DISCLAIMER: Meg Cabot owns all! But I own the plot and any unfamiler charecters.

Meggie- OMG! I so did not realize that I put Suze. I'll have to be more careful.

But everyone, lets pretend I didn't:-D. Gosh, I'm a failure at life...

Well, before I go all Emo on ya'll, here's chappy 9!I kinda flsh forwarded toabout March or April, when Jesse and Suze get they're wedding dress and tux. I might include the bridesmaid dresses too, but it depends on where my fingers go:-p. Who know's, Marcus might make his appearance.

Suze's POV

The cake and food has been ordered. The reservations have been made. The DJ has been selected. The flowers have been picked. That's all, right? HECK NO!

Of COURSE I gotta get a wedding dress. I'm was so excited when we all pulled up (all including Me, Jesse, Gina, CeeCee, my 7-month-pregnant Mom, Adam, and Jerry.) The building had two different stores, one for Tuxs, and another for wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Kinda cool, actually. We got to kill two birds with one stone.

"I still don't see why I can't go with you." Jesse said quietly, while we were standing outside of the shops. His hands were on my waist, pulling me closer towards him and gently kissing my forehead. His lips feltwonderful against my skin each and everytime he kissed me. He had been begging to come with me the entire drive there. Jesse really couldn't wait to see me in my dress.

"I know you want to see me in white, but you'll have to wait another 2 months." He then gave me the most adorable puppy dog face. I frankly didn't believe in the can't-see-the-bride-before-the-wedding-blah-blah-blah superstition (I mean, I've had good luck with everything else in my life so far. You know, the whole Jesse being alive thing was enough proof of my good luck), but everyone else believed in it.

I looked behind myself at Gina, CeeCee and Mom, who were standing at the door of the bridal shop. "Just look at that face, guys. How can you resist that face?" I said, pinching Jesse's, still pouting, cheeks in a motherly way.

CeeCee and Adam then proceded to seperate us. No, I'm serious. They pulled us apart. "You'll just have to wait, Jesse." She said, impatiently.

"You have a Tux to try on, anyway." Adam reminded him. I finally cought Jesse's eye while we were standing by the doors of the shops. I mouthed the words 'I love you' with a small smile. He returned it, giving mehis classicwink that always had me swooning.

We finally walked into the store, where I was blinded with white. "Holy crap." I muttered. "That's a hell-uv-a lot of dresses."

"And one of them is yours." My mom said standing beside me and wrapping an arm around me. "I still can't believe that your getting married, Susie. Do you have any idea how old that makes me feel?"

I couldn't help but smirk and glance down at her protruding belly.

"Oh! I just felt a kick!" She exclaimed, putting a hand on her stomach. "Susie, gimme your hand!" Without notice, she grabed my arm and put my hand in the same spot her hand was before. And then I felt my little brother or sister (mom and Andy wanted to wait to find out the sex of the baby.)

"Wow..." I said. It never really hit me until that moment. I was going to have a new sibling. One who was blood related. I looked up at my Mom, who was glowing, and not just from the pregnancy. She was so happy now, and had been ever since she met Andy.

Of course, Gina ruined the Mother-daughter moment. "Suze! Come here!" She shouted.We were, of course, the only ones there. I followed her voice to find her and CeeCee talking to the owner.

"Ah, you must be Susannah." She said, extending her hand, which I of course shook. "I'm Claire, it's a pleasure to meet you." Claire was in her 50's, just about; with greying hair and a classy pair of glasses at the bridge of her nose.

"It's great to meet you, too." I said.

"Well, why don't we get your measurements real quick and we can find you a dress." Claire said, leading me to over to the dressing rooms.

Jesse's POV

The tuxedo was a perfect fit. When I put the jacket on and looked in the mirror, a smile formed on my face. All I could think was I'm finally marrying her. The man who who was helping me earlier, George, was adjusting the hem on the pants slightly so I had to stand perfectly still.

"So, where are you guys going for the honeymoon?" Jerry asked me, looking at me through the reflection of the mirror.

"I just got reservations and plane tickets for Hawaii." I told him, feeling a little nervous about the plane ride. I still havn't ridden one, but considering I've only been alive for 5 years, it wasn't too bad.

"How long are you going to be gone?" I was afraid to tell him. Since he was my co-worker, I knew he would be mad if I informed him of the length of time I would be away, which was quite a long time.

"Erm... 16 days...?"

"Jesse! Your going to leave me with your kids for 16 days?"

"There great kids, Jer, honest! I swear I'll return the favor when you tie the knot." I told Jerry, almost pleading.

"If I ever get married..." He muttered.

"Hey. Don't worry, you'll find love. Your only 26. You have plenty of time." I reminded him. Jerry was quite a bacholer, but he wanted to settle down with a wife now.

