Your Lost Boy
Nineteen
Once our walk down the aisle was done, Alex and I stayed back with his parents, Micah, and our wedding party for pictures. Alex and I posed in a couple of traditional post ceremony poses and then we did a couple that accented us being expecting parents. The photo shoot flew by and before we knew it, it was time to join our guests in the ballroom for the reception.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, give a nice warm welcome for the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Gaskarth," the DJ announced over his PA system and played some song that we had picked for our entrance into the ballroom.
Alex and I sat in the center of a long table with the wedding party. Jack and Jasmin sat together on Alex's left and Micah sat a seat away from me since I asked for an empty placesetting to honor my mom. I hadn't planned that into the seating arranges, Alex had surprised me with it at the rehearsal. Then Rian and Cassadee sat together next to Jamin. Zack and May sat together on the otherside of Micah to roudn out the wedding party table.
"So we would like to announce to everyone that our newly married bride and groom are expecting as you can tell. In December they will be welcoming their son Thomas Alexander and their daughter Stella Marie. So the dollar dance that will comence later tonight, will be peformed by the best man, Jack, and bride's maid Cassadee, to help get their nursery together and throw a baby shower in a couple weeks," the DJ said as Jack and Cassadee rose from their seats so people knew who was going to be collecting the money.
"Alex I thought it was tradition for the bride and groom to do the dollar dance," I whispered to him.
"With what the doctor said about keeping you off your feet as much as possible, I'm enforcing it. We'll still have our first dance and you'll have a dance with Micah while I dance with my mom. After that, I'm going to have seated as much as possible. I don't want you to stress your body out too much," Alex was very protecive of me. Thank god he is too, but he needs to tone it down a couple notches.
"Now that everyone has finished dinner, we will be opening the dance floor soon. But can we please have Micah Cole and Isobel Gaskarth join the bride and groom for the father/daughter and mother/son dance. Since Juila's father is currently in prison, Micah is filling in," the DJ announced as Alex helped me out of my seat and down to the dance floor.
Micah and I danced along to the song Alex had picked out for the dance. Micah kept it slow and easy, jsut swaying with me to the music since I'm in a fragile state right now with two babies still growing in my pretty huge baby bump.
"I'm really happy for you, Juli," Micah beamed.
"I'm pretty happy too," I replied.
"You've been able to find happiness when you ahd so much shit happen in your life. It's made you a stronger person. I'm glad you're my best friend and surrogate sister. I know Alex will make you very happy," he smiled and kissed my forehead. I loved him so much as a brother. He's been my friend since kindergarten.
"Now can we have the bride and groom share their first dance together," the DJ switched songs to No Idea, which didn't surprise me since I am married to the man that wrote it.
"Excellent song choice," I commented as we started dancing the same way Micah and I had.
"I know right. It jsut fit perfectly and I loved the lyrics and the flow of the music," he added with a huge smile on his face.
Once the reception was over, Alex and I got into the limo he booked to take us home for our wedding night. Traditionally, the bride and groom have wedding night sex. Tonight, we were going to plan out what we were going to paint the nursery in and watch some home movies Alex's mom gave me at the rehearsal dinner so I can see how my husband was when he was a kid. That and so she can embarrass her son too.
"We've got one thing done on our to do list. Now we only have the nursery painting to do, a baby shower to hold, and babies to be born," I told Alex as he came into the living room with a bowl of Vanilla bean ice cream with cruched oreoes on top. I had a massive craving for them.
"I was thinking on getting a ngiht sky painted on the ceiling for the nursery. Then maybe a panoramic painting of Neverland on the walls and the on the door to the two stars in the sky with an S and T in each and the quote 'Second star to the right, and straight on till morning.' in really nice script by the stars," Alex suggested.
"We can do the stars with an S and T in each, but no quote. It makes it sound like we're playing favorites between the twins," I told him.
"Good point, Mrs. Gaskarth," Alex smiled and kissed me with his ice cream tasting lips.
"I always have a good point, Mr. Gaskarth," I replied and kissed him back.
"We did it, Jules. We're finally married," Alex sighed happily.
"I know, I'm happy. Now I just need to get these babies out of me and we can get our family up and running in no time," I smiled warmly at my loving husband, still taking in the fact we belong to each other until death do us part. Which I hope will happen when we die of old age, not just me in child brith.
The idea of giving birth to my twins still scared the living shit out of me. I know this fear won't go away until I live to see my babies in my arms, sleeping soundly or screaming at the top of their little baby lungs.
