Chapter Six
Brenda couldn't help but smile, tired as she was she couldn't help but be jubilant, okay beyond jubilant, euphoric was definitely a better term. Everything was just perfect, after years of agony, years of being alone and scared, everything was suddenly wonderful. She didn't know how is was possible and she didn't care, all she knew was today after years of waiting she was going to become Mrs. Michael Corinthos and she couldn't even begin to describe how amazing that felt. She'd just slipped into his shirt that she'd nearly ripped off of him last night in her frantic need to touch him, to be one with him again, when there was a knock at the door and the tiny voice called out "Brenda?"
"Robin" Brenda said screaming and running to the door, she flung it open and embraced her best friend.
"Oh god Brenda" Robin said muffling her tears against Sonny's shirt.
"Oh god let me see you" Brenda said pushing Robin off of her, she raised her face to meet her best friend's gaze. "Why are you crying lil' sis? You're supposed to be happy, today's my wedding day."
"I am, it's just…" her voice trails off and Brenda pulls her close again
"I know honey, I know. It's okay now, everything's finally okay."
Robin just continued to cry as Brenda soothed her, then finally she stopped and sniffled away her tears. "Look at me, crying my eyes out on what's supposed to be the happiest day of your life."
"Aww, it's okay kiddo, nothing's gonna stop this from being the happiest day of my life. Look I'm gonna go shower, can you go see about getting us some breakfast. Sonny said they were sending it up, but it's not here yet and I'm starving."
Robin nods and smiles "Okay, I'll be right back"
"Okay" Brenda says letting her hands drop to her side
She watches Robin leave the room, then Robin turns as she is leaving "Don't worry Robin I promise I won't disappear in the two minutes you're gone."
Robin smiled and said "I'm gonna hold you to that Bren" and left the room.
Brenda walks out into the bedroom about twenty minutes after leaving to shower, she's toweling her hair and speaking. "So what did they send up for breakfast Rob?"
"They sent up all of your favorites my dear, but Robin went to go talk to Sonny, she said she'll back soon."
"Oh my god Lila" Brenda says lowering the towel and running to her to hug her.
"Hello to you too, my dear." Lila says as she hugs Brenda back. Brenda doesn't say anything, then Lila, hears her slight crying. "Are you crying my dear?" Brenda nods, still not letting go of Lila, everything just finally caught up to her. "Don't cry Brenda, everything will be fine now, I promise you that dear, the rest of your life will be amazing. It will be beyond amazing, Sonny loves you Brenda and will never let anything hurt you again."
"I know" she says lifting her head up. "It's just that, oh god Lila, everything's just so amazing. I'm so afraid that I'm gonna wake up and I'll be in that room again and this will have only been a dream."
"This isn't a dream Brenda, it's reality and it's more amazing than any dream isn't it?"
Brenda nodded
"Come on my dear, eat up, I don't want you to faint walking down the aisle."
"I'm getting married Lila, I'm finally getting married."
"You've waited for this day a long time my dear, enjoy it."
"I will and I will treasure it always. Mrs. Sonny or actually I guess it would be Mrs. Michael Corinthos. Doesn't that sound amazing? Brenda Corinthos."
"Nothing's ever sounded so beautiful."
