Prepping

Chapter 49

Okay, what do I have here? My dress, my reception dress, my veil, my shoes, Stella's dress, Norman's suit, Mingus's suit that's all the clothes for the wedding. Suitcase with essentials for the two-day stay that we have at the house. Damn babies need a lot. I walk into our room it looks like a bomb hit it there are our suitcases on the bed coat hangers everywhere and most importantly our passports and tickets for our trip. I don't know what I'm more excited about getting married or our honeymoon it will be nice just the two of us.

Everything's finally packed in the cars I'm taking Stella with me as Norman has everything for the wedding. I'm getting dad and the family as I have room in the car. Dad's looking bad I know he doesn't have long to live but he wants to be there for me, he should be in care but he doesn't want to miss seeing Jackie or me. I see him nearly every day I try, but it's hard with a baby, who he just adores I hate what is happening it's not fair he got a second chance with Elizabeth and Jackie and it's being taken away, he also got a second chance with me and that makes me sad that in a few weeks he won't be here anymore these past few months though sad have been happy. He's so proud of me and just loves Stella.

Norman offered to pay for treatment but when they went to find out about it dad was told he was too far gone to do anything, if he'd been a few months earlier then he might've been okay. I suppose that was my fault if Norman and I had been posting pics as soon as we got together then Elizabeth might have seen me and shown dad and he might just survived but there's nothing we can change just make him as comfortable as possible. After picking them up I head to my next stop the bakery to make sure the girls have everything we need.

"Hi, there's the bride-to-be." Said Theresa. "She's supposed to be all stressed out you know, like a bridezilla but you've been chilled out."

"Had way too much on. What with Stella and dad, I just get what I need done and move on also I have a planner to do everything. So is everything ready do we have enough supplies for all the desserts?"

"Yep we're good we've been prepping all day."

"I hope the kitchen's big enough for us and has enough room to move in. Because I need my music."

"Oh, I hear you sister. I hope you girls have your dancing shoes on because we're going to party."

"We sure are girl."

"We'll be relaxing as the staff will take care of everything, the only thing I ask is to try and not go crazy over the guests okay."

"We won't Ella."

"Okay I'll see you all in a few hours and I hope you don't forget anything. Do you want me to take the cake topper or will you remember?"

"No, it's all good now go get there relax and be ready because I'm going to kick your ass."

"Oh, it's on like donkey kong Theresa. Bring it on."

"Oh, I already brung it."

"Ha, very funny Theresa let's just have a good time okay."

"Okay, I'll see you later. Girls, I'll see you tomorrow. Just neat casual okay nothing too fancy unless you want to try picking someone up."

"Bye Ella."

"Bye girls."

I walk out to the car and drove over to the location it was a long drive. I was happy to see Norman's jeep.

"Hey, baby welcome. What took you so long?"

"I was talking to the girls making sure everything's right."
