Life in the big apple) the wedding

The fair

Stef's: POv
Today l'm taking Frankie out so we can spend some together and talk. On my way back to the house the day
I passed a sign saying the fair was coming to town
Francesca loves carnival and country fairs so l swung by and pick up two bracelets for tomorrow afternoon
I asked the guy would we be able to get in, since l purchased the bands a day early. He said it wouldn't be a problem as long as we show up before 6:00 in the evening that's when the bracelets expire, so l decided we would leave the house around 1:00pm and return around 5:00pm. We were all sitting down having breakfast as a family, Lena was reading the morning paper. I told Francesca we were going out for the day. She had a big old smile on her face, Ariana was eating her food. The dogs were in the kitchen having their own meal, l'm gonna have take them out before we leave out. It's going on eleven already, time is moving faster Frankie gets up from the table and walks over by the sink to wash her dishes out. Once she finishes Francesca goes upstairs to get showed and ready, Lena and I were already dressed
So baby what are you gonna do while we out Stef asks Lena. I probably do some laundry and go out back to sit in the pool for a while, so I can mentally prepare myself for this bridal shower that Addison's throwing us at the country on Saturday. Me and Ariana might go to the mall
So l could buy me a nice dress to wear, l can't believe we're be walking down the aisle a week from Saturday
If I can get through this rehearsal dinner next Friday
I'll be okay. Lena says to me as l'm at the sink washing dishes from breakfast, l take in everything Lena is saying it seems she really doesn't wanna go to this luncheon
Addison is hosting in our honor. Babe do you think we should have went to the court house and got married instead, Stef asks me. Ever since I was a little girl
I dream of having a beach wedding Lena says to Stef
I've noticed you've been stressed out lately Stef whispers
Because Ariana was in other room, baby l'm fine
Lena tells me. Alright my love Stef's not fully convinced
She let's the conversation go for now, momma l'm ready
I hear Francesca call out from the living room. Stef got up from the table and gives Lena a kiss on the lips, before she leaves the room. Stef heads up stairs to get her fanny pack and car keys, and comes back down the steps. Frankie walked out the front door, as they make their way to the mini van. I unlock the doors so Francesca could get in
We buckle up our seat belts.  I started up the engine and pulled out of the driveway, and made my way down the road. Francesca was changing the radio station
She had it down low so she wouldn't discub me while I was driving l keep my eyes peeled on what's in ahead of me. It wasn't before long we drove up to the parking lot of the family fun fair, we're l see a big smile on Frankie's face
We got both got out of the car and begin making our way towards the entrance of the fair grounds. I pulled out the bracelets from my fanny pack and handed one to Francesca to put on, she slips it on as l did mine
We walked up to the gate. There stood a guy that kinda looked like Gerald, he was looking at everyone's bracelet before letting everybody enter. I held Frankie's hand
As we went through the entrance,  Frankie l heard you were upset about the things your Nana said to mommy
Stef said as we were making our way towards the park around the grounds. Momma why is nana so mean
I don't like how she was saying all those nasty comments
Francesca says to me, babe your Nana's not well mentally
She doesn't like taking her medication sometimes, but l'm so sorry you had to hear all that. I promised your mommy l will always protect you guys with my life, l went to visited your Nana the other day and I told her she wasn't allowed back over the house until she knows how to respect our home Stef explains, momma can we go ride some rides right now and l don't wanna talk about Nana anymore Francesca tells me. Which one do you want go on first, Stef asks Frankie. Can you please go on fairest wheel
Frankie States. Okay come on so we can go line up
