Choosing Him (My Boyfriend's Best-Friend)

Chapter 17 - Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Aria's P.O.V.

21 hours before its official. I'll be Mrs. Jacob Hunters.

Honestly, I've been freaking out. Mom's been helping me pack my stuff to take over to Jacob's house. I can't breathe, I've been drinking coffee non-stop since 8 am this morning, and its 3 pm now.

Alyssa has been getting her dress fitted since noon, just to make sure it fit. I can hear Rose running into my room, It's got to be her because Amelia is with Jacob. She runs up behind me and jumps on the bed, I turn around and look at her.

"Well what are you up to little miss?" I ask her.

"Notin," she says.

"Are you going to stay the night with me tonight?" I ask her, She nods.

"Okay i'll let Daddy know when he calls." I tell her, knowing that any minute he's going to call me to make sure i'm not going bridezilla on anyone.

"Daddy's not staying with us?" She asks.

"No," I say walking over to her getting to her level. "It's bad luck for me to see Daddy before the wedding so I'm staying the night at my Mom's house." I try to explain to her.

"I'll miss Daddy." She says.

"I know baby, me too." I tell her hugging her.

I get a quick idea and decided that I'd try it out. "What about we go get ice cream with Pawpaw, Memaw and Uncle Nate?" I ask her.

"Yeah!" She squeals running downstairs.

I finish folding a couple things and set them neatly into boxes looking around my now, empty room. Honestly, I thought that I wouldn't have to clean this out until collage. Let alone getting married at 18.

Life sure does go by fast, first you are a baby and now, I have 2 little beautiful girls waiting for me. Noon tomorrow, I just have to wait.

I walk down stairs with tears in my eyes. Mom stopped me, "Oh honey, you are just as bad as I was when I moved out." She says pulling me into a hug.
"Where's Rose?" I ask her.

"She's in the living room with your father, waiting on us to go out to the car." She says smiling. "She called me Memaw." She continued with excitement.

I smiled widely, "I told her to call you that, Has she called Dad, Pawpaw yet?" I ask with even wider of a smile.

"I don't know if she's called him or not." She answers.

"Okay, lets go before they leave with out us." I tell her walking into the living room.

Rose is sitting in Dad's lap smiling widely, Dad is just smiling back at her. I quickly take out my phone and snap a picture before they notice me. As soon as I took the picture they both looked at me, my phone ringer was on so the shutter of the camera went off.

"Can we get ice cream now Momma?" Rose asks me and I just laughed.

"Yeah, Come on baby girl." I say holding out my hand.

She jumps off of Dad's legs, runs and grabs my hand. She tugs at it, "Up." she says.

I lift her up and put her on my hip, "Ready to go Memaw?" I ask looking at my mom seeing that she's trying not to cry.

"Leave your mom alone." Dad says smiling.

"Okay, come on Pawpaw." That made him frown, but he quickly smiled.

We all walk out to the truck, "I'll sit in the back with Rose, Do you want to drive." Mom says handing me the keys.

"Yeah, I'll drive. Her seatbelt is tricky by the way." I say handing her Rose and she hands me the keys.
