Chapter 25

"Ok" Amy said pulling the covers off Jessie as she tried to sleep "get up girlie we have things to do, places to go, people to see".

"Does it look like I wanna get up?" Jessie asked, grumpily "I spent half the night rocking Rosalyn who just happen to choose now to get colic. I am tired, I am irritable I don't particularly want to do anything or go anywhere today, ok?".

"Oh stop bitchin'" Chloe said to Jessie "get up out of bed and go get a shower before I haul your ass out of bed and throw you in a cold shower". Jessie grumbled a bit but got out of bed to go take a shower.

"One of you get Rosie ready" she said as she walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her.

There was a knock on the door as Anna started putting an outfit on Rosie and changing her dirty diaper. Amy went to answer it, smiling at Trish and John who were on the other side. She let them in, going over to sit on the bed and tie her shoe.

"I'm guessing that's Jessie" John stated, pointing toward the bathroom where the shower could be heard.

"Yep" Lynnsey told him, trying to slyly check him out "and beware she's a BEAR today, that girl woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning".

"If she gets an attitude with me I'll just ground her from the wedding" John joked, smiling at Lynnsey. He knew she was trying to check him out and he found it funny. She blushed and looked away.

"Do you need some help hun?" Trish asked Anna who was having a tough time getting Rosalyn to hold still so she could pull her outfit on.

"Please" Anna said, looking at Trish pleadingly. Trish smiled and sat on the bed, taking Rosie in her arms to put her outfit on. Within minutes she was completely dressed and sitting on the bed smiling happily. She let out a cough all of a sudden and got whiney.

"Aww" Trish said, picking her up "I know what that cough means. You have colic, that stuffs no fun is it, huh? No it isn't" Rosalyn laid her head on Trish's shoulder and John bent down on the bed behind Trish and played pickaboo with her, making Rosalyn smile a bit and giggle occasionally. After a few minutes Jessie slugged out of the bathroom, dragging her feet.

"Wow nice fashion statement babygirl" John said, looking at Jessie's attire. She was wearing a Marilyn Manson t-shirt that had Marilyn on the front with his mouth fractured and giving a glare. She also had on some black jeans adding to the goth look.

"Thanks" Jessie mumbled as she sat down and put on her shoes.

"Aren't you afraid that's gonna scare Rosie?" Lynnsey asked Jessie. Jessie finished tying her shoe and went to stand in front of Rosie.

"Rosie, Rosalyn" Jessie said in a cooing voice "look at mama" the little girl looked up at Jessie and smiled. "See mama's t-shirt" Jessie said holding it out. Rosalyn looked at it then back at Jessie's face, still smiling "doesn't seem like she has a problem with it" Jessie said as she picked Rosalyn up "kid how do you do it? You were up as long as I was last night and here you are smiling and giggling whereas I am dragging booty and feeling like crap". Rosalyn just sat in Jessie's arms, cooing and talking baby talk. "Where's Kevin?" Jessie asked, looking around for the little boy.

"Mom and pop are here" John told her "he's spending the day with them".

"Aww" Jessie whined "grandma and pops are here and I don't get to see them? That blows".

"You'll get to see 'em tonight" John said, rolling his eyes "we're having a big family dinner, girls you're invited by the way, and they'll be there".

"Does that mean Sylvain will be there?" Jessie asked hopefully.

"Nope" John told her "he's going out with Rene, Masters, Carlito, Shelton and Conway".

"Poo" Jessie said, sticking her bottom lip out "ok well let's get to whatever you guys have planned, I want this day over with so I can get to tomorrow MY WEDDING". Jessie did a twirly dance and Rosalyn giggled in her arms.

"Would you quit sulking?" Rene said, smacking Sylvain on the arm "its so annoying". They were sitting alone at the bar. Carlito, Shelton, Chris and Rob had begged off, going to a strip club. Sylvain didn't want to go because 'the only woman I want to look at naked is Jessie' and Rene and he had went to a bar.

"I'm not sulking" Sylvain said, taking a drink of his beer. He was staring at the bar in front of him and had a sour look on his face "I'm missing my Jessie there's a difference".

"Awww" Rene cooed, batting his eyelashes comically "you're Jessie that's so cute".

"Bug off" Sylvain grumbled "leave me alone".

"Well" Rene said, standing up "I do have to make a phone call, be ready to leave when I get back". Rene walked out to the front of the bar they were at and took out his cell phone, dialing a number. "Hey" he said once it was picked up "I think this letting Sylvain and Jessie see each other tonight thing is definitely a good idea. He's driving me bananas. He's so moody".

"I know how you feel" John laughed. He was in a toy store letting Rosalyn play with the stuffed animals. She was presently sitting on a huge stuffed horse holding its ears and giggling "Jessie's driving us nuts too. The girls did a spa day thing and I'm here with Rosie, thank God. On the way to the spa Jessie kept giving one word answers to things people said to her, she'd look out of the car with this sour look on her face, I'm sure that people that we passed got a little afraid that she'd shoot up their car or something".

"Hahaha" Rene laughed "yep that's pretty much the mood Sylvain's in. He said something earlier about 'my Jessie'. I think it'd do our sanity good to let them see each other".

