A Year and a half later…

"I can't believe Danny was the first of us to tie the knot." I said shaking my head as I took a drink of my beer.

"I can't believe this is the 100th time you've said this since April." Danny rolled his eyes at me.

"I can't believe Tom and Gio took this long to tie the knot." Dougie smugly said over the rim of his glass.

"You all suck." Laurie scowled at us from where she was slumped in her chair. She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Someone's cranky." Danny said to her in a goofy voice. She stuck her tongue out at him. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Oi, Haz. Whaddya do to piss her off?"

"I took her allowance away for a month." I sighed.

"Why?"

"I caught her and some guy exchanging spit outside." I glowered at Laurie wo shot a look back at me.

"Really?" Dougie asked. "What does the dude look like?" He looked around at the guests who remained after Tom and Giovanna had left.

"You've met him. We all have." I said.

"Holy crap!" Danny laughed. "You got mad at her for kissing Evan?"

"He's no good." I shook my head. "Plus he's 22."

"So? I'm turning 16 soon. I can do whatever I want after that." She reminded me grinning as she got up and left. I watched her leave dumbfounded.

"Nice parenting Haz."

"Shut up Dougie." I groaned slidding down in my chair. A pair of arms circled my neck. I looked up and faintly smiled. "Hey babe."

Wendee kissed my forehead. "Want me to talk to her when we get home?"

"You're a lifesaver." I said pulling her onto my lap.

"Hey Doug, have you seen my wife?" Danny asked Dougie. "Yeah. She's talking up a storm to Alice over there." Dougie pointed to where they were 5 tables away.

"Oi! Leah! Get over here!" He hollered. She frowned and came over with her hands on her hips. Dougie got up and patted Danny on the shoulder. "Nice job mate. You've pissed her off. Now I'm going over there." He pointed to where Alice was sitting and ran off, tripping over a chair in the process which caused Alice to let out a loud laugh.

"Alright! Who let you have one too many beers!" Leah exclaimed coming to a halt before her husband. "I dunno." Danny said finishing his beer and reaching for another. Leah grabbed his hand.

"Oh no you don't."

"But I'm troubled." He whined trying to break free of her grasp. "Too bad. We're going home." Leah dragged him out of his chair and out of the banquet hall.

"Danny really should stop overdrinking at parties." I sighed. Wendee nuzzled her head against my neck. "Awww, look at Dougie and Alice." She giggled gesturing. They had their heads together and were whispering to each other. "Has he told her yet?"

"No…it's been a year and half since we found out. Danny wants to start pressuring him."

"Well that's Danny for you."

Dougie's POV

"How's your leg?" Alice asked trying to hold back a smile. I patted it. "It's dandy." I faked a grimace. She giggled softly and then leaned closer to me. "I can't believe you let Danny drink that much." I grinned. "It's funny though when he gets in trouble for it." I whined. She smiled softly.

"Hey do you want me to drive you home?" I asked noticing Harry and Wendee watching us. "Sure." She must've noticed the lovebirds watching us. I stood up and, being the gentleman I am, helped her out of her chair. She looked up at me and smiled again. I comically offered her my arm. Alice laughed and took it.

"I got a new car." I proudly told her as I helped her into her coat. "Really?" She asked. "Yeah. I still have my orgasm green car though. Remember Laurie when I bought it?"

"Yeah…Didn't she say, 'Nice way to be inconspicuous. Hope you have teenies chasing after you!'?" I nodded. "Yeah. This car's called 'Pervert Purple'." I added taking my keys out of my coat pocket and pressing the button to unlock it.

"What? Really?" Alice said a bit shocked.

"No, I'm just pulling your leg." I quickly said. "It's called 'Ultraviolet'."

"That's a whole of a lot better." She said with relief in her voice. "I bet Tom named it that."

"No, he's not bright enough to do that." She laughed. I grinned. "I named it that. Aren't I clever?"

"Not as clever as I am." She stuck her tongue out as I opened the door for her. I stuck my tongue back out at her and shut the door. I climbed into the driver's seat and turned the car on. "Seatbelts!" She shouted as I backed out of the lot.
