A week later I'm standing in a shop being fitted for my tux along with Ky and Brennon.

We are taking a chance on Christian's tux. He got measured and sent me the sizes so hope it works out.

After our measurements, we went to the beer garden to meet up with Brody.

Once we walked in we grabbed a table and got a couple of beers.

"So you left me out, Hart?" Brody asked.

"I didn't do it on purpose," I said.

"I get it you are closer to those two." He said.

He said he gets it but he seems a little jealous and to be honest sometimes he rubs me the wrong way.

"So do I at least get invited to the wedding?" Brody asked.

"Of course you have been invited Brody. Save the date it will be the 8th." I said.

We laughed and talked for the next hour when we decided we needed to go.

"Yeah, I gotta get back to help Luke with the animals," Brennon said.

"Yeah, and I need to go check on my fiancée," I smirked.

"How is she doing since the accident?" Ky asked.

"She's much better just sore mostly," I said dropping some cash on the table and walking out.

On the way back to the Ranch Brennon laughed. "I think your boy Brody is mad he isn't at the wedding."

"Yeah well, he's not my best friend and sometimes he rubs people the wrong way and I want this day to be perfect for Ayla and he isn't a part of it," I said as we parked.

We said bye and I headed inside finding Ayla and Ryder on the couch coloring. "Well hey, you two."

"Uncle Hart! We are coloring." Ryder smiled.

"I see that. Let me see what your coloring." I said sitting down beside him.

"Poppy called and said he wanted to come to see me and well I needed the company." Ayla smiled.

"I'm glad to see you here little man. Are you ready for your little brother?"

"Yes, Uncle Hart I'm ready to be a big brother again," Ryder said.

"Are yall hungry?" I asked.

"Starving!" Ayla laughed.

"Yeah, I'm hungry," Ryder said.

I helped them clean up the crayons and we headed up to the main house for dinner.

"There is my boy!" Dad said to Ryder and he ran over and give dad big hugs.

"I colored with Aunt Ayla." He smiled.

We sit down to eat and it smelled so good. Clara had made Shepard's pie and some sides.

"I've never eaten this," Ayla whispered to me.

"It's good you will like it I think," I said.

"How are you feeling Poppy?" Mom asked.

"Like I'm ready to have this baby." She laughed.

"He will be here soon." Mom said.

"He either needs to stay in or come out before the wedding because I am the matron of honor."

"What? You're the matron of honor?" Mom asked.

"Yeah I asked her the other day and Tiff is my maid of honor," Ayla said.

"Oh, that's great! Got any colors yet?" Mom asked.

"We are thinking yellow mom," I said smiling at Ayla.

"Who are your groomsmen?" Dad asked.

"I am one." Brennon smiled.

"Ky is the other one," I said.

"Makes sense," Dad said.

We finished eating and we went out and sit on the front porch in the swing. Ayla had been wanting to swing.

"Did you like the Shepard's pie?"

"It was really good. I'm not sure why I even had a doubt." She laughed.

I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too Hart."

"Ryder was so excited to color with you. His little face lit up." I said.

"When Poppy called I was excited that he wanted to spend time with me." She smiled.

Mom and dad came out on the porch and sit down in some chairs. "What are you guys doing?"

"Talking about Ryder wanting to come color with Ayla," I said.

"He loves spending time with his Aunt Ayla." Mom smiled.

"I love how Wrenbird calls her AA since she can't say, Aunt or Ayla." I laughed.

"She was talking the other day about AA and I had no idea who she was talking about." Dad laughed.

It wasn't long until Grandpa Jack and Grandma Josie came out on the porch. "We are thinking of taking a trip but after the wedding of course," Grandpa said.

"Where to?" Dad asked.

"Florida to visit some of our friends," Grandma said.

"You better be here for the wedding." I smiled at her.

"I wouldn't miss you getting married, Hart." Grandma said.

"Will Christian be here?" Dad asked.

"He will be here on Friday night. He will be able to stay for the weekend before going back." Ayla said.

"I'm glad he's going to get to come," Dad said.

"He's going to walk me down the aisle so I hope he makes it." Ayla laughed.

"And we are going to bring Vanessa's urn out and place it in one of the seats," I said.

"That will be wonderful. I can't wait to go pick out a new dress." Mom said.

"Oh, I bet you cant Holls." Dad laughed.

"Well, we are going to go in and look for a snack and head to the house," I said.

"Goodnight guys!" Dad said.

We went into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of brownies and headed down to the house.

"Let's sit on the porch and eat these brownies." She said.

"Are you wanting a swing?" I asked.

"That would be nice. I love sitting there and swinging because it's peaceful." She said.

"I will get right on it. So when's the next doctor's appointment to find out what we are having?" I asked.

"The week after we get married. I think I go that Monday." She smiled.

"I'm excited. Are we going to have a big get-together as Poppy does?" I asked.

"Only if you want to Hart." She said leaning over kissing me.
