I Only Miss You When I'm Breathing (39/41)
Long Time Coming:
Arizona opened the door to see the second most beautiful bride she had ever seen. There she was, her beautiful little girl all grown up getting ready to marry her best friend. Arizona walked up behind Madison and helped her put her veil in the newly done hair.
"You look absolutely beautiful sweetheart," Arizona said as she took in her firstborn.
"Thank you Mommy, gosh I am so nervous."
"I know what you mean, I was like that when I married your Mama."
"Have you seen him? Oh my god! What if he changes his mind? I think he is probably about to run for the hills," Madison rambled off just like her mother.
"Madison Elizabeth Robbins-Torres, that boy loves you. He has loved you since he was 3 years old, there is no way he is walking away now. Besides, I would kick his ass if he did."
Madison let out a nervous chuckle as her other mom entered the room. Arizona looked up and saw her wife looking amazing. Even so many years after they first met, Callie was absolutely stunning. Age had been very good to her and just made her more perfect in Arizona's eyes.
"She's freakin' out huh?" Callie said as she took in the situation.
"Yeah, just like we were on our wedding day."
"You are gorgeous baby girl. I can't believe how fast you grew up. They are ready for you in a few minutes."
"I'm going to go give Tyler the talk," Arizona said as she excused herself.
"Mommy, don't scare him. You already gave him the 'hurt her and I kill you' talk years ago."
"I will be gentle, I promise." She kissed Madison's cheek and then gave her wife a soft kiss. "See you out there."
Callie straightened out Madison's veil and asked, "Are you ready?"
"I think so. I'm just so nervous and worried that this is not real. God Mama, I love him so much."
"I know you do. He loves you too sweetheart."
"How did you know Mommy was the one?"
Callie thought back to that day, "Well, I just knew the moment I saw her at the end of that aisle. I was walking towards the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Your Mommy was the person I wanted to wake up to, she's my best friend, and I just knew I couldn't live without her."
"Ya that's Tyler. This is definitely the right thing," she said calming down a little bit as a bright smile spread across her face.
"Tyler is a good man. He will take care of you and you two are going to be so happy. I can't wait till you give me some grandkids."
"Ha, one thing at a time Mama. I just have to get down that aisle first."
….
Meanwhile, across the chapel, Tyler was about to get the low down from Arizona.
"You look very handsome Tyler," Arizona said first.
"Thank you Arizona, I bet Madison looks amazing. I just can't wait to see her."
"She's a bit of a wreck. Afraid you are gonna change your mind on her."
Tyler laughed, "That sounds like my girl. She's crazy to think I wouldn't jump at this chance to be with her forever. I have loved her my entire life."
"I know. We always knew you two would end up together."
"I couldn't image my life any other way. She makes all of my dreams come true."
"That's exactly how you should feel. I don't think I need to say more than if you hurt her your ass is grass right?"
"I get it Arizona, trust me I would never do anything to hurt her."
"Good. She's my first little girl and I'm entrusting her to you. Take care of my baby Ty."
"I promise that I will. Nothing could keep me from spending my life taking care of her and making her happy."
Trevor peeked his head in, "Alright son, you ready?"
"Never been more ready in my life," he said as he smiled ready to go see his woman.
…..
Tyler was up at the alter looking to see his bride coming down the aisle. She had one parent on either side leading her to the alter. They put her veil up and gave her a kiss on opposite cheeks.
"We love you Madison," they both said to her.
Callie turned to Tyler, "I know Arizona gave you the talk, but you better take care of our baby."
"I promise," Tyler said as he turned and took Madison's hand.
Callie and Arizona sat in each other's arms watching their oldest daughter promise herself to Tyler who was basically a second son to them. Natalie stood next to Madison as the maid of honor and Leo was proudly Tyler's best man. They looked at their three wonderful children and were extremely proud.
The minister finished with, "you may now kiss the bride." Their first child was married. Tyler and Madison walked hand in hand down the aisle as a tear fell down Callie's cheek.
"I can't believe she's married" Callie said looking on.
"I know. They are perfect together."
….
Later on at the reception they were all having a blast. Leo had just turned 21, so he was taking advantage of the open bar. Tyler laughed at him and went up behind him.
"Careful bro. You don't wanna end up passing out before the end of the night."
"I'm not going to pass out, I'm gonna find a pretty lady to take home."
"Don't do anything too stupid. There is a breakfast in the morning and you don't want to do the walk of shame in front of your moms."
Leo laughed, "Thanks for the advice. And Ty, I'm glad you and Madison ended up together. It just fits."
