June.

"My baby boy is getting married today, Danny."

"Excited?"

"I am.. I'm so happy for him and Emily.."

"But?" Danny could see a sadness in Jessica.

"But he's my baby boy." Jessica looks at Danny with tears.

"I don't know how I'm going to get through that dance.  The song.. oh gosh, I'm going to be a mess!"

Danny placed his hand on her back and softly rubbed his thumb back and forth.

"Remember how cute he was when he was little?  I mean, he's still cute but, my chubby Zaya was So stinkin cute!"

"He was pretty cute." Danny chuckles.

"Yes!  Those thighs!  Oh gosh, the way he would run to me.  Just a diaper over that big ol butt!  Shouting, "Mama Num Nums!  Num Nums!" Oh gosh, he was hooked on the Num Nums!"
Jessica sighs. "....My baby boy.. where did the time go?"

"Look at you! You are the most beautiful mother of the groom I have ever seen." Danny walks behind Jessica as she puts her earrings on.

Danny wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her cheek.

"I'm so nervous! My stomach is in knots."

"Why baby? You're not the one getting married." Danny chuckles.

"Because my baby boy is going to be someone's husband today! She's going to be the most important woman in his life now."

"Honey, I know Isaiah, and I know how much he adores his momma. You will always be his number one. You taught him how to be the amazing young man he is today. You've done an incredible job, honey."

"Thanks.. you helped too." She chuckles.

"I did, but for the first six years of his life the boy hated me!"

"Aw!" Jessica laughs. "He loved you!  Just not as much as he loved me." She smiles.

"Of course not!  You're gold to Isaiah."

"I am." Jessica's smile grows.

"He's such a Mama's boy.. and he's going to have his own babies soon!"

"Isn't that amazing?"

"I think someone in the family should carry the baby for them." Jessica says taking Danny by surprise.

"You think either one of our daughters would go through that if it wasn't for them?" He asks.

"Heh!  Well probably not, but it would be nice!  I don't like the idea of trusting a woman to carry your child for nine months.  We don't even know her, Danny!"

"Honey, it'll be okay." Danny chuckles. "Don't worry about it."

"I always worry!"

"I know you do but let's just enjoy the day."

"Okay.." Jessica smiles softly.

The wedding is about to start.  Everyone is lined up and ready to go.

"Emmy and Willow, just how we practiced, remember?"

"Yes mommy." They smile.

"Okay!  Do good!" Jessica gives them a thumbs up.

"You too, beautiful." Emerson says.

"Aww!  You are so sweet!  Thank you, my handsome!"

Jessica then stands up and walks over to Isaiah.

"You ready?"

"Oh yeah!  I can't wait to marry her." He says with excitement.

Jessica saw how happy her baby boy was, and that made her feel so much happiness.  She wrapped her arms around him and held him tight for a few seconds.

"I love you So much, Isaiah.  I am so proud of the man you have become.. and I wish you and your beautiful wife nothing but the best."

"I love you more, momma.  You don't even know how much I love you."

"Aw.. Momma's your favorite, huh?" She smiles.

Isaiah laughs. ".. Yeah, but don't tell dad!"

"Oh honey, he already knows!" Jessica chuckles and hugs him once again.

"Treat her right, Zaya.. treat her the way your father treated me.. love her always.. and be the best husband and father you can possibly be." Jessica says with tears in her eyes.

"I will.  I promise I won't disappoint you."

Jessica smiles and plays with his dark curls. "You never have, Isaiah. Ever!"

**

Just before the ceremony started, Jessica wanted to speak with Emily.

"Oh look at you!  You look gorgeous, honey."

"Thank you so much, Jessie!"

"Emily, I just wanted to say how happy I am Isaiah found you."

"Aww.."

"I mean it, Emily.
..Isaiah is my little boy.. all I ask is for you to be an amazing wife to him.. love him because he deserves to be loved. He really does. He's such a good boy."

"I will. He's the best." Emily smiles just thinking about Isaiah.

"I know you love my son more than anything, and I appreciate that so much.
.. Isaiah is the little boy that asked me to kiss his boo-boo's, the one that asked me to read him a bedtime story.. the one that followed me around and asked constantly if I was okay.  I raised him to be a great husband.. I can only hope Mr. Huston and I did our job as his parents.
Today I'm not losing a son.. because he will Always be my baby.. but instead, I am gaining a daughter."

"Oh.. that's really sweet!" Emily says fighting back her tears.

"Mrs. Huston.. You loved Isaiah first.. you kissed him first.. you held him first.. you'll always be so special to me.. thank you for raising the man of my dreams."

Hearing that made tears just pour down Jessica's face.  She smiled and embraced her daughter in law.

**

The music is playing and the guests are all seated.

