~Chapter 1
“Cecilia! Wake up!” Irina called.
I sat up in my bed. “What time is it?” I asked. I looked sleepily around the room, trying to find my alarm clock, which I had thrown somewhere earlier that morning.
“11:30,” Irina said.
“What!” I exclaimed, suddenly awake. “You were supposed to wake me up at nine!”
“Yeah, well, can you forgive me for sleeping late for once?” Irina said as she walked over to my bed. I didn’t hear her, though, because I had gotten out of bed to look for my dress. I opened the closet door, and started throwing things around, trying to find the garment bag.
“Will you calm down? We don’t have to be to the rehearsal until 1:15.”
“Yeah, but it’s a 90-minute drive with mild traffic. And we’re supposed to be there early! And I still need to get ready!”
It was rehearsal for Sydney and Vaughn’s wedding. They had announced their engagement last November, after Irina had been discharged from the hospital. Now it was November again. Irina and I had traveled to Ireland for the wedding. We had already spent a week there.
I found the dress hanging in the back of the closet. It was pale blue, with a strapless top and slim skirt. It was rather plain, but I didn’t mind. I was just excited that Sydney had picked me to be her maid of honor.
I laid the dress on the bed. “Did you order breakfast?” I asked.
Irina nodded, pointing to a table in the corner, where a tray of food sat. I picked up a piece of toast and ate quickly. I wiped the crumbs off my face and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then I took my dress and changed in the bathroom. I pulled on my shoes and brushed my hair.
“Ok, let’s go.”
Irina and I walked out of the hotel room and down the stairs to the parking lot. She was dressed in a black dress. We got into the car and drove off.
I looked out the window. Ireland was beautiful, with its rolling green hills and numerous castles. Sydney had wanted her wedding to be here, and Vaughn had agreed, though he wanted the wedding to be in Paris. But, he said, he didn’t want to start a fight with his bride-to-be.
We arrived at the church five minutes early. Before the car had even stopped, I was out the door and running to meet Sydney and Vaughn, who waiting by the front door of the church. I hugged Sydney and Vaughn at the same time.
“Hi,” I said.
“Hi,” answered together.
Irina came up behind me. “Learn to walk like a civilized person, Cecilia,” she said, but smiled.
“But it’s Sydney and Michael, Mom! I haven’t seen them since April!” I said, rolling my eyes. I turned back to Sydney and Vaughn. “So what’s this surprise I’ve been waiting all this time for?”
They smiled at each other. I took in the sight of them, the two lovers standing together. They were turned to face each other.
“Sydney!” I cried. “You’re pregnant!” She smiled and nodded, looking down at her bulging stomach. I hugged her again. “That’s wonderful, oh, I didn’t even notice!”
Vaughn was hugging Irina. She was staring past him, at the church.
“Mom?” Sydney asked. “Are you okay?”
Irina shook her head slightly and blinked. “Yeah…yeah,” she said, smiling at Sydney. “That’s wonderful, honey, congratulations.”
Sydney beamed. “Let’s go in now; we can wait inside for everyone else to come.”
So we went in, with Irina still in a sort of daze.

This first chapter was kind of short, only because it's a really short story! If you want me to update, I will, probably on Sunday because I'm going on vacation.
