Thank you for all the amazingly positive reviews, I'm glad 'Team Naylor' has been so positively received! Please keep reviewing because it's really encouraging!

Jonny poked his head around the door to his and Jac's bedroom once more to check Jac was still asleep. He had left the bedside lamp on for her and from its light he could see she was turned away from the door, her long red hair spilling across both sets of pillows. Jonny could tell from her deep and even breathing she was still sleeping soundly.

He made his way back to the living room and sat down on the floor next to Ava where they were playing snakes and ladders.

'Is Auntie Jac poorly?' Ava asked him as he got himself comfortable.

'No she's just very tired' Jonny smiled at the little girl 'Auntie Jac has been so busy with work and looking after Mummy that she's worn herself out.'

'Oh' Ava said rolling the dice to take her turn. 'That's ok then'

The buzzer for the flat rang out shrilly. Jonny jumped to his feet. 'I wonder who that is?'

He answered the door to see Sacha and Mo.

'Jasmine has sent us' Sacha smiled at Jonny 'she wants us to be sure Jac is ok and show her some mock ups for your wedding invites.'

'You'd better come in then' Jonny smiled back knowing Jac would want to see her best friend now she was feeling calmer. 'She was asleep but…'

Jonny was cut off by the sound of Jac's sleepy voice calling 'is that Sacha Levy inviting himself in?'

Jonny grinned at Mo as Sacha walked past him along the corridor and stuck his head into their bedroom.

'Yes and Mo if that's ok' they heard Sacha informed his friend as he walked into the room.

'Auntie Jac! You're awake!' Ava exclaimed happily as she too ran into Jacs bedroom. 'I thought you were going to be asleep for ever' the little girl exclaimed dramatically as she scrambled up onto the bed to sit next to her auntie. Sacha chuckled as he too took a seat on the bed and Jac tied her hair back off her face and propped herself up on her pillows.

'What have you been doing whilst I've been sleeping then pumpkin?' Jac spoke to the little girl as she put an arm around her to stop her from falling off the edge.

'Playing snakes and ladders with Uncle Jonny' she snuggled against her auntie enjoying the attention.

'Did you win?' Ava nodded her head and Jac kissed the top of it before adding 'that's my girl.' Ava giggled. 'Could you go and ask uncle Jonny to make me a cup of tea?' Jac asked the little girl knowing Ava loved to have little tasks to do. Ava nodded and slid herself down off the bed and ran from the room to find her Uncle. 'That's why you have kids' she joked as she made herself more comfortable against her pillows. 'So why are you here?' she asked Sacha 'you should be at home sleeping surely?'

'I've had a few hours' Sacha waved aside his friends concerns 'besides I've got tomorrow off. I wanted to make sure you were ok.'

'I'm…'

'Do not say fine' Sacha interrupted his friend with a worried frown.

'Ok then, my wrist hurts and I've got a massive bruise on my shoulder where I hit the wall.' Sacha gently took Jac's bruised wrist in his hands to check on its progress. 'I think my pride is bruised worse than my wrist though' she half-heartedly joked.

'Why?' Sacha frowned 'You've got nothing to be ashamed of, Joseph did a horrid to thing to you and it wasn't your fault.'

'I know that' Jac sighed 'but he made me feel weak. I let myself be weak.'

'Don't be silly' Sacha put his arm around his friend's shoulders and Jac let herself lean into him. 'I know you won't believe it but you are the strongest person I know. You're already bouncing back from something that would take others days to recover from.'

'Thanks for rescuing me' Jac spoke softly.

'Anytime. I know you'd do the same for me' Sacha kissed the top of Jac's head. 'Now we've got more important things to discuss.'

'Such as?'

'Your wedding!' Sacha declared happily whilst Jac let out a soft groan.

…

'You haven't told her anything about 'team Naylor' have you?' Mo whispered to Jonny as he made tea and coffee.

Jonny shook his head 'I promised I wouldn't and I won't. How did you find out about it anyway?' Jonny was still a bit hurt they hadn't involved him and had refused to let him join in.

'Sacha told me. I thought it was a good idea.'

'It is but I hate keeping secrets from Jac, you know that.'

'What you think Jac's reaction would be if she ever found out? Trust me it's better this way; just pretend your finding out about it never happened' Mo shrugged her shoulders.

'Easy for you to say' Jonny muttered as he walked to the fridge to get the milk.

It wasn't Mo thought to herself. They hadn't told Jonny what they had been discussing before he'd walked into the room and as much as she hated keeping secrets from her friend Mo privately thought the less Jonny knew the better for the moment.

'I still find it a bit strange. It's like you lot are the avengers or something'

'Yeah well Jac is strange' Mo shrugged her shoulders again as she helped herself to a custard cream from the biscuit barrel sat on the work top. 'She's the only person I know who finds help and support a personal insult.'

