I slap her. “Don’t you dare make me cry.”

“If she cries, I’m murdering everybody,” Ashlyn growls. “It took me fifteen minutes to get her makeup perfect.”

“What are you talking about? I did her makeup,” Moon says.

“And I supervised.”

“If you mean ‘annoyed the hell out of me until I wanted to stab you in the eye with a mascara wand’, then yes you supervised.”

Ashlyn smiles. “Told you I supervised.”

We reach the end of the hallway. “What happened to the barn?”

“I did,” Eden says as she walks over. “You like it?”

I throw my arms around her. “Like it? I love it. Thank you.”

“Is she crying? She better not be crying.” Moon drags me away from Eden to check my face. “Good. I don’t have to kill anyone.”

Someone chuckles and I whirl around to see who it is. Elder’s older brother smiles at me before offering me his arm.

“You ready to do this for real this time?” Damon asks.

I roll my eyes. “It was real the first time.”

“I knew it was, but you didn’t.”

Before I can answer, a guitar begins to play. I search the room until my gaze lands on Lennon at the front of the room strumming his guitar. He begins to sing the lyrics toMarry Meand tears well in my eyes once again.

Soleil hands me a tissue. “Try to not ruin your make-up until Elder sees you at least.”

Damon leads me to the back of the room and everyone stands. I’ve only got eyes for one person. Elder standing at the aisle with our baby in his arms. He smiles at me and my heart warms. My legs carry me toward him without any conscious thought on my part.

“Hold on,” Damon says as he hurries to catch up.

“Hurry up,” I tell him.

He chuckles as he laces my arm through his. “There’s no rush. You have the rest of your lives together.”

I ignore him as we reach Elder and Robin. Damon holds out his hands for the baby but Elder tightens his hold. “No. Robin should be here. She’s part of our family.”

And here I thought I couldn’t love him more. Wrong. Each and every time he shows how much he loves Robin, my love for him grows.

Damon shrugs before slinking away and Ashlyn’s mother moves to stand in front of us. I guess Mrs. West is officiating the ceremony.

“What do you think of your surprise?” Elder asks before she can begin.

“I love it. And I love you.”

“Hold on,” Mrs. West interrupts. “We’re not to the love part yet.”

“Can we skip to the vows and love part?” Elder asks.

She nods. “I understand the bride and groom have written their own vows.”

We have? My eyes widen. I didn’t write any vows. Probably because I didn’t know about this wedding until an hour ago.

“Don’t worry,” Elder whispers. “You can do the standard old vows.”
