Ariana was seated next to Alex with Melanie on her lap, the little girl playing her hair. Juliettee sat with her folded knees turned towards Ryan and her hands grasping his arm, attentively watching him. Crystal stood in the threshold of the chapel, next to her pregnant girlfriend. "Ready as I'll ever be," she grumbled. She shoved one hand into her suit's pocket while taking Waiola's in her other. She led the taller woman to the benches and seated herself with the rest of her family. She wanted Waiola sitting next to her for two reasons: one, she needed the emotional support, and two, Waiola was pregnant as f*ck and didn't need to be on her feet.
