I Swore I'd Be Just Fine When You're Gone. (Jaime Preciado)

I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing

Allie's POV~

"I'm guessing you already knew all this though." I said to Vic as he fiddled with his fork as I recalled all that had taken place that morning. "Right, that must have been where he was this morning when I woke up." I said, more so to myself than to Vic. I was currently sitting on the kitchen floor scrubbing a cabinet I had just finished going through. This was what I tended to do when stressed, clean things I would never clean otherwise.

"Yeah, he told me earlier." Vic said, taking a bite of the pasta I had given him. That was another thing I did, cooked, a lot. No one was ever gonna complain about either of these things of course. "Right after she was here I guess. He was still pretty freaked out and you were asleep."

I nodded, "yeah. I don't care." I said shaking my head. "I'm not annoyed that he went and told you first. I'm not annoyed at him at all. I don't even know if annoyed is the right word to describe what I am right now." I said sighing. "I don't know what to do, Vic." I said as I looked down and picked at the sponge in my hands.

"She told him she doesn't want me around the baby. How am I going to be married to Jaime and not be allowed around his son? Around my daughter's little brother? How is that even possible? And you know if he can't find any way around it he's got to choose him. It'll come down to his kid or me and we know it'll be his kid and I'm not even upset over that because that would be the right thing to do. I'm just upset that we're in this situation at all." I looked back up as I wiped a tear out from under my eye. "Every time things are finally looking good and we're finally happy something gets thrown at us and we barely make it through. What if that's a sign? What if we aren't meant to be together at all? What if we don't make it through this time? What if we just can't? I can't lose all this again. I finally got it all back." I was crying harder now and hadn't noticed Jaime walk into the room. I had no idea he had even come home, or how much he had heard.

I felt his arms pull me to him as he took a place on the floor next to me, nodding to Vic as he left the room, pasta in hand. "Listen to me." He said as I buried my face in his chest and he stroked my hair. "We are going to make it through this. We make it through everything, that's what we do. I'm not gonna let this go either. I've wanted it for far too long to give it all up now, okay?" He asked as I nodded, turning my head so that I had the side of it still pressed against his chest.

"There is no you or him. If the babies mine, then she's either going to get over it and deal with you being a part of his life, or I'll take matters into my own hands and make it that way. We're a packaged deal now, she can't pick and choose who gets to do what. If he's mine I get to make decisions too. We're gonna be fine. We don't even know if I'm the father yet, let's not freak ourselves out more than we need to, okay? Everything's going to be okay." He said as I nodded lightly.

"Okay." I said with a sigh, trying to pull myself together, "okay, you're right. We'll be okay." I said standing up and holding out my hand to help pull him to his feet. "Do you want some pasta, or there's pizza, and there's some cupcakes I stuck in the microwave. Oh, I also have some taco bake cooking in the-" I stopped when I heard him chuckling at me. "Why are you laughing at me?" I asked as I crossed my arms. I was not in the mood for this today.

"Nothing, you're just cute that's all." He said getting a cupcake out of the microwaving. "No more cooking. We're good for the next few days from the looks of it." He said with a nod before walking out of the kitchen. I shook my head with a laugh and went back to my cleaning, he wasn't gonna tell me to stop that.

Later that day Kristy picked me up to do some wedding planning. My assumptions were that Jaime had filled Tony in on our latest situation and asked if Kristy would come take my mind off of things. I wasn't going to protest, I needed both some girl time, and to have my mind taken off of things.

"Have you picked a date yet?" She asked as we drove towards a boutique.

I shook my head, "we haven't really had time. Too much other drama going on." I said with an eye roll. "I want to do it this summer though. Maybe July?" I said with a shrug. It was late April now, so that would give us about three months to get everything sorted out.

"Not giving yourself much time I see." Kristy said with a chuckle.

I shrugged again and smiled, "I'm just ready to marry him." I said as I looked over at her. She smiled back and nodded, I think she understood, she was pretty ready to marry Tony too, although he hadn't gotten that memo.

A little while later we were walking around the dress shop, looking at all the racks of color organized dresses.

"How many bridesmaids are you planning on having?" She asked as she looked through the yellow dresses. I had decided that my colors would be yellow, white, and black, white and black being traditional and the yellow to add the summery pop.

"Just you and Naomi I'm thinking." I said with a nod. "I don't know who else to ask. I wish Mike had a girlfriend or something. Because you know Jaime will have the three guys as his best men, so I need someone to walk with Mike." I said with a sigh. "Any ideas?" I asked, looking at some of the black dresses, I hadn't yet decided what color I wanted the girls in.

"Hmm..." She said, looking at me, "What's Kota's part in the wedding?" She asked with a smirk.

"Oh my god, that's adorable, I love your thinking." I said grinning, "Kota can walk with Mike." I said with a nod, after all, they had been inseparable since they met.

By the time we got home we had all three bridesmaids dresses, including one to fit a five year old, the flower arrangements picked out, had narrowed it down to two caterers (I was letting Jaime make the final decision on food), and had looked at a few potential wedding spots, which Jaime and I were going to go look at again this weekend to decide and book it.

The day had improved since that morning and had become very productive, I also wasn't as worried as I had been, Jaime was right, we'd get through it. We always got through everything, that's why we were so good for each other.

I couldn't wait until my wedding day, to finally be married to the man of my dreams.
