NIKKI P.O.V
SIX MONTHS LATER
I was still getting used to London, It was always so cold and my skin wasn't used to being covered up in a time when's it's usually exposed to the sun and let's forget about my tan, that was a thing of the past, I was officially the whitest white woman in the world.
I wish i could say the same for Lennon, she loved it being in London but then again she loves playing with my car keys so it was kinda even.. .. She was so big now, any day she'll be walking and talking
"Hello Darling" Mike said coming into the house
"Hi" I said getting up from the floor where i was playing with Lennon
"How are you?" He asked
"Ok.I still have a little cold though" I said
"Oh that's too bad, anyway I talk to the contractor" He said sitting on the couch
"Oh yeah,How long before the house is built?" I said putting the baby in her walker
"A few more days it should be done before we get back from our honeymoon" He said
"Oh Good" I said getting back down on the floor eye-to-eye with Lennon
"How about we get away this weekend?" Mike suggested
"I'm not sure, What about Lennon, What do i do with her?" I asked
"My mother can take care of her" He said
"I don't want to leave her, maybe some other time" I said
He didn't know it but when he turned around and walked away, i saw him roll his eyes, I wished he'd at least attempt to warm up to Lennon...This was not going as well as i wanted it to go ..Maybe after we were married...
Wishful thinking.
NEW YORK
BLAKE P.O.V
Ok so I'm the last person to admit it but without Lennon or Nikki..I was miserable no one to fight with.. i missed rocking the baby to sleep..the house was too quiet.. and I guess misery does love company .. I had been moping around for six months and finally John took me out to cheer me up
"Blake, buddy, get over it" He said as soon as he sat down
"I can't" I said reading the menu
"Look, I know how depressing it is, I miss her too" John said
"Are you going to the Wedding?" I asked changing the subject
"Yeah..You?" He replied
"I wasn't planning on it" I said sipping water
"I think Nik would really want you there" John said
"I doubt it, you forget she punched me out and then didn't talk to me for two months" I said
"Yeah but she forgave you" He said
"After i sent 12 dozen roses and she went into an allergy shock, it was either forgive me or die." I said
"Haha,..Do you love her?" He asked
I nearly choked on a roll."what?"
"Do you love her?" He asked again
"As what?" I asked
"As a lawn mower, as a potiental wife" He said rolling his eyes
"Oh I don't know..." My voice trailed
"Oh Come On are you kidding me?" John said ]
"Why?" I wanted to know
"You're the person closest to her, she goes to you for EVERYTHING!" " John said
"I doubt everything" I said
"Oh Come.. when she got pregnant who was the first person she called? when she had the accident..who stayed with her all night? when she went into labor, who was there instead of me..who is the one person she trusts more than anyone..you!" He said
"Yeah but who is the father of her child?" I said
"We had a baby but we weren't soul mates.." John looking down
"I'm sorry" I apologized
"Don't be..as long as she's happy, I don't care as long as she's happy" He said digging into his crabmeat sandwich
"So now what do I do?" I said eating my soup
"Go after her" He said crab meat dripping down his face
"How? She's getting married Saturday, I don't wanna rain on her parade.." I said
"Blow up her floats and stop this wedding beside i heard from a source that this guy isn't exactly the warmest person in the world" He said wiping his face
"I don't want to breakup her wedding and then have her hate me" I said
"She won't hate you...Now go and bring Our girls home..." He said
"Alright" I said dropping a 20 on the table and running out of the restaurant
Nikki P..O.V
It was the night before my wedding, a typical nerve racking night for a bride but i was so scared, that when my girls took me out drinking, i got a little too drunk
"Whoa Nik I think you've had enough" Michelle said taking the glass of tequila out of my hand
"Ech it's her wedding..let her get totally drunk..Mike won't care" Annie said
"Remember.. last time she got drunk...she stood ontop of a table and flashed all of Avalon.."Stevanne said
"Yeah..she even made the six o'clock news i forget how long were you grounded for?" Catie said
"I'm still grounded (hiccup)" I said
"Let's hope for Lennon's sake..she never sees that tape" Gina said
"She won't..Nikki burned every copy" Jen said
"You did?" Gina asked
"Yup had a big o'l bonfire and whoosh bye bye tape" I said,"Guys..I don't feel so good"
"Uh Oh" Michelle said
i can honestly say after that..i don't remember a thing!
