It's now Wednesday morning, the day that Aly's getting married to Mike...again. She's just laying there because she can't sleep any longer but she's too comfortable to move. I surprisingly had no trouble sleeping, and I'm still sleeping peacefully as she lays in the bed awake. After a bit she starts to get restless and sits up. She decides to get dressed, her shirt being white with a crown on the front and 'Bride' underneath the crown. Eventually I start to stir, stretching and yawning after I wake up.
"Morning." She smiles.
"Morning...you're excited...I can tell."
Her smile widens and she laughs lightly.
"Of course."
"Such a busy day ahead of us."
"Mmhmm. We've got breakfast, then we're going to the spa for a while, we're getting our nails done, then lunch. After that we get our stuff and go over to the bridal suite where we'll have our makeup and hair done and then we relax until its time to get ready."
"Now you know how excited I was last month." I laugh.
"Yeah." She nods.
"So, when are we going to breakfast?"
"In about an hour."
"I guess I should get up and get dessed then."
"I'm going out on the balcony to read." Aly says, picking up a book and her iPod along with her phone.
She sticks her feet in some white flip flops.
"Alright." I nod, sliding out of the bed.
She also grabs some sunglasses since it seems pretty bright outside. She goes out on the balcony and shuts the door behind her before getting comfortable in one of the lounge chairs. Before she could even start to read, her phone goes off signaling a text message. She looks amused, picking up her phone and looking at the message. He says taht he can't sleep anymore and that he misses seeing her.
"Awww." She murmurs quietly.
'I miss you too. It was weird not to wake up to the belly rubbing.' She replies.
'I'll definitely make up for that after everything today.' He says back.
'I'm sure you will.' She responds, giggling.
'So, what're you up to?'
'Well I was going to read out here on the balcony but somebody texted me before I could open my book.'
'Oops, my bad.'
'It's okay.'
'Well I won't keep you from your reading.'
'I love you.'
'Love you too.'
She sets her phone aside and picks up her ipod, getting that going before she gets her book and starts to read After I get changed and everything, I come out to my phone going off as well. But Alex was calling me instead of texting me. I shake my head and laugh, as I go and pick my phone up and answer it.
"You know you can come in here and see me. There's nothing saying you can't. Only Aly and Mike can't see each other."
"The door's locked."
"Aly and her precautions. Give me a second."
I hang up with him and go over, unlocking the door for him. Almost immediately I'm engulfed in a hug.
"Someone missed sleeping in the same room with me last night." I laugh.
"Yes I did." Alex nuzzles my neck.
"Well don't worry you get to be back in the same room with me tonight."
"And you get me to yourself until Monday." I add.
"I can't wait for that."
"I know."
"But I'm leaving with Aly in about an hour, because we're going to breakfast. We're gonna be gone all day." I add.
"Awww."
"I'll have my phone on all day though, so you can at least talk to me on that."
"True."
"But the time away from me will be worth it."
"Right." He kisses my neck gently.
"Any distractions though will have to wait until later."
"Darn."
"You'll live." I giggle.
"Yeah yeah yeah..."
"Love you too."
Alex pulls his head back and kisses me.
"I do love you. So much."
"I know, you show it every day."
Alex just smiles. He stays in the room for the whole hour, making the time he has with me last until Aly and I have to leave. Eventually the hour is up and Aly walks back inside to see him still in the room.
"Awww." She giggles.
"He couldn't stay away." I snicker.
"I see that." She laughs.
"But DC, you're gonna have to let her go, we have to get going to breakfast and everything."
"Awwwww." Alex whines.
"Sorry." She shrugs.
"Just remember...tonight and up until Monday you get me all to yourself. Just keep that in mind and you should survive the day." I add.
He sighs and nods.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
Then he lets go of me and goes back into the room, closing the connecting door behind him.
"Too cute." Aly giggles.
"I know."
"Alright. Let's get going before the moms send out a search party or something." She says, laughing a little.
"Right, that would be bad." I laugh too, grabbing whatever I need.
Aly gets hers and we head downstairs to meet up with the rset of the girls. We find them standing by the entrace talking amongst each other, and we walk over. We get greeted excitedly.
"Aww, look at how much you've grown!" Mike's mom gushes to Aly, putting her hand on her stomach.
"I know." She smiles.
"Jellybean's growing in there. Oh did she tell you that she and Mike made Alex and myself the godparents?" I add.
"No, that's so sweet!"
"We're happy to be the godparents." I smile.
"Awww." She smiles, hugging me.
"Well we have a breakfast to get to. Shall we get going?" She asks once she pulls away.
All of us agree and we go out to get in the cars. We drive around until we find a place for breakfast, and then we park and head inside, being seated. The waiter takes our drink orders, along with the orders of anybody that already knows what they want. After we all decide on what we want, the waiter walks away from the table and we all talk amongst ourselves as we wait for everything. A little while passes and the waiter starts to bring the food out. Each plate is placed down in front of everyone and the drinks as well. That's when the smell of bananas reaches my nose. I don't think nothing of it at first, but then my stomach starts turning and I get a sick feeling. That's when I get up and go straight for the bathroom. Aly gets up and follows me, looking concerned.
