With A Little Help From My Friends

Summary: When at 16 Stacey Mcgill became a well-known teenage actress, she would have never predicted how much her life would change. Now 6 years older at 22 years old, She has a gorgeous, sensitive, caring husband and has two children. Chloe & Caitlin. Suddenly though tragedy strikes, and keeps on striking. Stacey realised she shouldn't of let her friends drift apart from her especially now with tragedies striking more often than usual.

Stacey Williams felt a small smile tug at her lips as she looked in the mirror at her outfit for the wedding.

It was a beautiful long print flowered dress with pink's and lilacs, she wore beautiful lilac shoes. And simple tiny silver hoops in her ears. Her long blonde hair was straightened and shone.

'Wow' said a husky voice.

Stacey laughed, as Bradley her husband of three years puts his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek.

'You look stunning, you know it's not fair to look better than the bride' Stacey smiled at her husband in the mirror.

She turned to face him softly kissing her back on the cheek.

'Believe me Brad, no- one will look as stunning as Jenna looks today'

'Where is the blushing bride then?'

'Playing with Chloe'

'Shouldn't she be getting ready?'

'Yes, she should but she said when you go down she'll come up'

'So does that mean we have time for...' Brad asked with a huge grin and a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

'No' Stacey said laughing ' anyway I thought you'd be exhausted as we were both up all night with Caitlin'

'Hey, I'm never tired for a bit of loving' he said laughing

'You're too much Bradley Williams'

'Only because you drive me wild'

Stacey laughed, and Brad kissed her on the lips and their kiss became long and passionate

'Daddy, can I put on my pretty dress now?' a small voice asked

Stacey and Brad pulled away, red-faced.

'Sure, sweetheart' Brad answered. He began to walk Chloe to her pink princess room.

Suddenly a small cry arose from a room down the hall.

' I'll get her' Stacey announced.

Mid-day nap was over now. Stacey thought with a yawn. At least Caitlin could sleep whenever she wanted.

Stacey walked in to the darkened room.

She admired the room with great satisfaction. It was just too perfect. She thought with a smile.

It was a Jenny the giraffe design. Basically pale yellow's and greens. And Stacey adored the room.

She picked her beautiful baby girl up. Caitlin carried on crying until she felt safe in her mother's arms.

There was nothing compared to a mother's love, she felt.

She saw her friend walk in.

'Hey, I thought I could hear her' she whispered

Stacey smiled. 'She likes to make her presence known'

'I can't wait till I have one of those' Jenna said softly

'Well know you're married, you settle in a huge mansion, like we have and start having hundreds of kids' Stacey said laughing

Jenna smiled. 'I think I want to carry on releasing some albums before a junior comes along'

'Fair enough' Stacey said

She went over to the changing table and changed Caitlin's nappy.

'Anyway, I just wanted to know if you could help me with the dress' Jenna asked softly

'Oh, I'd love too' Stacey said smiling 'I'll ask Brad to watch the girls and I'll come over to your room, Okay?'

'Yeah, see you in a minute' Jenna said with a twinkle in her eye.

Stacey sighed softly.

Today was going to be a perfect day for Jenna.

'You look amazing' Stacey said stunned

'I know' Jenna said tears slowly running down her cheeks

'Jeff isn't going to know what hit him, nobody will' Stacey said

'It's just perfect isn't it' Jenna said staring into the three-way mirror.

Jenna's black hair was in tiny curls that flowed down her back, a beautiful simple red rose was clipped into her hair. She wore her family diamond earrings, heirloom that'd been passed down to the women through the years. And beautiful, simple silver necklace hung just below her white strapless dress that flowed to the floor. Little tiny red roses covered the dress, and she wore red tiny shoes.

There was a knock on the door.

'Decent' Brad asked

Stacey laughed

'Come in'

Jenna burst into fresh tears, as did Stacey at the sight of what they both saw.

Chloe had her blonde hair-curled jut like the brides, with a little white rose in her hair. She wore a beautiful red dress, the exact colours as the roses, on Jenna's dress. With a white sash finished with a bow at the back. She wore little red shoes.

'Do I look okay, Auntie Jenna?' Chloe asked sweetly

'You look better than me' Jenna croaked out through her happy tears

'Thankyou' Chloe said politely.

'Mommy, can I have some make-up on please' Chloe asked Stacey

'You can have some lipgloss, and mascara and that's it sweetheart' Stacey told her daughter.

'Okay, thank-you mommy'

An hour later, the congregation had assembled into the church. Candles flickered every where. And the handsome groom waited nervously for the arrival of his beautiful bride. Stacey walked quickly down the aisle. Jeff looked over at her. Stacey winked, and gave him the thumbs-up. Jeff grinned. Suddenly the ceremony started.

Chloe came down the aisle. With a timid smile on her face.

And then Brad & Jenna came walking down the aisle, smiling from ear- to ear.

Both looked magnificent.

When the got to the end of the aisle. Brad handed Jenna to Jeff.

'Take good care of my sister' he said softly.

Brad sat down with Stacey and kissed her on the lips.

It was almost 15 hours later. One o'clock in the morning. When Stacey & Bradley walked in to the mansion. The babysitter walked out of the kitchen and smiled.

'Good, time?' she asked

'Fan-tastic' Stacey grinned as she paid the babysitter

'Glad to hear it' the babysitter grinned

Brad thanked the baby-sitter and swayed upstairs to the bedroom.

The babysitter & Stacey chatted a while longer, they were good friends.

A while later.

Stacey flopped onto the sofa in the main living room beyond exhausted.

She saw the family portrait taken exactly eleven days after Caitlin was born.

Perfect, a picture perfect family.

Picture perfect friends.

Picture perfect life.

Right now it seemed like Stacey's life couldn't go wrong
