Eight Months Later
"I can't believe you're going to actually marry him!" Mel fussed as she fiddled with her light yellow bridesmaid gown.
"Well, I'm carrying his child so I'm doing the right thing" Paris said as she frowned and grabbed her side.
"You okay?" Mel asked.
"Yea, I've been having dull pains all night but that one was a whopper" Paris laughed.
"Do you really love Matt?" Mel questioned.
"Not as much as I love Jeff but he's the father of my kids" Paris answered reluctantly.
"You don't have to marry him because you have his kids" Mel explained.
"Jeff and I have grown apart these past four months. He stopped coming home so I moved out. He shouldn't have been uncomfortable in his own home to the point where he stayed away," Paris said through tears.
"Don't cry. Jeff loves you and you know it" Mel fussed.
"He acts as if he's happy that I'm marrying Matt" Paris frowned pressing down on her belly.
"He has to in order not to cry. He and Aidan are running late" Mel said nervously.
"Jeff wanted to take him to see Dr. Marshall for his checkup. I hope Aidan is still in great health. I love my baby so much" Paris said wiping her eyes in the mirror with a handkerchief.
"I'm sure Aidan is still healthy. Something's buzzing" Mel said realizing Paris's purse buzzing. "Your cellphone is ringing" Mel pointed as she grabbed the purse and pulled the phone out. "Hello? Oh hey Jeff" Mel said in a chipper tone.
"I'm going out into the hall. Tell Jeff to hurry up and get Aidan here plus he's the best man too. They both need to be here," Paris said in between grunts as she slowly walked out into the hall.
"Why Jeff? Is Aidan okay? The wedding is starting in 10 minutes and your 20 minutes away" Mel fussed. "I'll do my best to stall them," Mel said hanging up.

"Do you Paris Lisette Greco take Matthew Moore Hardy to be your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, through sickness and health until death do you part" asked Reverend Danes.
"Paris?" Matt said staring at her as she hesitated to answer. "Baby answer" Matt said nervously.
"Wait!" Jeff shouted from the back of the church as he and Aidan ran to the front of the church and stood in front of Paris and Matt.
"Glad to see you could make it little bro" Matt grinned.
"I'm not here to support this union, I'm here to stop it" Jeff said looking angrier than Paris had ever seen him.
"What? Why would you want to interfere with us getting married?" Matt laughed nervously.
"I just came from Raleigh with Aidan. He had a checkup. Dr. Marshall and I had a long talk about Mr. Moore being so close to Aidan. He even mentioned the little test he gave you after I informed him you were my brother and Aidan's father. Imagine my surprise when Dr. Marshall said how sorry he felt for you when you found out Aidan wasn't your biological son" Jeff shouted in Matt's face.
"What? What is he talking about Matt?" Paris demanded.
"I have no idea sweetheart. He's jealous that you chose me again," Matt said smugly.
"Tell her Matt. Tell her how you knew he was my son since last October!" Jeff screamed.
"How was I supposed to know he was your son?" Matt asked getting annoyed and flustered.
"Look, it's over Matt! You're busted! This is my son and he knows it now" Jeff said putting his arm around Aidan and hugging him tightly.
"Matt?" Paris asked unsure of what to say next.
"Why did you lie Matt?" Gilbert Hardy asked as Matt squeezed Paris hands tightly.
"Because I love her dad. I met Aidan and I felt an instant connection to him. I so wanted you to be my son" Matt said looking down at Aidan. "You look just like me so I believed you were until I realized your eyes were green. You have Jeff's eyes. I took the test thinking you could be Jeff's and Dr. Marshall confirmed it" Matt admitted. "When I do have a son I want him to be like just you" Matt told Aidan.
"Don't cry, your still my uncle" Aidan smiled. "I forgive you for lying" Aidan said hugging him. "It's kind of like I have two dads but my uncle has a lot to make up for. I want a couple of new games for my Playstation 2" Aidan grinned.
"You got it" Matt chuckled looking up at Jeff. "Look Jeff, I'm sorry I kept your son from you but I always thought he was mine and it was hard to let him go so suddenly" Matt explained through tears. "Paris, I'm sorry for lying to you. I still want to be with you but deep in my heart I know you love Jeff so if you want to be together I won't stand in your way" Matt said walking down the steps and walking out of the church.
