-Chapter-46-A surprise-

-Cassandra pov-

"Aright" Shelby closes the door to my office "My theater kids are taking care of the club!"

"May I ask a question?" Shelby nods as she fixes the wedding board "I thought we had everything planned! We the hell are we changing it now?! This makes no sense to me! Why the hell am i taking a day off for this?! We only have so many pregnancy days and holiday times I can take!"

"She's right" I stand up and walk toward the door "We already have everything set up"

"See!" Madison stands up "I'm Leaving too! Maybe I can get this day back"

Judy is soon in front of the door "Sit you butts down" Judy turns a glare at Madison "You especially!"

"Whatever" Madison sit back down "This is stupid"

"So one of our fiancés fears being shoved in her face is stupid?" Madison gives Shelby a confused look "Cass has kept her feelings inside because she was afraid this would happen! You think you doing this bullshit helps?!..no..we need to be calm and collected"

"Cass?" I don't look at Madison "Is this true?"

"It's stupid" I look at Judy "I have a class to teach"

"No" Judy looks behind me at someone "We are doing this right?"

"Let her go" I hear the board get taken down "We apparently have more things to talk about"

Judy moves without another word. They are having a meeting without me. Keep it together Cass. You were fine without them before.

You will be fine without them if they leave.

-Time skip-Madison pov-

"Was having a meeting without her a smart idea?" Shelby doesn't respond at the board "Ignoring me honestly? That doesn't help solve things"

"Why snap?" Shelby turns toward me "Why did you snap like that? What caused you to be, sorry for the word, a damn Cunt?!"

"I'm tired of waiting" I stand up and look Shelby in the eyes "I want to be able to have one of your signatures on my paper! Emma and Maribel are having twins! Who's signing that? Girlfriends can't sign! They can adopt but wouldn't you rather sign at birth?! Dresses don't matter! Love and family do! So I snapped because I knew we weren't having it the date we planned"

"You saw that" Shelby looks at the board where the date is "We just don't wanna make you three self conscious"

"Now here's the talking of a meeting" The others come in. Judy walks up beside Shelby "The three pregnant girls are in here"

"I agree with Madison" Emma nervously plays with her thumbs "I think we need to get this done so we can sign off on papers"

"Yeah" Maribel gets up and waddles out. We all share confused looks when she comes back with a box "Cass has had this box! She said she wanted to share it with us tonight! I think she forgot it because of the meeting...would it be bad to open it now?"

"Yes" Shelby walks over and takes it "Isn't the house oddly quiet?"

"Yeah" Judy walks over to the doors confused "How long have they been gone?

I shrug and stand up "They were just there" Soon the front door is slammed and we are being rushed "WHATS HAPPENING?!"

"You are having a wedding!" Mary rushes past with fabric "We will make these dream dresses and I've already sent a message to the girls! The club will make the room like your dreams!"

"The board?" They all nod "We really are getting our dream wedding? Like really?"

"Yes"Janine looks at Shelby "So you all just figure out who's marrying you!"

"We all have that figured out" They look at me and I grab Judys hand "If we are picking then I'm picking her!"

"I'm good with Emma" Maribel smiles "We get the twins!"

"That leaves you with Cass" Shelby goes to speak but I hold my hand up "NO TAKE BACKS!"

"Not what I was gonna say" Shelby smiles "I was gonna say..let's do this!"

-Time skip-Cassandra pov-

I got sent away to try on this amazing dress. Why did the moms want me in this? To show me what I'm losing? To have everyone laugh at me?

I sigh and walk back to the room in it. I stop and look confused as I see the girls in their bridesmaid dresses. What is happening right now? My mom slowly walks over to me with a smile.

"You look so beautiful" She smiles and hands me flowers "To match your wife's dress!"

I give her a confused look as I'm lead to the club doors. I stand there and the girls walk in. My eyes go wide as I finally see inside. What is going on right now?

There are screens showing our friends, my club is dressed nicely, the teachers are smiling, and it looks like the board. I look and see my girls dressed too. They are all in their dream dresses. I finally find my match and smile.

"Alright!" James smiles "Let's all stand for the final bride!"

