"So... How's married life treating you, so far?!" Christine said to both Stevie and Lindsey.

"Chris! We've only been married for a couple of days," Stevie laughs, before she and Lindsey begin to open a few wedding presents, that have been sent to them.

They are gifts from friends of Stevie's parents, as well as a few gifts sent from Bruce and Patti, Tom and Jane, the Eagles, Robert Plant, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Burt Reynolds, Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Jessica Lange. And a few more gifts sent in from their Rock and Roll friends.

"That's not what you were supposed to reply with," Christine jokingly said, as Stevie stares at her.

"Chris... These babies have not allowed me to sleep decently since the wedding... Don't push it," Stevie exclaims, while pointing her finger at Chris.

"Someone's got those intense mood swings back again," Chris retorts, as Stevie scoffs.

"Christine... Once you've gained 50 pounds, and you can no longer see your own feet, start waddling like a fu€king duck... Then you can talk to me about mood swings... Alright?!" Stevie scoffs at Chris once again.

"Oh! And you're only six months pregnant! Psst." Christine quips, as she's only teasing her.

"Alright ladies, that's enough.... Let's open these beautiful wedding gifts... Huh?" Lindsey smiles, as Stevie just stares at him.

"Honey?" Lindsey smiles, nervously.

"Just because we're newlyweds, doesn't hide the fact that you've put me in this temporary misery," Exclaimed Stevie, as Lindsey gulps real hard, while not blinking.

"Oookay," Lindsey said, as he reaches out his arms to grab a present from the floor.

"Let's start opening, shall we, dear?" Lindsey questions in a low voice, as Stevie was about to speak when Jess and Barbara & Morris and Ruthie, all walk in.

"Mommy!" Lindsey said to himself.

"We're not late, are we?!" Barbara questions.

"No... You made perfect timing actually,0" Stevie smiles, as Christine and Lindsey give each other an equally quizzical look.

"Linds?!" Christine questions Lindsey, as she tells him to lean close to her.

"Yeah?" Lindsey questions, as he had walked over to Chris, and is leaning close to Christine.

"Is Stevie okay?" Christine questions, concerned.

"Yeah.. She's just tired from not being able to sleep. Plus... I... W-well... Haven't been much of a help in that area," Lindsey said, as he shrugs his shoulders.

"We're, uh—" Lindsey stammers, as Christine stops him, while shutting her eyes.

"I get it Lindsey... I had a wedding night once before... As you know," She said.

"Wait?! So, you and John did celebrate on your wedding night?! I thought that you couldn't stop thinkin' about tomorrow?!" Lindsey said, while laughing simultaneously, as Christine gently pushes him away, and laughs,

"Nope! We celebrated all night long... allllll niiighht!" Christine said in a singsong voice.

"I get it, Christine," Lindsey responds.

"Ooookay... But you were the one who brought it up," Christine giggles, and shrugged.

As Lindsey out of the blue, said, "Why don't you and Stevie go to the spa?! It'll help Stevie to relax, and I just have to face it... You two are inseparable," Lindsey laughs.

"Mm... Sounds fun! And I agree with you... It will help... Hopefully help Stevie to relax... And yes... You just have to live with it... Stevie and I are stuck like glue. We go together like peanut butter and jelly. Peaches and cream. Thelma and Louise," Christine exclaims, as Lindsey lets out a laugh.

"Ok, I get it, Chris..." Lindsey said, though Christine cuts him off.

"No, I can go on... We're like Meredith and Cristina... Mark and Callie. Monica and Rachel," Christine said, as Lindsey rolls his eyes.

"Please.. stop!" Lindsey laughs.

"Fine! You just have to accept the fact that I'm Stevie's person," Christine said, which makes Lindsey roll his eyes.

"What are you two talking about over there?! We have gifts to open!" Stevie said, in a much happier tone.

"I was just telling Lindsey how perfect we are for each other, and that you want to spend the rest of your life with me.." Christine nods.

"Mm," Stevie nods her head, as Lindsey starts to open a gift.

"Who's it from, babe?!" Stevie smiles.

"Mm.. Your aunt Caroline and uncle Robert," Lindsey said, showing Stevie the card.

"Yeah! That means she taped a 5 dollar bill inside the card!" Stevie shouts, making everyone laugh.

"I love that you're still a young kid at heart, TD Bird," Barbara proudly said, with her hand on her chest.

"Thank you, momma!" Stevie smiles.

"No way! I've always wanted one of these!" Stevie exclaims, as they bought them a kitchen-aid stand up mixer.

"You don't have one?!" Chris questions with a perplexed look.

"Of course, I don't... I don't bake. You bake, I cook," Stevie points to herself.

"We're a perfect match," Christine jests.

"What about me?" John said comically.

"We're just playing," Stevie said, as she winks over at Christine, while Lindsey and John just laugh.

"Oh, you kids," Lindsey's mom, Ruthie said.

"There's never a dull moment with you four, is there?" Morris, Lindsey's dad, said.

"The four of us?! There's five of us... Lindsey, me, Chris, John and Mick," Stevie exclaims.

"Sweetie," Lindsey softly said, putting his hand down on Stevie's thigh.

"Mick's not here," Lindsey laughs.

"Oh, dear God," Stevie said, looking around the room.

"Don't worry, baby... Blame it on your pregnancy brain," Lindsey said, as Stevie leans her head on Lindsey's chest, as he kisses the top of her head.

"Or we can blame it on your wild heart?!" Christine said, as Stevie and Lindsey both laugh.
