The Bride cont…

Kris found Jordan and Kevin playing with GI Joes on the floor. "Dinner is ready." They went downstairs to dinner and Kris and Jordan explained everything. Pauly nodded in approval, and Dave and Dante just looked at each other. Scott came in and sat down. Jordan looked around and noticed they were one big happy family. He tasted his meatloaf and potatoes and wondered what Donnie was up too on the other side of the hill.

Jesse took Donnie down to the barn and handed him a bucket filled with feed. "Here dump this in that" he pointed to a barrel cut in half lying on its side. When Donnie did he was almost trample by hogs. Jesse just laughed. "In the morning you can help me clean out the barn. I have always needed another man around here." Donnie slipped and fell and landed right in a big pile of hog shit. Jesse doubled over in laughter. "You’ll get your barn legs in time."

Donnie noticed Jesse looking over towards a corner in the barn where there was hay piled up. "What are you looking at Mr. Smith?"

"Hell Donnie call me Jesse, I’m only six years older than you." Jesse smiled. "That is where I caught Tiffany and Kevin trying to have sex." Jesse smiled again. "That is the same corner where Tiffany was conceived." Jesse went on to tell all the things about Tiffany that Tiffany didn’t want him to know. He told him about the New Kids phase, finding her having sex with a cop in Marietta in the back of a patrol car, how she almost flunked out of college, how she ran her car into the river and all the stunts her and her friends pulled in high school and college. "That Kristin isn’t such a saint either." he proudly pointed out. "Hell, Kris and I made out once a few years ago." Jesse was so proud of this it confused the heck out of Donnie. "I had sex with her best friend Maria just a few days ago." He handed Donnie a bucket of water. "Make sure you don’t fall down this time."

"OK" Donnie said in awe. He couldn’t believe these things this guy was saying about his own daughter. And to be proud of it was even more mysterious.

"Well, it’s grub time." Jesse headed up towards the house. "I’m sure you know by now the only thing Tiff can cook is frozen pizza, toast and Hamburger helper."

Donnie laughed and shook his head. He had figured that one out the hard way, when Tiffany tried to make stir fry she almost burnt the house down. "Yeah, I hired a cook"

When they came in Tiffany had the table set and had attempted to cook steak but she had laid out meat, cheese, bread and mayo. The dogs wouldn’t even touch the steaks. Donnie heard a snort come from downstairs. "What’s down there?" he asked.

"Oh, that’s Edgar. Tiffany’s 12th birthday present, he’s a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig." Jesse said proudly.

Donnie looked stunned and wondered what Jordan was up too.

Pt 29

Donnie woke up and looked straight up to the ceiling where he saw himself, only 10 years younger, looking back. He was so overwhelmed that he didn’t notice that the night before, and Tiff must have forgotten too. He rolled over and looked at Tiffany. Donnie couldn’t believe he had finally met the girl of his dreams. She opened her eyes and looked at him. "I love you," he said softly "but honey, can you please take that poster off of your ceiling?" He smiled as her eyes got huge remembering that it was there. "Oh, and even though it is cute can you please do something with my stuffed doll thingy?"

"Oh, gee, I am so embarrassed." she jumped up. Almost stepped on SugarPlum, her boxer basset hound mix. She could hear her dad’s truck start up and leave. "Do you want to go see Kris and Jordan?"

"Yeah, I’d like that." Donnie got up and got dressed. Tiffany started up the VW and drove over to Kristin’s house. Jordan and Scott were under the hood of Scott’s 69 Chevy. Donnie walked over and joined them. He and Jordan exchanged glances. "Well, how’s Kris’s family towards you?" Donnie asked when Scott went into the house to get something.

"Surprisingly good. It is scary really." Jordan smiled, "I have never felt so at home in my life." Donnie and Jordan hung out all day together and even went for a walk in the woods. That night some of Kris and Tiffany’s high school friends were coming over. They couldn’t wait to see what they would be like, well, in an informal setting anyway.

