I smiled and said “Yep.”
We joked around for another hour until Blaine came to tell us to take our places. Elliott practically drooled when he saw her dress, so we left him to it and headed out into the main hall. I stood at the front with the preacher. The guys all went and took a seat, except for Jack who stood up with me.
“You ready for this?” he asked me.
“She was made for me. I’d kill for her. I’d die for her.” I said simply.
Meet in the Middle by Diamond Rio started playing and I started laughing. Only her.
The doors opened and my breath stalled. She was beautiful. There were no words to describe how heart stropping beautiful. She was wearing a white strapless dress that had some sort of crystal beading all over it, the cups were molded to her breasts and perked them up perfectly. The bottom half reminded me of Cinderella, it was so poofy. Her hair was up in some sort of torture looking up do with little ringlets coming out here and there. She had one single necklace on, one that her mom had explained that her husband had given her before he died in combat.
She made it about five steps in when I decided I couldn’t wait any longer. I took off down the aisle, looking only at her. People started laughing, but I didn’t take my eyes off of her face.
I got to her once she was about a quarter of the way down the aisle and grabbed her around the waist. She wrapped her arms around me, and then went a bit further and wrapped her legs around me as well. James had let go of her or he would have been brought along for the ride. He shook his head, laughed walked to his seat and sat down.
“You look exquisite.” I whispered to her.
“You look mighty handsome yourself.” She said back to me. “That uniform does things for me.”
I laughed, and turned and walked her down to the preacher, noticing smiles as I went. Once there, I sat her back down on her feet, and the preacher proceeded with the service. Luckily it was short and quick, because all I could think about was getting Cheyenne out of that dress.

I snapped out of my head with a start when the ambulance came to a halt outside of the ER. I hopped out and headed around the ambulance to watch the medics lower her down from the back and wheel her through the automatic doors. I held Cheyenne’s hand the whole way, only letting go when we had to pass through the narrow door way of the hospital room.
The doctor agreed with the paramedic’s assessment, and only covered the cut with a liquid bandage. They told us to watch the cut and make sure it didn’t become infected, and then did a sonogram just to make sure everything looked alright with the babies.
It was amazing how much different they look now compared to how I first remember seeing them at only three months. They were perfect little babies who had chubby cheeks and cute little smiles on their faces. The doctor stopped on a shot of their nether regions and I was stunned to see that it was a girl.
“It’s a girl?” I asked.
“You didn’t get my message?” Cheyenne asked.
“No. What message was that?” I asked.
“Umm. Right before, ya know, I was sending you pictures of the ultrasound. They are both girls.” She said. “My phone, purse, and pictures are gone!
“Max has them. That is how he knew something was wrong and you were gone.” I said quietly.
Other than my jaw clenching at her ya know, I was extremely happy. Two girls. They weren’t dating until they were thirty. I was going to be that dad that met them at the door with the shotgun. Is it legal to but a GPS chip in your kids? God, just thinking about what could happen to them in this fucked up world made me break out in a cold sweat. I vowed to myself that I wasn’t going to sleep until I found that little prick, but off his arms and beat him to death with them. He was as good as dead.

“I want a hamburger.” I said to Sam. “Wendy’s”
Sam just smiled and pulled up at the little speaker box and ordered me a number one with a large chocolate frosty, and a bowl of chili.
“Tomorrow I want pancakes and French fries.” I declared.
“What?” he asked. “Why would you want those two things together?”
“How is that any different from hash browns and pancakes?” I queried.
“Well not much I suppose, you just don’t hear that of kind of combination.” He explained.
Our order was handed to us, and we pulled back into traffic heading back home. I had my entire order eaten before we pulled into Free five minutes later. I was just sucking down the dregs of my Dr. Pepper when I let out a little tiny belch.
“Three.” Sam said.
“No way. That was at least a five.” I teased.
“No. That was pitiful. You could have done way better. Even Kayla and Janie could do better than that.” He laughed out.
I handed him my trash, and opened the door and slid out of the truck.
“I would kill for a ride on your motorcycle right now. I miss it.” I said to him as we walked to the door.
He chuckled, opened the door and said “That would look really funny. I think it’s against a biker code somewhere to do that.”
“I’m sure it is. I don’t think I would even be able to hold on.” I said to him turning sideways to slip past him into the house. My belly rubbed against him as I went and he laughed.
“Sorry. I forget how far I stick out sometimes.” I said
“It’s okay, baby. I like it when you touch me.” He said huskily.
I smiled over my shoulder and went to the bathroom to pee. Once that was done I walked into the bedroom stripping all of my clothes off as I went.
