I grab Gemma and dip her down as I kiss her deep before I bring her back up again.

She is giggling at my movement. When I bring her back up, I see that Eden has her eyes covered and Ace nudges her. I let go, Ace and Eden run to her and hug her tight.

As we leave, I take Ace's and Gemma's hand, while she takes mine and Eden's, and together we walk down the aisle as a family while everyone cheers on.

The reception is in full swing, I can't help but notice that I can't find Brody and Fern. They've been missing for a while. Fern said she was going to get a drink, and Brody said he would go with her.

I keep it to myself for a while before I turn to Alex. "I'm just going to check that my brother hasn’t murdered my best friend."

Alex grins. "Sure, love. Come back soon." He leans forward and gives me a series of small kisses on the lips.

I get up and move from table to table, stopping to chat to everyone along the way, which takes me longer than intended. I get to the bar, but they're not there.

I go into the hallway, and I hear raised voices. I walkdown there, listening to what is being said. The door is partly open; they’re in the other bar room.

“You can’t do this to me,” Fern says.

“We agreed to six months. We only have five and a half to go,” I hear Brody say.

“You promised. Are you going to tell Gemma?”

“No, it’s her wedding day. I’ll leave it until they come back from their honeymoon.”

I frown and open the door. “Tell me what?”
