《The Artist & The Q.B.》Ch. 44
Advertisement
Seeing a baby on the screen in black in white with a little heart pumping is shocking, but at the same time the most amazing thing thats ever happen to me. The doctor congratulates us and starts to measure the fetus and calculates our due date to be Dec. 28th.
Its all a blur by the time we leave. Halfway to the car I almost turn around, "I forgot to ask her if its okay to tell Mya."
"We'll tell her." He says, suddenly okay with the idea.
"I thought you wanted to wait?" I ask, confused.
"You won't be able to wait, even if she told you not to." He states, knowingly.
"Probably not, but I expected a fight." I pout, we haven't had a major fight in a while.
"I was thinking after you embarrassed me with the magazine it'd be a good idea to tell the family. The couple that was there knew who I was. Nothing is secret anymore. I would rather tell our everyone important to us before it leaks to the press."
I nod. "I didn't even think about that. How do you want to do it?"
"Tonight at Mya's we'll FaceTime my family and yours." He states, already having thought about it.
I smile, "Perfect. I just hope it doesn't get out to the media before then. I need to make up it up to dad. I think it really hurt him not to walk me down the aisle."
"We still have to ask them not to talk about it. That way if anything happens it won't be made public."
"Makes sense." I agree.
"I know of another way you can make it up to Chris." He smirks.
I glance over to him, curiously. "What?"
"I think we should have a small wedding at the house. We'll set it all up in the backyard and fly out your family and mine to meet. It would be nice. Very casual but nice at the same time."
"We're already married." I point out.
He shrugs. "I'd do it again."
I laugh. "I still have my dress." I nod, "Okay, but I don't want to have to plan this. We have to hire someone from start to finish. Mya's almost wedding was too much for me and I didn't even do anything."
"I'll handle it." He agrees, happily.
I look at him shocked. "You're going to plan it?"
He raises his eyebrow and looks at me as we pull into the driveway. "Hell no. I'll hire someone. We need a professional if we want it done soon."

"How soon are you thinking?"
"Next month. Training camp starts at the end of July and I'd like a proper honeymoon. If the doctor clears you to travel."
I groan. "No flying."
He smiles. "I'll think of something." He assures me.
He parks the car in the garage and we get out, I see the notorious stack of rugs pilled on top of the work bench. I smirk thinking about them. He holds the door for me and I watch as he takes his phone out of his pocket and puts it to his ear.
I listen to him, "Hey, want to do dinner together tonight?" He asks. There's a pause then he responds with, "We'll bring the food, don't worry about it."
He must have a positive response, because he starts calling everyone else to make sure they are available today to talk. Making sure the time change isn't an issue and that it will turn out alright he hangs up and looks towards me. "Your mom? Do you want to call her?" He asks, obviously knowing she'll be an issue.
"She still has a flip phone." I tell him, honestly. "We'll call her after we hang up with the others."
He nods and comes over to wrap his arms around me. "Don't let her ruin today." He orders, kissing the top of my head.
I chuckle. "Trust me, there's nothing she can say will spoil this for me."
By the time we leave for Mya's and pick up pizza on the way I'm starting to get anxious and nervous. We park and Truex carries the pizza and his IPad to the front door. Easton, comes out to help holding the door for us.
"Miss me?" Easton asks, kissing my cheek.
"Have you been gone?" I ask, innocently. Smirking as his eyes narrow, knowing full well that he was in Texas again yesterday and flew back this morning, he had an issue with his other house at closing he had to fly back to straighten it out.
"What have I done to deserve such friends?" He asks, the heavens.
"Hey, we just brought your fat dress wearing ass some pizza." I say, poking his belly. I walk into the house and head towards the kitchen. Mya is setting the table, I laugh as I see the silverware, nice plates, and stem wear.
"We brought pizza. No need to breakout the fine china." I tell her, smiling.
"Pizza! I was craving Antonio's!" She yells, disappointed.