"Hey, are you alright?" She asks, standing outside the stall that I'm in.
After a minute I step out, a weird look on my face.
"Yeah, I think so."
"I don't have a cold or anything...at least I don't feel like I have one."
Things start to click on her head.
"What happened right before you started feeling sick?"
"I had a strong smell of bananas reach my nose."
A grin starts to cross her face.
"What...why are you looking at me like that..." I look at her strangely.
"I think somebody needs to take a pregnancy test." She smirks.
"What...I can't be...are you serious?"
"That's the exact same thing that happened to me the morning I found out mine. I smelled the orange juice and got sick."
"Well if that's the case, I can't go back out there with the smell of the bananas."
"We'll switch her spot with someone else so that you aren't so close to the smell. You should be alright after that."
"Alright." I nod.
I wash up and we go back out. Aly gets the one who has the banana pancakes to switch spots with someone farther down the table.
"Better?" She asks me as I sit back down.
"Yeah, that's better."
"Good."
Then we start to eat our food, everyone else talking amongst themselves while I'm somewhat quiet.
"You'll be fine. He'll be excited, honestly." Aly whispers to me quietly.
"We still need to get the test just to be sure." I say back, just as quietly.
"We can make a quick stop before we go to the spa if you want."
"Yeah, let's do that."
"Okay." She nods.
We all finish our food at different times and once we were all set to go, we paid for the food and then we got up and headed out to the cars to head to the spa.
"Hey Mom, we need to make a stop at a drug store or something." Aly says as we get into the car.
"Oh sure, no problem."
"What for?" Gwen asks curiously.
"We just need to pick something up real quick."
"Oh okay."
We pull away from the curb and head off to stop by the drug store real quick. When we get there, Aly and I get out and head inside. We find the tests and grab a few, paying for them.
"You want to duck into the bathroom and take them now or wait?" Aly asks.
"I think I'd feel a lot better getting them over with now."
"Okay, to the bathroom it is." Aly says.
We head over to the bathroom and I head inside while she stays outside the door, waiting as I take the tests. A little time passes and she sees the door open a crack. She pushes it open and peers at me.
"Well?"
I just nod, and hand her the tests for her to look at herself. She sees they're positive and she smiles.
"Aww Dolce." She reaches out and hugs me.
"I just can't believe it..." I mumble.
"I told you it was going to happen soon." She giggles.
"Yeah you did. Didn't know it'd be this soon, on this day."
"Best wedding present ever." She laughs.
"Well you're welcome." I giggle.
"Alright put those in the box and let's go. They're probably starting to wonder about us."
"Right." I nod, going back into the bathroom to retrieve the box and then coming back out.
Then we head out of the store and get back into the backseat of the car.
"Everything okay?" My mom asks.
"Yeah, everything's fine."
Aly giggles and I elbow her.
"Ow." She snickers.
I give her a look before we pull away from the curb again and head off to the spa.
"Sorry." She giggles.
Once we pull up to the spa, we see everyone else waiting outside for us. We all get out of the car and head inside. We check in and they show us where to go. All of us get massages and several other things done. After doing everything there, we go back out to the cars and we go off again, this time to get our nails done. Half of the group gets their manicures first, the others getting the pedicure first. We're in the group getting pedicures and Aly's sitting there reading her book while trying not to laugh and move her feet since they're the most ticklish part of her. I see her trying not to laugh and I just grin, and shake my head amusedly.
"Shut up. I can see you grinning over there."
"Can't hide anything from you can I?" I snicker.
"Not really."
"Can't blame me fore trying."
She rolls her eyes lightly. Then once we were all done with that we switched and moved onto the manicures. After a while, everyone is done. We go somewhere for lunch before we head back to the hotel to get anything we need before we go to the bridal suite at the Disney park. Once we get there, we go to have our makeup and our hair done, before we have to just hang around and relax. Everyone's having their hair and makeup done and the photographer that was there when we arrived is taking pictures of all this. Aly's sitting in the chair while hers is being done, wearing her silky robe that said 'Bride' on the back since she changed out of her clothes so there was less chances of her hair and make up getting messed up before she got her dress on.
"Awww I love your hair." I smile, once they had finished with it.
"Me too." She says with a smile after admiring it in the mirror.
"It's gonna look even more amazing when you're in your dress."
She nods, glancing over at where he dress is hanging.
"I can see Mike's face now once you walk down that aisle." I smile.
She smiles at the thought.
"This is so exciting."
"I know."
"I can't wait."
She nods, smiling while she rubs her stomach absentmindedly. Time seemed to drag as we sat in the room and relaxed, and of course Aly being excited and everything about the wedding didn't really help with the passing of time.
"Ughhh, this is taking foreverrrrr." Aly whines.
"I knowwww." I add.
Everybody else just laughs.
"Just don't think about it. You keep thinking about it, time will go by slower."
"Can't help it." She pouts.
