The next morning Mia, her mom and Natalie went to get Mia's wedding dress. She wanted something simple yet beautiful. She found the perfect dress at a shop in lower Manhattan on line and now they were going to see it.
"Mia that is the perfect dress." Natalie said as Mia modeled it for them.
"I think so too." Mia smiled. It was a tulle gown that featured a softly shirred sweetheart neckline bodice and beaded straps. Embellishment details accent the natural waist of the full ball gown skirt and had a chapel length train. The fingertip length veil of illusion was attached to a diamond and ruby tiara.
"Oh Mia, it's beautiful." Rosa said with tears.
"Thanks mom." She laughed. She motioned for the seamstress to come and make sure she got the measurements right.
"So have you decided on bridesmaids and colors?" Rosa asked.
"I was thinking Natalie as my matron of honor. And Anna and Sophia as bridesmaids."
"What about color?"
"Red. I want them in simple red A-line dresses."
"They are going to be beautiful." Natalie said smiling.
"Thanks. I'm so glad I have you guys here to share this with me."
"I'm just glad you found the kind of happiness your father and I have shared all these years."
"Me too Mama. Me too."
They finished the dress fittings and headed to lunch. While the girls were looking at wedding dresses and other things, the guys were at the tuxedo shop getting theirs done.
"I wasn't sure this day would come." Fabo said to John as he watched the tailor measure him for the tuxedo.
"You never thought I would get married?" John said looking at his father.
"No, I didn't. I saw you with girls but you never looked like you wanted to be with them. I have never seen you look at anyone like you do Mia. And that makes me so happy."
"Thanks." John smiled. "I love her more than I never knew I could love someone. I know how special and beautiful she is. Not just on the outside but the inside too. She is truly one of a kind."
"Wow, writing your wedding vows already." Ted kiddingly said.
"No but I could use the words." John laughed.
"Are the Romano's coming?" Randy asked.
"No, they had tuxedos already." Fabo laughed.
"They're using the same ones?" Ted asked
"No, they had some done a few weeks ago. Domenico is more organized then we are." Fabo sat down. "That is why their family has always been tops." He turned to John. "You are marrying into a powerful family and as such we are now going to be related to that family. Boys, this is a day to be remembered."
"Well I guess we know who the favorite son is now don't we?" Randy said laughing.
"I love all you boys equally. You all make me proud."
"Well, Randy and I have to run. We are meeting Mia, Natalie and Mrs. Romano in a few for lunch. We will see you guys at the house later."
Ted and Fabo nodded as John and Randy headed out. They arrived at a Greek restaurant a few blocks away. They walked in and saw Mia, Natalia and Mrs. Romano sitting down.
"You ladies look beautiful." John said as he kissed Mia hello. Randy did the same with Natalie.
"Thanks. Did the tux fitting go okay?" Mia asked him.
"Yeah, me, Randy, Ted and dad all got tuxes." He replied as the waiter came by to take their order. "Did you get your dress?"
"I did and I must say it's beautiful." She smiled.
"It really is John." Natalie added. "You are going to die when you see her in it."
"Let's hope not." He laughed.
Mia's mom watched the couples. She had to smile. This was what she had always wanted for her daughter. A man who enjoyed being with her even if it was talking about a wedding.
"So, when are you going to find out what the baby is?" Rosa asked.
"Mom, I don't think this is the right time to talk about that." Mia replied not wanting to upset Natalie.
"Mia, you don't have to not talk about the baby." Natalie said knowing what Mia was doing. "Yes, I'm sad that Randy and I lost our baby. But I'm happy for you and John. "
"Thanks." Mia smiled and hugged her.
"Well, let's enjoy lunch." Rosa said when the waiter brought it out.
Mia and John drove back to the house supposedly to look at decorating ideas but didn't make it any farther that the downstairs guest room. They lay there afterward in each other's arms.
"I don't think that will help with the decorating." Mia said with a smile.
"No, but it makes it all fun." John smiled. He moved his hand to her stomach. "I can't wait until we find out what we're having."
"What do you think it is? Or what do you want it to be?"
"I don't care as long as it's healthy but a girl would be nice. A cute little girl with blue eyes and dark hair. Your personality and sweetness." He smiled. "But I know a boy would make our parents happy."
"Yeah it would." She smiled. "I just want a healthy baby." She leaned up and kissed him. "I just want a healthy baby and a long and happy life with you."
He smiled and they started to make love again. They were having dinner with everyone later and then Randy and Natalie were going on their vacation. The wedding was a few weeks away.
An hour later, Mia and John had dressed after a shower together and headed to the main house for dinner. Mia smiled when she saw that Natalie and Mila had both invited their sisters and that Justin and Evan were chatting them up.
"Well now that John and Mia are here, let's go eat." Domenico said.
Everyone headed into the dining room where the staff served lasagna, salad, and breadsticks. Everyone was enjoying the food and wine.
"So, does everyone have dates for the wedding?" Rosa asked them.
"Rosa, enough with the matchmaking." Domenico said to his wife.
"I was just asking."
"Well mom, Adalyn has agreed to be my date for the wedding." Justin replied to his mom.
"And Jennelle has agreed to be my date." Evan added.
"Excellent. Now everyone has dates for the wedding. This will truly be a happy day." Rosa smiled.
They ate dinner and Natalie and Randy left. Domenico relaxed a little and let Mia spend the night at John's with a strict security detail. Life was settling down for them. Later that night, John held Mia close and smiled to himself. In just three weeks, they would be man and wife.
