-Chapter15-
- Surprises! -

I was sitting in the living room on the couch, working on the baby journal that Eve and I had started. It had been about a month or so since the baby shower. Eve, myself, of course my mother, and all the girls involved in the wedding, were suppose to be leaving in the morning for our 'early bachelorette party'. Shane, Michael and all the guys would be leaving in the morning also for their 'early bachelor party'.

I stopped what I was doing when I heard a knock on the front door. "It's open!"
Eve came walking in at that moment, and over to me. "Hey CB what you doing?"

"Working on the baby's journal a little bit. You already packed?"
"Yup I was packed last week." She said with a laugh.
"Same here I can't wait."
"So where are we going anyways?"
"Malibu."
"Are you serious? Ameile is going to let us go there?"
"Yes. When I talked to her she said that she already had the hotel and stuff booked for us. It's oceanfront, has a spa, valet parking, and the best is it's a private beach."
"This is so cool. Where are the guys going?"
"Vegas."
"Oh. Not such a good idea for the guys to go there. They'll spend all their money gambling."
"I know. I know. I've already talked to Shane about it though. He can't spend that much."
"That's good. Can't say the same for Michael. But, I will give him a talking to when I get back to the house."
"Good thinking. Oh guess where their staying at."
"Where?"
"The Luxor Hotel & Casino. I told Shane that if they went to see Criss Angel to take some pictures."
"That is right. He has that show there called 'Believe'. I love watching him."
"So do I."
"So what time are we leaving in the morning?"
"I think the plane takes off at 7:30 if I'm right. So we need to leave here at like 5 to be sure."
"That means I have to go to bed early."
"Sure does. Shane and Michael's plane leaves at the same time so we can all ride together."
"That's good."
"Oh can you do me a favor?"
"Sure what you need?"
"I need everyone that is going to come over to the house today. I have to give them all their stuff."
"K. That's easy."

While Eve called my mom and dad, I shut the computer down and went upstairs. Once in the spare bedroom I pulled all of the bags that I had made, out of the closet and set them on the bed. I had the idea to make everyone involved in the wedding a bag full of goodies. And, it didn't cost that much. Most the things I got on sale. Plus you save a lot when you buy in bulk.

For the Maids of Honor, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, Eve and myself, I had a duffel bag with each persons name embroidered on the front. I had two types done. Both were black, but one had pink polka dots, and pink trimming. The other was the same, just green.

On the inside was: 1} the plane ticket for that person -since no one knew where we were going- 2} a pair of black flip flops with the persons name embroidered on it in green. Mine and Eve's were white with our name in an aqua blue. 3} a hoodie and short set. On the back it either had: Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride, Bridesmaid, Flower Girl, or Bride to Be written in crystals. 4} a tank top and short set. It was black and had what the person was written in blue crystals. 5} a zip up case for anything from make up to a hair dryer. It was pretty big. On the inside was a mask and all the things to do a pedicure. Not to mention the black, white, pink and green polka dots went very well with the color scheme for the wedding.

For the flower girls, I put in a few extra goodies. I had went to Build-A-Bear with Eve, and had both my girls a bunny made. They were so cute. It was a white bunny, with different colored flowers in all different sizes printed on it. There was also some coloring books with crayons stuffed in there. They had to have something to do while the rest of us did, right?

For the guys it was the same thing pretty much. The duffel bag was black with the guys name written in white. On the inside was: 1} the plane ticket to Vegas 2} a few disposable cameras. 3} a pair of black flip flops 4} a sports mug with the person's name inscribed on it with the date of the wedding 5} a key chain that doubled as a bottle opener and last but not least 6} a t-shirt. The grooms' were white with 'Groom' printed on the left side. My dad's was the same. Except his had 'Father of the Bride' printed on it. The Groomsmen's were black with 'The Groomsmen' printed in red. The Best Man's was black with 'Best Man 2010' printed in white. The Ring Bearer's was the cutest. It was white but had 'OCCUPATION: bling bearer JOB DESCRIPTION: 1. suit up 2. guard the bling down the aisle 4. eat cake 5. slow dance with the bridesmaids 6. break dance 7. pass out under the table

In the 'bling bearers', I did the same as the flower girls bags. I put some coloring books and crayons along with a bear from Build-A-Bear. Theirs were different though. It was the same bear, but instead of flowers printed on it, it was camouflage.

Eve came up when I was pulling the last one out, and setting it on the bed.

"What's all of this?" She asked with curiosity.
"A surprise. Is everyone on their way over here?"
"Yeah. They should be down here any minute."
"K. Well these are gonna stay up here til everyone gets here. Then you, Shane, and Michael can bring them down."
"That's fine."
"K. Let's get back down there before everyone gets here."
"Sounds good to me."

