42.2 Alexander
An hour later, the entire Montgomery-De Luca-Storm family were mingling with each other after we practiced walking down the isle. I held a sleeping Savannah in my arms as I watched Kat and my parents talking across the room and smiled. They have gotten extremely close since they came back into my life all those months ago. It's crazy to think that just a little over 6 months I was learning about them and what Angelo and Margaret had done and now here I was watching my fiancée with my parents laughing as if they've known each since we got engaged and not six months.
"They're great people," I looked over at the sound of Liam voice and saw him and Addison walking over to me
"Yeah, they are," I agreed and smiled when my partners and Kat looked our way with a smiles before they went back to their conversation
"We're glad that you can finally have the family that you have always wanted, Alex," Addison said and I was confused by her words and she smiled, "ever since we've known you, we've always seen you with a lost look in your eyes ans whenever we spoke about your parents you always changed the subject and now we know why and if we had back then we would've helped you and shown you want the love of a parent feels like b it you get to feel that now with Valentina and Alessandro so we're Beth happy that you have your parents to love you the way you should've been when you lived with Angelo and Margaret."
I chewed on the inside of my cheek not realizing isn't how open I had been with my emotions back when I was still a college student still trying to figure my way in the world.
"And we couldn't have asked for a better son-in-law then you. Don't get tus wrong when we found out about what happened between you and Kat before you got together we were angry and hurt that you were just using her like you've done with your old flings, but after watching how much you love her and the way you care about her and the way she smiles every time your name comes up in a conversation we realized that this was serious and when you asked for her hand in marriage we knew that you didn't want her just for one night but for the rest of your life we knew that she would always be in good hands," Liam said making me clear my throat as his words. I knew that he and Addison had been upset about our one night stand that resulted in Savannah but I never expected to hear them say something like that. I knew they had gotten over the fact that Kat and I were in a relationship over the months but hearing him actually say that he was glad that I was going to be his son in law was a shock.
"Thank you for loving our girl the way that you do and for making her the happiest that she's ever been, Alex," Addison said and gave me a soft smile as she cupped my cheek, "you're a wonderful man and we can't wait to call you son"
"Uh, I don't know what to say," I replied making them smile, "but thank you for accepting me into your family when you didn't have to. I know I've made a lot of mistakes over the years but meeting and falling in love with your daughter was not one of them. Kat and Savannah have been the greatest gifts o could have ever wished for and they have changed my life in ways I never thought possible," I said and they nodded
"Thank you for living her the way that you do, Alex," Liam stated before patting my shoulder and Addison gave me a kiss on the cheek before they walked away leaving me to mull over their words.
My life could have never been the way it was now if I had never met David in college for I wouldn't have met Katerina at their party. I wouldn't have know what true love actually felt like if I had never laid my eyes on her. Katerina Elena Montgomery has changed my life in ways I could have never imagined and I couldn't wait to call her my wife.
She truly has been a light in my life since I met her when I was 21 and she was 17, and I couldn't thank her or God enough for coming in to my life when I needed her the most.
"What's got you thinking so much," I smiled as I watched her make her towards Savannah and I before wrapping her arms around my neck
"You," I replied making her raise a brow asa soft blush coated her cheeks making me smile,
"Is that so?" She asked and I hummed leaning forwards so our foreheads touched
"Yes, you're always on my mind no matter where I am or what I'm doing. You're a constant reminder of how incredibly lucky I am" I stated and she smiled leaning forwards and I could feels her breath on my lips
"It's the same with me," she murmured before she pressed her lips against mine making me smile
"I can't wait to call you my wife," I whispered
"And I can't wait to call you my husband"
