Gen 2- Chapter 2: The road is gonna be rough.

Thank you to SimsVIP_Admin for the hairstyle, Barrette and No Bangs. I really appreciate gifts and this really meant a lot to me because you are the first person to gift me in a long time. Thank you so much!


And thank you to Katlynn McCain for this toy box set! The future children are sure to love this <3333 And as I said before, one of the first people to gift me in awhile so thank you <3

I laid in bed for hours, thinking...hoping that no matter what happens...I'll be happy with it. But it isn't always that easy. Today is Shiloh's birthday and if I wanted her to leave...she already would have. But I was going through serious problems with letting go right now. This isn't how I am...I know how excited I was to be finished and where I am. But now that I'm here...it all seems so weird.

I had really only gotten about 3 hours of sleep but it felt like forever before my phone started to ring off the hook. "Della...its going to be perfect." My mom was so excited about this dress that she started on it the day I asked? At least she's enthusiastic. "Mom, its 5 Am" I said with a yawn "Why are you up"
"Holy crap!" She exclaimed. "I lost track of time completely...I thought it was 10 Pm." She laughed and defended herself. "I've been busy!"

The phone clicked when she hung up...after 50 minutes of conversation. All about the one thing I really wasn't feeling up to talking about. But right at this moment...I had decided to start to flow with everything. I was going to open up to this wedding thing and I think that starts with me and Adam's visit to that church later this afternoon.

"I think its beautiful," Were the first words out of my mouth as we walked into the church. "But we really have to think about this..."
"I'll give you time." Adam said simply. He was much more into this than I was. When we walked into that room, his eyes started to light up and I saw that it made him happy...So why not be happy with it to? "Adam?" I said touching his arm. "Book it. Its what you want and if it makes you happy...then I'm happy!" When I said this, his smile brightened. "You're sure? You don't want to sleep on it?"

"I'm sure" His genuinely happy disposition caught me off guard...It made me happy...And not the kind of happy that I was before...

When he picked me up, spun me around and kissed me...I knew that I wasn't happy at all...I was in true bliss. the kind that you always think is too good for real life and can only be found in books and movies. I found my forever.

Adam had his own planning things to do today so we went home separate and I decided to invite over my wedding party and tell them...that they're my wedding party XD This is what I had in mind for bridesmaids:

Violet Newbie, Kalyn Waine, Dawn Turner, Liana Masons, Amber Lights-Masons and my maid of honor will be none other then Vanessa Wood. My flower girl would most likely end up either being Collette or my niece. Depends on how old Collette is by that time.

"There are so many things I want to tell you guys," I said as all my friends were sitting around my living room. "But the main thing is that...I need you guys' support more then ever right now. I'm having a really hard time putting this together and so many people want to help and it just..." I stopped. "I'm sure you know Amber." Was the last thing I said before pulling out a list of guests. "I'm trying to put this together in two weeks, so while I make invites, will you guys address these envelopes?" each one of them took about 4 or 5 envelopes and a pen. I headed to my computer where half of the screen was covered in sticky notes.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 

"I'm sorry," I glared at my phone. Not listening to what Adam was saying. My frustration in him was reaching its peak. "I should have told you before, but I knew you wouldn't go for it!"
 "I would have...but you didn't have to lie to me about it." The conversation on my end wasn't very enthusiastic.
 "Its only 3 days...And you know, pre-marriage counseling might be fun.. It comes with getting married in the church."
"Just tell me when it starts and I'll be there."
"7:30 Pm." He was disappointed in my attitude, I knew that little bit. But I couldn't help myself. I already had enough on my plate right now. and Now for the next 3 days I have to spend that precious time in a pastors office, with a bunch of other couples, talking about marriage.

When Shiloh aged up, I almost cried. She was so beautiful, I couldn't believe it. It made me wonder how her twin sister would look if she had lived. The girl I was taking pictures of was exactly who I wanted all my children to be like. She's so selfless and as gorgeous on the outside as she is on the inside.

