A/N: I wanted to include this when I originally had them start dating on their Italy trip. But, the chapter would have been too long. Here is Shane and Bliss's first date in Italy.

Bliss' POV

The ladies all came shopping with me to pick out an outfit for my very first date. I am a nervous wreck.

"Bliss honey, the only one who will be nervous is Shane when he sees your dress tonight. And, it is my treat. I always wanted another child. Now, I have you, Jessica, and Andrea. I love you, girls."

We all hugged Adrian at the same time. "We love you, too. And thank you for the dress."

"Let's go pay for your outfit and get you home to get ready."

Shane's POV

Kevin and my father were laughing like crazy at me. I am nervous and sweating, and my legs are shaking like crazy.

"Shane, are you seriously nervous right now? You have waited for this day since you met Bliss. It is now here, and you are twitching. I need to take a picture of this. And you are going to be more nervous at your wedding."

My father took out his phone and snapped a picture of my nervousness. "Wait until my parents see this."

"Ha. Ha. Go ahead and make fun of my nerves."

"Shane, I understand because I was just as nervous when Aris and I had our first date. Her father was no joke. Our first date was a family barbecue. I was grilled by every member of her family."

"Yeah, well, Andrea and Jessica were no joke. I did pass the grilling. It was like going to a job interview. They grilled me for several hours. But, I understand why they did because this is Bliss' first time dating."

We heard the front door opening, so that must be the ladies.

"Shane, don't come out here! You can't see Bliss yet until you are about to leave!" My mum yelled from the hallway as they walked up the staircase.

I thought that was only for weddings. Once they all went to Bliss's room, I went to my room to get ready.

"Bliss, you look beautiful. We are so proud of you. I wish mom and dad were here to see you. They would be proud too."

"Thank you, Andrea."
