This is my first fanfiction ever. I know it is short and well not well done. I wanted to talk a little about the time jump in this chapter and where everyones life's were now. But the chapters hopefully will be better from here on. Please don't hate me if you don't agree with how things go. Hope someone likes it. (im gonna try to scan through other stories to make sure im not stealing ideas/ if you think i am please let me know! i never would mean to!)

It had been four years since Zoe Hart had left her big city life behind her and headed to Bluebell Alabama to start her GP. Never did she think that that practice would actually end up being part hers and the doctor there before her was her actually biological father. Or that she would become best friends with the mayor Lavon Hayes, and decently good friends with Lemon Breeland. But this is how her life had started turning out. In a direction she originally never saw coming and never would have wanted. But life isn't always see what you see coming.

At first she was just a doctor staying in passing for one year. She needed time as GP to earn her fellowship. Being here was almost torture at first some days it was torture. She lived out of the old house on the back of the mayor's property. Given, over time she had it fixed up a little so it didn't look so run down. Well actually Wade Kinsella fixed it up for her. If she needed painting, carpentry, or anything done alone those lines really he was her man. She did not want to know the people, she didn't think she would get use to the heat, or the small town in general.

But now she was a doctor people had come to love. The heat now seemed bearable. And she loved the small town. Zoe had stuck around past her one year deadline and made some of the best friends of a life time.

Lavon Hayes was the mayor, technically her landlord and one of her best guy friends. He had been the since the start, and still put up with her crap. He cooked breakfast in the morning and saved Zoe endlessly from Burt Reynolds. Zoe still didn't get along with the alligator.

Annabeth Nass was one of her closest girl friends now that they were aloud to see each other out in public. They spent time together in mobile shopping or getting their hair down. But Annabeth was just as busy as Zoe now with her and lemons catering business taking off.

Lemon Breeland, they had actually become good friends. They would go to coffee together, lemon would try to change Zoes look, and they would repeat the same thing next week. Zoe would post poster up at the office for the events or meetings lemon was hosting and would attend as well.

George Tucker. Golden boy as people called him. He was still a lawyer and still an amazing guy. He and Zoe would get set back to new york now and again to see her parents and him to see his friends. He secretly hated flying alone.

And Wade Kinsella. Still lived in the little place he did on Lavons land. Still painted things Zoe needed fixed. But now he owned the Rammer Jammer. He thought it would make more sense to buy this one then start another bar in such a small town.

Things in Bluebell were ever changing. But at the same time always staying the same.

Zoe's fingers were shaking. She was flatting out her dress. It seemed like it was bigger then she remember. Maybe this wasn't what she wanted to wear. Now she was over thinking, one of her worst attributes or so she has been told. She fluffed her chocolate locks over her shoulders and pulled her shoulders back. She wasn't use to this color anyways. Or so little color. What was she suppose to do though… she couldn't take it back. Or could she? That would look bad. Really bad most likely. You don't just return things bluebell. Gossip spreads fast around her. Faster then she could take the dress off and not think about it anymore. Then she heard her voice...

"Zoe Hart that dress took forever to find, you best come out here and show me" Lemons voice was still one that made Zoe which. Lemon got what she wanted or there was hell to pay.

"Don't know if I'm so in love with it" Zoe mumbled out, knowing she would be prepared for any type of reaction lemon was about to give her. But dead silence was the response she got. Till the curtain whipped open and a pair of arms pulled her out into the open of the store.

"Hey… what if I was naked in there" Zoe was stumbling around to catch her balance.

"You didn't think I was never gonna see on ya did you? Even if you 'don't love it'…" She mocked Zoe on the last three words fairly harshly.

There she was standing; in a dress that was half New York and half Bluebell. It had more length to it then her normal attire and just the right amount lace. Lemon was trying to get her into something 'More Suitable' at least that is what she kept saying. How did she get herself into this. Letting Lemon give her style advice. They were two totally different people. But who else did she really have to turn to. Lavon would pretend he cared but beg her to get a girl friend. So here she was with her 'girl friend'.

Zoe still wasn't sold.

Lemon flattened out the back and pulled at the buttons, jolting Zoe back a bit. "Hey now, I'm not your dress up doll" 'You want it to fit don't you" Lemon raised her eyebrow. "Or are you trying to hide something.." Lemons eyes wondered to Zoe's stomach. Zoe smacked her shoulder. "No there is not" Zoe was not pregnant and didn't plan on that for a while. She was already over-whelmed with everything going on right now she didn't need a baby rumor on top of it. "Would you please stop saying things like that lemon" she sternly looked to the blonde.

"Forget that…. Look"

Look at what thought Zoe. Till she saw the mirror in front of her. Okay... maybe she was in love with it.

After all it was her wedding dress.

Short i know.. Just wanted to set it up a little. There will be back flashes too.. Or i might wright a pre-quel. I haven't decided what will work better for this story. And to be honest i might still change how i think its going to go. Please be nice with the reviews i'm a semi-rookie.
