Zara was sitting with Poppy in the lounge. Daniel was at work and Zara was looking at wedding magazines. Poppy was sitting in her chair and holding her teddy. "Hello You," Zara said to Poppy, whilst reading through a magazine. Poppy Yawned. "Someones a tired baby," Zara said. She picked up Poppy out of her chair and sat down on the sofa with her. Zara put her feet up and held Poppy to her chest. Poppy eventually fell asleep, and a tired Zara did so too.
Daniel unlocked the front door. He walked through the hall and into the living room, where he saw Zara fast asleep on the sofa, holding Poppy to her chest, who was also sleeping. Daniel smiled and kissed them both on the forehead. Zara stirred slightly but stayed sleeping. Daniel put his bags in their room, grabbed his laptop and went downstairs. He sat on the other sofa, and tried to do some work, although he kept watch over Zara and Poppy. He noted on Zara and how much she'd changed since becoming a mum. Daniel couldnt wait to marry her.
Zara stirred slightly and opened her eyes. She looked down at the tiny baby she had her arms around. Poppy was still sleeping, and Daniel was sitting on the sofa. Daniel looked over to her and smiled. "Evening Sleepyhead," Daniel said, smiling at Rachel. "What time is it?" Zara said. "6 o clock," Daniel said. "Well ive been asleep for ages then, Poppy was tired," Zara said. "Yeah shes still asleep, she'll probably wake up soon enough though," Daniel said. "She'll probably be awake all night," Zara said. "True," Daniel said. "So, have you rung Joe yet?" Zara asked. "Yes, he says hes looking forward to it, and about time too," Daniel said. Zara started laughing. "Well i rang Kay, my cousin, shes going to come to the wedding," Zara said, "And Ruths coming too." "What about your dad?" Daniel asked. "Im going to ring him tomorrow," Zara said. Zara was suddenly disturbed by Poppy wriggling. "Looks Like Poppys woken up," She said. Zara sat up a bit and held on to Poppy. Daniel came over and sat next to Zara. "You going to have a cuddle with daddy, Poppy?" Zara said, handing Poppy over to Daniel. Daniel held Poppy gently and smiled at her. "Hello you!" Daniel said, cuddling his daughter gently. Poppy kept trying to reach over and cling onto Zaras hair. "Hey, leave mummys hair alone, its lovely but your having a cuddle with daddy right now," "Daddys jealous," Zara said to Poppy. Daniel looked at Zara, who smiled sweetly at him.
Daniel was cooking in the kitchen - ever since Zara was pregnant with Poppy, he had insisted on cooking. Zara wandered into the kitchen holding Poppy. "Smells good." Zara said. "Yes, its the Granger Pasta Special." Daniel said. Zara laughed. "By the way did you ask Jimmi and Grinny today?" Zara said. "Yeah they said theyd love to" Daniel said. "Okay," Zara said, sitting down and putting Poppy on her lap. Poppy looked around the kitchen and looked at her daddy cooking.
Daniel and Zara had just finished dinner and were now sitting on the sofa together. Zara was holding a sleepy Poppy. "Ill go and settle her down," Zara said. Daniel nodded and Zara carried Poppy upstairs. She put Poppy into her pyjama babygro and sat on the edge of the bed, with Poppy in her arms. "Are you going to go to sleep for mummy, Poppy?" Zara said. Poppy looked up at her mum and held on to Zaras little finger. Zara smiled down at Poppy, who was drifting off to sleep. Eventually, Poppy fell asleep, and Zara was just tucking her into her cot when Daniel came up. "Hey, is she settling down okay?" Daniel asked. "Yeah, shes fine," Zara replied, leaning down and kissing a sleeping Poppys forehead. She switched on the baby monitors and took one downstairs. Daniel sat down and Zara cuddled up to him. Daniel put his arms tightly around Zara, and kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much," Daniel whispered. "I love you too," Zara replied, "And im so proud of you," Daniel said. "Your an amazing, beautiful mum to Poppy, and in some ways to Izzie aswell. I feel like a proper family," Zara looked up and kissed Daniel.
After about half an hour of kissing and cuddling, they decided it was time to head up to bed. Zara and Daniel got changed and checked on Poppy, who was fast asleep. They got into bed and Daniel put his arms around Zaras waist. Zara fell asleep fairly quickly - she knew she was safe.
Poppy was crying. It was half 2 in the morning. Zara opened her eyes and looked over to Daniel. Unsurprisingly for Daniel, he was sleeping through it all. Zara gave Daniel a kick, then got out of bed and went over to the cot. She picked up Poppy and rocked her back to sleep. Once Poppy was asleep, Zara got back into bed. She tried to keep away from Daniel but it was too cold so she cuddled up to him again.

