8 months later
Time had flown by so fast since the day that Cam had agreed to be Matt's wife again. There had been plans made, dresses bought, flower arrangements ordered and cakes decorated. Today was the big day. Today was the day that they were going to say I DO. Cam breathed in a sigh as she stood in front of the full length mirror in the brides' room getting ready for the ceremony. There was a knock on the door and she smiled as she saw Linney's head pop in the door.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Cam asked as she turned to look at her brother's girlfriend in the mirror. Linney walked in and sat down on the couch, the skirt of her lavender dress just touching the floor.
"Like I am so sick of being pregnant." She said rubbing her belly. Cam laughed. "You look gorgeous."
"Thank you. So do you."
"I look like a beached whale but thank you."
"You do not look like a beached whale."
"Thanks for that." Linney smiled. "You do look beautiful. I knew that dress was perfect. Matt is going to die when he see you."
The dress was an allover beaded corded lace A-line gown. It was strapless and featured a lavender colored sash and a chapel length train. The veil was fingertip length of illusion and attached to jewel encrusted comb.
"Thanks, but I hope he doesn't." She smiled just as the wedding director came in.
"It's time."
Linney got her flowers and headed to the front entrance. Cam took a deep breath and walked out meeting her dad. She smiled as she took his arm. She stood at the entrance and waited for the music to start. Once she heard the bridal chorus and the door opened, she walked down the aisle on the arm on her dad. She smiled when she saw Matt standing at the alter beside her brothers.
"Be seated. Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today to join in marriage Matthew and Camilla. Marriage is an honorable estate and not to be entered into lightly. Matthew and Camilla, do you come here of your own free will to be married?"
"We do." They answered together.
"Who gives this woman to be married?"
"I do." Dusty said as he handed Cam's hand to Matt.
Love has gathered us all here today. Camilla and Matthew are a shining example of that love. They have chosen to write their own vows. Matthew."
"Cam, I have known you for a while now. But I never really got to know you until a few years ago. Now, I can't imagine my life without you. I love you so much and I am glad that we have decided to spend the rest of our lives together."
"Camilla."
"Matt, it seems like I've been in love with you forever. I can't remember a time when I didn't love you, even we were just friends. I know I will love you forever and I can't wait for us to start our life together."
"The rings." The officiant said as Cody gave the rings to him. "A wedding ring is a visible sign of an invisible bond. Matthew, place the ring on Camilla's finger and said I, Matthew, take you, Camilla to be my wedded wife and I join my life with yours."
"I, Matthew, take you, Camilla, to be my wedded wife and I join my life with yours." Matt said as he slid the ring on her finger.
"Camilla, place the ring on Matthew's finger and said I, Camilla, take you, Matthew, to be my wedded wife and I join my life with yours."
"I, Camilla, take you, Matthew, to be my wedded wife and I join my life with yours." Cam repeated as she slid the ring on his finger.
"Camilla and Matthew, by exchanging vows and rings, you have promise to live your life together in the unity of marriage. By the power vested in me by the State of Flordia, I now pronounce that you are husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Matt leaned forward and kissed her just as Linney screamed. Everyone looked at her as she dropped her flowers and grabbed on to her stomach. Cody rushed over to her just as her water broke.
"Um….sorry guys. But, I think it's time." She said. Cam and Matt looked at each other and rushed her out to the car. Cam climbed into the passenger side, Matt into the driver's seat and Cody climbed into the back with Linney.
"How far apart are the contractions?" Matt asked.
"What?" Cody said.
"You are supposed to time them genius. Linney, how long have you been having pains?" Cam asked.
"I was having dull pains this morning but they got stronger as the day went on. Oh, here comes another one." She said as she grabbed Cody's hand and breathed through the pain.
"Oh my God, Matt can't you drive any faster? She is killing me back here." Cody said. Linney looked over at him through gritted teeth as Cam swatted him in the head. "OW!"
"Well you deserved it you insensitive jerk. She is about to give birth to your child and you're complaining because she is squeezing your hand? Snap out of it and be there for her."
Matt laughed at his wife and her interaction with her brother. He looked over at her as they pulled into the parking lot at the hospital and his sister was wheeled into labor and delivery.
