It's Complicated

Chap 15 "A Baby In Need"

Bailey's POV
"I'm going to put Lauren down," I sighed. I walked into the common room with Lauren and put her in the playpen she usually sleeps in. "I love you baby girl." The rangers walked in, pretty loud. "Shhh. I just put her down to sleep." Lauren started crying. "Oh great."
"I got her," Jayden smiled as he picked her up. She instantly got quiet. "Hey there princess."
I smiled and took a photo. "My two favorite people," I nodded. "You do have the magic touch for her."
"My family," Jayden nodded as he held Lauren with one arm and put his free arm around me. "Our family."
"Yeah," I smiled. "I'm going to go and help Natalie cook."
"Alright," Jayden nodded.
I walked into the kitchen. "How's the food coming along?" I asked.
"Pretty good," Alexis nodded. "Natalie is making chicken spaghetti."

"Yum," I nodded.
"So, are we ready to jet off tomorrow morning?" Natalie asked.
"Yeah," Alexis nodded. "I really wish you can be there, Bailey."
"I know but I have Lauren and Jayden," I sighed. "Also, Mr. Shiba and I are going to elope."
"Well, we're happy for you," Emily replied.
"We don't want it to be big," I nodded. "I see Alexis stressing because of her Samurai duties, multiple nighlok attacks, and wedding plans."
"Which is why Mia is staying here to take my place as the pink ranger while we go to London," Alexis explained. "Emily is staying as well."
"Wait, who's all going with you, then?" I asked.
"Natalie, Jeremy, Dom, and a last minute tag along," Alexis looked at her phone. "You were supposed to be on the list too."
"Bailey, you should go," Jayden walked in. "We can elope another time."
"Are you going to be alright with Lauren?" I asked.
"Yes, and I have Mentor," Jayden smiled.
"Okay," I nodded. I knew Jayden would be a great father. "Looks like I'm going to London with you." Alexis smiled. "Who's your plus one, by the way?" The next morning, we boarded a plane that said Queen Industries on the side. "This is a nice jet."
"Thank you," a blonde guy smiled.
"Hey Ollie," Alexis hugged the guy. "Everyone, this is Oliver Queen, the sole CEO of Queen Industries."
"Half of it can be yours if you want," Oliver looked at Alexis. She nodded no. "Okay, so, we don't use formalities. Just call me Oliver, or if you wanna be like Alexis, you can call me Ollie."
"Thanks for doing this for me," Alexis smiled. We all sat down as we took off. "I didn't wanna pay for two flights. Once I get there I would have to get back on a plane to get home and you're the only one I could think of who can get me from Point A to Point B and then back to Point A." Oliver nodded. "Ollie this is Dom. He's the one walking me down the aisle." They shook hands. "Jeremy's the best man. Natalie and Bailey are my maid of honor."
"I told you if you ever need a plane, just call," Oliver replied.
"Alexis has never mentioned you," I replied. "Who's this guy?"
"A billionaire who saved Macy's life," Alexis sighed. "She died when I was sixteen, by the way. A year longer than your doctors predicted." We got to London and went to the bridal show. "Whoa."
"Alexis," I showed her a dress.
"I want the dress to fit just right," Alexis replied. "I don't want anything done to it."
"How about this one?" Dom asked. He held one that had long sleeves and a turtle neck. "At least everything will be covered but your hands and face."
"I wouldn't be caught dead in that," Alexis nodded. "That's not me."
"If you can't find one, Queen Industries can get you a custom made dress," Oliver looked around. "Alexis?" He looked around him. "Where'd she go?" He did another 360. "Damn ninjas."
"Oliver here," Natalie called. We followed her voice. "I think Alexis likes this department."
"Yeah," Oliver nodded. "Alexis, I can get a dress custom made for you, if you want." Oliver looked at Alexis. "You know I can do that for you."
"Ollie, you've done enough for me," Alexis nodded. "Don't worry about this."
Jeremy and I walked off. We walked up to a mannequin. "I have to get Alexis to see this dress," I replied. I walked up to Oliver and Alexis. "I have to borrow the bride." I pulled Alexis over to the dress. "What do you think about this one?"
"I think that's the dress," Alexis smiled. We had an employee take the dress off the mannequin so Alexis can try it on. It was exactly her size too! She walked out of the fitting room and stood on front of the three mirrors. "I think this is the dress." She turned around and looked at us. "What do you guys think?"
"Beautiful," Dom smiled.
"You look like a princess," I nodded. "That's definitely the dress."
"Jeremy?" Alexis asked.
"You look beautiful," Jeremy nodded. He cleared his throat. "I need some air."
"Jeremy," Alexis sighed as he walked out. "Is he serious right now?"
"You want me to kill him?" Natalie asked.
"No," Alexis nodded. "I'll talk to him later." She turned and looked at herself in the mirror. "This is definitely the dress." She looked at the tag. "This is definitely NOT the dress."
"Alexis," I sighed.
"I'm not spending $183,864 on a dress," Alexis sighed.
"I'll pay," Oliver smiled.
"Thank you," I stated.
"Ollie," Alexis looked at him.
"Alexis, it's obvious you love the dress," Oliver replied. "I'm getting it for you."
"We've talked about this," Alexis nodded.
"No, you talked, I listened," Oliver looked at her. "Your wedding is supposed to be happy and everything you've wanted. Alexis, I saw the sadness in your eyes when you saw the price." Alexis looked at herself in the mirror. "You're supposed to be a queen on the day of your wedding. This dress will ensure that."
"Fine," Alexis sighed. She changed. Oliver paid for the dress and we got back on the plane. Alexis and I sat on the far end. "I can't believe Oliver did that."