Annie P.O.V.
We took Nikki out to calm her nerves the night before the wedding but i forgot how light of a drunk she until she stood up, got sick and passed out..We dragged her back to the house and practically threw her on the bed
"How long do you think she'll be out?" Michelle asked
"My guess..24 hours tops" Catie guessed
"Well then start boiling the coffee now because her ass has to be up at 8 to be at the church by 11" Gina said
DAY OF THE WEDDING
John P.O.V
Ok so i wasn't exactly thrilled with myself over telling Blake he could have Nikki..but i could see how much pain he was in over her and besides..she could do a lot worse like that Mike guy.
Because Nikki's father had gotten the Flu the week before the wedding and wasn't able to travel, which devasted her because she wanted her father to walk her down the aisle, I was supposed to walk her down the aisle.. I didn't really want to but when she threw a fit and then used the baby as a secret weapon ..i caved.
I stood in the hallway of the Church, waiting for Nikki looking for the bathroom and nervously adjusting my tie, I passed by where Mike was getting dressed and overheard him talking to his friend
"Are you sure you wanna marry a chick with a kid?" The other guy said
"Sure once we're married, I'll convince her to put the kid in boarding school and Once we're traveling all over the world..she'll forget all about it" Mike said
"Who's paying for the trip around the world?" the guy asked
"She is but she doesn't know it yet" Mike said chuckling
"You are so bad.." the guy said
"SON OF A BITCH!" I said a little too loudly
"Who the bloody hell is that?" Mike said
I ran like godzilla was chasing me into the bathroom
Nikki P.O.V
When I woke up, I had the biggest hangover.. pounding headache watery eyes you name it i had it.. i felt like someone ran me through the blender and hit frappe
"TIME TO WAKKKEEE UP!" Annie shouted
"NOO!" i shouted back
"It's your wedding day..come on we've got lots to do and no time to waste" Gina said following Annie into my room
"I want to die" I said putting the pillow over my head
"Can't die today..it's your wedding day!" Michelle said jumping on the bed
"I'm gonna puke!" I growled
"Ech Nik you look like crap" Jen said
"thanks" i said rubbing my eyes
"Well..Sleeping beauty, let's get you ready for the Ball" Annie said
"That's Cinderella" Rachel said carrying in my wedding dress
"Get your fairy tales straight will ya?" Dina said laughing
"Ok if i get up, will you all promise to SHUT UP?" I said
"Nerves or P.M.S?" Annie said
"I think Both.." Natalie said brushing my hair
I felt like i was 10 and my sisters were all taking care of me
Sitting in the chair while Fredo did my makeup, i heard a song that nearly made me cry (thank god for waterproof mascara).it was Reba Mctire
The first time I laid my eyes on you I knew
We'd spend this life side by side
I still feel the same though you're so far away
I swear that you'll always be my
Forever love
I promise you
Someday we'll be together
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Minutes and hours and years may go by
But my heart knows nothing of time
So don't cry just keep me right here in your dreams
And hold on to these words of mine
Forever love
I promise you
Someday we'll be together
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Love is the road to our destiny
Nothing can change what is meant to be
Forever love
Oh, I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Forever love
Forever love
"Are you alright?" Fredo asked
"Yes..just nerves" I said knowing it was more than just nerves.
The Day BEFORE the wedding
BLAKE P.O.V
I was on my way to London going through Kennedy airport when i missed my flight so i had to take a later flight, i knew i was going to be late but weddings never start on time..right?
I Finally landed in England around 8 am o'clock new york time which in london was 3o'clock the day before the wedding..now my only problem was..how was i going to find this place?
I thought about renting a car but I'm a new york/boston driver and it would have been suicide for the other drivers, so i rented a mopehead..which i thought was like a bike with an engine..I got on that thing and I swear i think i saw god because the bike was loud and terrifying.