Zara was putting Poppy into her pram. Daniel was at work, and Zara needed to get out the house. It was absoulutely freezing outside, but Zara decided to wrap herself and Poppy up warm and go shopping. Poppy was wearing a thick babygro, and had numerous blankets over her aswell. Zara pushed the pram outside the house, and walked up the road. Zara got a few smiles and Awws on the way to town.
Zara wandered through town, stopping off in lots of shops. She had already spent a lot of money on "Essentials". These consisted of 2 new pairs of shoes for her, a pair of shoes and a pair of tiny uggs for Poppy, more babygros for Poppy, more clothes for Poppy and Nappies.
Zara was sitting in Starbucks. She had ordered a coffee and was bottlefeeding Poppy. Poppy was trying to hold the bottle herself but it was quite difficult as she was still very small. Zara smiled at her daughter. Zara took a sip of her coffee when Daniel rang. "Hey, how are you both?" Daniel asked. "We're great, yourself?" Zara said. "Yeah im good, what you doing?" Daniel asked. "Oh were in town, shopping." Zara said. "Shopping? Theres a surprise." Daniel said. Zara laughed. "So hows Poppy?" "Shes fine, shes been awake most the time, and ive bought a few new clothes for her." Zara said. "Aww good, hopefully she'll sleep through the night tonight then," Daniel said. "Oh well, a pig just flew past starbucks," Zara said sarcastically. Daniel laughed. "Not that it would affect you anyway whether Poppy sleeps through the night or not, as you sleep through her crying!" "Ah, yes." Daniel said. "Im not impressed." Zara said. "Okay, well anyway, how long will you be in town for?" Daniel asked. "Well im not sure, why?" Zara asked. "I get off at half 3 today, maybe we could meet in town?" Daniel suggested. "Yeah that would be great," Zara said. "Ok, good, give Poppy a kiss from me, ill see you later," Daniel said. "Okay, i will," Zara said. "I love you," Daniel said. "I love you too Daniel" Zara said.
Zara was wandering through town with Poppy when Daniel arrived. Daniel snuck up behind her and put his arms around her waist. Zara jumped and turned around. "Scare the life out of me then!" Zara said to a smiling Daniel. Daniel kissed Zara. He looked down into the pram. "Shes fallen asleep," Zara said.
Zara and Daniel walked through town together, Zara pushing the pram. Zara wasnt sure where to go as she had been in most shops. She didnt mind though because the important thing was she was with the 2 most important people in her life. They decided to go home. Daniel had his car with him, and Poppys carseat. Zara strapped Poppy in to the carseat, and strapped the carseat to the car. Poppy continued to sleep - it was only a 10 minute journey home.
Zara carried Poppy into the house, being very careful not to wake her. Zara sat down and cradled Poppy. Daniel brought the shopping in and put it all upstairs. He then came downstairs and sat next to Zara on the sofa. "Have you rung your dad yet?" Daniel asked. Zara looked at him. "I forgot," She admitted. "Go on, ring him now," Daniel said. Zara gently handed Poppy over to him, and went to get the phone. She dialled her dads number, and he answered. "Hello Daddy," Zara said. "Zara, hello sweetheart, how are you?" Jed asked. "Im good, thankyou, how about you?" Zara said. "Im good. Hows Poppy?" Jed asked. "Shes fantastic - beautiful aswell," Zara said, "Ive got some news." "Is it good?" Jed said. "Yes its brilliant Daddy, Im getting married," Zara said. "My beautiful daughter getting married?" Jed asked. "Yes daddy," Zara said, smiling. "Thats brilliant news sweetheart. To Daniel i presume?" Jed said. "Yes," Zara said, "Will you give me away?" "Of Course i will, Zara, of course," Jed said. "Im so proud of you," Zara and Jed spoke on the phone for a while, then they said their goodbyes.
Daniel took Poppy upstairs and put her in her cot. He switched on the baby monitors and took one downstairs. Zara was in the kitchen making a drink. Zara walked back in and put the drink down on the coffee table. she went and sat on Daniel. He put his arms around her waist and Zara smiled at him. She cuddled up to him.
Daniel was bored of watching telly. Zara had fallen asleep on him and he was worried about waking her. He gently kissed her and she woke up. "Did i fall asleep?" She said sleepily. "Yes, But i thought it would be best to wake you up, im not sure youd apreciate me leaving you down here allnight. "Oh. Okay." Zara said, sitting up slightly. She kissed Daniel, who responded immediatly. They were sitting on the sofa, competely lost in eachother. Once they had finally managed to get their hands ( or lips) off eachother, Daniel took Zaras hand and they went upstairs. They got changed and Zara fell asleep in Daniels arms.

A few months had gone by, and Zara and Daniels wedding was near. Poppy was now 6 months old. Zara and Daniel had got their outfits for the wedding, and Ruth was back in england. There were only a few days left until the wedding and moreorless everything was planned. Zara had shortened her honeymoon because she was really worried about leaving Poppy alone for more than 5 days. Poppy still hadnt got into a sleep routine yet, but Zara didnt mind because Daniel had started to help out.
