Here is the wedding. I still have a few more scenes that I have thought about, but haven't started to write them yet.
Let me know what you think by leaving a review.
Chapter 14
Mac was awoken by what felt like an earthquake. She bolted upright in fear, only to see her maid of honor jumping on the bed.
"Time to wake up. Today's your big day." Veronica was bouncing in her pajamas.
She sat up against the headboard. "Please stop doing that."
"No." Veronica continued to jump. "Not until you get up."
Mac groaned. "It's my special day. Aren't you supposed to do whatever I say?"
Veronica fell to her knees on the bed. "Fine, but only because room sevice just brought us an amazing breakfast that's waiting in the living room."
"What did you order me?" She hadn't told Veronica to order her anything the night before, so she wasn't sure what she was getting.
"I didn't order this either. Your soon to be hubby had it sent up."
With that, Mac jumped out of bed and flew into the living room to see a room service cart with crepes filled with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries along with an omelet with spinach, artichokes, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms with crispy hashbrowns on the side.
"And that Veronica, is why I am marrying that man of mine. He knows me so well."
Mac sat down and began devouring her feast, while Veronica sat across from her with her own omelet with hashbrowns and bacon.
"Since when do you eat real eggs?" Veronica took a sip of orange juice.
"Since Dick put a bun in my oven that thinks eggs are amazing. He made some last week for himself and I stole bite, then I stole his whole plate. I've eaten eggs everyday since." Mac smelled the coffee Veronica was pouring and reached for it.
"Do you want some? He had some decaf sent up, but there was also a note that said you could have a cup of regular for a treat if you wanted to splurge, but I'm not allowed to let you have more than one cup."
Mac's smile grew. "I was having a cup either way, but it's nice to know we won't have to lie to Dick about it later."
An hour later, Mac was sitting in a salon chair at the spa downstairs. Natalie and Ellen were discussing with the stylist how they thought Mac's hair would look best. Mac's mom had begged her to grow her hair out for the wedding and Mac had let it reach chin length. Her hair was also back to its original chocolate brown color.
"What do you think honey?" Natalie said.
"I like the one with the braid to pull my bangs back and then curls for the rest."
"That's my favorite too." Natalie clapped her hands together. "I think you'll dress would look best with your hair up like that."
Mac had her nails and hair done before a woman came to do her make-up. Natalie was insisting that she have something more dramatic, while Mac wanted a natural look. Veronica came in as Mac was becoming flustered.
"Hey Natalie, they're ready for you to have your hair done. We are running out of time, so you should get back there." Veronica came to stand next to Mac's mother.
"Oh okay." Natalie looked back into the salon. "Um. Veronica can you make sure they give Mac a heavier eye." She left and went to get her hair done.
"So Mac, how would you like your eyes to look?" Veronica sat down in the chair next to her. "In fact, how do you want my eyes to look? It is your day after all."
After they were done having their make-up put on, Mac and Veronica decided to head out to the beach house to get into their dresses. Mac sent Veronica into the hair salon to let Natalie know they were leaving and would see her at the house.
They got into Veronica's SUV and headed out to the house. Mac pulled out her phone and dialed Dick's number.
I hope this isn't you calling to tell me you changed your mind.
"Never." Mac let out a small giggle. "Thanks for the amazing breakfast this morning."
I wanted to make sure you had a nutritious start to your day.
"Well it was very thoughtful of you. I wanted to let you know we are headed to the house, so you need to make yourself scarce until I get inside."
I'll lock myself in the office and get dressed. Just one more hour of the single life.
"Having second thoughts?"
Never. I'm looking forward to kissing my wife.
"I like the sound of that. Well, soon to be husband, I'll see you at the end of the aisle."
I love you.
"I love you too."
When they got to the house, Mac went straight up to the guest bedroom where she had her dress stored along with Veronica's bridesmaid dress. Once they were both in their dresses, Mac stepped back to look at herself in the full-length mirror.
The dress was form fitted silk fabric with a faux-wrap bodice and a slit that came above her knee. The straps crisscrossed on her back before meeting the dress about waist height. The side ruching hid the small baby bump that Mac was starting to have. She was going without a veil since it was an outdoor wedding.
"Mac, you look stunning." Veronica was wearing a simple gray knee length dress.
"Thank you." Mac picked up a pair of diamond earrings and began to put them in. "Dick gave me these last night as a wedding gift. Apparently I have a bridesmaid who thought diamond earrings would go perfect with my dress."
Veronica shrugged. "He asked if I knew what he could get you for a present. I just made a suggestion." She pointed at Mac. "And I was right."
A knock sounded on the door.
"It's Jeff." The door opened and Jeff came in with a hand covering his eyes. "I hope your both decent."
"Yes, J.J." Mac sighed.
J.J. dropped his hand and then his mouth dropped open. "Mac, you look magnificent."
