Sorry I took so long to update this story.
My brain just wouldn't let me think...
I would like to thank all who have read and reviewed so far.
I own my OC Roxy.
Please let me know if you like the chapter...
Stephanie had to practically drag the blonde into the bridal boutique. The two of them had been on a shopping trip. Roxy had been against the idea of going bridal shopping, but Stephanie was determined to draw out the little girl in her. After all, all girls loved the fairytale dresses, didn't they? The blonde put up as much of a struggle as she could manage against her friend.
"Do we have to do this?" Roxy groaned as Stephanie took her by the hand.
"Yes! It will be really fun." The brunette answered.
"I'm almost six months pregnant!" the blonde protested.
"Stop complaining." Stephanie told her.
"Oh Stephanie." Roxy groaned as she was pulled into the store.
"Hello. Can I help you?" A friendly looking woman asked them.
"Yes, as you can see, my friend is pregnant. We wondered if there were any dresses she could try that could be altered as the wedding is after the birth." Stephanie explained.
"I'm sure we can find something." The woman nodded and disappeared amongst the racks of pale coloured lace and layers of taffeta and satin.
The blonde took a seat on one of the elegant floral seats. Stephanie walked over to the racks and began to browse the gowns there. They waited for a few minutes before the woman returned with several dresses for Roxy to try on.
"Which one first?" the woman asked.
The blonde let out a silent sigh as she was ushered into a small changing area and a dress was thrust through the curtain on a hanger.
"I think the colour compliments your skin and hair." The woman told her.
"It does look beautiful." Stephanie agreed.
"So, can we go now?" Rozy asked hopefully.
"No. We still need to try on the other ones." The brunette shook her head.
"I think this one would look lovely on you." The woman added as she held up a white lace gown.
Roxy sighed as she was once again ushered into the changing area. She removed the other gown and passed it back to the woman. As she slipped on the second dress she felt something, but it wasn't the baby, it was the dress. Walking out of the curtain, Stephanie grinned and nodded as she took in the sight of the blonde in the dress. Roxy stood in front of the full-length mirror and admired her reflection.
The dress was a floor length pure white gown with lace overlay and a fishtail skirt. Lace and diamante sleeved rested off her shoulders. A satin sash was just under the bust line and there was a small train at the back. The woman walked up behind Roxy and slipped a veil on to complete the look.
"Wow." Sighed the blonde.
"You like?" the woman asked.
"I think you look beautiful." Stephanie told her friend.
"I know this may sound stupid, but I think this dress is the one." Roxy told her friend.
Stephanie stood up and clapped happily as she admired the blonde in her dress. She was winning the battle now that Roxy actually found a dress that she liked. The blonde returned from the changing room and handed the woman the dress back. Her brunette friend stopped the woman with the dress and turned to her friend.
"Do you want this dress?" asked Stephanie.
"I love it." Roxy shrugged and sighed.
"So…?" the brunette frowned a little.
"Have you seen the price tag? I can't afford that. It's not like my dad's paying for the wedding." Roxy replied and took a seat in one of the floral chairs.
"We'll take it." The brunette smiled at the woman.
"Stephanie! Did you not hear what I just said?" Roxy frowned.
"I heard you. But, this is the dress." The brunette smiled and took out her credit card.
"What are you doing?" the blonde asked her.
"I'm buying your dream dress." Stephanie replied.
Roxy was completely speechless. This was typical of her friend. They had always been generous to one another, but Stephanie would not accept no for an answer. Of course, Roxy had fallen in love with that dress. She could see herself wearing the white lace as she looked into Matt's brown eyes and made her vows to him. She felt bad about accepting the dress from her friend though. Chances were that she would not be able to pay her back any time soon.
"I know what you're thinking." Stephanie nodded.
"What?" the blonde asked as she was pulled from her thoughts.
"Call it a wedding gift." The brunette smiled.
"But, I can't do that. It's so…" Roxy stumbled over her words as she cried happy tears.
"Don't cry!" the brunette told her.
"Damn hormones!" the blonde exclaimed.
"So, will you please accept your wedding dress?" the brunette asked hopefully.
The blonde nodded and stepped forward, into the open arms of her friend. Both women were embracing for a few minutes, until the woman returned and informed them that the dress was being stored for the alterations before the wedding. Roxy grinned and hugged Stephanie again.
Roxy waved as Stephanie's car pulled away from the apartment. The brunette had dropped her off home after the shopping trip. The accountant let herself into the apartment and immediately sighed at the sight before her. Matt had set up a beautiful candlelit dinner and placed a bouquet of roses in the middle of the table.
"Matt…" she sighed as she walked towards him.
"I'm glad Steph kept you out long enough." He grinned and embraced her.
"That was why she ended up buying my wedding dress…?" the blonde raised her brow.
"Whatever kept you occupied until I could set all this up." Matt smiled.
"I guess it was worth it." Roxy nodded and glanced around the room.
"We can eat dinner now, or there's a bubble bath with your name on it." Matt told her.
"Really?" she smiled at him.
"Actually, yeah." He said as he took her hand and led her to the bathroom.
Roxy sighed and then giggled as she laid eyes on the bubble bath. All along the counter were little candles, which Matt had set out to spell "Roxy" and left a robe on the door that said "Mommy to Be" on the left breast pocket. She shook her head in disbelief.
"Why all of this?" she asked curiously.
"I know you've been worried recently. I wanted to make you relaxed and happy." Matt replied honestly.
"I appreciate this a lot." The blonde smiled and leaned in to kiss his lips.
"I'm glad. Future Mrs Korklan." He grinned.
I hope this was ok.