"Try talking to Mike, maybe that will help." I say, looking up from my phone myself.
She reaches for her phone, tapping out a message.
'Time is dragging by. I miss you!'
'Awwww, I miss you too' He replies back.
'I can't wait to see you.'
'I can't wait to see you either.'
'I'm so ready for this to start, to be your wife all over again.'
'I'm ready for it to start too, to be your husband all over again.'
'Are you in your dress yet?' He asks.
'Nope. Just wearing a robe for now.'
'Oh reeeaaallly?'
'Mmhmm.'
'Now I really wish I could see you.'
'I'd take a picture for you but that would be bad luck, sorry.'
'Oh by the way, got some big news this morning.'
'What's that?'
'I'm not the only one preggo around anymore.'
'Who else is?'
'Dolce. And don't you dare tell Alex either, she needs to tell him herself.'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Good.'
She keeps talking to Mike to help the time pass by quicker. Thankfully it does and it's time for all of us to get ready.
'Gotta go. Its time to get ready.'
'Yeah same here, I'll see you soon.'
'Love you.'
'Love you too.'
Aly puts her phone down and waits for people to finish so that she can be helped into her dress. The moms and myself come over to help her once we were all set. She gets all laced up and sighs in relief that it fits.
"You look amazing."
She smiles as one of the ladies helping us secures her veil in place.
"You definitely look like a princess." I smile.
She blushes lightly.
"Thanks."
"All ready to get married...again?"
She beams and nods.
"I think everyone's sitting down now out there. Ready to go?" Her mom asks.
Before she can reply, there's a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." I say, walking over to the door and opening it to reveal Alex.
He smiles at me and kisses my cheek.
"Hi love."
"Hey." I smile, and move out of the way so he can come in.
Aly turns and sees him.
"Hey DC."
"You look amazing Windy." He grins.
"Thanks." She smiles.
"I have a couple things for you..."
"Ooh." She looks interesting as she picks up the bottom of her dress and walks over.
"First...this is from me." He says, handing you a large, flat, wrapped box.
She opens it and finds a gorgeous painting of a scene from the Little Mermaid movie.
"Oh my goodness. That's so pretty! Thank you." She sets it down and hugs Alex.
"You're welcome. I know Mike's looking for a place in Vegas, and I thought this would be perfect to put in the place when he gets it."
"You're right." She nods.
"And second, this is from Mike." He says, taking a smaller box out of his pocket and hands it to her.
She opens that and finds a Disney bracelet inside.
"Awww. Cute. Tell him I said thank you."
"I will." He nods and grins.
Everyone else has gone outside by now to begin heading over to the ceremony area, leaving me, Aly and Alex in the room. She looks at me pointedly, silently saying that I should tell him my news. I nod, before turning to Alex.
"Um Alex? I have something to tell you."
He looks at me curiously.
"I don't know if you wanna sit or stand for when I tell you the news...up to you."
Now he's looking confused.
"Okay we'll just stay standing. Um...well first of all at breakfast this morning, I got sick."
"Are you okay?" He asks, frowning.
"Yeah I'm fine. I only got sick after smelling the scent of bananas, which is odd I know because I never get sick from the smell of certain food."
Alex looks puzzled but on the verge of getting what I'm trying to say.
"After breakfast we stopped by the drugstore and bought some tests...and I took them right after we bought them to get them out of the way..."
That's when it clicks and his eyes get big.
"...they were all positive." I finish.
Alex immediately pulls me into a huge hug, kissing all over my face.
"Told you he'd be excited." Aly giggles.
I laugh.
"And your feelings are never wrong." I add.
"Not often anyway. Congratulations by the way, both of you. I'm excited not to be the only preggo around here." She laughs.
"Even though you are farther along than me clearly." I point out.
"I know but still."
"Definitely gonna have to schedule a doctor's appointment to see how far along I am though."
"Right."
"Your own little Jellybean." She giggles.
Alex and I smile at each other.
"I'd love to let the lovefest go on but its time for me to get married." Aly adds.
"Right. You gotta get back out there Alex." I point out.
"Right. I'll see you both in a few." He says.
"Love you." He adds, kissing me lightly.
"Love you too."
Alex puts his hand over my stomach briefly and then hugs both of us before he leaves.
"Now he's gonna have the magnetic hand." I laugh.
"I told you." She laughs.
"So much to do now. Schedule the appointment, and now I have to call Steph and tell her about this."
"You'll have time while Mike and I are gone."
"I know, we'll miss you when we're at the house shows."
"We'll miss you too." Aly says, picking up the bottom of her dress a bit so she doesn't trip going down the steps outside.
"But you have fun on the honeymoon." I grin, walking with her.
"Oh I will." She laughs.
Then we reach the top of the stairs and her dad had spotted us, so he walked up to join her.
"Hi daddy." She smiles.
"You look beautiful." He smiles back.
"Thank you." She replies as they start down the stairs.
