After everything they had been through, they tried to get some kind of normalcy back. It had been a month since the situation with Penny. Lexi had blocked out most of it, doctors said it was normal. The baby was growing and healthy.
"You look so beautiful", Brie said, fixing Lexi's hair.
"Thank you", Lexi said.
She looked over the simple blush dress she had on. Brie touched Lexi's bump.
"Your mommy and daddy are getting married today", Brie said.
Lexi gave her a small smile. Dean had wanted her to start planning again, but she declined and they chose a small backyard wedding. As soon as possible.
"Are you ok?", Brie asked.
Lexi met her eyes in the mirror.
"I'm fine", she said.
Brie nodded. Truth was, Lexi had been struggling with everything that happened. She couldn't sleep, it was hard to eat, and the nightmares were getting worse. She didn't want to tell anyone because she didn't want them to worry. She placed her hand on her growing bump, smiling.
"Let's get you married than", Brie said.
They walked out into the hall and Nikki came out with Gracie in her arms.
"Look how cute you look princess", Lexi said to Gracie.
"Are we ready?", Seth asked.
"Yes we are", Nikki said.
She handed Gracie over to Seth. He kissed her cheek and made her giggle. Gracie was apart of the reason why she hadn't completely lost it. Her baby needed her, but it was getting harder and harder. The soft music started playing as she took her step dad's arm. April walked out first with Seth on her arm. Nikki went next with Roman, and Brie went next with Bryan.
Dean grew even more nervous as it was getting closer to Lexi's turn. Everyone stood and he took a deep breath. Lexi and her step dad walked through the double doors, leading to their backyard.
"Wow", Dean said.
The twins had gone all out on the decorations in the backyard. Trying to fit as much of what Lexi wanted originally before the Penny situation. The lights hanging from the trees went well with the sunset. Light pink rose petals were spread out on the tables, with silver candles floating in vases.
His heart sped up as Lexi got closer. He smiled.
"Who gives this woman, to this man?", the minister asked.
"Her mom and I do", her step dad said.
He placed Lexi's hand in Dean's, before kissing her cheek. Lexi stood beside him and he leaned over as the minister spoke.
"You look so beautiful", he whispered.
She blushed.
"You don't look so bad yourself", she whispered back.
After the minister was done and they exchanged rings. Dean honestly thought being married would make him feel different, it didn't. All he knew was that he loved his now wife, more than ever.
"You may now kiss the bride.", the minister said.
Dean leaned over and kissed her passionately. Everyone cheered and whistled.
"I am proud to present, Mr. And Mrs. Jonathan Good", the minister said.
"I love you wife", he whispered against her lips.
She smiled.
"I love you husband", she replied.
After a few photos and hugs from family and friends. Dean took Lexi inside. He wanted a moment alone with his new wife.
"Feel different?", Lexi asked.
Dean smiled.
"Not really. I do know I love you so much more.", he said.
"That's a feeling Dean", Lexi said.
He chuckled and placed his hands on her bump.
"How's she doing?", he asked.
"Moves a lot, especially at night", she said.
"Is that why you can't sleep? I hear you get up and walking around at night", he said.
"Yeah", Lexi said.
He placed a finger under her chin and lift her head.
"Tell me what's bothering you. I know something is", he said.
"I've been having nightmares, about Penny, but I swear I'm fine. Lia wakes me up with her hard kicks. She might be the future wrestler in the family", Lexi said.
"That's my girl", Dean said, kissing Lexi's bump.
Lexi giggled. He placed his hands on Lexi's cheeks gently.
"You would tell me if its something bad right? You can talk to me babe", he said.
She wanted too, but couldn't bring herself to say the words.
"I'm good", she said.
He nodded and kissed her.
"Let's get down to the party", he said.
She stopped him.
"I have to use the restroom, I'll meet you down there", she said.
He nodded. She walked into the bathroom and took a deep breath. Her hands were shaking. Some times they just did that without her knowing it. Amelia kicked hard. Even thinking about Penny gave her panic attacks.
"Sorry sweet girl. Mommy's trying not to think about her", Lexi said softly, rubbing her bump.
She composed herself and walked out and back down to the party. Dean, Roman, and Seth were taking a shot. She didn't understand why Dean could all of a sudden act like it didn't bother him. Like nothing happened.
She pushed those thoughts away and went over to April, who held Gracie.
"You ok?", she asked.
"I really wish everyone would stop asking me that. It's so annoying", Lexi snapped.
April and the girls looked at her, shocked. Lexi sighed.
"Sorry. I'm fine, I'm just tired of getting asked the same question", Lexi said.
They nodded.
"How does it feel to be a married woman?", Phil asked.
"It really doesn't feel any different.", Lexi said.
"That's the same thing I said. It really doesn't", April said.
Dean was watching Lexi. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't help her till she wanted to admit she needed help.
"Does Lexi seem different to you?", he asked.
"I didn't want to say anything, but it's normal. She went through something traumatic and hasn't talked about it. She just needs time", Roman said.
Dean nodded.
"She said she's been having nightmares. Should I be worried?", Dean asked.
"How bad and how long has she been having these nightmares?", Roman asked.
"I don't know how long or how bad. We were upstairs and I asked her, she admitted it, but laughed it off.", Dean said.
Roman nodded and looked towards Lexi.
"Just keep an eye on her", Roman said.
Dean nodded. He watched as Nikki went over to the DJ. She took the mic and everyone looked over at her.
"Ok, so Lexi and Jon, first off, congratulations. I am so happy for the both of you. So, Brie and I just found out that Jon and Lexi didn't pick a song to dance to as husband and wife.", Nikki said.
Dean groaned and everyone laughed.
"Everyone needs a song Jon", Nikki said.
Brie joined Nikki.
"Anyway, we decided to pick one for them. To us, it makes us think of them.", Brie said.
"So Jon, you better grab your wife and pull her to the dance floor", Nikki said.
Dean set his beer down and walked over to Lexi. He took her hand and pulled her to the dance floor. Nikki nodded to the dj and the song started playing.
At Last by Etta James
"Does fit us", Dean whispered to her.
She nodded against his shoulder.
"And you hate dancing", Lexi said.
"But I love you. What you want, you get", he said.
She placed her lips against his.
