“Oh sorry, I had other things to do inside,” I smiled at him.

“You ordered for the whole restaurant?” Austin asks and we laugh out, as he turns on his ignition.

“No, something even better. Don’t worry; you'll know soon,” I wink at him as he drives out of the parking space.

CHAPTER 25

Ted

The day I had always dreamed of is finally here. Two years in New York, and all I ever felt afterward was guilt and shame, but now I know that I'm righting my wrongs.

I'm getting married to the love of my life today, I think with a smile, as I look at my reflection in the mirror I'm before.

I'm still wet from the shower I just took, and I need to dress up quickly, as the wedding is in an hour.

I mop myself dry, and quickly start to get dressed and all I can think of is Winnie and our twins. I imagine her walking down the aisle wearing that perfect smile, the same smile she wore three years ago.

“Knock, knock, can I come in?” Austin asks from outside the room.

“Do you need an invitation?” I ask as I open the door.

“C’mon, you jerk. I'm the father of the day. Remember, I'm just treating you as my son,” Austin says, laughing at my growling face as he steps in.

He carefully placed my suit on the bed. “You know I'm still trying to get used to all this, you and Winnie conundrum. I would have killed you if I had known about this three years ago,” he said for the umpteenth time, and I knew he was deadass serious.

“I know you, that's why I couldn't tell you, only if I knew there was evidence afterward.” I laugh, shaking my head at how beautiful and unpredictable life can be. “I love Winnie, more than you can imagine, I'm sorry for everything my dad did to her,” I sincerely apologize.

I just want to make her happy forever, heal those wounds in her heart, and love her and my babies till death do us part.

Austin stands up and walks towards me, he pats my back, “I wouldn't want anyone else than you as a brother-in-law,” he says, and I heave out a deep sigh.

Hearing Austin say those words brings me a sense of relief, and they mean a lot to me. I’m going to give Winnie and the twins all the love I have in me.

“Get ready. I'm going to check on Winnie now. By the way, your father called,” Austin says, and I feel a frown grow in my face as he continues.

“He apologized to me and-”

“Oh, he did? That's good of him,” I cut Austin short immediately. Talking about my father is not even the last thing on my mind right now, it's nowhere in my mind.

“Maybe you should give him a listening ear.” Austin shrugs and leaves the room.

I don't want to speak with him, maybe not now, he had caused Winnie so much pain and I wasn't ready to forgive him yet.

I pick up my shirt from where Austin placed it, putting it on.

My mom had picked it for me,

I’m all dressed and ready, there is a knock on my door.

“Mom?” I call with a smile as I open the door to see her standing at the other side of the door.

I see her eyes are teary. “My baby is not so much a baby anymore. You’re getting married.” She says and immediately engulfs me in a hug.

“I love you, Mom,” I say, kissing the crown of her head as she squeezes tighter. But I need to attend my wedding,” I say, laughing lightly as she releases me and sniffs, wiping off the non-existent tears from her eyes.

“Is Winnie ready?” I ask nervously, “Yes, she is.” Mom replies with a smile.

“Is she happy? you know, what if she changes her mind?” I can't help but ask, as I shift nervously from one foot to another.
