"What do you mean you have to leave already?" Bailey whined, he had hoped that Aubrey would be making him something to eat that morning but she had informed him that she was going to meet up with Logan so that they could get ready. Aubrey looked up from her seat and glared at her brother.

"I'm not your servant Bailey, you can do it yourself."

"Do you know how difficult you're making my life for me!" Bailey cried dramatically which made Aubrey giggle at how silly he looked.

"Bailey, you can make your own food." Sinead chastised her son who smiled at his mum innocently. "Get ready to leave darling, I'll be waiting to see you on tv if you don't drop by." Aubrey allowed her mum to kiss her cheek. "I just know you'll look gorgeous."

"Debatable." Bailey mumbled under his breath, luckily no one had heard him as he knew that he would most likely get into trouble.

"Thanks mama, I'll see you later Baz." Aubrey said as she got up and grabbed all of her things that were all in a bunch on the couch, not that she needed a whole lot. Everything was waiting for her where they were going to get ready.

"See you this arvo, Aubs."

Logan, Aubrey, Tiff, Tara and Lou. The partners of JJ, Josh, Easton, Bailey  and Jack Macrae respectively were all getting ready together, there were other 'wags' from other teams floating around and they all mingled feeling excited for the night ahead, getting dressed up is always fun.
"I feel like a princess." Aubrey laughed as did the hairstylist, Ruby. "So you guys do this every year?"

"Mmhmm." Logan replied, she wasn't able to talk much as her own makeup artist was doing her face and she didn't want to mess it up. "You get used to it."

"This is awesome, I actually look pretty now." Aubrey cheered and got a light slap from Tiff.

"You're beautiful anyways, now hush and keep getting ready. Do you want a champagne whilst we wait?" Tiff questioned, though she was already handing her the glass not leaving Aubrey much of an option.

"Thanks, you must be fuming you can't drink." Aubrey said and motioned towards the baby bump that was obviously only starting to grow and grow so that it was noticeable.

"You'll have to do it all for me then."

"We'll take that challenge for sure." Lou downed her glass of champagne and they all laughed at her, Tara quickly following suit and sculling her own. "It's a day to let loose and have fun."

"Amen to that." Tara agreed.

"Don't you guys ever worry that so many people are watching on and judging you?" Aubrey asked, she remembered year after year that her and her mother would do exactly that.

"Sometimes, you just have to remember that you're beautiful. Also I usually have Easton all in my ear reminding me of how pretty I am." Tiff smiled as she thought about her husband.

"You guys are too cute, don't worry about what they think. If Josh doesn't remind you how good you look then we will." Logan said and mimed blowing her a kiss.

"Thanks bubs, much love."
