’t wait to have her own baby later that year after spending so much time with Abigail.

Mia looked at her sister and smiled, she was happy for Olivia and she knew that the blonde would make a wonderful mother; she was just going to need a little help when the time came.

“How does it feel in less than twenty-four hours you will be Mrs Amelia Poppy Casillas Trevanion?” Catherine asked walking into the room, she knew that this was a big night for Mia and she couldn’t believe that her best friend was going to get married.

Olivia grinned, she loved the sound of Mia’s new name and it was going to take some getting used to; it was already on her new passport and everything was set for her to marry Iker.

“It feels so unreal,” Mia whispered excitedly moving to sit on the bed, she couldn’t believe that she was going to be marrying Iker; it felt like a dream and even though it did hurt a little that most of her family weren’t going to be there it was for the best.

Mia was never going to be able to forgive Rosie for what she had done, she was going to move on with her life and she couldn’t wait to find out what the future held.

“I think we should put little Abby to bed, then open this expensive bottle of champagne,” Catherine stated knowing that they only had one more night to celebrate, she was excited and she knew that Unai was making sure that Iker enjoyed his last night of freedom.

It had been a surprise when Catherine and Unai had shown up together at the rehearsal dinner, it was clear that after Abigail’s christening they had gotten very close.

“I think that is an excellent idea,” Olivia agreed knowing that she couldn’t have any, she didn’t mind since she was going to have a baby of her own soon.

Mia laughed softly moving to pick up Abigail, she should have known that her friend had something like this planned; she held her daughter hoping that she wouldn’t be hung-over for her wedding.

“Nervous?” Unai asked smiling at his older brother as he handed him a beer, he couldn’t believe that tomorrow was his brother’s wedding; Iker was so happy and he deserved the best in everything that he did.

Iker shook his head, he wasn’t nervous at all and he had waited long enough for his wedding day; he was looking forward to see Mia in her wedding dress.

“Not at all,” Iker replied happily, he knew that he wanted to marry Mia and he had been sure since he had asked Mia to marry him; she was the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Unai laughed and nodded his head, he had never seen his brother so happy in his life; he had no idea what would have happened if Iker would have married Sara.

“I’m more nervous about spending the night away from them,” Iker murmured annoyed, he wanted nothing more than to spend the night with his fiancée and daughter but it wasn’t going to happen.

Carmen smiled knowing that Mia had been good for her son, she had never seen Iker so happy; she had no idea what would have happened if he had stayed with Sara.

“It’ll be fine,” Carmen said proudly, she couldn’t wait to see her son get married and she was happy with his choice of bride; she had come to love Mia like a daughter and she adored her granddaughter.

Iker nodded his head, he hadn’t heard from Mia and he knew that Catherine was going to keep her busy so that she couldn’t miss him.

“Come on Iker let’s celebrate your last night of freedom,” Sergio teased wrapping an arm around Iker, he was so happy for his friend and he knew that tomorrow was going to be an amazing day.

Iker forced a smile, he couldn’t wait for the next morning when he married Mia; he had no idea what he was ever going to do without her.

Brushing some hair from her face, Rosie took a deep breath as she walked through the airport along with the rest of her family; it had been short notice and she knew that there was every chance that they would be turned away.

Danny didn’t even look back at his eldest daughter, he hadn’t been able to look at her since she had revealed all that she had done; he hated that Mia had been right and they had all been so close to missing her marry Iker.

“Do you think she’ll want us there?” Alice asked looking at her husband, they hadn’t actually been invited to Mia’s wedding and she doubted that the brunette would want to see any of them after how they had all behaved.

Danny stared at his wife, he didn’t want to think about that and he knew that Mia would have every right to turn them away; they had been terrible to her since Abigail had been born.

“Of course she’ll want us there… we’re her family,” Dup Plessis replied as if it was obvious, he doubted that Mia would be cruel enough to turn them away; she had always been so forgiving in the past.

Caroline shook her head, she knew that her own husband had a point but she feared that things had gone too far this time; she was sure that Mia wouldn’t be happy to see them after the mess that Rosie had made.

Rosie walked behind them silently, she knew that they didn’t want her with them but she felt like she had to make things right; she had been the reason that Mia had stopped speaking to everyone.

Mia was her sister and Rosie had betrayed her in the worst possible way, she wouldn’t blame her younger sister if she never forgave her.

Iker made Mia happy and that was what mattered even if in the past Rosie hadn’t seen it; she just hoped that there was some way that she could make amends for what she had done.
