We've Had Our Story…
- But What Happened Then?
Chapter 15.
A Wedding
"Oh, honey, are you nervous?" Erica asked, straightening her hair.
"No, I just can't believe it." Sophie said, swallowing tears which were threatening.
"It's a big day." Shelly said, "I mean, you're getting married."
"How did you do it without wetting your pants, Shelly?" Sophie asked.
Erica laughed.
"No, I'm serious." Sophie said.
Erica stiffened and her smile faded.
Then Emma came through the door; "Are you ready?" she asked, "We're all waiting for you."
The three others looked at each other, and followed Emma out the door.

The ceremony was beautiful.
Samantha was the flower girl, and Peter was the ring bearer.
Sophie looked gorgeous. She was beautiful.
They had written their own wows, and the rest of the gang found themselves whipping away their tears.
It was that wonderful.
Because Sophie and Matthew had written their own wows, when the priest finally pronounced them husband and wife, everyone knew that they were meant for each other.
At the reception, Gracie ran into Sophie's open arms, "Congratulations Soph!" she smiled.
"Thanks!" Sophie said, "I can't believe it, I'm married now!"
"It's amazing." Gracie smiled, "Everyone is growing up, huh? Even you!"
Sophie laughed, "Yeah. Wonder who's the next?"
"Probably Erica. I don't think Mikey and Sandy will get married."
"You don't?"
"Nah, I don't think it's really them."
"You're pry right." Sophie said, "But who knows? Maybe the next one will be you?"
Gracie stiffened, "What? Why would you say that?"
"Well, I don't know." Sophie shrugged, "You and JJ are just such a wonderful couple, that's all."
"You think?"
"Yeah," Sophie said, "Look, I gotta go now. I think Matthew and I have some business to do. It's my wedding day."
Gracie watched her walk away, mumbling, "Uh, I'm married, I'm married, I'm married…"

"So, how's it going with Philip?" Shelly asked.
"It's great." Sandy said, "It's wonderful to be a mother, but it's exhausting."
"Yeah, I know." Shelly smiled.
"Anyway, we're throwing a six months kinda thing, just for you guys and a few others. Just to celebrate his half year of living."
"Okay," Shelly said, "We'll be there."
"Good."
They turned their heads when they heard Samantha and Peter yell.
"Sam!" Peter yelled, trailing after his cousin, "Wait for me!"
"I'm going to the bathroom, Peter." Samantha said, "You can't go with me in there. It's for the ladies."
"But I wanna go!" Peter said.
"You can't, no." Samantha said.
"Mommy!?" Peter yelled, storming towards Shelly, "Sam wont let me go with her to the bathroom."
Shelly and Sandra who'd heard the whole thing, cracked up.
"I understand your problem, Peter." Shelly said, "But women like to go to the bathroom alone."
"They do?"
"Yeah."
"Do they, aunt Sandy?"
"Yeah, they really do Peter."
"Okay then." Peter said, running to Samantha again, "You go to the bathroom, and I wait right here for you."
"Okay." Samantha said, running away.
Then, Peter sat down on his butt and crossed his arms.

"JJ?" Emma asked, pulling him with her to a corner of the room, "I need to talk to you."
"Yeah?"
"What's the deal with you and Gracie?" Emma asked, "Is it just a fling, or…? You know, 'cause I don't want her to waste her time, so if you're just…"
"Stop. Stop." JJ said, "A fling?"
"Yeah, you know, 'cause some people do have…"
"Emma calm down." JJ said, "I love your sister. She's not wasting her time with me. If anyone is looking for us not to get serious, it's her."
"Really?"
"I don't know what's going on in her head." JJ said, "But something is bothering her."
"Maybe I should talk to mom." Gracie wondered.
"I don't know." JJ said, "We haven't been together for so long, but I want to give her a message, something which says ´I love you. I only wanna be with you´. I mean, how do I do that?"
"Have you said I love you? You can always say I love you!"
"I've done that." JJ said, "But she doesn't say it back very often."
"Hmm…" Emma looked thoughtful, but then her eyes got shiny and a smile covered her face, "I've got it!"
"What?"
"Nah, maybe it's stupid…"
"No, come on, tell me."
"No, I don't want to."
"You cant stop in the middle of it!" JJ said, "You started this!"
"Okay then!" Emma said, clapping her hands together, "You could always propose to her…"
I know, I know, short chapter, mainly fluff, but I've gotten action on the schedule from now on. Leave me a review. Thanks., Stefania.
