Shining Star-EPILOUGE
*3:30am*
Adrianne and AJ woke up to the sound of Angel crying. Adrianne was gonna get up, but AJ stoped her.
"No don't. Your tired. I'll get her." AJ said, kissing Adrianne on the cheek.
AJ walked into Angel's room. He took Angel out of her crib and held her in his arms.
"Hi sweetie." AJ whispered, "How's Daddy's special girl? Are you hungry?"
He took Angel down to the kitchen and got her a bottle.
As AJ sat on the couch, he talked to his daughter, "I love you so much. You and your Mommy are the most important people in my life. Well, I better get you back to your crib. You should get some sleep. Mommy is really tired. And if Mommy doesn't get her sleep, she'll be really upset. Trust me, I know from experience."
About an hour or so later, Adrianne woke up and realized AJ wasn't laying next to her. She walked downstairs and smiled at what she saw.
AJ and Angel were asleep on the couch. Adrianne wrapped a blanket around them.
The next morning after breakfast, AJ and Adrianne sat on the floor with Angel and tickled her stomach. Angel giggled softly.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Adrianne answered it and saw that it was Nick.
"Hi Nicky" Adrianne said.
"Hey" Nick replied as he hugged Adrianne, "I came by to see how Angel's doing."
"She's great." Adrianne told him, "She's in the living room with Alex if you wanna see her."
Nick came into the house and walked into the living room. After saying hi to AJ, Nick picked up Angel and held her.
"Hi Angel" Nick said in a cute voice, "How's my favorite neice?"
Suddenly Angel started crying.
"Uh oh" Nick said, "Wha'd I do?"
AJ smiled, "You didn't do anything. She probably just wants her favorite teddy bear."
AJ reached into Angel's playpen and pulled out the blue & white teddy bear that Kevin had given her.
AJ laughed, "See I told you. Hey Nick, do you think you could do me a favor?"
"Yeah sure." Nick said, "What is it?"
"Could you watch Angel for awhile?" AJ asked, "Adrianne and I need some time alone."
"Of course." Nick replied, "I understand."
Adrianne was in the kitchen finishing the dishes. AJ came up to her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Adrianne trned around, "What are you doing Alex?"
AJ kissed his fiancee on the neck and whispered in her ear, "Please baby. I want you so badly. It's been so long since we've made love."
"Angel's in the next room." Adrianne said, "We can't leave her alone."
"Of course not." AJ said, "Nick's gonna watch her."
Finally, Adrianne gave in. AJ picked Adrianne up and carried her to their bedroom.
They made love for 3 hours straight. Afterward, Adrianne rested her had on AJ's chest and wrapped her arms around his body.
"I can't beleive we're gettng married tomorrow." AJ said.
"I know." Adrianne said, "I'm so happy."
AJ kissed her, "I guess I should getready to go to Brian's house. Ya know since it's bad luck for you to see me before the wedding."
"Ok" Adrianne said, "Love ya!"
"Love ya too!" AJ replied.
AJ went downstairs and saw that Angel was sleeping in her playpen. He kissed his daughter on the cheek. Nick was on the couch watching SpongeBob SquarePants on tv.
"Nick what are you doing?" AJ asked.
"Umm" Nick replied, "Angel was watching it!"
AJ shook his head, "Angel's sleeping. Nevermind.... lets get out of here. Tomorrow's the big day."
"Ok" Nick said. The two of them walked out of the house.
*THE NEXT DAY- ADRIANNE & AJ'S WEDDING DAY*
(Authors Note: Just so there's not any confusion, Jerald (Sr.) is reffering to Adrianne's Dad and Jerald (Jr.) is reffering to Adrianne's brother)
"Could you zip the back of this?" Adrianne asked as she put on her beautiful white wedding dress.
"Sure girl." Liz said as she zipped the back of Adrianne's dress.
Adrianne and Liz had had a long discussion and had worked things out. Liz realized just how much Adrianne and AJ loved each other.
Liz was moving on with her life. She was even datinga guy she had met back home in Kentucky.
As Adrianne ws putting on her makeup, Liz, Kristin, Kayluh, and Adrianne's Mom were stylig her hair.
"You look so pretty." Kristin said.
Adrianne got up and looked in the mirror.
"Wow" Kayluh said, "AJ's not gonna know what hit him!"
Afterward, Adrianne was helping Madison get her little flower girl dress on.
"Lookat me Aunt Adrianne." Madison said "I'm all pretty. Just like you."
Everyone in the room laughed.
Just then there was a knock on the door and in walked Kevin, Tim, and Jerald(Jr.).
"We should give you some time alone with your brothers." Liz said to Adrianne, "Cya in a little while. I can't beleive you're getting married."
"I know" Adrianne replied.
Adrianne and Liz started giggling and jumping up and down like 6 year olds.
Everyone then left, leaving Adrianne, Kevin, Tim, and Jerald(Jr.) alone.
"Look at you." Kevin said with tears in his eyes, "All grown up."
Adrianne started to cry too.
"Why are you crying?" Kevin asked.
"Nothing." Adrianne said, "It's just... I wish Dad was here to walk me down the aile."
Kevin hugged his sister, "I know sweetie. But at least I'm here to do it."
Adrianne smiled.
