“I knew the dress would be perfect.” Monique clapped her hands.

“We decided to combine the wedding and baby shower.” Stacey waved a hand to the table in the corner of the room, heaped with gaily decorated gift bags. “We know you have probably been so busy that you have not had time to shop for the baby yet-“

“I don’t want to jinx it.” Remi settled into the chair, laughing as Kelly placed a gaudily decorated crown on top of her head. “I am planning on waiting until the little dude here reaches the six-month mark.”

“Don’t worry darling,” Leesa reassured her. “Monique provided us with gender neutral outfits. They look so cute, I fleetingly contemplated having another baby.”

“Brad would never hear of it and your biological clock stopped ticking some years ago,” Kelly reminded her dryly.

“Sadly yes,” Leesa said gaily. “Now let’s commence with the ceremony. We have a few games which promise to be fun and then the opening up of the gifts. Ready ladies?”

“Yay!”

“I promised Remi that there would be no strippers.” Wade’s eyes narrowed when the women walked into the room.

“They are not for you.” David told him with a grin. “In case you have not noticed, there are several single men in the room. And the ladies are for luck.” He eyed the men seated around the card table. “I intend to walk out of here with a bundle.”

“You obviously have never played cards with Jackson, Adam and Kane before.” Wade told him dryly. “They are going to relieve you of what money you came here with. And have you crying real tears.”

“I have been studying. Now gentlemen, we need to hurry this along as we have the real activity of the night to get to. Let the games begin.”

Half an hour later, David was scooping up his chips in delight. “Told ya.” He grinned at Wade.

“You did.” He watched as his soon to be brother-in-law swaggered over to the cabinet.

“Decent of you to let him win,” he said in an aside to Jackson.

“Figured he needs the win. Damn lawyer.”

Adam grinned at him. “My sentiments exactly.” He glanced at Kane. “I am surprised you allowed it.”

“I promised my darling wife that I would not be taking money from people with less than I have. She has me feeling guilty as hell. It takes one look from that woman and that’s that. It’s exasperating.” He leveled dark eyes at Wade. “Be warned, when they have your heart, they have you by the balls. Just saying.”

“I have already discovered that.” Wade reached for a rolled cigar, taking a sniff before popping it into his mouth. “And I am fine with it. She has me twisted around her little finger but in a good way. I cannot wait for her to say, I do.” He grinned around the cigar.

“I have been doing it for several years now and I am still loving it,” Adam remarked with a whimsical smile. They watched as David came back flanked by Bradley and Christian.

“Let’s get to the second segment of the evening,” David suggested.

“It’s the Q&A section of the program.” Kelly took center stage in the last room, with an iPod in her hands. “Now that we have been fed and duly entertained by a very provocative dance from Barry, we are ready to continue.

“These are just some questions the girls and I threw together.” She grinned at Remi who had a paper apron tied around her neck and waist, with the words: ‘Ass kicking bride’ emblazoned in red letters.

“It’s a test to see if you are going to make a good wife.”

“Bring it on.” Remi shuffled her butt deeper into the chair and stuck her legs out.

“This question is in the form of a scenario. Wade goes out of town without you and after telling you he is meeting with some investors, some nosy reporter has his pic taken with a hot blonde bitch, her arm tucked intimately through his. What do you do?”

“You mean after I march over to wherever he is and chop off the blond bitch’s hair?” she asked airily. “Why, I would then allow him to explain himself and deny him sex for a month. If- “She held up a hand as the applause and comments exploded.

“If I am satisfied with the explanation. He was held at gunpoint by the blonde bitch or- “She grinned. “That said bitch was threatening his wife – me” She pointed to herself. “And our baby. I am still going to deny him the sex, but I would not kill him or cut off his dick.”

Kelly held up a hand to stop the applause and raucous laughter. “Ladies and gentleman.” She inclined her head towards the gaudily dressed and very gay Barry.