It was a cold February morning, and Daniel was heading off to work. Zara kissed him goodbye. "This time next week, We'll be married , and in Spain for our honeymoon." Daniel said, pulling Zara into a passionate kiss. "Meet me at lunch?" "Of course," Zara said. Daniel reluctantly let her go and walked out the door. Zara stood on the doorstep and waved goodbye to him. She went back inside and shut the door. Ruth had just woken up, she was staying in one of the spare rooms, and Poppy was still sleeping in her cot. "Morning," Ruth said, coming down the stairs. "Hello," Zara said, "Coffee?" "Ooh yes please," Ruth said. "Sorry, did Poppy keep you awake last night?" Zara asked. "Well she only woke me up at one point, but i dont mind," Ruth said. Zara nodded and put the kettle on. "I bet she'll probably sleep most the day now," Zara said, "She kept me and Daniel up most the night!" "Aww," Ruth said. They heard a cry on the baby monitor. Zara looked at the monitor and looked at Ruth, "Speak of the devil." She said, walking upstairs to get Poppy.
Zara returned downstairs with Poppy. Poppy was clinging onto Zaras hair. Poppy could nearly sit up on her own, but still needed help. Zara sat down and put Poppy on her lap. She prised Poppys tiny hand away from her hair and Poppy grabbed onto her hand instead. Ruth smiled at Poppy. "Hello Poppy," Ruth said. Poppy looked at her, slightly confused. "Poppy this is Ruth," Zara said to Poppy. Poppy reached out for a hug from Ruth. Zara looked at Poppy and laughed. Ruth looked at Poppy. "I think she wants a hug," Ruth said, looking at Zara. "Do you want to give her a hug?" Zara asked. "Yes, Id love to," Ruth said. Zara stood up and gently handed Poppy over to Ruth. Ruth held on to Poppy gently, and smiled at her. Zara smiled at Ruth and Ruth smiled back. "Shes so light," Ruth said. "Well shes a baby, she would be," Zara said, semi-sarcastically. Ruth laughed and looked down at Poppy. "Hello Poppy," She said, Poppy looked at Ruth. She held onto Ruths little finger for a while, but eventually reached out back to Zara. Zara took her back and smiled down at her.
"So, what shall we do today?" Zara asked. "Erm... any last-minute things needed for the wedding?" Ruth asked. "No, everythings planned." Zara said. "Well we're going to the Mill at lunch arnt we," Ruth said. "Yes we are," Zara said, smiling. "Aww Zara, you've been practically glowing with happiness since you got with Daniel, and especially since having Poppy," Ruth said. Zara smiled. "I guess im happy, ive got the family ive always dreamed of, and im in love," She said "Well im really happy for you," Ruth said, smiling. She got up end went to get dressed.
Poppy had started teething, meaning she was crying more then ever. Zara had put teething gel on her gums but it didnt appear to be making much effect. Zara was sitting on the sofa, gently rocking Poppy, trying to stop her crying. "Shh, i know it hurts darling but please dont cry," Zara whispered. Ruth came back downstairs. "She wont stop," Zara said, almost helplessly. "Aww, Jimmi and Cherry are going to have their hands full next week," Ruth said. "Oh God." Zara said, "I hope they'll be ok," "Zara, its only for 5 days, im sure you'll be fine, and so will Poppy," Ruth said "Yeah. I guess. Anyway, we need to start making our way to the Mill, or we'll be late," Zara said.
Zara pulled up at the mill. She looked over to Poppy, who was strapped into the carseat. Ruth was sat in the back. She climbed out the car, and Zara picked the carseat up with Poppy in it. She walked inside with Ruth. Julia was in reception. "RUTH!" Julia said, Running over to Ruth and giving her a hug. Zara smiled, and waited for Daniel to finish seeing his last patient. She sat down, and Ruth and Julia went off to eat lunch and have a catchup. Daniel came out and after saying goodbye to his last patient. He went over to Zara and passionatly kissed her - much to the disapproval of Mrs Tembe. "Hello," Zara said. Poppy looked up out of the seat, And Daniel picked the carseat up. "Hello Poppy," Daniel said. He put the seat on one arm, and held Zaras hand, then lead her into the staffroom. Zara and Daniel sat down together at the table and sat Poppy in her chair next to them. They ate their lunch and Zara fed Poppy.
Ruth came back in from her catchup with Julia. She hovered at the door - Zara was sitting on Daniels lap holding Poppy. Ruth walked off and left the happy family to it.

Zara and DaNiel walked out of the Mill together. They were both going off to get ready for their stag and hen nights. They wouldnt see eachother until they were gettiNg married. Daniel pulled Zara into a VERY passionate kiss infront of everyone. They put their arms tightly around eachother and didnt let go of eachother for ages. Daniel gave Zara one last kiss, then gently took Zaras hands. "I love you," He said. Zara smiled. "I love you too,," Zara said. They finally broke away from eachother and went off to get ready for their nights. "It is such a sin that they are kissing before marriage, it is disgraceful!" Mrs Tembe tutted.
