Feelings of worry filled my body, as I walked out into the hallway. "JC....can you come up here for a minute?" I yelled downstairs.
"Sure." He said and after a few seconds appeared at the bottom of the steps. He came up stairs and followed me into the bedroom, "What's up?" he asked.
"JC...I'm pregnant."
"Your pregnant? But...but how?" He asked.
"Well...when a man and a woman love each other very much..."
"I know how." he said cutting me off, "But I mean we only, ya know, that one time in the car and I didn't think anything would happen after one time."
"Well we only, ya know, one time before and out popped Jordan." I yelled cocking and attitude.
"Shh!" He said gently putting his finger up to my lips, "It's ok. I understand and I'm sorry I said that." He started to smile,
"We're going to have another baby! And I'm going to be there for this one! Oh this is great!" He shouted.
I laughed at his excitement. I've never seen him so happy.
"We have to tell everyone." He said.
"Well, I only took a home pregnancy test, we don't know for sure yet. We have to go to the doctors." I pointed out.
JC leaned over so that his face was right against mine, "Jillian...I just know that this is for real, I can feel it. We're having a baby! We've gotta go tell everyone!"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me downstairs where everyone else was just hanging out, "Everyone we have something to tell you."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over at us. I smiled, "I'm pregnant!"
There was total silence for a few seconds and then everyone started talking at once.
"That is great!"
"I'm so happy for you guys!"
"God, somebody needs to hose you guys down!" (that was from Justin)
When they all calmed down JC and I joined them on my families assorted couches and we all had fun talking and laughing the rest of the night.
"Zoe this is Chris, your usher for the wedding." I said introducing Chris and Zoe for the first time.
Zoe turned around to see Chris staring back at her. Neither of them said anything. They just stared at each other. I could see that love-at-first-site-look in their eyes, and I knew at that moment that they were destined to be together. They'd soon get married and have lot's of cute little kids running around. The looks on their faces were just screaming the words "I Love You."
Ok maybe I'm exaggerating...but they did stare at each other in silence for a few seconds. At that point I said, "Well, my work is done. I'll leave you two alone. I've gotta get into my dress." I left them staring goo-goo eyed at each other.
"Oh I'm so nervous." I said wringing my hands together.
"It's ok...you'll survive! I did, didn't I? As soon as you get down the aisle the hard part is over." Chrissy told me.
"Oh sure...standing in front of a whole church full of people and expressing your undying love without forgetting your vows, is just so easy!" I exclaimed.
"It is, I promise. Just practice your vows one last time and let's hit the road." Chrissy said.
I grabbed the piece of paper which I'd written my vows on and started to recite them silently.
JC and I had decided to be a bit untraditional and write our own vows. Writing them was the easy part, remembering them was what I was afraid of. Maybe those drama classes I'd taken in high school actually do help you in life.
"Sweetie, it's time to go." My mom said poking her head in the door. She had gone to see if it was time yet and was back in no time flat.
Now is the moment of truth, I thought as I headed towards the back of the church and linked my arm around my father's.
"Are you ready Jilly?" He asked smiling.
"I think so." I whispered.
He pulled the veil over my head and turned towards the door. The doors then opened and just like in Chrissy and Justin's wedding the bridesmaids and ushers went down the aisle one at a time. Then Justin (the best man) and Chrissy (the maid of honor) went down and finally the music changed and it was my turn.
I prayed that I wouldn't trip on my way down and tightened my grip on my Dad's arm. Then we started down the aisle. As soon as I entered the church I saw JC and started crying. He looked so handsome standing there in his tux. I just couldn't help but think, 'He's going to be my husband.'
I wasn't the only one shedding tears though. My mother was bawling....she had done the same thing at Chrissy's wedding too.
And then there was JC. When I had come into view he had also put on the waterworks. It was one of the few times I'd ever seen him cry. And seeing him cry made me cry harder.
Finally I made it up to the alter and my Dad did the whole lift-up-my-veil-and-kiss-me thing. Then I turned to JC and took his hand.
He smiled at me, "Are you alright?" he whispered.
I nodded and smiled back then turned toward the preacher, who started the whole ceremony. I barely payed attention to what he was saying though, I was to busy trying to remember my vows. I'm pretty sure that i did speak up and answer when I was supposed to though.
And finally it was time for our vows. First was JC....
"The first time I saw you I was so in awe of you that I couldn't even think. I'm still in awe of you today. I've loved you my entire life and promise to love you until I'm gone. You've brought so much happiness into my life, including Jordan, and I'm not sure if I will ever be able to properly thank you for it, but I'll definatly try. Jillian, you've been my friend, my love and my everything for so long and I want it to stay that way forever. I love you."
By the time he was finished he was crying, I was crying, and so was just about everyone in the church.
It took me a little while to calm down enough to start my vows.....
"I didn't believe in love at first site until I met you and my life changed forever. Whenever you are around my heart skips a beat and my knees go weak, and it's the most wonderful feeling in the entire world. When I was little I used to dream that one day a prince would come and sweep me off my feet, and then you came along and did just that and I realized that my life wouldn't be complete until I was your wife. And I know that we will live happily ever after. I love you, JC."
Once again more tears. After that part was over the rest of the ceremony went by really fast. And then it was time for JC to kiss the bride. I'm not sure if it was just that fact that so many people were watching us or if it really was because I was now Mrs. JC Chasez but somehow that kiss was different from any other kiss that we had shared.
When we broke the kiss it was time to walk down the aisle as husband and wife.
