Chapter 69
I couldn’t help but think back on everything that has happened in my life and marvel at how far I have come. It hadn’t been easy. I had a lot of ups and downs, but I was able to scale through them. It’s been ages since I graduated from high school. I was also done with college and will be starting
my residence next year,
I wasn’t able to do all this by myself. I had my parents, my brother, and my friends. Like I had wished, we all stayed connected even after so muny years, we were very much intact. Most of all, I had a loving finance who helped me through every trail I had to go through to get to where I am
Yes, you got that right.
1 I’m engaged to Hayden; in fact, today was our wedding day. He had proposed three months ago. I had recently graduated from college when Hayden asked me out on a date. Believe me, I was beyond shocked and, at the same time, extremely happy at the thought of officially being Gabrielle King.
Things with Hayden and me through these past years weren’t rosy and the sun shone, but we were able to stand strong together. I know being married to him will be filled with a lot of joy as we make more cherishable and happy memories,
We have been together for seven years, as nervous and anxious as I was about today. I am so ready for today, too.
“I’m so nervous, my heart keeps beating fast. I’m afraid it might fly out of my chest at this rate.” I said I was doing everything I could to stop my hand from shaking.
“There is nothing to be nervous abour, it’s your big days enjoy it” Sofle said, fixing my hair.
“I know, I know, I must want today to be perfect. I fiddled with my fingers, twirling the promise ring Hayden had given me seven years ago.
“It’s going to be perfect; we made sure of that. Trust us and relax a bit..” Maddie says. “You being nervous makes me nervous as well. Which is not good for the baby”
1 stopped playing with my fingers and turned to look at her. Did she just say baby? Sofie had the same shocked expression on her face as I did.
When Maddie realized what she said, her eyes widen, and she gives us a guilty smile. It was silent for a few minutes before Sone and 1 squealed, excited
“Oh my God, really. I asked as I looked at Maddie, surprised
“Yes, I found out two weeks ago. She answered, smiling
“Congratulations, girl, why didn’t you say anything?” Sofie questioned, giving Maddie a hug.
“Bree had a wedding to plan; this was supposed to be your month. I wanted to tell you after the wedding” she explained.
“I won’t mind, Maddie, this is great news”
“How far are you?” Sofie asked.
“A month and two weeks” Maddie answered. Believe me, morning sickness is a bitch; I can’t even eat the food I want. I keep throwing up and tend to get sleepy most of the time.” She whined, putting out a breath.
Maddie and Dylan gos married two years after graduating from high school. They were only twenty and probably too young to get married, bur they love each other a lot even now. Things between them have been a rollercoaster, but their love has always managed to prevail, especially if Dylan had to leave for his games and Maddie had school to focus on.
They didn’t want any kids on the way until Maddie was done with school: that way, they could move to California, where Dylan resides. After Maddie graduated. Dylan bought a bigger house for them.
“That’s all part of being pregnant; yours couldn’t have been possible worse than Bree.” Sofie scoffed, playfully nudging me.
Hey….. It’s not my fault; I get emotional, and my hormones weren’t helping” I whined, and the girls laughed.
Did I forget to mention that I have an adorable four–year–old son!
When I got pregnant, I was twenty–one and just entering my third year of college. I was beyond scared; I didn’t know what to do. At that time, I nah told the girls about the baby, I couldn’t tell Hayden and my family. Hayden and I were going through some rough patches, and I didn’t krime
The or my family were going to react.
when I found the courage. I texted him to let him know I wanted to talk to him. I was sure how he was going to take it, so I just blunted it out ith my eyes closed. When I didn’t hear a word from him. I slowly opened my eyes, dreading his reaction, but I was surprised
Chapter 69
Hayden had the biggest smile on his face, he immediately scooped me into his arms, twirling me around while laughing. We told our parents a month after I told them, and they supported us
Haylers wanted us to get married immediately, but I wanted to finish college first, so we had to wait. He had recently taken over his dad’s company
I can’t even complain because little lan is so cute” Sobe mutters. “That’s to be expected with you and Hayden’s genes.” Sofie spoke again. She Turned to Madde, taking a hold of her hand. “I’m happy for you, Maddie,”
“Thanks, Sofie” Maddie responded, clearly feeling overwhelmed. “Enough about me, we need to get free into her wedding gown” She says, pointing at me before going to pick up the dress. “Get into your dress; there is no time. Maddie yelled.
I hurriedly stood up from the chair while Sofie and Maddie helped me into my gown. My wedding dress was sophisticated and elegant, courtesy of my moh and Victorix. Those two have become best friends these past few years, and surprisingly, the same is true for Dominic and my dad.
I don’t know what happened or what kind of spell was cast on him, but he had been a big support in Hayden and my life’s. When I gave birth to lan, he helped me find a nanny. The best of the best for his grandson while I study. He literally spoils the boy.
Last year, on lan’s birthday, he gifted him a yacht because his beloved grandson wanted one. Things between Hayden and him are good now, except when it comes to lan. Hayden complains to his dad that he spoils him, but Dominie just won’t have it.
I was brought out of my thoughts by Maddie helping me with my veil “You look beautiful, Bree; Hayden is going to have his jaw hanging down his mouth.”
1 stood in the full–length mirror, staring straight at my reflection, and she was right, I looked stunning. I turned to look at them, grateful for their help. “Thanks guys, I don’t know how I would have done this without the both of you”
“It’s nothing, what are friends for?” Sofie replied with a grin on her face. The sound of a knock at the door caught our attention, and Maddie walked over to open it. My parents stood on the other side of the door, along with Asher and Diana, his best friend, but we all know he has a crush on her.
“My baby, I can’t believe you are all grown up” My mom walked in her arms opened wide, dragging me in for a hug. She pulled away, trying to stop The tears that threatened to fall from her eyes.
My dad walked towards me, his eyes a little red. He was struggling not to cry. “You look beautiful, princess, like a true goddess,” he said, giving me a bug.
when
After a brief moment, he took a step back, staring at me with so much joy “I hope you and mom won’t start crying you know how I get w someone cries in front of me I joked, making the two of them laugh
“We won’t cry,” my dad promised. “We don’t want you to cry, then end up having the mascars drip down your face, scaring the crap out of Hayden.” I laughed, pulling him in for another hug before taking a step back.
Asher walked towards me with Diana and said, “Congratulations. Bree, you look gorgeous. He says, pecking my cheeks,
“Thanks, big man.”
You look great, Bree. Diana said.
“Thank you. Ana; you look beainful I complimented her, and she blushed. “How is high school?
“Still the same. She whispered.
“You guys can talk later, right now we need to get you to the church. My mom stepped in. We all walked out of the room. My dad opened the door for me to get in before getting in as well. The rest of the family followed behind us as we made our way to the church.
We got to the church in no time, and the girls helped me with my gown. We made our way up the stairs of the church, stopping at the entrance, Sofie and Maddie had already gone in first
I locked my hands with my dad when the door slowly opened. The music erupted inside the room, and I felt my beart racing like a humming bird. I heard people gasping. In delight, when I stepped in my entire body was filled with anxiety. They all stood on their feet, waiting for us to walk in.
