I'm stalling. I don't feel like working my sophomore project today and I don't feel like writing my essay. So what we're going to do is write another chapter to this story so my mom doesn't think I'm sitting over here doing nothing.

The Perfect Moment

Brittany smiled as she listened to her sister and her so to be husband recite vows. She wasn't sure what Alvin was saying, but if she had to go just by the smile on Eleanor's face and how her eyes were welling with tears she'd have to say it was beautiful. Her smile remained as she pretended to listen to what he was saying her eyes surveyed the area. She noticed Jeanette wasn't paying attention either. To the untrained eye it would've looked as if she were paying attention, but Brittany could see that her mind was somewhere else (much like her own).

Brittany's eyes continued to roam until they landed of Theodore. He had been smiling from the moment she saw him. She was sure that if someone walked over to him and kicked him in the shin… he'd still be grinning! She smiled wider. It was more than obvious now. She continued her scrutiny by immediately looking towards Simon. He was possibly the only person who was actually paying attention. She rolled her eyes. Typical Simon. Simon's hands rose in front of him and he brought them together. Everyone snapped out of their own worlds at the sound and immediately began following his lead.

"Congratulations you guys!" Brittany and Jeanette pulled Eleanor into a sisterly group hug.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah; let's wrap it up. I have another appointment at 10:30." The reverend said disappearing behind the curtain behind him.

They ignored him and continued. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore went off to talk about what Brittany assumed was guy stuff, leaving the three sisters to their own conversation. "I can't believe how much we've all grown up." Brittany laughed. "My baby sister's married." She smiled at Eleanor who smiled back. "And Netta's having a baby."

Eleanor's jaw dropped open. "Why didn't you tell me about this?" She whispered.

Jeanette blinked in surprise. "I didn't even tell Brittany. How'd you know?"

Brittany smirked. "I've been through it." She chuckled a bit. "The distant looks, the smile that nothing could wipe away… you and Theodore aren't too good at keep secrets."

Jeanette laughed at her sister. "Well, we didn't want to tell you guys just in case something happened."

Brittany and Eleanor rolled their eyes at their sister. "Jean, everything will be fine." Eleanor placed a supportive hand on her shoulder.

"You worry too much." Brittany smiled kindheartedly.

"Alright," The reverend appeared again. "Where's my 10:30?"

"Right here," Eleanor and Alvin push Brittany and Simon towards the alter.

They shot their siblings confused looks. "Surprise!" Eleanor giggled.

"When we booked our wedding we also booked the time right after ours for you guys." Alvin explained.

Brittany and Simon smiled at them and then at each other. "So… are we doing this?" He asked.

Brittany grinned wider. "Yeah, let's do this." She giggled.

Alex began clapping excitedly. "Yay! Double wedding!" She reached into her basket of flower petals and tossed a hand full of them into the air.

Brittany and Simon laughed. Eleanor handed her bouquet off to her sister as they all prepared for another ceremony.

Brittany giggled as Simon carried her into the hotel room. He gentle laid her on the bed and smiled. She smiled back and pulled his lips down to hers. They continued to smile as he pulled back. "These past few days have been crazy." Brittany laughed.

Simon raised his brow and stood up straight. "How so?" He asked pulling his tie loose and entering the bathroom.

Brittany sat up against the pillows. "First, my baby sister and your older brother announcing that they're engaged and getting married in two weeks." She began. "Then, when we get out here, everything goes haywire. Alex locks Eleanor in a closet, we almost break up, but then we get engaged." She wiggled happily in the bed. "Eleanor got married with pink hair, Jeanette's having a baby, and now I'm married." Simon laughed as he re-entered the room and fell back on the bed beside Brittany. "But as crazy as this trip was… it was still perfect." She smiled and gently pressed her lips to his again. She raised her brow at how distant seemed and pulled her head back. "Are you okay?"

Simon smiled at her. "I was just thinking about our future…" He shrugged.

Brittany giggled. "You mean our future baby?" Simon chuckled and nodded. There was a short pause as they thought. Brittany rolled out of the bed and went to change out of her dress.

"Which do you want?" Simon asked as she entered the bathroom.

Brittany's brow furrowed at the sudden question. "What?"

She entered the room once again now in her shorts and tank top and ready for bed. "Which do you want-- a boy or girl?"

She smiled at him as she climbed back into bed. She laid on her side, her elbow rested on the pillow and her head in her hand as she showed child-like concentration. "I don't know."

Simon smiled. "Come on, there has to be one you want more than the other."

Brittany thought for a moment. "I honestly don't have a preference." She finally answered. "I don't care if it's a boy or a girl. As long as he or she is healthy and…" She maneuvered their positions so that Simon was now hovering over her body. Brittany instinctively reached her arms around his neck. "…We can start trying now."

"Alex, I called both of your parent's rooms. No one answered." Theodore smiled knowingly as he put the phone back on the hook.

