The song ended and the couples returned to their tables. There were 3
couples at each table so everyone was enjoying themselves and having a
good
time.
“Who wants to try and pull those two apart?” Brian asked as they looked
over
to see Em and Kev in a hot lip lock.
“Can someone say get a room?” Amy asked sarcastically, while everyone
laughed.
“Shut up, Amers. Go get some from your man already” Em said, in between
her
kiss with Kevin.
“She brings up a fine point dear” Brian said, wiggling his eyebrows.
“Uh, maybe later. We are at a reception ya know” She said, feeling a
bit
uncomfortable since she still couldn’t figure out how to tell him about
her
‘situation’.
“You ok? We can leave if you want. It’s no problem”
“No, I’m perfectly fine”
“That’s good. How about I get us some wine and we can mellow out?”
“No wine, I’d rather have some water” She said as he just looked at her
for
a minute, but instead nodded and went to get drinks.
“Hey Amy, you okay? Not everyday you turn down wine” Cryssie replied.
The two had become great friends after Howie had met her and had
remained
close ever since.
“I’m totally fine. Couldn’t be better. See? Happy as can be” She said,
smiling brightly.
“You would tell me if something was up right? We are friends and all”
“Of course, I’m just edgy I guess. Lot of things on my mind”
“Okee man. Whatever you say” She replied and turned back to Howie and
their
table.
“Here’s your water lovely lady. You sure you feel okay?”
“Of course! Why the fuck don’t you believe me?” She yelled, suddenly
frustrated by everyone asking her how she was.
“I uh, I’m sorry I guess” He replied and slowly sipped his wine.
“No, it’s okay. I’m just a little on edge I guess. I’m sorry” She
replied as
something caught her eye.
She looked at her wine glass strangely as she saw something glitter.
Knowing
it wasn’t the wine, considering it was water, she looked closer and
gasped.
Amy looked up and saw Brian smile then stand up.
“Can I have everyone’s attention?” He asked and all eyes turned to him.
“I wanted you all to be here when I was able to do what I’ve been
wanting to
do for a long time now. Amy and I have been through a lot but have
ended up
with each other every time. I didn’t realize it until I gave it a
chance and
now I’m glad that I did just that” He paused and got down on one knee,
while
also pulling the ring out of the glass, “Amy, will you make my world
complete by being my wife?” He asked, looking up at her to find her in
tears.
“Damn, of course I will, Littrell” She said sobbing as they shared a
hug.
Everyone else applauded and let out cheers as the two held each other.
“I don’t think anything could make this moment more perfect” He replied
while her smile became bigger.
“I think something else could”
“What could it possibly be? We’re getting married so nothing can top
that”
“Here goes nothing. Brian, I’m pregnant. Now I feel better” She said
and
took a swig of her water as he, and the rest of the party, remained
still.
“Wh-What? Are you kidding me?” He asked baffled.
“We’re having a baby. You’re going to be a Daddy” She said giggling,
while
he jumped up excited, grabbing her as well.
“Did you hear that? I’m gonna be father!” He exclaimed while everyone
cheered some more.
“Holy shit, you’re pregnant too?” Kat asked shocked, than put her hand
to
her mouth while everyone looked at her.
“Kat, what did you just say?” Nick asked, looking at her confused. She
suddenly started to laugh as everyone looked at her strangely.
“I’m having a baby too! Isn’t this great?” She asked, giving Nick a
hug.
“This is for real right? You and me and a baby?” He asked
unbelievingly.
“UH-huh. All of it is so true” She said while he laughed and kissed
her.
“Holy shit, this has been a hell of a reception” Meg said laughing
while AJ
looked at her smiling.
“Well ya know what they say, babes. It’s never enough when it comes to
us
and our friends. We’re just one crazy bunch”
“I love you, Mr. McLean”
“I love you as well, Mrs. McLean” He replied as they shared a
passionate
kiss and the others talked about the exciting news and equally exciting
day.