"Well" Jerald(Jr.) said, "We have a few things to take care of right now. We'll be back in a few minutes."
After they left, Adrianne went over to the mirror and put on her earrings.
"You are so beautiful" said a familiar voice. A voice Adrianne hadn't heard in 10 years.
Adrianne turned around and gasped. Standing right in front of her was her Dad.
"Daddy???"
"Don't be afraid." Jerald(Sr.) said.
Adrianne could barely speak, "I...I don't understand. H...H...How?"
Jerald(Sr.) smiled, "God decided that after all you've been through, he wanted to give you something back. So he sent me down here. Just for your wedding day."
"I've missed you." Adrianne said.
"I've missed you too." Jerald (Sr.) replied, "All of you. But I'm always looking in on you and seeing what's going on."
Adrianne got worried, "So you know about...."
"Yes. I'm so sorry you had to go through that at such a young age. It wasn't fair. This has all been so hard on you. Adrianne, there's something you have to realize. I know you don't want to, but I'm not coming back. You have to accept that and move on with your life."
Adrianne started to cry.
Jerald(Sr.) walked up and wiped a tear from his daughters face, "Oh sweetie, don't cry. That doesn't mean I won't be around. I'll always be watching over you."
Suddenly, Angel woke up and started crying. She was in her little playpen in the corner of the room.
Jerald(Sr.) smiled, "Is that my granddaughter?"
"Yeah." Adrianne replied, "Ya wanna hold her?"
He nodded yes.
Adrianne picked up Angel and carefully handed Angel to her father saying, "Angel, this is your grandpa! Daddy, this is Angel."
Kevin, Tim, and Jerald(Jr.) walked in and nearly had a heart attack.
"DAD?????" all three of them said at the same time.
Their Dad put Angel back in her playpen.
"It's true" Adrianne said, "He's real. God sent him down here for today."
Jerald(Sr.) spoke to Kevin first.
"Kev, I know you wanna protect Adrianne, and you should. But you gotta learn not to be so contolling. Adrianne's an adult now. She can make her own decisions. I still want you to watch her, just not as much."
"Ok Dad" Kevin said.
Their Mom walked in. Everyone explained to her what was going on.
"What is everyone gonna say?" Ann asked.
"They'll all forget about it after today." Jerald(Sr.) explained, "The only people who will remember are the ones in this room right now. And AJ of course. Speaking of AJ... where is he? I need to have a talk with him."
Adrianne rolled her eyes, "Daddy!"
"What?" Jerald(Sr.) laughed, "I have to meet the man that's marrying my little girl."
Jerald(Sr.) walked out of the room and steped into the room AJ was getting dressed in.
AJ was confused. He didn't know who this guy was.
"Alex this is my Dad." Kevin said, "Dad, this is Alex."
AJ was suprized, "But I thought you were...."
"We'll explain it to you later." Kevin replied.
"So" Jerald(Sr.) said, "You're the one that's marrying my daughter."
"Yes sir." AJ told him, "I promise I'll take care of her."
"I know you will." Jerald(Sr.) said, "I've been watching the two of you for awhile now. I'm glad my daughter is so happy."
Ten minutes later, everyone was getting ready for the ceremony to start.
"Do you have the rings?" AJ asked Brian.
"What are you talking about?" Brian said, "I thought you had them."
"WHAT?" AJ said, "Brian, if you lost them I swear to God I'll..."
Brian started laughing, "Relax AJ. The rings are in my pocket. Stop worrying so much."
**********************
"Are you ready?" Jerald(Sr.) asked Adrianne.
"Yes" Adrianne replied, "I'm so nervous."
"It's ok to feel nervous." Jerald(Sr.) replied, "That's normal. Now c'mon, I gotta walk you down that aile."
Adrianne held onto her Dad's arm and walked down the hall.
The music started playing. The doors opend and AJ smiled as he saw Adrianne.
Adrianne and her Dad finally got to the alter.
"Who gives this woman away?" Tim asked.
"I do." Jerald(Sr.) said. He kissed his daughter on the cheek.
AJ gently held onto Adrianne's hands.
"Bitch" AJ said, joking.
"Freak" Adrianne laughed.
The ceremony was beautiful. Tim made a big speech about how very few people find the one person that they're meant to be with.
Finally, Adrianne and AJ said 'I do' put the rings on each others fingers.
Tim smiled, "I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
AJ leaned in, grabbed Adrianne's face, and kissed her.
Everyone clapped.
"It's about time!" Nick said loudly.
Kevin elbowed Nick gently in the stomach.
*************************************
"Well gurl" Liz said, "I'll cya when you get back from Cancun."
Adrianne and Liz hugged.
"See I told you." Kristin said to her sister-in-law.
"Told me what?" Adrianne asked.
"That you'd find the right guy."
Adrianne smiled.
"Don't worry about Angel." Kevin said, "We'll take care of her."
Adrianne hugged Kevin and said, "I love you."
"Love ya too." Kevin replied.
Adrianne turned and walked over to her Dad.
"Now I don't want you to cry." Jerald(Sr.) said, "Go on and have a great time. I love you."
"I love you too Daddy." Adrianne replied, hugging her Dad.
Adrianne and AJ hugged and kissed Angel before hopping in the limo.
The two of them started making out in the back as they drove off.
They were so happy. This was a dream come true for both of them.
