Previously:

Bailey moved off of me and laid on his side.  He pulled me back against his
chest.  I loved spooning with him.  I reached behind me and grabbed his
cock.  It was still half hard.  I moved it around a bit and slide it back
inside of me.  I felt his body shudder.

"Miah what are you doing?"

"I want to sleep with you inside of me.  Is that okay?"

"Better than okay Miah."

I felt his arms tighten around me and we both drifted off to sleep.  I knew
I was going to have good dreams tonight!


Chapter Twelve


My stomach was curled up into knots.  I felt like I was going to throw
up...again.  I was just adjusting the tie for my tux when Gina walked into
our bedroom.  She looked gorgeous.  She had on a strapless, full-length
black velvet dress.  Her hair was pulled up, but there were pieces that
hung down and framed her beautiful face.  There was a gorgeous diamond
necklace wrapped around her neck.  Gina borrowed it from her gram for the
night.  Gina walked up to me and gave me a hug.

"Everything is going to be fine."

She reached up and removed the clasp I had in my hair.  She ran her fingers
through my hair and made it fall around my shoulders.

"You look sexier with your hair down Miah."

Austin walked into the room, and he looked phenomenal.  That boy cleans up
fucking good!  He walked up to us and his hand ran through my hair as well.

"I'm glad that you got him to let his hair down.  This looks so much
better."

I smiled at both of them.

"Thanks Gina.  Thanks bro."

"Is anyone else as nervous as I am?"  Austin asked.

Gina and I both nodded our heads.

"I don't know why we are nervous.  Bailey and Sara are the ones that should
be nervous."

We gathered up our stuff and headed out the door.  It was opening night of
Into The Woods.  I couldn't wait to see the show.  Besides it being my
favorite show, Bailey and Sara were starring in it.  We made our way
downstairs to the limo that Bailey had got for us.  That man is too sweet.
He should have been thinking of what he had to get done tonight, but
instead he was still thinking of me.  God I love that man.

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

By the time the cast took their final bows I already had tears streaming
down my face.  Austin and Gina did as well.  The show was fucking
incredible.  I knew that Bailey and Sara had talent, but oh my god!  It was
truly amazing to see them up there, but it really wasn't them.  I
understand that it's acting of course, but normally you don't know who is
on stage.  Seeing people you know, but seeing them acting differently was a
bit weird at first.  By the end of the show though I practically forgotten
I knew either of them.  That's how good they are.  At the end of the show
the baker's wife, who died earlier, is singing to the baker as he sings to
their only child.  I had chills.  You could see the tears on both of their
faces and it just pulled you in.  The audience was on their feet for at
least 10 minutes when the show was over.  Bailey and Sara had gotten
thunderous applause when they walked out for their bows.  I was so proud.

After the show Bailey and Sara met us in the lobby.  He ran right up to me
and scooped me up in his arms while planting a huge kiss on my lips.

"Did you like the show baby?"  He asked.

"Like it?  I fucking loved it sweetie!  You were so fucking amazing." I
kissed him again, and then I looked over at Sara.  "And you my dear rocked
as well!"

They both blushed from the praise.

Bailey looked at me with that wolfish grin on his face.  And that meant
only one thing.

"Let's go home Miah.  I want to see if we can break the witch's spell on
our own."

I giggled.  A blush crept up over my face.  Oh sweet Jesus the things this
man does to me.

"Look you sluts, we are going out for drinks first to celebrate.  Then you
can do whatever you want afterwards."  Gina said with a laugh.

Everyone cracked up.

"Or you could just screw in the limo.  That would be fun to watch."  Austin
said with a leer.

Gina's head snapped towards him.  Shock was written all over her face.

"Are you trying to get traded to their time there Austin?"  Gina asked with
an eyebrow arched.

"Of course not Gina.  Am I not allowed to be comfortable enough with my
sexuality to admit that Bailey and Miah are fucking hot? Seeing them
together would have to be hot."

Bailey and I both blushed, and Sara was giggling.

"Hmmm that could be hot Austin.  Me and you watching them go at it like the
gay rabbits that they are."

Gina had this thoughtful look on her face and her finger was tapping
against her mouth.

"Bailey did promise me that I could watch.  I don't see why you can't be
included in that."

