`` i do n't want us to have to wait much longer . ''
|
`` i agree .
|
i want to get married in the next couple of months . ''
|
he smiled .
|
`` good .
|
i 'm glad to hear that . ''
|
as megan glanced over to see her grandfather dancing with his lady friend , an idea popped into her head .
|
`` what if we got married in papa 's rose garden ? ''
|
`` it sounds like a beautiful place , but is there enough room ? ''
|
`` only our closest friends and family , remember ? ''
|
she insisted .
|
`` it could work . ''
|
`` so you like the idea ? ''
|
`` i do . ''
|
with a wink , he said , `` it makes sense considering you proposed to me at patrick 's house . ''
|
megan grinned .
|
`` that 's right .
|
it does . ''
|
`` think we can put it all together in two months ? ''
|
`` i do n't see why not . ''
|
he brought his warm lips to hers , and megan shivered in spite of the heat on the dance floor .
|
`` i ca n't wait to make you my wife , '' he murmured against her lips .
|
`` i 'm ready to make an honest man out of you , too . ''
|
pesh threw his head back and chuckled .
|
`` only you would say something like that . ''
|
`` hey , the truth is the truth . ''
|
the song ended , and pesh escorted her back to their table .
|
after they finished with the blessings from pesh 's family , dinner was served .
|
megan could n't believe all the food that was paraded by her .
|
she lost count on how many plates of delicious indian food she sampled .
|
by the time the desserts came out , she was thoroughly stuffed and could n't eat any .
|
`` let 's go mingle , '' she suggested when pesh also turned down any dessert .
|
`` sounds good to me , '' he said , before getting out of his chair .
|
they made their way through the maze of tables , talking to family and friends .
|
megan was introduced to so many of pesh 's relatives that she was sure she would never be able to remember them all .
|
when they finally got to the fitzgerald tables filled with her parents and aunts and uncles , she was thrilled when pesh took a seat across from aidan and emma .
|
after they had been talking for a while , emma turned aidan .
|
`` do you think noah 's okay ? ''
|
aidan smiled .
|
`` i 'm sure he 's fine , babe .
|
the sitter looked very qualified . ''
|
although emma nodded her head , megan could tell that she was n't convinced .
|
both mason and noah were upstairs in the hotel with babysitters outside of their family for the first time in their young lives .
|
megan shared a bit of emma 's apprehension , but when she had dropped mason off in the suite , he seemed to get along with the woman they had hired .
|
`` i might just go peek in on him .
|
you know , make sure she got him to sleep , '' emma said , rising out of her chair .
|
aidan shook his head and stood up .
|
`` you need to be off your feet .
|
you said yourself you were n't feeling too well before we left . ''
|
emma shot him a murderous look .
|
`` thanks for saying that in front of pesh and megan . ''
|
aidan gave them a sheepish grin .
|
`` sorry guys .
|
i hope it does n't ruin your fabulous party knowing that emma , at nine months pregnant and some change , was n't feeling wonderful . ''
|
megan laughed while pesh shook his head .
|
`` emma , if you want to go on upstairs and lie down , we wo n't be hurt .
|
i remember how awful it feels being overdue , '' megan said .
|
`` no , i 'm fine .
|
i want to stay , '' emma replied .
|
when aidan motioned for her to have a seat , she shook her head .
|
`` i need to go to the restroom . ''
|
`` you want me to go check on noah ? ''
|
emma sighed .
|
`` i 'm sure he 's fine or the sitter would have texted me .
|
i 'm just being overprotective . ''
|
aidan gave her a quick kiss .
|
`` love you , sweetheart . ''
|
she smiled at him .
|
`` i love you , too . ''
|
after she headed through the crowd to the bathroom , aidan began telling pesh some wild story from work that had pesh doubled over with laughter .
|
when emma returned , she did n't sit back down .
|
instead , she swayed back and forth on her feet next to her chair .
|
`` aidan , '' she said in a strained voice .
|
megan could n't help noticing how emma had paled considerably since her trip to the bathroom just a few minutes before .
|
he held up his finger .
|
`` one second , babe .
|
i got ta finish telling pesh this story . ''
|
`` but my water broke . ''
|
without taking his eyes off pesh , aidan slid his glass of water over to her .
|
`` here take mine . ''
|
if the situation had n't been dire , megan would have laughed at how oblivious aidan was .
|
pesh leaned forward in his seat .
|
`` um , aidan , i think- '' he did n't get a chance to finish .
|
instead , water splashed against the side of aidan 's face .
|
he shot out of his chair before whirling around to emma .
|
`` what the hell , em ? ''
|
`` my .
|
water .
|
broke , '' she muttered through gritted teeth .
|
`` oh shit , '' he replied .
|
after tossing his napkin back on the table , he held up a hand .
|
`` okay , it 's fine .
|
no need to panic .
|
we 're not that far from the hospital- '' `` like twenty minutes , '' emma argued .
|
aidan 's hands came to her shoulders .
|
`` it 'll be fine , babe .
|
i promise . ''
|
emma huffed out a few frustrated breaths as she weighed his words .
|
then her grim expression softened .
|
`` okay . ''