The girls crawl ahead and throw out flowers. I chuckle as Santana stops and blows bubbles partially through. This is just like our family. I feel the tears start to form.

"Keep it together" My mom loops around my right arm "I can only keep it together if you do"

"Same here" Dee wraps around my left arm "You are ok with us walking you down right?"

"Of course" I smile "It's how it has been in my dreams"

They smile and the music starts up. They walk me down the isle and stop at the end. I look up and see Shelby smiling. I look at Judy who gives me a nod.

"Take care of her" Mom glares at Shelby "I live with you"

"I know where you live" Dee smirks "I got ways of making people silent ok? No funny business"

"Yes Mam" Shelby's still smiling and holds a hand out "I promise to behave"

I smile and take her hand "I thought you all were gonna leave me" Shelby gives me a confused expression "It's nothing now"

"Everything means something" Shelby walks me to our spot "You are my wife now"

"Yes I am" I smile "Let's get on with this"

"Indeed" James smiles "My office still has me on call! Now we all know that this is not just a wedding! All of these women love each other dearly..I've gotten to experience that love on many visits! They've become dear friends of mine..they've become more than that..they've become like family"

"Yes! you are getting godfather of a kid" Judy smiles as James chuckles "Move on!"

"Moving on" Everyone laughs "We all know that they will be not just married legally as singles! They will be living as if they were all married! They will be living and loving as they have for a while now! Their happiness will grow to new heights"

I smile as James talks more. I hate how long these can be. But it'll all be worth it. In the end I'll be able to say I'm married to this beauty.

-Time skip-

"Now on to the final one!" There's laughter from everyone "Cassandra! Do you take Shelby legally to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you also take Maribel, Madison, Judy, and Emma to be you wives? To have and to hold? In sickness and in health? For rich and for poor? Till death you all part?"

"I do" I smile as I put the ring on Shelby's finger "I really do"

"Then all I have is one more thing to say" James smiles wide "You May all kiss, however you are doing this, your bride!"

I pull Shelby down and kiss her on the lips. She's not escaping me now. I pull apart when I finally hear the cheers. I get spun around quickly and kissed by Judy.

This is the life.

"Now" I look at my best friend/boss "LETS PARTY!"

-Time skip-

"Everything was amazing" I look at everyone smiling and having fun "I don't think this could've been better"

"I don't either" Shelby pulls me into her "Well maybe if you show us what's in the box"

"Box?" Maribel holds up the box I've been hiding "Ohh..that box"

"What's in it?" Judy looks like a kid ready to burst "It must be good!"

"It is" I take a deep breath before standing "Can I have everyone's attention?...I have an important announcement!"

"Hey!" My mom shouts "A bride is speaking!"

I smile as all eyes fall on me "Thank you" I grab the box and pull out my key for it "In this has a secret I've been hiding...three secrets to be exact...only James knows about it"

"Thanks" James pouts "Now I'm gonna get killed"

"Yep" we all laugh and attention turns back onto me "Here goes nothing"

I open the box and holds up the secrets. I hear the gasps as it registers. I look down at Shelby and see shock. Soon a huge smile breaks out.

"I'm gonna be a mom too?" I nod and soon an in a huge group hug "WE ALL WILL BE MOMS!"

"Even more reason to celebrate" sugar cheers "PARTY TIME!"

"You did it Cass" I look at my long time friend and smile "You finally got your dream life...if they hurt you tell me ok? I know how to hide some bodies if need be alright?"

"We will be the first to tell you if we hurt her majorly and on purpose" Judy wraps a arm around me "She will never be hurt like she has again"

"Good" he smile and looks over at James "I'm gonna go work my magic"

I chuckle and look down at my ring. I'm really married right now. I look around and smile. All of our friends and family are here. They took time to tune in on Skype or in person.

"You ok?" Shelby looks at me worriedly "Was this too much?"

"No" I smile and give her a big kiss "This was perfect"

She smiles before leading me to the dance floor. I honestly couldn't have dreamed this any better. It was just how we drew it up. Days like these are why I enjoy this family.

Days like these are why I feel so loved. Show me why I'm so happy. Give me a reason to wake up in the morning. Give me purpose for the days to come.

I just hope the good keeps coming. Because I don't wanna feel the down now.