We get to the bottom, and I hug her before going to join the other bridesmaids, and we walk down the aisle first. Aly waits with her dad, shifting restlessly. Pretty soon we all get down the aisle and stand at the alter, waiting. Then the bridal march starts playing and Aly and her dad walk to the beginning of the aisle before starting down it. She locks eyes with Mike and smiles. He watches her with a big smile on his face. Aly and her dad get to the end and he gives her over to Mike. He goes to sit down and she stands in front of Mike, eyes still locked with his. She hands me her bouquet and lets Mike hold both of her hands.
"You look amazing." He smiles, before the ceremony is started.
"Thank you." She smiles back.
Then they fall quiet as the ceremony starts, and she keeps her eyes locked with Mike's. The minister goes through the beginning of the ceremony until he gets to the vows, which he tells everyone that we've written our own. Mike says his first.
"Alyssa, before I met you I thought my world had everything I needed to be happy. I had nothing else to compare it to, then you walked into my life and everything changed. I realized how empty my world was without you in it, and my old life was no longer capable of making me happy… not without you. I love everything about you, Alyssa. I love the way you challenged me like no one ever has. I love the way you look at me like no one ever has, and I love the way you love me like no one ever has. I can't imagine spending my life without you, and now I won't have to. I love you."
She starts to get teary eyed and sniffles as she smiles at him before beginning her own.
"Mike, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I thank God every day for bringing us together. You are the love of my life and my best friend. Because of you, I am a better person today. I promise to always love you, honor you, respect you and cherish you. I promise to always be faithful to you. I will trust you with my heart and with my life. I promise I will never give up on you and will always be there for you, no matter what life brings our way. I promise to accept you just as you are. I promise to always support you and encourage you. I will always believe in you. Thank you for choosing to share your life with me as my husband. I give you my heart, and it's yours to keep for the rest of my life."
He squeezes her hands and she squeezes back, both of them smiling. Then the minister continues and goes through the 'I do's', before pronouncing them husband and wife, and telling Mike that he can kiss her now. She squeals as Mike pulls her to him and kisses her deeply. Everyone claps as he kisses her, and they continue after he pulls away.
"Love you." She says breathlessly.
"Love you too...forever."
"Forever." She repeats, stealing another kiss.
Then once they pull away, she laces her fingers with his and I hand her back her bouquet, before they both walk down the aisle together. They kiss a few times as they go down the aisle. Once they walk away from the aisle, everyone follows behind them, heading to the reception. The wedding party gets pulled aside for pictures. After the wedding party pictures were done, we all walked off to head to the reception, so that they can take their own pictures. Their first picture is on the steps. Mike stands at the bottom while she stands on the first step, his hands on her hips while she cups his face and kisses him. Then they move from the stairs. Their next picture is of Mike standing behind her while her head is turned to the side as he kisses her head, both of them with their eyes closed. Now the photographer has them face each other. She has her right hand on his side, her left holding the skirt of her dress while Mike holds her face in his hands and leans in like he's going to kiss her. Mike does end up kissing her and they reluctantly break apart to walk towards the wall for the next picture. The photographer has Aly lean against the wall and Mike stands super close to her with his arms around her waist and her hands resting on his upper arms. Her head is turned to the right and Mike leans in, kissing her neck as she kind of laughs softly. Mike doesn't want to stop kissing her neck until she pushes him away.
"Not now." She laughs.
He pouts but listens. The photographer now has Mike stand against the wall with her standing in front of him, their hands on each other's sides and he kisses her forehead while she leans into him. For the next picture she has them standing together, tilted towards each other. Mike has a hand on Aly's stomach and she puts hers on top of his, the two of them locking eyes with their heads close together. Mike again ends up kissing her once that picture was over, before they had to move onto the next. Their last picture is of Mike dipping her backwards while kissing her. Mike pulls her back up and releases her. She starts to hed off towards the way they're leaving but Mike grabs her hand and tugs her back towards the railing over looking the castle and water.
"I have a surprise for you." Mike says.
She looks at him curiously and then a loud noise happens. She jumps and looks back towards the castle and sees a firework exploding in the sky.
"Oh my gosh." She gasps.
He looks at her and smiles. She turns and kisses him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, I love you."
"I love you too."
Then they turn and watch as more fireworks go off. During the fireworks Mike occasionally steals kisses. Then they do the finale, lost of fireworks going off close together. The last of them fades away and everyone watching claps and cheers.
"Ready to go have some fun now?"
"Mmhmm." She nods and smiles at him.
He laces his fingers with hers and they head off to the reception. They get comfortable in the limo and Mike's hands are on her stomach as usual.
"Missed Jellybean huh?"
"So much."
She smiles and snuggles into him.
"At least now I'm not the only one who has a little Jellybean." She giggles.
"Kind of crazy to think now both of you are pregnant." Mike shakes his head a little.
"I know. And she found out pretty much the same way I did. She got sick from smelling something. Hers is bananas."
"So now we can't be around oranges or bananas."
"Yup."
"Well at least we know this time."
"Mmhmm." She agrees, nuzzling his neck.
