She twisted and twirled as she admired her swelling body, knowing it was for the best cause.
Veronica laughed. “I hope I’m as blissful as you if I were to ever get pregnant.”
“Well, you just gotta make sure you really want it is all.” Sara laughed as she grabbed her bouquet of lilies. “Shall we?”
Her soon-to-be-sister-in-law smiled at her. “Xavier’s going to have a tough time keeping his shit together when he sees you. It’ll be great.”
Sara smiled but rolled her eyes as she passed by Veronica.
“Don’t make fun of him if he does.”
“Nope. Not making that promise.”
They walked down the stairs, and Sara peeked into the backyard where she had first met the pack.
It was now decorated with lilies that matched her bouquet on the centers of all the small round tables. There was a makeshift archway made from bending green limbs to the form needed and tied together with hemp twine. A white cloth draped over it with more lilies stuck through it and the twine.
The sun was setting just beyond the trees, but the warmth of the day had decided to stay for a while longer.
It was simple and perfect. Because in the end, she would be married to Xavier, and they would have a full family, even before this child entered the world.
Their little one would know a loving family from beginning to end and what a strong relationship, as well as love, looked like.
Sara’s eyes started to water at the warm thoughts.
“Stop that!” Veronica instructed. “We don’t want to ruin your makeup right before you go out there.” She dabbed Sara’s eyes with a tissue.
“I’m fine, really. I have waterproof mascara on.”
“I don’t care what the bottle says. Everyone can tell if tears have been shed.”
Sara stopped fighting and let Veronica take the helm while she could.
She looked out again and saw the seats filling as the pack settled in. She caught a glimpse of Xavier as he walked to the front to stand in the archway.
He was so handsome. He had on the suit he’d worn the first day they’d met.
That time rushed back to Sara.
It seemed so long ago when in reality, it had only been a few months.
“God, your brother is drool-worthy.” Sara sighed as she watched him adjust his tie.
“Gross, Sara. I don’t want to hear that even from his mate.” Veronica gave her a dramatic, sickened look before laughing.
Sara suddenly felt nervous. It wasn’t that she was having doubts, but the fact that soon she would have to walk in front of everyone and be on display. That never sat well with her.
She just had to keep in mind what the end game was.
She and Xavier united as one in front of the pack.
“Thank you for being here with me,” she told Veronica. “In all seriousness, it means a lot. Especially after everything that you and your brother have gone through with each other.”
Veronica’s eyes mirrored the exact color of her brother’s. It was as if Sara was staring at him for a moment, and she felt more comforted.
“Of course. I wouldn’t miss this for anything.” Veronica rubbed Sara’s shoulder in a big sister’s way and looked outside. “Looks like everything is set. Are you ready?”
Sara nodded as her heart quickened.
