Hii again everyone. This is a sequel to 'The Past and The Present' which was formally known as '9 Whole Months Of Worry'. It took me a while to start this off but I only just came up with an idea for the sequel. The Past and The Present doesn't necessarily need to be read. I'm sure you can catch the drift of what happened by this chapter and later ones. But yeah, if you want to know everything I suggest reading it. No need, though.

ugh this is such a short chapter. I wanted this to be longer but I got everything I wanted in here. Review please!

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone. Meg Cabot does. I'd like to own Jesse though, if ya get what I mean.

It's my wedding day. I can't believe it! This day has finally arrived. It's been one whole year since Jesse asked me to take his hand in marriage in that hospital room. One whole year of planning and excitement and now the day has come. Finally.

I heard gasps of breath from my mom and CeeCee as I turned around to face them. "Oh wow, Susie…"

"Wow Suze! You look amazing!" gasped CeeCee. I grinned and admired myself in the mirror. My hair was up in a bun whilst I had loose bits hanging down, framing my face nicely.

"The dress is just…" my mom trailed off, lost for words.

"…Perfect" CeeCee finished. She squealed and helped me straighten down the ends of the dress. It was a strapless dress that captured my figure amazingly. My boobs looked bigger, my waist looked smaller and it screamed the word 'Bride'. And that's what I was, a bride. Jesse's bride.

"How are you feeling, honey?" asked my mom, she hugged me tightly. Almost as if she never wanted to let me go.

"So nervous I might cry" I say with a laugh "no, I'm okay, I am nervous but I know this is right, I want to spend the rest of my life with him" I grin at CeeCee.

"He's so good to you Suze, I wish Adam would treat me like that" she sighed and patted her lilac bridesmaid outfit. I made sure that CeeCee looked gorgeous too, I wasn't one of those girls who make sure their bridesmaids look a lot worse than them.

"Jesse's just old fashioned, that's all. Adam loves you and that's what's important" I walk towards CeeCee and give her a hug. I check the clock on the wall. Not long now until I'm going to be Jesse's wife. Mrs Suze De Silva-Simon. It sounded so…right.

"Suze!" said Gina, she just walked in, dressed in her own lilac bridesmaid outfit "Jesse is so fine, you're lucky to get someone like him"

"Thanks a lot!" I teased "you saying I deserve someone less handsome?"

Gina grinned "Yeah, pretty much" this caused me to stride over (as elegantly as I could in this dress) and whack her playfully on the arm "I'm only kidding, you know that, I'm so happy for you" she gave me a great big hug.

I was just overwhelmed with happiness. I mean, it took Jesse and I a really long time after losing the baby but we knew we could start a family in the future. It took many nights of tears just to get me to accept that our baby was gone but now I felt a reached a stage when I was willing to try and move on. Not that I will ever forget our baby. But I knew that this wedding was the beginning of something.

"Come on Sweetie, it's time to get you down that aisle!" my mom said, bustling over to me and giving me a slight push towards the door.

"Oh, God" I say, nervous. "What if I trip or something? That'll be the most embarrassing thing that could ever happen to me"

"You won't trip, chill out, this is the most happiest day of your life, remember that" CeeCee said, following me out the door. She kept quiet once we started walking down the aisle.

Rows and rows of heads turned to look at me, most were smiling, some were even crying! All my worries had suddenly disappeared, CeeCee was right. I was marrying the man of my dreams. The man who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. I wasn't going to ruin it with my worries.

I could barely contain my excitement once I noticed the back of a handsome man in a suit at the bottom of the aisle. Jesse. My Jesse. He hadn't yet turned to look at me. I graciously looked at everyone and smiled. I had finally reached the end.

I had made it through that long walk. Jesse still wasn't looking at me! Look at me, Jesse! This is your bride here, take a look at me!

Wait.

This guy…it wasn't Jesse. Oh, my God.

It was Paul.