Daniel, Jimmi, Joe and Heston were all sitting round the Icon, drinking. They were mainly talking women. Daniel was talking about how much he loved Zara, Jimmi was talking about Cherry and how shes banned from the kitchen after she dropped watercress soup all over the floor. Daniel then continued to go on and on about Zara, and Poppy. He kept ringing Jed to check Poppy was okay, and she was fine. Heston was commenting on Mrs Tembes obsession with him, and how irritating she could be. The 4 men were all laughing and talking. They were all quite excited about the wedding, and Daniels mum was flying in tonight to watch her darling boy get married.
Daniel was very drunk. He hadnt forgotten how to text and sent numerous drunk texts out to everyone. "Hey lets play strip poker!" A drunk Jimmi suggested. Everyone agreed to, and the game began.
The game had gone on and Jack had eventually kicked them out - it was closing time. Daniel was down to his pants. He thought it would be a good idea to run through the park dressed like this. He stood up on a bench and shouted at the top of his voice "I am the happiest man alive, because im marrying the most beautiful woman on the planet, Zara Carmichael! I LOVE her to bits!" He then did a silly drunk dance before divebombing into the lake. "Oh Dear" was all Joe could think of. Daniel climbed out the lake and Heston and Joe held on to him and took him home, Jimmi following.
Daniel Joe and Heston were all staying at Jimmi's place. Daniel was asleep in his room. Joe and Heston were asleep on the sofas. The house was silent very quickly, apart from the odd bit of snoring. They had paracetemol at the ready, they would need it tomorrow. Especially Daniel.

It was the night of Zara and Daniels Stag and hen parties. Daniel was going to the icon with Jimmi and Heston. Poppy was being looked after by Jed ( Who had endured an hour and a half of Zara talking and going through everything Poppy needed. Zara was going to a bar in Birmingham with Ruth, Julia, Karen, Elaine, Cherry and Kay. And Mrs Tembe. Zara felt bad about leaving Mrs Tembe out so decided to invite her - she could always decline? Mrs Tembe had decided to come along however.
The taxi pulled up in the middle of Birmingham. Everyone piled out of the taxi in their dresses and heels - even mrs tembe! They piled into the bar and sat in the table they had booked in the corner. Zara ordered the first round of smirnoffs - start with the alcopops and work their way up. Mrs Tembe asked for water, but Julia eventually eased her onto smirnoff. They all sat round laughing and chatting. Zara was trying not to get too drunk - she had a little girl that would be needing her when she got home.
A couple of hours later Cherry and Kay wenre very drunk, Julia was tipsy, Elaine was getting drunk, And Ruth and Zara were tipsy. Mrs Tembe watched her colleagues in disgust, shaking her head. Then she looked over at her pile-up of alcohol. she was very tempted to try this strange liquid, so she ended up tipsy.
Jed was watching over his granddaughter. Poppy was fast asleep. Jed looked at her - She looked so much like Zara did when she was a baby. He was so proud of Zara, she had produced such a beautiful baby, and he would be giving her away to the man she loves very soon.
It was 11pm and Zaras "not too drunk" plans hadnt exactly gone to plan. She was complety drunk out of her mind, like most of the others around her except ruth. Ruth was just tipsy. Mrs Tembe was hardly recognised - she couldnt walk in a straight line and was hysterically laughing. Ruth called the taxi at quarter to 12. She put Zaras arm around her and helped her to the taxi. She then proceeded to help the others into the taxi. They were all staying at Zaras. They clambered out the taxi and Ruth opened the front door and let them all in. She gave everyonne some water in the vain hope they would sober up a bit. Ruth thanked Jed on behalf of Zara ( who was dancing with mrs tembe) for looking after Poppy.
Ruth helped Zara up the stairs, and Zara practically passed out on the bed. Ruth openend the door to Zaras bathroom - Julia had passed out in the bathtub and elaine was asleep on the bathroom floor. Karen was asleep on the kitchen floor and Mrs Tembe and Cherry had passed out on the sofas. Kay was asleep on the stairs. Ruth put blankets over them. If this had been any other day, Zara would have gone ape. But Zara was out of it, despite Ruths desperate attempts. Ruth walked into the kitchen. She got some glasses out the cupboards and filled them with water. She put one next to Kay, One next to Karen, etc. She put a couple of paracetemol next to each glass - they would need it for their hangovers the next day. Ruth went to bed eventually.
