Page 10 of A Kind Wedding: Christian & Charleigh

“2024?” Jackson asked.

“Yes.” Charleigh grinned.

“Wonderful news.” Aunt Barb walked over and wrapped her arms around Charleigh and me. “I’m happy for both of you. I know the wedding will be perfect. I love you both, but I must get back home. My date will be picking me up soon.”

“Have a great time, Aunt Barb,” I said.

“Ladies, let’s get started on the wedding plans.” Jenni grinned, and Grace took Nora from Simon.

“I’ll take her with us so she can play with the kids,” Grace said.

“I’ll see you later.” Charleigh smiled as she kissed my lips and went off with the girls.

“I’m happy for you, bro.” Conner patted my shoulder.

“We’re all happy for you.” Sam smiled as he held up his beer bottle.

“Thanks. That date is very important.”

“Of course, it is. It’s your wedding day.” Sebastian smiled.

“It’s not just that. March 16this the date that Dad gave Charleigh her new heart.”

“Seriously?” Jackson asked.

“The moment Mr. Russo said that date, Charleigh started crying.”

“It was meant to be, bro,” Nathan said.

“It seems that Dad is watching over you two.” Conner smiled.

“Yeah, I guess he is.” I tipped my bottle to his.

“Is there anything you want to change with your dress before we start making it?” Jenni asked.

“Not a thing.” I grinned. “It’s perfect the way it is. My mom is worried about a dress for her.”

“Please. Does she not know me by now?” A smile crossed Jenni’s face. “I know your mom and her style. I already had a dress designed for her. When are they coming back from vacation?”

“Three days.”

“Perfect. I’ll show her when she returns.”

“I’m worried,” Charlotte said.

“About what?”

“I’ll still look fat in my dress after I have the baby.”

I turned and gripped her shoulders. “You are going to look beautiful.”

“I feel the same way since our babies are due a week apart.” Emilia pouted.

I turned to her and gripped her shoulders. “You are going to look just as beautiful too. Everyone at the wedding will know you two just had your babies.”
