She Didn't Have Time Chapter 36, a wrestling fanfic

*Thank-you for all the reviews on the last chapter. They were greatly appreciated. Thank-you so much.

The next evening Charlie had just finished getting her make up on and getting her hair done for her wedding and was putting on her dress with Olivia's help. She had forgotten about her growing stomach as she put it on in front of her mom. "Charlie, are you putting on weight?" Asked Elaine.

"I eat a lot when I get stressed," she said as she pulled the dress up.

"If I didn't know any better I would say you were pregnant. Are you pregnant?"

"Just putting on a little weight," said Charlie as Olivia zipped the back of her dress. She stood looking at herself in the mirror and she saw her dress was incredibly tight. Her chest had grown so much that she was having trouble fitting her breasts into the haltered dress and her stomach was in full view. She could barely breathe. "This isn't working!" She said with tears in her eyes. "I look like a whore."

"No you don't, Charlie," said Olivia.

"And I'm fat," she said as she looked over herself one more time. "I can't breathe either."

"What are you going to do about it, Charlie?" asked Elaine, "your wedding starts in 45 minutes. There's nothing you can do about it now."

"I can't wear this dress," said Charlie, "look at my boobs they are overflowing over the top. I'm not trying to have a malfunction on my wedding day."

"Then what are you going to wear?" asked Elaine. "That dress cost $500.. And now 45 minutes before your wedding you don't want to wear it? Come on, Charlotte. It's not going to be that long. As soon as the wedding is over you can change."

"Mama, I can't. I can't wear this dress. I can't breathe. I'll pass out."

"If you controlled your food intake before the wedding we wouldn't be having this problem," she said, "take it off."

"What am I going to wear?" she asked as Olivia unzipped the dress allowing her to breathe again.

"I don't know. I'll think of something," she said. "I will be back in 20 minutes," she said as she left with the dress.

"Great," said Charlie as she sat down. "I have no wedding dress and my mama just left. This is not what I expected for my wedding," she said as she was about to cry.

"Just calm down, Charlie," said Olivia as she comforted her. "It's going to be okay."

"What's wrong with Mama?" asked Laney in her white dress with the red strap tied around her waist with her blonde hair curled and hanging down.

"She's okay," said Olivia. "She's just having some wedding anxiety."

"Oh," said Laney, "It's okay, Mama. You look beautiful no matter what."

"Thanks," said Charlie with a smile.

Twenty minutes later and Elaine still hadn't returned. She had run into a little trouble so she called Charlie to tell her that it would be another 15 or 20 minutes right around the time the wedding was supposed to start. Charlie was not happy and she was starting to think her wedding wasn't going to happen. "I'm going to go let Mason know," said Olivia. "I'll be right back," she said as she left the room.

She walked down the hall to where Mason was getting dressed and ready for the wedding and knocked on the door. Husky answered and said, "Yes, Olivia?"

"I need to talk to Mason. We are having a little problem."

"What kind of problem?" he asked.

"Just get Mason. I'm sure he will fill you in."

"Okay," said Husky as he closed the door to get Mason.

A couple minutes later Mason stepped outside the door and said, "What's going on, Olivia?"

"There may be a little delay."

"Why?"

"Because Charlie couldn't fit in her dress so her mom took it somewhere and ran into some trouble so she wont' be back for 20 minutes. So there's going to be a delay."

"Damn," he said. "Where did she go?"

"She didn't say but she took the dress and left. I just wanted to let you know. One of the ushers should probably tell the guests."

"All right," said Mason. "I'll tell my dad to tell everyone we're running later than expected and tell Charlie everything is going to be okay. I know she is probably freaking out right now but just tell her everything is going to be okay."

"I will," said Olivia. "Thank-you," she said as she walked away.

She went back and delivered the message to Charlie. It helped her cheer up a bit but she was still freaking out about the wedding until her mom showed up 25 minutes later with another dress for Charlie. "Oh my gosh, Mama, I thought you were never coming back."

"I was. I went and got you a new dress. I know it's not the dress you wanted to wear but it's a dress and it should fit. Put it on," she said handing it to Charlie.

"Okay," she said as she slipped the dress on. It was much different than the dress she had picked out but it was still beautiful. It was a white spaghetti strapped dress that came down to Charlie's ankles and there was bead work on the chest. Olivia zipped it up in the back and Charlie looked at herself in the mirror. "I love it. Thank-you, Mama."

"You're welcome," she said, "I'm glad it fits you."

"Thank-you," she said as Olivia grabbed her veil and put it on her bun. "Beautiful," said Charlie with a smile.

