Today was a big day. Jordan and Woody were getting married. Lily was so excited. They were having a huge church wedding in down town Boston. Everything looked so beautiful.

"Jordan?" Lily knocked on the bathroom door. "I need to take the curlers out of your hair."

"Okay." Jordan said softly. She stepped out of the bathroom. Lily grinned brightly. God, she looked so beautiful...minus the curlers.

"Sit." Lily commanded. Jordan nodded and sat down.

"I'm so nervous." She said, "Is it normal? The barfy feeling."
"Yeah." Lily said, "Are you pregnant?"

"Oh god. I hope not." Jordan said, "I'm so not ready for that."

"You'll never be ready for it. Not even when it happens." Lily took out the last of the curlers. She grabbed the hair spray and sprayed all the curls, "man, I love your hair."

"Thanks." She said.

"Jordan?" Max knocked on the door, "Are you decent?"

"Define decent." Jordan said. Lily chuckled.
"She's beautiful. Come in." She said. Max opened the door. Lily stood back and watched the expression on Max's face. It was priceless.

"Jordan..." Max said softly. "You look like your mother."

"But prettier right?" She asked. Max chuckled. Lily smiled softly. She wondered if this how Bug would act when Maya gets married. God, Picturing Maya getting married sent chills down Lily's spine.

"Lils?" Bug knocked on the door, "Everyone in taking their places.

"Oh god." Jordan said, clutching her father's hand.

"Man, you look hot." Bug said.

"Watch who you're talking to." Max chuckled.

"Sorry, sir." Bug smiled.

Woody stood at the altar. Yes, he was going to throw up. The room was sort of spinning around him. This wasn't good. He looked at Bug who gave him the thumbs up. When the music began to, Woody's face turned green. What a way to spend your wedding day.

"He looks like he's going to fall over." Bug whispered to Nigel.

"I have a camera if he does." Nigel bounced Maya on his knee. Everyone turned around to see the bride's maid come down the aisle. Bug smiled at Lily. God, she was so beautiful walking down the aisle.

"Mommy!" Maya giggled as lily stood at the altar.

"Shhh Baby." Bug whispered. The wedding march began to play. Nigel and Bug turned around.

"Wow!" Nigel whispered seeing Jordan walked down the aisle. he sort of wished it was towards him. He looked at Woody. he looked so happy. Jordan walked to Woody's side.

"You're beautiful." Woody whispered. Jordan smiled.

"So are you...In a manly way." She said taking his hand.

"We are gathered here today to see the union of Woodrow Hoyt and Jordan Cavanaugh." The priest raised his hands. Jordan smiled softly at Woody. This was finally happening.

Music blared in the reception hall. Lily bounced Taj on her knees as she watch Maya dance with Nigel. The service had been so wonderful. Lily was so happy to see Jordan and Woody get married. They both deserved some happiness. She glanced at the two of them swaying together on the dance floor. Finally, happiness was engulfing them all.

Maya jumped out of her bed. She liked being mobile. She liked being in a big girl bed. She could do more damage that way. She tiptoed to her brother's bedroom. She looked into the crib.

"Taj, wake up." She shoved him. Taj's eyes flew open. The almost three month old's lips began to quiver. "Shhhhh. Momma seepy." Taj started to scream now.

"Maya Butterfly, what are you doing?" Bug walked into the nursery.

"Nuttin." She flashed him her great big dark eyes.

"Nuttin my butt." Bug reached into the crib and pulled Taj out. he rubbed his back, "Shhhh, boy." Maya frowned deeply.

"Pick me up, Daddy!" She said extending her arms.

"My arms are full, Butterfly." bug said.

"Taj down.' She said.

"Maya, please." Bug said trying to calm Taj down. Maya narrowed her eyes.

"TAJ DOWN!" She snapped.

"No!" Bug snapped, "Get out of his room now!" Maya's eyes grew large. She bolted out of the room and ran down the hallway. Tears started to well in her eyes. Maya threw herself on Lily's bed.

"Daddy mean!!" She sobbed. Lily looked at her with a yawn.

"What did he do now?" She asked. Maya began to moan.

"Yelled!!!" Maya moaned. Lily gathered her daughter up.

"What did you do to make him yell, Butterfly?" Lily asked.

"Nuttin." Maya muttered.

"Now, Maya, I know that isn't true." Lily said, "Is the reason daddy yelled at you the same reason why Taj is crying."

"No." Maya said. Lily kissed Maya's cheek softly.
"Maya sweetheart, tell mommy the truth please." Lily said. Maya sighed softly and thought about it for a moment.

"I woke Taj up." Maya said. "Daddy mad."

"Go apologize to daddy and your brother." Lily said calmly.

"No." Maya said.

"Maya, go apologize." Lily said. Maya groaned slightly and got out of bed. She stamped her little feet all the way until she got to Taj's crib. It was quiet in there. She looked at Bug.

"Daddy, I sorry." Maya said softly. Bug looked at her.

"Do you know why you're apologizing?" Bug asked. Maya nodded.

"Cuz I was bad and mean." Maya said looking at her brother, "I sorry, Taj." Bug smiled softly.

"Thank you, Butterfly. Come here." Bug said. Maya walked over to her father. he leaned over and kissed her softly. "I love you so much, sweetheart." Maya wrapped her arms around Bug's neck.

"Love you too, Daddy." She said. Bug's heart swelled with love every time he heard her say that. He knew it was hard to adjust to a baby brother, but he was thankful she was trying.
