Chapter 11-The Wedding Date

Dana was released from the hospital and went home. "Thanks for driving me back home on your day off, Lu. I didn't want to have get out of work and come all the way here to pick me up." Dana said getting out of Lu's car. "No problem, Dana. Lets just get you inside." Lu walked around to the trunk and got Dana's briefcase out for her. They walked up to the doorstep and Dana thanked Lu once more and invited her in. Annie and Louise were staying with Nicole and she and Lu could just chat and hang out. After all, they were on vacation. Lu just giggled and nodded her head. They walked into Dana's living and to Dana's surprise all of her friends jumped out from behind pieces of furniture.

"WELCOME BACK!!!!!!" They all yelled. "Surprise, mommy!" Annie came running up to her mom. "Oh my Gosh!" Dana looked around while picking up Annie. "Hello sweetie." Nick came up behind her and kissed her shoulder. Dana smiled and kissed him back. Dana went and greeted everyone with a hug and kiss. "Wow, who set this up?" She asked Lu. "Nick did. He thought you would like it." "Yeah, I do like it."

The welcome back party lasted to a little after nine because every one had worked the next morning. After everyone left, Nick and Dana stayed awake to clean up the mess from the party. Annie and Louise had gone to sleep over Nicole's house at around 6:30.

"So, did you like your party, Dana?" "Yes, I did Nick." They finished cleaning, and exhausted they fell onto the couch. Nick took Dana's hand in his and pulled her closer to him. Dana cuddled up against him and let he kissed the top of her red-haired head. "How about September 21st?" Dana asked, taking a big yawn afterward. "For what?" "For our wedding silly." She said nudging him in the stomach playfully. "I love you, Dana. I would marry you any day." Dana turned around and gave him a passionate kiss. "I love you too, Nick. More than you could ever know." She quickly snuggled up in his arms again. She loved how she felt so protected and loved in Nick's arms.

Nick looked at his now sleeping, soon-to-be wife. He thought she looked so beautiful. He kissed her head and fell asleep.

Dana opened her eye to check if Nick had already fallen asleep. She noticed he had, so she carefully got out of his arms and went to her room. She opened the drawer on the nightstand next to her bed and pulled out her diary. She opened it up and started writing.

Dear Diary,

I'm back home and loving it. Everyone throw me a surprise welcome-back party. It was so much fun. Lu told me it was all Nick's idea. God I am the luckiest woman in the world to have a man like Nick. I love him so much. We decided our wedding would be on September 21st. I am hoping to go buy my dress next week. Lana offered to go help me pick it out when I needed it. I know who all of my bridesmaids are going to be. Lana, Nicole, and Natalie, my sister in New York. My maid of honor is going to be Lu. She has been so good to my family and me. What would I do with out her? Of course Annie and Louise have to participate. They'll be my flower girls. And I'll ask Lu if Marc can be the ring boy. I know my parents will fly in from Virginia. Though I wonder, who is Nick going to pick to be his best man?

I'll write tomorrow!

Yours Truly, Dana Stowe/ (Biancavilla)

Dana put down the diary and walked back into the living room and laid down next to her sleeping Nick. She kissed his cheek lightly so as not to wake him and fell asleep.
