Both Tina and I aced our finals, I passed my licensing exam and a great deal of stress was lifted from me. In a weeks time, I would be a doctor and a wife. I was woken by her soft hand rubbing my cheek.

”Good morning Dr. Porter.”

”Good morning soon to be Mrs. Kennard-Porter,” I said and she smiled and kissed me, ”do you think I should change my license to say Kennard-Porter?”

”Only if you want to babe,” she said kissing my nose and got up.

”I will,” I said rising as well, we walked to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

”We are taking vows and I am promising my life and loyalty to you. I think when I introduce myself I should say Dr. Kennard-Porter.”

”Oh, I like that,” she said, a sly, lustful smile formed, ”well, doctor, I was wondering if I needed an appointment for a physical.”

”Well, Miss. Kennard, I think I could squeeze you in,” I said and she smiled and hopping onto the counter and she wrapped her legs around me.

”Oh, I like the sound of that.”

”Baby, as much as I would enjoy to fuck you all day, Angus will be here any minute with Jackson,” I said just as we heard the front door open.

Tina hopped off the counter just as Jackson rounded the corner and jumped on Tina. She smiled her ”we’ll finish this later” smile and Jackson rattled off all the things he learned at the children’s learning center. We had hired Angus and he’d been tutoring Jackson a couple days out of the week and had been helping us with Jackson by picking him up from school, and watching him until we got home. He was more of a nanny than anything and he was becoming sort of a member of our family.

Time flew by and soon, I had graduated and we were a few hours away from our wedding day. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I was terrified. I couldn’t eat and I could barely sleep. We agreed to a traditional wedding and we were spending the eve of our wedding night apart.

”Babe, I’m only a few rooms down, don’t be upset.”

”I know! This is so stupid, I don’t even know why I’m crying!”

”Then stay with me, we don’t have to spend the night apart.”

”No Bette, it’s tradition, we can’t see each other before we’re married,” she whined and I smiled.

”I know we’ve never spent a night apart since we got together. But we’re getting married tomorrow and after that, we’ll never be apart. You’re kinda stuck with me.”

She smiled and I laughed. I kissed her and I walked her to her room. She was staying with Alice, and Shane and Jackson were staying with me. Jackson and I fell asleep watching a movie and I dreamed of the events of tomorrow. It was going to be the best day of my life, finally, I would have everything I’d ever wanted.