Ruth was awoken by a cry. Poppy had woken up. Ruth listened for Zara to get up - but she heard nothing. Ruth got up and walked into Zara's room and noticed Zara still asleep on her bed. Ruth went over to Zara and shook her gently. "Zara," She said. Zara didnt respond - she was still pretty out of it. Ruth whacked her with a pillow. " Zara your daughter needs you, " Ruth hissed. Zara stirred slightly but didnt make any attempt to get up. Ruth sighed. Poppy was still crying, and she needed a hug. Ruth shook Zara one more time. She went over to Poppys cot and picked up Poppy. Ruth rocked Poppy for a bit until she stopped crying. "Hey Shh, Its Ruth. Mummys had too much to drink so she cant get up, silly mummy!" Ruth said. Poppy stopped crying and her big eyes looked around the room for a bit. Eventually, Ruth put her back down to sleep then went back to her own room. She hoped Poppy would sleep through the rest of the night, seeing as her mother was completely out of it.

The alarm went off. Zara slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed is that she had a banging headache/hangover. She didnt remember much from the previous night, except from drinking lots. She slowly looked beside her to the bedside table, where she saw a glass of water and paracetemol. Zara slowly sat up, and gulped down the paracetomol. Then she remembered. Today was her wedding day. She sat up slowly, and looked around the room. She immediatly saw Poppy's cot. She slowly got up and went over to the cot. Poppy was still sleeping, and Zara didnt want to wake her. She went back to bed.
Ruth came in and sat at the end of Zaras bed. "Good Morning," Ruth said, "You Look Dead." "Oh thanks." Zara said, sitting up. "Hows the hangover?" Ruth asked. "Its going away," Zara said, "But Poppy slept through the whole night last night," "No she didnt," Ruth said. "She did, she didnt wake me up at all," Zara said. "Zara, you were completely drunk, you were practically unconcious." Ruth said. "I would have woken up for Poppy," Zara said. "No, Poppy did wake up, i heard her, i got up and tried to wake you but you were completely out of it," Ruth said. "Did you leave Poppy crying?" Zara asked. "No, i held her for a bit until she stopped," Ruth said. "Oh really? Thank you so much Ruth," Zara said "Its no problem." Ruth said, "So, we've got to turn you into a beautiful bride, its your wedding day!," "The best day of my life and i woke up with a headache," Zara said. Ruth laughed.
Poppy started crying, and within seconds she was in Zara's arms. "Shh, Mummys here, im sorry i didnt hold you last night," Zara said, kissing her babys forehead. Zara walked back and forth up the room with Poppy. Poppy eventually stopped crying and Zara put her in her chair. Zara had to concentrate on getting ready. She walked into the bathroom to get her makeup bag, and nearly tripped over Elaine. "Good God," Zara said, giving Elaine a nudge. She then turned to see Julia asleep in the bath. Zara giggled to herself, took her makeup bag and went out.
Zara took Poppys dress out of the wardrobe. She was holding on to Poppy. Zara lay Poppy down on the baby mat. Zara changed Poppys nappy, Then she put Poppys dress on her. Poppy looked extremely cute in it. Zara put a bib on her to stop her dribbling down her dress. Ruth walked in with Zara's dress at that point. "Aww Zara, Poppy looks lovely," Ruth said. Zara smiled, putting teething gel on Poppys gums. Zara picked up Poppy and put her in her chair. Zara went for a quick look round the house - Elaine and Mrs Tembe had gone to Elaines to get ready. Julia was awake and Cherry was getting ready.
Zara was sat at her dressing table, doing her makeup. Ruth had offered to help but Zaras makeup was always perfect so she didnt really need help. Ruth straightened Zara's hair for her, it was completely straight. Zara pinned some of the front of her hair back.
Zaras face and hair were perfect, now all she Needed to do was get into her dress.
Zara looked in the full length mirror. She looked beautiful. She was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, and white stillettos. Ruth knocked on the door. "Can i come in?" She asked. "Yes," Zara said. Ruth opened the door. "Wow Zara, you look stunning," Ruth said. Zara smiled. Ruth looked over to Poppy, who was sitting in her chair. "Poppy looks lovely too,"
Zara smiled. "She does doesnt she, shes beautiful," She said. "Like her mum," Ruth said. Zara just smiled, "Hey since when have you started being so modest?" Zara laughed, "Ive changed a lot since having Poppy," "Yeah i can tell," Ruth said.
Kay walked in. "WOW Zara you look so pretty! And i was always the prettier one in the family too, ooh are there going to be fit men at the wedding?" She said. Zara rolled her eyes. Kay was annoying her already and it wasnt even midday yet. "Kay, shush. The only "fit man" worth seeing is the one im getting married to - and hes mine!" Zara said. Kay smiled and wandered off. Zara looked at Ruth and Cherry, who had decided to say nothing. Zara smirked slightly. "I know shes my cousin and everything but she is quite annoying," "She was sick on your kitchen floor last night by the way Zara," Ruth said. "She what?!" Zara said. Ruth nodded. "Thats grim." "I cleaned it up." Ruth said. Zara looked apologetic and carried on what she was doing. She went over to Poppys chair and picked up Poppy. She cuddled Poppy and sat on the bed. "Cherry," Zara said, "Are you definatly going to be okay with her?" "Yes, we'll be fine with her Zara, i bet Poppy is good as gold," Cherry said, "Can i hold her?" It was Zaras wedding day and she was feeling happy and nice, so she gently handed Poppy over to Cherry. "Aww, hello," Cherry said, smiling down at Poppy. Zara smiled at them, and started telling cherrry about everything Poppy needed. Cherry nodded, taking everything in.
