Chapter Forty- Three

The flights home had been short and long all at the same time they reminded Zoe of her trip to BlueBell from New York City all those months ago now. But this time she had no fear of what was waiting for her when she returned. This time she had Wade on the same flights as her it was a shame they could not get to set together but they were blessed to be able to get on the same flights. Poor George hadn't been as lucky because he was a hour later getting to the airport then they had been. So he was on different flights home.

The bright side was on the first flight Wade was just across the isle from her so they could talk to each other through out that flight. But once they had maneuvered around O"Hare airport and got on their next flight they had discovered this time they were not setting close together at all. Wade hated not being able to talk to Zoe on that stretch of their flight. It seemed to take forever to get to Atlanta without having Zoe there to talk to. The last flight they took their seats were a few rows apart Wade found this better because Zoe was setting in front of him so that he could at least see her.

By the time they hit Mobile it was super late or really early morning depending on the way you looked at it. Wade was glad that George had brought his truck also so they didn't have to wait for him before heading home. Wade drove back to BlueBell while Zoe had at first tried to stay awake for the twenty some mile drive but failed a few minutes in. Wade who was used to being up at this hour from working the closing shift at the Rammer Jammer just smiled at his fiance. He loved that word Fiance it was becoming one of his favorite words the only better one would be Wife.

Yes when he gets to call Zoe Hart his Wife that would be the best day of his life. Because it would be a day full of nothing but happiness. Not like the day Jack had been born because while becoming a Father was life changing and wonderful, Zoe being in a coma and not being able to be in the room with her when she gave birth made it so sad. But all that sadness was over now, Zoe was with him again fully they were getting married soon life was good.

Pulling into his parking spot Wade turned off the engine of his Suv then quietly got out walking to the Carriage house front door unlocking it then he turned around going back to his Suv he walked to the front passenger door opening it slowing in case Zoe was leaning on it in her sleep. Once he had fully opened it Wade gently unbuckled Zoe from the seat belt then lift her up, smiling as he thought this was a practice ran of when he got to carry her over the threshold for when they got married. Wade carried Zoe into her bedroom laying her on her bed taken off her shoes. Then he went to lock the front door and returned to Zoe's bed crawling in beside her holding her close as he allowed himself to finally fall to sleep.

Hours later Zoe felt arms wrapped around her and softness underneath her she smiled knowing that Wade must have carried her in after she fell asleep on the way home from the airport. She did not want to open her eyes though she was still to tried to want to start her day yet. She just needed a few more hours of sleep then she could get up and claim her baby boy back from Lavon and Lemon.

Wade was awake already he was used to having less sleep a few times a week from closing the Rammer Jammer some nights. But he wasn't moving yet he was just enjoying this time holding the love of his life in his arms. Because he knew once they picked up Jack everything would go back to normal and all their attention would be on their son and having to get back to work as it should be. So Wade allowed himself this treasured time to just enjoy being with Zoe.

The phone call to Ethan Hart to inform him that Zoe and Wade had gotten engaged had went very well. He seemed really happy for the couple. He even had told Zoe he had a saving account he had been saving up for her wedding day. Something neither had even thought of the cost of their wedding which looked to now being taken care of. Zoe had at first tried to deny her Father telling him she did not need him to pay for her wedding, but he had plead with her telling her it was a dream of his to be able to walk her down the isle and pay for her wedding it was his duty as her Father.

After hearing that Zoe could not deny him. So now she was in planning mode, she had first asked Lemon if she had picked a date yet for her wedding but so far Lemon had not she wanted first to get her dress then she would pick a date. Lemon had given her permission to Zoe and Wade to pick a date if they had one in minded already.

Earl was probably the happiest at the news of their engagement other then they themselves were. He had hugged his soon to be daughter then asked to see her ring. Wanting to see how his Jacqueline ring looked on Zoe's finger, seeing it there made the older man cry with happiness, seeing how happy the ring was making a new soon to be Mrs. Kinsella.

Jack was just to young to understand what was going on so he didn't know why he was having to learn to walk around with a pillow that had rings tied to it. He liked running around with the pillow having his Father chase after him. The funest was when he walked towards his parents and George was the one chasing him after he would ran past them.

Dash was in his glory having gotten so many blog post on the upcoming wedding of Zoe and Wade. Plus all the ones when would Lavon and Lemon finally set a date. The whole town of BlueBell was trying to guess on that one.

BlueBell had a new respect for Wanda after her take down of that hussy Kay, how she had tried to tear apart one of the towns favorite couples just for money had made her enemy name one. She hadn't showed her face in town since that day and no one had missed her.

The little tux that Jack was in made him look just so cute he kept trying to loosen the top button. But he couldn't get it undone so he was just getting ready to start crying when Zoe picked him up, which took his attention away from the button. "Leave that alone baby" Zoe told her son then kissed his little cheek "You're the best man you have to look your best"

Lemon had surprised everyone by announcing she had her Wedding all ready to go and it would be the next weekend she had all the dresses already made, all the brides maids had been fitted weeks ago. The men still had to get their tuxes, all but Jack who Lemon had already ordered his as well. Because of the shortness of time Lavon's bachelor party became a bbq that Wade had thrown for his friend Jack handing out bubblegum cigars to everyone.