The girls got into their pajamas. They started the movie and about half way threw it they decided to get some snacks. They girls left to go get snacks. Tiffany was wearing Pooh pajamas and tigger slippers, Kris was wearing Power Puff girls long underwear and hot pink tennis shoes, Maria had her hair in curlers and a mask on, and Julie was wearing Sweat pants and an old NKOTB T-shirt. Jordan looked at Donnie and shrugged his shoulders. "Small town living?" he said.

They stayed about a month in Ohio, just until Kris’s divorce was final and then went back to Boston. Jordan and Donnie had learned how to ride a horse, milk cows, and pretty much do everything that needed to be done. When they got back to Boston, everything had calmed down. Now Jordan had to deal with Evy.

Pt 30

Since the whole world knew about them, Kris just moved in with Jordan and decided to sell the house. She was unpacking her stuff and noticed that his house was, well, a guys house and she would have to go shopping for decorative stuff. One the way out she noticed Evy pulling in. Jordan wasn’t home. "Uh, hi Evy, Jordan isn’t home at the moment."

"What? You living here now?" Evy asked getting Dante out of the back seat.

"Yes I am." Kris said defensively. "I hope you don’t have a problem with that." Kris had a very snotty tone. Jordan had told her not to let Evy get the upper hand.

"Well, I hope you’re happy this way because he will never commit to anyone." Evy was getting a fighting tone. She looked Kris up and down with attitude and disgust.

"Oh this diamond on my hand says otherwise." Kris and Jordan had gotten engaged the night before. "You’re just upset that you couldn’t keep him. The way you treated him, you will never keep a man." Kris was rubbing it in Evy’s face a bit.

"Well, since Jordan trusts you, I hope you don’t hurt him like you hurt Bryan." Evy got a satisfied smile on her face. "Because when you hurt him, he will come running back to me." Evy got in her car after settling Dante in his playpen in the house. "Oh, tell Jordan to call me it is VERY important." Evy threw her head back and laughed. She couldn’t wait to tell Jordan the news.

Kristin had no idea what that was about and just wrote it off to Evy just trying to freak her out. She went inside took off her jacket and picked up Dante. She knew she had to tell Jordan sometime. She was so afraid she would lose him because of it.

Pt 31

Kristin had dinner made. She made fettuccini Alfredo with chicken breasts from her grandfather’s recipe. She set the table with the best china, she had to go buy the stuff to cook with and the china because Jordan didn’t have anything. She had crystal out and a fine bottle of wine and sparkling grape juice. When Jordan came home from watching football with the guys she made him go take a shower and put on something decent. Kristin was wearing a long black slim spaghetti strapped dress that was low cut and the diamond necklace she had bought earlier that day. She had on high heels and had her auburn curls up.

Jordan came downstairs and gave her a hug and a kiss. "What’s this about?" He asked curiously as he pulled out her chair.

"Let’s eat and then I’ll tell you." she gave him a nervous smile. They ate and made small talk, she mentioned Evy needed to talk to him about something. They had a wonderful dinner. She gave him the nervous smile again. "I am pregnant." she said, she watched his face glow. "Five months pregnant." His face fell. "I found out this morning when I had my yearly, I don’t have my periods very often so I didn’t notice." She had a tear run down her face "I will understand if you don’t."

He cut her off "honey, I will raise that baby as my own ok?" He smiled, yeah it made him a little nervous that he might have to share that baby with Bryan, but he knew they would get full custody because of the one time Bryan abused her. "After all, Bryan is on probation for 3 years, and you will definitely get full custody."

Kris smiled "are you sure Jordan?" She looked in his eyes and he could tell she was afraid to lose him.

"I love you, I will love that baby the same as I love Dante." He walked over to her and kissed her than bent down and kissed her stomach. He took her upstairs and made love to her.

Pt 32

"Hello" Evy answered the phone, she knew it was Jordan.

"Evy what do you want?" he asked aggravated that he even had to talk to her.

"We need to see each other in person." she demanded.

"Why is that?" he asked.

"Because it is extremely important." She was getting upset she could hear Kris in the background talking to someone. "Meet me at Bull n’ Finch in an hour"

"Fine" he hung up the phone and looked at Tiffany and Kristin. They were deciding how to decorate the nurseries. They had gone through everything together, why not pregnancy too. He looked towards the kitchen and saw Donnie talking on his cell phone. Donnie was trying to get out of a contract for a movie that was to be filmed the week of Tiffany’s due date. He bent down to kiss Kristin "I have to go meet Evy, I think it’s about Dante."

