"Gentlemen please join me in the dining room" Briggs called out to Mike and Jakes who were talking out on the deck. The three agents surrounded the table that had a large map spread out on it. "We have an hour till Showtime. Now I can't stress how important this operation is. It must be done to perfection."

"I double checked with the tact team. They're at the location area, place is secure. We're ready to go" said Mike

"Nice job Agent Warren. Our guy should be here any minute then we have to be out the door in the next fifteen minutes or everything we have been working on will be for nothing. We're running against the clock." Briggs said

"Paul is this really necessary? Aren't you going a little overboard about this?" Jakes asked

Briggs sighed as he turned to "Jakes what is your problem"

"My problem Paul is that you're treating this like a real operation. For God sakes Briggs, it's just a party"

"Just a party?! Dale our mission is to give our beloved friend Johnny the most epic bachelor party ever. As his best man, it's my duty to carry out his wishes to the letter. So, if you're gonna complain about how I run things then you can stay here."

"And if you do say here then I'm going to make your life miserable Dale Jakes!" said Charlie as she sat in the kitchen. "If you bail on Johnny I'm gonna make you clean the whole damn house because you haven't cleaned shit in weeks Dale"

"Was she in there the whole time?" asked Mike

"Mikey, you should know by now that I'm everywhere honey" she yelled back. Briggs laughed as Mike and Jakes looked at one another, "My lady love as spoken so what's it gonna be Jakes?"

"Man, I know not to step up to Charlie. Yeah I'm in so where is the man of the hour" Just then the front door opened and in walked Johnny dressed in designer shirt and slacks. "Who's ready to get fucked up?" he yelled to the boys. Jakes rolled his eyes as Johnny pulled him in for a hug. "Because it is your night I will allow some physical contact Johnny but don't push it."

"I won't push it if you lighten up and smile" Jakes flashed a fake smile which made everyone laugh. "Alright the man of the hour is here it is time to go" said Briggs

"You heard the man you need to go now and when you get back in the morning I will have my world-famous hangover breakfast waiting for you. And by my world-famous I mean Hectors because I'm not your mother and I sure as hell am not cooking for you lazy bums" said Charlie as she ushered us out.

Johnny reached out to Charlie, "Come with us. Paige is out of town and we're all going out. I can't leave my girl hanging"

"Johnny I'm flattered but this is the rare opportunity to have this house all to myself. Trust me you're not leaving me hanging" Charlie then opened the door pushing them out. Mike was the last to leave he turned to Charlie, "So Paige's flight gets in tomorrow at noon and if for some reason, I'm not up you think you can wake me with enough time to get the airport"

"How about I just pick her because knowing what Paul has in plan you're in for a long night" Mike went in to hug Charlie but was pulled away by Johnny. "Thanks Charlie I owe you one"

Even with the blinds closed the sun made it through hitting Mike in the eyes. Mike slowly opened his eyes trying to collect himself but the room was still spinning and his head felt like it was being hit by a sledge hammer. With little strength, he had Mike pulled himself up reaching for the aspirin that was on the bed side table. After popping two pills Mike just sat at the edge of the bed his eyes closed praying the headache would go away. He reached for his phone he saw he had two text messages. The first was from Paige saying she was on her way home and the second was from Charlie reminding him that she was going to pick up Paige. The time on his watch said elven thirty so he had some time to get decent before Paige's arrival. After sitting for what felt like hours but was just a few minutes Mike stood up and made his way to the bathroom. The faint smell of puke hit him, he looked around and saw no evidence. "At least I made it to the toilet" he said to himself. Mike then opened the window, grabbed some old rags from under the sink and wiped down the toilet before heading the shower. The hot water woke him up as he regained his senses and his headache finally began to fade.

Mike stepped out of the shower feeling close to his old self. Mike dressed then cleaned up the room opening the windows hopefully remove any stench that lingered. The upstairs was dead silent except for the snoring coming from Jakes room. The door to Briggs room opened and out stepped Paul looking like a zombie. He didn't even see Mike as he made his way to the bathroom. As Mike made his way downstairs Mike saw Johnny passed out of the couch with a bucket on the floor. Mike entered the kitchen grabbing a glass and downing three glasses of water. As he filled his glass for the fourth-time memories of last night popped up. Mike's stomach churned as he remembered all the shots he took. "never again" he says to himself, Mike grabbed a pair of sun glasses on the kitchen counter and walked out of the deck. Once he was in a chair Mike fell back asleep.

