**APRIL"S POV**


I took one last look at myself in the mirror. The white silk dress was beautiful, and fit me like a dream. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Tegan, in her emerald green gown, handing me a bouquet of ravishing flowers. I adjusted the veil on the crown of my head once more before taking Tegan's arm and walking to the back of Heinz Chapel. I peeked through the door to see the pews were packed with my family and friends.
"Ready?" Tegan had one hand on the door, the other extended for me to take.
"Ready." I took a deep breath and took her hand. As that famous bridal march began to fill the church, the doors opened, and the guests stood.
Arm in arm, Tegan and I started down the aisle toward the altar. As we got closer, I clearly saw my groom. Kris. We reached the altar and I hugged Tegan before taking Kris' hand and approached the priest. The cermony was beautiful, but a blurr. Everything was fine until the priest spoke.
"If there is any reason these two should not wed, it should be spoken now."
This was met by silence until someone in the back of the church rose.
"Because she's mine."
Kris and I both turned to see the speaker, but I knew who it was when I heard his voice. Standing, in the back of Heinz Chapel, with his jet black hair falling in its shaggy curls around his bright blue eyes, was Bryan.

I gasped as I awoke from the dream....or nightmare. It took me a minute to realize that I was shaking, and crying. I curled up with my head to my knees and sobbed.
"April? Baby, what's wrong?" Kris wrapped his arms around my shaking form and whispered in my ear.
"April, calm down. What's wrong?"
I turned to face him and told him every aspect of the dream. I told him what I looked like, where I was, who was there, everything. He looked confused when I mentioned Bryan.
"Bryan? April, that's impossible. Even though it's a dream you know it's impossible." He kissed my shoulder as I started to cry again.
"You know I'm here. Any time you have a bad dream, I''ll always be here. Always." I stopped crying at this.
Always. Hearing Kris say it brought so much comfort. Always. He said it. And, hopefully, he meant it.
After finally falling asleep again, morning came quickly. I woke up and hopped in the shower, still attempting to forget that dream.
"April? Someone is here to see you!" Kris called from the living room. I turned off the water and threw on shorts and a tee before walking into the living room, not expecting to see the woman sitting on the couch,
Jen.
"I came to catch up with you, to check on you. And I find," she paused, looking towards Kris with a look of disgust, "him replacing my twin brother. Glad to see your grief is healed."
