Chapter Thirteen

A Family Celebration

Skye sat in the boathouse with a smile on her face as she planned her and Luke's upcoming engagement party. The phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello, Skye Chandler-Quartermaine speaking."

"Hey, sis. I need your help," came the voice of her adoptive half-brother, JR Chandler.

"Help with what, JR? I'm busy with my own things," Skye said.

"What things could you be busy with, Skye, that you couldn't help me get my son back," JR said.

Skye sighed. She had heard what had happened with the baby switch, but she also knew something that JR did not. She knew that the baby that Babe had given birth to wasn't his, but Jamie's son. "JR, we will talk about that when you come for a very special event up here," she said.

"What special event?" JR asked her.

"Did you not hear, JR? I got engaged to Luke Spencer and we're having our engagement party in a few days. I sent an invitation to you and Adam. Didn't you get it?" Skye asked.

She could hear JR shuffling through the papers on his desk, or rather Adam's desk, in Pine Valley. A moment later, his voice came over the line. "Here it is. Dad must have put it on the desk a few days ago, but I must have missed it. Of course we'll be there. At least I will. I can't say the same for dad," JR said.

"I understand. I contacted Hayley and Mateo as well and Lulu, my future stepdaughter, said they RSVP'd a few days ago, so they will be here as well," Skye said.

"It will be nice to see them. See you in two days, sis," JR says before hanging up the phone.

Skye sighs. Then she quickly called Lulu to give her JR's RSVP and to tell her to mark down Adam as well.


Two days later

Skye surveys the ballroom of the Haunted Star before walking down the hall to where Luke is getting ready for the party. He comes out of his room, dressed in a silver tux with a white tie. "Hey, Blaze, what do you think?"

"Oh, Luke, you look absolutely amazing! You look so wonderful!" Skye exclaimed.

"And you don't look so bad yourself, Blaze. How's our bambino dong?" Luke asked.

"He or she is doing just fine," Skye said, placing a light hand over her stomach. She had found out that the problem she had had before was actually a lie, perpetrated by Brenda, who did not want Skye to have a child with Jax.

Skye had chosen an off-white gown with sequins lining the cuffs of the dress as well as a strip around the waist, and lining the neckline and hem. It was very simple, but very flattering.

Luke offered her his arm and they headed back to the ballroom, where their family had appeared in the few minutes. Leslie Lu, who had helped by offering to do the record keeping of the guests who had RSVP'd, took her place at the door, dressed in a midnight blue evening gown that was very modest. She had, after all, gone shopping with her sisters-in-law and both knew that Lucky, Luke, Connor, and Nikolas would have a heart attack if they would have let her choose some of the dresses she had tried on. She was definitely a wild child.

Theresa wore a very demure copper-colored gown which hugged her curves to perfection. Lucky stood beside her, dressed in a Navy blue tux with a silver vest underneath and a navy blue bowtie. Mary and Connor were right behind them. Mary had chosen a black silk dress with satin silver inlays. It was very demure and matched Connor's black tux with silver vest. Both had a look on their faces like the cat who ate the canary. Emily and Nikolas were sitting at a side table. Emily wore a glittery gray gown that somewhat disguised the fact that she was almost seven months pregnant. Nikolas wore a matching gray tux with a silver vest.

Luke gazed over at Mary and Connor and smirked. "What's going on, you two?"

"Yeah, you two look like you're about to burst," Skye said.

Mary exchanged a look with her husband and turned to their family. "We're going to have a baby! I'm pregnant!"

"That's wonderful! This family is growing so fast. Baby's all around!" Luke exclaimed happily.

"No kidding. I'm due in seven months, same with Gwen, Em, you're due in about two months, and now another baby with you, Mary," Skye said.

"And five months ago it was Lucky and Theresa with the girls," Emily said.

"And Theresa and I want to wait a while before we have more kids. The twins and EM are enough of a handful already. Just wait until all our new family members are here," Lucky said.


An hour passed and the party was in full swing as Adam and JR walked in. Skye smiled and crossed the room.

"Hi dad, JR! Glad you could make it!" Skye exclaimed.

Adam embraced his adoptive daughter warmly. He loved to see Skye smile. It was very obvious to him that Luke was good for her. "I'm happy for you, sweetheart! I've never seen you this happy before!"

"Is it Luke or is something else making you so happy?" JR asked as he embraced his adoptive sister.

"Luke is part of it and so is my other news. Dad, JR, how does a baby sound to you?" Skye asked coyly.

Adam's face lit up. "Oh my god! Are you saying I'm going to be a grandfather again?"

"Yes, dad, I'm pregnant with the next Spencer child! Though it is a little weird, considering I'm not only going to be a mom and stepmom, but a stepgrandma as well," Skye said with a smile.

"You're kidding! There is no way that I could be a great-uncle already!" JR exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, there is! Luke's son Lucky has three kids, Ethan, Lily, and Laurel. His stepsons Nikolas and Connor each have a child on the way as well," Skye informs Adam and JR. "The only one that isn't in that same boat, at least not yet, is Leslie Lu. And it won't happen until she's old enough."

"With three older brothers, I can understand that," Adam said.

"Not just them, but I'm sure her sisters-in-law keep a close eye on her," JR said.

"No doubt. When she got taken shopping by Theresa and Mary, they made sure she got a dress that Luke and Laura would approve of. She's right over there," Skye said, pointing at Lu, who was over talking with Georgie, Lucas, and Dillon.

"Wow! She's beautiful," JR said appreciatively.

"Hold it right there, JR! She's only 16. And she gets in enough trouble as it is," Skye said.

JR cringed. He didn't think that she was that young. "Sorry, Skye. She's younger than she looks."
