Josephines pov
I feel Anna zip up my dress. I'm wearing a white lace fit and flare dress that flares just from under my knees. It definitely shows my bump, and i love that. I place hands over my bump and realize that this is it. I'm marrying him. I'm marrying the absolute love of my life. The father of my children. The light in the darkness. ' Are you okay Jo? ' Mercy asks me with a soft voice. ' Yeah, i'm just thinking about all the things Hero has done for me. And how surreal it feels to stand here like this, with you guys, thank you, all 3 of you, i love you so much ' i say to Anna, Katherine and Mercy. ' We'll go check up on Georgie, and your mom, we'll be back ' Anna says, and takes Mercy with her, leaving me and Katherine alone. ' You look so pretty Jo ' she says with a tear on her cheek. ' Don't cry Kat, you'll ruin your make up ' i joke, but fighting back my own tears, from both happiness and sadness. My dad was supposed to walk me down the aisle, he was supposed to meet his second granddaughter and Kat's baby in a few months. But i also feel over the moon by the thought of marrying Hero. ' He is the luckiest man on earth to marry you ' she says before squeezing my hand. ' He is as lucky as i am ' i say with a soft smile. We look into each other's eyes for a few seconds. ' I'm having a boy ' Katherine whispers, breaking the silence. ' What?! No way, are you kidding Kat? ' i say while i feel a tear escaping. ' No i'm not, i found out the morning before mom and me left. I am actually farther along than they thought. James and i wanted to keep it to ourselves, but i couldn't help but tell you, so please don't say anything to anyone 'she says with a soft smile. ' I won't. I can't believe you are having a boy 'i say as i place my hand on her small, but showing bump. She places her hand over mine and smiles. ' I love you Jo ' she says. ' I love you too Katherine ' i say before i hug her. ' I hate to interrupt, but it's time Jo ' Anna says. ' George has your vows, he'll be giving you them at the end of the aisle ' she smiles. I give all of them a hug. Mercy and Anna both looks stunning, they're the bridesmaids i always had in mind. Katherine, who is my made of honor, also looks stunning. They give me a last smile before they leave and walk down the aisle. As soon as i see George, a smile spreads onto my lips. He has a loving look on his face, making me feel so happy. ' You look stunning Jo ' he says wholeheartedly before booking his arms into mine. ' Thank you ' i whisper.

I wait anxiously at the end of the aisle. Katherine, Anna and Mercy just made their bridesmaids and maid of honor appearances, and all look stunning. I play with hands until i see everyone standing up, looking at the other end of the aisle. I raise my head as the song ' Love like ours ' from Aron Wright starts playing. Only seconds later Jo appears at the end of the aisle and can't help but gasp. She looks absolutely gorgeous in that dress. It hugs all of her curves perfectly and shows her bump in the cutest way. She walks down the aisle, holding my dad arms tightly. When Jo finally passes the front row Georgie calls her. ' Mommy, mommy! ' she says with a smile on her face. Jo can't help but quickly walk over to her and placing a kiss on her forehead, making every guest go 'ahw!'. When she reaches me, she hugs my dad and he gives her a kiss on the cheek. He hands her over to me and i take her hands into mine. ' You are truly out of this world Jo ' i whisper and listen to what the man in front of me says. ' Today we've come together to celebrate love, to celebrate Josephine and Hero. Today we will see them get united, and make a promise that will last forever ' he says and talks a little more about official things. He says something about vows and Jo gets handed a piece of paper. She looks into my eyes before she starts talking. ' Dear Hero, today we stand here, in front of all our loved ones, to promise each other unconditional love. I remember the moment that i realized i was in love with you; i was crying, having a break down over something i shouldn't break down over at 3 in the morning, and you heard me, and came to check on me, and comforted me in the sweetest way. It was that moment that i realized i didn't want anyone else by my side. That moment is a little over 4 years ago, and in those 4 years you never failed to comfort me. You comforted me when i was stressing myself out over us, you comforted me when i was sick during the promo tour, you even comforted me when i found out i was pregnant and we both had no idea what to do. You always put your own worries aside and help me, and even though i might not always show it, i love that. I know you'll always be there when i need you, even at times when you are struggling yourself. I can't imagine a better person to wake up with every morning, i can't imagine a better person to stick by my side. You are not only loved so much by me, but also by Georgie. I can't think of anyone else to raise my kids with, you are so loving, caring and thoughtful. Hero, i can't possibly thank you enough for everything you've given me. I love you, i always will, with all i have ' Jo says, but now everyone is in tears, including me. I squeeze her hand softly before i start with my vows. ' Dear Jo, today is the day that i'll promise you to love you forever. I don't think it takes much for a person to love you, you look perfect, and are even more perfect inside, filled with kindness and joy. I think that's makes me an even luckier guy to stand here, in front of you, holding your hands and making this promise. You have shown me so much love, in every single situation. I can't imagine not having you by my side, i simply just love you too much to lose you. You are the person i dreamt of, the person i want to spend the rest of my life with, the person who i would want to raise kids with. Thank you for giving me a daughter, and thank you for creating another miracle. It's beyond words how much i love, please, don't ever forget that ' i say while i carefully brush away the tear on her face.
