So this time, everyone gets two chapters since both of them are shorter. Please read and review with thoughts on this story!
Gillian continued to stare at the calendar. Next Saturday was the day she'd been looking forward since she had gotten engaged to Cal. Next Saturday was April 3rd: their wedding day. Almost everything was in place: the bridal party, the wedding dress and tuxedo, the location, which was a lawn near an old Victorian palace often used for weddings, and the wedding cake was ordered.

"Gill?" asked someone interrupting Gillian's thoughts. She turned around to find Emily standing behind her, "You okay?" she asked.
"Yes of course Em. Just thinking about next week that's all," said Gillian with a smile.
Emily smiled too, "I can't wait either! Is Ria and Loker excited too?"
Gillian chuckled, "I don't think anybody's as excited as you are. And yes, that includes me and your Dad."
Emily bounced over and wrapped her arms around Gillian's midsection, rubbing for a few moments when she felt something different about it.
"Go ahead Em. I know you're dying to say it," said Gillian. Emily pulled back and looked at Gillian's abdomen, though Gillian was wearing a baggy top so nothing was extremely obvious.
"Gill, can I?" Emily asked hesitantly. Gillian nodded and Emily lifted Gillian's top slightly. Underneath was a slight bump, not a huge one, and those that didn't know better might not understand, but Emily knew what it meant, "Does Dad know?" she asked.
"No," Gillian answered, "And I don't really want him to know right now."
"Why not?" asked Emily.
"Because it can be a surprise next weekend," Gillian smirked.
"I'm sure Dad will figure it out by then but whatever. I won't say anything," said Emily.
