Hayley woke up the morning of her wedding at a suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. All she could think of was sex and wanting to be fucked.

Daniela woke up very early the morning of Daniela's wedding with a pain in her lower back. She ignored it.

Matthew woke up the morning of his daughter's wedding thinking about fucking his daughter later that night.

***

At their apartment, Jake was also feeling very horny. He missed Hayley and couldn't wait to get this day and this night over.

Brandon arrived and saw Jake's state. "How are you doing, Jake?"

"I'm fine, a little edgy" Jake said putting on his pants.

Brandon and the rest of the Cassidy's both male and female were warned not to indulge in any sexual activities with Jake or Hayley until later that night.

Daniel and Jonah arrived next, followed by Jake's best man, his brother Nate. They were all ready to leave for the church in the white Maybach Landaulet limousine. Jake's legs were shaking as he sat in the car for the half an hour ride up to St. Bart's church. He was nervous, but not because of the wedding, but because of what would happen after.

The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. There were no runners allowed in the church due to the cobblestone floors, but in every other way, the church was superb.

Hayley was just getting into her wedding dress. Her hair and makeup were expertly done and her dress was a dropped waist, hand embroidered crystal and silk bodice with a tulle exaggerated couture skirt. As Matthew entered the room, his breathe caught and a tear sprang into his eyes. Hayley looked more beautiful than he had ever seen her.

As Matthew watched, the finishing touches were added; Jake's mother's veil matched perfectly with her dress and Helen's tiara was the final piéce de resistance.

Hayley gazed expectantly at her parents for their approval. Helen blotted the tears from her eyes so as not to smear her make-up. She went to Hayley and kissed her cheek. "You look absolutely stunning my darling daughter."

Matthew stared at Hayley speechless, but his dick was rising at the thought that he would be the one to take that dress off her body.

***

Security at the church was tight. The First Lady of the Land, Katherine Adams arrived with the President's chief of staff, Michael Worthington and his husband Eric and the secret service. There were busses waiting outside the church to take most of the guests to the reception in Long Island.

Jake arrived at the church and was taken through a side entrance to a small room where he could gather his nerves and have some water. Nate put his arm around his brother. "It's almost over and you'll be a married man."

Jake smiled. Henry entered the room. Jake stood and embraced his dad, "Well son, the day has arrived. I'm sure you can't wait to meet your bride at the altar. Hayley is a wonderful glad and we are proud to welcome her to the family."

Jake hugged his father again and he agreed that Hayley was indeed wonderful.

***

Collin and his team were ready. Helen was spirited across the street to the church. Nate walked her to her seat as Jonah walked Susan to hers. The church was packed. There were celebrities, friends and family the rich and the not so rich. Monica Casey was there as was Hugh Jackman and his wife; Several Senators, the Mayor of New York and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg and several Supreme Court Justices. Stephanie Stone and Anna Stone were there, Brian was not, he was at Bitzy's mansion with his staff preparing the dinner. Miriam was in attendance, but her husband Lance was at home because he was banned. He asked her to take lots of pictures.

Frederick was there along with Marvina. Most of the entire Cassidy clan had descended from every part of the world. Blake and Valentina Black were sitting next to Lady Chadwell who congratulated them on their marriage. Lord and Lady Chadwell were sitting with Mason who couldn't wait to see Daniela in her bridesmaid's dress.

Jake had asked Mason to be groomsmen, but he declined. He was concerned about Daniela and wanted to ensure that if they had to leave he could just take her without any notice. He was worried they would be so far away from the hospital out in Long Island, but Dr. Heart was in attendance so Mason felt better.

***

Collin moved Hayley onto the private elevator at the Waldorf towers with her bridesmaids. His staff was waiting downstairs along with security who would escort Hayley into the church. Hayley insisted on going through the front door. She knew there were crowds outside waiting to see her dress and she was going to allow them.

The sky outside was beautiful. It was as if the heavens wanted this to be the perfect July day for Hayley's wedding. It was a crisp 75 degrees and a light breeze was blowing.

