put on a sock puppet show. He also didn't see a reason for Emily to make it up.
The conversations were lively throughout the room. Everyone had a drink in their
hands. William spotted his father talking to Willow's new in- laws by the bar.
The door opened and everyone quieted down as the wedding party arrived, led by
Willow and her husband Jeremy. They tried to greet the guests as they passed them.
Willow spotted William and Emily, then walked toward them.
“Thank you so much for doing my makeup this morning,” she told her sister-in-law,
giving her a hug. “Everyone's been telling me how beautiful I look.”
Emily smiled. “You're welcome, sis. But it's not the makeup. You are beautiful.”
“You look beautiful too. You have an amazing glow,” she told Emily. She took a step
back and placed both hands on Emily's stomach. “And I can't wait to meet my niece,
Sasha.”
“She can't wait to meet you,” Emily responded. “And start getting spoiled.”
William shook his new brother's hand and hugged his sister.
“It was a great ceremony,” he told his sister. “I can’t believe how much Dad cried
during it.”
Willow laughed. “I know, I wasn't expecting that either!”
“Well, I think my mother cried about ten gallons worth of tears,” Jeremy added.
“I think the floor of the church is still wet,” Willow said, giggling.
“Well, I guess I'm supposed to welcome you to the family, Jeremy,” William started.
“And as Willow's big brother, I should warn you—”
“That Willow's big brother is a pussy cat and if you hurt her, you should be more
scared of Willow than me,” Willow interjected.
“Exactly,” William said, looking around to find the waiter.
“And how excited are you for the baby?” Willow asked.