The doorbell rang. Julia answered the door, it was Zara's dad. Julia let him in and went upstairs. Zara was sitting on the bed with Cherry, holding Poppy. "Wow. Zara you look beautiful, erm your dads just arrived," Julia said. Zara smiled. "You ready?" "Im as ready as ill ever be," Zara said, "Could you hold Poppy for me?" Julia took Poppy and Zara slowly walked down the stairs. The wedding car was outside. Jed nearly cried when he saw his daughter. "Oh Zara, my little girl, you look beautiful, Daniel is one lucky man," He said. Zara smiled. They went outside, and had their picture taken by the car. They then got in the car, and the car pulled away. Julia (Who was holding Poppy) went inside and strapped Poppy into her carseat. She put Poppy in her car, and Cherry and Ruth climbed in the back, watching over Poppy. They went off to the hotel where Zara and Daniel were getting married.
Jed and Zara were in the car. "My Little girl, all grown up," Jed said, "I remember when you were as small as Poppy," "Ill always be your little girl, Daddy," Zara said. "And if it wasnt for you, i wouldnt be here today. Id still be in prison," Jed said. "I only did what was right for you," Zara said, "I wouldnt of had this day without you." "Daniels a very lucky man to have you - he better treat you well," Jed said "Ill make sure he does, dont worry," Zara said, smiling.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY + HAPPY ZANIEL WEDDING DAY
Daniel was standing at the Alter. In a few moments, Zara would be walking down the aisle in a few moments. He was nervous, but he knew that it was probably natural. There were lots of familiar faces at the wedding. Lisa and Izzy were there, Everyone from the mill was there, Kay and Harriet were there, The Hollins's were there, Joe was there, The hotel was very full.
Zara stood outside with her dad. "You ready?" Jed asked. "Yes, daddy, i think so," Zara said. "Well lets go in there, and you can make me prouder than i already am," Jed said, giving his daughter a hug. Zara and Jed linked arms as the doors opened. They walked slowly down the aisle. Jed gave his daughter away to Daniel, then went over to his seat.
The registrar started the ceremony. "I, Daniel Granger, take you Zara Carmichael, to be my lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." Daniel repeated, meaning every word. "I, Zara Carmichael , take you Daniel Granger, to be my lawful wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part. " Zara repeated. "I prounounce you both husband and wife," The registrar said, "You may kiss the bride," Daniel and Zara put their arms around eachother and kissed.
It was the wedding reception. It was in the hotel and everyone was having a good time. Zara and Daniel were sitting on their table with Poppy, Isobel, Jimmi, Cherry, Jed, and Daniels mum, Marion. The time for the speeches came.
Jed stood up first. "Well, first of all id like to thank you all for coming and sharing such a beautiful and memorable day. Its been fantastic so far, and i cant tell you how proud, as Zara's father, i am. Zara, you look absolutely beautiful today, all grown up! Your mother would be so proud of you.

Daniel - I would like to welcome you into my family aswell. I thank you for making my beautiful daughter so happy, ive and together you have produced a beautiful baby, my lovely granddaughter, Poppy. I can see bits of both of you in her, shes a gorgeous baby and she looks a lot like Zara did when she was young. So congratulations, Zara and Daniel." Jed raised his glass, "To Zara and Daniel," The hall raised their glasses for the happy couple.
Next Daniel stood up. "Id like to thank everyone for being here today. Jimmi, i asked you as best man, because your a true mate, and you've really been there for me, ever since i met you. We always have a laugh together. Jed, your my dad in law now, and i'd like to thank you for how welcoming you have been to me. Mum - Thank you so much for flying in from Greece. Id like to thank you for all the support you've given me over the years, even when i was going through some hard times, you stuck by me. Id like to thank everyone here today for coming to our wedding, especially the people who have come from miles away to see us. We really appreciate it, so thank you. I'd just like so say how lucky i am to have such a beautiful wife, and my 2 beautiful daughters aswell, Isobel and Poppy. Finally, id like to make a toast to the bridesmaids. You all look fantastic today."
