The days following everyone showing up were a whirlwind. While I was worrying about everything I was also having fun and enjoying having all these people I loved here and being able to get away for a while from everything.

But we were down to 24 hours, I would be marrying Steve in the morning well later morning and I could not believe it had come so fast.

After the guys showed up we headed to Ashford Castle where we were having the wedding, dad had rented the whole place for us to enjoy and use without the public all around.

Everyone was now here that was invited to the wedding and in total, we had about 50 people here, we could have a lot more but it was nice to keep it kind of small as well. It meant that we had the people who meant the most to us here.

We had been enjoying having the place to ourselves though and all of the things that there was to do around. As I was walking down the hall I saw Peter sitting outside.

Walking out I sat down by him.

"What do you think about the view?"

"It's amazing, thanks for inviting May and me."

"Of course, I am happy to have you here."

"I was not sure, we have not spent a lot of time together, and well..."

"Peter, I'm going to let you in on a little secret story, whatever you want to call it. My dad cares about you, a lot. I always wondered if he wanted a son but you know he just has me. I know my dad loves me, I mean look where we are, I have never doubted his love for me. But I have also seen the way he is with you. I see how you are with him. You both get so excited working together and you work so well with each other. Now another thing, I have always wanted to have siblings, it's all I wanted when I was little. I never thought I would get it at all but it's almost like with you I get a chance. Now I know you love your Aunt and she is absolutely your family but I just want you to know that I am here for you as well as the others. You have this whole big extended family now that is always here for you. We might be a lot at times but I know you will get used to it and we will grow on you. But all of this is up to you Peter, we can be whatever you need us to be for you."

He is quiet for a moment and I see a tear fall down.

"Thank you, Rebekah. Things have been different but you have all been so nice. Being invited means a lot to me, I know you just have your family here so it does mean a lot. I have always been an only kid but always wondered what it would be like to have a sibling as well. So maybe we could be that for each other. Only if you want, you don't have to, I would understand. You can forget I asked."
"Peter, I would like that as well. I might not be perfect at it but I do promise to try and do my best. We can figure it all out together."

"I would really like that, Rebekah, thanks."

"Of course, Just so you know you can call me Bek's if you want."

"Ok Bek's, I am very glad to get a chance to be here, so thank you for having me and being so welcoming."

"Of course kid, now come on let's go find the others my dad has plans for today, and knowing him it is going to be a busy day."

"I'm just glad to be included."

"As long as you want to, you are welcome, you are now part of this family. Same with your Aunt, you both are always invited."

"Thank you." We both got up and headed to find the others.

We spent the day relaxing and making sure that everything was ready. I spent some time at the spa with some of the other girls. I was fully trying to relax and be able to enjoy the last day before I got married.