A soft kiss woke Mike from his slumber. He looked up to see Paige standing in front of him. Paige pulled away the glasses, "There are those beautiful green eyes I love so much" Mike chuckled and kissed her back. "You know for a guy who was at a bachelor party you don't look that bad."

"You should have seen me a while ago. I looked like a zombie from the walking dead."

"Yeah I Johnny on the couch you guys must've went all out last night." Mike shook his head, "I don't remember anything after the fifth shot at the first bar." Paige laughed as she sat next to Mike, "Hey as long as our bed does not smell like puke and have glitter all over it you're good"

"I honestly have no idea if we even made it to a strip club." Paige whipped her head around in anger, "Why would you assume when I said glitter I meant you went to a strip club?!" Mike again shook his head as she put on the sun glasses, "Paige I'm still too hungover for you to mess with me" Paige smile as she shrugged her shoulders, "Worth a shot"

"Well enough about me how was your trip?"

"It was just what I needed plus it was great to see the family. They all send their love by the way"

"I got to spend some quality time with Allie and Kelly. Allie told us she's pregnant again which is no surprise. Lindsay and I took Roadie on daily walks. Mike she's gotten so big they her in this Spanish/English program at school. I swear the kid's 5 and knows more Spanish than the both of us combined, and Roadie is so big but he's just as cute and playful as ever. I also got spoiled by my parents. I swear I was this close to not coming back"

"You serious?"

"Breakfast every morning, clean clothes and getting spoiled daily. I had it made but the only thing missing was you so it wasn't perfect"

"Well I'm glad your love for me made you come back and I'm glad you had a good time with the family. Hey did you happen to visit Nick and Brandi at all."

"Yes, I spent the last two days with them. I promised to bring you up soon to visit. They're doing great working together side by side for some kind of bio tech company well Nick is working, Brandi is still on maternity leave. Lucas is such a beautiful baby."

"How old is he?"

"Three months. I have to tell you I was freaked out being close to him."

"Ha I bet"

Paige took a deep breath as she look out on the ocean. "But when I held him for the first time he just nestled into my arms, he just looked at me with these dark blue eyes. Suddenly I was hit with this wave of feelings I never had before." Mike held Paige's hand as he looked out on the water. "As I watched Nick and Brandi with him and how he reacted to them I saw how beautiful it was."

"I bet it was" Mike turned Paige's head kissing her on the top of her forehead.

"Mike I'm ready" Mike looked directly at Paige with a shocked look. He wanted to speak but he was cut off by Paige, "We've talked about this over the past year. I know when we have it's been passive on my end and you say you're joking or you're just thinking hypothetically but I know you Mike. If we did things your way I would be barefoot and pregnant twice already." Paige then took Mike as other hand squeezing it tight, "We love our jobs as undercover agents it's a feeling that I love and cherish but lately the drive to do this day in day out isn't there anymore. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next which is why I went home to clear my head. When I was spending time with Lucas I realized that I want to be a mom"

"So, you want to quit the DEA?"

"Oh, hell no I still want to work and be a mom." Mike was quiet as he took in everything he just heard. Paige's leg began to shake as she waited for Mike to speak. Uneased by the quietness Paige asked, "You're awfully quiet. Has your mind changed on wanting to have kids?"

"No, it's just taking a second to wrap my head around this. I honestly thought this day would never come" Mike brushed the strains of hair from Paige's face, "Like you said I have wanted us to have kids for a long time. You're going to be bad ass mom and I'm gonna be a kick ass dad" A small tear ran down Paige's face as kissed Mike. "So, when do you want to start?" he asked

"Well I talked to Allie's doctor and she said once I stop taking the pill it should be a month or so for my body to resume ovulation but there is no risk in trying within a few days after I stopped taking it which was yesterday."

"So you're thinking what late next week?"

"That seems right so in the mean time you're living like a monk"

"Fine but you can't wear that white bikini you know how it affects me"

"Deal"

"Hey you two" The two looked to see Charlie standing by the door. "I brought Hectors"

"We're not telling them, right?" Mike asked as they made their way inside. Paige looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Mums the word got it"