Adam and one of the other workers walked in. "Hey, Jerry, we gotta try our Penguin Suits." Adam informed him. They both left, leaving me with George and my reflection. Just as he was about to move on to my next pant leg, my cell phone began to ring.

"I'll grab that for ya." He said, standing up. He then added with a chuckle "If you move, you'll be poked by a couple hundred needles." George finally handed me my cell phone, and I looked down at the name on the screen.

"Hello Querida. Shoulnd't you be trying on a wedding dress now?" I asked Susannah.

"How do you know I havn't tried it on already?"

Suze's POV

Oh, but I had tried it on. In fact, I was wearing it that very second. It was a beautiful gown too. The top was in the form of a beaded tank top which moved down into a silk, slightly puffy bottom with more beaded designs on the train. Most definatly my dream dress. CeeCee and Gina were trying on they're bridesmaids dresses, which were light pink dresses that I was sure would be flattering to they're figures, or else they would have killed me.

After I informed Jesse of they're location of that moment, he told me that Jerry and Adam were doing the same thing. Well, not trying on dresses, but tuxs, of course. "I want to come over there, and see that dress on you."

I was surprised. "How do you know I have it on? Is there a hole in the wall? Or something?"

"I can hear you twirling." He informed me with a chuckle.

"Oh." That was when my mother walked in with a veil to try on. "Hold on Jesse." I said as the veil was placed on my head. It was a simple one, in the form of a beaded hair clip. Claire then putthe veilin my face.

"Wow, Suze." I heard Gina say coming out of the dressing room, in her dress. She looked pretty good in it, actually..

"Wow what?" CeeCee asked from inside the room next to her.

"She's wearing the veil." My mom informed her.

"How do you look, Querida?" I heard Jesse ask over the phone.

"Eh... I look ok..." I said into the reciever. Hell, I looked pretty darn good. "I gotta go. Love ya!"

"Love you too..." He sounded dissapointed, but I hung up anyways. He'd see me in it in a couple months, anyway.

CeeCee then walked out in her dress. "Suze, you look incredible!" She told me.

"Really, you do. Man, Jesse's gonna want to jump you on the spot." Gina informed me, causing my mom's eyebrows to shoot way up.

"You guys look great too. See? I told you I'd find good dresses."

"Yeah, but you know pink isn't my color." Gina informed me. How could I forget? Almost every article of clothing she owned was black.

"It would look kind of wierd if the bridesmaids dresses black in a pink, red, and white colored wedding, Gi-" I was interupted by a scream, followed by a gunshot, in the main part of the store. Needless to say, that sort of distracted us from our little argument.

"Oh my God... It's a robbery." CeeCee whispered, after of course, we instinctivly screamed. Our screams, were drowned out by the gunshot, hopefully.

But I knew it wasn't a robbery. It was Marcus. It had to be. I grabbed my phone quickly and forced everyone into the back room, locking the door. Texting Jesse the quick message reading "Marcus", I whispered to everyone. "I swear, I will explain all of this after words."

That's when there was a large thud onthe door infront of us. Mom's hand went straight to her stomache, in fear for her child's life. Gina and CeeCee's face's were ghost white with terror, almost to the point of tears in CeeCee's case. As for me, well, I'm used to it really. Plus, I knew he was going to show up sometime. "Open the door, Ms. Simon. Lets just make this short and sw-" The psychopath's speech was cut off by a punch, followed by, what sounded, like Jesse being a hero and giving him a well deserved beating.

"Adam, call the police." I heard him say. After what seemed like forever, I heard a knock on the door. "He's unconcious." Jesse announced. Immediatly, I opened the door.

And there he was, lying on the floor after a well deserved ass-kicking. I ran into Jesse's protectivearms, burying my face into his shoulder. Being in his embrace, I finally knew it was over. A sense of warmth filled me as he whisperedsoothing Spanishwordsin my hair, the only one I knew being Querida. I finally looked up into his eyes. Though I had to blink a few times to see clearly, considering water was filling my eyes.

Jesse didn't have one scratch on him. I knew that wack job couldn't put up a fight.Not against my Jesse. Nope. Oh crap. "Oh my God, Claire!"

"Jerry's taking care of her, don't worry. The ambulance will be here soon." I let out a relieved sigh.

"Crap, Suze. Your dress." CeeCee said.

"Um... that happens to be the least of my worries, Cee." I informed her. But still, I wanted Jesse to wait to see me in my dress. That is what led me to kick the unconcious man in the crotch. It wasall his damn fault. I then realized how sexy he looked in a Tux.

"You look incredible, Querida." He informed me before giving me a quick kiss. Well, it was quick because the damn police had to interupt. Really, can't an investigation wait?

That was pretty long:-p. We shall continute with the Police crap later, but I'm having a seriouswriting burnout about now.

So, I'm expecting alot of reviews since I wrote alot...:-D
