Ari

"A baby?" Charlie's eyes grow wide.

"Yes, princess there's a baby in mommy's belly." Seb smiles at her.

"I want a brother." She cheers.

"Congratulations." Stephan says, but looks somber.

"What's wrong?" Seb asks him.

"Nothing." He answers too quickly with a fake smile.

"There's something else too." I say looking at stephan. He sighs and nods. Does he think we don't want him here anymore? I look at sebby to see he's wearing the same furrowed brows I am.

"Stephan, we want to adopt you. You're apart of this family. We want to make it official so no one can ever try to take you. You will never spend another minute in a foster home. This is your home if you'll have us." Seb says

"What?" Stephan looks genuinely shocked. "I thought.."

"You thought what? Since we're having a baby we would send you back? Never." I smile at him and shake my head. "You're family Stephan. You belong here, with us."

"Wow." He says with tears in his eyes. He stands and walks over to me first pulling me into a hug. "Thank you so much ari."

"You're welcome." I hug him back. He plants a kiss ontop of my head before moving to seb.

"Thank you big brother." He hugs sebby.

"No thanks needed little brother." Sebby tells him slapping his back. "So what do you say?"

"Yes, it's the best gift anyone could give me. I love you guys."

"What about me?" Charlie asks with her arms spread out.

We all laugh as stephan walks over to her and scoops her into his arms. "Thank you princess, for being the best neice any uncle could ask for. I love you."

"I love you too uncle steph." She tells him planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Also the wedding in in two weeks, I need a best man." Seb says.

"Me?" Stephan asks shock on his face all over again.

"Yeah," seb nods.

"Hell yeah" stephan cheers.

"Hell yeah," charlie repeats.

Stephan cringes and looks at me "sorry."

"Thats a no word charlie girl."

"Sorry, mommy." Charlie says with a devilish smile that tells me she already knew it was a word she wasn't supposed to say.

For the next two week ari is hard at work planning the wedding of her dreams. Prez wanted to pay for it but I said no. I want to be the one to give Ari everything she could ever dream of. We ended up compromising and he paid for her dress.

I told ari we could have the wedding anywhere she wanted, she chose a clearing in the club's property. She said this is the place that brought us together and it's where we should be tied together the rest of our lives.

She had it beautifully set up. The chairs are all white, there's a white runner leading up the isle, an arch we will say our vows under wrapped in flowes amd loosely dropped ribbon. My description isn't doing justice of her vision coming to life.

I stand in my place at the alter with Jasper who's officiating. Meadow and knight are the first to walk down the isle. Ari made all of us guys wear suits. She picked out long, one strap, dark green dresses that look like they are made out of silk for her brides maids. Eli and locklynn walk down next followed by my best man, stephan, and aris maid of honor, her step mom peyton.

I wasn't at all suprised when she asked peyton to be her maid of honor. From day one peyton has welcomed Ari with open arms. If I didn't know better I would think peyton was aris mom. They both have the same heart. Dax walks down next carrying a pillow with rings tied to it. When he makes it to the end of the isle he hands the pillow to stephan and takes a seat with his mom. Ellie and charlie walk with their baskets throwing flowers in their matching white poofy dresses and tiaras like the princesses they are.

My breath catches when I catch sight of ari on her dad's arm making her way to me. She's in a dress with off the shoulder flowy long sleeves, the whole dress is covered in lace, there's a slit up her left leg, she looks like a woodland fairy, she even has a flower crown on over her long wavy hair. She's absolutely stunning. "Wow" I breath out loud.

"Jesus," I hear stephan mutter and I turn to shoot him a glare, he smirks back.

"Better take care of my little girl seb." Prez says when he hands over ari.

"Always," I give him a nod.

"We're all here today to witness the marriage of two kids who have proven that nothing in the world can keep true love apart." Jasper begins. "I believe in soul mates, many of my brothers have found theirs, I found mine. There's nothing that can convince me that seb and ari are anything but meant to be. Seb and ari have decided to write their own vows. We'll start with seb so you all don't get your standars too high."

"Asshole," I mutter under my breath. "Aribella masters, I wish I could find the words that accurately describe the way I feel for you, love isn't a strong enough word. I know what it's like to loose you, I wasn't me without you. I was a mess."

"Fuck yeah you were." Someone says from the crowd.

"See? They all saw it. I was barely breathing without you. I was alive but I wasn't living. You breathed the life back into me, my beautiful girl. There's a reason I call you angel, you are too good for this world, you were sent right from heaven to me, to save me from myself. I'll be forever in debt to your dad, he took me off these streets, he brought me to the club, he brought you into my life, he gave me permission for our first date, and to marry you. You are my best friend ari, the reason for my happiness and peace." I reach up to swipe the tear off her cheek with my thumb. "You are the best mother I could have ever dreamed of for my children. You took my brother in without question. You have the most beautiful heart you aribella are perfection. I promise to only make you cry the happiest of tears, I promise to always to protect you and our family, I promise to never put anyone above you, and I promise to love you forever and always."

She clears her throat and blinks trying to clear the tears from her eyes, "I should have went first," she laughs. "Sebatain, my sebby. I have been in love with you since I was kid. I have fallen more in love with you than I ever thought was possible. Youre such an amazing dad to our little girl, im so greatful she was such a wonferful man in her life to help raise her. You are the light in all my dark places sebby. You saved me, my love. When I felt like I couldn't go on you pulled me back. You showed me why I need to keep fighting, for you, for charlie, for our family. Even when I pushed you away you never gave up on me. You know my heart, you know my soul, you knew what I needed even when I didn't. There hasn't been a day in the last five years I haven't loved you with all of my heart. You never let me fight my battles alone, even when I want to. You are my prince, the knight who slays all the dragons. Those were the stories I told our daughter and they are true, sebby. We are so incredibly lucky to have you to protect us and our hearts, I know you won't let anything happen to them. I promise to love you even after death, I promise to protect your heart, I promise to be the light at the end of every tunnel you have to walk through, and I promise to always be honest and loyal, forever and always."

I swallow the lump in my throat and try to sniffle back the tears. "Shit," I shake my head and clear my throat.

"The rings?" Jasper asks.

Stephan hands them to Jasper, Jasper hands one to each of us "seb do you take this woman who is way to good for you to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." I say sliding the ring on aris finger.

"Ari are you you want to marry him? It's not too late." Jasper tells her and get him a laugh from everyone but me.

"I guess I'll keep him." I shoot a glare at her. "I do." She laughs sliding the ring on my finger.

"By the power invested in me, by the internet, I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now kiss your bride." Jasper announces.

I did just that I pulled her into my arms and kiss her as everyone cheered.
