I examined myself in the mirror; I couldn't help but let tears fall from my eyes. It finally set in that I was getting married. Eric and I chose to have a backyard wedding. I wore s beaded halter dress. It was long and flowing covering my yellow peep toe pumps matching with the color scheme of yellow and white. My usually straight hair is now in loose ringlets pulled up in a bun with a few stray hairs down. My make-up was very light pastel colors. I wiped away the tears with a Kleenex.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in," I said readjusting myself. Eric came in closing the door behind him. He stared at me silently for a few moments.

"If you take a picture it would last longer. How did you get up here, I thought you were with Ryan."

"You look amazing. Natalia needed Ryan to bring something from their apartment." Ryan and Natalia got back together last year after beating around the bush for so long.

"I sneaked up here; I needed to ask you something."

"What about?" I said confused.

"It's about your pregnancy I think we should tell everyone tonight."

"No" I said without skipping a beat.

"Why not? It is the perfect time, everybody is here."

"Eric I am only four weeks. I want to wait until I'm three months"

My soon to be husband pulled me into a hug.

"If it's a girl we could name her Chloe or Madeline." He whispered into my ear,

"How do you know it is a girl?"

He shrugged. "Just a feeling I have." He kissed me gently on my forehead. "I'll see you at the alter ."

He left leaving me alone with my own thoughts. A lot has changed over the past three years. We moved out of our small condo into a larger house in Coral Gables. When A.J. was one he had surgery for a cochlear implant. He and his brother Demetri have been going to baby ASL classes. A.J has also been going to speech therapy a few times a week. A.J uses ASL and speaks, but not as fluently as other three year olds. I remember the first time he hear our voices. H e was so shocked and happy tears sprang from his eyes. Both boys are happy and healthy.

I looked at myself one more time making sure everything was perfect before I grabbed my bouquet of yellow carnations. I left the master bedroom walking down the stairs. I stopped after the third step trying to listen to the whispers down below.

"Did you watch the news or see the paper" A voice I recognized as Natalia.

"No, I didn't get to read the paper this morning." My mom said.

"What happen?" Emily asked.

"… Escaped from jail. She killed a guard, stealing his gun. Her jail mate said she told her she still had some vendetta to finish."

I quietly walked down the rest of the steps wanting to know the woman they were talking about. "Who escaped from jail?"

The woman all turned to look at me.

"Calliegh you look beautiful." Emily said trying to distract me.

"Who were you talking about?" I demanded. They all exchanged looks.

"Samantha Owens escaped from prison last night." Natalia finally said.

"Oh" was all I could mange to spit out.

"We didn't want to worry you."

I waved my hand in dismissal. "I'm not worried" I lied, a lump forming in my throat. What is she was coming back for us? Would she kill us? I thought. She couldn't known where I live right?

"Are you ready to get this show are the road? All of the guests have arrived." Emily said.

I nodded forcing a small smile.

Natalia and Emily were my only bridesmaids wearing yellow dresses with a sweetheart neckline coming down to their knees. They held white carnations in their hands.

"Where is Walter, Ryan and the boys?" I said looking around the kitchen. Just then Demetri and A.J ran into the room squealing in delight as Ryan and Walter chased them. Both men had their arms out in front of them pretending to be zombies.

"Playtime is over boys." I said. Walter and Ryan were out of breathe panting. "I wonder who enjoyed it more them (pointing to the kids) or them (pointing to the grown men)?' Natalia commented laughing.

My boys looked identical in suits with yellow bow ties. To their curly short brown hair, tan skin and hazel eyes you couldn't tell them apart unless you saw Demetri's small mole on his cheek or A.J's hearing aid.

I bent down meeting with them at eye level. "Do you know what your jobs are today?" "Yes!" They cheered. "We hold the rings." A.J said softly. "Good job." I said handing them the pillows. "You guys are going to walk down the middle then stand next to Daddy."

Outside the violinist started to play "Marry You".

