“Just because we’re in Vegas doesn’t mean I’m marrying you right away.I want my family with me when we get married.”
“Is that all you need?”
“Well, that and a dress,” she responds as she cuddles into me.
I can’t hold in the smirk as we land.Everything is going perfectly.She will be mine and married to me tomorrow evening.
The limo is waiting on the tarmac and takes us to the hotel on the Strip.As soon as we pull up, an executive hostess is there to greet us.
“Hello, Mr.Boseman and Ms.Placer.Welcome to the Lucky Dice Hotel and Casino.I’ll be here to assist you all weekend.My name is Penny.Everything has been arranged for you in our small ballroom.I’ve also placed you in an exclusive suite.I’ve texted you my number if you need anything further.I have everything arranged for tomorrow morning.”
She doesn’t give too much away, but it’s enough that Daphne is staring at her before she looks to me.
Penny leads us to the small ballroom and steps back as I look at my girl before I open the doors.
“Remember what you said to me on the plane.”
Daphne shakes her head.“Meaning what?”
“Family and a dress,” I say as I open the door.
“Surprise,” everyone shouts.
Daphne’s hand with my ring on it goes over her mouth as she takes in everyone.
“Dare?”Her eyes are wide and tears are forming.
I guide her into the room as her parents rush to her side.They pull her into their arms.Then her sister does the same.Lydia makes her way to me, with Cronus following behind her.Krystal stands off to the side.
“She had no clue?”
“Nope.How are you, munchie?”I pull her into my arms and hold her for the first time in so long.
She’s lost weight.I hate that this isn’t my vibrant sister.Her tattoos are covered.She’s dressed in conservative clothing.Her hair is all one shade and pulled into a tight bun at the back of her head.I miss my sister and can’t wait until she realizes what Colton has done to her.
“I’m good.Thank you for getting a hold of Colton so we could be part of this.I wouldn’t want to miss it for the world.”
The kids grab onto my legs and hug me.They’re not like normal children running and jumping around.They act like perfect little miniatures of their mother.
Micah’s hair is perfectly coiffed and cut into a high and tight.Michelle, his twin, has her long hair in a braid down her back.Both are dressed in stiff school uniforms.
I lift each of them into my arms for a hug while keeping a close eye on my fiancée.She’s talking with her parents, and I overhear questions that I should be answering too.Gathering up my family, I move toward my girl.
“This is my sister, Lydia, and my nephew and niece, Micah and Michelle,” I say, introducing them to Daphne.
“I finally get to meet you,” Daphne says, hugging all three of them.
My sister and the kids start to loosen up a bit.She nods to Cronus and smiles at him.
“We met them already,” Delphi says.
“You are twins too,” Michelle says.
“Yep.I told you that.”
“Except you look so alike.How do people tell you apart?”Micah asks.
“Believe me, kiddo, when they were little, I was worried I’d mix them up all the time.I thought I’d have to mark their feet with a permanent marker just to tell them apart.”Daphne’s dad chuckles.“I’m Max.”He holds his hand out to me.“Pleasure to finally meet you in person.”He thumps me on the arm.“You did good.”