"I got Antonio's." Truex says, placing the boxes on the counter.
"I meant spaghetti or chicken parmesan." She says, rolling her eyes.
"You didn't specify." He replies.
"Because you hung up before I could." She pouts, throwing a linen napkin at him.
Truex smirks knowingly and shrugs. We start eating dinner and I just want to get it over with. Its driving me crazy.
"So, whats all this about anyway." Mya asks, suspiciously.
I sit up straight, feeling outed. Then Truex answers. "We're having another wedding. One with the family. It will be small and at our house."
"Oh! Yay! When?" She asks, happily.
"I'm meeting with a wedding planner tomorrow. I was thinking early next month. If she can get it done." He replies.
"I'm maid of honor." Mya says, firmly. Looking at me, ready for a fight.
I nod. "Of course you are and Lynn can be my bridesmaid. Both of you can wear whatever you want."
"We'll, fly her in early and go shopping together. It will be so much fun." Mya, says excitedly.
"Mya, can you FaceTime mom and get her on the phone?" Truex asks. "We have to tell them the news." He explains.
"I'll call the DILF." I offer, jokingly talking about Kevin.
Mya looks ready to gag, which of course was my soul reason for saying it. "Did you just call my Dad a DILF?" She asks, disgusted.
Easton laughs. "Truex does look exactly like him." He mentions in my defense.
"I don't care. Never say that again." She demands.
Truex looks down at me. "Never again." He repeats, making me laugh.
Truex calls his father and Mya does as she's asked and her mom and Ed. They pop up on the screen already talking. I take my phone out and do the same to Lynn who takes her phone out to Dad and the Boys.
"So, we have some news." I say, looking at Truex. "You do it." I whisper, feeling my throat tighten.
"Briar's pregnant." I hear the shock and screams all at once. Mya's jumping in her seat, Lynn is an mirror image of Mya's behavior. "There's more." He says, getting everyone's attention. "We're having another wedding. We'll be flying everyone out to stay here for as long as you're able to, hotels on us, food and everything else as well. The time frame is up to you, let me know about work schedules and we can figure out what needs to be done. We meet with the wedding planner tomorrow if she can accomplish everything we need, the wedding day will be June 5th."
I hear Debbie sobbing and see her crying on Ed. "I'm so happy." She says, wiping her eyes.
I'm passed around going to phone, ipad, Mya and Easton. All of them are happy for us and I'm overwhelmed by the love I feel. By the time we end the calls its late, but I know I have to make one more. I dial Alicia's number and she answers on the third ring.
"Hey, Mom."
"Briar, hows married life." I hear the disapproval in her voice but ignore it.
"Great. I love him a lot." I say, then sigh when she doesn't respond. "Mom, I'm pregnant."
I hear her sharp intake of breath. "What?" She asks, quietly.
"You're grandson or granddaughter is due in late December." I tell her.
I hear her crying as she sniffles. "Wow. I don't know what to say."
"There's more. We've decided to have another wedding at our house here in California. If you want to come, the trip will be on us but Dad, the boys and Lynn will be here too." I warn, knowing of the tension and strained relationships she shares with them.
"Do you want me there?" She asks, simply. For a second I don't know how to respond.
"Yes, if you're willing to face them. If it makes you uncomfortable then I'd understand."
"I don't know Briar." She replies, conflicted.
"I get it mom, I do. But if you don't come for the wedding will you fly out to be here when the baby comes?" I ask, hesitantly. Yes, I'd like her at my wedding but I really want her here for the babies birth. I know I'll need her more then and not the day of the wedding.
"I'll think about the wedding, but I'll definitely be there for my grand baby. I promise you that." She states, strongly and I feel my eyes water.
"That's all that I ask for. Think about the wedding and let us know." I say, looking up into Truex's eyes. I end the call and tell him what she said.
"She'll make the right decision. She'll be at both." He comments, hugging me to him.
