Hen Party

Neither Antonio or I wanted a hen party or stag do, but our friends insisted that we at least do something, so 8 months after we got engaged we all head to Mollys for a few drinks.

"What will it be?" Herrmann asks me and Antonio behind the bar
"I'll have a beer. YN?" Antonio looks at me
"I'll have the same" I tell Chris while balancing Lucas on my hip. Herrmann hands Antonio and I our drinks, Toni takes them and we find a table to sit at. I place Lucas on my lap and give him a place mat to play with
"So how does it feel? Next week your going to be a Dawson" Gabby says sitting across from us with Matt, both cradling a beers
"Any wedding jitters?" Matt asks earning an nudge of Gabby
"Not on my end" Antonio looks at me
"I'd be less worried if we were just going to the courthouse. I just have a feeling something is going to go wrong"
"Well it will with that attitude"
"What could go wrong? I've made sure everything's perfect" Gabby smiles at me
"I know I know"
"Everything will go to plan, don't worry" Antonio places a kiss on my temple before going back to his beer. Lucas starts to get fussy throwing the drinks mat on the floor
"Let me have my nephew" I hear Jay say coming up from behind me. As soon as Lucas sees Jay and Will he stretches his arms out wanting to be picked up. I hand him over to Jay "hey buddy, it's passed your bedtime"
"Ha I wish. He hasn't been going to sleep until 12 at night the last two weeks. Don't get me wrong once he's asleep he sleeps until 7 in the morning" I tell Jay.

An hour later Laura shows up with Eva and Diego
"YN, dad!" Eva shouts running over to us
"Hey sweetheart" Antonio ruffles her hair and gives Diego a hug "Laura" he acknowledges
"I'll pick them up tomorrow evening. Just don' be out to late"
"We won't" I try to reassure her
"Yes well considering you have the baby here I would expect you both to be leaving at a sensible time"
"Mum the baby is called Lucas" Diego corrects his mother
"Right well I'll see you both tomorrow. Be good" she gives them a kiss on the cheek before looking back to me and Antonio "I'll takes Eva's bridesmaids dress and Antonio's suit tomorrow"
"But final fitting isn't until next Wednesday" I frown
"2 days before the wedding is cutting it a bit fine. They aren't going to grow in the next 5 days. I don't even know why your having this wedding, Antonios track record isn't really..."
"Laura that's enough" Will warns
"I'm just saying that he's not had the best of luck when it comes to marriages"
"You were the one who filed for divorce not Toni, you couldn't handle being a detectives wife"
"Because my son was taken!" Laura yells at Gabby
"I think you need to leave"Voight says walking over to us
"Fine. I'll have their things tomorrow" with that she turns and leaves Mollys
"I'm sorry" Antonio turns to face me
"I knew what I was getting into when I started dating you. Crazy job hours, crazy..."
"Ex" Jay mutters under his breath earning a nudge off me
"She's worried that Antonio are rushing all of this. She's scared that I'm going to walk out of the kids lives"
"She should know by now that your not, your in this for life.....aren't you?"
"Of course I am" I place my hands on Antonio's face "I'm not going anywhere"
"Good because neither am I" Toni leans down and kisses my lips.

Like we promised Laura, we don't stay out for too long, plus Lucas has started to get crabby, so we all head off home.
I change Lucas's diaper and clothes to get him ready for bed before I can start getting myself ready for bed
"Goodnight my little man" I place a kiss on his head and sooth him to sleep before placing him in his crib. I then go to the bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth and put on one of Toni's shirts. Climbing into bed, Antonio is already there waiting for me
"I'm sorry YN, this isn't probably what you had envisioned when you thought about a husband"
"What do you mean?" I frown looking at Toni
"I mean you probably didn't want a divorced man with two kids and an ex wife who doesn't know when to stop sticking her nose into my business"
"Maybe not, but do you know what I did want? I wanted a man who would love me no matter what, a man who loves his kids, a man who trust me, a man who I can trust and I have that and so much more with you. No life is perfect, but with you I have close to perfect as possible. I love you Antonio and I can't wait to be your wife"
"I love you two YN" I cuddle up to my fiancè and fall asleep in his arms.
