It is officially the night before our wedding. We were finally getting married and I just smiled the entire night. I didn't leave Regina's side that whole night. I just loved her so much and I couldn't stop looking at her. She was picture perfect.
After the rehearsal dinner at granny's, Regina and I took a sleeping Brooklyn back to the house. I went changed into a pair of plaid Pj pants and waited downstairs while she went put her in her crib. She came back down and I was sitting against the arm of the sofa. She comes downstairs in the button up shirt I just took off. She had it unbuttoned until the middle of her chest making it very clear she didn't have a bra on. She also had the bottom few buttons unbuttoned revealing the sexy black lace panties she had on. She knows it drives me crazy.
"Well, hello sexy." I say reaching for her hand.
"Hey." She says grabbing my hand.
I pull her into my lap. She smiles and I wrap my arms around her waist. She leans back against my chest and buries her head in my neck. I knew she was tired. She always does that when she is tired. She intertwined our fingers and relaxed. I kissed her forehead and rested my cheek on her head.
"We're getting married tomorrow." She says.
"I know beautiful. I couldn't be more excited." I say smiling.
"Me either." She says looking up at me.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"Yeah. I was just thinking." She says smiling.
"What were you thinking about?" I ask.
She gets up off the sofa and turns around to face me. She sits on my thighs straddling me with her legs on either side of mine. "A lot." She says.
"Are you getting cold feet?" I ask concerned.
"Oh Robin no." She says kissing me sweetly.
I kiss her back and smile at her. "You don't have to tell me." I say moving a piece of hair out if her face.
"No it's not that." She says putting her hair in a ponytail. "I just keep thinking about my daddy." She says tearing up a little. Within seconds her head fell in her hands.
"Oh babe. Come here." I say pulling her close. I hold her close for a few minutes then she pulled away.
"I wanted him to be there when I got married. To walk me down the aisle to someone I actually loved." She says. "How did you know?" She asks wiping her eyes.
"I know, babe. I wish I could do something about it." I say sadly. "How did I know what?" I ask wiping her cheeks. She didn't acknowledge what I said first. I guess she didn't want to cry to much.
"You asked me if I was okay, how did you know?" She asks grabbing my hands.
"Because I saw it all over your face. Plus when you came downstairs I called you sexy and you didn't answer how you normally would." I say shrugging.
"Did I really give it away with my face?" She asks wiping her eyes again.
"No one else would have noticed, but I'm about to marry you. We have been together for what over three years, I can read you like a book." I say rubbing her cheek with my thumb.
"I just wish he was here." She says sadly.
"I know you do. But I guarantee he knows that your a hero and is so proud of you." I say lifting her chin.
She sighs. "You know sometimes I hate you." She says.
"Why?" I ask sadly.
"Because you're too perfect." She says hugging me.
"No, but I do not like to see you sad of upset and I'm going to be your husband in less than 24 hours. It's my job to make you happy." I say smiling.
"I love you." She says sitting up.
"I love you too." I say kissing her sweetly.
"I know we aren't supposed to sleep in the same bed the night before the wedding, but can you stay here till I fall asleep?" She asks.
"Absolutely." I say smiling. "Wanna go upstairs?"
"Yeah." She says standing.
She grabs my hand and pulls me up and I follow her up the stairs. We both lay down in bed. She lays on her back and I lay on my side.
"So, I was thinking. I need to give you a cute name." I say smiling.
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"Well, I call you babe all the time, but we are about to be married. I think I need a more proper one." I say smiling.
"What did you have in mind?" She asks.
"I don't know. You tell me your favorites." I say caressing her cheek.
"I like when you call me 'my love' and 'babe' and I think sweetheart is really cute." She says. "What about your favorites?"
"Hmmm I like sexy, gorgeous, beautiful, doodle bug, my love, lady bug, and lovey." I say.
"Ummm I'm not a bug so no to doodle bug and lady bug." She says laughing.
"What about snuggle bunny." I say squeezing her tight.
"I like it but that just seems like a name you would only call me in bed." She says smiling.
"Okay what about cutie-pie because your cute and sweet." I say smiling.
"Robin, our daughter is a cutie-pie." She says laughing.
"Cupcake because your sweet and yummy." I say smirking.
She laughs. "No."
"But your so yummy." I say leaning down and kissing her neck.
She laughs and pushes me away. "I may be yummy, but you are the only person that ever needs to know that."
"Okay then. Sweetheart it is." I say smiling.
"Ehhh now I don't like that one." She says.
"Okay beautiful. Let me know when you decide." I say smile.
"I like that one." She says smiling.
"Of course you do." I say smiling. "So, I'll just stick with my original ones."
"Good idea." She says smiling. "Tomorrow I get to call you my hubby."
"Yes and you will be my wifey." I say smiling. "No wait that sounds weird. Hubby is cute. Why does wifey sound weird."
She laughs. "I don't know, but I am perfectly fine with 'babe.'" She says happily.
"Then babe it is." I say kissing her sweetly.
"What time is it?" She asks.
"About 9:45." I say.
"Okay well, I'm very tired. I have a really big day tomorrow and you shouldn't be here. So, as soon as I fall asleep." She says smiling and I cut her off.
"I will kiss you goodnight for the last time before I marry you and go sleep at Granny's. By myself." I say sadly.
"I'm sorry, but your not supposed to see me the night before the wedding." She says.
"I know. I know." I say chuckling.
"Just think. This is the last time you will sleep alone and be a single man." She says turning on her side.
"I can't wait to wake up to your beautiful face every morning. Seeing your smile in the morning is my favorite part of the day." I say happily.
"Waking up to those gorgeous blue eyes is definitely something I will enjoy for the rest of my life." She says closing her eyes.
"Go to sleep, love." I say rubbing her back.
"Goodnight, babe." She says softly.
"Goodnight, love." I say softly.
About five minutes later, she was asleep. I gently get off the bed. I pull the covers over her and kiss her forehead. I walk out the door and look back one last time then close the door behind me.
