Another Wedding.

"What is the reason you supporting your sister's wedding?

Arthur stared at his mother with a questioning face, " what do you mean, am her only brother am supposed to do that "

"Arthur I know your sister's wedding is important but you, them & I know it can wait until she's awake. So am not sure why your children are trying to rush?"

"Mother, Rose is in a coma that we don't know when she will wake & Alex and Ralph have been so busy to even hold a meeting about there own wedding. They finally got this chance without hospital emergencies so we are using it "he stood up

His mother watched him walk around the room, " I know you miss her, & we all do. But isn't the wedding a little early or rushed?"

"Alex has been waiting for this day like crazy, if it wasn't for the accident, she would be married by now. But she kept postponing it even after you guys had accepted their union. We know Rose is Ralph's sister and she needs to be there and she will. Although unconscious "

The wedding was soon approaching, everybody was up and down with wedding plans to finish. Only Arthur and his little son sat down in their living room and watched everything unfold.

It made his home lively, with noise and movement distracting his mind from his sorrow and pain.

He carried his son into the kitchen and grabbed two of Rose's favorite yogurt and went into her room. They say down next to her, Arthur opened one and fed his son first then opened his.

But his son grabbed his hand, wanting more of the yogurt he had, " Hi, play fair. You just had yours, let me enjoy mine " Arthur argued.

Little Arthur didn't bother listening and continuing fighting for a spoon of the delicious yogurt making Arthur end up giving in.

He gave up and watched his son fed on his share too.

"You have the same taste just like your mother " he blurted out.

Little Arthur giggled and continued eating his yogurt.

Alex was trying on her wedding dress but it seemed to not fit.

"When we bought it last week it fit, so what happened, " Irene asked.

Having a guilty look on her face, Alex said " Ahhh I think I gained some weight this week "

She had been under stress from the wedding and her surgeries that she didn't mind about the diet, Irene had given her to follow.

They glanced at each other and ended up sitting down." It's only a few days to the wedding and u can't fit in your wedding dress " Irene exclaimed.

"Am sorry I just feel like am forgetting and betraying someone "

"Me too," said Irene.

They both knew who it was but just felt better without saying her name.

Irene packed Alex's dress and left for the bridal shop to fix it.

Everybody was busy trying to move on and pretend everything was okay that they didn't realize they were just living in denial.

Sean who had left for a business trip had just returned. Irene was filling him up about what had happened when he was away.

"So the wedding is two days away?"

"Yeah, am super excited although I just wish Rose was here "

But even if they all wanted her there, it was impossible since she was still in a coma.

The day of the wedding had arrived, the guests had arrived at Arthur's mansion. It was filled with relatives and friends.

Irene was helping Alex and her friend get ready, while Arthur and Sean helped Ralph.

Soon Alex was being walked down the aisle by her father, who was beaming with a smile as he took her to him.

She looked dazzling that even her brother was amazed at how beautiful she looked.

They said their vows and exchanged rings, Alex felt her like she was living her dream. Ralph was the type of man she had always wanted to have. And now she had married him in front of all her loved ones. Her smile never left her face, everybody looked happy for her and was having fun after being in low spirits since Rose's accident.

Alex looked around her again, Irene and Sean seemed to be drunk. They were dancing crazily among the guest. Arthur was holding a smile on his face as he talked with the guest while he held his son. They both looked handsome in the tuxedos she had ordered for them.

Ralph come back and walked her to the dancing area where they danced until their limbs could not anymore.

Soon it was time for them today goodbye and leave for their honeymoon. Alex and Ralph come out changed and with their suitcases.

She Said goodbye to her parents, friends, and brother. Then went to Rose's room and kissed her goodbye.

"Hope you wake up soon " Ralph kissed her forehead and left the room.

They drove their car off, the guests also started to leave, and shortly only Irene and Sean had remained among the guests.

They had drunk so much that they could barely stand.

Arthur watched them staggering around his living room.

"Dorothy, get something to sober them up and lead them to a guest room," he said as he headed to his wife's room.

It was time to give her a bath, Little Arthur had gone to sleep after a day of being around different people who called him handsome and carried him around.

Arthur smiled as he thought about it, he got the towel and dipped it into the warm water, squeezed it then slowly cleaned Rose's face.

Even after being in a coma for a long time his wife's face still looked radiant and beautiful just like her name.

Unconsciously Arthur smiled while he cleaned Rose as he thought about all the funny things they had done together. After he was done he changed her outfit and left her room.

He had a shower and went to the study to review his documents for the company but he failed. Arthur felt like his life had lost something valuable, but he could not do anything about it but wait.
