This Love

Rehearsal

Nina's POV
--------------

We just got to the resort is Napa Valley. Tomorrow, I marry my best friend, the love of my life, the father of our baby, my everything. I put on my rehearsal dress and Ian comes out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around his waist.

"I'm ready." He jokes as he slides the towel off and stands naked in front of me.

I shake my head and laugh.

"No. I'm the only one who sees you naked." I wink at him.

"Well actually, Paul has seen me naked." Ian winks.

"That explains why he's so in love with you." I roll my eyes playfully.

Ian slides on his briefs and then a pair of khakis.

"Mao after rehearsal dinner we go our separate ways until tomorrow." Ian says and brushes his hair.

"It's going to suck not having you in my arms tonight." He adds.

I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his waist from behind.

"At least it's just one night. After tomorrow, I'll be in your arms forever." I kiss his shoulder.

"Forever." He smiles.

"Forever. Plus one." I point at my belly.

"Or 2, 3 maybe." He smirks.

"Right." I smile back.

Someone knocks on the door and I go to answer it.

"Hi mom!" I let my mom inside the room.

"Are you guys ready?" She sits down on a chair.

"Almost. Ian is brushing his teeth." I point to the bathroom.

"Well the girls are heading out now. We don't want to keep them long. It's kind of hot." Mom stands back up.

"I'm ready mama dobrev." Ian says walking out of the bathroom.

I grab my purse and we head out of the room and down to the rehearsal.

I enter the room where my MOH and bridesmaids are waiting.

"You guys!" I smile big as they all walk up to me.

"Nina!" Jules throws her arms around me.

"We will start in 3 minutes girls!" Dana says.

"Ready?" Jules says.

"I won't be nervous until tomorrow." I smile at her.

Ian's POV
-------------

After the wedding rehearsal and dinner I walk With Nina to tell her goodnight.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I say holding her hands tight.

"Ready Nina?" Jules and Hilary come around the corner.

"Yeah, just telling Ian goodnight." She says, not taking her eyes off of me.

"I love you, goodnight." She leans up and kisses me.

"Save the kissing for tomorrow! Come on Nina! We have to get a good nights sleep!" Jules pulls her away from me.

"Goodnight Nina." I smile and wave as they walk up to their room.

I feel hand on my shoulder and see Paul standing behind me.

"Hey man. Let's head up." Paul says.

"We aren't going to wake up in the morning and you be gone? Are we?" Daniel jokes and lays down on the bed.

"Ha! Never! I'll be up before you guys. That is if I get any sleep tonight." I tell him and Paul.

"You'll be fine. Goodnight." Daniel turns his light off.

"Ian?" Paul says from his bed.

"Yeah?" I say.

"I'm so happy for you." He smiles.

"Thanks Paul, really." I smile back and turn my light off.

Nina's POV

Jules and I are sharing a bed for the night and she's already sound asleep.

I look at the clock on the dresser. 2:00 am. I can't sleep. I'm already to excited for later.

I turn on my side and adjust my pillow.

"Nina, can't sleep?" I hear Candice say from the other bed.

"No." I whisper back.

"It's okay. I didn't sleep either when Joe and I were getting married." She sits up.

"Candice, I'm so nervous." I tell her.

"Nina, you are going to do great. Really. You two were made to get married together. It's going to be the best day ever tomorrow." She smiles and lays back.

"Thanks Candice." I say and lay down.

"Goodnight Nina. I love you." Candice says.

"I love you, Candice." I pull the blanket up and close my eyes.
