It was time. We arrived at the church on time thankfully after the meltdown this morning. My dress fitted beautifully, turquoise slim sleek dress which rounded off my small but noticeable bump.
Maggie still hadn't noticed the ring which I guess was a good thing, although as she is my best friend I need to tell her but I don't wanna steal the limelight away from her ... I'll wait.
As I walk inside to the music; the church was beautiful ... everyone looked stunning. Leyton was there waiting. This was going to be me, and I have to say, I couldn't wait.

"You may now kiss the bride!" Cheers and claps filled the room a Sean and Maggie became husband and wife.
We all escorted out the front for photos before heading to the venue for the further entertainment.
My stomach was growling I hadn't eaten since breakfast I sometimes forget I'm feeding two in there ...
"Maggie and April?" The photographer called out! This was my chance ... while he's snapping the photos capture the moment I tell her.
"I'm getting married" was all I said before smiling to the camera. "What!" Maggie squealed quietly. She held me tight I could hear the snapping of the camera clicking away.
"Yesterday! I didn't wanna ruin your day by telling you!"
"Prilly you're my best friend. That won't ever happen. I need details. As soon as possible!!" She called across as I walked towards Leyton.
I was in awe that all this was going to be me soon. And I couldn't wait. I just need to have these babies before the planning starts!
—
The venue was decorated beautifully! Pristine turquoise and white. The afternoon soon continued and before we knew it, it was night time the fun begins.
I was exhausted but I wasn't going to leave early ...
"Baby, are you ok?"
"Yeah ... I just need some air. I'll be fine you continue mingling!" I smile kissing Leyton softly before heading outside.
"April Rhodes?" A voice says behind me.
I turn around who is this?
"I'm Avery."
Avery?
Before me stood this tall, long dark haired, angelic beautiful girl. You could definitely see why guys fell for her.
"Avery?" I questioned I knew who she was I was just confused as to why she was at my best friends wedding in front of me.
"Yeah. Grace told me you were here ..." I snarled figures. "Grace? And why is it you're after?"
"You're making a huge mistake ... April .... Leyton doesn't love you!"
Is she fucking kidding me right now?
"Are you kidding me? You come here, to my best friends wedding ... and start swiping accusations? How fucking dare you!!" Keep calm April, the babies.
"Look ... I know it's not something you want to hear"- I cut her short. "You're damn straight it isn't!!! How could you even come here and try to ruin what we have?! We're getting married, Avery, oh and we're having a family together"
Her face looked down towards my stomach. "I know ... Grace has told me everything. She knows he doesn't want all of this with you, it's what he wanted with me" how is she staying so calm in all of this!!
I got out my phone and dialled Leyton "you need to come out here, now"
-Leyton-
The wedding was beautiful. This was going to be all of ours and I couldn't wait. April left for some air but she was gone a while, I was talking to friends of Maggies and Sean's when my phone rang. "You need to come out here, now" April hung up. She sounded pissed.
I immediately grabbed my jacket and headed out front. "April? What's wrong? Is it the babies?"
"We're fine. But apparently, you deserve to be with someone else" I could see she was pissed and angry at the same time.
At that time Avery, walked from round the corner. "Avery? What are you doing here?"
My emotions were running high, I never expected to see her after all these years.
"Let me explain shall I? You're mother! Thought it was a great idea to call Avery, have her know where I was and tell me you don't love me and all of what we have is what you want with her!"
I've never seen April this pissed or even confident. Kind of a turn on but right now that really wasn't the time.
"My mother? Avery is that true!" I could feel some anger building up.
"I love you .. Leyton, leaving you was the worst mistake of my life ... you know all of what you want you can have with me! We can still have that?" She cried.
"Avery ... you broke my heart, you were my life. I gave you everything and you tore that apart. If it wasn't for April, I wouldn't have all of this. I'm sorry, but you need to leave"
I placed my arm around April waist to let her know I was here.
"No ... no I need you ... I want you!! You
Don't need some little girl ... I can give you what you want!!"
She came towards us.
"Hell ... you better leave before this gets nasty ... you had your chance you
Blew it!! How you can break someone the way you did Leyton and then expect it all to go back how it was?? Please tell grace her plan hasn't worked!!" April snarled. I think she forgets sometimes she's pregnant her rage just builds up, I calm her down letting her know our babies are in her stomach.
Avery steps forward towards April.
This wasn't going to end very well.
How dare she still be confess her undying love for him?
The rage inside me was steaming, I just knew Grace had something to do with this.
She stepped forward towards us, mainly me.
Without even second thinking my hand raised up and swiped her face.
I reached into her jacket and ripped out a microphone and her ear piece.
"Grace, your game is up!" I hissed into the microphone before stamping upon it on the floor. I could hear Leyton sighing behind me.
"You're lucky I'm pregnant ... Avery, because I would beat you into next week."
"You? Don't make me laugh, hun. You couldn't get me if you tried" and here are the true colours.
"I won't be pregnant forever ... then we'll see what happens"
At this moment Grace came round the corner guilt all over her face.
Leyton stepped in front of me, like some protection.
"Mother ... did you set all this up? For Avery to come and ruin what me and April have?"
"I'm only doing what we both know is right, darling. This is the one you belong with ... not some little immature girl" she snarled towards me.
"Don't worry Grace, when he realises what he's lost he'll come running back" Avery smirked.
"Both of you!! Enough!! My life is and always will be, with April. Avery I loved you ... so much but you hurt me, I cannot forgive that. And mother, you're my mom I will love you always, but if you cannot accept my new life and my new family, then I don't want you to be a part of it!" Leyton finally snapped ive never seen this side of him, his whole body image changed, his posture stiffened his eyes looked dark and angry.
"And here he is .... the real Leyton Stevens ... are you gonna tell your precious fiancèè or shall I?" Avery smiled.
"Tell me what, Leyton?" Now I was scared. What was he hiding? And why didn't I know?
