A/n: So I was gonna continue with the angst,but I figured I'd give y'all a somewhat happy wedding/family focused chapter,before I post the angst chapter I have half way written,enjoy, cause its all angst after this. Also I've decided to end this story in about five or more chapters,give or take, so it'll end at between 15-20 chapters,this also means things are gonna get intense and fast too. I don't plan to post more then 10 more chapters in total for this story,and I've already got the ending in my head,so I just have to write it all out.

Chapter: Ten
"Papi,Maya?" Betty called as she walked into her fathers cafe.
"In the kitchen mija." Ignacio called out. Betty walked into the kitchen and embraced her father and step-mother.
"How are you Betty?" Maya asked, after Betty hugged her.
"Good, tired and busy." Betty said.
"Where's Daniel?" Ignacio said seeing that his future son in law was missing.
"He should be here any minute, he had a meeting with Bradford." Betty said, and as she said that she heard Daniel's voice calling her name.
"Betty?" Daniel called out as he walked into the cafe.
"In the kitchen!" Betty called out, letting him know where they were at.
"Hey, am I late?" Daniel said walking in and kissing Betty hello. He then shook Ignacio's hand and gave Maya a hug.
"No, you're right on time." Betty said smiling at her fiancee.
"You two ready to start?" Ignacio asked.
"Yep." Betty said and Daniel nodded.
Ignacio's cafe also had a bakery portion and sometimes they would specialize in wedding cakes. Maya's mother had been a baker. She had taught Maya how to bake cakes when she was a child. So today was essentially a wedding cake tasting for Daniel and Betty.
"Ok,we'll start with the traditional white wedding cake." Ignacio said, and Maya handed Daniel and Betty each a small plates with a piece of cake. They both took a bite.
"What do you think?" Maya asked.
"This is really good,its a plain cake,but it still has so much flavor." Betty said.
"Yeah,wow." Daniel said taking another bite.
"It was my mother's specialty,but don't make your choice yet,we have four more for you to try." Maya said. She brought out another set of plates with a sample of another type of cake.
After the plain white cake, they tasted a white almond cake, Swedish pineapple ,Lemon Raspberry and the last one was a Italian wedding cake. Betty and Daniel loved them all and decided that would think about it and get back to Ignacio and Maya on their choice for the wedding.
"Thanks, so much Papi, Maya, for closing early to do this for us today." Betty said as, they all sat at a table drinking coffee and chatting. Both Betty and Daniel had been too busy to attend any of the weekly family dinners, so this was the first time in awhile since they'd been able to spend time with Betty's parents.
"It was no problem mija." Ignacio said.
"Yes, and it gave us a chance to see you two." Maya said, always happy to see him .
"Yeah, we've both been very busy. It's nice to have this break to spend with family." Daniel said. He'd considered Betty's family,his family,even before he'd proposed to Betty.
"Yeah, it is." Betty said smiling at them. She loved the fact that Daniel got along so well with her family. She hoped for the both of them, that Daniel and her would be able to gain the same kind ,or even something familiar, of relationship,with his father.
"Betty?" Daniel said as he stirred some sauce on the stove. Betty was sitting on the couch typing away on her computer,she had a major deadline coming up for her book.
"Yeah." Betty said without looking up from her computer.
"Come here and taste this." Daniel said as he stirred the sauce.
"Hold on a second." Betty said finishing the sentence she was typing , then getting up off the couch and walking over to Daniel. Daniel blew on a bit of sauce sitting on the stirring spoon, then fed it to Betty.
"Oh my gosh,this is so good." Betty said after tasting it.
"I knew you'd like it, its a new recipe I found." Daniel said with a smirk.
"What's in it?" Betty asked.
"Chef's secret, I'm not telling." Daniel said coyly.
"I bet I could find a way to make you tell me." Betty said seductively, while moving closer to him.
" Ms . Suarez , are you coming on to me?" Daniel said.
"Maybe..." Betty said placing her hands on his chest and running her fingers up and down. Daniel smiled and leaned down connecting his lips to hers. When they broke the kiss , Daniel went back to cooking dinner, while Betty went back to her typing.
"Dinner's ready." Daniel said about twenty minutes later.
"I'm almost done." Betty said typing away furiously.
"It can wait, its been a long day, you need a break, and I need a break." Daniel said walking over and closing her laptop. He then took her hand in his,before she could protest and led her over to the dinner table, where he'd set up a small yet romantic dinner.
"Daniel..." Betty said not sure what to say.
"Sit." Daniel said, and she took a seat.
"Did I miss our anniversary or something?" Betty said. She thought they were going to have a simple dinner,but Daniel had cooked a three course meal,while she'd been concentrating on her writing.
"No, I just wanted you to know how much I love and appreciate you. I know taking on this business venture with my dad hasn't left much time for me and you lately..." Daniel said.
" It's ok I haven't exactly been available either, with the book, wedding and WPB. And I want you to know that I will always support you, we're in this together." Betty said smiling at him.
"I know,I love you Betty." Daniel said leaning across the table and kissing him.
"I love you too." Betty said when they ended the kiss.
They then dug into to their food. Laughing and enjoying each others company. But this was just the calm before the storm,because sometimes despite your best efforts,things don't always go as planned.
A/n: So that's it and as I mentioned before its mostly angst from this point on as you can probably tell from the bit of foreshadowing at the end. I'll try to have the next chapter up tomorrow afternoon/night depending on when I get some free time, because I'll be hanging with family. Thanks for reading,I hope you liked it and next weeks focus will be my Detty "Believe When I Say You're Beautiful", I also hope to update a chapter of "Detty Family Moments" over the weekend, thanks again for reading and as always a review/constructive criticism/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
