Chapter 10 - Wedding Day

August 2, 2013
Boston, Ma.

The sun was shining. It was warm. Everything had arrived on time.

So why was I panicking?

Hair and makeup was done. Alma was taking charge of the twins, leaving me free to get ready.

"Karsyn.. help!"

I looked across the room at Karsyn, who was already in her dress. She kept tugging at the sides, though.

"It's too fucking tight!" She ran her hand over her stomach. "What's up?"

"I'm freaking out." I whispered, looking up at Karsyn.

"Dude, why?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. I feel like something's gonna go wrong."

Karsyn moved up beside me. "Let's get you in your dress."

I looked at Karsyn. "You think I'm being stupid?"

Karsyn picked up my dress. "Yes. I do. Nothing is going to go wrong as long as you get yourself in this dress."

I sighed before taking the dress from her. "Just.. smack me up side the head if I start to freak out."

"HAH I would, but your hair is too pretty all pinned up. Just get changed, and stop worrying. Today is the day you've been waiting for."

I nodded at her and smiled before walking into the bathroom to get changed.

If this is is anything like I acted that day at the makeshift wedding at Kevin's place, then I'm glad Nick and I ran off to Hawaii. Emmileigh is acting like a complete diva, but I guess she's entitled to. It's her fucking wedding day that honestly I wasn't gonna sure would arrive either with how slow Donnie was with proposing. She only had two of your children at once.

And this dress, while we got it so I could grow into it, well, I've grown just a little too much. Unnamed baby has decided to show itself to the world while still inside of me. Plus the dress was this fuschia color that made me look like a big ass fat color crayon.

"I'm afraid to sit down in this," I told Emmileigh as she stood there, staring in the mirror. "And my back is killing me.

"Lift it up past your stomach and sit down," she said as I tried what she said and sat down. "See..."

"I might have to change before the reception, good thing I brought another dress because I can't sit with the dress all the way up to my boobs at the reception," I said as Emmileigh chuckled. "Yeah, at least I gave you a high waist at my pretend wedding and you don't have to worry about my water breaking today."

"Well you're the one that likes to keep your pregnancy belly hidden on the inside, I can't help the mini Carter decided to come out and play," Emmileigh said as she slipped her shoes on when we heard a knock at the door. Emmileigh walked over, peeking out of the door and opened it to see Mark squeeze in.

"Just coming to see if you're ready," Mark said as Emmileigh nodded.

"Let's do this so I can change into some flats after this shindig is over," I said, standing back up and pushing my dress down, only to have Mark stare at me. "Oh hush, you've seen a pregnant woman before. How many kids do you have?"

"Glad Donnie's marrying you and not her," Mark whispered as I snorted.

"I heard that."

I honestly couldn't believe that Donnie asked me to be one of his best men, along with Jon. I was sure he was going to ask his brother or Jon or maybe even Danny, who kept giving me weird glares since I was standing up here by Donnie.

I couldn't believe the amount of people that were here and who all were here. Karsyn thought her pretend boy band wedding was fan fiction worthy, wait until she sees Tom Selleck and Tom Brady sitting out in the crowd. Tom Brady, never fucking liked him.

Joey and his wife and kids walked in, taking a seat near the front and Joey waved frantically, giving me a thumbs up at the fuchsia colored tie I had on.

"Why couldn't we wear Celtic green ties like Donnie?" I asked as Jon shrugged.

"Em is the one who picked all this out, talk to her," Jon said, shaking an older lady's hand as she walked back us.

"I think she did this just to annoy me," I said, looking over to see Tom Selleck glaring at me. "God, Karsyn's gonna fan girl walking up the aisle when she sees Magnum P.I. here. What is he doing here anyway?"

"Him and Donnie are close," Jon said, shaking another lady's hand.

"Why are you shaking everyone's hand and nobody's shaking mine?"

"Because you're talking like a fan boy right now," Jon said as I rolled my eyes, looking over at Donnie. I could tell he was nervous. This is why I'm glad we just went to Hawaii. Nobody was watching. We didn't have to put on a show. I have a feeling before the end of the day, Donnie might be thinking the same thing.

"A baby tux!" I practically shouted as Alma walked in with Savannah and Logan. Savannah had on a fluffy white dress and Logan had on little black tuxedo with a Celtic green bow tie.

"We're in a church, Carter," Donnie said, elbowing me.
