Chapter 14
The next morning, Lorenzo and Declan along with Jesse and Frannie find Amanda and Kim sleeping in bed together. They walk into Amanda and Declan's bedroom and they sit on the bed. As the two men sit in the bed, Declan is playing with Jesse while Frannie lays in the bed.
"Aww. That's so sweet that Amanda and Kim are asleep in bed together." Lorenzo says.
"What do you think, Jesse? Should we wake Aunt Kim and Mommy up? Yeah? Let's wake Aunt Kim and Mommy up then." Declan whispers to baby Jesse.
Declan kisses baby Jesse on the cheek and Frannie stands up while on the bed. Frannie moves over to Amanda and Kim and she sniffs them. Frannie licks both Amanda and Kim and they wake up. The sisters wake up to find Frannie, Jesse, Declan and Lorenzo sitting on Amanda and Declan's bed. They get off the bed and then the sisters get out of bed. They say good morning to each other and Declan goes into the kitchen to make coffee for everyone.
"What do you guys want for breakfast?" Amanda asks.
"I'm thinking about having waffles for breakfast." Kim replies.
An hour later, it's time for breakfast and the engaged couples make waffles in the kitchen. As they make the waffles, they have fun making breakfast. A few minutes later, the waffles are crispy and they bring the waffles to the table. They each take a waffle and they pour syrup on the waffles. They eat the waffles and they enjoy them.
"These waffles are really good." Kim says.
"You should see the waffles that my mom makes." Declan responds.
Soon, the engaged couples finish their waffles and coffee and they clear the table. They put the breakfast dishes away and they clean up the kitchen. After cleaning up the kitchen, they brush their teeth, shower and get dressed. Soon, they decide to go to the mall so that they can go to Build A Bear Workshop to get a stuffed bear for Jesse. Amanda ask Tony and Christina Rollins to come with them. Soon, they all arrive at the mall and they head to Build A Bear Workshop.
"Hey, Amanda. Remember when we each got a build a bear from Daddy?" Kim asks.
"Yes, Kim. I remember when we each got a build a bear from Daddy." Amanda says.
Amanda and Declan pick a happy hugs teddy, a fuchsia and rainbow sequin dress for the bear and fuchsia glam heels for the bear. After picking out the outfit for the bear, they take the bear to get stuff and they store employee stuffs the bear and they pick a sound singing sound. Soon, the bear is stuffed and Amanda dresses the bear up in the outfit. After the bear is dressed Amanda and Declan go up to the register and pay for the bear.
"I have gotten each a build a bear stuffed animal for my girls when they were little and now you got one for your little girl." Tony tells Declan.
"A good father should always do what's best for his daughter." Declan says.
They leave Build A Bear Workshop and they leave the mall. As they leave the mall, they see Beth outside in the parking lot. They wonder why she's here and they try to get into their cars. Lorenzo says that he left his car at Declan and Amanda's apartment and they offer to bring him and Kim back so that he can get his car.
"Kim, I'm hurt that you didn't invite me to your bridal shower." Beth says.
"I didn't want to invite you, Mama. You would have showed up drunk." Kim replies.
Amanda and Kim try to tell their mother how they feel about their relationship with her, but she doesn't listen to what they're saying. The sisters get fed up so they pace around in the parking lot. Declan and Lorenzo take Kim and Amanda to the car so that they don't have to deal with their mother's drama. Christina follows to check on the sisters as they get in Declan's car.
"Girls, are you okay?" Christina asks Amanda and Kim.
"Yeah, we're okay." Amanda and Kim respond.
Christina comforts the girls as they wonder about what's going to happen next. Tony watches as Amanda and Kim worry about what's happening. Beth tells Tony that they need to talk, but he says that he has nothing to say to her. He gets in his car and Beth follows him as he gets in the car. Beth asks if the girls got wedding dresses and Tony says that they picked out their wedding dresses and she asks who paid for the dresses.
"I paid for the dresses and now I'm paying for both weddings." Tony says.
"How did you pay for two wedding dresses along with the accessories and how are you going to pay for these weddings? With your gambling money?" Beth asks, coldly.
"No, Beth. I don't gamble anymore. I haven't gambled in years. Now, I own an Italian restaurant, I have a wonderful wife, we have this wonderful home and I'm closer to the girls. I make a lot of money owning my Italian restaurant. For someone who was once depressed, I've been through a lot over the years in order to make my kids happy." Tony responds.
Beth backs away from the car and Christina gets in the passenger's seat of Tony's car. He closes his car door and he starts the car. Amanda, Declan, Jesse, Kim and Lorenzo are all in Declan's car and they drive off with Tony and Christina following them back to Declan and Amanda's apartment. Beth gets in the rental car and she drives back to the hotel. A few minutes later, they all arrive at Amanda and Declan's apartment while Tony and Christina head back home. Kim says that she and Lorenzo ordered their wedding invitations and they put their engagement photos on them.
"I want to invite our friends and families." Kim says.
"You can invite my squad if you like." Amanda replies.
Amanda and Declan help Kim and Lorenzo with their wedding invitations and they put them in envelopes. Soon, the invitations are in the envelopes and they choose a cake topper and other things that Kim and Lorenzo will need for their wedding. Two hours later, Kim and Lorenzo leave Amanda and Declan's apartment and they head home.
