Chapter forty-eight

Lauren got back to the house to see everyone was ready but still panicking.

She rolled her eyes at them and walked straight over to Macy in her play pen.

"Come on sweetie let's get you dressed" Lauren cooed, picking Macy up.

Lauren took Macy into her bedroom and sat her down on the bed with her.

"Daddy?" Macy asked. "We're going to see daddy very soon baby" Lauren said, smiling.

Macy smiled up at Lauren. "Very Very soon" Lauren sighed in nervousness.

"iyac" Macy frowned. "Isaac?" Lauren laughed.

"He's with daddy darling" Lauren said. "Marry daddy?" Macy asked Lauren.

"Oh has daddy been talking to you?" Lauren. "Daddy love mummy" Macy said, picking up her teddy rabbit.

"Yeah he does" Lauren said, smiling to herself.

Lauren thought about what Macy had said and she figured that joey had obviously been having his own little conversations with her.

"Mummy? Daddy secret" Macy said, bringing Lauren out of her thoughts.

"Sorry darling, what did you say?" Lauren asked. "Daddy secret" Macy said.

Lauren furrowed her eyebrows together and thought the worst of what she'd just heard.

"What secret?" Lauren asked. Macy didn't answer, just looked at Lauren confused.

"Macy, show me daddy's secret" Lauren said in hope she'd understand.

Macy crawled up the bed and pulled on the draw. "There" she smiled.

Lauren opened the door and saw a Tiffany box.

"For mummy" Macy giggled. Lauren opened the box to see two matching diamond white silver bracelets, and one stone was black.

Lauren pulled the note off the kid of the box and began to unfold it.

Lauren, if my little girl has come through like I've been teaching her, then you will be reading this note on our wedding day.
There is one bracelet for you and one for Macy, one for my wife to be and one for my little flower girl.
See you very soon, don't be nervous because I can promise you now I'm ten times worse.
I love you more than life itself, see you soon darling. Xxx

Lauren smiled then took both bracelets out of the box.

"You are a very clever little girl Macy" Lauren smiled. Macy laughed at Lauren.

Lauren fixed Macy's bracelet, then she fixed her own.

Lauren paced the length of the room that was placed in the back of the church.

She was very nervous and had been told joey hadn't arrive yet, the wedding was supposed to take place fifteen minutes ago.

"Wow you look stunning darling" max said entering the room.

"Where is he, why isn't he here yet?" Lauren asked.

Max rubbed his hands over his face, "there was a bit of a situation" max said.

Lauren paled as she heard those words. "What kind of situation?" She angrily growled.

"Will you calm yourself down?" Max snapped. "Sorry" he then said feeling guilty.

"Isaac was sick on joeys jacket as we came out" max said.

"What?" Lauren sighed in confusion but mostly relief.

"He's just in the car cleaning it" max said. "Well somebody could've told me that instead of saying oh he's not here yet!" She snapped.

"Joeys in there waiting now" Adam said, popping his head around the door.

"You see?" Max smirked. Lauren nodded at him and weakly smiled. "What's up now?" Max asked.

"I'm too nervous I don't think I can go out there in front of them all, there all gonna be watching and judging" Lauren said.

"Babe they are all here because they love you and joey, not because they want to judge you" max said.

"Yeah yeah your right" Lauren nervously laughed. Max surprised Lauren and pulled her in for a hug.

"Keep calm all that matters is you and joey, your going to become a proper family" he said rubbing her back

"Thank you... Dad" Lauren said. Max pulled away and smiled at Lauren, then kissing her forehead.

"Go do it babe" max told her. Lauren hooked her hand through Max's arm and they walked to the open doors.

The music started and Lauren looked straight ahead, she watched as joey turned around in his tuxedo, Isaac attached to his hip.

Joey rubbed his hand over his forehead and then smiled at Lauren.

Lauren could see joey was a bit nervous and it relieved her a bit to be honest.

Lauren tried to ignore everyone's eye on her, joey passed Isaac to Tanya and then made eye contact with Lauren, smiling as he did so.

As soon as Lauren and joey made eye contact, all the nerves disappeared.

Lauren reached joey and max kissed Lauren on the cheek, letting go of her.

Joey reached for Lauren's hand and entwined their fingers. "You look beautiful babe" he told her, kissing her cheek.

"Thank you, so do you" she smiled. The whole thing was a but of a blur for Lauren, she was excited nervous and scared all at the same time.

All she can remember is becoming joeys wife and sharing their first married kiss.

They both walked out of church, their guests clapping their hands and cheering for them, and Macy made an excellent flower girl.

"I love you" Lauren said kissing joeys lips. "I love you too Mrs Branning" joey smiled.
