"Honey, how could you not attend your sister's wedding? Ah? Please go na?"
"No, no! I'm not going without you?"
"What if something happens? What if you get labor pain?"
"Aunt Evelyn is here! She will help me in case of emergency!"
"Still… you can't even sleep without me!"
"It's just a week. I'll manage by myself."
"But.."
"Think! How will Sara feel if her brother is not with her on her big day?"
"She told me it's Ok!"
"You are going and its final! If you go against my word, then I'm never gonna talk to you!"
"Baby!"
"You going or not?"
"Ok! I will go!"
"Ok!" Esther clapped her hands happily and got up.
"Where are you going?"
"To pack your bags!"
"I'll do it by myself! Time to sleep!" Oliver said holding her and guiding her carefully to bed.
Sara is getting married next week but doctor prohibited her from traveling. But by that time everything was decided and even guests were invited. So in the end Esther couldn't attend the wedding.
Sara is getting married to Felix Brown and the wedding is taking place at New York.

Next day
'' Baby, are you sure! ''
"Yes, I am damn sure! Now get going!"
Oliver hugged her wife tightly and bend down to kiss on her baby bump.
"Dady will miss you!" he said and kissed his baby again.
He got up and hugged his wife again and said
"I'll miss you too my baby!"
"Me too!"
Oliver kissed on her forehead, then eyes, nose, cheeks and at last her lips. They shared an intimate kiss. After a few minutes,Oliver reluctantly left her lips and said
"I love you!"
"Love you too!"
"Baby I don't know why! But I'm feeling emotional and I feel like I'm going to get seperated from you forever. I don't want to leave!"
"Stop you drama Mr.husband! I'm not going anywhere!"
"Promise?"
"Promise!"
"Bye!"
"Bye!"

A week later
It's Esther's and Oliver's first wedding anniversary today and Oliver is on his way back to home.
Mr and Mrs Smith , Sara and Felix are also with them.
Mr and Mrs Smith will be staying with them until Esther's delivery, as for Sara she wanted to visit her sister-in-law.
Esther baked Oliver's favourite Tres leches cake to celebrate their special day. She tried to control herself a lot but her pregnancy hormones betrayed her and she ended up eating a piece of cake even before Oliver cake home.
"We landed" Oliver texted her.
"Ta-da"she sent the picture of the cake.
"Wow! Wait! Who allowed you to cook!"
"Sorry hubby! It's our wedding anniversary na?"
"I'm forgiving you this time! But where did that piece of cake go?"
"It's your baby! He is really impatient!"
"How many times I told you! It's 'she' not 'he'"
"Ok! Ok! Now come fast or your cherry will eat the whole cake!"
"Ok! Love you baby!"
"Love you too!"
Esther took the cake and kept it inside fridge. She prepared a couple bracelet as gift.
Oliver's bracelet has Esther's name on it and Esther's has Oliver's name!
She was smiling ear to ear imagining how he will react to her gift.
She waited for more than a hour but they were not here yet.
"Where are you? Why are you not here yet?" she texted but no reply. She tried to call him but his phone was out of reach.
After a few minutes she got a call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mrs. Esther Smith?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Ma'am, your family met with a car accident. Please come to XYZ hospital as soon as possible!"
"What? No!"