"You look like a princess, Mama," said Laney as she looked up at her mom.

"Thank-you," said Charlie.

"You do look beautiful," said Olivia, "so lets go have a wedding." She sent a text to Husky to let him know it was a go so that everyone could get into their places so the wedding could begin. Chastity, Bella, Olivia and Charlie's mother made their way upstairs as Charlie helped Laney get her basket to carry upstairs.

When Charlie reached the foyer she could see inside the sanctuary. The pews on her left were decorated along the aisle side with white lace and red pointsettas and the pews on her right were decorated with red lace along the aisle side with white pointsettas. The alter was decorated with a white arch where Mason was standing waiting for Charlie to join him. The arch was decorated with the red and white lace intertwined and an alternating red and white pointsettas about a foot apart. There was a red carpet rolled down the aisle of the church for the wedding party to walk on. Everything was perfect like Charlie imagined it to be. It was everything she could have dreamed of on a Christmas Eve wedding. The music began to play as the wedding party began to walk down the aisle. Charles joined Charlie and whispered to her, "you look beautiful."

"Thank-you," said Charlie with a smile as she waited for it to be her turn. Laney and David walked before her and once they had reached the alter the wedding march began to play and Charlie and her dad began to walk down the aisle as the guests took pictures as she walked. She felt like she was in a dream and once she reached the alter the minister said a prayer.

After the prayer the minister said, "who gives this woman to this man?"

"I do," said Charles with a smile as he placed Charlie's hand into Mason's. He kissed her forehead and then took his seat next to Elaine.

Mason smiled at Charlie as the minister began the ceremony. The minister ran through the Bible principles of marriage and read from Corinthians about what love is. "Mason and Charlotte come today desired to be united in this sacred relationship. Let us pray," said the minister as he said another prayer over Charlie and Mason. After the prayer he went into the vows of marriage. "I now ask you each to repeat these vows after me," he said, "I Mason take you Charlotte."

"I Mason take you Charlotte," said Mason with a smile as he looked at Charlie.

"To be my wedded wife."

"To love and cherish, for better or worse."

"To love and cherish, for better or worse," said Mason with a shaky voice.

"For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health."

"From this day forward."

"From this day forward," said Mason with a smile.

"Charlotte repeat after me," he said, "I Charlotte take you Mason."

"I Charlotte take you Mason," said Charlie with a smile.

"To be my wedded husband."

"To love and cherish, for better or worse."

"For richer or poorer in sickness and in health."

"For richer or poorer in sickness and in health," said Charlie holding back from crying.

"From this day forward."

"From this day forward," said Charlie giving Mason a smile.

The minister then asked for the rings and blessed them. He handed a ring to Mason and told him to put it on Charlie's finger and to repeat after him. Once Mason had the ring on Charlie's finger he said, "This ring is my sacred gift to you."

"This ring is my sacred gift to you," said Mason.

"A symbol of my love, a sign from this day forward."

"My love will surround you."

Mason couldn't hold back anymore as tears filled his eyes and he said, "My love will surround you."

"With this ring I thee wed."

"With this ring I thee wed," he said choking on his words. He let go of the ring as the minister handed Charlie a ring to place on Mason's finger.

He told her to repeat after him, "This ring is my sacred gift to you."

Charlie was so nervous her hand was shaking as she said, "This ring is my sacred gift to you."

"A symbol of my love, a sign from this day forward."

"My love will surround you."

"With this ring I thee wed."

"With this ring I thee wed," said Charlie as tears ran down her cheek.

The minister then said a prayer over the two before naming them husband and wife in the ordinance of God. "May the peace and unconditional love of God surround you and remain with you forever more amen. By the powers invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," he said. Mason looked at Charlie with a smile as she smiled back at him and they shared a very passionate kiss. As they finished their kiss the minister told them to face the guests and said, "allow me to present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan." As they walked down the aisle the guests stood to watch them. They were finally married and couldn't be happier and they were headed for the reception hall for the reception.

As they were walking out of the church down the stairs white stuff began to fall from the sky. Charlie realized it wasn't snow considering it was 60 degrees that night. There was no way there was snow falling but the white stuff was cold as it fell. "Is that snow?" she asked.

"If that's what you want it to be," said Mason with a smile. "Merry Christmas."

"You did this?" she asked as she watched it fall to the ground.

"Yes I did," he said, "I know how we were talking about the wedding and you said everything would be perfect if it could snow just once in Mississippi for the wedding. I wanted it to be perfect for you."

"I love it, Baby," she said with a smile as she kissed his lips as the snow fell around them. "It is perfect."

