25: So Many Dances
Jillie
With ten minutes left until the wedding was scheduled, Lexis began to help me into my dress. Kinley, who’d gone back to sleep after getting her hair put in rollers, was woken up so they could be taken out and she could put on her dress.
“You look so pretty, Princess,” she stated as Courtney took the rollers out of her hair.“Thank you, sweetie. You look pretty, too.”“Thank you,” she stated with a smile. Once everyone was dressed, I felt the butterflies in my stomach kick into overdrive. I let out a deep, shaky breath and realized that I would start crying at any moment. I hadn’t even been this emotional yesterday walking down the aisle. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.“Are you ready, Bell Fiore?” Demetri asked, appearing at my side.“Yes.” I stated as “The Moment&rd

JarrenI was currently helping Jillie strip out of her dress. Due to all the traffic, we had about an hour’s drive to the private airstrip that would take us to our honeymoon spot. Once we’d gotten it off, she slipped into a yellow and orange maxi dress. She moved closer to me on the seat and curled into my side. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head.“I am so tired. I could sleep forever,” she stated through a yawn.“Well, you have time. Got ahead and take a nap.”“Great idea,” she responded, crawling into my lap and resting her head against my chest. I tightened my arms around her, and it wasn’t long before her breathing evened out. With nothing else to do, I stared out the window as we slowly inched through traffic. By this time tomorrow, we’d be officially on our honeymoon. I sat back in my seat and s

JarrenI woke up to small nips and kisses on my chest. I opened my eyes to see the most beautiful girl in the world straddling me. She smiled at me before lowering her lips to mine. The kiss was slow and gentle. She snaked her tongue into my mouth, and my arms wrapped around her waist. Pulling back, she placed her hands on my chest and stared down at me as my hands went to her waist.“Well, that’s one way to wake me up,” I smirked.“You’re right, but I’m sure I can think of many,” she responded, running her hands over my chest. I placed a hand on the back of her neck and pulled her down. Our lips met, and I instantly deepened the kiss, snaking my tongue into her mouth. She let out a moan, and I rolled us over. My lips trailed down her jawline to her neck, and I began to suck lightly. She arched her body

JarrenOnce we made it back to the cottage, I followed Jillie inside. Walking into the kitchen, I took two blood packages from the refrigerator. After pouring them into a cup, I placed it in the microwave. When it was done, I took it out, downing it before putting the cup into the sink. Walking into the bedroom, I found Jillie sitting at the end of the bed, removing her shoes. Going over, I untied the back of her dress for her.“I’m going to go get in the shower.”“Okay, babe.” I began to strip down to my boxers as she grabbed some things from her luggage and entered the bathroom. Lying on the bed, I folded my hands behind my head and closed my eyes. I wasn’t sure how long I lay there, but I heard the shower go off. A few minutes later, I heard the door open.“Jarren.”

JillieI knew I couldn’t have been asleep for more than a few hours, but my stomach nauseously turning had me bolting from the bed. Going quickly into the bathroom, I lifted the toilet seat and released the contents of my stomach.I knew Jarren had come in behind me, so it didn’t surprise me when I felt him pull my hair away from my face and lightly rub my back. Once I finished, I flushed the toilet and stood to my feet before grabbing my toothbrush. I proceeded to brush my teeth. When done, Jarren wrapped his arms around my waist.“I’m sorry.”“For what?” I questioned, laying my head back against his chest.“For doing this to you.”I laughed slightly. “It takes two to make a baby. I was a willing participant.” I paused. “It is weird, though. I thought this was when a woman would typically get over morning sickness.”“Typically, yes.

Jarren “Ugh! Why is it called morning sickness if it lasts all damn day?” Jillie asked as she stomped out of the bathroom. She’d been battling morning sickness since she woke up last night. It was now almost one in the afternoon. She climbed onto the bed and buried her head in a pillow before turning onto her back. Reaching over, I began to rub her stomach gently. “I don’t know. I guess because it primarily happens for most women at that time,” I finally responded. She groaned. “I wanted to go back into town today and see the other sites.” “We can still go. As soon as you start to feel better.”

JarrenI woke in time to see Jillie bolt off the bed and into the bathroom. Getting up, I followed her, pulling her natural curls out of her face and rubbing her back. When she finished, she walked over to the sink to rinse her mouth before brushing her teeth.I walked out of the room and down the hall into the kitchen. Getting another glass, I poured her some ginger ale and grabbed a few of the ginger candies. I was walking back towards the room when I heard Jillie talking. I stopped slightly out of view, watching her. She was rubbing her stomach.“You’re kicking Mommy’s butt. Calm down, little one, just for a little bit. You’re worrying, Daddy. He’s not showing it, but I know you are.” She continued to rub her stomach. “Just long enough for me to sleep. Does that sound reasonable to you, baby girl?”I smiled to myself before walking into the room. I ha

Jarren It was after eight o’clock when Jillie woke up. Currently, she was lying in the middle of the bed reading through the pregnancy book she had been looking at earlier. I was on the phone with Garret, seeing what progress was being made on my surprise for Jillie.“Babe, I’m worried.”“About what?” I asked, turning my attention to Jillie as Garret filled me in.“Well, according to this book, I should have already started taking prenatal vitamins.”“Yes, but given that this isn’t a typical pregnancy, I think we should wait until we talk to Hollie.”“But what if I was supposed to take them, and something is wrong with the baby?” she questioned, almost panicked.“Nothing is wrong with the baby,” I told her as Garret finished his rundown. “Everything is fine.” I then stated, speaking to both of them.&nbs

Jillie I had taken so many pictures that I was sure the camera begged for a break. My morning sickness hadn’t been that bad today. That was probably due to the amount of ginger I put into my system. Because of it, we were able to go back into town today. I’d seen everything I wanted to earlier in the day: all of the tourist attractions. Jarren was now leading us past the many shops that littered the streets. I was enjoying looking at some of the items in the windows. Everything seemed so different, so unique. A specific store caught my attention, and I stopped, pulling Jarren to a stop with me. It didn’t matter that I couldn’t understand the store’s name. I could tell what it was from looking through the window at all