'That's my fiancée you're insulting' Jonny reminded her. 'Anyway look at these pictures of Jac and Ava feeding the ducks this afternoon' Jonny changed the subject taking his phone out of his pocket. 'Honestly Ava is so cute and Jac looks so beautiful when she's being all maternal.'

'I just can't believe you've got photographic evidence of Jac Naylor feeding ducks' Mo mused taking a cautious sip of her hot coffee.

…

'We have three options for wedding invites' Sacha said as he laid out the three samples on the coffee table in the living room. 'Now I have my favourite but I won't say anything until you two have picked yours' he grinned at the couple who were sat on the sofa with Ava cuddled up on Jac's lap. The little girl had just had her bath and was feeling sleepy already.

'Is he for real?' Jac rolled her eyes at Mo who just laughed back.

Jonny leaned forward and picked up the first sample which was a traditional looking affair complete with lace and ribbon. 'I think we can safely say no to this one?' Jonny held up the card so Jac could see it. She pulled a disgusted face. 'I thought so' Jonny laughed as he placed the sample back down on the table. He picked up the two remaining invites. 'So its either this one' he held up a plain white invite with just their names embossed in sliver on the front. 'Or this one' Jonny smiled as held up the sample using the photograph Granddad George had taken of the couple at the beach.

'I can tell you want that one' Jac rolled her eyes.

'What's wrong with it?' Jonny laughed

'It's a bit…' Jac searched around for the right word 'mushy?'

'I think it's a beautiful photograph of the pair of you' Mo spoke up 'and its more personal'

'I think you're out voted Jac' Sacha smiled at his friend 'it's a romantic picture and it'd be nice for George to know his granddaughter is using a photograph he has taken for her wedding invites.'

Jac smoothed Ava's hair. 'All this wedding talk as bored Ava to sleep' she spoke softly noticing the little girl had fallen into a slumber on her chest. 'If that's the one you want Jonny we'll go with it' she smiled at him.

'Right I'll get those ordered tomorrow' Sacha spoke as he wrote down a note on his ever growing list. 'I think we did well earlier with the guest list just remember to let me know if there is anyone you want to add'. They had spent the whole of dinner coming up with the guest list with Jonny wanting to invite everyone and Jac trying to keep numbers down to a minimum. In the end Jonny won after Mo pointed out that anyone could just turn up at the hospital chapel and they were having the reception in a public bar.

'Jac has picked Ava as flower girl and Jasmine to be bridesmaid. Jasmine wants to go through colour schemes with you so I'll leave that to her' Sacha smiled at Jac. 'Jonny who are you going to have as best man?'

'I'm not having a best man' Jonny laughed

'You've got to have a best man Jonny' Mo sounded exasperated 'who is going to hold the rings?'

'You will, you daft cow' Jonny grinned at his best friend 'I'm having a best woman instead'

'Aww really?' Mo looked chuffed.

'Of course' Jonny smiled 'And you'll be a groomsman won't you Sacha?'

'Oi, hands off!' Jac said playfully 'if you can have a best woman then I want Sacha to be my man of honour.'

'Seriously?' Sacha laughed loudly.

'Shh!' Jac scolded him as Ava stirred in her sleep. She rubbed the little girls back to settle her back down against her chest.

'Sorry' Sacha whispered with a big grin on his face 'are you serious?'

'Of course' Jac smiled at him 'how else am I going to get through this?'

'You make it sound like you're about to undergo torture' Jonny laughed.

'So long as I end up married to you it can be as tortuous as it likes'

'Aww, you're such an old romantic' Jonny smirked.

'Talking of romance' Sacha coughed 'we need to discuss the first dance'

'I am willing to compromise on this actually' Jac took them all by surprise. 'I'm willing to do a first dance so long as there are no speeches.'

'Agreed' Jonny nodded his approval. 'I wasn't looking forward to standing up and making a speech, the vows will be stressful enough. Plus nobody actually appreciates the speeches expect for family, and well, we are limited on that.'

'Ok' Sacha nodded 'it's your wedding so how you both want it is how it will go'. Sacha added 'no speeches' to his list. 'So what about song choices for this first dance?'

'I know which one I want' Jonny smiled at Jac as he reached over to tuck a strand of hair that fallen lose from her messy bun behind her ear.

'So do I' Jac smiled back at him.

She remembered dancing with Jonny to the song they were both thinking of in the kitchen of her old flat the evening of the day he had proposed to her. She had mocked him for singing along to Coldplay whilst he cooked their dinner. He had responded by pulling her into a tight embrace and then slowly waltzing with her in the tiny room as he sang 'And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down' softly to her. She had tucked her head under his chin as he continued to sing 'Through chaos as it swirls, It's us against the world'. She had been heavily pregnant with Amelia at the time and the baby had kicked out so hard Jonny was able to feel it against his own stomach as he danced with the mother of his unborn child. 'You've never looked more beautiful' he had whispered in her ear and, despite the fact she had been dressed in a pair of maternity pyjama bottoms and one of Jonny's old t-shirts at the time, Jac had never before felt more beautiful