Our faces turned even redder, if that was even possible.  Gina and Sara
came over and gave us both a hug and a kiss.  They headed off towards the
limo outside.  Austin came over and gave us a hug as well.  Then he
surprised us.  He planted a soft kiss on both of our lips.

"I do love you guys.  I am lucky to have you both as part of my family."

We pulled him into a mini-group hug.  This was turning out to be one of the
greatest evenings.  My boyfriend kicked ass up on stage.  Our family, not
our friends but our family, was there to share it.  Bailey, Austin, and I
walked out to join the girls in the limo.  Tonight was fucking
unbelievable.

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

The next morning Gina and I were sitting at the kitchen table having a cup
of coffee and smoking a cigarette.  We both had that glow of people who
were loved...numerous times.  We just kept looking at each other and
giggling.

"How did we get so lucky Miah?"

"I don't know Gina, but I hope we stay this lucky."

"Me too stud."  Gina smiled at me and winked.  "And I have to say that you
and Bailey are a really good thing for Austin.  We've talked about you
guys, and he really does think of you as family.  He really didn't have
anyone when he was growing up.  Just like the three of us.  And he is so
excited that he has become of our group."

I smiled at Gina.  We both had tears in our eyes.

"We do have a pretty awesome family here don't we G?"

As we were finishing up our coffee Bailey came stumbling in.  He stopped
next to me and gave him a sweet kiss.  He moved around the table to get
some coffee, but stopped first and Gina got a kiss as well.  Gina and I
looked at each other with eyebrows raised, but before we could say anything
Austin sleepily came into the kitchen.  He got a cup a coffee and gave Gina
a kiss.  As he sat down in between her and I he leaned over and I got a
good morning kiss as well.  Gina and I looked happy, but confused.  I am
not complaining about the kisses, but I just wasn't sure of what was going
on.

"Guys..." Gina started. "Not that we mind, but what's with the morning
kisses this morning?"

Bailey and Austin exchanged surprised looks.

"Did you kiss them both?"  They said at the same time.

Everyone started laughing their asses off.

"I just wanted to show my family that I love them.  If you would have been
here you would have gotten one too buddy."  Bailey said with a grin.

"Ditto B."  Austin grinned back.

I felt some tears in my eyes.  I wasn't sad.  Far from that!  I've just
always wished to have a close-knit family, and it seems that I've finally
gotten that.

Gina and finished our coffees and went into the living room.  We each
lounged on a couch and put on some daytime talk shows.  They crack me up!
It seems that the morning surprises weren't going to stop though.  Bailey
came into the living room, and instead of sitting with me he sat behind
Gina and pulled her up against him.  There was one thing that surprised me.
There was no jealousy, but I expected it to be there.  Bailey looked over
at me and gave me one of those patented million-watt smile.  Gina and I
smiled at each other as well.  Austin came into the living room and looked
over and Gina and Bailey and smiled.

He came over to where I was sitting and sat down next to me.  I moved over
a bit and lit up a cigarette.  He looked over at me and his face fell a
bit.  His eyes glued to the TV.  I looked over at Bailey, and he could see
the question on my face.  His face lit up again and he nodded.  I tapped
Austin on the shoulder and he looked over at me.

"What's up Miah?"

I could hear a bit of pain in his voice and I felt like shit.  I didn't
realize that my moving away a bit would hurt him.  I just didn't want to
make him uncomfortable, but I should have known better.  I didn't answer
Austin.  I just leaned over and turned him sideways a bit.  I moved his
arms and lay back with my back pressed against his chest.  His arms wrapped
around me immediately and I could him relax.

"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings bro.  I just wasn't thinking..."

Austin interrupted me.

"It's ok bro.  This is new to me too.  I've always wanted close friends,
brothers even.  And I didn't want to come across as trying to come in
between you and B and..."

It was my turn to interrupt him.

"Well we all know now how close we are to each other.  So let's not worry
about it and just be comfortable with each other."

Bailey's voice came from across the room.

"I think we all have wanted a close family.  I think we got pretty lucky
finding each other.  Luckily none of us are jealous of each other.  So
let's enjoy our family."