I spent a couple of hours, searching for the house, I knew Kensington was big but this place was friggan HUGE! I finally found the house and knocked on the door
"Hello?" a british woman in a uniform asked
"Hi I'm looking for Nicole Capone" I said nervously
"How do you know Madame?" The woman said looking me up and down
"I'm a friend" I said
"I'm sorry but Madame is not here" The woman said starting to close the door
"Do you know when she'll be back?" I asked sliding my body between the door
"I'm sorry that's priviledged nformation Now please leave before i call the police" She said slamming the door ..
"Bitch" I muttered and walked away
After that, i walked around and found a cheap hotel for the night.. i was so tired i didn't even bother getting undressed
NIKKI P.O.V.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Someone screamed from the next room
I'd just gotten my dress on and Dina was buttoning up the back when the screaming started
"What the hell is that?" I said kicking off my shoes and ran into the next room with Dina and the girls following me.
It was Annie, I could have killed her.
"What happened?" Gina asked
"She spilled red kool aid all over her dress!" Annie said pointing to Lennon, Annie was near tears," I turned away from her for a second and she spilled the juice all over herself..Nik, I am so sorry"
"You screamed like you were being murdered over RED KOOL AID?" I said
"I had one thing to do and i screwed it up" Annie said sitting on the floor
"Will you chill? I got it" I said getting on my knees and pulling the dress off of Lennon
"But wasn't that an expensive dress?" Annie asked
"No..itwas like 25 dollars..i knew she'd spill eventually, she's only a baby.. Now where's the Kool Aid?" I said
"Here why?" Michelle asked
"Because i'm going to fix the dress" I said taking the kool aid and dress into the bathroom
"How?" Catie asked
"By doing this" I poured the Kool aid into the sink, and dipped the dress into the Kool aid, slowly turning the pretty white dress into a pretty red dress
"I knew this girl was a genius!" Natalie said
"Now will you let me finish getting dressed?" I said rolling my eyes
Half and Hour later, I had finished getting dressed, i had my veil on, my shoes and a little tiara. Everything was set
"You look so pretty!" Rachel cried
"Ok one last group hug and then let's get married!" I said
We hugged and then got into the limo.
A short ride later, we pulled up in front of a large beautiful catholic church
The girls and I climbed out of the limo, where John was waiting to escort me down the aisle
"Wait! Where's Lennon?" I said frantically
"I've got her..don't worry" Gina said
Because i didn't want to cause a fight between my girls over who was going to be a bridesmaid or maid of honor so i said screw it and no one was going to be either.
The girls took their seats.
Just before the music played, they closed the doors
"Well this is it" I said
"Are you sure you want to do this?" John asked
"Yes" I said
"Nik?" He said
"Yes?" I responded
" I gotta know.. I was the great love of your life right?" He said
"Absoutely" I smiled
The music started and we walked down the aisle..We stopped just before the minister
"Who presents this woman to be married?" The minister asked
"I do" John said and then kissed me on the cheek and gave my hand to Mike
After reading a passage from the bible,the minister began asking us questions
"Do you Michael Patrick Kennedy take Nicole Victoria Capone to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish from this day forward for as long as you both shall live ?"
"I do" Mike said
"Do you Nicole Victoria take Michael Patrick to be your husband, to love and cherish from this day forward for as long you both shall live"
"No" The words left my mouth and i didn't even realize it
"STOP THIS WEDDING!" a voice shouted
ANNIE P.O.V
Between Nikki saying no and Blake stopping the wedding or at least attempting too..this was too much..
Nikki P.O.V
I wasn't expecting Blake to stop the wedding But once i said no, it felt so right
"Mike I'm sorry but i can't marry you" I said
"If this is one of your american jokes..it's not funny" Mike said
"I'm not joking ..I can't marry you" I said \
"May i ask..why?" Mike said
"Because I'm in love with another guy" I said
a huge gasp went through the church
"Who?" Mike asked
"The guy in the rumpled jeans" I said pointing to Blake
I then took off my engangment ring and gave it back to Mike and ran down the aisle
"It's always been you" He whispered
"I'm sorry i hit you.. you are Lennon's father!" I said crying
"I love you!" Blake said
"I love you too" I said
"This is touching and all but we are married" Mike said
"Are we?" I asked the minister
"I hope not because this guy is such a scuzzball" John said,"He was after your money and he was going to put Lennon into Boarding School"
"You WHAT?" I couldn't believe it
"Darling..are you going to believe him or me?" Mike asked
"Him" I said and then punched him in the face
"To Answer your question, No you are not married" The minister said
"We're gonna have to work on your temper" Blake said
"Now what should we do?" I asked
"Wanna get married?" He suggested
"Are you serious?" I couldn't believe
"Yeah why not?you've got the white dress on, besides our families are here,our friends are here, might as well do it" He said
"Dada" a little voice popped up
We both looked down and realized it was Lennon
"Oh my god..her first words!" I said picking up the baby
"She agrees ..will you?" Blake asked
"Yes!" I said
And so we were married.