Finally it was Jimmi's turn to stand up. "Well, When Daniel asked me to be his best man, i responded with "Your Getting Married?!". I feel honoured to be you best man Daniel, and your a real mate. I have loads of memories with you. Zara, you look lovely today, Daniel is one very lucky man. I remember when you two didnt get on for a short period of time - Julia sent you on a team building course," The hall laughed, "Although i dread to think what you got up to on it!" More laughter, " You got on like a cat and dog, but then you got together - That was sweet. And also, You have a beautiful daughter together - although with you personalities combined, what's she going to be like when shes older?!" The hall laughed again, including Daniel and Zara. "No, shes lovely - and Isobel is too. Zara, I remember the day you walking into the Mill, at Melody's leaving party. I saw Daniel gawping at you, and instantly knew he liked you. I was actually quite scared of you at first, but i know that you can be lovely. Finally id like to propose a toat to Daniel and Zara. To Daniel and Zara," Jimmi said, raising his glass. The rest of the hall followed suit.
It was time for Daniel and Zara's first dance. Neither of them danced much usually but they tried to follow the song. "Daniel i really cant dance," Zara said as they tried to dance. "Neither can i," Daniel said. Zara smiled and stood on tip toes to kiss him. "I love you," Daniel said, kissing Zara. "I love you too," Zara said.
The wedding ended and Zara and Daniel were staying at the hotel - They had a really early flight tomorrow. This meant Zara would have to hand Poppy over to Cherry and Jimmi for the next 5 days. Zara held Poppy tightly, giving her a hug. "You be good for Cherry and Jimmi, okay?" Zara said. She gave Poppy a final hug and kissed her forehead. "Mummy loves you, shes not leaving you, shes coming back," Zara handed Poppy over to Daniel for a cuddle. Daniel gave Poppy a hug, then handed her over to Cherry. "So skype every night or so?" Cherry asked. Zara nodded.
Zara and Daniel were in their hotel room. They were lying in bed together, Daniel's arms around Zara. "Today was the best day of my life," Zara said. Daniel kissed the top of her head. "It was definatly the best day of my life aswell. Because the most important people in my life were there. You, Poppy and Isobel. All i need in life is you 3 and my life is complete, and im the happiest man alive. And this time tomorrow we'll be in the sun, probably on the beach or curled up in our room together," Daniel said. He put his arms around a sleepy Zara and fell asleep. Zara was already asleep by this time.

Daniels alarm went off. Today they were flying out on their honeymoon in Spain. Daniel looked down at Zara, who was still fast asleep. He kissed her cheek. "Zara," He whispered. Zara stirred slightly and Daniel kissed her again. Zara opened her eyes. She kissed Daniel. "Good Morning, Mrs Granger" Daniel said as Zara slowly sat up, "Are you ready for Spain?" Zara smiled. "4 Days of you, all to myself," she said, as she got up to get ready. Daniel got up aswell and started getting ready. Half an hour later, their taxi had arrived and Zara was lugging a very big suitcase into the lift. "Did you really need to bring so much, Za, its 4 days?" Daniel said. "These are only my essentials Daniel," Zara said. Daniel laughed and kissed her.
Zara and Daniel had checked in. They still had a couple of hours until their flight and were relaxing in Starbucks. It was too early for either of them to start drinking alcohol, so they had settled for coffee. They were talking about surnames. "So at work, your still Dr Carmichael, but outside of work your Mrs Granger?" Daniel asked. "Yes. I know its a bit confusing but how confusing would it be for the patients if their told "Your seeing Dr Granger" and theres 2 grangers?" Zara said. "Yeah i know," Daniel said, kissing Zara. The starbucks coffee worker man looked at them and rolled his eyes. Zara noticed this. "Someones not getting any!," She whispered to Daniel, who laughed.
Zara and Daniel were on the plane. Zara hated taking off and landing. She told Daniel this and he smiled at her. The plane was getting ready to take off. Zara was practically frozen to the spot, she hated taking off and she found it terrifieng. She felt a hand hold on to her own, and she looked down. Daniel clutched Zara's hand, and didnt let go until they had taken off and were up in the air.
They had been on the plane for a while and Zara was evidently tired. She cuddled up to Daniel and eventually fell asleep on him. Daniel found this adorably cute, and put his arms around her as she slept. He flicked through a paper as she slept. The coffee man came round, and Daniel politely declined a cup of coffee. He was very careful not to wake Zara, she looked sweet when she was asleep.
They had about half an hour before they landed. Daniel was bored stiff. Zara was fast asleep. He knew he had to wake her up soon, because she couldnt stay on the plane all day. He kissed the top of her head gently. Zara stirred slightly but didnt wake up. Well, she could have been awake and just enjoying cuddling up to Daniel, but Daniel couldnt see her face.
The plane was going to land soon, when Zara woke up. She opened her eyes and looked around. Then she remembered she was on the plane. She sat up slowly. "Rise and Shine, Zara," Daniel said, putting an arm around her. "How long have i been asleep?" Zara asked. "Most the flight. But dont worry, we're landing in about 10 minutes." Daniel said. "What, but i hate landing," Zara said. Daniel just laughed. He put his arm around her and held Zaras hand as they landed. Zara nearly broke his hand when she was holding it, she was clearly terrified and trying to hide it. The plane landed and Zara breathed a sigh of relief.
