“Got it.” Cameron saluted me and headed for the bar that had been set up for us while we waited.
Megan sidled up to me and leaned to whisper in my ear. “I need your help.”
Her expression was pained, a bad look for the happiest day of her life. “Of course, anything. What’s going on?”
She bit her lip. “Abby and Gia are missing, I think they snuck out to see their boyfriends, and…I need to pee!”
I threw my head back, laughing at her dilemma. We’d talked about the difficulty of getting out from the layers and layers of fairy tale tulle at her fitting, and now we were living it.
“I’ve got you, let’s do this.”
Thankfully, the venue had a large private bathroom for us, so the two of us got to work. I collected an armful of fabric and stood off to the side of her while Megan did what she had to do. We giggled like idiots because of the absurdity of the whole thing.
“You know you’re next up at the altar, right?” Megan asked when we finally finished and met at the sink. “You’re already halfway there.” She nodded at the promise ring on my finger.
“It’s funny, we haven’t even talked about it,” I mused. “We’re just enjoying our life together so much that it’s not a consideration yet.”
“I get that,” she replied. “But you do want to marry him, right? You don’t have doubts or anything?”
“Oh my gosh, no! I’d marry him tonight if he asked me.”
“Does he know that?” Megan asked as she leaned closer to the mirror to check her eye makeup.
I opened my mouth to answer her, then snapped it shut. “You know what? I haven’t outright said it.”
Megan turned to look at me. “Maybe you should. Especially if there are babies on the horizon.”
“Excuse me? Babies?” I squeaked back at her. “Oh my god, no, not for a long time. Why are you even thinking about that?”
She watched me in silence for a few seconds as a smile spread across her beautiful face.
“Can you keep a secret?”
“Megan!” I breathed out in shock. “Are you…”
She nodded.
I started hopping around her like a fool, screaming silently because I was sure she’d just given me classified information. I finally pulled her into a hug.
“Oh my gosh, congrats! This is amazing!”
She squeezed me, then pulled away. “It’s also a major secret. Hardly anyone knows, but I wanted to tell you today.”
“Did Aiden tell Cameron?”
Megan shook her head. “Not yet, but I’m sure he’ll let him know by the end of the night, before we leave on the honeymoon. It’s still really early, we probably shouldn’t even be talking about it, but I’m just too darn excited.”
“I’m so happy for you,” I beamed at her. “For both of you.”
“Thank you.” She reached out to grasp my hands. “Like I said, you’re next. But first you have to talk to Cameron. Tell him what you want.”
“You’re right. I will, I promise. And don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. I want Aiden to be the one to tell Cam. It’s going to be a special moment.”
“We both have so many adventures ahead of us…sister-in-law.”
I laughed and wagged my finger at her. “To be!”
We stumbled out of the bathroom to find the groom and his best man waiting for us right outside the door.
