~Mikey’s POV~
The priest got through all the boring beginning stuff that no one wants to hear so I’ll skip to the part just after Leila, Frank and Gerard left…
“Mikey, I’ve known you for a while now through your brother and I fell in love the moment I laid my eyes on you. Words cannot describe how truly amazing you are and how much I love you so I bought you these,” he said and a blush rose on my cheeks. He caught a bunch of flowers and he handed them to me. They were red roses, the flower he gave to me on our first date.
“Aww baby; I love you so much,” I said, squeezing his hands a little and he smiled at me.
“Right… here we go,” I started as few tears rolled down my face. “When I first met you, I wasn’t sure whether we’d last but after our first date, I knew for certain that we would get married and maybe adopt a couple kids. I bought you something too,” I said, wiping my eyes. My mom threw me a box and I caught it with ease. I handed it to Ray and watched him open it.
“Oh my God Mikes! You’re amazing!” Ray said and threw his arms around me.
I shall again skip the boring parts that no one wants to hear…
“You may now kiss,” the priest said and Ray dipped me and crashed his lips to mine.
Rounds of applause filled our ears and as we pulled away from each other, Ray whispered in my ear. “I love you Michael James Way,”
I smiled, “I love you too Raymond Toro,” we linked hands and we walked down the aisle.
Mom told everyone to go to the reception and we would be there as soon as we could. Ray and I sped down to the hospital to see how Frank and Leila were doing.
“Hi; we’re here to see Leila and Frank Iero,” Ray said to the receptionist and she typed something on her computer.
“Relation?” She asked, popping some gum.
“We’re…” I said, going to tell the truth when Ray interrupted.
“Her brothers; we were at her wedding and she told us to meet her here as soon as we could,” Ray said and I breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
“She’s in room 24; go ahead,” she said, pointing to the left corridor and we ran down that until we reached room 24.
Entering the room, we heard soft cries cooing sounds to quieten the baby. Ray sat down on one of the chairs and I sat on the other while Frank was rocking their baby.
“Hey! Congratulations Frank!” I whispered so as not to disturb Leila as she was peacefully sleeping.
“Thanks; wanna hold her?” he asked as the baby in his arms started gurgling.
“Sure! What’s her name?” Ray asked Frank as his daughter was handed to me.
“Alexa Rose. Alexa Rose Iero,” he said, grinning, clearly full of happiness and joy seeing as Alexa is his first child.
“She’s so cute,” Ray whispered, reaching over to give her one of his fingers to hold on to.
“She looks so like you both,” I complemented and Frank smiled wider – if it was possible!
Ray held her afterwards but eventually, we had to go to our reception. By this time, Frank and Leila could come with us but Alexa had to stay at the hospital overnight, just to ensure that she was okay, seeing as she was 2 months premature.
I drove us to our reception and we all walked inside. Our parents looked over to the doorway in which we were standing in and started to clap. Seconds later, everyone in the room, including Gerard and Leila’s parents were looking at us and clapping.
The four of us linked arms and strutted to our table. When we were half way there, Gerard came and joined in, shaking his hips and just being genuinely over-dramatic. Once myself, Ray, Frank and Leila were sat down, Gerard stood in front of our table, facing everyone else and put one hand on his hip and the other in the air with his hand bent over. He bent one leg and put his weight on the other so he was basically posing like Beyoncé. We all laughed as he strutted back to his seat, shaking his butt as he walked.
“Love the sassiness Gee-Bear!” Leila shouted and winked at him playfully, earning a gentle punch on the arm from her husband.
He turned his head so his chin was on his right shoulder. “Any time sugar,” he yelled back and he blew Leila a kiss, making both him and Leila blush a bright shade of crimson.
