The following week, today is Sofia and Greg's wedding day.

Clarisse was up early and went to get some coffee and toast, coming back up she sat on the bed next to Joe as he laid on his front, fast asleep. She finished of her breakfast and coffee and sat with a letter in her hand, waiting on him to awake. Not long after he stirred and looked up at her.

"good morning" he smiled as she looked down "what time is it?" he asked closing his eyes and rolled onto his back

"it's just before half 7" she smiled and kissed him "good morning" she smiled moving onto her side as he sat up "I was going through my drawers this morning and came across something I wrote ages and ages ago" she said looking at it while passing it to him "its for you" she smiled as he took it

"you wrote me?" he asked as she nodded "do you want me to read it now?" he asked as she smiled with nodded "ok" he leaned in and kissed her as she snuggled up to his arm he opened the letter

"I know its a bit late, but it all still stands" she smiled up at him "read it out to me"

"alright" he smiled at her and started reading it out

'Dear Joey

Well today is 1st January and I am sat alone in my suite, I am meant to be reading but I can't stop thinking about the 'I Love' list you told me earlier this morning! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day for that matter! So here I am finding myself writing a 'I Love" list to you.

All the ones you gave me this morning, stand to you too.

But my very first one I would like to say to you is I love that you let me call you Joey, even though you don't like it or let anyone else call it you :)'

He looked back at Clarisse with a big grin on his face "that is true, its a name only you can call me" he smirked

"of course" she kissed him a couple times "carry on" she said resting her head on his shoulder as he looked back at the letter

"alright" he smiled and carried on

"that is a lot of I loves" he looked at her "thank you" he said and kissed her nose

"your welcome" she smiled tipping her head back and looked at him

"can I keep this?" he asked

"of course" she nodded and watched as he folded it up and put it in the drawer next to the bed and looked back at her "are you naked under here?" she asked while lifting the sheets up then smirked at him

"of course" he grinned and watched as she slipped out of her robe and straddled him on the bed "just so you no, everything you wrote to me stands to you also" he whispered while wrapping his arms around her

"good" she smiled and started kissing him slowly while locking her arms around his neck as he pulled the sheets up a little

After a few minutes she kissed his neck and bit on his shoulder.

"ouch" Joe exclaimed as she lifted her head and looked at him "just messing" he laughed as she playfully slapped his arm

"I thought I hurt you then" she smiled

"oh you could never hurt me" he smiled as she lowered her head, kissing and nipping at his neck


Coming down after getting showered and dressed, Clarisse grabbed some coffee and headed to the living room to check on everyone, then headed to make sure everything was being set up correctly with Sofia.

"hey Dad" she smiled as he headed over and stood next to them

"hey beautiful" he smiled and kissed her cheek "are you nervous yet?"

"not yet, no" she smiled shaking her head while looking at Clarisse "was you nervous when you married Daddy?"

"a little, but having you as a tiny little baby I didn't really have time to be nervous" she smiled as Sofia took her hand

"I am just heading over to see the guys, want me to tell Greg anything?" Joe asked as Clarisse looked at him

"just tell him I love him and see him later" Sofia smiled

"alright" he smiled and watched as she walked off then looked at Clarisse as she moved a couple place names "what are you doing?"

she looked up with a smile "well they had Gemma and Alex sat next to each other, and we all know they don't get on" she smiled and walked around the table before standing back in front of him "its all done now" she smiled and sipped her coffee

"let me have some of that?" he asked taking the cup from her and sipped it as she turned just as someone dropped some glasses

"oh for god sake" Clarisse exclaimed about to rush of but Joe grabbed her hand making her look back at him "Joe?"

"let the maids sort it out" he said raising his eyebrow "stay with me" he smiled

"sorry" Sofia exclaimed from the other room

"it was Sofia" Clarisse whispered as Joe let go of her hand and she rushed of

Joe smirked while watching her rush away, then finished her coffee while walking into the hall. After a few minutes he headed over to the guest house to check on Greg and the rest of the men who was over there.


