"Thank you, honey" Laura said as Jade sat two coffees on the dining table for her mom and Christian then sat down. Laura and Nick had come over early. Nick was in the living room on his PlayStation.

"You're welcome".

"So what do you think?" Christian asked.

"They're both very nice. I'd be grateful for whichever you decide to get".

"I'm not living in it, Laura. You should be satisfied with your home".

"Well the second one has the master bedroom on the opposite side of the rest of the rooms. That way Nick can have his space".

"And you can have your own space, mom. You're not just our mother, you can have your own life too" Jade said.

"I know, but I don't get out much anyways. Your brothers starting school soon and with his friends and whatever, I think that would be good".

"So, the second one? Great, I'll give the property manager a call and see how soon you can see it" Christian told her.

"Thank you, Christian, really".

"No need. You're both staying for breakfast right?"

"Yea, why not".

"I'll cook" Jade said.

"I got it, princess, go relax" he said kissing her then she and Laura went to the living room and talked while Nick played.
About ten minutes later, Corden and Isabelle came downstairs and joined them.

"Good morning" Isabelle smiled.

"Good morning. Christian's making breakfast, should be ready soon".

"Oh good. I could eat".

"Which one is this?" Corden asked Nick as he sat on the floor with him.

"Modern warfare. There's the other controller" he said so they could play together.
Camille came down just before breakfast was finished then they all sat down to eat. Laura left to get some rest for her night shift and Christian headed into work. Nick stayed since he was going to the gala with them.

"You look beautiful, princess" Christian smiled as he walked in her closet and leaned against the doorway while he watched her put on jewelry.

"Thank you, sir".

"You're welcome".

"Can you do this?" She asked holding up the necklace and he nodded. He secured it around her neck then bent down to kiss her shoulder.

"We should get going".

"Mhm" she grabbed a bag and he followed her out.

"Let's go everyone. We're taking two cars" Christian said then everyone followed him outside. He and Jade got in a car with Gregory while the four of them got in a separate car.
When they pulled in front of the venue Gregory got out to open Christian's door then they went around the car to open Jade's door.

"Thank you" she said taking Christian's hand as she got out then grabbed his arm. They waited for Nick, Isabelle, Corden, and Camille then walked past the crowd of people and reporters.

"Okay, I don't really care what you do, just try not to be disruptive. Minimal alcohol. There's a table at the front where we're sitting, it's pretty obvious. Go ahead" Christian told them before he and Jade walked off.

"Hi" Jade smiled as she hugged Ethan and Daniel.

"Hey".

"Nice of you to show up" Ethan teased Christian.
