Wasn't that a beautiful wedding? I had a lot of fun writing that chapter and this chapter as well. I also typed the first chapter for 'BTP 3' last night and a chapter for another new story of mine called 'Uninvited'. 'Uninvited' is going to be a very different story, but it is going to be a Lost story. But let's get back to this story for right now. Hope you all will enjoy the reception!
Chapter Eleven
"So, are you happy?" Claire asked as Aaron played with her hands. Charlie looked over at her. They were seated at their table at the reception.
"Of course I'm happy, aren't you?" Charlie asked smiling. Claire kissed him.
"I've never been this happy before in my whole life," Claire replied. Charlie smiled.
"Good, are you happy Aaron," Charlie asked tickling him. Aaron laughed and climbed onto Charlie's lap. Charlie embraced him in a big hug. "I think it's about time as our first dance as husband and wife." Claire smiled and her and Charlie stood. They gave Aaron to Kate and Charlie and Claire made their way over to the dance floor.
Charlie pulled Claire into his arms and they started dancing. "Did I tell you that you look beautiful today?"
"No, but thank you," Claire replied. "You look handsome." Charlie smiled.
"Well, I try," he said. Claire giggled. "But I'm not as good looking as you. I just want you to have your way with me right now."
"Save it for tonight," Claire replied. "Jack's taking Aaron, so we'll be alone tonight."
"Wonderful," Charlie said. "I have to go tell Jack I love him."
"Fine, I get pushed aside for the doctor," Claire joked. Charlie smiled.
"Never, like I would pick the doctor over you," Charlie said. Claire smiled and kissed him.
"I heard that Liam has a surprise for you tonight," Claire whispered in his ear.
"What?" Charlie asked. Claire smiled mischievously. "Can't you tell me now?"
"Nope, I'm under oath that I can not tell you. Liam trusts me and I'm keeping his word. But you'll like the surprise," Claire said. Charlie sighed.
Soon after that, everyone else started dancing and then they had cake. Charlie and Claire sat there eating their cake and Claire noticed Sawyer on the dance floor necking somebody.
"I'm guessing that's Rachel," she murmured.
"What?" Charlie asked. Claire pointed to the dance floor.
"Before Sawyer walked me down the aisle he asked me if I had a cousin named Rachel because I'm guessing he took a liking to her. But I told him no. I don't know who she is," Claire said.
"You don't know who she is because Rachel's my cousin!" Charlie said. Claire laughed.
"Well, I'm guessing Sawyer likes her then. Better warn her that he likes one night stands," Claire said. Charlie sighed and turned back to his cakes. He looked up at Claire, her face was pale.
"Claire, are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, fine why?" she asked.
"Your face is pale. Are you sure you don't feel sick?" Charlie asked placing his hand on her cheek.
"No, I feel fine. It's probably because of all the dancing I've been doing. I'm fine Charlie," Claire said kissing his hand.
"Okay, but you tell me if you feel sick and we can go home," Charlie said.
"And leave our own wedding? I know what you want to do and I told you to wait until later," Claire said. Charlie frowned. Claire smiled and kissed his cheek.
Soon Liam decided to give his toast as best man. He stood up and looked towards Charlie and Claire.
"I'm not very good at these things but I figured if Charlie did it at my wedding then I can do it at his," Liam started out. Charlie rolled his eyes and Claire his arm. "Anyway, Charlie thanks for always being the best baby brother that you could be. I wouldn't trade you for the world even though I told you I would when we were younger. You've turned into a great guy and now you're going to be a loving husband and father to Aaron. I just want to say that I was so excited when I found out you were okay after the crash. I didn't want to think what had happened to you all those months on the island. But you managed to find a great girl and you helped her take care of her son. And now you two are married and you've adopted Aaron. I love you little brother." Charlie smiled at Liam.
"Claire, sorry you got stuck with Charlie, but now there's no other way to get out of the relationship. I think he's going to hang around you for a long time now," Liam started. Claire laughed. "But instead of losing my brother to you, I've gained a wonderful sister-in-law. You are one of the most caring and sweetest people I've ever met. Please always stay that way, because I don't want to see Charlie get hurt. I know you'd never hurt him. Thank you for taking care of him and always making sure he was kept sane. And thanks for letting me bunk at your guys place for a long time, and sorry I scared you on the first day I arrived." Claire blushed at the memory. "Anyway, I love you too. I love you both, congratulations."
Everybody clinked their glasses and took drinks when Liam stood back up. "And, Charlie, I have a surprise for you." Claire smiled at Charlie. "I know that not too long ago you wrote a song for Claire and seeing as it is your wedding day, if you'd like to perform it for her." Claire's eyes widened as she looked at Charlie. Liam had lied to her.
"Did you know about this?" Charlie asked. Claire looked shocked.
"Liam, lied to me," Claire said. "He told me he was going to do something special for you."
"Well, this is doing something special for me," Charlie said. Claire giggled and Charlie stood. "Of course I'll sing to my wife, only she has to come sit out on the dance floor while I do it."
Claire stood and followed Charlie out onto the dance floor. Liam brought Charlie his guitar and Claire sat in a chair as Charlie started playing 'You and Me.'
Later…
Charlie and Claire were dancing again, it was close to the end of their reception and they would be going home soon.
Charlie twirled Claire and brought her back to him. Claire looked up at Charlie and smiled. She couldn't believe that this had actually happened. She thought it was all a dream, but she knew if she pinched herself it wouldn't be.
"You still look pale, are you sure you're okay?" Charlie asked again. Claire started to nod but then she stopped.
"Actually, I have something to tell you," Claire said. She watched as concern grew on Charlie's face.
"What's wrong?" he asked. Claire took his hands.
"Charlie, we're going to have a baby," Claire said. "I'm pregnant."
"What?" Charlie asked. "You're pregnant?" Claire nodded smiling. Charlie smiled and picked her up in a big kiss.
"I found out yesterday right after the rehearsal dinner," she said. Charlie smiled and kissed her again.
"This is so exciting, how come you didn't tell me then?" Charlie asked.
"I wanted to surprise you today," Claire said. "It was eating me up all day."
"I'm glad you told me," Charlie said putting their foreheads together. "So, Aaron's going to be a big brother?" Claire nodded. Charlie smiled and kissed her softly. His hands moved to her abdomen and he placed them on her stomach.
"I love you Charlie," Claire whispered.
"I love you too Claire," Charlie said.

Yay! They're going to have a baby! I just throw in lots of surprises don't I? Sadly to say that the next chapter is the last one. :( But don't worry, when I post the last chapter, I will be putting up one of my other stories! See you next time.
