Beautiful Crazy

Part 49. I love my life.

"Are you ready for this sweetheart?" Dad says as he loops his arm through mine.

I've been ready for this day since the moment he first told me he loved me.

With a joyful look on my face, I nod. The church doors open. And at the end of the beautifully decorated aisle, stood my Noah.  And to the left of Noah stands Clayton, with a huge grin on his face.

She's so beautiful.

We walk down the aisle and my heart skips a beat. All of my family, and many friends, all watch as the best day of my life begins.

Dad and I arrive at the end of the aisle. Dad turns to me and plants a kiss on my cheek. He then looks at  Noah and smiles.

Noah gently grabs my hand and leads me to stand in front of him.

Brother Ed clears his throat. "Well we have all seen this day coming since the first time Elizabeth brought Noah home." Everyone laughs while I just admire Noah and our sweet baby girl.

"I would say all the dearly beloved crap but I know this family don't wanna listen to that so let's get right to it." Brother Ed looks at Noah and I. " The vows may begin."

Noah looks at me and gently grabs my hand. "Elizabeth, since the first day I laid eyes on you, I knew you were something special. You had this aurora that surrounded you, it was filled with nothing but love and joy and damn, I was all about it." A tear slides down my cheek as the crowd laughs. "So Elizabeth, I promise to always love, and cherish you, through sickness and health, you are my life darlin'."

I wipe my tears and look at Noah. "Noah you are the joy of my life. You have always taken care of me. You wipe my tears and always put me first. I promise to always love you and Maris with everything in me. I promise to be the best wife and mother of my ability. And I promise to always make you your beloved sweet tea."

Noah laughs as he wipes the tears from my eyes.  "Noah James Miller, do you take Elizabeth to be your wife?" Brother Ed says as he basically death glares Noah, daring him to say no. "With everything in my damn body." Noah takes my hand and slides the beautiful minimalistic ring on my hand.

"Elizabeth Hope Smith, do you take Noah to be your husband?" I shimmy with excitement as I take the ring in my hand. "Yes!" I slide the gold band on Noah's hand. I look up at him and see a tear slide down his face. "I now pronounce you husband and wife!"

I've been waiting to hear that since the first night I met him.

Noah scoops me into his arms and plants his lips on mine.

I love him so much.

Everyone claps as Noah runs down the aisle with me in his arms. This is a moment that I will remember forever.

*3 years later*

"Momma wake up! We gotta go!"
I'm shaken awake by my sweet dark haired baby patting my cheeks.

A smile emerges on my face as I take a look at the clone of Noah.

"Nathaniel darling, it is four am. May I ask why we have to go somewhere so urgently?" I hear a groan and see a sleepy Noah awake with tired eyes.

"Momma, I have to go." Now that's his serious voice. Realization hits me as I scoop up little Nate and rush to the bathroom.

"Oh yeah! I gotta take a piss!" Nathaniel says. I gasp as I place Nate on the tall toilet. A loud laugh emerges from the hall as Noah's huge figure enters the bathroom.

"Noah! Did you teach him that?!" I semi whisper/shout. Noah's eyes glimmer with amusement which proves my theory right.

"Mommy, Daddy! Help! My legs can't reach!" I turn to find Nate trying to get off the toilet. Laughter escapes my mouth as I rush over to help him.

Noah mozies over and takes Nate from my arms as I flush the toilet.

"Nathaniel why must you always have to piss- I mean tinkle at the wee hours of the night." Nate shrugs as a yawn escapes his little mouth.

Noah plants a kiss on Nate's cheek then takes my hand and guides us to Nate's room. He places Nate back in his bed which makes me want to cry. Nathaniel has started to want to sleep on his own since uncle Clayton does it.

Sometimes I think he admires uncle Clayton more than me. Just kidding. It's only because Clayton gives him chocolate milk before bed.

"Goodnight sweet boy, mommy loves you." I plans a kiss on Nathaniel's forehead then walk out the door with Noah's hand in mine.

Once the door is shut I turn to find Noah admiring my butt. I smile and smack his chest. Noah smiles then scoops me in his arms and carry's me back to bed.

Once we're all settled in, I place my head on Noah's chest which I notice is beating rapidly. "What's wrong sweetheart?" I question as I rub my palm over his heart.

Noah scoots up into a sitting position and places me in his lap. "I have an idea." I can tell he's nervous because his hands start to fidget.

Hm, this must be one heck of an idea for him to get this worked up.

"I think we should have another baby." A smile crosses my lips as I watch Noah intently play with my hands. "I just love being a dad so much, and seeing you with little Nate just makes my heart so happy."

I sit in silence for a moment trying to keep the tears down. Holy hannah I'm a mess.

A tear slides down my cheek which makes Noah freak out. "Elizabeth! What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Does my breath stink?" I laugh and hug Noah as tight as I can.

"Of course I want to have another baby Noah." A sigh escapes Noah's mouth. He pulls me closer to him and lays us back down.

"You scared me for a minute there darlin. I thought I upset you in some way." I smile and snuggle closer to Noah.

What feels like ten minutes later, I'm awoken by the sun shining through the large bay windows. A smell of bacon and cinnamon hits my nose which brings a large smile to my face.

I tie my silk robe and open the bed room door. The sound of music and the laughter of Nathaniel's sweet voice fills the air as I walk down the long stair case.

When I enter the kitchen I see my sweet boys dancing and singing along to 'I Want You Back' by the Jackson 5. Noah is twirling a whipped cream covered Nathaniel around the marble floors. "Daddy! My heads gonna explode!" Nate says as Noah twirls him faster.

"It's ok son, your mommy can fix it. But hey let's not tell mommy that I gave you that Hershey bar this morning, she might get angry." Noah says as he scoops Nate up.

"You got it." Nathaniel gives Noah and thumbs up then lays his head on his shoulder until he catches sight of me.

"Momma! I missed you!" Noah puts Nate down allowing him to run to me. He never makes it. Halfway to me poor Nate slips on whipped cream and hits the floor. I gasp and rush over to help him which doesn't do me any luck because I slip as well.

I hear a "fuck", then feel Noah run over and surprise surprise he slips too.

I frantically look to see if Nates ok. To my shock I find him with a grin on his face. "Ha, daddy look mommy has whipped cream on her head."

I laugh and pull Nathaniel on my lap and place a kiss on his chubby cheek.

Noah's hand wraps around my waist and pulls me to his side.

"Hm, so much for a D-1 family." I giggle and place my head on Noah's shoulder.

I love my life.
