*Tae's POV*

"Tae you're gonna have to stand still if you want this dress to fit right." My mom warned, as she adjusted it.

"Mom what do you know about adjusting dresses? Just call a taylor or something." I giggled. Taylor popped her head into the curtain. 

"Did someone say my name?" She asked. 

"Haa, stop being funny." I pouted. Taylor giggled a little bit. 

"Aubrey stop, go in the men's dressing room." She commanded. I just rolled my eyes. They're so cute. 

"Anyways, I'm finished." My mom said standing up. I looked up, gazing at myself in the mirror. I almost wanted to tear up. I looked so beautiful for a man I didn't love. 

"Thanks mom, it looks great." I choked out. 

"Uh-oh... I hear the water works." Destiny said, sliding the curtain back exposing everyone in the room. Stephen was there. He just stood staring at me. I don't think he's ever seen me in my dress before. 

"Please don't mess up your make up, I just did it." Mikayla pleaded. 

"I'm not gonna cry." I said lightly pressing underneath my eyes to stop the tears from streaming down my face. I looked back at Stephen again, but he had vanished.

*Stephen's POV*

"She deserves better than this." I mumbled to Klay. 

"You don't have to tell me. I spent the last 30 minutes listening to her dad go on and on about how she deserves better and how he told her ball players were no good, despite the fact that he's a former ball player and I'm one currently." He groaned, placing his hands in his pockets. 

"That sounds much better than making awkward eye contact with her through a mirror as she cries because she knows she deserves better." I huffed out some air. "I hate seeing her cry man. If I wouldn't have walked into that shoe store years ago, she probably wouldn't be going through all of this." 

"Yeaaaah, no. Steph you're probably the best thing that's ever happened to her. Don't start doubting yourself. I use to say that about Destiny, but now we're happy and we're married. That's exactly how I want you guys to be." He paused for a second. "You're still proposing tonight, right?" 

"Of course I'm proposing to her. There's nothing that anyone can do that will ever make me leave that woman." a small smile appeared on to my face as I thought of me making her my wife. To have and to hold right? 

"That's good." Klay looked over his shoulder. "I need to go get Lyric ready to walk down the aisle." 

"Good luck." I smirked, walking to my spot by the pastor. Ironically, I was a groomsman along with Deandre Jordan and Chris Paul. Klay is the best man, which is even more ironic because we're about to totally demolish this wedding. Then I'm gonna propose to his 'girl'. 

**********************************

*Destiny's POV*

"Lyric honey, you can't poke holes in your stockings. You have to be a pretty flower girl for auntie Tae." I coaxed. This little girl is so hard headed. But I love children, and I'm starting to love Lyric like she came out of my own vagina. 

"Is my other mommy gonna be there?" She asked. 

"I don't know honey. We'll see." I bit my lip. I didn't like lying to her, but the truth is we haven't heard from Hannah since Lyric showed up on our doorstep, or maybe even before that.