Film crews waited outside as did throngs of people wanting to catch a glimpse of the bride. They started applauding as Hayley walked across the street. Collins staff held her dress and train. The Cassidy's were paying the city for the added police security. The Police Captain and one other police officer received a kiss on the cheek from the bride who thanked them for keeping her safe.

Film crews and paparazzi took photos. A young girl about seven got through the barricade and handed Hayley a rose. She handed it to Collin and asked him to put it in her bouquet. Hayley walked up the steps to the front door of the church. She stopped and turned around. A light breeze blew and the sun hit her in just the right spot, the photographer who took the photo sold it to every newspaper in the country. The headline on the Daily News read, "Angelic Heiress on Her Wedding Day."

The photo made Hayley look like a beautiful angel. At the Vatican prayers were said for her soul; prayers of thanksgiving for her sacrifice. At the White House, the vice president was still upset over the question mark. He looked at it nearly every day hoping it would disappear. The President took some time from his day to watch the feed from the wedding. He grinned as he saw his wife.

The front doors of the church were closed the inner doors were also closed. Jake was informed that his bride had arrived. The Reverend Forbes Mansfield who had christened Hayley was standing at the top of the altar waiting for her.

The door opened and the bridesmaids walked down the aisle. Daniela looked lovely in her silver gown as she walked down the aisle with her bouquet of lilacs, roses and lily of the valley. She looked regal in her maternity gown, her burgeoning belly protruding in front. Samantha followed her and she winked at Brandon as she made it to the front of the altar.

The rest of the bridesmaids followed; Mary, Denise, Quinn and 3 of Hayley's friends from college.

Finally, the wedding march played and the doors opened to reveal Hayley standing down the aisle a radiant expression on her veiled face, holding on to her father's arm. Matthew whispered to her, "Ready?"

Hayley nodded, "I can't wait." And they began their trip down the aisle.

In an unplanned move, Jake met them halfway down the aisle and Matthew, a little reluctantly put her hand in Jake's as Matthew lifted her veil and kissed her cheek. Her father settled the veil back on Hayley's face and Jake led her the rest of the way down the aisle. Matthew went to sit beside Helen in the front row, tears streaming down his face. Helen handed him a handkerchief.

The Reverend read the vows and then Jake and Hayley each had something to say to each other.

"Hayley, I have loved you for a very long time. We've been through a great many things together, but our love has remained strong. I'm looking for many happy years together. I just hope that when my time comes, that I go before you because I could not live my life without you in it." Jake said.

Hayley was teary eyed and a bit nervous as she said to Jake, "My entire life was missing something or should I say someone, my life was missing you. I've had much joy since I met you and I've found myself and the woman I am. I never thought I would ever meet someone as caring, considerate and loving as you. You are my world. Your family has welcomed me with open arms and I especially am grateful to your sister, Mary for introducing us. She is now my sister and I am very happy. I love you."

The Reverend Mansfield blessed the rings; hers was a diamond wedding band while his was a platinum and titanium wedding band. Jake placed the ring on her finger, she placed his on his left finger, and they were pronounced man and wife.

"You may now kiss your bride." Said the Reverend and Jake lifted her veil completely off her face and kissed her deeply and with great passion. Hayley wrapped her arms around his neck. Everyone in attendance cheered.

"May I present to you, Mr. & Mrs. Jacob Harrison-Cassidy." Reverend Mansfield announced and applause erupted.

Flashes from cameras and cell phones as well as the photographers hired and videographer captured the event. Hayley and Jake were both grinning from ear to ear.

Everyone was looking at the bride and groom, but Mason was looking at Daniela. Just as they started to go up the aisle, Daniela felt a gush of water and looking down; she realized her water had broken. Mary gasped. Mason said to his parents, "Daniela's water's broke; we have to get her to the hospital."

