Chapter 139
Ella
“Woah” I move to breathe out slowly. My eyes quick in taking in the scenery around the reception hall. Having just finished with taking photo’s that I now got to see where the reception was being held.
“Do you like it?” questions Caleb. Caleb currently holding Elijah while Dylan held Faye.
“Like it? I love it” I say. Excitement bubbling within me as I move to look at my three wonderful husbands. The instant joy I suddenly felt when seeing them soon taking place. My mind soon on the ceremony and of the vows we each shared before all to see.
~ Ceremony, A Few Hours Prior ~
“Hello and welcome one and all as we gather here today to bare witness to a spectacular occasion. The wedding of Ella Warner and those of the Knight Family. Reece, Dylan and Caleb.”
At the mention of Warner do I suddenly blush. A piece of me completely unaware of my surroundings yet knew we had to use the name Warner in order for me to marry. Reece and his brothers simply smiling. The Officiant still rambling even as he stood beside us unphased by my blush.
My eyes still locked on each of my men, my blush soon forgotten even as I move to hear the Officiant say something about vows and dedications of love. His voice loud and proud as everyone listened. As if excited to hear more. The Officiant clearing his voice before moving to continue.
“Today on this joyous occasion we gather here today as we help celebrate the lives and the love these four people hold for one another. As they stand before you under the house of God and say the vows that they each prepared for there magical woman. For the woman they love and cherish for all of eternity.”
The room now silent as everyone sat listening to what Reece, Dylan and Caleb would finally say in terms of vows. My heart racing at the thought. My palms sweating even as I stand there waiting for them to speak. Reece soon the first one in clearing his throat. My eyes quick in finding his even as he moves to speak up.
“Stellina. My beautiful Stellina. Not a moment goes by that I don’t regret telling you sooner just how much I truly love you. From the time you were eight, and up until now does my heart only belong to you and you alone. For you are my light. My love and my entire world and for that I’m eternally grateful in calling you mine.”
When hearing his words do tears begin to rise. Reece’s confession a bit of a surprise yet deep down I felt like I knew. Reece and his brothers each loving me with unconditional love. Just like I’ve loved them in return. My mind quick in bracing myself for what Dylan would say next.
“Ella. My sweet, adorable Ella. Not only are you humble and kind, your also graceful as well. And with a body built for dancing I’m amazed at how well you’ve managed to dance your way into our lives. A dance I never knew existed until recent. Your light bright in brightening my soul and those around us.”
The tears in which I’d been trying to hold back soon falling from my eyes. My eyes wet even as I let them fall without cause. Not even trying to stop them from falling as I search for those of Caleb. Caleb’s eyes still locked on mine even as he moves to share his vows with me next.
“Ella. My dazzling yet wonderful Ella,” the small crowd that was currently present soon chuckling. Each one clearly moved by Caleb’s small move in affection. Caleb unphased by the sound even as he moves to continue.
“My need for speed has always been constant. Almost as constant as the love I have for you. And while I might not always have the best way in showing my affection, I know without a doubt that what I feel for you is true. And with you as my guiding light I know I’ll always remain true to you and our family for all eternity no matter what.”
The vows from Caleb the icing on the cake as my tears officially fall. A piece of me grateful in wearing waterproof makeup. The Officiant quick in switching to me as it was now my turn in giving my vows, vows I had manage to write prior to my wedding.
Quick to swallow, I continue to hold their gaze. My eyes, although wet held nothing but love for each of my men even as I move to say the vows I so desperately wanted to say.
“Reece. Dylan, Caleb. The three of you alone have always been my shining light. My compass and one true north. My protectors, and the keepers of my heart. To fight those who seek to do harm while fighting to protect my honor and for that I’m eternally grateful.”
Reece, Dylan and Caleb each just smiling for while my vows weren’t anything special or fancy, they did however come straight from my heart thus making them real. And while real was what I wanted, the Officiant was soon quick in saying a few more words before finally letting us kiss.
Our kiss slow yet heated, as those who were present began clapping and cheering until finally we part. My chest quick in heaving heavily, my cheeks flushed from their passionate kiss. Neither of them lacking as they move to claim my mouth yet again. The crowd getting louder and louder.
My thoughts soon interrupted by that of Dylan. My focus quick in finding his even as I move to return towards that of the present. The four of us still standing within the reception hall even as I move to smile. The thought of me spending the rest of my life with them rising. For while I may not know how to fight, there was one thing I knew I would do and that was fight to protect those I loved, and I’d be damned if I let someone else claim them as their own.
“Are you hungry baby?”
“Yeah, I’m starving.”
“Then let’s eat. Dinner should be ready any minute now.”
Giggling, we each move to join up with the others. Unaware that we would soon have unwanted visitors for while things had been quiet, it was only a matter of time before things turned crazy. And by crazy I meant a brawl. A brawl we weren’t physically prepared for, nor would we ever be.
A small nagging sensation soon rising within me even as Reece and his brothers each moved to lead me towards our destinated table. Mrs. Foster quick in reaching our table before moving to take both Faye and Elijah. My men each moving to kiss their tiny heads as do I before Mrs. Foster moved to whisk them away. A piece of me wanting them to stay but knew they had to eat and nap so they wouldn’t be crabby.
Mrs. Foster having just left the room when the sound of an explosion goes off and chaos erupts within the room. The sound of screams soon filling the air as those who didn’t know how to fight went and searched for cover while those who did, armed themselves for battle.
*Author’s Note: Hey guys, so sorry it’s taken me a week to update but as I’ve previously mentioned I was in the middle of moving and still working on getting things settled. Not to mention that this chapter gave me a little bit of trouble but hopefully with it now written I should be able to write 140 with a little more ease. So until next time. Bye.*
