Everything went beautifully. Garda finally caught my ex-dealer, Mike, with my auntie, who escaped from the jail the day before, in a car crash although they died instantly in the crash. Garda also found my auntie's diary which described her evil plans, including making me into a drug addict.

The fans were delighted when they heard that we had twins so they didn't bother about my past anymore. But it was all over and I was living in earth's paradise. Of course me and Mark still had our little rows now and then but beside that there was nothing too serious.

Nicky was growing up looking a cross between me and Mark. Skye was growing up looking a lot like Mark and she was developing Mark's style of eyebrow.

'Earth to Emily! Earth to Emily!' 'Huh?' 'My God! Where have you been Em?' Georgina was looking absolutely gorgeous in her bride's maid's dress. 'Sorry G. Is it time for me to go?' 'Yes love. You're looking absolutely stunning! I doubt your dad still wants to give you away now.' We broke into fits of laughter and I blushed. 'Thanx G. You're looking immaculately gorgeous with your big baby bump as well.' We laughed again.

'Ready Em?' 'Mitzie! I didn't know you could look *that* gorgeous love!' G, Mitzie and I laughed again. Of course I didn't mean it cos she had Bryan's heart and I knew Bryan had a very good taste. I laughed at that thought, how could I even joke with myself?

My other bride's maid was Sandra, who I finally told who was the father of my children and she fainted straight away when I told her. 'G, is Nicky and Skye ready?' We had chosen two beautiful white outfits for Nicky and Skye to match my bride's dress. Mine was a two piece outfit with a simple pearl and diamond tiara on my head. 'Yeah, they're with Mark.'

I smiled at the thought that in less than 5 minutes, I would be on my way to be Mrs. Feehily. Imagining what we had been through together and what brought us together. Talk about what brought us together, since Mark couldn't choose, Nicky and Bryan were going to be his best men. Shay and Ki were going to be busy making sure the service would go beautifully.

'Earth to Em again!' G flicked his fingers on my face and laughed. 'Ready love?' I was so nervous but I managed to nod.

'Oh my God Emily! You look so stunning! Unbelievable! You're looking immaculately gorgeous! No wonder our Mark is head over heels in love with you!' We all laughed. 'Thanx Nicky! By the way Nix, I never got the chance to tell you this but thank you sending me back to the centre and be there when I needed you the most. You saved my life and Nicky's and Skye's too. Thank you, you're an angel.' 'You're welcome Em. Anytime.' Nicky smiled sweetly and gave me a hug and Bry gave me another hug.

'Ready? Hang on, I'll check with Shay if Mark is ready okay?' Bry disappeared for a few seconds and came back with a grin on his face. 'They're all ready and Mark is so nervous he wasn't even on this planet!' 'You should've seen Em too, Bry!' Georgina chipped in and we all laughed. 'They're the perfect match then!' We laughed again although I was very nervous.

'Okay, Mr. Steefall, here we go!' Ki came out and confirming everything. I held on to my dad and he whispered to me, 'You look exactly like your mother Em.' I smiled and had tears in my eyes ready to come out. 'Mascara girl!' G shouted out to me.

The music started to play and the doors were opened. I could see loads of white lilies and white roses around the Church. And I could see my husband-to-be, looking so gorgeous and stunning I could've marry him twice in a row, smiling at me.

I walked slowly with dad, looking around the guests' seats and feeling so high. When I got to the altar, Dad gave me away and I took Mark's hands. We quickly fixed our gaze on each other and didn't let go each other's hands at all.
