Now on with the next installment of my story Tribulation. Thanks in advance for reviews!

Chapter 6: Rosalie and Dax

Rosalie laid on her stomach on her bed flipping through the latest bridal magazines and catalogs. She was having a ball planning her wedding to Dakota. She had it all planned, there were going to be at least 200 guests, huge reception hall and a DJ. So far, the cost of the wedding was up to 15,000 dollars, but she didn't care. She was getting married to the most wonderful person in the world and she was doing it only one time.

She still needed to pay for the reception hall and the church, but that would happen when she actually had a wedding date picked out. She flipped through the catalog and found the perfect wedding invitations. They were cream colored with gold lettering in Black Chancery print.

She got off the bed and walked down the halls of Xavier Estates. They had been moved in for about a week, but she still felt like she needed a map to find the bathroom. There were 100 rooms in the estate. She walked down the staircase into the living room. Dax was lying on the floor playing with toy trucks with Alex.

"Hey guys," smiled Rosalie.

"Hey Aunt Rosa."

"Hey honey," said Dax with a smile.

"Alex honey, is that a new truck?"

"Yeah, uncle Dax got it for me."

"Wow, that was nice of him."

"Yeah, it was a gift for me, to celebrate something, I forgot."

Rosalie laughed, "Everyday is a celebration Alex."

"Right! Uncle Dakota, do you remember why we celebrated?"

"Yes I do, but I think your mom wanted to surprise everyone for dinner tonight."

"Ok, then it's a secret Aunt Rosa."

"All right, well you mind if I borrow uncle Dax for a second?"

"Sure, I need a nap anyway."

They watched as Alex walked up the stairs, "So what did you want me for?" asked Dax.

"I wanted to know your opinion on these wedding invitation? I'm thinking 200 will be enough to order, what do you think?

"200?"

"Yeah, why do you think we need more?"

"No, but I don't know 200 people."

"I don't either, but I want to have plenty of extras."

"Then get 100," smiled Dax.

"Fine, whatever, do you like the design?"

Dax took the catalog; he did like the design but the price almost made him choke, "$500.00, for 100!"

"Yeah, isn't that a great price?"

"Did you forget to tell me you were rich?"

"I'm not rich, but I do have money set aside for special occasions."

"Honey I want our wedding day to be special, but aren't you going a little overboard with the spending?"

"No, why?"

"Just wondering, that's all."

"Well don't worry about it. Oh by the way, tonight we need to pick a date so I can rent the reception hall and church. Also need to find the right dress.."

"Reception hall and church? I was hoping to have the reception here and get married in the chapel where my parents were married."

"Ok we can have the wedding at the chapel, but we need a reception hall honey."

"How much?"

"Just $2,000."

"For the night, that's not bad."

"No silly, per hour."

"Are you insane?"

"No why?"

"You have no idea how much money you are planning to spend. I don't want to start our new life together in debt!"

"We won't be, are you sure you just nervous about money and not nervous about marrying me?"

"I want to marry you, but I don't want a huge wedding that cost a lot a money. We can have the reception here for free Rosalie!"

"You know what, fine we'll do it your way. Who cares that I'm not happy."

Rosalie left the room and headed up the stairs. Dakota sat down on the sofa and ran his hands through his hair. ' I hope Max is having this much fun planning his wedding.'

Everyone sat at the dining room table waiting for Jesse and Melodie to join them for dinner. Adam told them that they couldn't start eating until Jess and Mel did in fact join them. Everyone was silent looking at each other. Almost everyone knew that Rosalie and Dakota were fighting about wedding plans. Furthermore, they were to the point that she was thinking of calling off the wedding.

Just 10 minutes before dinner and in front of everyone she had told Dakota that she was thinking of calling it all off. He angrily told her that if she took the engagement ring off, she was never getting it back or him for that matter. Emma had talked them into waiting till later that night to make a decision.

Jesse came walking into the room with Mel and they sat down. Adam stood up, "All right, now that everyone is here. I have an announcement. Well actually, Mel has an announcement, but she has asked me to deliver it to you all. Today I re-run Melodie's tests.."

"And?" asked Jesse without letting Adam finish. He wanted to hear the words, "the tests were wrong" so bad it hurt.

"Jesse, let him finish," said Melodie.

"Sorry Adam, but hurry up."

"Jesse, you and Shal were right to get me to rerun the test. They are two things that can make the white cell count go up and I'm happy to report that in Melodies case, it's not cancer."

"Yeah!" yelled both Shal and Jesse. Jesse hugged a crying Melodie. "Honey this is wonderful, I love you so much!" He kissed her forehead.

"Wait, what's the other thing?" asked Shal. "What made her white cell count go so high?"

"Well in a normal female it would have raise a little, but she's not a normal female," smiled Adam. "Jesse, you're going to be a daddy again."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant," said Melodie. "Can you believe it?"

"I can't believe it, but I am so happy!"

Everyone congratulated Jesse and Mel. Ashley was the first to speak once they all sat down to eat, "I hate to sound like the 16 year old teenager here, but is everyone having sex but me?"

Everyone laughed, Ashlocke cleared his throat, "No son, not everyone."

"Ok so it's just us two," he joked, "And Adam."

"I'm not doing it," said Josh, "Neither is Zack."

"Neither am I," smiled Mari, "and I'm not going to around here, everyone seems to get pregnant too fast around here. Not that you two got pregnant too fast, you know what I mean."

"Yeah and just to clarify, I'm not pregnant," joked Jesse.

Everyone laughed and they begin eating. About halfway through the dinner, Rosalie broke the silence, "Alex?"

"Yeah Aunt Rosa?"

"You know that pretty pictures you've been drawing lately, the moon and stars.

"Yeah."

"You think you could help me draw some pictures tomorrow?"

"Sure, what for?"

"Homemade wedding invitations."

"Cool."

"Adam, I also need your help."

"What for?"

"I need the mansion for a reception."

"Done."

"Shal, would you mind going with me to the mall tomorrow and helping me pick out a nice dress for my wedding."

"Would love to."

"Why the change of heart?" asked Dax.

"Cause I don't need a fancy dress and wedding to marry the man of my dreams."

"I love you Rosalie."

"Love you too."

"All right, finally you two made up," said Lexa. "Can I ask them now?"

"Ask us what?" asked Rosalie.

"Me and Max were talking earlier and we picked a wedding date. We wanted to know if you two would like to do a double ceremony with us?"

"That would be great, are you sure you two won't mind?"

"We're sure," smiled Max.

"Alright, then a double ceremony it is."

All right, I'm ending it here. I also wanted to tell you that I checked my facts on the white blood cell rising during pregnancy it's all true! Just want you all to know I didn't make it up. Thanks in advance for reviews, please leave one!