Mason moved to her side. Luckily the pain hadn't started. Daniela whispered to Mary, "Don't say anything until after the reception has started. I don't want to take away from Hayley's day. Get Frederick and tell him to meet us at the hospital." Mary nodded and continued down the aisle where she found Frederick and whispered in his ear. Frederick jumped in a taxi and got to the hospital before Daniela arrived.

Catherine Chadwell, followed by her husband Thomas helped Mason. Mason whispered to his father, "Mother and I have this. You go to the reception. Make sure that Matthew gets there. We are going to call the doctor and take her to the hospital."

Lord Thomas agreed and left as Mason and his mother helped Daniela out a side entrance. Samantha noticed them leaving and grabbed Thomas. "Is she in labor?"

"Please don't tell your father; Daniela doesn't want to spoil Hayley's day. We'll tell him later." Thomas said and Samantha agreed.

***

Daniela was rushed to the hospital. Her labor was ten minutes apart and she was breathing as she had learned from the Lamaze classes she and Mason took. Mason was helping her with the breathing and timing the contractions as Lady Catherine held her hand.

The doctor was ready when they arrived and immediately took Daniela into her private room. Daniela had asked for Frederick and Lady Catherine as well as Mason to be with her when she delivered so they were given scrubs and entered the room.

Daniela's contractions were increasing and she was eight centimeters dilated. "You're doing great," said the doctor. "We need you to get to ten and then you'll be ready to push."

Mason was nervous, as was Frederick. "Daughter, are you sure you want me to stay?" said her father looking pale.

"Yes papa, please, I want you to see your grandchildren being born." She said taking his hand.

Lady Catherine was by her side and Daniela said to her, "Thank you for being with me. I miss my mother."

Lady Catherine smiled, "I wouldn't be anywhere else my dear, you are already my daughter." She said kissing Daniela's forehead.

***

The buses were on the road as well as the limousines and private cars following to Long Island and Bitzy's house.

Hayley and Jake walked out into the bright New York sunlight to cheers and applause erupting from the people on the street. The photographers and news crews were also there, but it was the love from the people that meant a great deal to Hayley. They stayed on the top steps for a few minutes before getting into their Maybach Landaulet limousine.

Hayley leaned over and kissed Jake's lips. "I love you." She said. The car's roof slid back and Hayley and Jake were out in the open. They waved to the crowd as the car drove away.

Hayley was happy and excited. Jake was glad that it was over and he was married to the woman he loved. He kissed Hayley and when they stopped, he asked the chauffeur to put up the top. The partition was closed and Jake held her. "Nice dress." He said.

Hayley laughed, "Want to fool around?" She said raising an eyebrow.

"Yes and...no." Jake grew serious, "There will be enough fucking going on later. Let's just enjoy the quiet time we have now and we'll have the rest of our lives to 'fool around'."

Hayley laid her head on his chest, "You are so right. Did you wake up horny?"

"You are lucky you weren't at home because I would have fucked you silly." Jake took her chin in his hand and lifted her face up. He kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Tonight is going to be really crazy, so I'm going to enjoy the reception and not think about it. I woke up this morning and my pussy was so wet."

"I think the formula is preparing us for tonight and this will be the last time that Matthew touches you." Jake said.

Hayley kissed him, "After tomorrow I'm all yours until..."

Jake pressed his finger to her lips, "Let's not think about what happens a few months from now and let's enjoy our wedding reception."

***

Samantha told the other bridesmaids that Daniela was on her way to the hospital. She asked them not to say anything until they went to have pictures taken.

Bitzy's mansion and grounds had been transformed into a beautiful wedding venue. Jake and Hayley stared at the wonderful work that Collin had done. Hayley's colors of lilac and silver were evident outside where the cocktail hour was held under the air conditioned tents.

Photos were taken of the wedding party and Hayley was the first to notice that Daniela was missing. Samantha said to everyone, "Mason took Daniela to the hospital. Her water broke at the end of the ceremony."

"Why didn't she tell me?" Matthew said annoyed. Helen knew why, she didn't want him there and Helen was glad. She made a mental note to give Daniela a really nice baby gift.

