Piper had gotten dressed and had finished eating when the doorbell rang. Her parents were still seated at the table going over the wedding expenses. She rolled her eyes as she heard her dad complaining again about people not knocking anymore before she opened the door.

"Jasper? Since when do you ring the door bell? Don't you usually just come in?" Piper asked.

"Well, since Henry doesn't live here anymore, I thought..." he started to say stopping due to the look he received from her.

Piper was looking at him with her well-renowned look that seemed to say 'Are you kidding me?' and 'You're an idiot!' at the same time.

"Who cares Jasp? This is basically your house too!" She stated.

"Yes sweetie, you know you're part of this family." Said Siren from the table.

"Yeah, you're that son we never wanted!" Added Jake before getting scolded by his daughter and his wife.

"That came out wrong!" He explained. " What I mean is that we never planned for you to become like a second son for us just like we never expected Charlotte to become like our second daughter but that's what happened and we're glad it did."

"Aww, thanks Jake!" Said Jasper happy to hear that.

The Harts had told Charlotte and him to call them by their surnames a few years back when Charlotte and Henry had started dating. It made sense for Charlotte to address them with familiarity but Jasper still wondered why he was also asked to.

"So why are you here?" Wondered Piper.

"Well, I was thinking we could hang out today if you'd like to." He replied a bit nervously.

Even though they were now close friends, the rarely hung out alone. But now that their best friends were married Jasper figured the four of them wouldn't always be able to be together. Might as well start a new tradition.

"Umm...yeah sure!" Replied a pleasantly surprised Piper.

"Cool, wanna go to the zoo?" Asked Jasper smiling brightly.

"Perfect!" Answered the short girl before heading out with her friend.

"You two have fun!" Sing-songed Siren before the young adults closed the door.

Jake and Siren shared a smile before getting back to the papers before them.

In Hawaii

"Oh sweet ground I missed you!" Said a distraught Charlotte looking at her feet.

"Okay Hun, come on!" Chuckled Henry before taking her hand and dragging her towards the airport's exit.

Charlotte looked at him with a grim look. This man was always nonchalant about everything. Somedays that annoyed her, others she was envious of that trait but most days she found that endearing.

A slow smile creeped upon her face with that last thought. She could never stay annoyed for long with Henry.

After a cab ride, they arrived at their hotel.

"Wow!!" They both exclaimed in front of the building.

The hotel was a gift from both Henry's and Charlotte's parents and what a nice gift that was!

Entering, Henry walked towards the desk where a young lady in her mid twenties was seated.

"Hi, I have a reservation under Henry Hart." Said Henry once he had reached the desk.

As she looked up, her eyes widened when she saw the handsome man.

"Oh, hello there. Welcome to Oasis inn." She sweetly said brushing her hair with a hand.

Seeing the flirty attitude of this woman towards her husband, Charlotte immediately walked to the desk and took Henry by the arm.

"It's our honeymon." she said sweetly looking at the Redhead at the desk.

Henry couldn't help but smile at his wife's obvious jealousy.

"Oh congratulations!" said the lady embarassed. "Ah yes, reservation for Henry Hart. Room 106." She said giving them the keycard. "Breakfast starts at 7 in the hall. Enjoy your stay!" she smiled nervously at Charlotte's death glare.

"Oh we will!" emphasized Charlotte before dragging Henry towards the elevator.

Once Inside, Henry turned to his love chuckling.

"Do you know how hot you are when you're jealous?" he asked her.

Not looking at him but instead straight ahead, Charlotte only rolled her eyes.

The doors opened to their floor. As they made their way out, someone went to enter and bumped into Charlotte.

"Oh, I'm sorry miss. Lady's first." said the sweet and good looking Australian letting Charlotte get out first.

"No problem." she answered sweetly.

Henry followed shortly looking at the man with a glare.

Once the doors to the elevator closed, Charlotte laughed before turning to her husband.

"So are you!" she exclaimed before strutting towards their room.

It was Henry's turn to roll his eyes. Yet he couldn't help a smile from creeping on his face before he followed his stunning wife.
