Chapter 19- The Big Day

Sam woke up from her sleep at about 8 the next morning. She smiled to herself when she remembered. Today she was going to marry Phil Hunter. She put on her dressing gown and went downstairs. As she went down the stairs, she heard laughter coming from the kitchen. Sam went down to the kitchen and opened the door. 'Morning Sam,' Jo said merrily.

'Morning,' Sam replied.

'Sit down, I'll get you a cup of coffee mum,' Abi said as she went over to the kettle.

Phil had just woken up as well. He went downstairs to get himself a cup of tea. Mickey was already awake. 'Morning Phil,' he said as Phil entered the kitchen.

'Morning Mickey,' Phil replied.

'You nervous?' Mickey asked.

'No. I know Sam'll be there. I love her Mickey and she loves me, she won't leave me standing. She's the one; I really think she is,'

'Then I'm pleased for you mate,'

'Right,' Phil said as he drank the last of his tea. 'I've got something I need to do.'

'You're not going to see Sam? It's bad luck if you do,' Mickey replied.

'No course not, I wouldn't wanna jinx today would I?' Phil asked as he left the kitchen and went out of the door.

Back at Sam's meanwhile, she'd just finished her coffee and was starting to eat some toast when the doorbell rang. 'I'll get it,' Francesca said as she left the kitchen.

Francesca went to answer the door. She opened it and saw a female delivery girl stood there; she was holding a dozen long-stemmed red roses. 'Hi, these are for a Ms S Nixon. I was told she lived at this address,' she said.

'Yeah, she does. I'll pass them on to her,' Francesca replied as she took the roses from the delivery girl. She left the doorstep and got back into the van and drove off.

Francesca re-entered the kitchen with the roses in her arms. 'These just arrived for you Sam,' she said as she passed the roses and the card to Sam.

Sam opened the card which said: To my gorgeous Sam, I have waited so long for today to arrive and now it finally has. I love you so much and I'm going to prove that to you today. My love always and forever, Phil xx

Sam smiled as she read the card. 'Awww that's so sweet,' Abi said as she read the card over Sam's shoulder.

'What times the childminder arriving?' Sam asked.

'She should be here any minute now, I'm just going to sort him out,' Abi replied and she left the kitchen.

'How are you sis?' Francesca asked as she went over to her sister. 'Are you nervous?'

'Just a bit, you find me a bride-to-be that isn't nervous on her big day. Weren't you?' Sam replied.

'Yeah, course I was. I was so nervous, I almost considered not turning up. In hindsight, if I'd have known that we'd be separated 10years down the line, I probably wouldn't have gone ahead with it. I guess I could've saved myself a lot of heartache,' Francesca said as the doorbell rang again.

'I'll get it,' Jo said and she left the living room to answer the door.

'I'm really pleased that you've found Phil, I know how much he's changed for you and I know how much he loves you,' Francesca said and she gave Sam a hug.

'Abi!' Jo called from the hall. 'Childminder's here!'

'Coming!' Abi called back as she came down the stairs with Matthew in her arms. Jo left Abi and the childminder to it and went back into the living room. 'Thanks for this Lindsey, I really appreciate this.'

'It's no problem Abi, I'll see you later,' Lindsey replied.

Abi gave Matthew a kiss. 'I'll come and pick him up tomorrow morning. Is that OK?' she asked.

'Course it is, Abi. Don't worry, I'll look after him,' Lindsey replied.

'I'll see you later, then,' Abi said as she watched Lindsey put Matthew in the car seat, get in the car a drive off.

'Come on Mum,' Abi called through to the living room. 'Let's start getting you ready.'
