The wedding day is so stressful but Whitney takes the reins and leads the way and I am so thankful for her.

I stopped this morning and got her a hundred-dollar gift card to her favorite restaurant because I couldn't do any of this without her.

I got her a card and filled it out and put the card in and slipped it on her desk before going to my office.

I knew the moment she found it because she screamed out and then rushed to my office holding it up.

She was wiping her eyes. "What is this Chesney?"

"It's a thank you for everything you do. I couldn't handle all this without you Whitney and I am so grateful."

She wipes her eyes and walks over to my desk and I stand up and we hug.

"Thank you! That is so sweet."

"You are welcome! Oh before I forget Meredith may stop in today."

"She's in town?"

"Yeah, I met her and her boyfriend Jorge yesterday."

"Oh, I hope I get to see her. We were always close growing up." She smiled.

"She was very sweet."

"Well, I better get to it. I have a few things to do before the bride gets here."

"Thank you!" I smiled.

I had a small headache and I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes the next thing you know I was asleep.

When Whitney walked back into the room it startled me. "Shit I must have fallen asleep."

"It's ok I know you are extra tired. I just wanted to tell you the Bride is here and she loves how everything is set up."

"Oh good! I should probably go say hello."

"You can but I have taken care of everything already." She smiled.

"Let's have a girl's day and go get our nails and feet done one day maybe after work or on a Sunday."

"Ooh now that I like the sound of." She laughed as the doorbell dinged.

It wasn't long until Meredith popped her head in the door. "This place is gorgeous! I told Jorge if we ever get married it will be here."

I laughed. "Come on in and have a seat. I would show you around but I am not sure where the brides people are."

"It's ok I had a peek before coming in here. It's gorgeous. What made you get into the wedding business?"

"It's been passed down for several generations in my family and my mom ran it until a few months ago she up and died."

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry."

"Thanks but it's ok. I am learning the ropes and Whitney has been such a big help."

"This is up her alley. When we were young we would dress up in mom's old prom dresses and we just had a good time."

"I had a brother and so we didn't get to do fun things together. I told Whitney we need to go get our nails and toes done just to have some girl time."

"Oh please go tomorrow I want to go too." She smiled.

"Really? I'll see if Whitney can book it. Think Bonnie would like to go?"

"Oh, mom would love to be included." She smiled.

I picked up the desk phone.

☎️ Whitney can you walk in here?
☎️ Sure be right there.

When she walked into the room she smiled. "What's up?"

"Can you call and schedule 4 mani and Pedi's tomorrow for us?"

"Sure who else is going?"

Meredith laughed. "Me and mom of course."

"Oh goody! I am so excited!"

"If they need a credit card put it on the company one Whitney."

"You got it, boss." She smiled.

It wasn't long before she walked back in and had it set for tomorrow around lunchtime.

"I can't wait to see you, ladies, tomorrow but I better go because you have a wedding to finish."

"See you tomorrow." Meredith smiled walking outside where Jorge was standing.

We got through the wedding and I couldn't wait to get home and kiss Stone. I had missed him today and I couldn't help but smile. I know that means I love him. Just the little things he does or says it makes my stomach have butterflies and I need to tell him how I feel.

When I pulled in there was a truck there that I didn't recognize so I walked in and didn't see anyone and then heard talking out back. I walked to the door and when Stone saw me he smiled.

"He Ches! Come meet my best friend."

I smiled at the guy and he smiled real big. "You must be Chesney."

"I am but I'm sorry I don't know your name." I laughed.

"I am Turner his best friend for years and I am going to be painting your venue."

"Oh, that is so exciting!" I smiled.

"Ches want me to order some pizza or something?

"Sure whatever you want. I am going to go make myself comfortable. These heels are killing me."

I headed to the bedroom and went into the closet and put on some lounging clothes. Turner will just have to excuse me.

I pulled my hair up and went over to my side of the bed for some lotion and saw moms journal laying there.

I haven't opened it up in a while because I don't want to be upset and especially while pregnant.

I shoved it in my drawer and walked back to the kitchen and Stone was getting out beer. Man, I miss a good beer.

"Don't want a beer, Chesney?" Turner asked.

"Oh, she can't," Stone smirked.

He had a weird look on his face as I rubbed my stomach.

"Ooooh, now I get it. Wow, congrats guys!"

"Thanks, we are having a little girl." I smiled.

"Any names?" He asked.

"Nope not yet but soon." Stone smiled.

After the pizza came we sit around the table and ate while Cotton laid on my lap.

"She's stolen my damn cat." Stone laughed and I couldn't help but giggle.