"This was so not what I expected us to do after saying I do." He said. She leaned over and kissed him.
"It actually kind of fits. We are celebrating the start of our new life together by welcoming our new nephew into the world."
"Nephew?" Matt asked. Linney had kept the sex of the baby a closely guarded secret. Cam smiled at him and shook her head. "They are having a boy?"
"Yes Uncle Matt. A little boy for you and Cody to nerd up." He looked at her for a minute and raised his eyebrow at her and leaned in to kiss her again.
"You just called me a nerd. You as so going to pay for that later on at the hotel." He said between kisses. It was her turn to raise her eyebrows at him.
"Promises, promises." She whispered before she walked into the labor and delivery area. She walked up just in time to see Cody come running out of Linney's room followed by her cell phone. "What in the world is going on here?"
"She's crazy. All I asked was if she wanted something to eat. I told her I was hungry."
"You're a dillhole. She can't eat anything until after the baby is born. Look, go down to the cafeteria with Matt and I will sit with her for a little while."
"Thanks Cammie." Cody hugged his sister.
"Be back." Matt said before kissing his wife and then heading with Cody to the cafeteria.
Cam headed into the room where Linney was. "So, ready to kill my brother yet?"
"Yeah. Dumbass asked me if I wanted something to eat because he was hungry." Linney joked.
"Their guys. Food and sex is all they think about." Cam said sitting down.
"Yeah one of which got me here." Linney laughed. "So, where is he?"
"I sent him and Matt to get them some food. Can't let the guys go hungry." Cam laughed.
"I'm sorry this happened on your wedding day."
"Oh, it's fine. You can't control it. The baby comes when it's ready."
"Yeah, I guess my little guy is ready to come."
"So, what are you going to name this little boy who my husband will nerd up or my brother will dork up?"
Linney laughed. "Garrett Matthew Runnels."
"How in the hell did he talk you into that?"
"Because I get to name the girl."
"The girl?"
"I forgot to tell you…..We're having twins. Our daughter is going to be named…Savannah Diane Runnels. I thought that since our son is a mixture or Matt and Cody's names…..our daughter should be named after two strong women who mean a lot to me. So I picked Savannah after our mother and Diane after you." Cam looked at her friend and smiled.
"That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. Thank you. And when Matt and I have children, I'll name our daughter after you."
"Oh wow."
"We'd like to name her London Michelle."
"Are you pregnant?"
"What?" Cam asked shocked. "No, I don't think so. We are going to wait a little bit."
"Good. So, guys went to eat huh?"
"Yep." Cam replied just as another contraction hit. She took Linney's hand. "Breathe."
"I'm so ready for the kids to be born." Linney said once it had passed.
"They will be. Are you excited?"
"I am. I think your brother is more excited." Linney laughed.
"That's because he will have a little boy that he can introduce to Zelda and the other video games he likes."
Linney laughed as Cody and Matt walked in . "Dad's outside." Cody said to Cam and Linney.
"Are you going to let him come in or wait until after?" Cam asked.
"He said he would wait until after. He is so excited for two more grandchildren." Cody said taking the seat by Linney. Cam went to stand beside her husband.
"Did everyone know you were having twins but me?" Cam asked.
"I didn't know anything." Matt added.
"Because you don't pay attention." Linney kidded her brother.
"I think we need to clear the room so I can examine Linney." The doctor said walking in.
Everyone but Cody left and headed to the waiting room. They wondered how long before the babies would be there. About an hour later, Cody came out of the room smiling. Cam and Matt walked over to him.
"Well?" He pulled his phone out and showed them pictures of both babies. "Two babies?"
"Yeah. Garrett Matthew 6lbs, 7oz 22 inches long and Savannah Diane 6lbs, 2oz 21 inches long. Both babies and Linney are doing great." Cody said beaming. Matt smiled.
"Congratulations." Matt said. "When can we see them?"
"Doc says to give them a few minutes to get them all cleaned up." Matt nodded. Cam hugged her brother.
"They're beautiful. They must take after their mother." She whispered. Cody laughed at her.
"I would have to agree with you there.