The children walked down the aisle first smiling from ear to ear. Natalia and Ryan walked down then Emily and Walter. Image a 6"5' guy and a petite 5"5' walking down together. I couldn't help but laugh. Both my parents linked their arms into mine. It felt like we were walking in slow motion. I reached where Eric stood. H, his best man, was standing behind him smiling. It the first time in a long time I saw that smile. My mom and dad kissed me prior to sitting down.

The ceremony was quick, the priest read from the bible saying a short sermon. Eric and I exchanged vows and slipped silver bands onto each other's fingers. "Do you, take Calliegh as your wife and best friend as long as you both shall live?" "I do" "Do you take Eric Delko as your husband and best friend as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked me. "I do!" "By the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Eric's soft lips pressed against mine joining us as husband and wife.

Hours later my arms were wrapped around my husband's neck slowly swaying back and forth to our first dance "I'm Yours" It sounded so beautiful on the violin. Eric sang along in my ear. "So I won't hesitate no more, no more. It can't wait. There's no need to complicate, our time is short. This is our fate I'm yours."

"Has anyone told you, you're a bad singer?" "You never had a problem with me singing your name while we're in bed." He smirked. I playfully shoved him. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

I was happy but had a nagging feeling something was going to happen. I couldn't shake it off. Eric sensed this. "What's wrong?" "It's nothing, I'm just over worrying."

The violinist stopped playing, the DJ played "Chasing the Sun." Emily interrupted us stealing me away. We danced crazed adrenaline pouring through my veins. As that song flowed into another two gun shots ran out. I froze trying to remember how distant they were. It wouldn't be farther then the front yard. I ran out to the front yard. Ryan and Demetri were lying on the grass. Demetri wailed in pain. I cuddled him assessing the damage. There was blood all over his tux and a hole where the bullet went in.

Demetri you're going to be ok. Ryan what happen?" I exclaimed tears falling from my face. "She was in the passenger side of the car, it was driving slow like she was looking for someone. The car stopped when she saw us. She shot me and Demetri then the car sped off." His breathes were distanced.

"Samantha did it. I'm so sorry." Ryan clutched his side.

The rest of the team raced to where we were. "Call 911!" "What happen?' Walter asked pulling out his phone dialing the digits. He walked away talking to the operator. I filled them in.

H put his shades on. "Everyone has to leave now it's a crime scene. Natalia and Walter process the scene. Eric and Calliegh change and go to the hospital. Update us when you get anything. The ambulance came taking away Ryan and Demetri. Eric told the entire guest to leave. I changed A.J into a t-shirt and jeans.

"Mommy what happen to Demi and Wyan?" A.J can't say Demetri so he called him Demi. "They got boo boos so they went to the doctor." "Will he fix them?" "Yes"

I paced around the hospital waiting room waiting for any new about Demetri or Ryan. They were still in surgery. We have been waiting for an hour. Eric distracted A.J coloring in a coloring book.

A nurse came in a little while later. "Are you the parents of Demetri Delko?"

"Yes" I said "Is he ok?"

"Demetri is in stable condition. Lucky the bullet missed all major organs and blood vessels. We did have to remove his appendix but other than that he is perfectly fine." I sighed in relief. "How is Ryan Wolfe?"

"Ryan is fine no serious injuries. He is resting now. You can see your son he is in room 523." The nurse said before leaving.

My phone buzzed. Text from H. I clicked it open. 'We found Samantha Owens she came back again we chased her down and got her. She's going in for murder 1 and two counts of attempted murder."

I sent a text back saying Ryan and Demetri were fine. "What did the text say?" Eric asked. "They caught Samantha, she is in custody now."

We went upstairs to see Demetri. He was watching Sponge Bob. A.J hugged his brother. "Demi!" He cried. Demetri pulled up his gown show his brother his injury. "I got a big boo boo." He signed. "Are you better?" "yes" he nodded. I kissed Demetri. 'I love you." I whispered. "I love you too." He looked at Eric repeating what he said to me. "I'm glad you're ok and safe. I love you guys and your mommy very much."

I smiled, I knew no matter what happen everything would be ok if I had my family by my side.
