Chapter 38: Shopping Time
River POV
We quickly finish our desserts and the rest of the champagne and start heading to the door
We say goodbye to the boys as they leave to go towards the chapel.
Me and Chailor start heading towards the dress shop arm and arm
As we're walking I notice she looks nervous
I'm pretty sure I know why but she hasn't told me anything yet, maybe she doesn't realize it herself yet
"So soon to be Mrs Spencer, anything else we need to talk about before we go and get you married?"
She looks at me questioningly, then she starts laughing
"You bitch, you already know don't you?"
I start laughing
"Know what my dear sister wife? I have no clue what you're talking about"
She playfully smacks me on my arm as she pulls away from me
"You've know this whole time huh?" She says
I start laughing
"I've had my suspicions since last month when I went in your bathroom to steal a few tampons and realized that you still had two full boxes. We've been on the same cycle for years now"
"Well you could have told me I just found out on Thursday" she yells smacking me on the arm
"I know you better than that, nobody can tell you anything you have to find out on your own, if I brought it up it would just send you in a spiral until you were able to see a doctor"
"You don't know me!" She yells laughing at me
"Does Lincoln know?"
"No not yet" she says sadly
I quickly pull her in a hug
"I didn't know you would be going through this alone I thought for sure you would tell him right away"
"I'm too scared, what if he don't want me after this" she starts crying
"Chailor look at me, you could seriously show up to that wedding with half your face ripped off and Lincoln would still look at you the same way he did 5 minutes ago and still want to marry you"
She cries harder "I know your right but I can't help feeling this way"
I hug her so tight
She always shows a tough exterior but I know how insecure and down on herself she can get
"Chailor look at me. That man would literally run through fire and fight anybody he had to just to get to you. He loves you and he would never let you go. He's going to love this baby with everything he has"
She looks at me still crying
"I know, thanks Riv. I love you" she says hugging her as tight as she can
"Okay no more crying you can't be a puffy bride"
I tell her with a laugh
"Your a ass" she says grabbing my hand and running towards the shop
A half an hour later and between us and the three girls at the shop we have it narrowed down to two dresses
One is kinda short about mid thigh it's lacey like she wanted. It's off the shoulder with light lacey arms all the way down to the hands,
It's gorgeous and she looks amazing in it
The second is long, lacey and has a little bit of a train, sleeveless, and it's cut down between her boobs with lace and looks amazing on her.
I personally like the second one.
I would never be able to wear something like that because of the scarring on my chest and my arms but that's the one I would pick if I could wear something like that.
"I'm going to take the short one for today but I love the options you have here so I will be back when we do our bigger wedding"
"You look amazing in it hon, I can't wait to see Lincoln's face when he sees you in it"
The girls all say how beautiful she is in her dress, they start getting the dress ready to put in the garment bag for us. We say our thanks as we're leaving.
"Now I have to tell Lincoln and hope I don't have to return this dress" she says sadly
I give her a reassuring hug and hold her tightly for a minute
"Babe, he is not going to leave you. I promise you. It might be rough sometimes but that's just life. You guys are only having a child earlier than planned but kids have always been in the plan for both of you. It's not going to ruin your guys's relationship it's only going to make it stronger"
"I'm so excited to be an auntie, I'm going to spoil this baby senseless"
We are laughing and she sighs as we link arms
"Everything will be okay Chailor let's get your mind off of it. Hey look do you want to stop in at this lingerie shop and see if there's anything in here that you want for your honeymoon night?"
"So are you thinking naughty or naughty naughty?"
I say gesturing towards the two different sides of the shop
" Naughty naughty. After this morning I think he would really like that" she says laughing with a slight blush to your face
"Don't tell me" I say plugging my ears
"Last time you told me your dirty little sexcapate I couldn't look him in the eye for a week" that makes her hysterically laugh
We looked around for a while she found a gorgeous emerald green lacey crotchless set, she also got a naughty nurse set and a naughty maid set
Coming into places like this with her always makes me blush she always thinks it's the funniest thing
I did find a super cute silky shorts and crop top pajama set that I ended up getting in purple
Now for the wedding of two of my favorite people
