Chapter 1
25 year old Emma Becker, soon to be Rybak, stood at her kitchen counter having a silent debate in her head about Laurel or Mads being her maid of honor. They had become so close to Emma, especially after they found out the truth about the switch and still accepted her with open arms, Ted and Kristen too.
"Honey, I'm home." A familiar voice shook her out of her thoughts, as she saw her fiancé, Thayer, smiling as he walked through the front door of their house.
"How was golf with your dad and Ted?" Emma asked curiously as he made his way to the kitchen.
"Same old same old, I stink at golf, Ted ends up wining and dad goes home a sore loser. Nothing new." Thayer said with a laugh, before leaning over and giving Emma a quick kiss.
"That sounds fun. It can't be more difficult than what I'm doing here at home." Emma shrugged as Thayer peered over her shoulder at the countless bridal magazines stacked on the table.
"Yes because looking through a catalog for the right type of knife is difficult." Thayer joked sarcastically. Emma glared at him playfully before she let out a quick laugh.
"It takes a lot of time and decision making." Emma protested.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" He asked as he took a seat at one of the stools besides the counter.
"Well, we are going to meet Mads for coffee."
"We?" Thayer asked in surprise.
"Yeah, we arranged it yesterday, didn't I tell you?" Emma asked confused.
"Nope, you must have left that little detail out." Thayer shrugged with a smirk. "So what time are we leaving?"
XXXXXXX
"Hi!" Mads said as she basically ran towards Emma and Thayer who were seated outside at a local coffee hut. She pulled Emma in for a hug as soon as she got close enough to them.
"Hi Mads." Emma smiled as she hugged her soon-to-be step-sister.
"What no love for me?" Thayer asked with a pretend hurt expression.
"Come here, oh brother of mine." Mads giggled as she embraced her brother before they all sat down.
They ordered their drinks and a couple of minutes later they were sipping on their coffees.
Silence filled the air before Mads finally spoke up. "So I heard bits and pieces of it, but tell me, how did the proposal happen?"
Mads bounced with excitement as she started bombarding the couple with questions. "Where did it happen? What time was it? Was Thayer being romantic enough? Details, details, details!"
"Chill Mads, we'll tell you, just calm down." Thayer said calmly.
"Okay so it happened two months ago, we were celebrating our 6 year anniversary and we had just gotten back from dinner..."
"This is just too perfect!" Mads interrupted with a giggle.
"Mads!" Thayer and Emma said in unison with an annoyed look.
"Sorry, continue, continue."
Okay as I was saying: we had just gotten back from dinner and Thayer had a surprise for me..."
(FLASHBACK)
"Where are we going?" Emma asked confusedly as she kept her eyes closed under the demand of Thayer while they walked down the street hand in hand.
"Just be patient, Em! Trust me, you'll love it!" He asked guiding her gently to their destination.
"Can't you just give me a hint to where we are going?" She asked curiously.
"That would be no fun now would it?" He replied with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah!" Emma rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.
"What are we doing here?" Emma asked puzzled as they arrived at the local park.
"Well we both love running here, you always come here to think, you said its peaceful and it lets you empty your mind just for a moment to think about things." Thayer said with a smirk.
"How did you know all of that?" Emma asked in awe.
"You told me." Thayer answered with a quick nod.
"Wow you really are a good listener." Em complimented.
"Hey, can we talk about something important!" Thayer suddenly brought up in a serious tone.
"Oh god! You're breaking up with me aren't you!" Emma said with a horrified expression on her face.
"Em," Thayer started to say but was cut off by Emma.
"I knew it! I just knew this was too good to be true! How could I not see this coming sooner!" Emma cried as tears began to fall from her eyes like a waterfall.
"Em!"
I'm such an idiot! I must have done something wrong or-"
"Emma!" Thayer exclaimed.
"What?"
"I'm not breaking up with you! It's a good kind of important!"
"Really?" Emma asked in shock as she wiped her eyes.
"Yeah!" Thayer replied back with a soft smile.
"Okay then go ahead!" Emma said with a nod for approval as Thayer took both of her hands nervously before he spoke.
"Okay here it goes, Emma, I have known you for a good part of my life. I have been in love with you since I probably first laid eyes on you! You continue to amaze me every day we spend together! These past six years have been full or surprises, both good and bad! Whatever fights we got into, we got past! I couldn't imagine my life without you in it so-" Thayer said locking eyes with Emma before he took a deep breath and released her hands and got down on one knee and took out the engagement ring he had picked out earlier that month.
"Emma Becker, will you do me the great honor of becoming my wife!" He asked with a nervous smile.
"Yes, yes, 100 times Yes!" She said shaking her head as tears of joy came down her face before they embraced tightly and passionately kissed.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
"And then we spent the rest of the night staring at stars." Emma said dreamily as she thought back on one of the best nights of her life.
"Wow my brother, romantic? Who knew." Mads teased as Thayer playfully hit her on the shoulder.
"Hey, I'm very romantic." Thayer protested.
"Your brother can be very romantic when he wants to be." Emma said defending him.
"See." Thayer smiled in triumph as he leaned over and gave Emma a kiss on the cheek.
"This is going to be the best wedding ever!" Mads let out a wide grin, happy that her brother and best friend had finally found some happiness
"I hope so..."
"Okay so who is going to be your maid of honor?" Mads asked turning towards Emma with a curious look.
"Um... About that."