After a bit, they pull up to the reception area and Mike opens the door to get our first. Then he waits outside as she scooches over a bit and he helps her out. She steals a kiss this time and then they go inside, waiting just out of sight until the DJ announces them. When they walk in everyone cheers and claps, and just like at my wedding, Zack is the only one who's fist pumping. She can't help but laugh. Mike and her smile and wave at everyone. Mike then leads her over to the sweetheart table that is just for the two of them.
"Oh wow." She remarks as they reach the table.
"You like it?"
"I love it." She kisses him gently.
"I knew you would." He smiles.
They both sit down and wait for the food to be brought out. Mike of course scoots his chair a little closer to hers. She laughs quietly when she notices. He kisses her cheek and once again, rests a hand on her stomach. She kisses his cheek in return and she puts her hand on his until their food comes. The food is brought over to them before they start bringing it over to everyone else. We all talk amongst ourselves as we eat. Then it's time for the cake so Mike and Aly get up and make their way over to it.
"Don't get any ideas involving the cake." She giggles.
Mike just grins and puts his hand on hers as they cut the piece of cake. They place it on a plate after cutting it, and he grabs some frosting off of it suddenly and out of nowhere wipes it on her nose.
"Hey!"
"Oops."
She narrows her eyes at him.
"My finger slipped."
"Sure it did." She says sarcastically.
She wipes it off her nose and smears it across his lips, kissing him afterwards. Everyone goes 'awwwww', and Mike doesn't seem to want to stop kissing her back. She finally gets free.
"Later." She pecks him on the lips.
"Okay." He chuckles.
The cake is then served and everyone is sitting there, eating. After the cake, it was time for the dancing to start. Aly smiles as Mike gets up and he holds his hands out to her. She takes them and gets up herself, letting him lead her out to the dance floor. She looks up at Mike with a big smile as 'May I' by Trading Yesterday starts to play. He smiles back and pulls her close after they get onto the dance floor, and she rests her head on his shoulder. They dance together peacefully, occasionally stealing kisses and whispering 'I love you's.' Soon other people get up from where they were sitting and join them both on the dance floor. Everyone's dancing and having a good time. After a while Aly decides to take a breather and go sit down. Mike follows her and sits down next to her, and I get up from the table I was at with Alex and go over to them.
"Hey Carls." Mike greets me, putting his arm around Aly as she leans into him.
"Hey." I greet back.
"Feeling okay?" He asks.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Good to hear."
"Yeah, as long as I don't smell bananas I'll be good." I laugh.
"Oranges and now bananas." Mike chuckles.
"I know." I snicker.
"You two are too much alike for your own good." Mike laughs.
"Well so are you and DC." Aly adds.
I nod in agreement.
"Yeah, now he's gonna have the magnetic hand." I add, laughing and she laughs too.
"I told you." She repeats from earlier in the day.
"I know you did." I reply.
"Speaking of..." She trails off as she looks behind me and sees Alex walking over.
Then I feel his arms wrap around me. He kisses behind my ear and then rests his head against mine.
"Hi DC." Aly giggles.
"Got lonely already didn't you?" I laugh.
"Yes I did." He says.
"Awww." Aly grins.
"How cute." She adds, laughing.
"He's not the only one being cute." I say, referring to Mike with his arm around her and she just smiles.
"I know." She says, reaching up and kissing Mike's jaw.
"Come on...let's go dance." Alex says, starting to pull me backwards.
"Oh alright. Bye guys." I reply.
"Bye." Mike and Aly laugh.
"Just think in a couple hours or so, we'll be on the plane and on our way to where I chose to go for the honeymoon." Mike says.
"I can't wait to find out where we're going. Are you sure you can't tell me yet?"
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now would it?"
"No." She pouts.
"Then you have to wait."
She pouts more.
"Sorry. You can last a couple more hours or so. Just focus on having fun."
She sighs and nods.
"You can go dance with your mom or something you know. I'll be alright."
"You sure?"
"Yes, go." She kisses him gently.
"Alright. Love you."
"Love you too."
Then he gets up and goes over to his mom, and then goes to dance with her. She watches them with a smile, rubbing her stomach lightly. Then Zack comes over with Charity to congratulate her of course.
"Hey you two." She greets them, smiling.
"Hey, congratulations." Zack says, hugging her.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Hi Charity, how are you?" Aly asks as she hugs her.
"I'm good, thanks for asking."
"How's the wedding planning?"
"It's going well, I think from coming to your wedding and Carly's, we've gotten some ideas of what we want to do."
"Well that's a good to hear." She smiles.
"Yeah, I love the colors."
"Thanks. Blue is our favorite color and purple is also one of my favorites so it was only natural for those to be in our wedding." She explains.
"Yeah, it's Zacktastic. Woo woo woo you know it."
"Oh Zack. don't ever change." She laughs.
"I won't." He laughs.
"We'll talk to you later, come on babe this is a great song!" Zack adds, pulling on Charity as the song changes.
Alright alright, slow down." She laughs.
"I'll see you later."
"Bye." Aly laughs.
Then John walks up, and sits down next to her.
"Hey Alyssa." He smiles, hugging her.
"Hi." She replies, hugging back.
