The wedding date is set and plans are being made. I can’t believe in six months time I will be Mrs. Travis Leblanc. I can’t wait. We are getting married in the fall. My favorite time of year. I love to see the leaves change. If it wasn’t for me agreeing to my grandda’s wishes for me to have a traditional Irish ceremony I would have married Lug the day after he proposed. I’m ready to be his in every way. And I know ma would have wanted too. Grandda and da hired a wedding planner to help with the arrangements so I don’t have to stress much. She takes my ideas and transforms them for me. Lug and I just have to show up for certain things like tastings and fittings when she tells us. I like it.
I did make it known I wanted some
I always need to include the marking. It is a big deal in their world and it shows Ailee taking one more step towards merging both worlds. You thoughts? Comments always welcome. Thanks for reading.
Lug Nut Watching Ailee get marked was a dream come true. Just one more step to making her all mine. The last thing is getting my ring on her finger. And that isn’t very far off. Six months isn’t long compared to the lifetime we are going to spend together. I’m not paying attention to Mick. The guy working on my tattoo. He has done some of my work before so I’m not worried. My eyes are glued to Tank and Ailee. Not that I don’t trust him. I trust the man with my life and my girl. I just like seeing Ailee’s tattoo come to life. Merigold has customized all the tattoos for the ol’e ladies but this one Ailee put in her thoughts as well. Most ol’e ladies have the tattoo on their back or chest. Not my girl. She had Merigold make a gauntlet that starts from her wrist and goes about six inches up and wraps around her arm.
Ailee Today I’m at the bakery for a cake tasting. I wish Lug were here with me but the band is cramming in one final rehearsal before tomorrow's show. I understand how important the band is and these shows are. I got Lug’s thoughts on the cake. He didn’t really care about the design but the filling he said as long as it wasn’t lemon or Bavarian cream he was happy. And he didn’t want chocolate cake. The rest was up to me. I don’t have a problem with that. Besides I brought back up with me. The door chimes as we walk in and I see the wedding planner is waiting for us. I look around to get a good look at the place. The walls are painted a pale green with lavender trim. There are six glass cases filled with what looks like every treat imag
Lug Nut We are in our best form tonight for the concert. Lilly is blowing them away with her voice and dancing even her pregnant belly isn’t stopping the fans from fawning over her. We are playing at the fair grounds to the biggest audience we have ever played for. This place is packed. When Lilly had told us about playing here I had my doubts about it. I didn’t think we could fill a venue this large but I did have faith in Lilly. She told us it didn’t matter if we filled it or not. We had loyal fans that would come and the only thing that mattered was the cause we were performing for. We are participating in a school fundraiser to help sports and music programs. Several schools around the area have booths set up from food, arts and crafts, gaming booths and auction items to help raise money to keep these programs running.
Ailee The feeling I kept having that something was going to happen increased as we got to the clubhouse. But when I set my eyes on the sweet face of Katrina the feeling vanished in the air. I could see my poor Lug was lost in his head after finding out his cousin had died. Then to find out he was the legal guardian to her baby was too much for him. So I did what any good wife would do. I stepped in and took charge. I did leave most of the decision on whether or not we would care for the wee lass up to him. If he wasn’t on board I couldn’t do it for him. I was happy he chose to take custody of Katrina. I couldn’t bear the thought of her going to foster care. Don’t get me wrong I had the same fears as Lug on whether or not we
Lug Nut I woke up the next morning and I immediately knew something was off. First, Ailee’s side of the bed was cold. I look over and see Katrina isn’t in her playpen. How did I not hear them moving around? I never heard Kartina wake up last night. Did she sleep through the night or did Ailee attend to her while I was sleeping? Man, I’m slacking at this dad thing and it is only the first night. I toss the comforter off me and get out of bed. After using the bathroom I throw on some sweat pants and go hunting down my girls. My girls, I think to myself. Wow. I’m a dad now. And I’m about to be a husband. And I’m not freaking out. Ailee had talked about having children but I figured it would be a little ways down the road. I would get a year, maybe two of having Ailee all to myself. But life is strange. You never know what it is going to throw at you. I may not be sure what I’m doing but taking Katrina is never going to be a mistake. I walked down the hall to the living room. Off to th
Ailee After breakfast we all went to the living room to chat. More Like Lug and I were talking grandda and Anna were focused on playing with Katrina. I was watching Katrina not that I would ever be worried about her with grandda. He helped raise me into the woman I am today so I know Katrina is in good hands. I’m also paying attention to the way Anna and grandda are behaving with each other. The easy Anna was snuggled up against Cormac’s side. Her head on his shoulder as they played with Katrina. The sweet smiles grandda keeps giving Anna. I know I saw something when I woke up in the cleanroom months ago but they avoided the question. Everything got busy after that and since I didn’t see them together I have forgotten what I had seen. But not anymore. I want answers this time. And I’m going to get them. “ Are you finally going to tell me what is going on with you two? Or do I need to investigate myself?” I asked. It is clear they are interested in each other. I think it is wond
Lug Nut Ailee and Anna sat on the floor playing with Katrina. Cormac and I were sitting on the couch talking about what room we were going to change into a nursery. “ Anna, do you think it is too late to find a dress for Katrina for the wedding? Something that matches the flower girls.” Ailee asked. It was sweet that Ailee was trying to include Katrina. We could have dressed her up and had someone hold Katrina during the ceremony but that wasn’t enough for Ailee. She was trying to include as many family members as possible. She had Jace and Jax as mini ushers to be helped by Finn and Callen. Ford is too young to help out. Kadance, Kassidy and Alana as flower girls. Bastian is the ring bearer. Merigold, Lilly, Speed and Gretchen are bridesmaids. She has most of the club included in one way or another. Ailee hasn’t said it outright but I know she is doing most of it for me. She wants the wedding to be equal parts for both of us. I personally don’t care as long as at the end of the day
Ailee Three weeks have passed since wee Katrina came into our lives. It has taken some adjusting and juggling schedules but we have made it work. With tons of help of course. We now have an extra bodyguard when we leave the house. Thanks to grandda, Mitch’s sole job is to protect Katrina when we go out. We are mafia. We have many enemies. Especially when we shut down a trafficking ring. So we are always careful. Lucky so far I haven’t been called on to the ice queen. I dread coming back to Katrina after doing that. I know Lug would take care of her while I come back to myself. I just don’t want her to see me like that. Not for a while at least. I won’t be able to keep it from her forever. But until she is much older I want to shield it from her. More changes is that Lug and I have had to be careful about making out wherever we want. We still kiss and hug in front of Katrina. She loves it. She giggles every time Lug kisses me and makes kisses faces so we have to give her kisses too
