The Messer Bunch

A/N: Wow, it's been a really long time since I updated this one. Real life is constantly getting in the way and things don't look much better with school starting up again. Anyways, I've kind of been struggling with my muse on this story but I think I know how it's going to work out.

I've got seven kids. The three words you hear most around my house are 'hello,' 'goodbye,' and 'I'm pregnant' -- Dean Martin

"Kat, come on. We're going to be late!" Danny yelled down the hall to his fiancé. Sunday had arrived much to his dismay and Kate was fussing over the way she looked. "Kat, let's go!" He hollered again and was rewarded with her presence.

"Will you quit yelling at me? I heard you the first time." She sassed as she walked past him, her heels clattering against the hardwood floor.

"I'm sorry. I just want to leave so we can get there and get this over with." He handed her her coat and then practically dragged her out of the apartment.

"Give me a rundown of everyone who's going to be there." She requested as they took their seats on the subway.

"You ready for this? You might want to take notes." Kate rolled her eyes as he started. "Angela and Louie are my parents. She's a housewife who spends most of her day in the kitchen like a good Italian woman should. Big Louie is, well, he's a mobster with a big ego and a short temper."

"Now I know where you get it from." She winked. He ignored her and continued on.

"There are six of us kids. Ava is the oldest. She's married to Anthony and they have three girls; Maribella, Gabriella and Daniella. Daniella is the one being christened." He paused to make sure she got all of that.

"Ava, Anthony, three girls, got it."

"Alright, Michael is the next oldest. He's married to Anna and they have a girl and a boy; Isabella and Vincent. After Michael is Adrianna. She's married to Dominique and they're expecting their first baby soon. Then there's my brother, Louie. Not married and probably never will be. Next comes you and me and finally is my baby sister, Giada. Also single." Danny tried not to laugh at the expression across his wife-to-be's face. She had a deer in the head lights look.

"I'm never going to get all that right. Danny, that's fifteen people, not including us. How do you keep everyone straight?" She inquired, as she realized how in over her head she was. He couldn't bite back the smile as he dropped the real bomb on her.

"You think that's bad? Those are just the people who are going to be at the christening. There still the family dinner afterwards."
