We carried the ceremony over to the huge canopy, my mom had a strict sitting chart that everyone had to follow. Faust, the kids and I sat in the center. Soft music played as we all talked, everyone shared stories about us even embarrassing ones.
I remember when my beautiful sister in law piledrivered my ass to the ground because she thought I was hitting on Faust. Serena laughs, a harsh blush covered my cheeks. Of course at the time she didn’t know I was his sister, but all is forgiven because that just made me realize how much she actually cared for my big brother.
I smiled at her, my husband wrapped his arm around my small waist while looking at me, I was starting to get nervous under his heavy glaze.
Thank you Adora, for simply loving my brother. Serena raised her glass up in the air, I lifted mine up to.
I leaned in to kiss him, he softly trapped my chin with his fingers.
God, you’re so perfect. He says.
Don’t start making me blush. I told him with a stern look, he chuckled knowing exactly what he was doing.
Serena took a seat back with her wife, my mom shared a few words and so did my uncle.
It’s our turn to make a speech. He whispers inside my ear knowing damn well I’m ticklish, my shoulder rubbed my ear.
My mom is going to kill me for not telling her sooner. I chuckled, quietly.
Holding hands we stood up, I was beyond nervous of how everyone is going to react mostly worried about the kids reaction.
I just want to thank everyone for coming and celebrating my wife and I. Faust says, he glanced at me. We do have a huge announcement to make.
Mom don’t kill me for not telling you first. I chuckled, nervously.
His hand tightened around mine, my free hand softly pulled something out of his back pocket. I held the small picture to my stomach, it was a ultrasound picture of our baby.
Miliana Santos is coming January 10 2021. I announced.
Faust and I have known for a while that I was pregnant but we wanted to announce it in front of everyone, and when we found out the gender we were both over thrilled. Our sweet baby girl, she’s a sign of growth and forgiveness, my due date is my dad’s birthday.
It took everyone a second to actually process what I just said, all their eyes were on my small belly. Kenzo and Livia were the first ones who reacted to the news, they both seemed so excited to hear the news.
And here I thought you were just getting fat. Serena says, everyone laughs including me.
I spotted my mom, she was sobbing and trying to wipe her nose at the same time. She stands up slowly and walks over to me, she stares at my belly for a while longer before pulling me into her warm arms.
That explains the pickle table in the corner. My mom says, I giggled.
All I’ve been craving is pickles. I huffed. Like non stop.
Everyone giggled, the party resumed while my ultrasound picture was passed around to multiple tables. Faust kept his hand on my belly the entire time till it was time for our first dance, his hand crawled to my very own. The lights dimmed just a little, the singer we hired started singing softly.
His hand wrapped around my waist, my stomach met his, our hands intertwined together. Our noses touched gently as our bodies started to swiftly move across the dance floor.
You hired a country singer. I whispered.
Grinnin’ like a possum eatin’ a sweet tater. He says with a fake southern accent, my nose scrunched as I playfully shook my head.
What does that even mean ? I asked.
Shit, I don’t even know. He laughs, my eyes quickly shut slowly when I focused on his breathing pattern.
We were silent for a bit, only our bodies communicated with our slow strokes on the dance floor.
I was made for loving you
Our eyes opened and met each other at the same time, in all honesty, it’s a beautiful sight to see him so consumed with me. It took us so long to get where we are at now, all the hurt that came between us and all the misery that came after didn’t ruin us.
You know. He speaks up. You fixed me in every way possible, you found qualities in me that I didn’t even know were there.
We fixed each other and most importantly healed each other. I replied. I surely wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you and your idiotic ways that I love very much.
We both chuckled, his eyes watered slightly as he stared into mine.
My kids were the only thing keeping me going until I met you. He whispers, if I weren’t so close to him I’d probably miss it. I never knew that as much as he saved me, I saved him.
My hand softly touched his cheek, my thumb ran strokes across his stubble chin.
Ti amo, carina. He tells me, he doesn’t allow my eyes to flaunter away.
I leaned in to kiss him, when his lips touched mine it felt like my body was starting to levitate. It felt like the very first time all over again, it always feels like that with him.
I love you. I whispered against his soft lips.
The End