"That dress is the dress," I replied. "You can't blame him for wanting you to have the wedding of your dreams." I looked at Alexis. "What's going on with the two of you? You guys argue like a married couple."
"Oliver and I go way back. We were teens and we went undercover," Alexis sighed. "We pretended to be a couple who were shopping for wedding rings. The ring guy sedated us and hooked us up to a polygraph machine. The question was: Do you love this woman? Even though you aren't in a relationship, deep down, do you love this woman? I looked at Oliver, hoping he won't like because I could've got electrocuted." She sniffled. "He said yes." She let a tear sleep down her cheek. "And so did I. Ever since then, he never acknowledged the fact that we went through that. We went on with our lives." I hugged Alexis. "So I guess after today, I got closure. He still loves me like that, but I don't." She sighed. "I gotta talk to Jeremy."
"Let me talk to him," I smiled. We landed and went to the Shiba House. I stopped Jeremy as everyone entered the home. "What is your problem?"
"What are you talking about?" Jeremy asked.
"You walked out after Alexis asked you about her dress," I looked at him. "So, tell me, what is the real reason why you walked out? And don't say it was for air because we both know that isn't true."
"Can you please give Mike and Alexis this?" Jeremy asked as he handed me an envelope with their name on it. "Don't tell her this but I can't watch the girl I love marry the wrong man. Especially my best friend."
"What?" I asked. Jeremy walked away. I walked inside and closed the door. Everyone looked at me. "Can everyone please clear the room? I need to speak with Mike and Alexis." Everyone did with no question. "Can you guys keep an open mind?"
"Yeah," Alexis looked at me. "What's up?" I handed the envelope to Alexis and she read it. "I'll be back. I'm going to talk to him."
"What happened?" Mike asked as Alexis handed him the letter and left. "Is it bad?"
"Read it and find out," I shrugged.
"To Mike and Alexis: I'm so sorry but I can't be the best man at your wedding. I will still make your wedding cake," Mike read. "I'm sorry if I'm letting you down. If you would lie to speak with me, I'm staying at a hotel nearby. Again, I'm very sorry but I wish you two have long happy years together."
"It's that bad," I sighed. Mike and I talked for an hour. Alexis walked in crying. "Alexis, what's wrong?"
"Jeremy's dead," Alexis replied. "I need to talk to Sam and Dean."
"What happened?" Mike asked.
"He jumped from the roof," Alexis cried. "He committed suicide. I told him if he got involved with me, bad things would happen to the people I got close to." She nodded. "I have to talk to Sam and Dean."
"Alexis," Mike called as she walked towards Dean's and Sam's room. "Now what am I supposed to do about filling that spot?"
"Find someone," I looked at Mike. "I need to see Alexis because she's talking to the supernaturalists. Like, why does she need to?"
"Did he say anything to you when you two were out there?" Mike asked.
"He did tell me not to tell Alexis this but he didn't say anything about you," I sighed. "He specifically said he can't watch the girl he loves marry the wrong man. Especially his best friend."
"Jeremy's been in love with Alexis," Mike was in shock.
"And you glued the clues together," I nodded. I walked to Sam's and Dean's room and walked in. Natalie was in there too. "What's going on?"
"Jeremy didn't jump the roof willingly," Alexis explained. "He was possessed."
"Are you sure you warned this guy of every possible risk he could have just by being close to you?" Dean asked.
"Yes, and he didn't care," Alexis nodded. We walked out to the common room. "I told him everything but he still wanted to be close to me." The doorbell rang. "I got it." I opened the door to see Jeremy standing there. Alexis pointed at him and walked backwards a few steps. "You're supposed to be dead."
"What are you talking about?" Jeremy asked. "I'm standing right here."
"You jumped off the roof of a hotel," Alexis stated. "You can't be standing there." She backed up across the room as Jeremy followed her. He got halfway across the room and wasn't able to move anymore. "I knew it was too good to be true."
"What the hell do you want with her?" I asked as Sam removed Alexis from the room.
"She's our queen," Jeremy replied.
"You might have fooled Alexis with that meat-suit and played with her emotions, but I was never fond of the guy," I nodded. Natalie walked in with a silver knife. Dean got demonic handcuffs on him. "And I want you to give Crowley a message. If he ever sends a demon or himself here again, you can guarantee that they won't be alive for long." Dean left with Crowley and Sam walked into the common room five minutes later. "How is she?"
"Well, she's cuddling with Moose in my bed," Sam nodded. "I sedated her because she was really freaking out. The serum is mixed with another chemical that produces amnesia so she won't remember seeing Jeremy here in demonic form. That's a good thing." I sighed. "She's taking this fairly bad so I suggest you ease her into the wedding. Don't just push it." Natalie and I nodded. "And don't take that stuffed moose from her. She will lose it because it's the only thing that reminds her of me. Dean and I will be back by the time of the wedding in three months."
"Alright," I sighed. Sam left. "Looks like we have to do the work to get this beach wedding set up for our girl." I looked at Natalie. "I know we're up for the challenge. I even have to take care of Lauren. I'm just going to let Alexis relax for the next few months and then she'll be a princess on her wedding day."