Mac tilted her head. "Thank you. You look pretty good yourself."
"I know." He spun around in his tan suit. "I still can't believe that I got ordained so I could marry my BFF. I also have a song prepared for your first dance. This day is going to be amazing."
Tears began to prick Mac's eyes. "Damn it. Stop with the sentimental bullshit. Pregnant women can take that and you'll mess up my make-up."
J.J. went to the window. "You should take a peek outside and see your man. Maybe that'll keep you from losing it when you walk down the aisle."
She moved to the window and peeked through the blinds to see Dick talking with Logan and Mac's father, Sam. He was in a tan suit with a blue tie and had a huge smile on his face. Mac had seen him in suits numerous times, but she had never seen him look more handsome than in that moment. Tears sprung to her eyes and Mac started fanning her face and felt J.J. give her a side hug.
Charles Sinclair approached the three men and Mac began to worry that he was going to make a scene and ruin the day. However, when she saw him extend his hand to Dick and they shake hands she knew that Charles wasn't going to do anything to stop the wedding, so Mac let out a sigh of relief.
Mac went back to the mirror and began correcting her make-up while Jeff went down to the beach to get ready.
Veronica came to stand next to her in the mirror and handed her a bouquet of ivory and blush dusty miller and ranunculus. "Are you ready?"
Mac nodded as she took the flowers.
Moments later she was standing downstairs with her father waiting for their turn to walk down the aisle.
"Cindy. I just want to tell you that you are the most beautiful bride. When I married your mother, I was nervous as could be until the moment I saw her standing at the end of the aisle and I became calm because I knew that she was the woman I was meant to spend the rest of my life with." Sam held Mac's hand in his. "The first time you brought Dick to dinner, I asked him what his intentions were. He was a blubbering idiot and I knew then that he had fallen in love with you. I see the way he looks at you and I know he'll cherish you the way you deserve."
Mac felt tears fill her eyes and looked for a tissue.
Sam held out a handkerchief. "Dick said you might need this."
She took it and blotted the water from he eyes. "I love you Daddy"
"I love you too sweetie." He kissed her forehead.
When they walked through the doors, Mac saw all of her friends and family stand but her eyes went to the end of the aisle where Dick was standing with his largest grin. A large smile spread across her face as they locked eyes. She thought back to Madison's wedding when Dick approached her as she was getting a drink. Mac would have never thought that moment would lead to so much more, especially not a wedding of their own and a baby on the way.
She wasn't just walking towards Dick. Mac was walking towards the man that can make her smile at any moment even when she has her face in the toilet with morning sickness. This is the man who took care of her when she was injured while helping save a kidnapped girl. She knew that this is the man who has the ability to break her heart into a million pieces, but Mac also knew that he would do everything in his power to keep that from happening. Dick was her future and she wouldn't want it any other way.
In what felt like a blink of the eye, Mac was standing at the end of the aisle and her father was placing Mac's hand in Dick's.
The ceremony was traditional and short with a few laughs thanks to J.J.'s weird sense of humor, which kept Mac from crying outside of the vows. Then, J.J. was pronouncing them husband and wife.
"Dick, you may now kiss your bride." J.J. looked at Dick and gestured towards Mac.
Dick placed a hand on Mac's cheek as he leaned down to press a kiss to her lips. After a few seconds he pulled back and Mac opened her eyes to smile up at him.
"You ready to get out of here wife?" Dick nodded his head towards the aisle.
Mac accepted her bouquet from Veronica. "Let's go husband."
They both let out a small laugh, before heading back down the aisle towards their home. The reception was going to be held on the large patio, but Dick kept walking into the house pulling Mac with him.
Dick pulled Mac into his arms. "So, you're really stuck with me now."
"And you're stuck with me. I think I got the better end of that deal, since you aren't a hormonal pregnant lady."
He let out a laugh before leaning down and placing a passionate kiss on her lips. "God, do you know how gorgeous you look in this dress?"
Mac laughed and stepped back to twirl. "I'd hoped you would like it."
"I used to think that blue dress from Madison's wedding was the sexist I'd ever seen you, but this tops that. And I don't think the fit was ruined at all, in fact your assets are looking glorious." Dick pulled her tight against him before pressing his lips against hers.
There was a cough coming from behind Dick, so Mac pulled away to see Logan and Veronica standing there.
"You two have the rest of your lives to make out, but right now you need to go have pictures made and then mingle with your guests." Logan winked at them.
After the usually pictures, drinks, and dinner, Mac and Dick were walking onto the area being used as the dance floor.
J.J. was standing with his band at the corner of the patio. "So the newlyweds allowed me to select the song for their first dance. I hope that I picked well. To Mac and Dick, I wish you a future filled with love and happiness."
The band began to play and Mac smiled at his choice. It was Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud. Dick guided Mac around the dance floor and she couldn't help but laugh when he twirled and then dipped her.
