My wedding was perfect. We spent 2 days just relaxing on the beach and having fun. Macey and Mark were inseparable and would only go by M&M. Liz had stayed in a room with me and Bex, the moment she realized we weren't going to tear her apart (like other cheerleaders would) she relaxed and we became friends. Zach and Grant became the best of friends. I was so nervous I thought I was gonna puke. All I could think was he didn't love me. I can't do this. I'm too young to get married. What if I'm a terrible wife? What if I'm a terrible mother? Liz slapped me in my face and I snapped back into reality.
"Everything is going to be fine Cam. I know he loves you, he always has. He's my best friend and I know he loves me but it is nothing compared to the way he loves you. Just promise me something." I nod and she continues. "Promise you won't break my best friends' heart."
Tears trickled down my cheek from her speech. "I promise."
"Cameron Ann Morgan! You better not be crying I just did your makeup." I heard Bex scream.
The ceremony was on the beach so we didn't wear shoes. There were a lot of kids from school who were on vacation so we invited them. Most of the people work for us and wanted to see the two companies "officially" merge. Macey was the first one down the isle and she wore a red dress with spaghetti straps and a bow on her waist. Bex and Liz had had plain red strapless dresses with a band around their waists and skirts made out of netting material. My dress was beautiful. It was white and had a fluffed out skirt. The design on the dress was so detailed and hard to describe. I had red heart shaped necklace and earrings with diamonds outlining them. I cried but Bex was too so she couldn't get mad at me about my makeup. We wrote out own vows and I couldn't stop smiling, neither could Zach. We kissed and walked down the isle but what surprised everyone was when Macey and Mark kissed. The reception was in a room at the hotel we were staying at. For our honeymoon we went to Disneyland.
I try to think of all these happy events because the pain is intolerable. Zach was telling me to breathe but he wasn't the one giving birth.
After our honeymoon, Zach and I had started homeschooling and that was when we started the studying reward system. Once the tutor, who tried to seduce Zach, left we would spend the next hour studying. If we got an answer right we would get a kiss or a couple kisses. If the answer was really hard we would get a bit more than a few kisses.
It was the second week of senior year and we started with the hard questions and got a little carried away. On our anniversary, Christmas Eve, Mrs. Goode made me take pregnancy test which turned out positive. My first appointment was after winter when we found out I was 4 months pregnant. Now I'm giving birth and I went into labor at the worst possible time.
Zach and I had to go to Roseville High to write our exams. I was writing my Chemistry final and 30 minutes into the test I felt my water break and pain surge through my body. Bex was sitting in the desk behind me so in big letters I wrote 'BABY!' on my test and passed it to her, she gasped and stood up. She helped me out the classroom and walking right past the teacher and surprised students. Once we were out of the classroom Mr. Smith followed us.
"She having her baby!" Bex whispered-yelled. Mr. Smith turned pale and fainted. "Wait here," Bex instructed.
I had calmed down from my contraction. I slid down the lockers onto the ground. Bex ran down the hall and burst into a classroom.
"Zachary Goode needs to leave because there is an emergency," she said.
"Sorry Rebecca but he is writing a test and you should be too."
"It's an emergency!" Bex shouted.
Mrs. Rinta pulled her out into the hall with her back facing away from me."
"What is so important you have to disturb a FINAL EXAM!?" Mrs. Rinta sighed.
"If you turn around you'll see, his wife is in labor and Mr. Smith fainted," Bex screamed.
I felt the pain again and I clutched my stomach trying my best to keep my cries quiet. I felt myself being scooped into some, Zach's, arms. We got to the office and Joe drove Zach, Grant, Bex and I to the hospital.
I have been in labor for 13 and a half hours and it is finally time. It took several pushes and a great deal of screaming before beautiful baby Christine Samantha Goode is born.
The doctors and out friends finally left us alone. Zach came under the covers of the hospital bed and held me while I held Christine.
"I thought you wanted a boy."
"I did. I do. We try again another time." I look up at Zach and his face shows nothing but love. "I love you Zach."
"I love you too Cam. I'll always love you."
He leans down and softly kisses me. We lie down and fall asleep with Kissy, as Macey says, in my arms.
