"You ready to go, El?" Luke pokes his head into the bathroom, smiling as he sees Elodie putting her earring in. She looks beautiful, dressed up in a black maternity dress she'd finally ordered, her bump obvious as the material hugs her form, ending just past her mid-thigh. The swoop of the neckline showing off her sharp collar bones and just enough cleavage. "You look amazing." He comments, stepping behind her, letting his hands fall to her hips.

"Thanks. We don't go out much, which I'm fine with, but I felt like dressing up for tonight, it's important."

"That it is. We should head out to meet them though. Don't want to miss our reservation." Luke smiles, pressing a kiss to the top of her head as she sprits a bit of perfume on herself.

"I'm ready." She spins to face him. "And for the record, you look hot as sin tonight, baby." She adds, running her hands down the lapels of the blue suit coat he's wearing. The color is making his eyes pop, and it's all Elodie can do not to drag him to bed at this very moment.

"After dinner, I'll let you have dessert." Luke chuckles, clearly seeing the look in her eye.

"Let's get to dinner then." She steps around him easily, reaching for her clutch on the end of the bed. Luke's loud laugh follows and as soon as she turns towards the bedroom door his fingers have laced with hers, guiding her towards the car.

"Elodie!" She turns as she hears her name whined excitedly, practically catching Crystal as the taller woman hugs her tightly. "I have missed you, beautiful mama."

"I have missed you too, Crys." El chuckles, hugging her back as tightly as possible with her giant stomach in the way.

"And how is my sweet girl doing?" Crystal coos, her hands falling to cradle Elodie's stomach as she pulls away from the hug.

"She's a feisty one. She's using those long legs she got from her daddy to kick every inch of me possible." Elodie chuckles, "But everything is going well, and we're getting closer and closer to meeting her everyday."

"I cannot wait." Crystal grins, "She is going to be the most beautiful little lady. Well, second most, but I'd be a bad mom if I thought your daughter was cuter than my own."

"Her and Indy are going to be unstoppable together, and they are definitely going to break some hearts." El nods.

"Ya right, no boy is getting anywhere near my princess without going through me first?" Luke scoffs, his arm falling over Elodie's shoulders and they head for the door.

"Mine either. They'll have to go through the whole band, so they really shouldn't even try." Michael adds.

"You two are delusional if you think your girls are never going to find love." Crystal shakes her head at them, amused by their protective nature.

"What would you have done if our dads had said you couldn't date us?" Elodie's adds, cocking an eye at each of them.

"We'll, to start, you have never actually had a dad, pretty girl..." Luke half chuckles, "so it wasn't a problem. And your brother loves the hell out of me, and if I remember right he was pushing you to date me before you ever decided it would be okay."

"So really what you're saying is you have to decide the guy is right for our baby before she decides he is?" She asks.

"Yes."

"Arranged marriages it is then!" Crystal laughs.

"I'm not opposed to that plan." Michael shrugs, giving the host their name for the dinner reservation.
