"Wow!" Ridge's eyes bug out with his son's foot thundering against us. "Okay, little man. Daddy's gonna get your sister and take your Momma to the alter."

"I'll be the one in pale pink with a matching mini me." I giggle, spinning to rush to the bathroom.

Ridge chuckles as I turn the corner with my dress over my ass. "Damn, I think I like that dress after all."

People, we actually argued over the color of my dress. Yes, you heard me right. Ridge felt it was a grave mis-justice to each of us that I planned to wear a blush pink dress.

I peer out the door as he turns the corner to get Leighton. I can't believe I pushed him away the way I did, I truly will never deserve this man. He's the most amazing father, and God knows he proved that by knocking my ass up when Leighton was only two months old.

"You Alright?" He calls from the living room.

I finish my business and straighten my dress. "Just gotta wash up. She okay?"

"My little princess is perfect, just like her Momma." He's swaying her as I enter the room. My heart thrums as I watch him, wooed by our beautiful girl.

"We might need to get goin' before she has to eat, and I need to pee again." I gasp when Ryder kicks me.

Ridge winks. "He ain't gonna let you forget him."

"He's like his father, I'll never be the same again." I lean, straighten his bow tie and kissing our daughter.

"I love your matching dresses, they're perfect."

"I know how much you wanted me in white, but it's not about the dress, I've already learned that lesson. It's about this," I kiss him. "just us."

He takes my hand, laying it over his heart. "You and me, and babies make four. Forever."

"Now, give me our girl and get down to the alter. I want you to make an honest woman outta me." I wrap Leighton in my arms, only to be cradled in his.

"Harper, you're the best woman I know. I'm on cloud nine, baby." He presses his lips to mine before kissing Leighton's forehead.

There's a quick rap on the door as Landon rushes through it. "Hey, people! Let's get hitched before she ends up pregnant again. Oh, that's right."

"Har. Har, har." I flip him off when he sticks his tongue out at me.

"Please don't upset my wife, not today." Ridge punches my brother in the arm.

He rubs it, glaring at me. "Dang it! Why are you heaping the abuse on the brother of the bride? She's the one putting a ball and chain on you."

"She thought it was the best way," Ridge waggles his brows at me. "to keep Scout away from me."

"You know what, give me my niece, y'all are on your own." Landon scoops the baby into his arms and hurries out the door.

Ridge turns to me, holding his hand out in front of him just as the music starts playing outside. "Are you ready to become my wife?"

"I suppose so, since you're already my life." He tugs me into his side.

"Let's take a walk." He leads me over to the wall of glass, stepping out onto our patio.

In the distance, our family, and friends gather under a tent, by the old barn where our love began and grew with each passing year. The grounds are decorated in pink roses and gold accents.

Ridge and I walk, hand in hand, to the alter standing against the barn doors. The tree house swing is adorned with roses and white daises laced with gold leaves and wisps of organza.

His hold on me is tighter than the first night we made love, yet it's soft and sweet, just like his love. Ridge reaches over, laying his hand on my belly when my breath hitches.

"He's already the epitome of his father." I giggle to Ridge's delight. He helps me up the steps and turns to the brood of people.

"Hey, y'all. Harper and I are thrilled to have each and every one of you here to witness our love and to watch my dream come true, one I never imagined that would." I lay my head against his shoulder. It's piled high on my head with a ring of miniature pink roses adorning it.
