Aww...he is crying! He is crying that he loves me and so happy to see me in this wedding dress. That made my heart swell with love and at the same time, my eyes glassed that he is crying. I wiped it away before he can see it.Jason offered him a tissue, he touched up and exhaled a breath. I rubbed his hands he smiled and started to read the vow, "Ana, you are my person, my inspiration, my love, and my everything. I cannot wait to spend a lifetime loving you, waking up next to you. Let's build ourselves a home with life and family from our bonds of true love and our vows to stick together through life's challenges. Today you will be my life, but we will be soulmates forever" he finished letting out a breath.This is the loveliest thing I ever heard in my life. Thank God! He finished it soon otherwise I'll be crying like a little girl.The priest looked at me and smiled, "Ana Thomas, your wedding vow, please?"Henna handed me the paper, "Chris, Thank God that you finished your vows, Cause you took all the good thing to say about us".He and others chuckled."When I first met you, that 10 minutes meant nothing to me. But, now I'm thanking that 10 minutes every day in my life. I thought I'll never find a guy who'll understand me and accept my imperfections, but you did. So, you have no choice, you have to put up with me until the end of your life. I love you, Christopher Mike Rovan even if you nag me with your Disney movies and man child activities".He looked at me with love, "God! I love you so much".The priest spoke, "Alright! Now Bride and Groom can exchange the rings".Jason and Nyra handed the rings to us. We exchanged with each other.The priest continued, "Now, the power invested in me, I pronounce you as the Husband and Wife. Bride and Groom can kiss each other".Chris pulled me into his arms and placed his lips on mine like he was waiting for this moment so long. He cried again, his droplets of tears fell on my cheek, "I love you" he repeated again."I love you too. Please, Don't cry".He wiped his tears away and laughed, "You are the most beautiful and loveliest bride, I've ever seen"."Thank you"."Shall we?" He showed his arms.I interlocked my arms with his and walked out of the aisle. Everybody throwed rice at us and clapped. Finally! I'm Mrs. Rovan. I don't know it kinda made me proud and gave me goosebumps.We cutted our cake and did our first dance in the venue. Guests started to dance, have some champagne and cake.Chris glanced me up and down while we are dancing."Chris! Stop! Why are you looking me like this?""I don't know. I couldn't stop it, you are looking different today".I wrapped my arms around his neck and he grabbed my waist. We made a few steps, behind us 'All of me' song played in speakers."Is this a good different or bad different?""Definitely, the first one. Right now, I just wanna take you somewhere alone and show you how much you got me turned on"."When will you stop being dirty?""I don't know" he shrugged his shoulders, "You're with me till the end, so..." He made his thinking face, "So, I guess never"."I hate to say this, but you kinda infected me. I too wanna us to be somewhere alone"."Really?" His eyes glowed, "Okay then, let's Prepon our honeymoon trip, we can start this afternoon to Italy instead of tomorrow morning"."Umm...Are you sure?""Of course, Jason and Chuck will handle that. So, what do you say?""I'm in" I kissed him, "But, we have a thing to do before that".After the dance, everyone gave our toast to us. Time rolled on and it reached afternoon.I changed from my white dress to salmon-colored Knit sweater and grey jean pants. Chris too changed into a Mustard knit sweater and blue jeans. Now, it's time for the bouquet toss.Girls lined up to catch it. I looked where Jamie is standing and went near him. He looked at me with confusion. I handed him the bouquet.Mac from behind touched Jamie's shoulder. He turned back to look at him, I went near Chris and grabbed his waist. He wrapped his arms around his shoulders bringing me closer to him. I looked at them with excitement.Mac went on his knees and proposed to Jamie, "Jamie Drew, I've been trying to ask this for a month. I don't know how to ask it, that's when Ana suggested it" he looked at me.I showed my thumbs-up. He continued, "Jamie Drew, will you marry me?" Can we start our life together?"Jamie squealed in joy, "Omg! Mac! I never seen this coming. Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes and Ana thank you so much for giving him the gut"."Not a problem".Mac stood up and they kissed each other. All clapped for them, especially our friends they jumped and hugged each other."So, this is the thing you were talking about?" Chris asked me happily."Mm-hmm. Mac asked for an idea and I suggested it"."I'm very happy for then. Now, to our thing, can we start our honeymoon?" He pointed at the car where James is waiting for us in the driver's seat.I kissed him, "You don't have to ask me twice".Two Years Later,    "Ana, come out! We can't be late. Jamie is gonna kill us" I knocked on the bathroom door.Jamie and Mac adopted a baby girl a week before. Now, they are naming him and throwing a party."Ana...please...you look beautiful in everything. Can you come out?" I pleaded with her.After a minute, she came out in her body con dress."You still didn't do your hair? Ugh...Ana Do you know that we should be there to help him? We are already 10 minutes behind..."She showed the pee stick with two lines, "We are pregnant" she shouted joyfully.I stopped talking and looked at her unbelieving, "Omg! Are you serious?"She nodded happily, "I'm late on my periods and decided to check and...this is the result".I hugged and swirled her around happily. She squealed in joy, I kissed her all over, "Ana, I've been waiting for this like a year".A year ago, we decided to have a child and now it's happening."I know...I know...and I'm happy too"."Omg! Is that mean we are going to be parents? Omg! Am I going to be Dad?" I touched her tummy."Yeah...yeah...and you are okay with this?""Of course, yeah. It's new for me. But, I am going to show him my best version. I'm gonna do everything with him and gonna show actual love of a father which we never got. I'm gonna be the coolest dad ever"."I love you" she kissed me, "Hey! Can we stop to the Doctor before going to the party?""Hell, yeah"."Well, what about the delay?" She crossed her arms."I can manage it with something. Even I can take the blame".She touched her tummy, "Did you listen to that sweetie? He is not ready to reason for me, but for you, he is ready to throw himself under the bus".I chuckled, "Seriously! I can't wait for 9 months"."I'm sure you gonna be the good cop and I'm the bad cop to the baby".After a week,     After confirming the pregnancy with the doctor, we were overjoyed. I've already started to pick up names and toys for the baby. I don't care whoever it is, I just wanna the baby to be healthy.Today we came back to see our first ultrasound of our child and hear its heartbeat. I sat near her, while the doctor applied some gel on her stomach.She smiled and asked, "So guys, ready?"We both nodded happily like a child. Ana held my fingers within her's. We both looked at the monitor.While the doctor moved the transducer on her belly, I eagerly waited for the baby to show up. But we couldn't see it."Strange! Last week the baby was healthy and I've seen it" she moaned under her breath.After a few minutes, Doctor looked up at us with a confused face, "Umm...Chris why don't you meet us in my room? I need to do some check up on Ana"."Why? What happened?" I panicked, "Is she in trouble?""No...No...Nothing that of. I need to confirm one thing. Don't worry she's gonna be alright. Can you please wait in my room?" She requested."Okay" I stood up kissing her forehead, "I'm just next door to you".She smiled forcefully.I came to her room. After a few minutes, Ana came inside, followed by her Doctor, "Mr. and Mrs. Rovan take your seat please".We both sat opposite her. Ana interlocked my fingers with her and she was trembling. I rubbed her knuckles softly. I felt something bad.The doctor before me exhaled and asked Ana, "Ana, Have you been experiencing painful periods?""Umm...yeah...since...since it started. Why Doctor, is there any problem?" She was scared."Why you didn't take treatment for that?"She gulped her saliva, "Because...Because I thought I can manage it"."Ana, I know about your story. Answer me honestly, you didn't take that treatment because of what your fath...sorry Peter Collins did to you?"She nodded reluctantly, droplets of tears fell out of his eyes.I asked her, "Doc, why are you asking this? Is there any problem?"She sighed deeply, "I'm so sorry, guys. You have a miscarriage. Her uterus is too weak to hold a baby. I mean, it'll grow up to a certain stage like this, and eventually, it'll abort before it can enter into the next stage. I'm really sorry about this...it's happening because of the" she paused for a second, "This is because of the sexual assault Ana experienced".