Isaiah walks in, followed by his parents.  Next the groomsmen and bridesmaids enter.  Then finally the flower girls and ring bearers.

Charlotte Rose was the first to enter.  She looked beautiful walking down the aisle.  She loved that every eye was on her as she tossed the petals down the aisle.

Next was Emily's nephew, and then the twins.

"Look at them!" Jessica smiles.

"They look so cute!" Danny chuckles.

"They do!  Oh gosh.. Willow is picking up Charlotte's flowers!  Honey No!" Jessica whispers.

"Don't do that!  Throw yours on the ground!"

"Charlie messy, mama!"

"Shhh!" Jessica couldn't help but laugh.

When the twins got up to the alter Emerson threw his pillow.

"Oh I'm so embarrassed!  Can we just pretend they're not ours?" Jessica asks.

"Hi mama!" Emerson shouts and waves.

"I don't think so." Danny says.

"Go with sissy! Anastasia, get them!" Jessica whispers loudly.

Now it is time for Emily to walk down the aisle.

The second Isaiah saw his beautiful bride he broke down in tears.  She was his everything.

Seeing him cry of course made Emily cry as well.

When she and her father reached the alter, she smiled at Isaiah and he said, "You look so beautiful."

"Thanks!" She giggles.

Emily's father wiped her tear as she continued smiling at Isaiah.

"Thanks, daddy."

Her father kisses her on the cheek then shakes Isaiah's hand. "Take care of my girl."

"I promise I will, sir.  Thank you so much for making the most beautiful girl in the world."

"It's no big deal." He shrugs making Isaiah laugh.

**

During the wedding Emerson and Willow got extremely bored.

Jessica gasped and grabbed Danny's arm.

"Daniel!"

"What the hell are they doing?" He asks.  His face turning red with embarrassment. "Who's phone does Willow have?"

"Who cares?!  I'm gonna beat their ass!"

"Gabriella!  Get them!" Jessica says in a low voice.

Gabriella grabs both of them and takes them to Danny and Jessica. "My son is listening.  You two take care of your pain in the butt's!"

"Mama I bored!"

"Quiet, Willow!  Just play your game and stop it."

"I wanna play!" Emerson shouts.

"Shhh!  Here, take my phone." Danny hands him his cell phone.

Once the twins were occupied with the cell phones, the rest of the wedding went very smooth.

**

The wedding is over and now it's party time.
Isaiah and Emily enter the room for the first time as husband and wife.  They then dance to the song "I Cross My Heart" by George Strait.

"Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

The two swayed to the music.  Neither one ever wanted this moment to end.

"You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's a breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be"

"Zaya, you are the man I've always prayed for.. I can't wait to spend forever with you."

Isaiah's eyes watered and he smiled down to his beautiful bride. "I love you, Mrs. Huston."

"Woah, that's my name!" Emily laughs.

"I love you too.. Mr. Huston." She smiles cutely.

**

After Emily danced with her father, it was Isaiah's turn to dance with his mother.  The song "Mom" by Garth Brooks played as the two made their way to the center of the dance floor.

"A little baby told God
Hey I'm kinda scared, don't really know if
I wanna go down there
Because from here it looks like a little blue ball
But that's a great big place and I'm so small

Why can't I just stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don't you want me, too?'
And God said, 'Oh child, of course I do
But there's somebody special that's waiting for you'

So hush now baby don't you cry
Cuz there's someone down there waiting who's only goal in life
Is making you sure you're always going to be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your Mom

Now when she's talking to you
Make sure you listen close
Cause she's gonna teach everything you'll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners to love and laugh and dream
And she'll put you on the path that'll bring you back to me"

"Look at you!  You're married, Isaiah!" Jessica says with a chuckle.

"I am!" He laughs.

"Why are you crying?" Jessica asks holding his cheeks as her tears slowly roll down her face.

"Because I love you."

"Aww!  I love you more."

"I don't want you to worry.. no matter what.. you're still the number one girl in my life."

"Aw!" Jessica cried even harder.

"You used to call me your girl when you were little.  It was so cute!  It's crazy how you're grown now.. I still think you're going to run up and ask me for Num Nums!" She laughs.

"Oh mom.. that's gross."

"But you used to love it!" She laughs. "Oh and do you remember that bear that played the sound of my heartbeat?"

"I still have it." He smiles.

"Aww!  You're so sweet!"

"Thanks." He chuckles.

"So hush now baby don't you cry
Cuz there's someone down there waiting who's only goal in life
Is making you sure you're always going to be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strong
Come on child it's time to meet your Mom"

"I love you.  Thank you for being the best mom a boy could ask for."

"You're welcome, honey.  I love you so much more.  Remember that I am always here.  And I will do absolutely anything in the world for you!  Don't ever forget that!"

Isaiah smiles softly and hugs his mother.

"I won't, momma.."