"Well, do you want me?" Jeff asked in a serious tone.
"Yes" Paris nodded.
"You look beautiful" Jeff laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" she asked getting upset.
"You weren't going to marry him. You love me too much" Jeff bragged.
"Yes I do" Paris whispered as he grabbed her hands.
"You heard that Reverend? She said I do" Jeff teased.
"Huh? Oh! Do you Jeffrey." Reverend Danes started.
"Nero Hardy" Jeff told him.
"Do you Jeffrey Nero Hardy take Paris Lisette Greco to be your lawful wedded."
"I do" Jeff said cutting him off.
"Do you Paris."
"I do" Paris cut in.
"I do too," Aidan added grabbing Paris and Jeff's hands.
"By the powers vested in me I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the .well go on then!" Reverend Danes shouted as Jeff grabbed Paris and kissed her.
"Oh my God!" Paris groaned grabbing her stomach.
"I think the baby is ready to make its arrival" Mel shouted grabbing Aidan by the hand. "We'll get everything situated here and be at the hospital in a little while" Mel shouted as she pulled Aidan to the back to gather up everything in the dressing room.
"I'm so scared," Paris said breathing deeply.
"I'm here" Jeff reassured her as he helped her down the aisle.
"I'll help you get her in the car" Gilbert Hardy offered as he grabbed Paris right arm and led her to the car. "I'll see you guys in a little while I need to call Matt to let him know what's going on" Gilbert shouted dialing on his cellphone as he headed to his truck.
Ten minutes later Paris's water broke and Jeff started to panic. He begged her not to push but she couldn't help but to bear down and push. Jeff shouted at her to stop it but she continued pushing. Jeff took his right hand off the steering wheel and ran his hands between her legs and felt the baby's head.
"Oh shit!" he screamed as he swerved in the road and pulled over. He jumped out of the car and ran over to the passenger side and opened the door. He made her lie down in the back seat and dialed 911."What? What do you mean I have to deliver this baby!" Jeff fussed.
"Jeff! It hurts" Paris screamed clutching at his suit.
"Okay baby! I'm here! I have to return this suit" Jeff reminded her.
"I'm going to die" Paris said realizing Jeff had no idea what he was doing. He backed out of the backseat.
"Where are you going?" Paris shouted.
"To get blankets out the trunk!" Jeff shouted as he talked to the woman on the phone. "Okay Paris, I'm going to have to take your panties off okay?" Jeff said slowly warning her.
"You never asked me could you take them off before!" she shouted between grunts.
"Ha ha, very funny honey" Jeff grinned as he pulled her panties down. "Holy mother of God!" Jeff shouted as he stared between her legs and started touching between her legs. "Sweetie! The baby has blond hair!" Jeff shouted.
"Really?" Paris laughed between panting.
"Yea, a head full of dirty blond hair! Oh I'm sorry ma'am" Jeff said into his cellphone. "Okay baby, remember what you learned in Lamaze class because I'm drawing a blank here!" Jeff shouted as he grabbed her knees with his hands.
"Ohhhh" Paris shouted and pushed down.
"You're doing great baby! I see the baby's face! Come on baby! Push again! A big push!" Jeff shouted as she pushed hard as she could. "Oh my God! The shoulders are actually squeezing out of your." Jeff groaned as he turned a shade of green.
"Jeff! You'd better not pass out on me! I need you!" Paris shouted grabbing his face.
"Okay! The lady says I have to hold the baby's head. Okay, now push!" Jeff shouted as Paris screamed from the pain of another contraction. She pushed and the baby slid out a little more. Jeff shouted for her to give him one more push. Paris grabbed his left hand and squeezed it as she pushed. "Owwww!" Jeff yelled as the baby slid out into his right hand. He pulled his left hand away and smacked it on the behind. The baby started screaming and crying as Jeff wrapped the baby in the blanket. "It's a girl" he breathed heavily as he grabbed the umbilical cord and tied it into a knot just as the sound of an ambulance got closer to them.
"A girl" Paris smiled lying back on the seat.