We grinned and relaxed against each other.  Bailey was running his fingers
through Gina's hair and she looked so peaceful.  After a few minutes I
could feel Austin doing the same thing.  If anything in the world relaxed
me, having someone play with my hair was on the top of the list.  Somehow
in this mixed up crazy world the four of us were able to find each other,
and our wonderful family was born.  I counted my blessings everyday.

We relaxed like that for an hour or so just enjoying being with each other.
Some people might find it weird, but when you are that close to someone it
is wonderful to be able to share your love with them.  None of it was
sexual.  We truly did love each other, and life was good.

"So when are you two going to set a date?"  Gina asked.

Bailey looked down at her.

"A date for what G?"

Bailey's air left his lungs as Gina elbowed him playfully in the stomach.

"A date for your wedding you shit!"

Bailey's eyes met mine.

"We haven't picked a specific date yet, but there is something we need to
talk to you and Austin about..."

Bailey's voice trailed off and our eyes met.  We had discussed this and it
was the perfect time to talk to them about it.

"Talk to us about what B?"  Austin asked.

Bailey and I discussed about how we would ask this.  We decided that Bailey
would ask Gina, and I would ask Austin.  It didn't matter who asked who,
but we thought that if Bailey asked Gina instead of me doing it, then it
would mean more to her.  Gina knows how much I love her, but this gave
Bailey the opportunity to show her he felt the same way.  And the same
thing went with Austin.

This was an important moment for Bailey and me, and we both had tears in
our eyes.

"Gina..." Bailey began.  "We would be honored if you would be our maid of
honor for the wedding"

Gina's face showed the shock she felt.  We hadn't discussed what type of
wedding we wanted with them, but we decided that we wanted them to be a
part of our day.  Tears started running down her face.

"YES!!!! Of course I will be!  This is awesome!"

Everyone jumped up off the couches and there was a round of hugs. We were
all crying happy tears.  There was just one question left to ask.

"You are going to look beautiful walking down the aisle honey.  I can't
wait to see it!"  Austin said with a huge grin.

"Of course you'll see her Austin, but you will be walking with one of us
down the aisle, not Gina."

Austin looked at me with a confused expression on his face.

"What do you mean Miah?"

I grinned at him.

"Well it will be the duty of our best man to walk one of us down the
aisle."

His mouth flapped up and down.  I thought he would have expected us to ask
him to be the best man after we asked Gina to be the maid of honor, but I
was mistaken.

"You mean you want me to..."

He was flabbergasted, and looked pretty cute.

"Austin will you be our best man?"

He couldn't even respond.  He just nodded his head furiously.  This was
followed by another round of group hugs.

"Now that we've gotten that taken care of.  We have a whole damn wedding to
plan."

We had one more giant group hug and began to discuss ideas for the wedding.

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

The next few months were a complete blur.  There were so many details to
take care of it boggled my mind.  Luckily Gina and Austin were godsends.
They helped take care of everything.  If it weren't for them I probably
would have had some type of breakdown.  Anytime something went wrong one of
them was always there to step in and take care of the problem.  I was a
nervous wreck.

The day had finally arrived though.  I found myself waiting in a room with
Austin and my stomach was filled with what had to be a million butterflies.
I kept fiddling with the buttons on my suit jacket.  Austin came over and
grabbed me in a huge hug.

"Everything is going to be fine.  It's going to be wonderful in fact.  You
two were so meant for each other.  Besides you picked some awesome suits
for the wedding."

I looked down at the suits we had on and grinned. Bailey and I did do a
good job in picking them I had to admit.  Instead of going with a normal
tux we went a different route.  The suit jacket was actually a floor length
trench coat.  The vests we wore covered the entire chest.  We also wore
banded collared shirts.  Austin had on the same suit as we did except his
was black and ours were white.

There was a knock on the door and Gina eased herself into the room.  She
looked radiant.  We chose a strapless deep blue ball gown for her to wear.
She had a velvet wrap draped around her shoulders that matched the dress.

"How are you holding up in here stud?"  She asked with a grin.

"I think I am going to pass out."

Austin and Gina laughed.  She came over and gave me a big hug.

"You are going to be fine.  Bailey is mess too.  Everything will go
smoothly."

I grinned at her and nodded.

"Austin you need to go over and fetch Bailey. The time has arrived."