"Ok I agree how about tonight from 10 to midnight? We could rent a separate hotel room for them. We let them spend the two hours together and then we take them back to their respective rooms. Also Rosie can spend the night with Sylvain, I'll come pick her up later tomorrow morning. I know the girls are gonna be spending a long time before the wedding getting their hair done and all so I think it'd be a good idea if Jessie didn't have to worry about her". John bent down next to Rosalyn and tickled her stomach, making her giggle happily.

"Sounds good to me" Rene agreed "but hey I gotta go before Sylvain overhears what I'm saying".

"Ok good, just call me like around 9 or something like that and we'll set up the room and all" John told Rene who agreed, he ended the call and put his cell phone back into his pocket. He looked at Rosie "are you a cowgirl" he cooed "huh? Do you like the horsie? Maybe one day Papa John will buy you and cousin Kevin a horsie and you two can ride it and all. Would you like that?" Rosalyn smiled, as if she knew what John was saying to her.

"Grandma, Pop" Jessie exclaimed, hugging her grandparents tightly. "How are you?" she asked them.

"We should be asking how you are" Carol told her "I can't believe you're getting married tomorrow. It seems like just yesterday that you had met us for the first time, I remember you ran outside. Marc went talked to you..." Carol trailed off and Jessie could see tears in her eyes.

"I wonder what Jessie's doing right now?" Sylvain asked Rene. They were in their hotel room and Rene was praying that 10 o'clock would get their sooner than it was. He spared a glance at the clock and saw that it was 8:15. When he saw that Rene had to bite back a moan.

"Having dinner with her family" Rene told him "and don't get any ideas they're not in the hotel restaurant". Sylvain looked a bit sad when Rene told him this and Rene was tempted to spill the beans about later that night but he held it in.

"Hey Jessie" Marc said, suddenly "remember that time that you and John came over to Aunt Carol and Uncle Pops and had that campout thing in the spare room? I remember waking up on the last day ya'll were gonna be there and you'd already left, my chest was a bit wet..." Marc let his sentence trail off and Jessie blushed heavily and threw her napkin at him.

"Aight" John said, standing up "its been real, its been fun, it ain't been real fun" he joked "but Jessie has somewhere she has to be, well at least for about the next two hours". Jessie looked at him quizzically as he pulled her chair out and held out his hand to help her stand up.

"What are you talking about?" she asked him, puzzled by his actions.

"You'll see" he said, mysteriously. "Follow me". Jessie did so although she was really confused. They went on the elevators and up to the fourth floor. John lead her to room 466.

"Daddy my rooms 39..." she started but John cut her off.

"This is a special room only reserved to you for two hours" he told her "see Rene and I were taking today and we thought we'd give you and Sylvain a little surprise" Jessie's eyes lit up at the mention of Sylvain's name and John knew how much she was in love with him "you and he get to spend from now until midnight in this room, either Rene or I will come get you then, and don't try holing yourself up in their either we have the key to the room next door and we can come in through the adjoining door".

"Is he in there yet?" Jessie asked, pointing to the room.

"Go see" John told her before walking off down the hallway. Jessie walked in and was disappointed that Sylvain hadn't arrived yet. She rationed that he'd be there soon though. She sat down on the bed and waited. What felt like an eternity later Jessie heard a key being inserted into the door. She got up and as soon as Sylvain had stepped into the room she was in his arms.

"Chereie" he mumbled, his head buried in her hair "God how I've missed you. This week has been torture on me".

"Me too" Jessie said as she felt tears come to her eyes. She was enjoying the feeling of his arms wrapped around her.

"Oooh" Sylvain said, pulling back from Jessie "look a radio" he went over and turned it on, turning to Jessie he held out his hand "dance with me" she walked over and Sylvain put his hands on her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck.
CREDIT TO NICKELBACK PLEASE DONT REPORT ME
This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know,
you know, you know

Nothing was said as the two danced, both afraid to ruin the moment they were sharing. They were wrapped up in each other and the feelings that they felt for each other.

That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

Sylvain dipped Jessie, making her giggle before bringing her back up and hugging her to his body and placing his head in her neck, he couldn't get enough of touching her.

On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

Sylvain started humming the song in Jessie's ear. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, not wanting it to ever end but knowing that it would before she wanted it to.

So far away Been far away for far too long So far away Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know

I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving Hold on to me and, never let me go

Jessie and Sylvain paid no mind as the song ended, both wrapped up in each other. They danced the entire time they were allowed to be together and both thought it was perfect. Before they knew it there was a knock on the door "time's up" Rene's voice called from the door "don't worry you only have about twelve hours before you see each other again".

"Twelve hours my ass" Sylvain grumbled. Jessie laughed and the two shared a simple kiss that poured out all kinds of emotions that the two were feeling.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Jessie said, pulling from Sylvain's arms "I'll be the one coming down the aisle toward you".

"I shall count the minutes cherie" Sylvain told her.

"I love you baby" Jessie told him, walking toward the door.

"I love you too, cherie" Sylvain replied. He watched as she walked out the door and wondered how he'd ever get through the next twelve hours.
