flying without wings

chapter forty five

'Do you, Mark Michael Patrick Feehily, take this lady, Emily Ayu Patricia Steefall, as your wife?' Mark smiled at me and I was drowned again in his beautiful eyes. 'I do.'

'Do you, Emily Ayu Patricia Steefall, take this man, Mark Michael Patrick Feehily, as your husband?' I had been longing to answer this question and I could see that Mark was blushing. I smiled at him. 'I do.'

'I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.' Mark leaned forward to kiss me for the very first time as Mrs. Feehily. I closed my eyes and felt the heaven's door opened on us. I could feel something warm around us and I could hear birds singing outside, as if my mam was there cos I knew my mam adored birds so much.

Shay, Nicky (not our baby obviously), Bry and Ki sang 'Flying Without Wings' in acapella and I cried my heart out, remembering the night I told Mark that I was pregnant. The words of the song were completely true. 'You'll find it in the strangest places, places you never knew it could be... Well for me it's waking up beside you, to watch the sunrise on your face, to know that I can say 'I love you' in any given time or place. It's the little things that only I know. Those are the things that make you mine. And it's like FLYING WITHOUT WINGS cos you're my special thing. I'm FLYING WITHOUT WINGS. And you're the place my life begins and you'll be where it ends. I'm FLYING WITHOUT WINGS and that's the joy you bring. I'm FLYING WITHOUT WINGS...'

Then Ro and Stephen Gately, who was there with Eloy, sang 'Everyday I Love You' and 'I Love the Way You Love Me' in acapella. I winked at the lads and mouthed 'Thank you' to them.

As we walked out side, there was something weird going on. 'What the..?' I could hear Shay was saying.

There were petals of white roses falling down from the sky, showering each one of us. People were talking to each other, commenting that it was a miracle. Shay and Ki stood in the middle of it with fully opened mouths. Bry was giggling with Mitzie, dancing in the middle of the petal rain. Nicky and G were kissing with G's bump on the way which made me smile, remembering when I had a bump *that* big.

There was one petal that caught my eyes. I picked it up and there was something written on it. 'Congratulations love. I love you. Mam.' I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and Mark saw me holding it. He took it and read it. He gave me a hug and said, 'We're very lucky sweetie. Very lucky.'

We kissed again and Mark whispered to me, 'I love you Mrs. Feehily.' 'I love you too darling. Sweetie? You're going to be a father again.' Mark looked straight at me with wide eyes. 'WHA'?' 'Ssshhh..' I nodded to Mark and smiled at him. Mark hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead. 'I don't know if I can get any luckier hun. Thank you for loving me and for everything else that I can't count.'

Mrs. Feehily and my dad brought Nicky and Skye to our arms. I noticed everyone were already standing around and behind us, grinning for the big pic. 'Ready? One, Two, Three!' The photographer said.

When we got the result back, the rose petals were still going strong, coming down from the sky, but amazingly it didn't rain down on us when we took the picture. So it was like a nature frame around us.

Also a soft glow was glowing around me, Mark, Nicky and Skye. Mam was definitely there but I didn't dare to tell everyone else but Mark. After all, if you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's definitely yours and if it doesn't, it never was. And I had proven it.