Austin gave me another hug and a quick kiss.

"See you out there bro."

He grinned and headed out of the room.  We decided not to have the ceremony
in a church.  Instead Gina arranged for us to use a hall in one of the
fancier hotels in town.  This way after the ceremony we could go right into
the reception.  Bailey decided he wanted to walk out first with Austin, and
then Gina and I would follow.  I heard the soft music began to play from
the hall and I took a deep breath.

"Let's go Miah.  It's time for you get hitched."

We both giggled and hugged again.  I gave her a kiss.

"I don't know what I would do with you Gina.  You're the best friend and
sister I could ever have."

I could see the tears of happiness in her eyes.

"Don't make me cry.  I just fixed my make up."

We grinned as we stepped out of the room and made our way down the hallway.
We entered the beautifully decorated hall and everyone was already on their
feet.  I could see Bailey and Austin standing in front of me.  My breath
caught in my throat.  Bailey looked gorgeous.

"Breath sweetie."  Gina whispered to me.

My eyes locked with Bailey as we made our way towards him and he that
amazing smile on his face.  A grin broke out on my own face.  I can't
believe this is happening.  We finally made it up to them and Gina gave
Bailey a kiss on the cheek.  He reached over and grabbed my hands as we
stood facing each other.

The ceremony was going so beautifully.  We finally made it up to point
where we had to say our vows.  There was so much emotion running through me
I just hoped to be able to get through them.  We had decided that I would
start.

"Bailey, you have brought so much love and happiness to my life.  My world
was full of darkness until you came back into my life.  You are the light
that has led me through the darkness.  I never thought I would find true
love, but you proved me wrong.  I melt when I gaze into your eyes, and I
tremble at your touch.  My heart was empty, but you filled it to bursting.
You not only completely me as a person, but you're love has made me a
better person.  I am stronger and more confident with you by my side.  I
know that I can face anything as long as you stand beside me.  Today I
pledge my love and my life to you.  I am yours not just today, but tomorrow
and forever.  I love you with all of my heart and all of my soul Bailey
Masters."

I could see the tears well up in his eyes as I slid the ring onto his
finger.  Bailey cleared his throat.

"Jeremiah you have shown me so many things throughout my life.  You showed
me what it means to be a friend.  You showed me just how powerful and
amazing love can be.  There were a few times in my life when I thought that
I had lost you.  Those moments I knew what pain was.  I know that I cannot
live my life without you in my arms.  Without you I am nothing.  I know in
my heart that you are my soul mate, but you are even more than that.  You
are a gift from heaven.  Every breath that I take and every beat of my
heart is for you and you alone.  I love you with all of my heart and all of
my soul Jeremiah Summers."

I couldn't stop the tears that had been building inside of me as Bailey
slid my ring on my finger.  Our lips met in one of the sweetest kisses I
have ever experienced in my entire life.  I could barely hear the crowd
cheering in the background.  I was so fucking happy I could burst.  The day
had finally arrived.  I was able to hold my husband in my arms.  Nothing
could make this day any more special.  Little did I know that Bailey had
plans of his own to prove that thought wrong.

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

Bailey, Gina, Austin and I were sitting at a table looking out over all of
the guests that were there.  Gina and Austin had both just given their
speeches.  They were both funny and the love they felt for us was very
clear.  Bailey and I cried during both of their speeches.  In fact Austin
and Gina cried a bit as well.  The reception was in full swing now and
everyone was having an amazing time.  We really did pull everything off
without a hitch.  The dinner was wonderful and I was having a great time.
Bailey and I sat practically in each other's lap the whole time.  We had
constant body contact.  Either we were holding hands or had our arm around
the other one.  It was a special evening.

Bailey reached over and tapped on his champagne glass to get everyone's
attention.  Everyone quieted down and I looked up at him.  What was he
doing?  We hadn't planned to make a speech.

"Hello everyone.  I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you again
for sharing in our special day."  He reached down and took my hand in his.
"I just wanted to take a moment from the celebration to give my husband a
special gift."

I looked up at him and confusion was written all across my face.  We had
agreed that we wouldn't be getting gifts for each other because no gift
could compare to how special the day was.  Once again Bailey was going to
prove me wrong.

