“Oscar, I didn’t mean it that way.”
“Yeah, I know you don’t. You’ve got a soft heart so it is normal for you to worry about me.”
“I would rather stay alone than be in the midst of people who despise me. It wasn’t a lonely time. I was able to reflect and think well. It made me realize how much I can’t do without my family and I was also able to put things together. The honeymoon plans and also a surprise when we move back to California. I want my family to enjoy the best.”
“Gabriel also came to check on me yesterday. He came with two of his friends so I was not that lonely. I also had time to reflect on a lot of things. I am glad I’m going to see my baby shortly.”
“I can’t believe you are so grown. Despite not having the best parents, I’m glad for how far you’ve come. I know I have probably said this a hundred times already but I’m happy for you, my dear and I am thrilled to witness today.” Fedora brought her hand up and playfully squeezed his cheek. “I pray that the universe continues to make you so happy.”
Oscar blushed, “Thank you.”
“You are the most beautiful bride Lhave ever laid my eyes on.” Vicky smiled. “I am sure you say that to every bride you see.”
“Kathie is telling the truth, Vee. If there is any word beyond beautiful and gorgeous, that is what you are right now,” Lara confessed.
Vee blushed. “Okay, you guys should stop with the comments. I am sure I look okay,” She mumbled, staring at her reflection in the huge mirror. The trio were in the bride’s luxurious suite.
“No Sis, we are not just hyping you. We are being really honest. Your dress is everything any bride would ask for. You have a really great taste and it suits you well.” Lara said.
“I can’t wait for Oscar to see you.” Kathie giggled, standing beside Lara. The duo were dressed in their peach-coloured satin bridesmaids dress.
“Me too! I know he is going to fall in love with you all over again.” “Definitely!” Kathie cheered.
Vee smiled, turning around to face her best friends who had been nothing but sisters to her.
“You both have been there for me in every step of the way. Thank you for everything. I remember when I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t think twice about wanting to get rid of it. And now I can’t imagine a life without my twin Babies.”
Kathie giggled. “You were hesitant but I know getting rid of it is not something you would have done because your kind heart will never allow you to do such.”
“I agree with Kathie. You just needed time to come to terms with the fact that it was time to have another baby. And I am grateful for how everything fell in place for you.”
“Only people that know you closely well would know you are pregnant because this wedding dress did an excellent job in concealing that.”
“Hell yeah!” Kathie agreed, smiling at her friend.
Vicky smiled, staring down at her dress. She knew her friends were right. It was an off-shoulder ball gown wedding dress, sparkling in all its glory with the shiny designs on it. Vee was more than happy because she felt so comfortable in it.
She smiled proudly. “You all are right but everyone is going to know at the reception. I chose a dress that would make Oscar go crazy!
“As he should!” Lara cheered.
“Yes. He is so lucky to have you and I am so thrilled you have a good man like him. You both are a powerful couple. He fulfilled your desires by flying us all to Italy to give you your dream wedding! Damn!!!”
Hardly had it been 5 minutes when Fedora took her leave that another knock came through on the door.
Oscar frowned a bit because he wasn’t expecting anybody but he answered anyway.
The door opened, revealing Gabriel in his suit, all dressed for the occasion.
“I thought I should come to threaten you for the last time before the event starts.”
Oscar smiled, rising to his feet from where he was seated. “I gave you my word already.”
“I know you did. But I am over here, doing some due diligence. Gabriel approached him, smiling. The duo exchanged a handshake, then a brotherly hug.
“You are taking my sister away from me. I am never going to forgive you.”
Oscar chuckled. “We are going to come for visits. And I can always send the pilot to come pick up you and Lara whenever you want to come to California.”
“I haven’t discussed it with Vicky but I would love for you and Lara to be around when the twins are going to be born. The house we are moving to is really big to accommodate even up to 6 guests. We would love to have you around. And also the baby shower too.”
“Sure! Lara and I wouldn’t miss any of your all’s special occasions for anything. I know it took me a while to say this but I’m glad that Vicky has you. I feel much calmer knowing she is in safe hands and I wish you both all the happiness in the world.”
“These words mean so much to me. Thank you
Gabriel smiled in return.
“Ready to get married to the love of your life?” Gabriel said, barging into the bride’s suite.
“Where are your manners, mister? You could have at least knocked!” Lara playfully glared at her man as he strolled in with so much pride.
“Forgive my unhealthy manners. I knew you all were ready and I cannot wait to see my baby sister get married.”
“More like you are ready to send me off to another man.”
“To the man you claim to love so much,” Gabriel responded, approaching his younger sister.
“Fine! I see you won’t miss me a bit so yeah, I am ready to go after the man my heart beats for.”
“You are really a pain in the ass. I am going to miss you!”
Vicky giggled. “I’m going to miss you too.”
“I have not been to a lot of weddings but I think from some movies I have watched, the bride is usually always so emotional on her wedding day. But you seem way too excited. I think Oscar is the nervous one.””
“You saw my baby? How is he?” Victoria asked excitedly. Heaven knew she missed him terribly and couldn’t wait to see him.
“Don’t call him that in my presence.” Gabriel jokingly frowned.
“Of course, She would. I have called you ‘my baby’ several times in front of strangers and family.”
Gabriel playfully glared at his fiancee.
“Oscar is a grown man with almost three kids.”
“Oh, I smell jealousy here” Lara glared at her man.
“No. There is no point getting jealous of my brother-in-law.”
“I don’t know why I am not feeling emotional yet but that doesn’t mean I am not grateful for today. But really? How is
Oscar?”
Excited but anxious.”
Vee smiled at her brother’s response, wondering why Oscar was anxious when it was so clear that they were bound to be together.
“You’ve got yourself an amazing man and I am so happy for you. I wish you and him all the happiness in the world and more babies to come. And you look so beautiful by the way.”
Vicky blushed, returning a hug initiated by her elder brother “Thank you.”
After what felt like forever, it was.time for the wedding. Vicky made sure to pick one of the most beautiful outdoor locations with breathtaking views. The scenery itself was a view to behold. The added decorations even made it more beautiful. It was what anyone would dream of and more.