Lemon had for her bachelorette party a spa day, Zoe said it was a lot of fun all the girls of BlueBell getting together. It did not sound like what Wade would think of as fun but hey each there own.

Lavon himself was scrambling to book a honeymoon that he thought Lemon would love, along with getting all his appointments as Mayor postponed or cancelled. Seemed Lemon hadn't even told Lavon the date for them Wedding until the last minutes as well.

Wade would be standing next to Lavon holding onto Jack the entire wedding ceremony. So he was also wearing a tux Zoe thought he looked handsome in it, she couldn't wait until their own wedding day which was just around the corner. Zoe had been surprised when Lemon had asked her to be a brides maid but was happy to be able to stand up at her good friends wedding.

The Wedding was outside on the Church's steps and it was beautiful and made Zoe hope that her own wedding could come off half as good. Lemon had everything planned so perfect. Nothing like the failed wedding that she had with George at least that's what everyone kept saying at the reception held in the town square.

Jack had stayed in his Father's arms the entire ceremony and even handed the ring to Lavon when it was time. He did wave at his Mother a few times during the vows exchange but that just got a lot of aww's from the wedding guests.

The part Jack hated was all the pictures he had to set or well be held for. They took almost as long as the wedding ceremony did. Once they got to the town square for the reception Jack was down and running after the other kids he seen. Also he had the first button undone in no time flat. Wade had to chase his Son down so they could eat then Jack had to give his Best Man speech. Which was just Jack saying "Von, Lem, ove" which of course everyone thought was so cute.

Because of this Lemon made sure once after she and Lavon had cut their wedding cake and made a mess of each other with their slice that Jack got the next slice of cake and he followed the bride and groom and was soon covered in cake.

Wade had wanted to practice the shoving cake into his future Brides faces, but the look she give Wade told him not to even try there would be hell to pay. And since he was wanting Zoe to marry him soon Wade instead offered her just a bite of his slice of cake because she hadn't been able to get a piece yet. Zoe happily took the offered piece.

The whole town of BlueBell had turned out for Lavon and Lemon's wedding this must have costed Brick a fortune. Zoe couldn't help but wonder as she looked around at all her friends if George ever did pay Brick back for the non wedding? George was here with AnnaBeth as his date they looked really happy. The whole town was just waiting until they announced their own engagement news.

This day was a very happy day everyone in BlueBell was smiling, Zoe hoped that everyone would be as happy at her own Wedding. But it didn't matter if they were or not all that matter was that she and Wade would be as happy as Lavon and Lemon were right now on their special day.

Zoe hoped that Jack would be as good as he had been today, on his own parents Wedding day. The little guy seemed to really like the party he kept running from one table to the next then back to theirs so he could give his Mommy all the flowers he had been taking from the other tables.

Zoe had seen the photographer following Jack around, she wanted to talk to him later seen if he would let her buy copies of all the photos he had taken of Jack today and maybe a few he had taken of Wade and her as well.

"Just think in a few short months this will be us" Wade whispered into Zoe's ear as he watched Jack trying to dance with Lemon, well Lavon was holding onto Jack as they newlyweds danced.

"I for one can't wait" Zoe replied turning her head to give Wade a quick peck on the cheek. "I just hope Jack enjoys our Wedding as much as this one"

"I think our little man will enjoy it just as much if not more" Wade said laughing as he watched Jack kiss Lemon on the cheek then pull some of her perfect hair out of it's style.

"Do you think Lemon knows what Jack just did?" Zoe asked as she stood up wanting to get to her baby before he pulled more of Lemon's hair.

"Trust me she knows" Wade said following Zoe "but Lemon isn't going to make a big deal of it to drew attention to it"

"Jack come to Mommy" Zoe said as she walked up to the trio and put her arms out "it's time to let Lavon and Lemon have the dance floor to themselves"

"If we must" Lemon said hating having their Best Man taken from Lavon and her. If it wasn't for the little guy who knows when Lavon would have finally gotten up the nerve to asks her to marry him?

"You'll have more fun without Jack dancing with you, I promise" Wade said as he moved his eyebrows up and down. The newlyweds just laughed at him.

"Mama" Jack said pointing to the dance floor. So Zoe held her son close and started dancing with her baby boy. Wade then stood back just watching the duo loving seeing his son and fiance looking so happy. In fact everyone in BlueBell had a smile on their faces it was like the whole town had decided today was a holiday.

"Wade" Zoe called drawing him from his thoughts "come dance with us"

Smiling Wade walked towards his family happy to join them.

I hope no one is disappointed that it wasn't Zoe and Wade's wedding instead of Lavon and Lemon's. I rewrote this chapter three times it would just not come to me then it just all of a sudden started coming and it was for Lavon and Lemon's big day.
