Chapter 250 Next Chapter
I sigh at that. "First, I didn't even tell Jos, Liv. I didn't want anyone to know. I was embarrassed. You just happened to be the last to know this time because you weren't in the room with Josie and Rick when I came clean from the hospital," I sigh in frustration. I didn't want Liv to feel left out, but I'd have preferred if neither of them knew the truth about what's been going on.
"Oh! Well, okay then. But why the sudden rush to get married? I don't understand... You're 19! You could wait..." She mumbles, touching my lashes with mascara. "From what I know, you and your hottie just hooked up like... last week!" she mumbles.
"Well, there is a chance I might be pregnant," I admit with a blush. "And I want to keep the baby if I am. And Trent wants us to be together."
Josie doesn't react as I watch her through the mirror, but Liv gasps and her jaw drops comically. "OMG! I'm going to have another cute little niece or nephew? I'm so excited! Wait... Is it Jays or Trent's?" She asks the question that has been driving me crazy for the last 48 hours.
"That's the thing, I don't even know if I am pregnant! But if I am, there is a 50/50 chance it's Trent's," I sigh making the choice to come clean. "A while ago I found out I was pregnant with Uncle Jay..." I mumble in disgust. The man is a sick bastard. "He took me to the clinic and forced me to get an abortion. But this time... I can't! I don't want that," I sigh, not sure if she will ever understand my reasons.
She gives me a look and nods her head. "Okay. Makes sense. I'll forgive you this time! But if you ever pull something like this and keep me out of the loop, I'll... I don't know. But I'll do something!" she huffs indignantly.
Jos and I both chuckle at my little sister's antics. And I'm sure she would do something. She's cleaver like that.
Josie finally comes up behind me and starts working on my hair. She puts it up in a loose low bun with spiral curls falling from it. I can't stop staring at my face in the mirror! I look beautiful for the first time in my life.
Finally, it's time to get dressed. Not that I need to do a lot, just step into the dress and shoes.
"Okay, so your dress is new," Jos smiled helping me into it. "But this is old. It was Mom's," she sighs placing the veil over my hair. I remember looking at it when I was little thinking it was so pretty. It's been locked away in Josie's room for years, kept away from Beth and her vindictive daughter.
I blink back tears, not realizing how emotional I was getting today. It's perfect!
"And I've got you something blue," Liv smirks, reaching up and putting a blue butterfly hair pin in my bun. "Perfect!"
"Thanks Liv!" I choke.
"And these will have to work for borrowed," Josie sniffs. "They were my earrings Rick gave me to wear in my wedding!" She sniffs again with a happy dreamy smile on her face.
I don't have time to sit around and wonder at how amazing my family is. Soon we are all getting into a shuttle bus, Trent squeezing my hand the whole way.
The little white chapel is a dream come from a story book.
I don't remember much of what the officiant says, but I remember looking into Trent's eyes, and the look of awe on his face. He couldn't stop looking at my face with such a tender look. There was also more than a little lust he was keeping in check around my family and the preacher.
He slipped my new ring onto my finger, and I did the same with him. I guess Rick took Trent ring shopping while I was getting my makeup done.
We gave simple vows and then he kissed me. The kiss was deep and possessive, claiming me in that moment. And I was more than willing to be claimed by him.
The room broke into cheers.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Mr. and Mrs. Trent Miller," cheered the preacher.
The name startles me. I hadn't even thought about it, but I guess he's right! I'm now Mrs. Charlotte Miller, and this is the first time I'm hearing it...
I can see the shock and absolute joy in Trent's face at hearing it too.
Then he kisses me again. "I love you, Angel. I've never been so happy!" he mumbles against my lips.
And I can't help echoing his sentiment. I'm so happy right now! I'm surrounded by my family, and in the arms of the man I've been in love with for years. And now we are going to start the next chapter of our lives together.
I think I've finally got my happy ending... But I'm still worried about Olivia...