Kristin rolled her eyes. "OK." she watched him leave. "I love him so much," she said to Tiffany "I don’t know what I would do if I lost him."

Jordan walked passed all the tourists walking threw "Cheers" as they called it. He found Evy and sat down, she had already ordered. "What do you want? I have stuff to do."

"Well, since you are being that way about it, I guess I’ll just get down to it." Evy remarked sarcastically. "Remember when we had sex a few months ago." Evy got a satisfied smile. "Well, that resulted in a baby, I am having another one of your babies."

"What?" asked Jordan shocked, he had used condoms and knew she was on birth control. "Well, I want proof and a paternity test." He knew she had been fucking around with several other guys. He wouldn’t even mention this to Kris until he was sure it was his baby. "I’ll be at the hospital tomorrow for the tests, you had better be there." he got up and walked out.

Pt 32

Two weeks later

Kris was folding laundry and Tiffany was looking through a baby name book and watching America’s Most Wanted. "Why did you let Donnie get you into that show. Jordan watches it everyday too." remarked Kris. The phone rang and she picked it up "Hello, Hello," she got quiet.

"Kris this is Evy. Is Jordan there?" she asked, Kris thought Evy sounded way to nice today, most days she just demands to talk to him. Kris told her not that he was with they guys. "OK, I’ll call his cell phone then."

A few minutes later the phone rang again. "Hi Mrs. Knight?" She corrected the man on the phone saying that the wedding wasn’t until next week and he continued "We have established paternity and the baby is 99.9 percent Mr. Knight’s child." the guy on the phone must have assumed that she was the mother or else he wouldn’t have told her such confidential information.

"OK, I’ll let him know." Kris slammed the phone down. Tiff looked up and asked what was wrong. "Jordan got someone pregnant. I bet it is Evy" Kristin had tears rolling down her cheeks. "I can’t believe he didn’t tell me something that important."

Tiffany gave Kris a hug "I’m sure there is a good explanation, maybe he just wanted to be sure before he told you and you got upset." Kristin could tell that Tiffany had known about this.

"You knew? You knew about this and you didn’t tell me?" Kris raised her voice. "Some friend you are."

"Kris, Jordan told Donnie and told Donnie not to tell you so Donnie told me and made me promise not to tell." Tiff defended herself. "He didn’t want it to upset you or the baby."

"Still, you should’ve told me." at that moment Jordan walked through the door. "Jordan did Evy call you." Jordan nodded his head yes. "You should have told me about the baby." Tiffany left as quickly as she could. There was a fight brewing. "Why didn’t you tell me." She had tears pouring down her face.

He walked up to her to hug her and she pushed him away. "Kristin, I love you and I didn’t want to upset you, not unnecessarily anyway. If the babies wasn’t mine then you would’ve had a lot of stress that you didn’t need." He had a tear run down his face. "I didn’t mean for you to find out this way." He sat down next to her and slid his arm around her.

"Are you going to leave me?" she asked in between sobs. "She is having your baby."

"No, I’m not. How dare you think that." He kissed her on the cheek. "I am going to marry you on Saturday and we will have a big happy family." he smiled at her "Dante, the baby you are caring and Eve’s baby." He gave her a hug.

"But we have to share with Evy." Kris cried, "I won’t be their mama."

"I just talked to Evy, she is moving to Spain to take care of her grandmother and she is giving up all rights to be the mother." Jordan said "We have already signed the papers, and when her baby is born. We get full and permanent sole custody of him and Dante." She looked at him confused. "Evy never really wanted kids and she would rather me take care of them with a mother."

"You mean, once that baby is born she is out of the picture?" asked Kristin confused.

"Yes, and you and I can be together with one big happy family." Jordan smiled again. "And my lawyer talked to Bryan and Bryan has agreed to let me adopt your baby."

Kris smiled at Jordan again. "You mean we can live happily ever after?" Jordan nodded his head and kissed her.