We both walked down to the living room and cut the TV on once we were seated on the couch. Shane and Michael were the first ones to get here. Shane took a seat beside me on the couch, while Michael did the same on the other with Eve. About 20 minutes later everyone else came in. It was a house full, but I needed them here. Once everyone was seated, I began a speech.

"Ok. Cool it. I need to tell yall something." Everyone quieted down, and I started again. "Now everyone knows that we are leaving in the morning. I know yall don't know where we are going but you will find out soon enough. First I wanted to thank you all for being in the wedding, and I wanted to tell you that I love every single one of you. Now as you know this little trip we're taking is going to be the bachelorette party for the girls, and the bachelor party for the guys. I don't think everyone has packed what they need for the trip so…Shane, Michael and Eve." They all looked at me. "Eve, you know where the bags are, take the guys up there and bring them all down here please."

"Will do. Be right back." She replied with excitement.

Once they were upstairs, everybody looked at me. "What was all that about?" Mom asked.
"You'll see here in a minute. I don't want yall to argue when you get this either. Ok?" They all shook their heads yes.

A few minutes later they came back down with all the bags.

"Baby where you want these?" Shane asked.
"Put em over here." I pointed at the end of the couch near the fireplace. After dropping all the bags on the floor they went back to their seats.

"Now, remember what I said. No arguing, and don't open it til I tell you to. Imma call your name and come get this. Ok? Alright…" I picked up a bag. "Eve this is yours." She came over and got it then went back to the couch. I picked another up. "Daddy"

It went on like that til all the bags were to their rightful owners. I had set mine next to Shane. I looked at everyone. "Everyone got theirs?" Everyone's head shook. "Alright. Go ahead and open it." I said then walked over to sit down next to Shane.

My dad was the first to look at me in shock. "Claire are you sure about this?"
"Yes daddy. Have fun, but don't spend too much. K?"
"Alright I wont. Your momma might kill me, but ok."
"What you mean I might kill you?"
"I'm guessing the bachelor party is in Vegas."
"Do what!"

Well momma was kind of mad. She would get over it though, as soon as we were in Malibu. Shane looked at me then.

"We're going to Vegas?"
"Well the guys are. Us girls are going to Malibu." I said with a smile.
"I can't believe this."
"Well believe it. Oh, and there's an extra set of tickets in the guys pack. It's for Criss Angel's show 'Believe'."
"But that is at the Luxor Hotel & Casino." Robert, Tabatha's husband, said.
"That it is. Where do you think you are staying?"
"We're staying at the Luxor?" Michael asked.
"Yes. Now is there anymore questions?"
"Now. I guess not." Shane said while turning to me. "Thanks babe." He gave me a kiss.
"Your welcome. But, you best thank Amelie. She set all this up."
"That I will. Whenever I see her again."
"Now, Elisabeth, Savannah, Brealyn, Jacob, and Brandon. The crayons and coloring books are for while your gone. I guess you can use them on the plane too, if you want."

Elisabeth and Savannah came over to me at that moment. "Thanks Claire. I love the teddy bear." Elisabeth said.

"Aww your welcome sweetie." I said and gave them both a hug."
"Can I take it on the pwane?" Braelyn asked.
"Yes you can. Just make sure you don't loose her. She'll be really sad if she misses all the fun."
"I wont." She said holding the bear close to her.
"Now since we all know where we're going, we should go pack." Natasha said.
"Yeah. I have to take somethings out and add to it." Sabrina said.
"Well if you don't have bathing suits, we'll stop somewhere and pick some up." I said.

After all of the 'Thank You's' and 'We'll see you in the morning's' were said, everyone left. Which left me and Shane by ourselves.

"I think it's about time to go to bed." Shane told me.
"You read my mind. Imma go take a shower, then hitting the sack."
"I'll join you. We have a big day ahead of us." He said while helping me up off the couch.
"That's right. Before I forget. When ya'll go to see Criss, take a bunch of pictures. I want to see."
"Will do." We were walking up the stairs at this point. "It's gonna suck though."
"What is?"
"Being away from you."
"Aww babe. It's ok. You can call me every night before you go to bed, and every morning before you leave out though."
"True but still."
"Have fun. Ok? I know I'm going to have some. I'm hitting the beach and the spa when we get there."
"Well you call me as soon as you land. Ok?"
"Will do. You do the same. K?"
"Right back at cha." He said with a smile.

After showering and changing, I climbed into bed. I was out before Shane cut the light off. That was one of the funnest days I've had. It's like Christmas in May.


A/N: I know this is a little short, but, I'll have a longer one up as soon as it gets done. REMEMBER: leave some loven'