It was Hayley who said to her father, "Daniela didn't tell you because she didn't want to ruin my day and I don't want you to ruin it either. Let's enjoy, I'm sure they will phone when the babies are born."

Matthew softened, "You're right baby girl. Let's get those photos taken."

***

Daniela was ten centimeters dilated. The doctor ordered her to push. With Mason by her side, she began to push. Mason wiped her brow and kissed her forehead.

Daniela pushed hard and out slid the beautiful baby girl who howled as she was brought into the world. Daniela had a few minutes rest and then she had to push again. Daniela grunted and moaned, "I can't. I'm so tired."

Mason held her hand, "you can and then it's over. Come on Dani, push!"

Daniela looked into Mason's eyes and she bore down and pushed. The doctor helped ease her son out into the world. He was still, but the doctor patted his back and soon he cried.

Daniela lay back on the bed exhausted. Mason kissed her and walked over to the nurse and the doctors who were tending to the babies. The nurse handed him the little girl washed and dressed in swaddling clothes. She was so tiny and Mason kissed the pretty face as Daniela watched him.

He brought the baby over to Daniela as the doctors were cleaning her son. Lady Catherine and Frederick were both composing themselves. Frederick had tears streaming down his face. He was so overjoyed at witnessing the birth of his grandchildren. Lady Catherine took out her phone and called her husband, "They are beautiful. I'm staying with Daniela, take lots of pictures at the reception and tell Hayley I said congrats. She looked lovely and the dress was spectacular."

Lady Catherine kissed Daniela's hand. Frederick was handed his grandson and he brought the child over to Daniela. Daniela now held both her babies, one in each arm and Mason took the first photo of his new family with tears in his eyes.

The doctor interrupted their family moment, "I will have the blood test run and we should have the results in a few days, I've put a rush on it."

"Thank you doctor for everything" Mason said as he came over to Daniela and kissed her lips.

Frederick and Lady Catherine went into the hallway. "I'm so proud of my Daniela." Frederick said. "The babies are beautiful. I am hoping they are Mr. Jakes."

Lady Catherine smiled at him, "So am I."

Too soon, the nurse came to take the babies. "Mr. Chadwell, you should go home. Miss Daniela needs her rest. Have you thought of names for the babies, the nurse asked? Daniela looked at Mason and smiled. "For my daughter, her name is Camilla Catherine Chadwell and for my son, his name is Carlos Frederick Chadwell." She had named her daughter for her mother and Mason's and her son for her grandfather and her father.

When Lady Catherine was told, she burst into tears and held her new namesake. "Thank you my dear girl, thank you."

Daniela went to sleep and the babies were taken to the nursery. Mason took his mother and Frederick out to dinner, but not before he phoned Matthew and told him that Daniela had given birth.

***

Hayley and Jake danced into the reception. The usual wedding practices were kept, there was a line dance, and a cake cutting, but the band was Cee Lo Green Michael Bublé and a few others.

Hayley had chosen a special song to dance with her father, it was called, 'Real Good Hands" and the singer Gregory Porter. Matthew held her tightly as Gregory Porter sang, "Papa don't you fret and don't forget that one day you were in my shoes, Somehow you paid your dues. Now you're the picture of a man that I someday want to be. I know it's hard, watching the changes in our lives, but I want to make your daughter, my wife."

Matthew whispered in Hayley's ear, "This will be the last time that I get to take you my dear Hayley and I'm going to make the best of it."

Hayley whispered back, "I'm sure you will, but I belong totally to Jake. So this will be our goodbye father."

"I know" Said Matthew sadly.

Jake danced with Helen, "How do you think he's going to adjust?"

Helen smiled, "He's going to be fine. After tonight, the formula will take over and he will let her go. It's going to be a long night, but I'll be there to take him back to his room after he's done. He'll cry I'm sure. He's dreaded this day and giving her up for good."

Jake was dancing with his mother, Susan, who wore a frown on her face, "So what's with the name change? Isn't the wife supposed to take her husband's name?"