The dj then announced the first of the serious of dances for the evening. "Okay folks, we are going to have two parent dances. First, it's the mothers of the bride, then the groom's parents."
Arizona took her daughters hand while Callie led Tyler out to the floor. Callie and Madison were excellent dancers and glided all over the floor.
"Let give them a run for their money Mom," Tyler said as she swung Arizona out and twisted her back into his chest.
"Okay son, lets do it."
Callie and Arizona were eyeing each other as they each tried to show off. Then, halfway through the song they switched so that they got a chance with each half of the couple. The next song, Allison and Trevor stood up. Tyler danced with his mom and they talked about the future. She kept pressuring him for grandbabies, after all the honeymoon was a perfect place to start.
"So Madison, you ready to be an Anderson?"
"I think it is a little late for that question, but yes I am more than ready."
"You know Tyler has loved you forever. I remember down in Brazil at bedtime he told us you and him were going to get married and get lots of dogs. The same week you told your mom's you wanted to have a beautiful wife when you grew up."
Madison laughed at the story she had heard many times when they teased her about Tyler. "Yeah, I had to settle for him though, pretty girls didn't really cut it for me."
"Treat my boy right Madison."
"I can't wait."
…
A few hours later, everyone was danced out. They couldn't believe that it was almost over. Just the family was left. Leo had left with some girl, but the parents and new couple were wrapping it up.
"Did you see Leo stumble out with that blonde bimbo?" Callie said as she took a gulp of her drink.
"Oh, so blonde's are bimbos?" Arizona teased.
"Not all blondes. Not my blonde, but she was a bimbo laughing over his every word and throwing herself at him. God, he makes me so frustrated sometimes, I want him to find a nice girl that he should want to bring home to us."
"Relax Callie," Trevor broke in, "Leo is just being a young man. He will find a great girl someday."
"I know, I just want what is best for my kids."
"They will have the best Cal," Arizona said, "And did you see Natalie and Brie tonight? They are so adorable, probably should start planning that wedding."
"I'm glad that all worked out. Seems like they have been together forever too," Allison pointed out.
"I like Brie," Madison said from her spot next to Tyler, "And I knew little Natalie liked the chicks since she was like 13. Every time we went to football games, she had her eyes on the cheerleaders."
It was true, Natalie never had any interest in the boys and since that weekend at the Stanford Graduation she was out as a proud lady lover. Natalie and Brie had been dating since a few months after that and were about to graduate high school. They had both committed to the same college and were going to be on soccer scholarships.
"Yeah their sleepovers turned a little less innocent right after your graduation from college Madison," Callie said.
"Speaking of less innocent. I think we should let these two lovebirds get to it," Trevor slurred pointing to the bride and groom.
"Dad!" Trevor warned knowing his Dad could be quite outspoken with a few drinks in him.
"Whatever Ty. Besides I know you took her innocence a long time ago….Junior prom right?"
Madison's mouth dropped open and she blushed just like Arizona.
"Trevor! I do not want to think about my little girl in that position," Arizona said clearly wanting to change the subject.
"She's not a little girl anymore," Allison added.
"Okay, on that note. I am going to take my bride to bed. Great conversation," Tyler said.
"Thank you for such an amazing day Mommy and Mama," Madison said as she kissed them both.
"Have a good night," Trevor told his son in a hug, then he gave them both a wink as they left.
"Well, I'm gonna take my sexy wife to bed," Callie said as she pulled Arizona out of her chair.
"Allison, we have a bed calling us too," Trevor said following suite.
….
After a night of love making, Callie and Arizona lay in bed running hands up and down one another.
"Today was wonderful," Callie said.
"Yes it was. They are so happy. Oh to be young and in love."
"We were once young and in love. Now I'm all old, but still just as in love as on our wedding day."
"Same here. We have some pretty great kids don't we?"
"Yes we do. I just wish Allison and Trevor had a little girl that Leo could settle down with," Callie said still frustrated that he was such a player right now.
"Don't worry Calliope. He just hasn't found the right one yet."
"Yes he did. Don't you remember Karly? That boy was head over heels in love with her."
"Yeah, I was surprised when he brought her home to meet the fam, but she even lasted through our interrogation and the sibling night," Arizona reminisced.
"I want him to get back with her. I wish he would tell us what happened."
"He will, when he is ready. I think this is his way of avoiding it. His Mommy does the same thing."
"Yeah, yeah, but I finally ended up with my perfect woman."
"And so will he."
