- Iyan, Isla, come back here," Rosaria calls out from the courtyard. It's your parents' wedding, behave yourselves! Cordelia! Take a hint from Max and stop running!

A laugh escapes me from the room where I am getting ready. These kids are always so lively. And there's not one of them to outrun the other. I sigh as the hairdresser finishes doing my hair. My make-up is already done and all I have to do is put on my dress.

- Alma," Meavy says as she walks into the room. You look stunning! And that dress fits you perfectly! I can't believe you're getting married.

- You realise I've been married for three years now. I waited until it was the exact same day to celebrate. I'm the one who can't believe you got married. And that you are pregnant on top of it!

- I already told you that it wasn't really planned. But it's a very nice surprise," she smiled, stroking her already showing belly.

It's true that she's already four months pregnant. The time has gone by so quickly. I can't believe it. We're getting married in front of the mayor, because I found out that our wedding had a slight witness problem for my part. Everyone is supposed to be there today.

- 'Relax,' said Meavy, turning to the mirror. "You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen. Your husband loves you to death and I saw the proof when I saw the huge fountains of chocolate, wine and champagne on the way here. Your princess wedding is happening."

- I know," I said with a lump in my throat. "I'm just so happy that I'm afraid it's all going to end. We're even changing our wedding rings for the occasion, I can't believe it."

- They'll be customized this time," Meavy replies. Come on, get up! Let's go to the women's room so they can see you.

We leave the room and go to the next room where my mother-in-law, my grandmother, my husband's aunts and mine are. I have reconnected with my maternal family and we are getting along very well. Everyone is chatting and stops when I arrive.

I receive compliments from everyone and thank them with a hug. Yuma comes into the room and gives me a hug. Everyone leaves the room to leave us.

- I can't believe I'm going to walk you all the way down the aisle," he whispers in a broken voice.

- Don't cry," I ordered with a lump in my throat. I'm not going to cry now, even though I'm wearing waterproof make-up. We'd better sit down for a while.

- I brought my girlfriend with me today," my brother announced.

- Seriously? Show me a picture, I want to see it.

- You'll see her later when we eat," he answers mysteriously. More seriously, I'm proud of what you turned out to be. A beautiful young woman, mother and a fabulous designer. All you have to do is learn how to clean the toilet and you're done.

- I'm gonna put your head in the toilet, you idiot.

- The limo's waiting for us downstairs. Let's go. Your husband was about to walk here from the reception," he laughs.

I smile as I stand up. We go downstairs and get into the limousine. The children get in with us and we drive off. Isla comes over and gives me a kiss.

- Pretty mommy," she says, hugging me with her little arms.

- The prettiest," Iyan adds, giving me a hug too.

- You too, my darlings. Cordelia, come here. Max too!

I hug them with the twins. Since they were born, Cordelia has been much more reluctant to come to us. She has her place in our family just like any of my children. They already share everything together so they can afford to share me.

Max for his part is always so calm and composed. I hope he stays that way as time goes by. Meavy assures me that he will become a real troublemaker, which I strongly fear.

- Happy wedding, Alma," she whispers in my ear.

- Thank you so much, Lia. You look lovely today. You all are.

- What about me? Yuma takes offense.

- I can't believe it. You're jealous of the children!

- Not at all! It's just that you compliment them much more than they deserve. I deserve compliments! I put on a shirt for the first time in five years!

- At least they're cute.

I laugh and the limo pulls up. Yuma gets out and helps the kids out first. He helps me down and leads me inside.

- I'm stressing.

- All the best, chiquita," he murmurs before taking his place as best man.

The mayor begins his speech. Silence falls over the room.

- Alma Sofia Pearson, do you take Gabrielo Leandro Moretti as your husband, to love him as you did on the first day, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?

- I do," I said with a big smile.

- Gabrielo Leandro Moretti, do you take Alma Sofia Pearson as your wife," the mayor began before being cut off by Gabrielo.

- I do," he says before kissing my hand.

- Well, I officially pronounce you husband and wife. Let's proceed to the exchange of rings.

We turn to Isla and Iyan who are coming towards us as fast as they can. Iyan walks towards his father and Isla towards me. They each hand us our rings which we put on. The twins hug and smile at each other.

We turn to our guests who start to applaud. We walk out of the town hall and into the reception hall. Cordelia leads the way and throws petals in front of us. We get into the limousine and it takes us to the reception hall to eat and dance.

- Let's cut the wedding short and get straight to the part I'm most interested in: the wedding night," Gabrielo whispers in my ear.

- Gabrielo," I say, slapping his shoulder. This is our wedding. We're not going to stand everyone up.

- I don't mind. We'll let the kids do the show and we'll slip away. They're more than capable. Look at Cordelia posing like a model with Max. And Isla pretending to be a singer with Iyan dancing.

- No way. We'll go celebrate and I'll have fun with you tonight," I whispered in her ear.

We arrive at the hall and everyone sits down to eat. I finally get to meet my brother's lover. Speaking of him, here he comes with a small brunette with curly hair. She has a huge smile on her face and looks at him with shining eyes. We chat while we eat. It's time to dance.

Gabrielo takes my hand and we do the moves we have been practising for the last two months. We kiss at the end and the guests ask to hear our wedding vows. I let Gabrielo begin.

- Today I take you, Alma, to be my wife as you are. I promise to love, respect and cherish you now and forever. You have already given me two beautiful children of whom I am proud. Thank you, for choosing me and marrying me. I love you," he says, kissing me.

I wipe a tear from my eye and take Gabrielo's hand.

- Gabrielo, you have given me love, beautiful children and a family. By loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and especially the future.

The guests applaud and we hug. The children come towards us to do the surprise we had planned for today. Iyan hops up to grab a microphone which Cordelia passes to him. They look at each other before turning to us.

- Gabrielo, we have a surprise," Cordelia exclaims with a big smile through the microphone.

- What do you have for me, sweatheart?

- A little brother! The four children exclaim, jumping up and down among themselves.

Gabrielo turns to me with a frown. His gaze moves from my face to my stomach before he picks me up and lifts me off the ground.

- Surprise," I say, shaking my hands.

- I'm going to be a dad! he laughs as he spins me around.

I laugh as I let him do it and he puts me back on the ground. There is a lot of applause around us and our relatives come to join us. They hug us and the party begins.

The End
