"margaret you look beautiful," i kissed her forehead.

"thanks," she smiles. "and thanks for being my maid (matron) of honor."

"how could i not be?" i tilted my head. "that's insanity. you're literally my best friend."

"stop don't make me cry," she started blinking her eyes. "where's nae-nae?"

"oh my god," i shook my head. "she begged billie to make her a burrito after she had already gotten dressed and she ended up wasting some on the dress."

marg gasped. "no."

"yes," i nodded. "your flower girl is running a bit late because billie just can't tell her no."

"i mean think about it though," margie started. "it was probably a win win for billie because she loves burritos too. im sure she made herself one."

"oh she definitely did," i chuckled. "that's been her number one craving during her pregnancy. that and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches."

"billie is honestly the funniest pregnant woman ever," marg laughed.

"oh speaking of the devil," i said as i turned around, seeing naomi and billie walking into the spacious dressing room.

"hi pretty girl," i kneeled down to naomi. "you all cleaned up?"

"yes mommy," she smiled as she jumped up and down.

yes, naomi is 2 years old now. :')

i stood up and looked at billie. "how's babygirl?" i asked before pecking her on the lips.

"kicky," she rose her eyebrows as she rubbed her belly.

"aw," i giggled as i rubbed her belly too. "we're almost there mama."

"i feel like she's gonna be a lil badass," b chuckled.

i laughed. "with a big sister like naomi, im sure she will."

"hey don't talk about my nae-nae," margie said as she picked naomi up and placed her on her lap. "she's the sweetest girl ever."

"easy to say when you're not with her everyday," billie rose her eyebrows.

"no way her terrible twos are that bad," marg said.

"wanna find out?" i asked.

"nope im good," marg chuckled as she let naomi off her lap.

"she's sweet when she wanna be," i picked her up as she pranced over to me. "did you finish your burrito?" i asked her in a baby tone.

naomi nodded with a smile.

"was it everything you dreamed it be?" i asked in more excited tone, making billie laugh.

"yes," she giggled. "mama had two."

"of course she did," i giggled. "cause she's eating for two."

"billie probably would've ate two regardless," margie chuckled.

"very true," billie chuckled. "oh yeah. sorry i couldn't be a bridesmaid anymore margie."

"oh girl i've told you plenty times that it is okay," marg waved her hand in dismissal. "it's not your fault leilani knocked you up," she joked, making us laugh.

-

the wedding began and the bridesmaids began walking down the isle, being escorted by the groomsmen.

because im maid/ matron of honor, i don't get escorted. so when it was my turn, i walked down the isle by myself in the beautiful olive green dress she had all her bridesmaids wear.

the ring bearer then came down, who was just margie's nephew.

then it was time for the flower girl, who was my dear naomi. she walked down the isle in the cutest little dress that margie let me pick out for her.

as she walked, she reached into the basket to throw out her flowers. she seemed to be enjoying herself as she had no idea what was even going on.

the crowd was in awe though. naomi reached the end of the isle where she was met with billie who was sitting in one of the first few rows of the audience.

billie picked naomi up and placed her on her lap. then she pointed at me and whispered "look at mommy."

this caused nae-nae to go "hi mommy!" out loud, waving her little hand.

the crowd awed and i blew a kiss at our daughter while giggling.

then my beautiful friend margaret walked down the isle and got married to ethan. i think i mentioned him to you guys before. he treats margie so well and billie and i have grown to love him like a brother.

the wedding was beautiful and we were now in the reception. the atmosphere and vibes were great. and most importantly, margie looked so happy.

we were all sitting at tables, eating and just talking amongst each other while the live band was playing in the background.

"oh it's time," billie said lowly to me as she stood up. she then walked up on the stage, joining the live band.

"hello guys," billie said into the mic, getting everyone's attention. "margie and ethan, congratulations. i love you both."

margie and ethan smiled at her.

"marg, i know you told me it was okay that i couldn't be your bridesmaid," she started. "but i couldn't stand not doing something for you on this special day."

"margie used to always tell me what her favorite song of mine is," b continued. "so i hope it's okay if i sing it tonight."

margie's mouth dropped in shock and in awe. she put her hand over her heart as if she was trying not to tear up.

some men then brought billie a chair to sit in, so she wouldn't have stand with her big baby belly. they also lowered the microphone so it could reach her.

billie cleared her throat before saying. "margie and ethan, this is for you guys."

the live band began playing, and billie began singing halley's comet.

(that live version is so beautiful 😭 ^)

by the end of the song, everyone was basically in tears, including billie.

"ugh, okay let me get down before i start sobbing," she said into the mic, making the crowd laugh.

margie got up and ran to the stage to hug her. i then went up to the stage to help billie down the stairs and escort her back over to our table where we were sitting.

safe to say it was a good night.

- a week later -

back in hawaii

"i know baby," i told billie softly. "i know."

"it hurts lani," she whined to me as she squeezed her eyes shut.

"we're almost there," i told her as i drove to the hospital.

once we got there, billie was rushed to a room. we got in there and she gripped the handles of the bed as she took deep breaths in pain from the contractions.

"im right here love," i assured her. "it won't last long."

unless it does.

"billie," one of our regular nurses said as she came in. "would you like an epidural?"

"no," b shook her head.

i looked at her. "you sure?"

"yeah i've heard horror stories about that shit," she said. "im good. i can handle it."

"okay," the nurse grinned.

"your family is getting on you guys' private jet so they can get here as soon as possible," i told bil.

all she did was nod.

-

about 4 hours passed and i was able to get some sleep on the couch beside billie's hospital bed. billie was able to sleep for maybe 30 minutes but it didn't do much for her.

"lani lani," billie said frantically, waking me up.

i quickly shot up from the couch, barely awake. "yeah baby?"

"she's coming," billie said. "like now."

"oh- okay okay," i said as i realized it was time.

..

our second baby was born at 5:28am.

her name is sage.

she's so beautiful and has ocean eyes, just like her mama.

her family and friends arrived from los angeles right on time and maggie cut the chord. my family of course came, and brought naomi too. her reaction was the sweetest as she kept saying "widdle shister."

riley showed up too, just like she did when naomi was born.

and because margie is living in los angeles now with ethan, she flew in a little later, though it was still the same day.

she walked into the hotel room around 4pm that day.

"i got here as soon as i could," she rushed in.

"shhhh," i giggled, pointing to billie who was finally able to get some shut eye.

i was really so happy that she was finally resting because my baby had a long night. and she looked so beautiful and peaceful.

"oh," margie covered her mouth as she now began to whisper.

she then walked over to where the baby was and immediately teared up.

"oh my god she looks just like billie," the tears began to fall from her eyes.

"i know," i poked my lip out. "im in love."

"i wonder if she'll be into music," marg said.

i chuckled. "with a mom like billie, it's gonna be inevitable."
