A month had passed since Shasta and it was the day of Grace's moms wedding. Grace was the head bridesmaid and was in charge of getting Hayley and Kyle ready. Patrick and Wayne were both helping out too and Teresa was trying to get the boys ready. The ceremony was a mere hour away and Grace and Teresa still weren't ready. Grace was trying to convince Hayley, who was the flower girl that it was mommy's special day and it was real important that she dressed nicely for mommy and that included wearing the sparkly silver ballet flats and the silver dress with white sash. After Hayley had simply refused and hidden in the clothes dryer, she went to find her mom to see what she could do. She walked into the dressing room where her mom stood in a floor length white gown that was tight to her waist and then flowed out.

'Wow mom, you look amazing' Grace said, awestruck

'Thanks love, is Hayley not getting dressed?' she asked, noticing the dress in Grace's hand

'Yea, she refuses to wear it'

'Tell her she can have as much cake as she wants and she can wear fairy wings or something, whatever her latest job interest is'

'A doctor'

'Ok, she can wear a stethoscope or whatever doctors use'

'Ok, thanks mom, you look gorgeous and Chris is one lucky guy'

'Thanks Grace, is Kyle ready?'

'Yes, he was the easy one'

'Of course'

'Bye mom' Grace said, walking out and going into the laundry room

'Hayley, I know you are in the dryer, come on out please, and if you wear your pretty dress and shoes, you can eat as much cake as you want and wear your stethoscope' Grace bargained

Hayley poked her head around the corner

'Really?' she asked, unsure whether it was a joke or not

'Yea, course, you going to come out or what?'

'OK' she said, slipping out with ease

'Good girl, now come on' Grace said, leading her sister to her room to get her accessories and get her dressed

Thankfully Hayley complied and got ready, it took the tiger tail as well for Hayley to let Grace put flowers in her hair and a empty box of fireworks to make Hayley promise not to get dirty. Apparently, Hayley wanted to be a box of fireworks who was a vet for tigers. Grace went back into her own room where Teresa was in her dress.

'Hey' she said as Grace came in

'Hey, you look nice'

'Thanks, I'm sure you will to'

'Thanks, oh, and next time something like this happens, I'm not getting Hayley ready, she is now allowed to eat as much cake as she wants, and is wearing a tiger tail, a doctor stethoscope and a empty box that the fireworks came in'

'Um, ok, she has issues that girl'

'No' Grace said sarcastically

The hour that they had left passed very quickly and before they knew it, they were out the front of their house, as the wedding was being held in the back yard. Hayley had gotten dirty and had to take the fireworks box off her head. The wedding march started and Hayley led the parade, skipping down the aisle, throwing flower petals and lightly singing. Teresa, Grace and Kate, the maid of honour, followed after, and finally, the bride came in, and at that moment, when she saw the light in Chris's eyes, that he was the one, that he really, truly, loved her mom. Hayley already liked him and was calling him dad. The vows were exchanged and the rings swapped and cake cut, so the 4 teenagers left their siblings to run wild with various cousins and little kids. They sat up on the roof, like they usually did, Grace in Wayne's arms and Teresa in Patrick's. They were looking at clouds when Wayne spoke up

'You guys, I got something to tell you all, and it isn't a very easy thing to say'

'Go on' Grace encouraged

'I, I, I'm moving'

A/N gah! Everything is crazy at the moment, it would make my day if you review =] this was mainly a filler chapter, next chapter is where it starts to get messy =] oh, and Chris is definitely for goods, hence the football coach thing… haha made a mistake in the first upload of this, and veras333 pointed it out and extended the story, so thanks to her! =]
