Trust The Devil (The Devil's Riders Book 3) by Joanna Blake (17)

Chapter 36

Sally

Two years later

Sally strummed her guitar and prepared to play the wedding march. Well, as well as she could with her swollen belly getting in the way. She sighed dreamily, knowing she was going to start crying soon. The baby made her do that a lot.

She liked watching her wedding ring sparkle as her fingers danced over the strings. It still felt new to her, even though they’d gotten married a year and a half ago.

She had never known she could be this happy.

She looked up and saw Donnie watching her from the front row. He was on the groom’s side with the rest of the Spawns. Sally had joked that she was going to sit on Kaylie’s side during the ceremony.

He had not found that amusing.

The church was packed. It was full of bikers and regular folk, all in their Sunday best. Which for the bikers meant… well, it was still a lot of leather.

Any minute now Kaylie would be walking through that door in a white dress. She had made Devlin wait after all. Funny that Sally had beat her to the alter.

Sally wasn't the only one.

She looked around the church and picked out the large man with wild dark hair holding two squirming toddlers. One adorable little girl with bright red hair was under one enormous arm and an equally adorable little boy with dark hair was tucked under the other.

Janet had gotten pregnant around the time everything happened. When Donnie rescued her. Of course, when he told the story, it was her rescuing him.

Sally blinked, the tears threatening to fall again. She was feeling so emotional. She started to thrum and watched Jack watch Janet as she appeared in open church doorway.

Sigh.

Jack was staring slack jawed at his wife as she walked down the aisle. Sally didn’t blame him. Janet was a beautiful bridesmaid in a long soft blue silk dress.

It was a good thing too since none of them had gotten a chance to see Janet in her wedding dress. In fact, no one had known about their wedding until after the fact.

That was mostly just because they had snuck off to Vegas almost two years ago. Less than three months later Janet had announced she was pregnant. She was the first of them to give birth, but she definitely would not be the last.

Sally had a feeling there were lots of babies on the way. Not just her own.

Sally loved those kids. Good thing too, since she was their God Mother along with Kaylie. They'd broken with tradition and given the twins two of each. Two God Mothers and two God Fathers.

They really were a family now.

Mae was there, already in tears. In true form she was wearing a bright purple dress and an enormous hat. Her niece Becky sat beside her.

She worked regularly at Mae's now that Sally was back to singing full time. Well, she had been performing before 'the bump' came along.

She smiled when she noticed that Whisky Beard was staring longingly at Becky again. He looked miserable. Just like he always did when he stared at the pretty young girl.

Becky was just out of high school and fiercely independent. She was not the sort to let a man tell her what to do, even if she had confessed to Sally that she thought Mike was ‘really cute.’

Sally almost laughed. And so it goes…

The church grew quiet as the doors finally opened. Sally began playing her march as Kaylie drifted down the aisle in a simple white strapless dress that hugged her enviable figure like a glove. The soft white offset her golden coloring to perfection.

She looked like a fairytale princess, but not a haughty one. A real one. The wreath of tiny white daisies in her hair completed the picture. Kaylie's mother was the one walking her down the aisle in a pretty dark blue dress and jacket.

Mrs. Thomas squeezed her daughters hand and went to sit in the front row.

Tears filled Sally's eyes again as Devlin and Kaylie held hands and faced the preacher. She knew first hand how much this meant to them.

Especially poor Devlin who had been chomping gat the bit to marry Kaylie for years by now. Even longer, if you considered how long he’d had to wait to even date her. It was adorable how eager he was. He’d even gotten Jack and Donnie to help renovate his house over the past year, so everything would be perfect when Kaylie finally moved in.

Sally had a feeling Devlin was going to keep Kaylie home, and in bed, as much as possible for the next few months. She smiled softly to herself, knowing that Kaylie would be the next to fall pregnant, whether she knew it or not.

"Do you, Devlin McRae, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold until death do you part?"

Devlin's voice was clear and strong as he answered.

"I do."

"And do you Kaylie Thomas, take this man to be your husband, to have and to hold until death do you part?"

"I do."

"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride!"

And he did.
