Okay well….here goes the new story. Enjoy

Chapter 1: So it Begins

As the weeks passed by things were going back to normal, the guards on Beth had been pulled much to her enjoyment. Ryan and Coraline had been spotted in Alaska; keeping on the move they were always gone before word got back to Josef or Lance for that matter where they were. As it seemed Coraline and Ryan were sticking to their words, not that anyone believed them but Beth refused to live her whole life guarded, especially when her guards started to gain attention at work.

Beth was having lunch with Candice that day, going over wedding plans. Candice was doing a wonderful job as maid of honor, she made everything easy for her, but then with how she and Mick had divided things it was going to be simple and sweet.

"We need to get the final dress alterations finished, so that can be crossed off the list. Then you need to tell me if you want us in brides maids dresses or not."

Beth had previously said she wasn't sure, with it being so small she could see everyone wearing what they wanted but she had also seen one dress design she thought would look beautiful on everyone.

"You're my maid of honor, what do you think?"

"I think it's your wedding. We will be happy to wear whatever you put us in, because I'm sure you would never put us in some monstroscitity."

Beth giggled, "No I wouldn't do that to you."

"Didn't think so," Candice smiled as she looked over the rest of her checklist. "We have flowers picked out, your bouquet will be freshly made day of, I've talked with Josef and his garden staff will be there the day before." Candice checked a few more checks, "I have the bachelorette party planned, and Josef is taking care of Mick's party."

"I'm sure he is," Beth could just imagine it with naked or half naked freshies draped all over. She didn't care, she knew Mick would never cheat on her; a fresh drink wouldn't hurt her she knew where his heart was.

Candice gave her a wink, "Don't worry, Coop and Seth are going remember so Josef has to keep it rated."

Beth could only laugh at the thought of Coop walking in and seeing Josef's many freshies. "Yeah I guess, but I don't care, I trust him. I want him to have fun."

"I don't know what Josef is planning but we will have fun."

Beth could only smile at her excitement of having it planned. Candice returned to her list as she took a bite of her salad, "Mick is handling music," Candice looked to Beth for confirmation.

"Mick is handling the music selection, their suits, the rings and the honeymoon."

"Good then I think we have almost everything covered," Candice folded her list away. "So where is he taking you?"

Beth shrugged her shoulders, "He won't tell me. He won't even give me a hint so I could know what to bring or do some shopping before."

Candice laughed, "Mick will make sure you have everything you need."

"I know, I'm just so anxious. I want it to be for us, and knowing Mick he might make it for me."

"I don't understand."

"Yes someplace tropic would be beautiful, but I'm going to marry a vampire I don't want him irritated by the heat. As much as I enjoy going out on the beach in the sun, I would rather go at night, that way Mick can be by my side."

"I'm sure he will be fine. Where ever he takes you I'm sure it will be beautiful and well thought out so just go with it."

Beth gave her a smile as they continued to eat, "So anything new with your love life?"

Candice gave her a bashful smile making Beth's eyes go wide Candice wasn't one to blush, "Okay do I even want to know?"

"We've been trying new things," was her simple explanation.

"Okay minus that particular area, anything else new? Has he gotten a clue yet?"

Candice shook her head laughing, "No, but I don't mind."

"I know you don't," Beth rolled her eyes; "Vampires can be so dense sometimes."

Candice could only laugh as they continued their lunch. More plans for the wedding were discussed, a trip to get some sexy garments for their honeymoon wherever it would be planned, before they finished up and went back to their much less exciting paper work.

*****

Coop was sitting in his office finishing paperwork for the police. His company had just brought an end to one of the largest identity theft scams in over 5 years. He was just getting ready to call it a day early and go see if Danielle could use a study break when his phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hey Coop, it's Mo." Coop sat back down in his seat. "Listen I know our last phone was more…yeah this is about work."

Coop remembered their last call well, him informing her he was no longer available to meet up for the occasional mutual stress release.

"What is it?"

"Come on, don't play stupid. Your news buddy, I want you to do an interview."

Coop rolled his eyes, "I don't do interviews."

Mo gave a huff, "I know you like your privacy but think about the publicity it would give your company. Besides this story is going up one way or another and you know its much better for you if you cooperate."

"You always get your story don't you?"

"Always. So what time are you stopping by?"

Coop looked at his watch, "I can come by now I was just about to leave."

"Good see you in 15."

Before Coop could say anything else Mo hung up on him. He grabbed his coat and keys once more and headed for the door.
