Belong to J.E. I'm just having fun.

I want to give a big Thanks to Christi for all of her help!

Big Thanks to all those who reviewed, I love reading them!

The Question still stands on what the twins will be and I am also looking for name suggestions. I want to know what you want.

ENJOY!

Chapter 11

Everyone ate making small talk; there was a nice hum of excitement in the air. At our table our moms were both planning a wedding; I mentally gave an eye roll.

"Ladies, we love that you are excited about the wedding, but this will be our wedding and we want to plan it. Of course your input will be welcomed." Carlos told both of our mothers. God I loved this man. He squeezed my hand and gave me a light kiss.

"Of course Carlos we are just excited and want the best for both of you." Maria told her son.

We finished the meal and Ella had servers clearing all the tables so she could sit with her family and enjoy. The Servers then brought out lovely pastry trays with an assortment of goodies on them. Then they brought out carafes of coffee and set them on all the tables along with cream and sugar. Ella and Carlos really out did themselves.

Maria was the first to pour herself a cup of coffee. I wanted to enjoy the smell of it. Then the smell hit me. Uh Oh!

"Carlos, where are the bathrooms here?" I asked trying not to draw attention to why I needed to know.

"Babe, over in that corner. Are you ok?" He asked.

"Mmmhmm." I said as I got up and as calmly as I could headed towards the bathroom.

I was hovering over the toilet waiting for something to happen. I got up and sat in a beautiful chair that was in there. I was taking deep breaths, trying to calm down my stomach. I heard the door open; I looked up to see who was there. It was Carlos and Bobby.

"Bomber this is new, you don't normally get sick in the middle of the day." Bobby said.

"I didn't get sick now, but came close." I told both of them.

"What happened Babe?" Carlos asked kneeling down to me.

"The coffee; the smell. OH God! Will I will never again be able to drink it." I asked Carlos.

"The smell of coffee sent you over the edge?" Bobby asked.

"Yep." I said popping the p a little.

"Well Ranger, I think if Bomber wants to rejoin the party we have to get rid of the coffee." Bobby said to Carlos.

"Oh but people love coffee after a meal." I told them both.

"Babe they will all understand. I promise no one will be mad." He told me as tears formed in my eyes. Damn I hate these freaking hormones, I cry at everything. "Don't cry Babe it will be ok." He gave me a kiss on my forehead and then walked back out the door.

"Here drink this. It will hopefully help settle your stomach." Bobby said as he handed me a bottle of water.

"Thanks Bobby." I said giving him a little smile.

Carlos came back in the bathroom to see how I was doing. Honestly I felt better. He then said we should go rejoin the party; the coffee had all been taken care of. We walked back out and I couldn't tell there was ever coffee in the room.

Maria rushed over to me. "Mi hija, are you ok?" I nodded and she continued "Don't worry about it; during one of my pregnancies the smell of laundry soap got to me. It was so nice, for 9 months Ric had to do the laundry." Then she laughed and I was joining her.

The rest of the afternoon Carlos and I went around the room talking to everyone. Everyone was happy for us. We promised everyone an invite to the wedding. Everyone left but both our parents and grandmothers. I noticed the servers cleaning up and I went over to Ella to offer my help. She told me that Carlos hired so many people to help her she didn't even have to do anything herself. I walked back over to Carlos; he pulled me close and gave me a kiss in my hair.

I looked at our parents and asked "Would you like to go upstairs and chat for a bit before going home?" Everyone agreed and we headed upstairs.

Once upstairs my mother asked "What are you two doing for Christmas?"

"Oh, with everything going on I completely forgot about it." How could I forget about Christmas? I looked at Carlos to see if he had a plan.

"Well I was thinking with the new developments we could have a joint family Christmas gathering." Carlos stated.

"That is a wonderful idea." Carlos's grandmother said. I could see the gleam in my mother's eye and Carlos's had a similar look. I think they were both going into party planner mode.

"We would have to eat in the early afternoon if that is ok." I said chewing on my bottom lip. I really didn't want everything planned around me and my stomach, but if I was going to eat I really didn't have a choice.

"Of course Stephanie we wouldn't have it any other way." My mother said smiling.

We talked a little more of Christmas plans. The mothers took over all plans like they would at their own house. We would have the gathering here at Rangeman because it would be the easiest to accommodate everyone.

"Stephanie, you haven't told us when your due date is." My mother asked.

"July 3rd but Dr. Kaz said chances are I won't make it till July." I told my mom and everyone else.

"That is wonderful. Well we can talk more later. You are starting to look a little tired. We will leave so you can go rest dear." My mom said to me. I could really get use to her being nice to me.

We hugged them all and wished them safe travels home. I looked at the clock and didn't realize we had been up here for nearly 2 hours talking. I guess time flies when you're having fun.

"Babe, you have had a long day why don't you go lay down for a while. I will be in my office up here." He said walking me to the bedroom and giving me a soft kiss. He didn't have to tell me twice. I lay down and was in dream land.

I had dreams of me walking down the aisle as big as house and looking like a circus tent in my wedding dress. The look of shock and horror was on everyone's face. I could see Carlos looking for the nearest exit as I got closer to him.

I sat straight up in bed in a cold sweat. I then had to rush to the bathroom because of all the sudden movement. As I heaved all I could think about was how we either had to get married soon or wait till after the babies were born. I was voting for sooner. Would Carlos go for a really quick engagement? Or would he tell me he wanted to wait? If we waited and he saw me get fat, would he still want to marry me? With all the questions running through my head I started to sob. I never heard Carlos come in the room.

"Babe what's wrong?" He asked with a very worried look in his eyes. I could only cry harder. He picked me up and carried me back to bed. "Calm down Mi Amor. Tell me what's wrong?"