Baby 99, Asa, and Baby 100, Collette. They are the end of a challenge but the beginning of a life and an era. Asa loves his beautiful sister as much as she loves him. They both love video games and puzzles. They both have never touched a book. I bet they're excited for school ;)

Before I knew it, there I was. I was lounging on a couch while Adam sat next to me. The other three couples were cute. They each looked scared but I showed no emotion. I knew exactly what this pastor would talk about. Sex. our relationship and differences. personal experiences, goals and why we wanted to get married. And of course, a development of a long term plan to keep our love alive. When I looked this up online when I was one of the scared ones...I thought "This will be easy." I was probably the only girl in this room who knew exactly what I wanted. I was probably the only girl here...who didn't have the guts to plan a wedding.

"So," The girl sitting next to us said "How did you two meet?" The question came fast but it didn't take me more than a second to say. "We ran into each other..."
 "Literally" Adam added while twirling my hair. "As in, we were both jogging and neither of us paid much attention and we ran into each other." He smiled at me and I could tell that he knew I was still not very happy with him about putting me in this situation, but you know, like he said, it could be fun.

Kelly and Jacob,
 Merna and Paxton,
Olivia and Devin,
 Della and Adam.
All these names were written down on a single piece of paper for Pastor Mike. He took it and sat down in our little circle. "So, all of you are soon going to embark on married life. How did you come about with your soon to be spouse? Kelly and Jacob?" The girl sitting next to me, who had asked how we met started to talk and it all just seemed so little girlish but at the same time, so adult. Jacob just smiled, letting her talk.

When it came to us, I was frazzled by so many different love stories, how these couples had met. I looked over at Adam for approval and he nodded. "Well," I started. "Me and Adam weren't exactly romantic at first. He told me he was gay and for months and months, I believed him. He somehow got me to accept him as my friend and then best guy friend." I winked and it was returned soon after. "So, I had believed he was gay when my boyfriend proposed...but you know what? now that I think about it...I don't think I would have ever gone though with it."

 "So the night that she broke up with her boyfriend, I came out to her and we've been together since" Adam finished for me.

"Okay, now that we've got that out of the way..." The pastor said as soon as our story was finished. "I'll take the men into the next room for a little meeting and you ladies can talk." Adam kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "Good luck, darling." I smiled back at him as he waved. I settled down before noticing that all 3 of the other women were staring at me.

"What?" I said pulling my hair behind my ears. "Did I do something?"

 "No." Kelly inquired, "He did"

 "He'll be gone, for like 10 minutes? Yet he looked like he was being tortured by being pulled away from you." The blonde girl, Olivia, said with a dorky smile. "Devin is happy to get a minute away from my hyper jabbering."

 "You're a lucky girl to have found someone who would do something like that for you," The last girl, Merna, put in. "I mean, I love Paxton, but he never acts like that with me."

All three of the girls nodded and agreed. "I think you two are SOOOO lovely together." Olivia said, dazzled. "So? How many kids are you planning on having?" This was the one thing I had never really thought about and when I said that I didn't know, the question was redirected towards Merna.

She went off "I want 2! A boy and a girl. Its the perfect balance; the boy would never feel unloved by having a younger or older brother to take all the attention and the girl would never go a day without another new outfit." We all laughed, but Merna was serious.

 "I want 5, But I don't know if Devin wants kids or not." Was all that Olivia had to say about the matter.

Kelly was pretty much quiet while listening to all of us, but when she said. "I don't want kids....But Jacob does." We were all pretty stunned.

 That was when the men walked back in. I was actually having fun with these women. Maybe we could come out of this thing as good friends? Anyhoo, Adam sat next to me and Pastor Mike started to talk again.

"Okay, this might be a little awkward for some of you who have never been married before." As the night progressed, I actually learned a few things about myself and Adam as a couple.

I learned about my own goals and how to incorporate them with Adam's.  The 3 sessions went really fast and I began to realize that no matter how hard I tried, I would never be whole without my Adam.
He sat just a few feet away most the night, every night until pastor Mike told us to cuddle up to our fiance and stay that way the rest of the meeting on the last night.
Everyone else seemed just as comfortable as we were with this. I walked away with 3 new friends and a new look on my relationship with Adam.

As soon as we got home on the last night of counseling, I started dinner. But right as I got the food on the oven, the phone started to ring. I had gotten over my frustrated attitude and I had taken a whole new light to this wedding. "Adam, will you please get the phone?" Not much longer after it had stopped ringing...Adam had popped his head into the room and said..."Your dress is done."

Thank you for reading this short-ish post <3 It means a lot that you're still sticking around with me. And now only 2 more posts until the wedding <3
