Izzy's POV

"Have you two written your vows yet?" Cody asks as we begin to eat.

I set down my fork as I look around the room and look back at Christen.

"No."

"Yes."

"Procrastinating as always I see." Tyler says as she takes a sip of her drink and I snort.

"Cody don't stress the girls out, don't forget even you forgot to write down your vows." Stacy says as she takes a bite of her food.

"My love I definitely did not forget to write my vows." Cody says as he puts his hand on top of Stacy's hand.

"You wrote them the night before the wedding Cody." Stacy says making everyone at the table laugh. "Don't worry Bella, she gets it from her father."

"Yeah no kidding." Tyler whispers.

"You guys always throw me under the bus it's time we throw someone else under the bus." Christen says as she moves her hand under the table and one to my thigh. "Say for example Bella."

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"Kenny, Tobin care to share some stories of my wonderful beautiful fiancée?" Christen asks as she gives my thigh a squeeze.

"Gladly. Izzy and I were 7 when this happened. So we were out in the park, Izzy was riding her bike as she pulled me while I was sitting on a skateboard. So we were riding around the park and keep in mind Izzy still couldn't ride without her training wheels so unfortunately for me her dad took off her training wheels the night before."

"Kendra no." I warn.

"She was getting the hang of it so she went a little faster and for me it was fun until it wasn't." Kenny says and I gulp. "Isabella here decided to go even faster and then, then she got distracted by- you won't even believe what she got distracted by."

"It can't be that bad." Channing says and I cover my face.

"Izzy braked so quick I had to let go of the rope I was holding onto which led me falling into a small pond." Kenny says.

"So what did she get distracted by?" Channing asks.

"A rock." Kenny says.

"A rock?!" Christen shouts. "Baby you got distracted by a rock?"

"I did." I mumble as I uncover my face.

"You can't be serious." Christen says and I smile shyly.

"It was a pretty rock. I grabbed it and took it home then gave it to my mom." I say as I play my fingers. "It was a nice rock a pretty rock just like my mom."

"You let me fall into the pond." Kenny says and I scoff.

"Well I told you to not grab onto the rope. I specifically said and I quote 'Kenny I'm not responsible for injuries I may cause' I wrote it down on a paper and you signed." I say.

"We were seven! How was I supposed to know you're a reckless driver." Kenny exclaims.

"Oh please you should've known the minute my training wheels were off." I say.

I hear crying as Kenny and I continue to bicker. I get up and go upstairs to the boys bedroom.

Their soft sniffles and hiccups is all I hear as I get closer, I quickly open the door and I see my two little boys.

"Awake are we now?" I whisper.

I check their diapers as well as their forehead, they had a pretty bad fever so we had to leave them in their diapers. I grab the thermometer and check both their temperatures.

"98.6 and 98.9 that's a whole lot better that 101.3."

We also had to rush them to the hospital. It was freighting.

I pick up Asher first and he quickly grips onto my shirt and lays his head on my shoulder. Once I steady Asher I pick up Ashton. Their tiny little hands gripping onto my shirt.

"Grandpa, grandma and aunties are here. Alex and Tobin are here too." I whisper as I walk out of their room.

"Oby?" Ashton mumbles and I smile.

"Yep. Oby is here with Alex." I whisper.

I walk back down to the dining room then I head over to my seat.

"How's the fever?" Christen asks as she grabs Ashton.

"They're a lot better. Asher is a little bit more warm but their fever went down." I say as I grab my fork and grab some food.

I hear barking from the backyard which immediately turns into their paws hitting the hardwood floor. Soon enough Morena, Khaleesi, Arlo and Hurricane are in the dining room.

Arlo barks as he lays down below my feet.

"How's work going for you Bella?" Cody asks.

"Great, lately I've been working from home because of these two little guys but I'll be going back soon." I say.

"Back to work her best friend." Kenny says and I hit her foot with mine. "Hey!"

"So unfortunate that you still have to work with Claire." Christen mumbles.

"Be nice. She's nice."

"Yeah to you." Tobin says.

"You guys just haven't been able to talk to her, she's nice."

"Oh we talked to her and if I remember correctly she's not nice." Tobin says and I roll my eyes.

"Anyway, with the wedding being a month away. Christen has to go back to Utah for a bit and then she'll be back here. But we do want to talk about what'll be going on in the next couple week." I say.

"Well we're all ears sweetie." Stacy says and I smile.

"Well first of all I just want to say that I love you all so much. Thank you for letting me be a part of this beautiful family, I sincerely can't wait to be a Press." I say with a smile.

I reach for Christen's hand as I look at her and she smiles at me. Her beautiful eyes making me swoon as always.

"We're delighted to have you be a part of this family. We're all happy for you two. I think Stacy and I have been very pleased in having you become part of this family. Let's be honest Stacy and I never liked any of Christen's past relationships." Cody says and I chuckle.

"He's right." Channing says. "No one really made an effort into you know making some time for us or knowing us. You actually spend time with us and you're just a bubbly person. I don't know but we love you trust me."

"Damn Chris who'd you date?" Tobin asks and I laugh.

"I enjoy being with you guys. You eventually go crazy when you spend years with this one." I say pointing to Kenny.

"Once again, you left me to drown in a pond over a rock."

"It's a pond."

"We were seven!"

"You're a child."

"You did good Christen." Tyler tells Christen and I smile.

"I know." Christen says as she turns to me and leans in to peck my lips. "I know I did."
