Two Months Until The Wedding

"Dude, it's perfect."

"I agree."

Maria smiles and turns to face Roy. The smile across his face tells her everything she needs to know.

"Damn, if we would've gotten married you would've definitely worn this suit."

"Thanks, babe."

Roy winks at her and they start laughing.

"Mommy, I need help!"

Maria turns to her daughter and helps her button up the white shirt.

"You look amazing, Mona."

"Thanks, Rick!"

"Wait, Ria, I tought you and Carol decided you were both going to wear dresses."

"We did, but I wanna surpise her. She wanted to put a suit on me for so long and I just wouldn't accept it."

"Yeah, my girl is all about casual."

Maria rolls her eyes at Roy while taking off the bowtie.

"I think it's really sweet."

"Thank you, Sonya. At least, you get me."

"Can daddy take a picture of us, mommy?"

"Of course."

Roy takes out his phone and takes a few pictures of his girls.

"I can't believe you're getting married and it's not with me, babe."

Maria smiles at him and takes his hand.

"I still love you, and you know that."

"I love you too, monkey."

Maria giggles at the nickname they, now, call their daughter. She hugs Roy, knowing that she'll never stop loving him. He was her first love, the first guy she was intimate with, he's the father of her child. He'll always have a special place in her heart.