Alex wiggled around in her blankets, unsatisfied. "Could we go over to their rooms?" She asked.

Jeanette snickered from her place in the bathroom and Theodore laughed with her. "I wouldn't recommend it." He finally said to his niece. "Good night," He stood tucked the blankets around her body, kissing her on the forehead. He walked out and closed the door of the divergent bedroom heading to set up the pull out couch.

Alex pouted and continued to wiggle uncomfortably. She rolled over onto her side and then back to her back, only to rest on her other side. This is ridiculous. She kicked the blankets off her body and climbed out of bed. She padded over to the door and threw it open. She saw her uncle already asleep in bed. Old people… She walked over to the foot of the bed and climbed in beside Theodore, snuggling against his chest.

Theodore opened his eyes at the feel of added weight on the bed. He cast his eyes downward to see a bundle of pink pajamas laying beside him. The sound of her light breathing let him know she was already asleep. He chuckled to himself and wrapped the blanket around her body.

Minutes later Jeanette entered the room. She saw Theodore and Alex snuggled next to each other and both sleeping peacefully. She smiled and crawled into her side of the bed. "You're going to be a great dad." She whispered into Theodore's ear as she snuggled in behind him.

Alvin sighed in content as he absently played with Eleanor's hair. He gazed down at her and smiled. You're so perfect, he thought, running his thumb over her cheek as she slept. Eleanor shifted. "Stop staring at me; you're creeping me out." She mumbled clutching the comforter closer to her bare body.

Alvin chuckled. "I can't help it; you're so beautiful." He whispered into her hair. Eleanor let out a humored breath as a blush appeared on her cheeks. Alvin wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her closer to his. "I was just thinking…"

"Hm, and what was that like?" She giggled. Alvin smirked. "Did it tickle?"

Alvin went on. "Do you know what we should do?"

Eleanor took a moment to think. "Watch Sports Center and then go for round three?" She raised her brow and lifted her head to see Alvin's shocked expression.

"I love you." He mumbled laughed. Eleanor let out a few giggles. "But I was talking about starting a family."

Eleanor sat up with surprise still holding the blanket to her body. "Really?"

"Yeah," Alvin sat up too. "I mean, don't you want a family?"

"Of course," Eleanor broke out into a grin. "I love you Alvin." She let the blanket fall to her lap and wrapped her arms around Alvin's neck.

Months Later…

"That's it!" Brittany exclaimed. She removed the skillet from the stove and headed for the trash can. "I've had it with you, you non-non-stick little demon!" She pressed her foot on the petal that opens the trash lid. "Sayonara, sucker."

"Mommy!" Alex exclaimed running into the kitchen excitedly with Simon close behind.

Brittany looked up from what she was doing. Simon raised his brow at her. "Britt?" She flashed him an innocent grin. "Gimme it," He instructed, reaching out for the pan.

Brittany pouted and handed it to him turning her attention back to Alex. "What did you want to tell me sweetie?"

Alex smiled. "We unpacked the last box." She told her mother excitedly.

Brittany smiled. "Si, you're officially moved in!" She walked over to the sink and kissed Simon on the cheek.

He smirked as he finished scrubbing the pan. "Now we can move on to the next step." He said wrapping his arms around Brittany and pulling her closer to him.

Brittany smiled and giggled as she rubbed her nose against his. "Ahem," Brittany and Simon turned to see Alex staring at them with a smirk on her face and a brow raised. IT was one of those rare moments she looked like her father. "I'm still here." She sang raising her hand and wiggling her fingers in a girly wave.

They laughed and separated from one another as the phone rang. "I'll get it." Brittany walked into the living room and answered the phone.

Alex continued to stare at Simon as he stood there awkwardly. "What?" He laughed.

Alex smiled and propped her head up in her hands. "You want to have a baby with my mom." She stated.

Simon looked surprised. "How'd you know?"

"I'm six, not stupid." She laughed.

Simon laughed too. He looked up towards the kitchen doorway as Brittany re-entered. "Alex, is your room clean?" Alex shifted her eyes and quickly headed towards her room. Brittany smiled at Simon and skipped over to him. "Guess who's pregnant." She sang.

Simon pretended to think. "Eleanor?" He guessed.

"Yes," She tilted her head in disappointment. "How'd you know?"

Simon shrugged. "I guessed."

Brittany shrugged as her smile reappeared. "Anyway, she's not the only one." She sang again. "While I was on the phone with Ellie the doctor called."

Simon's smile grew wider as she waited for her to continue.

"I'm pregnant!" She squealed jumping into Simon's arms. He spun her around in a celebratory fashion.

"Brittany, this is amazing." He said putting her feet back on the floor.

Brittany smiled. "No, Si," She pulled him into another hug. "It's perfect."

I feel a little corny…

Shake it off, shake it off.
