Finding You

“Hey,” I said as I smiled.
“Baby, why are you on the floor?”
“Alex pushed me and I twisted my ankle,” I said with a pout.
Alex jumped up and said, “No. No that’s not how it happened. You and Gray were bringing in some stuff from Wild Flower and I didn’t want to ruin it so I gave her a little . . . shove.”
Letting out a laugh, I looked at Alex and said, “Push. It was a push and sure as hell wasn’t little.” Lifting my head, I pointed to Meagan and said, “Meg, tell Noah how hard Alex pushed me.
Meagan shrugged her shoulders and said, “Honestly, Grace you did a very over exaggerated twist of your body. It wasn’t that big of a push.”
Sitting up, I shot Meagan daggers from my eyes as I shook my head and said, “You wait. Pay back is a bitch, Meg.”
Letting out a roar of laughter, Meagan stood up and gave me a go to hell look. “Oh, you’ve already done the worst possible thing to me this weekend, nothing could top it.”
Lifting an eyebrow I asked, “Are you sure you’re willing to bet on that?”
Meagan’s smile dropped as a look of horror crossed over her face. “You wouldn’t.”
“Oh. Oh, yes I would.”
Noah looked between the two of us, as he finally reached down and picked me up. “Hey, Alex, would you mind helping Libby out downstairs? I’m sure Taylor and Meg can help my beautiful bride here with her wedding dress.”
Confused and wondering what was going on, I looked at Noah. “But—”
Placing his finger over my lips, Noah slowly shook his head. “I need you to put your dress on, baby. The pastor is ready and waiting.”
A bubble of happiness began to build inside of me. “Pastor?”
Giving me a smile that made my insides tremble, I said, “He showed up?”
“Colt found one and he’s ready and able to marry us. I just need you to finish getting ready.”
Nodding my head, I smiled. “I love you,” I whispered as he held me tighter.
Setting me on my feet, I grimaced in pain. “Damn it, Grace. What do we do about your ankle?” Taylor asked.
Noah pushed a loose curl behind my ear and said, “Leave it to me. I’ll take care of it. Get ready, baby.”
Taylor jumped as Meagan tried to hold back her excitement and lost out. Soon both her and Taylor were acting like idiots.
“All right, all right. Let’s save the jumping celebrations for when Taylor pops her cherry,” I said as I hopped over to the bed.
“Hey!” Taylor said as she placed her hands on her hips.
Meagan and I both let out a giggle as Taylor spun around and took my dress from where it had been hanging up.
I had no idea what Noah was up to, but I sure as hell couldn’t wait to find out.
Meagan had touched up my makeup as Taylor and Libby took my hair down and started all over again. Libby kept wiping her tears away every time she looked at me.
“Why are you crying so much Libby?” I asked as she shrugged her shoulders and chewed on her lip.
Meagan stood directly in front of me and said, “Lips.”
Jetting my lips out, Meagan applied a light pink lipstick to them. Taking a step back, she smiled and said, “Damn. I should be in Hollywood doing all the actors’ makeup.”
Taylor rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah. Dad would love that.”
Meagan let out a gruff laugh and agreed.
Libby added another piece of babies breath to my hair and then stood back to look at me. “Well? How does it look?” I asked.
Covering her mouth with her hand she said, “You look b-b-beautiful!” And busted out into tears . . . again.
“Jesus H. Christ. What in the hell is wrong with you?” I asked as I stared at Libby.
Meagan and I both looked at Libby as Meagan said, “Shit, if I didn’t know any better I’d say you were—”
Meagan’s voice cut off as she sucked in a breath of air. That’s when it hit me.
“Oh. My. God,” I said as I stood up and tried to balance on one foot.
“Libby?” I asked as my eyes fell to her stomach and then back up to her face.
Smiling from ear to ear, Libby’s cheeks blushed.
“Libby!” I screamed as Alex and Taylor both screamed.
“What? What’s happening?” Alex asked as she walked up to me and then looked at Libby.
