“Is it true? You’re getting married with a baby on the way?” Man, she did not hold back. The three of us watched as the former golden duo sparred with their words and eyes. The tension was beyond palpable.
“ It’s in two weeks’ time. You are all invited,” Toby said calmly, but the veins on the side of his neck were bulging, instantly making his anger evident. He was in love with Lucy, but the stubborn, demented woman wouldn’t take him back.
“ How quaint; an instant family! Congratulations! I hope it’s all you’ve ever hoped for and all you have ever dreamt of. I’m sure Amelia is delighted to be pregnant.” Lucy’s barbed words shot out of her mouth.
Toby shook his head before responding to her. “No, it wasn’t what I had dreamt of having. Not even close. I’ll try to make the most out of it, though. Amelia isn’t all that bad. She truly adores me and, in some way, I like that about her. I don’t have to constantly fight about getting my way because she agrees with me.” He gave her a curt nod before he spun around and directed his next words to both Chad and Blake, “Time to head out and get this horny bastard married.”
With the giddy Chad in tow, the guys went out while Lucy and I followed.
It was a beautiful garden wedding, with a black carpet aisle scattered with hot pink and white roses and the cozy pergola was covered with white and pink roses as well. The whole place smelled of roses, romance, love and the celebration of life that was to occur. The ceremony was touching. Even though Lucy and I tried to hold back the tears, it was impossible not to blubber by the end.
“ Forgot to bring tissues, didn’t you, poppet?” Blake handed me his monogrammed handkerchief and I smiled gratefully to my Knightly.
“ You always think of everything.”
As I wiped my tears cautiously, his lips caressed my ears, sending delicious tingles all over me. “I can’t help imagining it’ll be us getting married soon.”
I poked him, sniffing. “Not yet. Let me finish my school then I’m all yours, babe.”
Blake tugged on my hand, kissing the back of it. “Someday.”
“ Thank you.” I gently smiled at him, knowing how much he wanted to get married this instant, if I had wished it.
“ Never say that. We’re in this together. Your need to finish your education is admirable and something you shouldn’t have to apologize to anyone for.” Blake kissed my forehead and then focused back on the ceremony.
For the entire duration, he held my hand. I knew, deep down, Blake already had everything mapped out for our future, but I needed some time to achieve my own goals. As much as I wanted to marry him, I craved finding my purpose before I submerged myself into married life.

Toby left the minute he saw Chad was beyond plastered. As did Lucy, muttering some hideous excuse about schoolwork. Shaking my head, I stood up, handing out my hand. “Dance with me, amore.” Sienna smiled, taking my hand as I led us towards the crowded dance floor, gathering her close, more besotted than I ever had been.
“ So what do you think of the party?” I peered at her, noting the dreamy look she had as she looked around with a smile across her lips.
“ Simply beautiful. I love events like these. It never fails to make me want to celebrate love.”
That was a good sign, I thought, weighing things before I ultimately conceded and bit the bullet. “Sienna, I know you’re not ready for a wedding until you’re done with school, or perhaps even after that; whenever you’re emotionally and mentally ready to make the next step for our future.” I paused, waiting for some kind of reaction from her, but she kept quiet so I continued to speak my thoughts. “I don’t mind waiting for you and I have already
