Chapter One: A Moment Like This
Lena, in her baby blue gown toddles down the aisle of the church with Chloe on her heels. The little girls smiling and laughing as they walk down the aisle. Then walks Clare's wedding party.
"I don't think I can go through with this." Clare says panicking. She waves her hand in front of her made-up face. Peter, her brother-in-law, tries to calm her down.
"Clare, come on. This is what you wanted. This is your wedding day." he says.
"I know…but I….I just….I don't know….I need….I need air." she walks to the front door and steps outside.
Inside the church the wedding march starts, but Peter walks in and tells the piano player to stop.
Darcy walks out of the church and goes over to Clare. "What's wrong?" she asks her sister.
Clare turns to her, teary eyed, "Darce…"
"Clare, come on…it's your wedding. I was nervous then too. Come on. Let's go inside."
"But, Darce, I don't know about this."
"Clare, you love Drew?"
The seventeen year old nods.
"Then what's stopping you? Hon, everyone is in there, waiting for you. It's your wedding day. Don't overanalyze this. Live in the moment. Not to sound geeky, but Carpe Diem! Come on. Get your ass in the chapel or I will drag you in there." Her sister smiles to her and holds out her hand. Clare takes it in her own and uses her free hand to hike up the ivory pick up skirt. They walk into the lobby and Darcy goes back into the church nodding to the pianist to begin playing again. Peter looks to Clare.
"Ready?" he asks offering her his hand.
"More than." she smiles and rests her hand on his arm.
The march rings high in the church as Clare, escorted by Peter, walks down the aisle towards Drew. Behind him stands KC, Declan, Adam, and even Eli has a place there. Clare and Peter stop at the front and Peter kisses her cheek before sitting down. Behind Clare stands Darcy, Alli, Mia, Fiona, Jenna, and Holly J.
After the I do's they journey back to Above the Dot, which has become their spot, for the party.
After a few songs the DJ announces it's time for the first dance.
The song "A Moment Like This." echoes through the place.
Then Clare kisses Drew before going to the mic.
"Hi everybody. Thank you for coming to my wedding. So, by now all of you have heard Drew sing; twice as a matter of fact, both times for me. But, I've never sung anything for him, until now. Drew, I love you…
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've
Never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
I'm closer than I've ever felt before
And I know
And you know
There's no need for words right now
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way."
The crowd claps and Drew walks onto the stage and pulls Clare into a passionate kiss.