"So can I go back to calling you Boo now? Or no?"
"I guess so."
"Awww, I love you Boo." He chuckles.
"...love you too."
"...Sully." She adds quietly.
"You called me Sully again." He grins.
"Well, all this free time now that I can't wrestle gave me the time to think about what happened. For a while I didn't think I was going to be able to forgive you and ever get back to this point but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was holding a grudge. People make mistakes. God knows if I held grudges like that with everyone, Mike and I wouldn't be here right now." She shrugs.
"Well I'm glad you forgive me."
She just smiles a little.
"And I'm glad you weren't fired." She adds.
"Though I didn't think you would be. You're too important to the company." She continues.
"True, but things can happen no matter how important I am to the company."
"True. But even if you did end up going somewhere else, we'd still be in touch. I mean look at me and Jeff, Matt, and Shannon."
"Did I hear a certain someone say our names?" They both hear the voice of Matt.
"Yes Matty." Aly laughs.
"John." Matt says and they do the man hug thing.
"Hey, how's it going?" John replies.
"Good. Taking some time off of TNA, but good."
Aly smiles as Matt reaches down to hug her.
"How're you doing?" He asks.
"I'm doing good." She replies.
"And the baby?"
"Baby is good too. We've been calling the baby Jellybean since we won't be able to find out what we're having for a couple more weeks."
"Awww." Jeff says.
"Why Jellybean?" Jeff asks curiously as he hugs her next.
"Well a majority of my cravings have been sweets so Dolce suggested the name Jellybean and it stuck."
"That's cute." Shannon adds
"You think that's cute, you should see when Mike's around. His hands are like magnets." She laughs.
"Aha, I know that all too well." Jeff chuckles.
"I bet you do."
"How are things with you?" She adds.
"Things are good."
"Besides my court date being moved again, and TNA wants me to go to rehab."
"Oh."
"So much stuff going on."
"Sounds like it."
"Everything should be fine though, I hope."
"I just realized this...is this the collection of brothers or something? The only one missing is DC." She jokes, laughing.
"Looks like that doesn't it" They all laugh.
"If Jellybean turns out to be a girl, I feel sorry for any boy that tries to date her when she's old enough." Aly snickers.
"Oh yeah, Mike will go into super protective mode then."
"And don't tell me all of you wouldn't get protective either."
"Well of course we would."
She laughs.
"It's what dads do."
"And uncles."
"Of course."
As she continues talking with John, Jeff, Matt, and Shannon, she sees Mike making his way over out of the corner of her eye.
"I think somebody's gotten seperation anxiety."
"He just loves you, that's what it is." John chuckles.
"I know. I just like to tease him, it's amusing."
"Well we'll leave you two alone, talk to you later?"
"Of course. Bye guys."
"Bye." They all say, before walking back to their tables.
She gets up and meets Mike at the edge of the platform their little table is on.
"Hi." She smiles, kissing him lightly.
"Hey." He replies, wrapping his arms around her.
She leans into him, nuzzling his neck.
"You know I think it's time for the bouquet toss and everything." He smirks.
"Oh boy."
"Come on.." He grins, pulling on her arms.
"Okay okay. Slow down Lover Boy." She laughs, grabbing her bouquet off the table.
Everyone clears the floor as the DJ announces that the bouquet toss is set to happen right now. A bunch of girls go out onto the floor. She turns her back to them and counts to three before tossing the bouquet over her head. One of them catches it with surprisingly no fighting. Aly smiles and then a chair is brought over since it's time for Mike to go after the garter. She sits on the chair, her cheeks going slightly pink. Some music is played and Mike walks over to her with the biggest smirk on his face. She bites her lip, trying not to laugh. He gets down on his knees in front of her still smirking, as he starts to move the bottom of her dress.
"Behave." She hisses quietly.
He just nods, but the smirk doesn't go away. Then he goes up under her dress an her cheeks start to turn even more pink. He pretends to take forever with finding it. She smacks his head lightly. He just chuckles and continues to pretend to take his time. Her cheeks are now red and she taps his head again. In retaliation, he gently bites her thigh. She yelps a little.
"Michael Gregory." She hisses.
He finally gets to the garter, but then he takes his time in getting it off. She bites her lip again, cheeks still red as can be. At first he starts taking it off with his hands, but he switches and now he's using his teeth to do it. She bites her lip harder, internally going 'oh my god'. Once he gets closer to the bottom of her dress, he lets go and pulls it off the rest of the way with his hands, then comes out from under her dress smirking at her.
"I'll get you for that later." She hisses.
"Love you too." He grins, before gently kissing her.
She kisses back and then breaks it, going over to stand in front of the group of guys. He turns around and waits a bit, before tossing it behind him. Since it's guys, there's a bit of pushing and shoving before one catches it. She laughs and gets up from the chair, walking over to Mike.
"Back to dancing." She says, tugging on him.
"Okay okay." He chuckles.
The dance floor fills back up and the two of them dance closely.
"How's your knee?" She asks him.
"Better than Monday night, that's for sure."