"You did real well baby, really good" Jeff grinned as he stared at his daughter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wow, she's so active!" Matt said staring at three year old Faith Hardy.
"I know! I can barely keep up with her!" Jeff laughed as Faith jumped on Aidan's back.
"I pray I'll drop these kids in the next few weeks" Amy Dumas moaned as she rubbed her huge belly.
"In due time baby" Matt said rubbing his wife's belly.
"I know how she feels," Paris said waddling over to the picnic table. "Jeff plans on never letting me retain my shape. Atleast give me five years" Paris laughed.
"Oh that's because I love you so much!" Jeff jumped up from the table and kissed her. "Hey, look who's here!" Jeff pointed as Mel and Shane Helms approached them.
"If it isn't the lovers who were in denial for 10 years!" Matt teased.
"Happy anniversary" Paris smiled.
"Thanks" Mel smiled widely. "I hear your store is doing well here in Cameron"
"Yes, I'm very happy with how successful it's been. Everyone loves the silk feel lotion. I'm working on new scents with Amy since she's so sensitive to smell right now. I can't believe we've expanded to three stores. I'm looking forward to number 10" Paris said excitedly.
"Yea, I'm thinking a candle that smells like birthday cake and ice cream" Amy suggested licking her lips.
"Hey guys, sorry we're late. Mel had the urge to fulfill her fantasy of being with a superhero" Shane bragged approaching the table as Mel popped him on the butt.
"You talk too much" Mel laughed.
"What are you guys up to?" Shane smiled.
"Complaining about these men knocking us up" Amy fussed.
"Hey, Mel and I are having a boy. Matt and Jeff is the ones who shot twins up in you guys" Shane teased.
"Screw you Shane" Amy smiled.
"So, you know what you're having Paris?" Mel asked.
"Girls" Paris answered.
"Boys" Jeff replied.
"One of each maybe" Paris laughed.
"If it's both we're through. It will be Nero and Charity Hardy" Jeff said proudly.
"Nero and Hope" Paris corrected him.
"Actually we were going to use Charity" Amy pouted.
"No way! I want to name one. If one is a boy it's Matt version 2!" Matt argued.
"This here will be Gregory Shane version 2" Shane laughed.
"Atleast we agree" Mel scoffed as they watched Matt argue with Amy and Jeff argue with Paris.
"Fine! You two can have Charity" Amy shouted at Jeff.
"Thanks. If it's a boy and a girl and I know it is, it will be Nero and Charity" Jeff bragged holding Paris from behind.
"I wanted a Hope Hardy" Paris sighed.
"I like Hope" Matt winked at Paris.
"Hey! You stay away from her" Amy elbowed Matt.
"What?" Matt laughed throwing up his hands.
"Umm, I think we can make a little Hope Hardy in a few years" Jeff whispered against her ear.
"Don't worry, the only babies I'm making will be with you" Paris moaned as she pulled Jeff in for a deep kiss.
"You know I've heard sex is great to help get labor started" Jeff whispered.
"Let's go to the car," Paris said grabbing his hand as Shane and Mel shook their heads in shame.
"Come on Matt. I'm ready to try anything to get these babies out of me" Amy laughed pulling him up and heading to their car.
"Why do I feel like I'm being used?" Matt yelled back at Shane and Mel.
"Because you are man!" Shane laughed as Shannon and his wife pulled up in their car.
"Aidan! Uncle Shannon and Aunt Kasey is going to watch you and Faith for awhile," Shane shouted grabbing Mel's hand. "Let's go do it in the woods" Shane smiled deviously.
"I still have 6 weeks left Shane!" Mel giggled.
"I like starting early! Now move it!" he shouted popping her on the ass causing her to squeal.
"Damn! They are always screwing!" Shannon laughed as he pulled Kasey into a kiss. "Let's go swing. Last one to the swings is a rotten egg!" Shannon shouted to Aidan, Kasey and Faith as they raced over to the swings.
"I can't believe you're going to actually marry him!" Mel fussed as she fiddled with her light yellow bridesmaid gown.
"Well, I'm carrying his child so I'm doing the right thing" Paris said as she frowned and grabbed her side.
