Marco Vasilios P.O.V
The wedding turned out to be a disaster that we didn't mind, at all. In fact, it made it more special.
If I knew Ximena would freak out like that when she saw Jillian entering the venue, I would have called her instead of surprised her. I should have know that it wouldn't be a good idea to surprise her.
Ximena was already walking half down the aisle when Jillian entered...with a lot of noise may I add. The door opened loudly that it made everyone turn their heads. Including that from Ximena. She ruined the whole romantic 'walk down the aisle' moment.
I already stood behind Rodrigo, because I arrived fifteen minutes before Jillian did. I was his best man after all. I couldn't be late. I told Jillian that she should tell the security guard to let her in from the back door, but she probably forgot and just went in through the main door. The main door makes a lot of noise.
Jillian and my little princess looked so adorable and cute in their matching red dresses. I knew the boutique had beautiful dresses, because Ximena loved to shop there.
I didn't got enough time to admire them, because Ximena's eyes widened and before I could even blink she was hugging Jillian tightly. I probably should had warn Jillian that Ximena would go crazy when she saw her.
Rodrigo was shocked. Completely and utterly shocked.
He had missed Jillian too. He threw me a couple of well deserved punches when he heard the reason why Jillian left. My pretty boy face was ruined for like a few weeks.
"Is that---," Rodrigo didn't finished his sentence, instead he ran towards Jillian who was still being hugged by Ximena and Ellie, Rodrigo's sister.
I walked behind Rodrigo and we both tried to pull our sisters away from Jillian. They were literally hugging her so tight, I could even feel that Jillian had trouble breathing. "Ximmy stop, let Jillian breath." I said as I gently pulled her away. Rodrigo did the same with Ellie, which resulted in him getting a punch in his chest.
"Let me hug her, I haven't seen her in years!" Ellie snapped and buried her face in Jillian's neck again. "Gosh, I missed you so much! Where were you?"
At this point, everyone in the room was staring at us with questioning looks in their eyes. From the corner of my eyes I saw my parents walking towards us.
"What is happe--- Jillian? Is that you? Oh my god, you came back!" My mom immediately ran up to her and took her into a bone crushing hug that took Jillian totally off guard. She stumbled backwards, but she got hold of the table next to her.
Women!
I shook my head and beckoned my dad to get my mom off Jillian. They were all suffocating her. I could see Amari getting very uncomfortable by all the people that were hugging her mom.
My dad cleared his throat and tried to get my mom off Jillian. When my dad finally could get my mom next to him, Jillian took a deep breath and lifted Amari. Amari immediately placed her head on her mommy's shoulder.
Ximena squealed loudly, making the whole room gasp. "Oh god, is that...Oh my god!! I'm aunty!" Ximena openly gaped at Amari and then she turned around and looked furiously at me. "Marco! You knew!"
"I didn't!" I exclaimed and put my hand up in surrender. "I just knew a few hours ago that I was a father!"
This wedding was turning into a disaster. The guests were whispering, still wondering what the hell was going on. I felt like I was in a soap serie.
"Let's get you two married first and then we will sit down and talk." My dad said as he pointed at Rodrigo and Ximena. "You two. Rodrigo go back to the priest so Ximena and I can walk down the aisle for the second time."
He shook his head lightly and mumbled something along the lines of 'Crazy and family.'
I looked at Jillian and mouthed 'are you alright?'
She nodded her head and gave me a reassuring smile. She was so pretty. This time I couldn't help but let my eyes roam over her body.
An angel. A Queen.
Even after bearing my child, she still looked flawless and in shape. She was still the same girl I fell in love with in Milan, during a one night stand.
Damn, time goes by so fast. Things changed so fast.
..........
"I'm hungry." Amari poked me on my leg and looked at me with pouting lips. "Hungry." She looked so much like her mother when she needed something.
I lifted her up and kissed her nose. "What do you want, Princess?"
"Cake." She said happily. There's no doubt that she got her cake obsession from Ximena.
"What kind of cake? Red velvet, chocolate, vanilla?" I asked as I showed her all the types of cakes on the desert table.
"All!" Amari looked at me and smiled. "I want all!"
I chuckled softly. "You can't have it all, princess." I poked her stomach. "Otherwise you will get a stomach ache."
She pouted. "Dad, I want all!" She wiggled and pointed at the floor. "Down." I put her down and before I could stop her she ran towards the desert table. I was about to ran after her when my dad called me.
"Marco! Emergency family meeting!" he called out as he disappeared in the dressing room. I called my guard to watch over Amari as I followed my dad to the dressing room.
Jillian, Ximena, my mom, and Ellie were sitting on the sofa. They were all firing tons of questions at Jillian.
"Where were you?"
"Why didn't you tell us about Amari?"
Jillian was very uncomfortable and I could just sense it. I cleared my throat and they all stopped talking. "It's better if I can talk to Jillian first."
My dad nodded. "He's right. I just want to say---" Dad paused and gave Jillian a small smile, "I'm happy you're back and blessed us with a granddaughter. We're very grateful."
Jillian smiled back at him. "I'm happy to be back and that Amari can finally meet all of you." She looked around and panic was written all over her face.
"What is it?" I asked worried.
"Where's Amari?"
"Oh." I said. "She's outside with the guard. Don't worry."
Jillian calmed down. "Oh thank god. At this age she likes to explore, so she always need someone by her side to keep an eye on her."
"You know, Jillian." Ximena said, smiling. "Before the wedding I told Marco to get you back. I didn't know he would literally do it!"
