Selena ducked into the ladies’ room, yet again. She was nervous to the point of paranoia: she was sure that the prosthesis were slipping, though every time she glanced down at herself, they appeared to be fine.

She checked under the stall doors for other wedding guests, making sure that she was completely alone. She hesitated, then locked the bathroom door from the inside. No way she wanted anyone catching her checking things under her dress. No way she was ready to tell anyone that she worked with what she’d decided to do. Not yet; maybe not ever.

Selena undid the zipper at the side of her flirty little dress that showed off her long, lean legs. She slid the straps off her toned shoulders, pulled the dress down to her waist. Now she was just in her bra from the waist up, and she bit her lip as she regarded the surprisingly – almost mockingly – sexy white lace bra. Yeah, everything looked fine.

She met her own eyes in the mirror, took a deep breath. Slowly, reluctantly, she slipped on

    “Mom?” Sean said suddenly.“Yeah, kiddo?”“Are you happy?”Startled, she stared over at her son. “Happy?”“Yeah.” He was gazing right on back at her, suddenly looking so much older and wiser than his ten years. “Are you?”“Yeah, sweetie, I am.” She felt troubled and puzzled at his question. “Why are you asking?”“Because.” He shrugged. “Because I want you to be happy.”“I am.”“You haven’t been, though. Not for a long time.”Startled again, she asked, “What do you mean?”“You haven’t been happy, Mom. I’ve seen it on your face.”She laughed now, surprised at having her ability to read faces turned back on her so decisively. “You can see that, huh?”“Yeah.”“OK, Sean. No lies between us: I haven’t been happy for a while. That’s true.”He nodded.“I’ve been worried about you and stressed at work… and Granny’s great, but in the end, lots of stuff falls on me alone.”“I know.”“But now I feel better at work, way more confident. You’re doing better, and I think the surgery the doctors are t

    At the wedding, Sully danced with his two women: Cordelia and Iris. The baby cooed between them, her tiny fist holding on to Sully’s stupidly-expensive tie. He didn’t even care that the small fingers were covered in drool.Cordelia glanced down. “She loves dancing, huh?”Sully held the baby closer to his chest. “She loves being held.”“Who doesn’t?”They shared a smile, and then he leaned down to kiss Cordelia. It was just a quick peck on the lips, light and easy, but she felt it all the way to her toes.“How’s your leg?” he asked. “You need to sit down yet?”“Yeah, in a few minutes. I’m OK.”He looked over at the table, spotted Sean shoveling more food into his mouth. “Wow. That kid can eat, huh?”“He’s a growing boy.” Cordelia poked his chest. “Don’t you remember those early years of your life? I bet you ate your parents out of house and home.”“I did,” Sully admitted. “I think Dad may have taken a second mortgage on the house to keep the fridge stocked.”“Well, there you go.”“So c

    Dallas held Olivia closer, loving how she felt in his arms. She was strong and fragile at the same time, and he thought holding her was like getting to touch a little piece of heaven.“You happy?” he asked her as they danced.“Deliriously,” she said. “Can’t you tell?”“I can,” he agreed. “You’re smiling like a crazy person.”She laughed. “Yeah, I just bet.”He kissed her, for about the thousandth time since the priest had declared them man and wife just two hours earlier. And she opened up to him, clutching his upper arms tightly, relishing his strength and warmth.“I love you, Mrs. Foreman,” he said as he smoothed her hair back from her forehead. “I’m going to love you until I take my dying breath.”“I love you too,” she said. “Forever. I promise.”“I’m going to hold you to that, you know,” he warned her. “The 'forever' part.”“Deal.” She kissed him, a sweet, lingering kiss that made him just want to sigh with happiness. “I don’t mind.”“Hey, Foreman.” Chris was standing there, grinn

    “So.” Nigel came over to Olivia and fussed with her dress. “You ready to do this, Liv?”“God, yes.”He grinned and offered her his arm. “Shall we?”She took it. “Damn right we shall.”They stood in the hallway outside the chapel, watching her friends and mother walk down the aisle. Olivia longed to peek in, but she forced herself to wait. She wanted her first look at Dallas to be when their eyes met and he saw her in her wedding dress.“OK, doll… here we go.” Nigel gave her one last look-over and nodded. “Perfect.”The bridal march started up, there was the sound of people standing and turning, feet scuffling on the floor. Olivia took a deep breath, glanced at Nigel.“Thank you for everything,” she said. “I couldn’t have done this without you.”“My pleasure.” He squeezed her hand. “I’ve loved every second of it.”They shared a smile and then as one, they turned and walked through the door.Right away, Liv’s eyes went to Dallas. There he was, somehow even bigger and broader than usual

    Two weeks later Olivia gazed at herself in the full-length mirror. Her mother stood on her one side, Emma on the other.“Honey.” Grace Jameson was beaming with love and pride. “You look gorgeous.”“You think so?”“Oh, my God, Liv.” Beth shook her head. “You’re stunning.”“It’s because you’re happy,” Jenny said quietly. “You’re marrying an amazing man in less than ten minutes… you’re glowing about that.”“I am.” Olivia turned to look at her friends. “He’s the best thing that ever happened to me – besides the four of you. You are the four strongest, most inspiring women I’ve ever known… I ever will know.”“You aren’t so bad yourself,” Emma said. “In the kicking-ass department, I mean.”Liv gently reached out and touched Emma’s swollen stomach. “You feeling OK to do this?”“You’re kidding, right?” Emma said. “I’ve given this kid a stern talking-to about not ruining Auntie Olivia’s wedding day. I think he’ll get with the program.”The women went stock-still, and Emma grinned, seeing that