"Good."
"I was able to get down on my knees not too long ago remember?"
"I know but I also know that if you were hurting that you would hide it from me so I would have a good time and not worry about you."
"I know, but you have nothing to worry about."
She looks into his eyes for a moment before nodding.
"Okay."
Then he kisses her forehead before leaning his head on hers.
"I love you."
"Love you too."
Hours go by and finally the last song is announced. Whoever wanted to dance, went out onto the dance floor for the last time. Aly and Mike decided to go dance for the last time, from sitting back at the table for a bit. She wraps herself around him as they sway along. The song had unfortunately ended a while later, and she had pulled away from Mike. From there they went around saying their goodbyes to everyone. Of course Alex and I were the last ones they talk to.
"I'm gonna miss you." I say to her, after we hug.
"I'm going to miss you too. Take care of yourself and the new Jellybean. You'll probably be tired a lot more now, that's how I was through the first trimester." She replies.
"Joy." I laugh.
"It eventually gets better." She laughs.
"Well that's good."
"Don't be afraid to call or text if you have a question about being preggo." She adds.
"Or if he has any questions." I say, pointing to Alex.
"That too."
"I will do that." I grin.
She nods and moves to hug Alex while Mike comes to hug me.
"You be sure and take care of her while we're gone DC."
"Oh I will." He nods.
"You be careful with that knee of yours." I say to Mike.
"I will. Trust me, it feels alot better than it did on Monday night."
"That's good. But you can never be too sure."
"Right. I'll be as careful as I can, promise."
"Good." I say, pulling away from the hug.
We all say bye and then Mike and Aly go out to the limo that will take them to the airport.
"Now I can't wait to see where we're going." She smiles.
"I know you're excited."
"Uh-huh." She agrees, cuddled up to him while she nuzzles his neck like she's been doing periodically throughout the night.
"It just takes two plane rides to get there."
She makes a face.
"I know I know, but it's the only way to get there."
"That stinks."
"It's gonna be worth it...trust me."
"You know I do."
Then once they arrived at the airport, they grabbed all their things and headed inside to get onto the first plane.
"I'm glad you picked a private plane." She says after they've been in the air for a while.
"I thought it'd be better than a public plane."
"It is. Much better."
"I'm glad." He smiles.
She steals a kiss. Meanwhile, Alex and I got into the car that Mike had driven earlier in the day that he left and we headed back to the hotel for the night.
"What a day." I sigh as we get into the room.
"For you anyway, you were busy busy all day." Alex replies.
"Uh huh." I nod kicking off my shoes.
"Our own little Jellybean." He grins, after kicking off his shoes.
"Yeah..." I smile softly, looking down at my stomach.
"At first I couldn't believe it, but I think it's sunk in now."
"Aly's the one that realized what was going on after I got sick." I add.
"Well of course, she's been through it." He nods.
"Right. We'll have to make an appointment to confirm this when we go home. I did take two tests but I want a doctor's confirmation."
"Of course. But I'm still happy."
"I know you are." I smile as he comes up to me and wraps me in his arms.
"Best news I could've gotten all day."
"I bet." I giggle.
"And I have a feeling that you're gonna have the same magnetic hand that Mike seems to have with Aly." I add.
"Of course." Alex grins.
"Like now..." He says, moving so he can place a hand on my stomach.
I let him and then put my hand over his.
"I'll definitely have to get used to this." I laugh.
"It's going to happen alot."
"Yeah, but now I think we should head to bed...we've had a long day."
"Right. I'm sure you're tired."
I nod and then move away from him, going over to my things and picking out clothes to change into. After changing, I brush my hair out from the hairspray and everything that was put in it today, before climbing into bed. Alex has changed already and is laying there waiting for me when I slide in. He pulls me to him and kisses my head.
"Night love."
"Night."
I close my eyes and just as I'm about to fall asleep, I feel his hand move to rest on my stomach. Back on the plane with Aly and Mike, they're almost to their first stop before they ahve to get on another plane. She's snuggled into Mike, her head on his chest while she's dozing. Eventually they land in Faa'a International Airport in Papeete, Tahiti and Mike wakes her up and tells her that they've landed.
"Mmm...another plane?" She asks sleepily.
"Yeah, but look at where we are first."
She looks outside and sees that they're somewhere tropical.
"Where are we?"
"Tahiti."
"The same place Alex took Dolce?"
"No, that was Fiji remember?"
"Oh, right."
"But now we have to get on another private plane for an extra 50 minute flight to where we're gonna be all week."
"And where is that?"
"Bora Bora."
"Oooh."
"Just wait until you see what we're staying in."
She looks curious as they get off the first plane and on the second. She dozes off for the extra 50 minutes, until Mike wakes her again when they land for the last time.
"It's so pretty." She says as they look around once they get out of the plane.
"Just wait..." He grins as they go over to the car that was waiting for them.
She stays awake for the car ride, splitting her attention between kisses from Mike and looking outside. The car pulls up to the office and they both get out and grab their things from the trunk of the car. Mike checks in and gets the keys, before walking back out.