After an hour Clarisse was still checking things with Charlotte while Sofia went up to relax a bit with Amelia and Olivia.

"Clarisse" Hannah came rushing into the hall

"whats wrong?" Clarisse said looking over at her

"Sofia is starting to panic" she panicked

Clarisse looked at Charlotte then rushed of to Sofia, Hannah leading the way.

"Darling?" Clarisse whispered while standing in the door way to her room

"Mom" Sofia said looking over at her in tears "I can't marry him" she sobbed as Clarisse rushed over

"oh Darling" she hugged her "your just having cold feet, that's all" she hugged her tightly

"I'm scared" Sofia cried on her shoulder "everything's going wrong"

"listen to me" Clarisse said cupping her cheek "its the same with every wedding, its just your nerves" she whispered while rubbing her back

Sofia lifted her head as Clarisse looked at her "I think I'm gonna be sick" she said standing up and rushed into her bathroom as Clarisse and Hannah looked at each other

After locking herself in the bathroom for an hour, everyone left Clarisse too it. When Charlotte brought up a package for her, leaving it with her. Clarisse couldn't help but try it on and as she stood looking at herself in the mirror Sofia came out and looked at her.

"which one of us is getting married today?" Sofia whispered while Clarisse looked over at her "you or me" she smiled

"oh darling" Clarisse said lifting the dress up a bit and walked over, giving her a hug then stepped back "it wasn't meant to be here yet, but this" she said while looking down at it then back at Sofia "is my outfit for your Halloween party" Clarisse smiled as Sofia giggled

"who are you going as?" Sofia said while moving and sat down

Clarisse smiled while putting her hands on her hips "Queen Elizabeth the 1st" she smiled

"well it really suits you" Sofia smiled "you could even wear it as a wedding dress if you ever get married again, that is" Sofia smiled at her

"I don't no" Clarisse moved and sat next to her

"how's it going with you and Daddy?" Sofia asked while looking at her

"great, things are going amazingly great" she nodded while looking back at her "as for the marriage stuff I'm not sure yet, its too early" she said looking at her hands

"it's alright, I can understand that Mom" Sofia moved and snuggled up to her

"I was thinking about him moving back in though" Clarisse whispered while putting her arm around Sofia's shoulders "how would you feel about that?"

Sofia lifted her head and looked at her "that would be amazing" she smiled "and I know Olivia would love it, well hey" she exclaimed while Clarisse looked at her "he hasn't left here for a week so it's like he's already home" she giggled as Clarisse smiled

"that is true" Clarisse nodded and looked at her "so... how far along are you?" she smiled as Sofia sat opened mouthed

"how did..." Sofia asked shaking her head

"mothers know these things" Clarisse smiled and hugged her then sat back "does Greg know?"

"no" Sofia shook her head "I only found out this morning, hence why I started panicking"

"oh now I see" Clarisse nodded

"and thinking about it, I'm ready for it, I'm ready to get married" Sofia smiled as Clarisse looked at her

"good" Clarisse hugged her again "shall I call the hair dresser to come up?"

"yes" Sofia nodded while standing up "by the way, the doctor thinks I'm about a month"

"oh how lovely" Clarisse said standing up and hugged her, then called the hair dresser

After she done Clarisse's hair she got to work on Sofia's as Clarisse stayed with her, joined by the rest of the ladies.

"I don't like it" Sofia whispered as everyone looked up at her

"what don't you like?" Olivia asked while looking at Clarisse then back to Sofia

"my hair, I'm sorry" she said looking at the hair dresser, Vicky

"well how would you like your hair?" Vicky asked

"I don't no" Sofia shrugged while looking down as everyone looked between themselves "I no" Sofia said "like that" she pointed

"like what?" Vicky said looking to where she was pointing

"like this" Sofia said standing up and walked over grabbing a photo of her shelf "just like how my Mom had it when she was 15" she smiled over at Clarisse as she smiled back and nodded "can you do this for me?" she asked

"of course" Clarisse said while standing up "oh" she looked at Vicky "you don't mind do you?"

