I walk into the courthouse with my heart in my mouth, clutching Zac’s hand in mine as hard as I can; I’m so grateful to have him by my side today; when we get inside, I’m shocked to see all of our family and friends waiting to show their support.

Butterfly and the CEO Chapter 48 Ellies’s Point of View. I look around the packed room, I still can't believe the amount of people that have turned up to support the Butterfly trust.

Butterfly and the CEOChapter 52Ellie’s point of viewOh my god, I'm getting married today!I spent last night at Erin and Connors place with the rest of the bridal party, a night of stories and giggles, a night that my beautiful best friend spent topping up my glass with non-alcoholic champagne.I'm lying in bed when Erin comes flying through the door.“Wake up, lazy, we have a wedding to get ready for.”She says as she pulls the duvet off me. I grin as I reply.
Butterfly and the CEO Chapter 51 Ellie's point of view. I'm still sitting on the toilet, wrapped in Erin's arms. She pulls away from me to look at the pregnancy tests again, tears in her eyes as she whispers. “I can't believe that I’m going to be an Auntie.” I giggle as I reply. “I can't believe that I’m going to be a Mummy.” Erin smiles before she says. “You're going to be the best mummy ever Ellie, Oh God, I’m so excited.”
Butterfly and the CEO Chapter 50 Ellies’s point of view. Erin stands in the doorway looking at me with a frown on her face as I reply. “Yeah, I am now. It must have been something that I ate.