Later in the evening, Mac was sitting at a table watching Dick dance with her mother. She sighed and placed a hand on her belly while she sipped her glass of ginger ale. The day had gone wonderfully and now as the moon was high, Mac was beginning to feel a sleepiness fall over her, but she felt someone come to stand next to her.
Charles Sinclair was there next to her with his hand out. "Cindy, may I have this dance?"
Mac nodded as she set down her drink and accepted his hand. They moved onto the dance floor and Charles began to lead her around.
"You look lovely." He smiled down at her.
"Thank you." Mac was hoping that he wouldn't start insulting Dick because today had been perfect and she didn't want anything to taint that.
"I want to apologize for being so hard on you about Dick. While I still believe you could do better. I also understand that you can make your own decisions. I truly hope that this is the start to a happy marriage."
Mac felt tears build in her eyes again and cursed her hormones. "That means a lot Charles." She brushed at the tears with her hand.
"So, I hear that the two of you are heading on a long honeymoon."
"Yeah, Dick wants to take me to London, Paris, and Rome. We'll be gone for two weeks." Mac still couldn't believe Dick chose those destinations. She thought they would have gone to a beach, but he insisted on taking her somewhere she had always wanted to go.
The song ended and Mac let go of Charles. "Thank you for the dance and everything." She watched as Dick and her mother walked over to them.
"Are you ready to get out of here?" Dick asked Mac with a kiss on the temple.
"Yes. I'm exhausted." Mac leaned into him as he placed his hand on her belly.
Natalie clapped her hands together. "Okay. I'll get everyone together for a big send off."
Mac grabbed her mother's hands. "Actually, may be we can skip that part. Dick and I could just sneak out."
Natalie gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Okay Cindy. I'm so happy for you two." She turned and kissed Dick on the cheek. "Charles would you mind taking me for a spin around the dance floor?"
"It would be my pleasure Natalie."
Mac and Dick took the opportunity and sneaked out of their wedding. Once they were through the house they jumped in Dick's sports car. Mac looked back at the house as they pulled out of the driveway and slid her hand on top of Dick's on the gearshift. Without looking away from the road, Dick picked her hand and kissed the back of it. Mac laid her head back on the headrest and let out a content sigh.
Mac woke up with the light shining through the crack in the curtains. She thought back to the day before and smiled at the thought that she was now Mrs. Casablancas. Then she realized that she didn't remember anything after getting into Dick's car. She rolled over and looked at Dick's sleeping form before scooting over and cuddling up to her husband.
Dick lazily kissed her forehead and pulled her towards him. "Morning."
"I'm sorry I fell asleep." Mac felt bad that he didn't get a real wedding night. She gently scratched her nails on his back.
He laughed into her hair. "It's okay. You were tired."
Mac could see where he had hung her dress in the closet doorway. She tilted her head up to see the slight smile on his face and his eyes still closed. Mac placed a kiss on his lips and pulled back to see his eyes open.
"Maybe I could make it up to you…" She moved her hands to the waistband of his boxer briefs. "I mean we should consummate our marriage and all."
Dick grinned at her before slamming his lips into hers and pulled her on top of him. Mac felt his hands move down her body and one began to message her breast as the other pushed down her panties. His lips moved from her mouth down to her neck where he lightly raked his teeth over the base of her neck causing her to moan.
Mac pulled away and looked down on him. "I love you."
Dick pushed her hair away from her face. "I love you too." He leaned up to capture her lips with his.
Mac rolled them over pulling Dick on top of her. She pushed his underwear down and then hooked it with her toe as she pulled it off of him. His hand went between her legs and he moaned against her lips when he found her already wet.
She felt him slide the tip of himself into her and Mac let out a sigh. He teased her with his tip as he moved down and placed his lips on her right nipple. Mac bucked her hips up to take him fully into her and she saw a smile cross his face.
Dick thrust into her as he moved his mouth up to her shoulder where he gently sucked the spot where he left a bruise the first weekend they were together before moving up her neck and landing on her lips. His hand went to her breast and caressed her nipple as she pulled her leg up around his hip. After a few more moments Mac shuttered and fell apart in ecstasy as Dick quickly followed.
He rolled off of her onto his back and Mac curled up against his side. She heard him release a satisfied sigh.
Mac propped her head up with her arm. "You know what we need now?" Dick raised an eyebrow. "Breakfast."
He laughed. "So are you at the point where you're horny and hungry?"
"Yes. You fulfilled one need and now need to deal with the other."
Dick reached onto the nightstand and pulled the phone to him. After ordering breakfast Dick climbed out of bed. "We have enough time for a quick shower before the food gets here. I'm pretty sure I can deal with that first need again, which should take your mind off your stomach until the food it here." He held his hand out to her.
Mac accepted his hand and allowed him to lead her into the bathroom.
