I don't own anything in this chapter of roses.

Note: well I am now writing for my friend Emily she just came to my school this year and we became friends like instantly. This chapter is dedicated to you and ur support Emmy. This is a lot harder than it looks and my stories aren't even that good. Oh and BTW…Guess what her favorite show is? Lie to Me duh

She never thought the day would come. Gillian and Cal were with their wedding planner. They were picking out everything to make their wedding day perfect. They picked out the cards for the tables with the font for their corresponding cards given out to the guests. They picked out the table clothes and the place they were getting married. They decided what the invitations they were going to send out looked like, and what they were going to say, and what color they would be. Their wedding colors were red and dark blue. They were now trying cakes and frostings. They were exhausted and just wanted to finish their day and go home, but they were going to take their time and make the right decision.

"No, I think I like the angel food cake Cal. Which one do you like?" She stuck her finger in another frosting and cringed at the bitter taste. "Yeah the angel food isn't bad but, I like the red velvet." He licked butter cream icing off his finger. "Mmm…Gill, how about you pick the cake and I pick the frosting. You can trust me you're going to like the frosting I pick."

She looked skeptical but said fine and they each picked. They tried them together and it tasted great. Angel food cake with chocolate frosting. Except for they got a little side cake with red velvet cake and cream cheese icing. On top of the cake they were going to write the date of their wedding and their names, in dark blue icing. Tomorrow Gillian was taking Emilie with her to get her wedding dress. She honestly wanted Cal to help her pick it out but, she wanted to knock him off his feet on their wedding day. The day after that Gillian and Cal were going out again to pick out the bridesmaids and the made of honor's dresses.

They barely had any time for just them. Emily was at her mom's tonight, or at Rick's Cal couldn't remember. She was hardly ever gone so Cal planned a special night for him and Gillian. Once they were done with the planner for today he was taking her to dinner and a movie. They were going to see 'Valentine's Day'. It was a huge chick flick he was sure but, he got to spend time with his girl.

They finished with the planner at 7:00. He took her to a little Thai restaurant on the corner near their planner, Kate Beckett's, office. They sat in a booth and she sat as close to him as she possibly could. They flirted and giggled and talked. He asked her if she was nervous about marrying him and she could hardly believe he was asking her that.

"What? Why would I be nervous about the best thing that's ever happened to me? Are you nervous about marrying me?" She was a little upset. 'Why would he not want to marry me? I thought he loved me?'

"No Luv, its not that, its all those crappy novels you are always reading." He hugged her against him and rubbed her arm to comfort her. " I mean when they find love they always end up losing it right? It seems like those things never end in 'happily ever after' anymore. I just don't want to lose you." She sniffled against his chest and hugged him back before pulling up a little to see his face. "Cal, you couldn't lose me even if you tried."

He was happy to see she wasn't upset anymore. "And why would I want to try?" He asked into her hair. "I have no idea why you would want to lose someone as amazing as me." She shook her head in unbelief. "Wow. You're not conceited."

"Hey you know what you're right I'm not." She smiled and they walked out to the car. He drove her to the movie. There was hardly anyone there and they sat in the back. The theater they were at had huge seats and the arm rests could go up, out of the way, if they wanted them to. They put the arm rest between them up and she snuggled against his side. Yeah, they were probably being a little bit PDA(public display of affection) but, they had just spent an entire day going over things for their wedding. Excuse them for being in love.

"Come on how else am I supposed to be a good step mom? Please." She gave him puppy dog eyes and rubbed her fingers along his chest."No." He stepped back and sat on the couch.

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"How many times do I have to say no?"

"Until you finally say yes. Come on, Cal. What's so bad about your home videos?"

"Nothing's that bad I guess. It's just.." She silenced him with her finger. "Just what? You weren't a good enough father to take any?" She shot him one of her classic smirks. "Oi, I will have you know I took plenty. I just don't want you getting upset by seeing her as a baby. Like around Sophie's age." She looked down and away from him a little bit. She wanted this to be a happy time in her life, and in their life together. Not a time for her to be sad about what she could have had.

"Okay fine you win. Can we watch some TV though?" He looked at her with unbelief. "We just sat and watched a movie for two hours. Isn't that enough? Besides I want to go upstairs with you." He started nuzzling her neck and running his hands over her. She shook her head. "Nope. Sorry but we are getting married in a month and I want to save it till then."

"You act like we haven't done anything all ready." He said between kisses. "Shut up. I want to wait." She giggled. "You want anything?" She said walking towards the kitchen. "Other than that." She said before he could even raise his eyebrow. He smiled. "No, Luv. I'm good."

Gillian was driving herself and Emilie to the bridal shop. They were picking out her wedding dress and she was a mess. She was more nervous now than she had ever been. "Okay, what kind should I get? You know like what should it look like? Should there be lace? Should there be beads? Should there be-"

"Gill," Emilie cut in. "Lets calm down, okay. You are driving and I don't want to die. So keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Plus I watch a lot of 'Say Yes To The Dress' so we should be good." She tried to calm her down. "So do you think you like…"

"Oh, Gill, it's beautiful!" Emilie ran up to hug her soon to be step mom. She wrapped her arms around her in a welcome embrace. "Dad is going to flip out when he sees you!" She looked at Gillian who was standing in a bold white dress. It was strapless with a sweetheart top. She turned around to show her the whole dress. It was a corset back with lace and bead work starting at the skirt. The skirt part was flat like an a-line skirt. It continued to the back with a small train. The consultant put the veil on for Emilie to see the complete look. Tears slid down both their faces. "I think this is the one, Em." Gillian said through tears. "Yeah I definitely agree. It's amazing, and you look great in it." She had tried on dress after dress after dress, it felt good to finally have the one. She was counting down the days.

"Come on Em, we can stop somewhere and get slushies on the way home." Both their faces lit up. 'Can I get raspberry?" Gillian let out a small giggle and said it was no problem. She got the dress and they went by to get their slushies. Emilie got raspberry, just like she declared at the bridal shop, and Gillian got cherry. They walked in smiling from ear to ear thinking about the dress.

"What's up with you two? Oh wait that's right today was the dress day. What's it look like?" He tried to break Gillian down first. He invaded her personal space and looked deep in her eyes for a clue as to what might get her to tell him. She just lifted her slushie to her mouth and took a long sip. She looked at him over the cup and smiled. He knew he wasn't getting anywhere and tried Emilie next. "Em, I know you'll tell me. Right?"

"Nope dad you are going to have to wait. I will tell you she looks amazing in it though." She turned and walked to he room with Gillian following her up the stairs. "This is some sick conspiracy between you two." He called up the stairs and heard nothing but giggles in return.

Yay! Another chappie done. I hope I am not disappointing, I hope you all are liking it and I hope I can get some more done soon…2 chapters left. Oh and the slanted writing is what they are thinking if there was any confusion.
