Rescue Me (Sidney Crosby)

Chapter Eight Six

-Julie-

"Come on, Jewels, lighten up! You're getting married!" Andrea laughed and handed me a shot.

"Oh, I'm so going to regret this," I sighed and then took the shot glass in my hands, "Here's to peer pressure," I laughed and then brought the glass to my lips and tilted my head back, hearing the girls cheer.

Vero, Catherine, Trina, Allie, Andrea, my mom and I were in Florida, spending our three days vacation before the wedding, relaxing and drinking on the beach. Taylor wasn't happy that she was left behind to babysit Josh and Catherine's one year old son, Alex. Today was our third day here, our last, and tomorrow we were going to be heading back to Pittsburgh, the same day that I was going to be getting married. I was scared that something was going to happen, because from what Andrea says, we're landing at two in the afternoon, and I'm scheduled to walk down the aisle three hours later.

"What time are we leaving the hotel tomorrow?" I asked and everyone groaned, "What?"

"Julie, calm the hell down," Vero said and I sighed, "Everything is going to be all right!"

"I'm just worried, I feel like-"

"If you saw that you don't want this to be like the Hangover, I'm going to kill you," Catherine said and I giggled and then shook my head.

"Why am I the only one that's worried?" I muttered and then felt an ice cube hit my stomach, "Hey!"

"Relax!"

-Sidney-

"You have everything?" Marc asked as I looked around and then nodded my head, "The dresses shipped off?"

"Took care of it last week," I smirked and Marc nodded his head, "Same with the suits, everything's good to go."

"We should go, we miss flight," Geno said and I nodded my head.

"Come on, little dude," I smirked as I picked up the sleepy Josh and felt him place his head on my shoulder and wrap his arms around my neck.

"Where's Sasha, daddy?" Josh asked sleepily.

"We had to board her for a few days, we couldn't bring her with us," I said and Josh sighed and I walked out of Marc's house.

It was early in the morning, I was getting married tomorrow. The guys and I that were still in Pittsburgh were flying down to Texas to get the wedding ready, I was excited to see Julie's face when she realized that we were having our wedding in Texas instead of Pittsburgh.

"What time do they land tomorrow?" Marc asked as he pulled himself into his SUV.

"Um, I think two or three," I said as I placed Josh in his car seat and then looked over to see that Taylor was in the way back of the SUV sleeping. Geno pulled himself into the backseat next to Josh and I jumped into the passenger seat, "Kris said that he's already at the airport," I said as I peaked at my phone.

"All right, let's go," Marc said and then started the car and pulled out of the driveway.

-Julie-

"Today's the day!" Andrea squealed as we all piled into the rental car and drove to the airport, "You're getting married today!"

"I know," I laughed and then hopped into the passenger seat, "I'm so nervous, but I'm so excited."

"That's how I was," Vero smiled brightly.

"That's how I remember it to be," my mom said and I felt her hand on my shoulder, "My baby's growing up."

"I'm just happy I like my in-laws," I laughed and Trina giggled and patted my arm.

We got to the airport and Andrea and my mom took care of everything, I had to hand my ID over and then started to talk to Vero. When we got our boarding passes I looked at the time to see that it was about ten in the morning, out flight didn't take off for another hour.

'...And we're going to make it to Pittsburgh in four hours?...' I thought and then sighed, '...I guess so...'

"All right, our gate is this way," mom said and I grabbed my carryon and followed the crowd.

"Can I carry my pass?" I asked and Andrea shook her head, "Um, ok," I was getting confused.

"She's just trying to give you less stress," Allie said as she linked her arm with mine and we walked through the Miami airport.

"Less stress of carrying my boarding pass?" I laughed a little.

"Eh, we're not carrying ours either," Vero laughed and I shrugged my shoulders and found our gate.

"Here Jewels, listen to this mix that I made you," Andrea said as she threw my her ipod.

"Um, that's all right-"

"Nope, I'm giving you ideas for what music you can play at the wedding," she laughed and I sighed and placed the headphones in my ears and started to listen to the music.

-Sidney-

"Is that her?" Josh asked and I chuckled and shook my head, "Her plane hasn't been announced yet."

"Sid, you think she knows yet?" Marc asked and I shrugged my shoulders.

"Probably not," Julie's dad said, "Andy is pretty good at hiding things."

"That's good," I laughed as I held Josh.

"Come 'er, son, more family showed up that I want you to meet," her dad said and I nodded my head and followed him into the corner of the waiting area outside of the security check point.

I was introduced to more cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, just a lot of people. I heard my name called and saw Marc and Geno waving my over.

"They here," Geno said and I smirked and looked at Josh to see him smiling brightly.

Word spread that their flight had landed, everyone stood together and I was in front, holding Josh and waiting to see my future bride.

"Vero says they're coming off the plane now," Marc said as he looked at his phone.

"All right, here we go Josh," I laughed and Josh smiled brightly and jumped in my arms a little.

"Mommy!" Josh said when he saw Julie, but she didn't hear him. She was looking around the airport totally confused and I laughed because it didn't click yet. They all walked towards us and I laughed a little when Andrea had her hands over Julie's eyes, "MOMMY!!!"

"I hear my baby," Julie smiled brightly and Andrea walked Julie over, "Can I see my baby boy now, Andy?"

"Sure," she laughed and moved her hands.

"SURPRISE!!!" everyone yelled and Julie froze and then her eyes went wide.

"What?! Wait! What are you- How are you-" I laughed and walked up to her.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her cheek, "Welcome to Texas babe," I said and Julie looked around and then gasped and covered her face with her hands.

"I feel so stupid," she laughed and I smirked and hugged her tight, "I'm looking around like, I've never seen this part of the Pittsburgh airport before," I laughed and then shook my head, "What are we doing here?"

"I'm marrying you in Texas," I smiled and she gasped and then looked towards her family and started to cry with a smile on her face, "And that is what I was hoping to get!" I cheered, "You're family couldn't come to Pittsburgh, so we're coming to your family."

"I love you," she said and then wrapped her arms around my neck and then pressed her lips against mine.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Taylor yelled, "Wedding in three hours, we gotta go!"

"Right!" I said and pulled away.

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!!" Julie yelled and everyone looked at her confused. She turned to the girls and I smirked, "How the hell did you pull this off without spilling the beans?"

"It was definitely hard," Vero said and Marc laughed and wrapped his arm around his wife's waist, "But it was so much fun, and a lot of work!"

"No wonder you wouldn't let me look at anything at the airport," Julie said and Andrea laughed and walked up to her sister and hugged her.

"Let's go! you need to get your dress, your hair, your- Ok, we have a lot of work to do!"

"Yes, yes, yes, come on!"

"I love you," I whispered into her ear and she turned around and kissed my cheek, tears still trying not to flow out of her eyes, but that bright smile was still on her face.

"Thank you."
