Cass's POV
I sigh as I pull into Cassandra's drive way. Mere had slept all through church, and the others were relatively quiet. I park behind Cassandra's van and look over at Mike. There's three other vehicles in her drive way. One I instantly recognize as Steven's truck, however, the other two I have no idea whose they are. We climb out of the van and unload the kids. We bring them inside, then set them down in the living room. Mike gives me a quick kiss before walking off into his old room to talk to his brothers. I let Ty, Danny, and Noah out of their car seats and sit them down in their playpen. I then make sure that Mere is still asleep, then I head into the kitchen.
Cassandra, Steven, Jace, and Caitlin are sitting at the table along with two girls and a guy I don't know. I smile as I walk in.
"Hey, Cassandra" Cassandra looks up at me and smiles. The three newcomers look at me, and Steven and uses the temporary distraction to death glare at the guy. I sit down next to Jace and Caitlin. Caitlin starts struggling to get out of her high chair, so I take her out and sit her down on my lap. "Hey, Munchkin." She laughs.
"Hi, Caf" I brush her hand behind her ear and start bouncing her up and down on my knee.
"So, Cass, have you meet..." I shake my head and she laughs. "This is Mike's Aunt Makayla, Aunt Katie, and Kaleb." She seems a little stressed when she says Kaleb's name. I smile and wave at them. "Guys, this is Mike's fiance, Cassidy." Mike's Aunt Makayla smiles at me.
"I've met her before. You were at Sam's birthday party, were'nt you?" I nod and vaguely remember being introduced to someone in Mike's family. Just then, Sam walks in followed by the boxer puppy I got him for his birthday last year. I laugh when I see how big the puppy's gotten.
"Hey Sam. Hey Rocco." Rocco sits down and starts wagging his tail as Sam pets him.
"Hey Cass. Where's my nieces and nephews at?" I laugh.
"In the living room. Ty, Danny, and Noah are in the play pen. But don't wake up Mere. She kept me up all night." He runs out of the room, and I laugh. Kaleb looks at me curiously.
"You have kids?" I nod. "They Mike's?" I nod again and he lets out a small chuckle. Just then, Mike walks in.

Mike's POV
I set the kids down in the living room, then head into my old bedroom I shared with Kaden and Michael. They look up and smile at me when I walk in before going back to their video game. I walk over to the TV and turn it off. Kaden and Michael make noises of protest, but I ignore them as I sit down on the futon.
"Shut it, you guys. I need to talk to you."
"It better pretty damn important for you to interrupt our game."
"Language, Kaden. And it is important." They sigh.
"Fine, what is it?"
"I wanted to know if you two would be my groomsmen." Michael gasps, and Kaden groans.
"You interrupted our game for that?" Michael slaps him.
"It sounds great, bro. We'd love to." I shake my head before turning the TV back on so they can resume their game. I leave the room and walk into the living room. I see Sam staring over the edge of the playpen at the kids, and I smile. I sneak up behind him and quickly wrap my arms around him and pick him up. He lets out a quiet scream.
"Put me down! If you wake up Meredith, your girlfriend won't be very happy." I set him down and look over at my smallest daughter, fast asleep in her playpen. I smile,then head to the kitchen where I hear voices. My smile instantly leaves when I see who's sitting by my Aunt Makayla.
