Where I Belong: Chapter 1

Llanfair

"Ok Nash which of these earrings do you like best" Jessica said holding up a pair of pearl earrings and a pair of diamond earrings. Nash finished tying his shoe and looked up at her. He was speechless at how beautiful his wife looked in her purple halter dress.

"Wow! You look incredible! Wow!"

Jessica couldn't help but laugh but only for a moment.

"Nash! We're gonna be late for my dad and Nora's wedding! Now which earrings?"

Nash stood up from the bed and walked behind Jess rubbing her shoulders.

"Wear one of each. You look amazing in either of them"

Jessica turned around and lightly kissed Nash.

"You are such an amazing man Nash Brennon. But you have no fashion sense" she chuckled.

"I'm gonna go ask Natalie"

"Natalie's not here Jess"

"What! Where is she?"

"She said she was going to help Nora get ready before the ceremony"

Jessica smiled and put her pearl earrings on the nightstand.

"I'm so glad that Nora and my sister have become so close"

"Why is that?"

"Because now she has someone else to focus on other then Jared Banks"

The bridal room

Natalie zipped up the back of Nora's dress and turned Nora towards her.

"You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen" she smiled.

"Thank you sweetie" Nora said before pulling Natalie into a hug.

"It looks like we're all set" Nora added

"No not yet" Natalie grinned before placing her hand on Nora's shoulders and sitting her down.

"You need your something new, something old, something borrowed and something blue"

"I never took you for someone superstitious Natalie"

"Well you learn something new everyday" she winked

Natalie pulled out a box and placed it on the table. She dug through and pulled out a blue garter.

"Here's your something new and something blue all in one"

Natalie tossed the garter to Nora and Nora just looked up at Natalie.

"Well... put it on"

Nora slid the garter on under her dress then looked back up at Natalie who was holding a handkerchief.

"Something old?"

"That's right"

Natalie handed the handkerchief to Nora who put it in the cleavage of her dress.

"And now for the something borrowed" Natalie smiled.

She picked up a small gold locket and put it on Nora's neck.

"My father gave me this when I turned 16. Its my favorite piece of jewelry and I want you to wear it for your wedding"

Nora smiled as she began to tear up.

"Thank you so much sweetie" she whispered giving Natalie another hug.

"You're welcome Nora"

"I'm gonna get ready now" Nat said picking her dress up from the table.

"You wait here so dad doesn't see you alright"

"Alright"

Back at Llanfair

Clint sat on Viki's sofa waiting for Nash and Jessica to come downstairs and take him to the church. He was so happy in just few short hours he would be calling the woman he loved more then life itself his wife. He thought back to the night he proposed to Nora. It was a magical night, a romantic candlelight dinner with just the two of them and he had proposed to her by putting the ring inside of a fortune cookie. Kind of a lame way of proposing but he thought it was so romantic and so did Nora. His reminiscing was interrupted by knocking on the door. He stood up and went to answer it and was peeved to see Jared standing before him.

"What do you want Banks?"

"I'm here to see Natalie"

"Natalie's not here"

"Oh. Where is she?"

"She's helping Nora get ready"

Clint and Jared glared at each other for a few seconds when Jared broke the ice.

"Look Clint whether you like it or not I'm escorting Natalie to your wedding she wants me there"

Nash and Jessica walked up behind Clint and glared at Jared.

"What are you doing here?" Jessica sneered.

"Fine if everyone has a problem with my being here I'll meet Natalie at the church"

"Fine by us" Clint said slamming the door in his face.

Standing outside of Llanfair Jared pulled out his cell phone and looked for Natalie's number on speed dial.

Nora sat on the edge of the table waiting for Natalie to finish getting ready when she heard Nat's cell ring. She glanced at the bathroom then picked up the phone.

"Hello"

"Uh Natalie"

"Wrong Jared, its Nora"

"Oh Nora, Where's Natalie?"

"Natalie is getting ready"

"Alright, Well tell her I'll see her at the church"

"Yes Jared I will"

Nora slammed the phone shut and placed it back in Nat's purse as she emerged from the bathroom.

"You look great Natalie"

"Not as great as you do Nora. You are glowing today"

"Well I'm marrying the man I love. Oh speaking of men we love, Jared just called you I hope you don't mind that I answered your phone"

"No no no. What did he say Nora?"

"That he'll see you at the church"

"Alright" Natalie said looking at her watch"

Jessica placed her hands on Clint's shoulders as he sat back down.

"What does your sister see in him?"

"I don't know dad. We'll ponder on that thought later because its time to get you to the church" Jessica smiled.

Clint, Nash, Bree and Jessica all left the house and headed to the church.

"Nora its time to get this show on the road"

"Alright" Nora said taking a deep breath and following Natalie out of the bridal room.

They got to the end of the church where they were greeted by Matthew, Nash and Jessica.

"Mom you look awesome!" Matthew grinned giving Nora a big hug.

"He's right Nora you do look awesome" Nash winked.

The wedding march begun playing and Jessica walked down the aisle first on Nash's arm as they took their seat next to Renée. The next person down the aisle was Natalie. As she walked she saw Jared sitting next to Renee. He stopped her and gave her a kiss on the cheek before she went up to the alter. Finally it was Nora's turn to walk down the aisle on Matthew's arm. As she walked down the aisle Clint couldn't help but smile at her because she had the biggest smile on her face that he had ever seen. When she got near the end of the alter she stopped and kiss Matthew's cheek and he took his seat next to Bo. When she got up to the end of the alter she handed Natalie her bouquet and Clint took her hands in his. Neither of them could stop smiling and already Nora was in tears.