"of course not" Vicky smiled "go right ahead"

"thank you" Sofia smiled and sat back down

After she done Sofia's hair she left them too it and headed back to her suite, bumping into Joe as she did.

"well look at you" Joe smiled while taking her hands and looked her up and down then made eye contact "you look beautiful" he said stepping closer and kissed her

"thank you" she smiled "it's my Halloween outfit for Sofia's party, it came today and I had to try it on" she smiled while putting her arms around his shoulders "I was talking to her actually and I would like to ask you something"

"oh really?" he asked putting his arm's around her waist holding her close

"yes" Clarisse smiled "would you like to official move back in?"

"really?" Joe asked as she nodded "I would love to" he whispered between kissing her

"great" Clarisse smiled "right I better go and get ready for this wedding" she said standing back "are you already ready?" she asked

"I am sort of" Joe nodded while taking her hand and kissed her fingers "I love you Clari"

"I love you too" she smiled and kissed him "see you in a bit"

"indeed" Joe nodded

He stood smiling while watching her go into her suite, then carried on to where he needed to be. After Clarisse had got ready she came out into the suite to grab her make up bag to find someone in her suite that shouldn't be.

"René" she gasped "What are you doing here?" she asked while putting her arms down

"I had to see you" he smirked while standing up and walked over to her

"stay away from me" she said moving away and put her make up bag down "didn't you get it a week ago when I told you there was no us anymore?" she said getting angry

"yea I did" he nodded once then smirked "but I can't take no for an answer" he said moving and stepped closer to her as she froze "I want to be with you again" he whispered while putting his hands on her sides "what we had was amazing and I want that back"

"you need to go" she said trying to push his hands away and turned her head the other way "you can not be here" she said looking at him

"you look amazing" he whispered as she pushed him back "oh come on Clarisse, you want it too" he said stepping closer to her

"no" she said putting her hand on his chest "I do not" she moved away from him "you really need to go before security find you here"

"I'm not going yet Clarisse" he said looking down "see I know about you and Joe" he said slowly looking up at her "you can't be happy with him, surely?"

"well I am" she nodded while looking at him "I am very happy with him, more than I ever was with you" she snapped "I have no idea what I ever saw in you"

"oh come on" he said turning to look at her "why go with him when you can have me, I would never cheat on you like he did" he whispered while looking at her

"how dare you" she rushed over and slapped his face hard "now get out before I call for security"

"I wouldn't do that if I was you" he said staring at her "you will regret it"

"what?" she asked

She stood watching him for a second then he slowly walked over, grabbing her wrists and pushed her back against the wall.

"get of me" she said trying to pull her arms free

"you will stop, or I will hurt you" he said looking into her eyes as she froze "now listen, this is what we are gonna do... alright" he started and put his hand up covering her mouth "you will listen" he said looking down while putting his other hand on her side then looked back up at her "you will date Joseph for a few months, then end it, if he asks you to marry him in the meantime you will say No and you will end it because if you don't I shall hurt you" he said moving his other hand down on her side "and I will hurt him"

"you wouldn't dare" she whispered while shaking her head

"I will ruin you Clarisse, so don't try anything" he glared at her

"you have nothing to ruin me with, your bluffing" she said shaking her head

"is that a risk you really want to take Clarisse? I mean really, the Queen of Genovia wanting to take a risk like that?" he said standing back and put his hands in his pockets "you will regret ever getting involved with me and the Renaldi's Clarisse"

"you can't do this" she said watching him walk over to the middle of the room

"watch me" he said looking over at her "I will be in touch" he said "oh and if you say anything to anyone about this, I won't be responsible for my actions" he snapped then left

She watched as he left then slumped back against the wall and slid down, wrapping her arms around her legs.