Daniel and Zara arrived at their hotel. Daniel got the key to their room and lead Zara to the room. He put his hands over her eyes as they entered the room. Daniel moved his hands away and Zara looked around. It was a beautiful room - champagne and chocolates on the table, kingsize bed, massive ensuite. The best bit of all was the big balcony, and the view. The view was of the beach, the blue water reflecting the sun. Zara turned around and kissed Daniel. "This is beautiful, how did you find it?" "Well it took a long time looking. But i thought, Only the best for my beautiful wife," Daniel said, kissing Zara. They unpacked their stuff. It was quite early still and they had the whole afternoon to kill, So they decided to go to the beach. Zara changed into a bikini then put a summer dress over the top of it. Daniel put his swimwear on aswell. They wandered down to the beach, Hand in hand.
They sat on the beach. Zara was putting suncream on. Daniel watched her struggle to put suncream on her back. He laughed at her, causing a death glare from Zara. "Here, let me do it," Daniel said, taking the suncream from Zara and putting it on her back. Once he was done they settled down to sunbathe.
Zara was reading a magazine and Daniel was just enjoying the sun. Zara shut the magazine and looked over at Daniel. They both sat up. "Drink?" Daniel asked, pointing to the drink kiosk. Zara smiled and nodded. They got up and wandered over to the kiosk. "Aww, your so small without heels," Daniel said. Zara looked at him, "Either that or your some sort of giant." She said. Daniel laughed at this and got them both a drink.
Zara and Daniel were sat on the beach. They had finished their drinks and were working on their tans. Daniel looked over at Zara. He bent down and picked her up. This terrified her until she realised it was Daniel. "What you doing?" Zara asked. "Taking you for a swim!" Daniel said, carrying Zara along the beach. Zara held onto Daniel for dear life. Daniel carried her into the water. Zara refused to let go of him - she was a bit scared of seawater. Daniel leant forward and kissed Zara. She responded, not really caring about the people on the beach watching them. Daniel gently put Zara down and they walked out of the water together, hand in hand. it was getting late so they picked up their towels and went back to the hotel room.

Zara and Daniel had eaten dinner and they were now just chilling in their room. Except they wernt really chilling because it was boiling outside. Zara looked out of the window. "The beach looks quite empty," Zara said. Daniel looked up. "Shall we go for a walk?" Daniel asked. "Its half 10 at night?" Zara said. "That doesnt matter, this is our honeymoon," Daniel said, putting his arms round Zara's waist. Zara nodded. "Ok." She said, going over to put her shoes on.
Daniel and Zara strolled along the beach, hand in hand. "Do you think Poppy's okay?" Zara asked. "Im sure shes fine. The worst thing that could of happened is cherrey has clothed her head to toe in cerise pink." Daniel said. Zara burst out laughing. They wandered along together, not saying much, but just enjoying eachothers company. Daniel stopped walking and pulled Zara into a very passionate kiss. Zara responded and wrapped her arms around him. They stayed like this, on the beach, for a while. Eventually they realised that they needed oxygen and reluctantly broke apart. They started walking back to the hotel.
Zara and Daniel were lying in bed together. Zara was tired, and so was Daniel. they curled up together and fell asleep.
THE NEXT DAY. Daniel woke up to the sound of the shower. He saw that the side of the bed next to him was empty so Zara was obviously in the shower. Zara emerged from the bathroom in a towel. "Wow that is a nice wake up call," Daniel said. Zara smiled at him and went at sat next to him on the bed. They kissed until Zara got up to get dressed.
Zara and Daniel were at the swimming pool. They were happily swimming around, without a care in the world. There were a couple of slides there aswell. They looked quite terrifieing to Zara. "Come on Zara, lets go on the slides," Daniel said. Zara looked at him "Jog on," She said, swimming off. Daniel swam after her and put his arms round Zara's waist. "Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase," Daniel said, "You'll probably enjoy them!" "I dont like slides, daniel," Zara said. "Come on. We can go down together," Daniel said. "No." Zara said. Daniel picked Zara up - She was even lighter in water. Zara squealed. "Put me down Daniel!" She squealed, holding on to Daniel tightly. Daniel got out of the swimming pool. "So you want me to put you down do you?" Daniel asked. "DO IT." Zara said. Daniel threw her into the swimming pool. Zara squealed and Daniel jumped into the water after her. Zara glared at Daniel. "Sorry but your face!" Daniel said. Zara glared at him. Daniel put his arms around her and kissed her. Zara tried to break away at first but gave in eventually. They got out the pool and went back to the hotel room. They changed into dry clothes and sat out on the balcony together. "The weather here's beautiful," Zara said. "Like you," Daniel said. "No seriously, it is," Zara said. "I know - i did well picking here to come, didnt i?" Daniel said. Zara smiled and kissed Daniel, "Yes, you did,"
