Friends With Kids
Mrs Valary Sanders
“You may now kiss the bride!” The minister said happily from in front of Matt and Val, everybody cheered as he swooped her around and lowered her before kissing her romantically.
I was standing on Val’s side of the alter behind Michelle, who was maid of honour, Lacey was behind me and two of Val’s cousins were behind her, I looked over to Zacky who was smiling widely at our best friends and clapping as they started to walk back up the aisle together, the guys had been stood on Matt’s side, Brian was best man, Zacky stood behind him, Jimmy behind Zacky and then Johnny behind Jimmy.
“I can’t believe they’re really married,” Michelle sniffed
“I know, but hey, we’re in law’s now!” I laughed, wiping a few tears away.
The happy couple had left and all the guests were piling out of the church to their cars to make their way to the hall for dinner and the party, all of the bridesmaids and grooms men piled into the same limo and headed to the venue too. We all made idle conversation about the wedding and what we were going to do while Matt and Val were on they honeymoon.
“Bella and I should plan the Halloween party!” Zacky exclaimed, clicking his fingers once.
“Yes! I love planning parties!” I exclaimed “And, I’m going to have the best costume ever this year,” I said, sticking my nose in the air.
“Oh yeah, you can’t be slutty this year, you’re too pregnant for that,” Michelle laughed
“Shut up you, you get to impress your man,” I said, nudging Brian who was on my other side
“Although we’re already married we’ve still got it,” Brian said, taking a sip of champagne.
Once at the venue everyone ate dinner and the toasts were made, everyone laughed at Brian’s, and although I was just a bridesmaid, I was also the sister of the groom so I had to make a speech.
“God, I don’t know why I listened to Jimmy when he told me just to wing this,” I laughed nervously into the microphone I was holding in my right hand while my left hand rested on top of my stomach, everyone laughed too “I can’t believe you guys finally did it, I know Brian told all of the funny stories about you guys in high school, but I have to say, I knew this was going to happen one day… playing as kids, touring together when you guys first started out? It was obvious that Val was in this for the long run. A lot of sisters get bitchy about losing their brothers – especially their twin, to some girl she doesn’t know, but not me. If anyone was going to tie Matt down, I’m glad it was you Val, you’re my best friend and..” I sniffed “Sorry, hormones…” Everyone laughed a little and awed “You’re my best friend and you married my brother, now you’re the sister I never had, but I don’t just get one sister, I get two,” I cried, looking to Michelle beside me who stood and hugged me tightly, I couldn’t stop crying to Jimmy took the microphone out of my hand and Michelle kept a hold of me, Val made her way over to us and hugged me too, the three of us cried together and I could hear a few sniffs and sobs from the guests.
Matt’s P.O.V
I’ll admit that Bella’s speech had me crying too, but no one noticed, Val and Michelle cried with her and after Jimmy said some things to get the guests laughing again since a few were crying the party continued, Val and I danced our first dance to A Thousand Years and then Val danced with her dad and I danced with her mom before we danced with my parents. People were getting pretty wasted, I was tipsy, I didn’t want to be too drunk for the wedding night.
“Come on dude, let’s get you another drink!” Brian slurred and pulled me over to the bar.
Brian, Johnny, Jimmy and I were all standing at the bar where we could see the dance floor when I’ll Be by Edwin McCain started playing and a few moments later I saw Zacky leading Bella onto the empty dance floor. The DJ turned the spotlight on and settled it on them and I saw everyone turn around and watch. I knew Zacky loved ballroom dancing, he was fancy that way but I didn’t know Bella could dance like that, but maybe she couldn’t but Zacky was leading and the two of them look amazing together, although Bella had her 8 month baby bump now the two of them fitted together perfectly. I know my mom and Zacky’s mom were pushing them to be together and I knew that they should be, they would get there in their own time, so I wasn’t going to push anything.
“They look good together don’t they?” Jimmy asked from beside me
“They sure do,” I breathed, smiling, watching my sister dance with my best friend
“I kind of always thought that maybe, just maybe that would be me instead of him,” He sighed and I turned to look at him, shocked.
“What?”
“I had a thing for Bells for a year or something and I never did anything about it, but I’m happy for her,” He said, smiling, watching them too.
Bella’s P.O.V
Zacky lead me out to the dance floor which was empty when I’ll Be by Edwin McCain started playing. Zacky loved ballroom dancing, I knew that, but I didn’t know I could do it. I felt the spotlight settling on us and everyone in the room fell silent and I could feel their eyes burning into my back, Zacky lead me around the floor, twisting and turning, burling and twirling.
“You look beautiful,” He whispered in my ear “Not just tonight,” He added, I looked up at him, a little stunned and he just smiled before moving around the whole floor again. At the last parts of the song Zacky pulled me close to him, I moved both of my hands to his neck and his went to my lower back, I leaned my head on his chest and he moved us from side to side, the baby started kicking and Zacky noticed too, he pulled away from me and moved down so he was crouching in front of me with his hands on my stomach and the baby kicked again.
“He knows his daddy makes his mommy happy,” I told him with a smile plastered on my face
“He?” Zacky asked in confusion, because we had decided to keep the sex a secret
“Just a hunch,”

Notes
Hey guys, so my plan was to get this written and posted yesterday but my plans changed, I had to go to the doctors for an infected wound in my arm (it's getting better now) and then I ended up going to my friends house and getting drunk, so that was fun, but here you all go! Another chapter! I'll post another one soon hopefully, but most likely tomorrow, not long until the baby's here! :DThanks for reading - Hannah x
Great story
