Sorry for the late update! Please read and review! Thank you!
The guests along with the wedding party waited anxiously in the reception room for the couple of honor to arrive. The moment Cal and Gillian entered the room, they received loud cheers and applause.
"And congratulations to the couple of the hour!" shouted Loker as Emily, Ria, and Reynolds cheered loudly. They all could tell Cal and Gillian loved and hated the attention at the same time. The wedding party took their place at the head table and the waiters poured the champagne for everyone and ginger ale for Gillian and Emily. Loker clinked his glass to get everyone's attention, "If I could have everyone's attention please? Dr. Lightman, other Dr. Lightman, I'm pretty sure everyone in the room knows how happy you both are today. When Cal told everyone he was going to pop the question, nobody had any doubts that Gill would say yes. None of us are still 100% sure why she did," said Loker and everyone including the said couple laughed, "But never the less, here we are today, celebrating together. And now to the maid of honor, Emily Melissa Lightman."
Emily stood up and held her glass of ginger ale in the air, "Dad, Gillian, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment. Dad, it's so great to see you happy. And Gillian, I couldn't be happier to have you as my Step-Mother." She looked at Loker, "Here's to you both and a happy marriage," they said simultaneously.
"To a happy marriage," everyone chorused. The waiter passed out the food to which Gillian was more than happy to begin eating.
"We better watch out for my wife who's eating for two here," chuckled Cal.
"Oh Cal," said Gillian as she scorned him playfully, "Sorry if I'm starving."
"Don't worry love, I'm just teasing," said Cal.
"By the way, when are you going to tell everyone, you know?" asked Ria.
Cal and Gillian looked at each other. They didn't necessarily want to say anything at the reception but it would be a perfect opportunity since both of their families were together, "I don't know love. Maybe after we dance a little or when we go off for our honeymoon."
"I can't wait!" said Emily excitedly, "No parents for a week!"
"Not so fast Em. You'll be with your Mum," warned Cal.
"I know I just wanted to see your reaction," said Emily.
"Speaking of dancing," said Loker and went over to the DJ.
The DJ took the microphone and said, "Okay this special song goes out to a special couple. You know who you are."
Journey's Open Arms started playing and Gillian looked at Cal with tears in her eyes. Though they had picked out their wedding song together, it still brought tears to her eyes to think that she was now about to dance with her best friend, her husband, her everything, "You ready love?" asked Cal.
Gillian nodded and he helped her up out of her seat. They walked to the center of the room and wrapped their arms around each other, Gillian's head resting on Cal's shoulder and Cal's hands on the small of her back. The couple savored the moment both thinking how they could've possibly done this once before with someone else other than the opposite. When the song was over, the pair heard clinking glasses. They turned to find Emily and Loker clinking their glasses. Cal and Gillian turned to face each other once again before Cal cupped Gillian's face with his right hand and pulled Gillian closer to him with his left hand. The pair kissed much to everyone's delight. "I love you Gillian Lightman," said Cal. He loved the sound of that: Gillian Lightman.
"I love you too." The DJ put on a floor dance to which everyone else went to the floor but Cal and Gillian held back. Their main friends knew Cal wasn't much of a dancer and Gillian didn't want to hurt the baby in her so they didn't say anything. Soon the couple cut the cake to which Gillian put some of the frosting on Cal's nose and vice versa. Gillian tossed out her bouquet to which Emily caught it freaking Cal out.
"Your turn," said Gillian smirking at him.
"Love, if all of this nonsense rings true my daughter will be the next one to get married," said Cal worriedly. As the couple was about to leave, the rest of the party goers gathered outside the reception hall. Before Cal and Gillian headed to the 'Just Married' limousine, they stopped in front of everyone, "Everyone listen up! Before Gill and I depart we have one more announcement!" Emily, Loker, Ria, and Reynolds tried to hide their smiles.
Cal smiled at Gillian and squeezed her hand before Gillian took a deep breath and said, "I'm pregnant."
Many people looked at each other and then at the couple before they started throwing their rice cheering and saying their congratulations. Cal and Gillian smiled once again and walked through the shower. Cal helped Gillian into the limo before getting in behind her, the couple waving their farewells to everyone as they pulled away.
Once a fare distance from the reception hall, Cal turned to Gillian and rested his hand on her swell, "Well love, I think they took it pretty well."
"You think?" chuckled Gillian and leaned in to kiss Cal, "Happy wedding day baby."
"Same to you love," said Cal.
"Now if you don't mind, when we get to Hawaii, I'm going to rock your world," said Gillian, "Or we could close the windows and shades from the driver and you can take me right here."
Cal smiled at her mischievously, "Abso-bloody-lutely," he groaned and began to take his wife other than on their honeymoon.
