'Cause Now I Know It's All That I Wanted, chapter 15
"Ok, so we're going with the whole theme thing, and we're going to have it on Halloween?" Mike asked me. I nodded and got up from the bed and stretched at Mike stared at me.
"What?" I laughed.
"How do you manage to look so sexy in pajamas?" he asked while holding me.
"Same as you," I giggled.
"Ok, we can't lollygag all day, we have to go shopping!"
"You actually want to go shopping?"
He looked at me for a while and broke out into a smile, what was he up to? He made his wrist limp and put on a lisp, "What are you trying to say?"
I started to laugh, "Nothing," I giggled.
"Like I can't be," he snapped his fingers, "fabulous!"
My mouth just hung open and I shot out of the room with him chasing after me. He was trying so hard to grab at me but his home was so huge that I had many places to run into. I ran into the bathroom and locked it as he banged on the door.
"Come on India let me in!" he begged. I just laughed. I heard the front door open and Mike walking away. I waited until I thought it was safe and poked my head out. I heard the hushed whispers of Billie Joe and Mike. I got closer to the stairs until I could hear them.
"You're kidding right?" I heard Billie Joe ask.
"No, I'm not, it'll be a nice surprise for her."
"Wow Mike, that's just, wow."
"I thought you might think so."
"So, what are you doing today?"
"We're going shopping for all kinds of wedding stuff."
"What's the date?"
"October 31st, Halloween."
"Where did you think of that?"
"I don't know honestly, just came to me."
"Would it be cool if I tagged along, Adie and me aren't doing our best."
"Of course Billie, but you need to help me make her come out of the bathroom."
"What the heck is she doing in the bathroom?"
"I'm not doing anything in the bathroom," I taunted.
"You decided to join me huh?" Mike joked while putting his arm around my shoulders.
"I have to get changed, Billie are you coming with us?" I said it as though it wasn't an invitation, it was an order. He nodded and smiled and I went upstairs and changed.

"What about this?" the dress lady asked us, let's call her Jane? She held up a dress with lots of ruffles, I didn't like it.
"Too many ruffles."
I could tell she was trying hard to match the dress to the one in the movie. I tried on a dress that didn't seemed to be close, but I'll be a good sport. I tried it on and walked out, Mike and Billie Joe looked at the picture then me, and shook their heads.
We did this for about 10 different dresses. Finally I just went and looked around myself until I found one that seemed to be as close as I'll probably get and smiled. I went into the dressing room while winking at Mike. They both seemed to be kind of bored so this better be the one. I tried it on and looked in the mirror, this is the one. I walked out, Mike and Billie Joe's jaws dropped as I spun around. Billie Joe stood up and smiled at me.
"Look at you," he said while spinning me around with his hand.
"It's perfect," Mike smiled at me. I couldn't stop smiling, my wedding dress, this was it.
"It's too much white, come on, let's go somewhere else," I said while walking out.
"All right, cool," Mike, said while following me.
"Are we going to get the tuxedo's or something?" Billie asked.
"Well we got the dress, what do you want to do?' I asked.
"You go and look at like cakes and stuff while me and Billie go and look at the tuxedos," Mike suggested.
"Ok, we'll meet back here in... 3 hours ok?" I asked. They nodded and trotted to the tuxedo shop. I walked around the bakery, the heavenly aromas overwhelmed me.
"Can I help you with something?" the man behind the counter asked while wiping his hands on a rag.
"Do you do wedding cakes?" I asked.
"Yes we do, what kind would you be interested in?"
One cakes caught my eye, it had chocolate icing and red roses, probably the closest I'll get to the theme I want. I heard someone walk behind me and seem to breath down my neck. I turned around to see Billie Joe, waiting for me to freak out.
"Hey Billie," I smiled at him. He snapped his fingers in frustration.
"You obviously can't trick me," I smiled.
"Why aren't you with Mike getting your tuxedo and stuff."
"Because Mike went else where to get you something, I honestly don't know what so I found you here and decided to try and scare you but that obviously didn't work."
"Cool, what do you think of that wedding cake?" I asked him while pointing at the one I wanted.
"It looks cool, it fits in with your whole theme thing so I think it'll be cool," he said. I told the guy behind the counter and I told him the date of the wedding. He just put in the order and I walked out, that was easy. I saw Mike and gave him a kiss while he handed me a box.
"Something to go with the theme," he smiled. I opened it to find jewel hair barrettes, like the ones in the movie.
"You amaze me Mike Dirnt," I said while he leaned in and kissed me. I smiled and kissed him back.
"Ok, I've had enough shopping for today, now to find a place to actually have it held," I said while looking around.
"I liked where Billie and Adie had their wedding, let's do that," Mike replied.
"Ok then, let's do that I guess."
"Cool, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm just hungry and I get kind of testy when I'm hungry."
"Then let's get some food."
"Cool," I said, I didn't feel too good, maybe it was because I didn't have any food. I sat down and ate dinner then went to bed since my stomach hurt, a lot.
***
I woke up on the bed, not feeling too good. I got to the bathroom and puked. This wasn't good, it was a month until my wedding, why couldn't it just wait until then!? I was late and I just decided to ignore it until now. I flushed and started to sob while wiping my mouth.
"Mike!" I yelled out. He was there about a second later, at the sight of me sobbing, he instantly got worried.
"What? What happened?" he asked me.
"I'm late."
His face read supreme shock and he just paced the bathroom biting his nails.
"I'll get a pregnancy test, just wait here," he said. I decided to keep my mouth shut and just nodded and he ran out.
He came back and gave it to me, I shut the door. It said to wait ten minutes until it said the correct response.
Ten minutes had past and I looked at the test, as clear as day, it said 'pregnant.' I walked out of the bathroom and Mike looked at me.
"Get ready to be a dad," I said to him. He didn't know whether to stay sober or smile, I could tell he was holding it back.
"I'm gonna be a mom," I said while holding back tears of joy.
"This is one of the happiest days of my life," I said while hugging Mike. He let out a smile and hugged me back while kissing me.
"One thing," I said. He looked at me with curious eyes, "my dad," I said.
"He'll be ok with it, we'll invite everyone for dinner somewhere and we'll tell them there. Don't worry India, everything will be ok."
"What?" I laughed.
"How do you manage to look so sexy in pajamas?" he asked while holding me.
"Same as you," I giggled.
"Ok, we can't lollygag all day, we have to go shopping!"
"You actually want to go shopping?"
