Waiting for Superman

"It was so great to see you both!" Patrick's aunt said as she walked out of the apartment. "We'll see you both soon." His mom said giving us both a hug. He closed the door behind her.

We both high fived, and died laughing.

His mother and aunts visit only lasted two days, but after the start to it, we could not have been happier to see them leave unknowing to what had happened minutes prior to their arrival.

"I cant believe we pulled that off" he said.

After weeks of family being in and out we finally had a few days of just the two of us. We sat on the couch under a blanket entwined closely together not even paying attention to the television.
My head was nestled on his shoulder, my legs pulled over his lap.

"Only another week and a half and then you'll be a Kane." He said.

"I cant wait" I said.

"Are you sure you want to marry me?" he said staring into my eyes.

"Of course, Patrick" I said fondling his hand.

"Are you sure you want to marry me?" I asked.

"Obviously." he said

"Really? Even after you've seen me sick, and mad and crying and without makeup?"

"You've seen me sick, you rarely get mad, we've both seen each other crying and you're beautiful without makeup."

"I love you" I said kissing his cheek.

"Are you sure you really want to marry me after you've seen me sick and mad and crying and laid out on the ice?" he asked.

"You've seen me sick, your sexy when you get mad, its sweet when you cry, and when you do get laid out on this ice, I want to help you get back up." I said.

"I love you" he said sweetly.

"By the way," he said "I think i'm getting pretty mad."

I laughed out loud, "Oh, really?"
he nodded and kissed me hard.

"Well, lets move this to the bedroom then." I said

He picked me up and carried me to the bedroom.
...
We spent the next few days just being together. It sounds horrible, but I couldn't wait for the wedding to be over. I loved Patrick's family,and friends but we both missed just being able to hang out together, alone.

It seemed like whenever Patrick's family wasn't visiting there was cake tastings and dress fittings and thousands of appointments that left us exhausted.

It was the Wednesday night before Patrick's sisters returned, neither of us were in any mood to go out. The days had been another long and exhausting one, only 8 days remained until the wedding.

As usual we found ourselves cuddled together on the couch.

"Did you hear back from any of your family?" he asked.

"Not one, " I answered. "I cant believe how ridiculous they are."

"Its alright," he said brushing a piece of hair out of my eyes, "We'll have our own family soon enough anyway."

I smiled at him, "I can't wait," I said falling back into his arms.
...

Patrick and I were up early the next morning to pick up his sisters and Andrea, from the airport.

"KYLIE!" Andrea screamed sprinting at me. We hadn't seen each other in almost a year. Andrea, Kara, and I were roommates is college and together the two had become like sisters to me.

We bear hugged for a minute.

Andrea was a tall, bubbly red head. She had loads of energy all the time.

Her and Patrick hugged hello,they had met at my college graduation.

Next we picked up Patrick's sisters and we were off to Patrick and I's apartment.

The talk in the car changed from dresses, to hair, to nails and Patrick seemed completely out of it.

"There is way too much estrogen in this car." he said laughing.


"Oh shut up." Jacqueline said, laughing thumping the back of his head.

We got back to the apartment and the girls quickly unpacked. We had a dress fitting to get to. Patrick's groomsmen,Sam Gagner and Adam Burish would be flying in later that day.

"I will see you later." Patrick said kissing me.

"Awwwwwwwwww" all the girls said togther.

"Shut up." Patrick said.
...
"Its gorgeous" Andrea said staring at the dress, she had seen in it a picture we sent her but never in person.

"You're stunning!" Erica said.

I felt a tear beginning to form.

"No!" They all screamed running into hug me.

"These better be good tears!" Jessica said fluffing out the dress.

"Of course! " I said wiping away the tear on my cheek. "All good."
...
Patrick's POV:

We were in the tux shop trying on our suits.

"Are you sure your ready for this?" Adam Burish asked.

"yeah, why?" I asked fixing the cuffs on my tux.

"You, just always seemed like a little kid to me Kaner." Burish said. The other guys were in the waiting room, ready to go.

"Come on ladies!" Patrick Sharp yelled. "We don't have all day."

"Look," I said turning to Burish, "I love Kylie and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm 25 years old Bur, I'm not a little kid anymore."

"I know" Bur said slapping me on the back. "But you'll always be little Peekaboo to me."

We laughed, and soon enough we were all finished.

The six of us headed to meet Kylie, Kara, Andrea, and my sisters for lunch.

Kylie's POV:

We met Patrick, and all his groomsmen at Patrick and I's favorite restaurant in downtown Chicago.

"Kyls!" Sam Gagner said standing up to hug me. "Hi!" I said

We spent most of lunch discussing the bachelor and bachelorette parties.

"Tell me!" I said to Erica.

"Nope," Jessica said. "Its all a surprise."

The bachelor and bachelorette parties were both this weekend.

"I think we all know where we're headed." Sharp said.

"And where's that?" Patrick asked

"Come on, Kaner really?" Tazer said "You? Bachelor Party? Where do you think we're going?"

"Disney land?" Patrick said sarcastically, the whole table laughed.

"Vegas, man."
