I smiled happily hanging up the phone the wedding was in a week, I couldn't believe it pauls divorce had been finale for a month now, I smiled at my cooing six month old daughter. I stood up and picked her up "Hello princess" I smiled kissing her cheek.
I put her in her bouncer and laughed at her jumping she was getting so big and is such a happy baby, she had a head full of light blonde hair and big blue eyes, and is the biggest daddy's girl.
I looked out the door and smiled speaking of which I seen Paul pulling in after picking gunner up from school, he just got in from being gone for two months, he has the next month and a half off for the wedding, I was amazed Stephanie was flying out with the girls next Monday so they can be part of the wedding, I guess shes dating Chris Jericho so shes hasn't been fighting with Paul as much.
I walked out hugging gunner, as I stood up I came face to chest with Paul, I smiled feeling him wrap his arms around me "Hi" I said smiling holding him back.
"Mm I missed you" he kissed my forehead and we headed inside.
I smiled seeing him pick Riley up "Daddy missed you" he said kissing her I flopped down on the couch looking exhausted "I am so glad for this time off, Vince has me all over the place sighing house shows live shows appearances, I am so happy to be home" he said pulling me to sit next to him. I smiled.
"Glad to hear that, are you still okay with them while I go to my final fitting?" I asked him, he nodded his head "Yea I'm good I think your dad is coming by too" he said, I nodded standing up "Bye baby's mama be back love you" I kissed my daughter and soon to be husband, hugging gunner I took off.
"your so beautiful" becca said as I stood in my dress I smiled it was strapless and laced all the way down the back flowed down perfectly to the ground the ties was a light green to match the our colors, I rolled my eyes at that but couldn't help but smile.
"I don't think I have ever seen you this happy well except for the kids births" becca said , I looked at her and shrugged.
"I don't know becca, I just feel at peace for the first time in my life I feel as if all is OK" I told her I walked into the dressing room and changed, thanking the lady letting her know I would be here in a couple of days to pick it up.
Becca hung up her phone "Uh that was your dad he and Paul are BBQING so I guess ill be picking the kids up from dance and soccer and be at your house" she said, I smiled nodding my head getting in the truck and heading home.
I squinted my eyes seeing a rental parked in the drive way no one was due in until Tuesday, I UN fastened my seat belt and walked into the house, there stood my mother talking and laughing sitting right next to Paul, I shut the door making everyone look at me, Paul jumped up walking over to me "Hey baby I tried to call you" he said kissing me "Yea my phone died right before I got to the shop" I told him, he put his hands on my hips I smiled remembering him doing the exact same thing so many years ago.
"what are you doing here?" I asked her in a sullen voice sitting down.
"Well Your pops informed me you were getting married, I know I was invited but I wanted to come and tell you in person how happy I am for you" she said with a smile plastered on her face, I just nodded.
"Phone calls work, or better yet letters do to its a lost trait" I said I shook my head and walked to my room, I sighed sitting down on the bed Paul came in "you OK?" he asked I shook my head.
"No as a parent I'm even more angry with her and she doesn get it Paul! Do you know how easy it would've been to let my dad and becca take Gunner and just drink all my pain away but I didn't I don't know it dumb" I said shaking my head.
"Baby how you feel isn't dumb your right you been through a lot and you never used to it to go get drunk or high you've always been a mom and that counts, and when gunners older and looks back he'll be able to say that, you'll be invited to his wedding, you want me to go kick her out?" Paul asked I laughed shaking my head no.
"Thank you" I told him he nodded kissing me "I love you" I told him standing up I walked out to the living room where she still sat on the couch I sighed looking at Paul "Can you guys go get what you need for dinner" I asked him he nodded grabbing gunner and my dad all leaving.
"you thirsty?" I asked her she nodded her head yes I went and got her a glass of ice tea "you got a nice place here, im real proud of you jersey" she said following me into the kitchen I nodded.
"What do you want?" I asked her handing her her glass "I mean you never cared before so why now?" I asked her she sighed.
"I'm sober and I realize the person I have hurt the most over the years is you, your a lot better off then you have any right to be, I think your pops every day for taking you like he did, I envy you, you have everything I wanted, a carrier, a lovely home, marrying the man you love, two beautiful children" she said I nodded.
"Yea well I worked my ass off to get these things I coudl've easily given gunner to my dad and become a drunk because I was broken hearted over Paul physically it hurt but I didn't I womened up and took care of my responsibility, I deserve to be happy mom please just let me move on from all the sad in my life and just go" I begged her, she nodded walking over to me.
"I'll go I love you" she said and walked out the door, I let go the breath I was holding in. I didn't have time to even think of what I just did as Riley started crying from her room, I got up and went and got her smiling.
