Chapter forty eight:
Scotty, Lilly and Ava were on their way to the airport, on their way to Vancouver. Chris was getting married tomorrow and they were heading over there for the wedding. "Thanks for the lift Mike" Scotty said as they pulled up at the curb.
"No problem" Mike replied "Do you think you'll need a lift home as well"
"I'll call you later to let you know"
Lilly lifted Ava out of the car seat and got out of the car "Come on Scotty, we are gonna be late"
Mike chuckled at Lilly's authoritarian tone and looked at his brother "Have a good time"
Scotty glared at his older brother, which only made him laugh harder.
Scotty slipped out of the car and retrieved the suitcases from the trunk "I am coming Lil" he replied and he waved goodbye to Mike and followed Lilly inside.
They made their way through the airport security and over to the gate lounge, waiting for their flight to Vancouver. Scotty wasn't looking forward to an eight hour plan ride with a three year old and had been expressing his frustration that Chris wasn't getting married right there in Philly all week. Lilly had simply reminded him that as it was Chris's wedding, she was free to get married where ever she like, however she wasn't looking forward to the next eight hours either.
Scotty had found them relatively cheap flights, with only one stop over in Chicago, he was just hoping Ava would spend the entire flight sleeping, but he wasn't optimistic. Lilly held Ava up so she could look out the window, watching the planes taking off and landing. "Big plane" Ava said, pointing at the plane that was taxiing up to the gate.
"Yeah, it is"
"We going on a plane" she announced happily, clapping her hands together. Lilly chuckled and kissed her daughters cheek. "Yes we are"
The flight hadn't been enjoyable; Ava got a little frightened by all the noise and cried for much of the flight. Scotty had tried to soothe her, walking up and down the aisle with her, whilst bouncing her in his arms. When they got to the hotel, Ava was exhausted and Scotty put her down for a nap. He came out to find Lilly sitting on the couch, her eyes closed. "Not looking forward to the flight back" Scotty said as he sat down beside her. Lilly smiled and opened her eyes "Maybe she won't be as bad on the way back" Scotty smirked
"I doubt it" he murmured and he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"I've gotta go pick up my dress in a little while"
Scotty smiled "I am looking forward to seeing you in that" he replied and Lilly rested her head against his chest "I bet you are" she added.
Scotty pressed a kiss to the top of Lilly's head and sighed contentedly "Maybe we should just rest here a moment"
"That does sound good" Lilly replied sleepily
Before they knew it, the pair had drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
Lilly bent down and pressed a kiss to Scotty's lips; he slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her. "I have to go help Chris get ready; I'll see you at the church?"
Scotty nodded and yawned "Okay baby"
"Ava's coming with me now, so you can get a little more sleep" Scotty nodded again and closed his eyes.
Lilly chuckled and pressed a kiss to his forehead, Ava came up beside the couch and Lilly lifted her daughter up so she too could say goodbye to Scotty.
"Bye bye Dada" Ava whispered
"Bye Princesa" he murmured as he closed his eyes again.
Lilly moved off towards the door, making sure not to make any noise so she didn't wake up Scotty.
Scotty took a seat next to Finn and Celeste at the front of the church, waiting for the ceremony to start. Lilly had sent him a picture on his cell of how cute Ava looked in her little dress and Scotty was looking forward to seeing it for himself. As if on cue, the doors opened and Scotty turned and looked down the aisle.
He saw Ava, in a little red dress walking down towards the alter, holding the hand of one of Jake's cousins, Scattering rose petals as she went (or more like throwing fistfuls in front of her, but still very cute) He grinned at her and she waved at him. When Ava reached the front of the aisle, Scotty lifted her into his lap "Did I do a good job Dada?" she asked him
"You sure did baby, now we can watch Mummy"
Scotty turned and saw his wife, walking down towards the alter, being escorted by Jake's brother, Simon. He was mesmerised at how amazingly beautiful she looked. She was wearing a floor length Crimson red satin dress. That dipped slightly, but tastefully in the front. Her hear was done up in a tight bun, leaving only a few wisps of hair to frame her face.
"Mama pretty" Ava said
"Yes she is"
Scotty watched Lilly stand up at the alter and she smiled at him, Ava waved enthusiastically at her mother and Lilly smiled at her. For the rest of the ceremony, Scotty found it difficult to tear his eyes away from his wife.
Scotty stood talking to Finn, waiting for Lilly and Ava to come back from their wedding party photos. He was in the middle of discussing the Phillies chances of winning the pennant this year when he heard her and Ava come back into the reception hall. "Excuse me" he said to Finn and he walked purposefully over to her. "Hey you" she said
"Hey yourself, you look absolutely beautiful Lil" he said and he brushed her cheek with his fingers, tenderly cupping it in his hand. He looked down as he felt Ava tugging on his pant leg "What 'bout me Dada? Do I look beautiful?"
Scotty chuckled and picked her up "Very beautiful sweetie, Daddy is very lucky to have two of the most beautiful girls in the whole world" He kissed Ava's cheek and leant in to kiss Lilly lightly on her lips.
"You clean up pretty good yourself Valens" Lilly replied and she returned his kiss.
"So, do my girls wanna dance?" he asked as the music began to play.
"Sure" Lilly replied
"Yay" Ava replied
An hour later and Lilly and Scotty were still dancing, and Ava was fast asleep in Paul's arms as he sat down at the table, watching his two daughters. Lilly looked over at Chris and Jake and sighed contentedly "They look really happy" Lilly whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling herself closer to him.
"Yeah, they do" Scotty agreed. He smiled down at her, running his hands up and down her back "You know, it is really nice here" He added
"Yeah, shame we have to go home tomorrow"
Scotty grinned micheviously and Lilly instantly knew that he was hiding something, he always got that look in his eyes when he was keeping something from her "Scotty" she began "What's going on?"
Scotty chuckled "I have a surprise for you" he said
"Oh yeah, what's that"
"How would you like to stay here a bit longer?" he asked her tugging her even closer to him.
"That would be nice but not practical, we have a three year old" Scotty chuckled again and Lilly slapped his chest "Scotty what are you up to?"
Scotty grinned broadly "I talked to your father, he agreed to take Ava back with them tomorrow. I then called Boss and managaged to get us a few more days off, changed our flight so we fly back on Friday." He leant down, until his lips were so close to hers she could feel his breath on her lips. "How would you feel about a second honeymoon?" Lilly kissed him deeply, and he smiled against her lips "I'll take that as a yes" he murmured.
Lilly broke the kiss after a few minutes and looked into his eyes lovingly "I love you so much Scotty"
"And you are the love of my life Lil" Scotty replied softly, before he pulled her into another kiss.
