“Well, you two always wanted to be sisters. I didn’t think it was possible, but at this point, who knows?” Sloane said with a laugh as she wrapped her hair around the barrel of the curling iron. She was a bridesmaid along with Rina, as the four of them had always been thick as thieves since they were kids.
“I think Tate and Bernadette make the cutest couple.” Shay held her hands to her chest. She was married to Travis, Lila’s brother, and she was also a bridesmaid.
“I’m guessing there’s a lot of sex going on with them since they’ve both been single for so long,” Sloane added.
“Ewwww,” we all said in unison.
“Why do you always have to take it there?” Delilah rolled her eyes.
“Someone’s got to take it to dirty town. You can count on me.”
My mother helped Lila attach her veil to her long, dark waves that ran down her back. She looked so stunning that a huge lump formed in my throat.
“I wanted to give you these earrings that were my mother’s,” Mom said as she handed Lila the pair of pearl earrings. “This is your something old, sweetheart.”
I glanced over to see Georgia smiling as two tears streamed down her face. Lila was like a sister to both of us, and Lila and my mom had a very close relationship.
“Thank you,” Lila said as she fanned her face with both hands, trying hard not to cry.
“Don’t you dare cry,” Sloane said as she swiped at her own tears. “I just did your makeup perfectly.”
We all wore strapless light pink gowns that ran down to the floor, aside from little Gracie, who wore an adorable white dress, and her hair fell down her back in dark spiral curls.
Everyone was sniffling when a knock came at the door. Georgia hurried to open it, just as all my cousins came flooding in. Some with babies in their arms and toddlers at their sides.
“Hey, happy wedding day,” Dylan said as she sauntered in first. She was wearing a floral maxi dress, and her gorgeous hair was pulled back in a long ponytail. My eyes couldn’t help but move to the small bulge in her stomach.
She turned to hug me as Lila pushed to her feet to greet each one of them. When Dylan pulled back, she smirked. “Yes. My hot husband put a baby in me. I was waiting to tell you when we were all together.”
Georgia squealed, and my mom hurried over to hug Dylan.
“I thought you were waiting?” I asked.
“We were. But we’ve traveled so much this last year, and I don’t know. We like being home. We finished the house we were building in Honey Mountain. And the thought of a little Wolf running around was suddenly all I could think of.”
“I’m so happy for you.”
“Thank you. We’re really excited. Wolf’s still pouting that it happened so quickly. He was looking forward to months of practice.” She waggled her brows before turning to hug Lila. She gushed over the gorgeous princess-cut wedding dress with tulle for days.
I hugged Everly and bent down to give a squeeze to her adorable little toddler, Jackson. Her little girl, Emerson, was a perfect mix of both Everly and Hawk.
Ashlan’s girls, Hadley and Paisley, were both wearing beautiful matching sundresses, with their hair tied up in little buns. They were holding on to their mother’s hands and whispering about something.
“What’s going on?” I whispered back. Both girls looked up at their mama with big smiles.
“Well, I’m going to say it if she won’t.” Dylan shrugged, and Ashlan gave her the slightest nod. “This one got knocked up, too. We’ve been waiting to tell you today, but we were supposed to wait until after the wedding.”
“Are you kidding? Hugh and I love babies, and we’re both thrilled to hear you guys are growing your families. That’s what today is all about, right? Family and love and all being together.”
“Damn it, Lila Mae James. I mean Lila Mae Reynolds,” Delilah said as she swiped at her face. “Why do you always have to make everything so sweet? Sloane, you need to fix my makeup.”
“All right. Are there any more baby announcements before I clean up this mess?” Sloane said with her hands on her hips.
Charlotte chuckled. “Nothing to report over here. The twins keep me plenty busy.” She glanced at the stroller with her two sleeping little angels.
“Hey, if I got lucky enough to have one of each on my first try, I think I’d be done,” Sloane said before turning her attention back to her makeup sprawled on the counter.
“Um.” Vivian winced. “I haven’t even told my sisters yet because we literally found out yesterday. But baby number three is officially on board. I knew something was up when I was craving all those cupcakes these last few weeks.”
