Tess and Rita were sitting up in the hotel room when Charlie came in with Connie. "Are you sure you don't want to come Rita, it won't be the same without?" She laughed as Connie stood there pouting.

"They haven't told you what you're doing this afternoon have they?" Connie's face dropped as Rita laughed. "I don't think 5 months pregnant and paintballing is the best mix of activities do you-" "What!?" Connie turned and walked from the room as Charlie took a seat opposite the women. "I assume that was a no from her."

"Zoe!" "I guess she knows…" She turned to face an angry looking Connie as everyone began getting into cars. "Why would you think I would want to spend the afternoon running around a dirty field pelting paint at someone?" Zoe smiled as Iain stopped beside her. "Oh come on Connie it'll be funny-" "I don't think getting filthy and bruised is funny 3 days before my wedding."

"Lighten up Con-" "Lighten up!? And who asked your opinion anyway?" Connie turned on Iain as Cal came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up walking the opposite direction. "CALEB KNIGHT I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T PUT ME DOWN NOW YOU'LL BE WAITING A BLOODY LONG TIME AT THE ALTER!"

He put her back down and turned her around to face him. "Iain had arranged this for me and the guys but everyone thought that we'd want to spend as much time as we could with each other… They compromised into doing both." Connie didn't seem to shift her view on the idea but Cal tried again.

"Does it help if I tell you there are several people on that bus that want to take shots at you because you're such a moody cow at work-" "What?" Cal looked down at her realising it was slowly working. "I mean I tried defending you and would protect you 100% but sometimes you've just got to give as well as you get-" "Who said it because they are so dead when we get there." She turned pulling his hand as they ran back to the car and climbed in.

Once they arrived they filed out and walked up the hill to the small reception area. "Hello you must be the Beauchamp-Knight group?" Connie frowned and looked to Cal. "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, please remind me to choose one or the other in a few days time-" "You haven't decided yet!?" Connie turned back around choosing to ignore his comment.

Connie followed the staff leader walking before Cal caught up to her. "Hey-" he reached out and grabbed her arm gently letting his hand fall into hers. "What did you mean by that?" She tried ignoring him but he just slowed down and made her wait with him.

"It didn't mean anything Cal, can we just leave this conversation until after this?" He looked down at her not wanting to drop the conversation but knowing he didn't want to make her annoyed with him before she was about to be handed a paintball gun. "Okay, but we are talking about this." She nodded walking off with him, still holding his hand.

It was an interesting sight to anyone watching them all. There were very few who seemed to have any idea at what they were really doing. Zoe and Rhiannon spent most of the time ducking out of the way and hiding behind things as Max, Lofty and Jacob ran rings around them.

Dixie and Alicia were enjoying themselves, discovering that they were actually pretty good at this. Ethan and Jess weren't doing too badly but it was Connie that surprised everyone. After all the fussing from earlier on about not wanting to do this she seemed to be enjoying herself.

Cal was standing beside her as she continuously ducked from view as Jacob and Max seemed to have it in for her. "I swear to God Cal if I look like I've been in a fight on our wedding day I will never forgive you." He laughed as he fell to the floor next to her avoiding several shots from Alicia and Jess.

"Do you trust me?" "Don't ask me something like that right now because I know this is going to involve me doing something really stupid!" "Good I'm glad you do!" Without another word he grabbed Connie's hand and ran from where they were standing across the field. Just before they made it to the other side Connie slipped over and hit the floor.

Cal grabbed hold of her hand helping her up resulting in him getting shot in the back. "Are you okay?" He pulled a face as he hurried Connie up. "Just move, please?" She scrambled up from the floor before they both sat behind a large tree. "You don't look okay-" "Con I'm fine, just don't fall over again."

They carried on for another half an hour before it all came to an end, thankfully. Almost as soon as they were getting changed Connie crossed the room to be beside Cal. She noticed a bruise beginning to appear on his back and he winced as she pressed her hand against it. "That looks bad-" "It's not, it's what you get when you go paintballing and try protecting your fiancée."

She rolled her eyes as he turned around and hugged her. "I'd do anything for you-" "I know and I would for you too." Cal smiled before placing a kiss on the top of her head. "I can't wait to call you Mrs Knight." He'd said it intentionally to see her reaction and knew as soon as the words left his mouth that she tensed.

He leant back and pushed Connie to arms length so he could look at her. "Do you actually want to marry me?" "What? Of course I do why are you being so stupid-" "Because every time I bring up my name you get defensive and strange."

Connie sighed and turned to walk away as Cal held onto her wrist. "Come on, what is it?" She looked up at him closing her eyes. "What? Are you ashamed of me, is that it? My name's not good enough for you-" "Don't be so stupid Cal." She pulled her hand away before glaring at him. "Right, so it's alright for you to be angry and to want answers all the time but I can't?"

"Connie when people get married they're supposed to look forward to taking someone's name-" "Just drop it Cal!" Connie turned away and returned to Rhiannon and Zoe's conversation before leaving the room completely. They hadn't been talking loud enough for everyone to hear all the in's and out's but it was obvious they were arguing.

Cal was left wandering where Connie was going as she walked out of the building. They'd argued before but for some reason this felt different. Whether it was just because their wedding day was so close now he wasn't sure but there was definitely more to it than what she was admitting.