TWO YEARS LATER
It had been a wonderful two years, Lennon was now speaking in full sentences and walking, John married Tiffany and they have two little boys, Keith and James but we still see them all the time, Tiffany loves Lennon like she was her own daughter.. I made sure of that one and John did too after this was our daughter's life also.. ..When Lennon was old enough to understand that she had two daddies, it wasn't a problem. she was actually proud of it , Rachel's show was still going strong, Annie had a chain of stores all through New York, Jen and Max are engaged.and are planning their wedding for sometime in June.
Me? after our impromptu wedding, Blake and I quickly settled back into our life in New york..Almost a year later, we welcomed our 2nd daugher Olivia Mackenzie, Lennon wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea of sharing her mommy but once she realized Olivia wasn't going anywhere, she quickly adjusted and only dropped Olivia on her head once.
After Olivia was born, we realized we totally didn't have any room and had to buy a bigger house in Queens, We also figured with the bigger house and two little girls..we should try for a boy..It didn't qute work out that way. I got pregnant right away and Blake began to pray like the world was coming to an end for a boy..
Just like with Olivia, I had an easier time and Blake wouldn't let Annie drive me anywhere, if we wanted to go out, he drove or we took a cab..it was cute about how overprotective he was but sometimes it was so damn annyoying
"I'm going out!" I said about three weeks before I was due
"Where are we going today?" Blake asked
"No we..me and the girls are just going shopping" I said putting on my jacket
"I don't want you driving!" He said
"One accident three years ago and your still so paranoid..I'm ok ..No biggie" I said
"I don't think it's safe.. please just let me drive you" He begged
"Why don't you go somewhere with the girls..like Chuckie E.Cheese?" I suggested
"NikKI!" He whined
"I'm going.. see you later and I will home tonight" I said leaving
I picked up Annie and the girls and we made our way downtown
"I can't believe he actually let you drive!" Stevanne said
"Yeah..how'd you swing that?" Catie wondered
"Simple, I just stated what i wanted and he agreed" I said
"Meaning you stood there like a stone, he begged and you walked away" Gina said
"Pretty Much" I laughed
We had a great day of shopping and eating
"I just need one more item" I said
"Now where?, We've hit every store in New York" Catie said
"I just need to get a blanket for the crib in Filene's" I said walking into the store
We'd only been in there for about five minutes when i realized my water broke.
We'd scattered all around the store, each looking at different, Gina was with me when my water broke
"Are you alright?" She asked,"Baby kicking?"
"No..baby's coming" I said
"What?" She looked so panicked
"My water broke!" I said as the first contraction hit
"Oh my god!" She said,"What do we do?"
"You've had two kids..you should know.." I said
"Listen Smartass, when i went into labor BOTH times, i was at home with Josh" Gina said
"Go get the girls and tell them we have to go to the hospital" I said the contractions stopped
In all the years of knowing Gina, I've never seen her run as fast as she did..
"Nik..are you alright?" Catie asked
"No this baby is coming now" I said as another contraction hit
"Oh crap!" Catie turning white,"Don't Panic!"
"How can she not panic..she's about to give birth in FILENE'S" Annie said running up to us
"No I'm not ..we're just going to casually walk out and then i'm going to give birth on the sidewalk like any respectable New Yorker!" I said
"Better yet..shout loud enough so they can hear in Jersey about how your water broke!" Stevanne said
"STEVANNE!" i yelled
"Bad time for a joke?" She said
"Yeah" I said,"Oh my god!" another contraction hit
