"Have I ever told you how much I love you."

The chime of the bell rang through the fairly empty space of Donahue's, the light lilt of jazz that Reggie had on his recent playlist along with the soft chatters of the few patrons were the only noise that filled the room.

Blue and Ethan entered the bar, still confused from Bryce's call for an emergency meeting with them, their puzzlement only increasing when they spotted the said man, along with the rest of their friends squeezed in a booth.

What was even more confusing to the them, especially Ethan, was that Tobias and Baz were included in the meeting as well.

"You two are finally here!" Bryce called out when he spotted the couple. "Come have a seat, we've been waiting for you." he said rather ominously.

"What's the matter?" Blue asked as Ethan and her squeezed into the booth along with them. "You said it was urgent."

"Is everything okay?" Ethan asked as well, concerned.

"No, it's not okay." Bryce shook his head seriously, which was a concern in itself for the surgical resident to be this serious. "We have a serious problem in our hands, and it will not be tolerated if it's not addressed immediately."

Ethan and Blue furrowed their eyebrows in confusion, their eyes darting to each other before scanning their friends who all seemed to be putting on the best poker faces of their lives. It was not until Blue noticed her best friend trying not to giggle as hard as she could whilst trying to keep a straight face did she realize, that whatever the 'problem' is, was not actually serious as Bryce was trying to make it out to be.

"Well then, what is it?" Blue asked, turning back to the surgical resident, an eyebrow raised.

"You're wedding is in a month's time." Bryce started.

"We're well aware." Ethan replied, his heart fluttering a beat too long at the thought of their big day being just thirty days away.

"Exactly. With just one month's away, you two have no had your Bachelor and Bachelorette parties yet!" Bryce exclaimed dramatically and Ethan rolled his eyes while Blue laughed.

They should have known that Bryce was a master at these dramatics.

"You called us both here to tell us this of all things?" Ethan raised an unamused brow, making the rest of them chuckle.

"Of course!" Bryce responded. "We all know you two are workaholics and will want to work as much as you can before your wedding and honeymoon, but we can't have you two all tired and stressed out on your big day."

"And you two are in on this as well?" Blue turned to Tobias and Baz, trying to ignore the heat that rushed up to her cheeks at the mention of 'honeymoon' with Ethan.

"Well, Lahela has a point, and as Ethan's best man, it's my responsibility to ensure all the traditions are followed." Tobias answered with a shrug. "Which is why I put him in charge of Ethan's Bachelor party."

"And as your maid-of-honor, I handed your Bachelorette party to our resident party animal, Jackie." Sienna told Blue.

"You're kidding." Blue let out. "Letting Bryce and Jackie handle anything related to a party is a recipe for disaster."

"Hey, where's the trust!" Jackie said in mock offense. "When have Bryce and I not been responsible."

"All the time." Everyone answered in unison, much to all of their amusements.