"I wanted to sing something for Miah today to show him how much I love him,
but I knew that there was no way I would be able to get through it without
crying.  I was lucky though to get an extremely talented friend to sing for
me though.  Miah I love you so much baby, and this song is dedicated to you
my beautiful husband."

He sat down and pulled me into his lap.  He kissed me as the lights in the
hall slowly dimmed.  A woman gently stepped onto the stage the band was
playing on.  Her voice echoed through the club.

Lying beside you

Hear in the dark

Feeling your heartbeat with mine

Softly you whisper

You're so sincere

How could our love be so blind

We sailed on together

We drifted apart

And here you are by my side

The woman's voice was gorgeous.  She was a tall beautiful woman.  She had
to be a model.  Bailey must have met her when through Into The Woods.  She
was the perfect choice to sing this song.  Her voice out did Mariah Carey's
version.

So now I come to you

With open arms

Nothing to hide

Believe what I say

So here I am

With open arms

Hoping you see

What your love means to me

Open arms

Tears were streaming down both of our faces.  This moment was perfect.  I
knew that this would be one of the moments that I will cherish for the rest
of my life.  Bailey's arms tightened around me and I kissed him.

Living without you

Living Alone

Isn't the hour seem so cold

Wanting to hold you

Wanting you near

How much I wanted you home

Austin and Gina had moved behind us as the song was starting.  Austin
leaned down and whispered in our ears.

"You did an amazing job Bailey.  She is phenomenal.  It's funny though.
She really reminds me of you Miah."

But now that you've come back

Turn night into day

I need you to stay

So now I come to you

With open arms

Nothing to hide

Believe what I say

So here I am

With open arms

Hoping you see

What your love means to me

Open Arms

Through the song the woman was facing sideways a bit.  As the last note
echoed through the room with the crowd cheering she turned and our eyes
met.  There were tears on her face.  My breath caught in my throat.  I
heard Gina gasp.

"My lord Miah.  You two look so much a like.  She could almost be your..."

Her voice trailed off as I looked back and forth between Bailey and the
woman on stage.

"Bailey..."

I couldn't even talk.  The words got stuck in my throat.  He knew what my
question was though.  He slowly nodded his head.  I kissed him hard on the
mouth and I jumped up out my seat.  I practically ran towards the stage.  I
stopped a few feet from the woman who just sang so beautifully.  Only one
word was able to leave my mouth.

"Mom?"

I could see her body shake as she tried to hold back her tears.  Her head
nodded slowly.

"Miah..." Her soft voice began.  Just the sound of it sent memories rushing
through my head. "Baby I've missed you so much.  I didn't want to leave
you, but your father forced me away.  When I tried to contact you a few
months later he told me that you had died.  I wish I could have stayed to
protect you, but your father..."

Her voice caught in her throat.

"Miah I love you.  I never wanted to leave you.  I hope that you can find a
way to forgive me."

I bit my lip.  Tears streamed down my face.  If my father weren't already
dead I would have killed him.  How dare he send her away from me!  All the
lies he told me.

"I'm so sorry I never came to find you Mom, but everything he told me.  He
said it so many times I couldn't help but believe it.  I've missed you so
much."

Her arms opened and I rushed into them.  We cried as we held onto each
other.  She whispered words of love into my ear.  I can't believe it.  I
don't know how Bailey did it, but he did.

"I love you Mom."

"I love you too baby.  That husband of yours is an amazing person.  I am so
glad you two found each other Miah.  He is so lucky to have you baby."

"I'm the lucky one Mom."

We hugged again as Bailey, Austin, and Gina came over to us.  My mom
reached out and pulled Bailey into our hug.

"Well it seems that I've got my son back today, and got another one in the
process."

We all grinned through our tears.

"I take it you liked your surprise Miah?"

I didn't even answer him.  I pulled him against me and planted the biggest
kiss of his life on him.

"You are amazing Bailey.  I don't know how you did it, but thank you so
much."

"I love you Miah."

"I love you too Bailey."

As we kissed again my mom, Gina, and Austin surrounded us in a group hug.
Today has turned out to be the fucking best day of my life.  I'm married to
the man of my dreams, my brother and sister were here to share it, and my
beautiful husband brought my mom back into my life.  Things just don't get
any better than this.
