Corporate Babies - Leah

Chapter 16

The day has arrived, my big grand wedding day, I wake up with crying from the twins who obviously hungry, I am still on the bed with have both babies drink from my breast on a feeding tube when the door opened and in walks Olivia carrying an amazing breakfast try with croissants, fruits, muffins and of course hot chocolate for me “Oh great, I needed some extra milk for my coffee” it was said so out of the blue that I was speechless, then after her face confirmed that she was joking we both burst out laughing. “Bloody b***h, I thought you were serious for a second there” she winks at me as she places the tray down in front of me, I nibble from the fruit selection as the twins finish up and then Olivia and I each take a baby and we burp them, we place them down in their makeshift play areas while we relax and eat our breakfast. After we had cleared the tray she then ushered me into the luxury baths for a long soak, i could get used to this.

I exit the bath all warm, soft and relaxed and I walk into my room and the place has been transformed, there are people rushing around and hair things on one table tops then right next to that is a table full of make-up products, tables that I'm pretty sure were never there, I groan and realize I shouldn’t have because the room is notified of my presence, Olivia with curlers in her hair runs towards me and ushers me to the chair that’s in the middle of the room, once I’m seated I am enveloped by many people that I couldn’t tell where one started and another ended. I can’t wait for the reveal, sigh.

I meet with Andrew at a café that’s between the house and the church, “Hey my man” says Andrew as he stands up, I walk towards his table and then we do that bromance hug thing. “How was your last night as a free man?” he asks still pissed off at the fact that I told him no bachelor parties, I said that mostly because I really don’t want one but also because Olivia would insist that Leah have something as well, I really don’t want them loose in the town with a psycho on the loose, never mind the fact that thanks to her still breastfeeding, she has a Jessica rabbit body and i know what the men will think. “It was a good man, Leah slept in Olivia’s room so we are keeping to tradition” even I can hear the sarcasm in my voice . “That’s rough, I had an amazing night on the other hand, twice over” I roll my eyes, I am really glad that I am over that stage of my life. One night stands are fun until everything just gets old. “That’s great, dude” he huffs at me obviously disappointed at my reaction, he sits back as the waitress places our order in front us “Thanks, gorgeous” he winks at her, she smiles and sways her hips as she walks away and Drew watches her until she turns a corner. “But seriously, how can you prefer one gem to the many?” I give him a grin and whisper “it’s all about the quality to the quantity, when you find a woman that makes all the other woman forgettable then we’ll rehash this conversation” he gives me that ' Yeah right' look and I look down at my food and have a secret smile, knowing one day we will be here with him in the grooms seat.

Drew and I are in the back rooms of the church, dressed in our black tux with our Silver ties and waiting for the 10 minute mark where we will make our way to the front of the church. We invited Father António to join us with our celebrating cigars, Cuban, only the best. We were busy listening to the father telling us about the unfortunate dealings with the grooms of the past. Damn but my stomach was hurting, that’s how bad we were laughing when drews phone goes off, he looks at me “It’s time” we stand up and he turns back to me then hands me a flask and we both take a swallow before we make our way to the front of the guests.

The church looks beautiful with candles next to each pew and red roses and baby breath makes a try for the candles and there is red rose petals on the red carpet that the ladies will walk down on. I believe the theme is Red, white and silver and the reception hall is decorated beautifully, i can't wait to get this ceremony over and go over there to celebrate. The music starts and Olivia walks down the isle towards me she is wearing a silver dress that is over one should and a long fabric is flying behind her, the dress encases her t**s and is form fitting, she smiles at me and moves to the side. The wedding march starts and a sudden calm comes over me we all turn to look at the back of the church all at once and I think I was killed somewhere along the way and I didn’t know it because the best version of Leah has just walked through the door. She’s wearing a tight, lacy, white dress and despise the fact that she had twins only two months ago she looks like she just walked off the runway. The rest of the room disappears and it’s only us two as she walks down the aisle. She stands next to me and I whisper “You are breathtaking” she blushes “You look too sexy, I want to hump you where you stand” and judging by the way the priest coughs I say it’s a safe bet that he heard her, I give her a 'behave' look then look forward “Amados, estamos aqui reunidos para celebrar estas duas pessoas” just then we hear the church doors being open and we look back.

*****************

It is true when they say that your life flashes before your eyes when you are about to die, that’s what I think when I am the target for the mad woman who’s pointing a gun at me “Celeste, What the hell is wrong with you?” shouts Raul who’s trying to edge me behind him “She is what is wrong with me! All I ever wanted was to be your bride Raul, but you go to another country and the first w***e that opens her legs, you impregnate, you selfish bastard! But don’t worry I’ll get rid of her and those two brats she birthed and we can be together again” everybody gasps and I can see Raul is holding onto his sanity just an inch. I see in the corner of my eye that they are removing the babies, slowly so I decide to distract her. “So what is this? if I can’t have him no one will?” I taunt, I see Rauls shocked look in the corner of my eye. “f*****g b***h” I closed my eyes as there’s a big bang and a sting and then I’m out cold. My lost thought is that I hope I have given my babies enough time to get away.
