Chapter 12: Turn This House Into A Home
Lily POV
"I'm getting married today…" Mimi said for the hundredth time. We were currently in her loft, alone, getting things together before we left for the church. It was pretty early in the morning. "What if…"
" No! No "what ifs" now, your wedding is going to be perfect, Mimi" I smiled reassuringly. She took a deep breath.
"Your right. We should head out soon…" She said.
"Sure, let me get my heels from my loft. I'll be back." I ran downstairs to my room and grabbed my shoes for the wedding. Suddenly a wave of nausea ran of me, running to the bathroom I puked up the contents of my stomach. This has been happening the last couple mornings. Shit! I thought suddenly…what if…I'm pregnant? My eyes widened as fear coursed through me. Calm down, you don't know yet…I searched through my bathroom cupboards before finding a test I bought a while back, just in case.
"Lily, I'm heading downstairs now…" Mimi's voice at my door startled me.
"Y-yeah, I'll be there in a second." I shoved the box in my purse, grabbed my heels, and left to catch a cab with Mimi. We got to the church and met Joanne and Maureen in a room where we all could get dressed. We helped Mimi in to her dress before putting on our own dresses and doing our make up. Maureen did Mimi's make-up while I worked on her hair.
"Take a look…" Maureen excitedly pulled Mimi in front of the large mirror
"You look beautiful." Joanne said.
"I feel so…." Mimi stopped to control the tears the welled up in her eyes.
"Perfect?" I finished for her. She nodded holding back the tears.
"How are we doing on time?" Joanne checked the clock.
"We have a little under and hour now." I answered., suddenly remembering the test that was in my purse. I have to know now… "I'll be back." I slipped out of the room with my purse and walked to a nearby bathroom. Going into one of the stalls I took the test and waited. Time slowing ticked by, I felt my heart speed up as I looked at the finished stick.
It was positive.
"Oh god…" Mark and I never planned for this…how was I going to tell him. I shoved I grabbed a paper towel and wrapped the test up and shoved it back into my purse. I can't tell him now…god…what am I going to do? I took a deep shaky breath before quickly walking out of the bathroom. I, nervously, sped up and collided with someone when I rounded the corner. My purse fell out of my hands and some of the contents spilled out.
"Oh Lily...I'm so sorry!" Roger instantly went down to grab some of my items.
"No it's fine…you look great…" I gazed at his tux and then picked up some of my items. I gasped noticing the test was in clear view. Roger looked at me confused before gazing down at it.
"Lily? Your…" I quickly grabbed the test and the rest of my items. Roger pulled me to my feet, his eyes glanced down at my stomach. Shit…
"Don't tell Mark…not now…please…" I whispered, begging.
"Lily…I…you…" He stuttered unsure of what to say. "…ok." He said finally. I sighed relieved.
"Thank you so much." I hugged him.
"C-congratulations…" Was all he said. "When are you going to tell him…?"
"I don't know…soon…I'll…I'll figure it out….I hope." I said worried, Roger gave me one last hug.
"I'm sure you will…" He told me.
"You should go…" I smiled as he continued down the hall. I made my way back to the room where the girls were, acting like nothing was wrong. I couldn't help running my hand over my stomach. I'm carrying Marks baby… Soon it was time, taking our places, music began to play as the bridesmaids began to enter. The audience was small, consisting of Roger's band mates, some girls from the Cat Scratch Club, and a few other friends. Mark and Collins stood by Roger. I walked down the aisle smiling at Mark, who looked so handsome in his tux. I stood near the other bridesmaids as the bride's music began to play. All eyes were on Mimi as she descended down the aisle. I gazed at Roger who face was light up at the sight of her. The ceremony was beautiful at the rings and vows were exchanged. The bride and groom both had tears in their eyes, hell, half the people in the room were teary eyed. I smiled as they both said "I do" and soon shared there first kiss as husband and wife. They walked down the aisle together and soon the reception started.
"You look beautiful love…" Mark kissed me. I smiled.
"Thanks…Wasn't it so beautiful? I'm surprise you didn't have your camera with you…" I giggled.
"Roger would let me so-" A man with dark skin and a shaved head walked in then. I recognized him as Benny. We've only met once when I bought the apartment.
"Here's your camera, safe and sound, as you made me promise fifty times." Benny joked handing over the camera.
"Thanks man…" Mark took it carefully. "Benny, have you met my girlfriend? Lily Foster…Benny Coffin." Mark introduced us, I shook Benny's hand smiling.
"Yeah, we've met once." I replied.
"Yes, I sold one of my lofts to you. Nice to see you again." He smiled. "So…girlfriend? Way to go, lover boy." He teased Mark. Mark instantly made a face "I'm just kidding man, I'm happy for you two, enjoy the night…" He walked away. I turned to Mark.
"He's not so bad…" I said thoughtfully.
"Yeah…Benny's a good guy. He just…strayed off the path for a while…" Mark replied.
"We should go sit down." I kissed him and walked off, taking my seat at a table. The reception started with beautiful speeches from close friends. Mark put a lot of thought into his and showed the film he made just for them. It was beautiful with all kinds of clips of Roger and Mimi together along with other memories of the good times we all shared. Then we moved to Roger and Mimi cutting the cake. Mimi lifted a small piece of cake to Roger's mouth before playfully smearing it on his face. I laughed as he got revenge on her, doing the same thing. They kissed happily.
"And now the bride and groom with share their first dance as husband and wife. A slow song started as Roger led Mimi to the dance floor. They held each other lovingly, while swaying to the music. Soon another slow song started as more couples took to the floor.
"May I have this dance?" I smiled as Mark held his hand out to me.
"Why, yes you may." I grinned taking his hand. I put one hand on his shoulder as he put his on my waist. He took my other hand and laced are finger as we moved to the song. I sighed in content and kissed him before putting my head on his shoulder.
"I love you Mark." I whispered.
"I love you too…" He held me closer as we swayed together. I want to tell him, but I can't now… I close my eyes, listening to the words of the song.
"I'm not meant to live alone,
turn this house into a home,
when I climb the stairs and turn the key.
Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me…"
I felt a tear rolled down my cheek. How perfect is this song for us…When it ended, I slowly pulled away from Mark.
"Why are you crying?" He asked noticing the tears on my face.
"I'm just…so happy right now." I smiled as he wiped away my tears with his thumb.
"Me too love…" He kissed me, leading me away from the dance floor. I could tell the rest of this night is going to be amazing. I decided to put of telling him till later. I'll find the perfect time too…eventually. I cleared my thoughts and enjoyed the rest of the night.