"It's not too far from here..."
One of the employees comes out to help and he takes their bags.
"Close your eyes and I'll lead you." Mike says.
She pouts but reluctantly does what he says. Then he grabs her hand and leads her along. She feels the change from asphalt to wood and frowns, trying to picture where they're going. After a bit of walking he stops and she hears the jingle of the keys, as he unlocks the door and then opens it.
"Alright, open your eyes."
She opens her eyes to see an over-water bungalow in front of her. She gasps and looks around in awe.
"I take it you like it...wait no...love it." He grins.
She nods wordlessly.
"Get ready..." He says, getting ready to carry her inside.
She grabs onto him as he picks her up. Then he carries her inside, the employee bringing their bags in behind them. He sets her down and she immediately goes to explore while he thanks the employee and tips them before they leave. Then he watces as she walks around and explores the inside. Then she goes to look outside. He follows, watching her reaction as she explores the outside. She crouches down and drags her fingers through the pool out back.
"Worth the wait?" He chuckles.
"Definintely." She nods as she stands back up, flicking the water from her fingers at him.
"Heyyy."
She giggles.
"I'll get you back for that."
"I'm sure you will." She laughs lightly.
"Isn't the view amazing?" He asks, stepping up to the railing.
"Mmhmm, for sure."
"Bet it looks even better at night." He grins.
"I'm sure it does." She agrees, moving to go back inside.
He moves away from the railing, and follows her back inside. She goes into the bedroom and stops by the dresser. She takes off her veil and then her jewelry. He starts to take off his suit jacket and everything, also making his way into the bedroom. She starts to try and take her shoes off.
"Need help?" He asks, seeing her struggling a bit.
"Yes please. My dress is getting in the way of doing this."
She sits down on the bed and he walks over, and then he takes her shoes off for her.
"Thank you." She leans up and kisses him.
"Anytime." He grins.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
She reaches out and pops a button free on his untucked shirt.
"Just couldn't wait huh?" He smirks.
She just smiles as she glances up at him. Then she starts to move onto the other buttons, popping them free as she goes along. He watches her with a smirk. She pops the last button open and pushes his shirt off his shoulders. She runs her fingers over his skin, moving them over his chest and then goes lower. She runs them across his abs, before going to the indents and pressing her fingers into them. She smirks as he groans.
"That's what you get for what you did at the reception."
He growls and she laughs. He immediately leans down and captures her lips with his. She kisses back, giggling quietly. Then he starts to move, which makes her scooch back on the bed as he climbs onto it himself. She holds onto his shoulders, digging her nails in slightly. He does what he has been doing lately and that's pulling her bottom lip inbetween his and starts to nibble lightly on it. She moans quietly, tightening her grip. He starts to tease her by releasing her lip for a few seconds and then pulls it back inbetween his lips. He repeats this for a while. She growls and slides her hands down to press against his indents. He acts quick and grabs her hands before she can do anything. She whines against his lips.
"You've done that enough." He says, after letting her lip go for a brief moment.
"I did it once and now you're teasing me." She pouts.
"It's fun to tease you though."
"Same to you."
"I'll let you have your fun, but right now it's my turn to."
"Fine." She sighs.
"Unless you really want to have your fun first."
"Just go ahead and get this over with." She mumbles, laying her head back.
"You don't sound too happy..." He frowns slightly.
"You ruined the fun." She pouts, flexing her hands in his grip.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
She tugs him down and presses her lips to his neck.
"Sneak..." He muters.
"I know." She laughs against his neck.
He rests his forehead on her shoulder as she kisses his neck. She kisses and nips all the way up his neck. Then she gets to his jaw and nibbles at his earlobe. He lets out a muffled groan as he leans against her shoulder. She sucks on it a little to tease him. This causes him to start kissing her neck in retaliation, since he was already near it. She stifles a groan. He just smirks and moves up to her ear this time. She buries her face in his shoulder/neck.
"Haha, my turn." He mumbles into her neck.
She mumbles incoherently, holding onto him tightly. Instead of nibbling at her earlobe, he moves to the sensitive spot on her neck. She muffles her moans against his shoulder, digging her nails into his skin. He nips at the skin lightly, before moving away from the spot and along her jawline. She pulls her face out of his shoulder to give him more access. Then he moves from her jaw, down the front of her neck, before moving to her collarbone. She lays her head back, biting her lip. He quickly glances up at her to see her reactions, and then goes back to kissing along her collarbone until he gest to the sensitive spot there. She sucks in a sharp breath. He then moves away from her collarbone and goes back to her lips. She lets out a sigh as they lock lips, running her nails down his back and trailing them along the waist ban of his pants. He shivers a bit and moves his hands, starting to tug on her dress. She pushes on him as she breaks away from his mouth.
"It laces up in the back." She says breathlessly.
He nods and moves so she can sit up, and then he starts to undo the dress in the back. He gets the laces undone and she shifts until she can get the skirt out of under her which will allow him to pull the dress up and over her head. He pulls it up over her head and after that, the rest of what they had on had come off.
