You are my homie, lover, and friend
Exactly why

You light me up inside
Like the Fourth of July

Whenever you're around
I always seem to smile

And people ask me how
Well, you're the reason why

I'm dancing in the mirror
And singing in the shower (Shower)

La-da-di, la-da-da, la-da-da
Singing in the shower (Shower)
La-da-di, la-da-da, la-da-da
Singing in the shower (Shower)

I just smiled with a drink in my hand watching Meadow, Sarai, Amie, and Ashlie performing their favorite song at the moment in this family bar.

Paul just laughed with his arm wrapped around me and a beer in hand.

"They really love this song." He said while chuckling

"Baby, you were at work about two weeks ago and they played the song on loop for an hour straight and almost drove me insane," I replied while laughing with him

"Maybe I should've warned you two years ago that Meadow does that all the time." Paul voiced

"Now, Sarai does so we're even," I added while shaking my head watching them both dance around the stage not paying a bit of attention to the big crowd watching them

"They bring the best out of one another..." I then said while smiling and feeling that piercing gaze on me before a kiss was pressed against my forehead

"I wonder who has Meadow dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower, Paul?" His Mom asked causing his eyes to go wide as Caleb, Cody, Paul's Dad and I began to laugh wildly

"I really don't need to go back to L.A. and go to jail. I'm a married man now." He groaned

"Aww." His family cooed in cadence

"Alright, alright, leave me alone." He teased while laughing

Meadow, Sarai, Amie, and Ashlie then walked over out of breath with bright smiles before Amie said, "I'm going to need a drink or two after that one."

"Please, a drink or two is going to have you up there thinking you're Janet Jackson." Cody snickered causing me to stuff my face in Paul's shirt trying not to laugh at his rambunctiousness

"I kinda want to see that. Not gonna lie!" I said with tears falling from my eyes from laughter

"Why do you just say everything on your mind twenty-four-seven?" Caleb asked while laughing trying to come to his sister's aid

"Because, I'm 26 and can get away with it." He rebutted as Sarai ran over toward the door while yelling happily, "It's the team!"

"Sarai!" Me and Paul called getting up to follow her before noticing it was, in fact, just her Aunts and Uncles

"Let's get this party started now!" Tyrese exclaimed as he began greeting everyone

"Serenity!" Michelle said happily as she pulled me into a warm hug

Pulling away we then noticed Paul and Tyrese were now holding onto each other's necks with smiles.

"10$ on one of them breaking a bone one of these days from their greetings." Paul's Dad said while laughing as they finally let go and he hugged Tyrese

I loved every last moment I shared with this group. Crazy and loving would be my only words to describe them. Years ago I wouldn't have believed they were this close to one another, but every last one of them were nothing short of what an angel is.

"Hey, baby, let me steal you for a bit before things get crazy," Paul said as he grabbed my hand once everyone had gotten their proper greetings in and were now settling

"Of course," I replied as I began walking with him out of the bar

"What's wrong?" I asked as we walked toward the beach that was sparkling under the moonlight

"Wrong? Absolutely everything is right!" My husband exclaimed as he abruptly picked me up and spun me causing me to laugh blissfully

"Alright, alright!" I yelped

"You're going to give me and the baby whiplash!" I stated as he sat me down

"Gotta let him know Daddy's fun early!" He rebutted with a smile that lit up my world

I just wrapped my arms around his neck while biting my bottom lip innocently.

He had been lighting up the skies every time I referred to our baby and every time it made my heart swell a happiness I couldn't define or explain.

"I love you..." He then said making sure to kiss me long and slow right after

"You love me? Serenity Walker? The girl from California who fell in love with the most unpredictable person ever?" I said giving him the same expression he held when he told me that a year ago

"Yes, woman, I'm in love with you in every way possible," Paul replied in a tone that would never set my heart free of him

"I can't believe our wedding is tomorrow! Please, pinch me Speedy!" I gushed while covering my face

"Can I bite you instead?" He asked mischievously

"You wanna bite me, baby?" I asked while batting my eyes ever so slightly at him

"Let me cover the baby's ears..." He said as he placed his palms on my small belly before saying, "You know I want to and that's just the beginning of what I want to do to you."

His tone was so sexy but it was too hard to take him seriously with his palms on my belly as if that was going to stop the baby from hearing anything even though it was too early on for the baby to hear anyways.

We just smiled at one another for a minute before laughter overcame the both of us.

"You're such a dork!" I laughed while pushing his hands away from me

"Yeah, I'm the same dork who's going to love the hell out of you." He promised as his hand found its way to the small of my back while I pressed my head gently against his chest, hearing his steady yet rapid heartbeat

"That's if I don't first." I rebutted softly over the waves that calmly crashed behind us

A/N: Hey my loves! I hope you loved the chapter! I'm writing wedding vows soon again 🫠 Did you all like the lure? I made sure to put little callbacks from the beginning to mid-chapters of the book!

I know there isn't much drama right now, but it's coming sooo don't kill me. 😂🫶🏽