"I am glad to hear it," he said as they took hands and walked to the limo waiting for them to take them to the reception. Mason had gone all out for Charlie to make their wedding night perfect. It couldn't have gotten any better so she thought.

They arrived at their reception which was decorated just as beautifully as the church. The tables were decorated with red or white table clothes and there were pointsettas in the middle of the table. There were plates in each place along with name tags and the silverware was wrapped together in a white or red cloth napkin tied with a red or white ribbon. They found their seats and once every had arrived they had their catered meal of chicken, vegetables, and bowls of fruit. There were glasses of champagne at the tables but Charlie had sparkling cider because of the babies. It was amazing to her how her pregnancy had gone unnoticed by everyone but her mom. There were a few toasts and a lot of congratulations before they went out on the floor for their first dance.

They went out to the dance floor and began to share their first dance to "A Moment like this" By Kelly Clarkson. As they danced Mason and Charlie talked. "So what happened with the dress?"

"It was too small. I couldn't breathe. There was no way I would have made it to the wedding and my boobs were pouring out of it."

"Hmmm.. That may not be such a bad thing," he said with a smile.

"Shut up," said Charlie with a smile. "My mama knows."

"That you're pregnant?"

"She suspects and she asked but I lied. I can't hide it forever."

"I know," he said, "want to tell them tonight?"

"Only if you want to," she said, "I just want it out in the open because I can't hide it anymore Mason. Look at me.. I'm showing."

"All right," he said, "we will tell them and then I have a gift for you."

"Okay," she said as she rested her head on his chest as they continued dancing.

After they spent some time dancing they had their cake which was beautifully decorated. It was a red velvet cake with three layers with white vanilla flavored icing. There were red flowers going around the cake with a bride and groom topper on the very top of the cake. Charlie and Mason ended up shoving the cake in each other's faces other than feeding it to the other person but it was all fun for them. Once they were done with the cake Mason stood up and said, "Charlie and I have an announcement."

"What is it?" asked Viktoryia.

"Well, mom, you see, Charlie and me are having a baby."

"What?" asked Viktoryia.

"I knew it!" said Elaine, "I knew it."

"Are you two serious? A baby?" asked Viktoryia.

"Babies," said Charlie with a smile. "I'm having twins."

"Oh my gosh," said Elaine with a smile as she got up to hug Charlie and congratulate her.

"Twins!" said Viktoryia as she stood up. "How far along is she?"

"3 months," said Charlie.

"And you just now told us about it?" she asked.

"We weren't ready to tell people yet. We wanted to wait to make sure the babies were all right and we didn't want to cause problems before the wedding."

"Well, I am very happy for you," said Alistair. "Congratulations," he said shaking Mason's hand.

"I'm going to be a big sister?" asked Laney.

"Yes," said Charlie with a smile.

Laney jumped up from the chair she was sitting on, ran over to her mom and wrapped her arms around her. "I'm going to be a big sister. I knew it. I asked Santa Claus for a baby sister and he's giving me twins! I'm so excited, Mama."

Laney was very excited about being a big sister and most of the guests were happy for them. The only people that seemed to be unhappy were Viktoryia and Mason's grandmother. It didn't matter to Charlie though because she was happy and that was all that mattered to her. Once everyone calmed down from all the excitement of the babies Mason stood up to make another announcement this one mainly for Charlie.

"Well," said Mason, "I think my wife needs to know where we are going for our honeymoon. Our two week honeymoon."

"Where?" asked Charlie. It was all news to her because they hadn't discussed a honeymoon but apparently Mason had a trick up his sleeve.

"Well," said Mason, "I'll give you some hints. There are two places. Hint number 1: The Parthenon. 2. Zeus and 3. Olympics."

"Greece?" asked Charlie.

"Greece," he said with a smile.

"Oh my gosh! I have always wanted to go to Greece. That's my second on my list. What about the other place?"

"Hint 1: Pasta. 2. Grape vineyards and 3. Winery."

"Italy," said Charlie with a smile. "We're going to Greece and Italy."

"Yes," he said with a smile. "I hope you're ready."

"You have no idea," said Charlie with a smile.

Shortly after they went back out on the dance floor to dance. Charlie couldn't stop thinking about how happy she was. She was getting everything she ever wanted. She was married to the man she loved, she was having two babies and she was going to Greece and Italy for her honeymoon. Her life had become absolutely amazing. Even more so than before. All in all she had a great wedding day. It couldn't have been anymore perfect even if it started off a little rough it became the best day of Charlie's life minus the day Laney was born that was. She felt incredibly lucky for the life she was about to enter into.
