Chapter 23- Preparations

Jordan's POV

"I have 4 days Lily, four days, I'm getting married in four days, now we have got to get this figured out." I practically yelled at her, I didn't mean to, it's stress combined with hormones, combined with no sleep thanks to my darling children.

"Jordan calm down, everything is almost set, well, except the dress and the place and his ring and the flowers, and the cakes, okay so I guess we do have a lot to do. Look tell me what you want and I'll get the flowers, Renee can get the cake, can't you."

"No problem, any preferences?"

"I don't even know what kind of cake he likes, what's wrong with me?"

"Jordan, it's okay, breathe, if you freak out so will they," Renee said pointing at the finally sleeping babies. I calmed right down, the last thing I wanted to do was to wake them up, it took so long to get them to sleep.

"Okay I like chocolate and everybody likes yellow, so... marble?"

"Great, tiered or separated?"

"What's easier?"

"Probably separated." I nodded, now to the flowers

"Lily, I want simple, maybe just a few pink roses and find something blue too." now for the dress. "Okay I want something simple, I just want to keep this simple. Let's go." Lily and Renee grabbed the babies and we headed out to the car, the put them in and we headed to the closest dress shop and headed in. Oh please let me find it quick, I have no time, quick would be goo, plus I just know these two are going to wake up and be hungry sooner rather than later. I walked to the dressing room with an armful of dresses. I put one on then threw it off, none of these were going to work. "Someone had me another one."

"We haven't even seen the ones you've already got."

"I don't care, they are going to wake up soon, so just hand me another dress unless you want to feed them," The door opened and they handed me about 5 more dresses. Put one on, throw one off. Wait put that one back on. It was simple. Long chiffon over satin, a little train, but not too long, long sleeves of the same sheer chiffon, little bit of an ivory color, fitted around the chest, a little A-line, which was good, because I had yet to get rid of my tummy, it hided it well. "I think I found it." I yelled through the door.

"So come out and let us see it." I opened the door slowly and walked out, both their jaws dropped, yep I was right, this was the one.

"Jordan, you look beautiful. That's it, it's perfect."

"No argument here," was Lily's reply. Things were starting to come together. As for the place, I already had one in mind. I knew Woody wanted it to be in a church eve though he wasn't saying anything. He had such great faith in God and after what I had been through with the twins, how could I not at least have a little.

"I think I want to have the wedding at St. Inez."

"Jordan, do you really want to get married in a church?"

"It's for Woody, I know he wants it and with the miracles we've been given, I guess I have to believe there is a greater power out there somewhere. Plus, I think it will thrill Dad as well."

"Okay, lets get it setup. I give them a call, four days right?"

"Yep. I'm really gonna do this." just them Em woke up quickly followed by her brother, "okay, okay, we are going to do this, I went to pick up Em.

"Jordan, wait, you might want to take that off." Renee said pointing at my dress.

"Oh, ya thanks, can you grab Em and see if you can keep her calm till I get back, Jack is usually more patient." I walked into the dressing room and slipped the dress off. I was really going to marry Woody, and I'm happy about it, for the first time in a long time I was actually relaxed and happy about this whole thing. It was going to be okay, then I heard Em scream and remembered that they were hungry, I quickly got dressed and headed to the cashier with the dress, she rang me up and then I traded Renee the dress for Em, I grabbed Jack's car set and headed back to the dressing room, go them taken care of and we headed back home. When we got there Renee left to order the cake and Lily to do the same with the flowers, the kids were asleep again and I headed straight to bed, I was exhausted.

Woody' POV

I got home, Jordan was in bed and the twins were in the crib, fussing just a little, I checked their diapers and discovered they needed changing. I changed them and they went back to sleep. I headed to our room and stripped off my suit and climbed in next to Jordan and wrapped my arm around her waist, she instinctively cuddled up next to me. I fell asleep.

A few hours later still Woody's POV.

"What are you doing?" I managed to squeak out softly. Jordan was turned so she was facing me, I could feel her body and it was even closer than before and she was nibbling on my ear. It sent chills up my spine. "Jordan, I love you, but you know you can't do this."

"Mmhmm." She just reached for my mouth and started probing it with the tongue, I could help, but kiss her back.

"Be nice."

"Why, I thought you liked it when I played rough."

"I do, but right now you can't and that is not fair to either of us."

"Fine, but can you at least kiss me back, I am going to be your wife in a few days. I think that is the least you could do, considering we are getting married in a church."

"What" I shot out of bed like a bullet had just whizzed by my head. "You what? Jordan I can't believe you would do that, you hate churches."

"Not so much anymore, those two in the other room and me being here are a miracle if I ever saw one, so maybe God does care about us I owe it to him to at least try and have some faith, besides, I know how important it is too you and you are important to me." I kissed her, good and hard, I didn't think I could ask for anything more from her, but she gave it anyways.

"Jordan, I love you more than you will ever be able to comprehend, you are my life."

"Good, cause you are mine, for now this is a four person project and whoever else comes along, they are more than welcome too." I hugged her and she held me, softly stroking her hands up my back. "We are going to be okay, right?"

"Ya we are, all of us."

"Good." she rested her head on my chest with her arm resting on my stomach, I had my arm around her back and held her as close to me as I could and we both drifted off into a deep sleep.
