Author's Notes: Constructive criticism always welcome. Flame on if you must, but I tend to be fire retardant. Besides, I don't offend easily and I usually just delete what I don't like anyway, so why waste time and energy.

And now, on with the story. . .

After that, all Mommy talked about was "The Big Day". There were wedding magazines all over the place. She and Daddy talked about cakes and dresses and tuxedoes and music. It seemed like a lot of trouble just to get married.

And, then Mommy told me about how I was going to be the "ring bear". I thought it was cool for a little while until I found out that I didn't get to wear a bear costume. I had to wear a tuxedo. Bears don't wear tuxedoes. I tired to explain that to Mommy, but she just smiled at me and ruffled my hair. Adults are really weird.

Papaw's friend at the tuxedo shop helped all of us find tuxedoes. We all went there together to try them on. There was a lot of us. Daddy decided to wear a really pretty dark burgundy tuxedo with a black tie and DB got a black tuxedo with a dark burgundy tie. They looked really good when they tried them on.

Then a lady stuck a bunch of pins in them and drew on them with chalk. I'd get in trouble if I did that.

Daddy and DB changed out of the tuxedoes and then Daddy said it was my turn. I was still mad that I didn't get to wear a bear costume. The lady with the pins kept wanting to pinch my cheeks and tell me how cute I was. I didn't feel very cute. The tuxedo was too big and itchy and she stuck me with a pin and it hurt.

Daddy said something about me being grumpy. And, I was. Tell a guy he's gonna be a "ring bear" and then not let him be a bear. That's a gip and I was tired and hungry, too.

DF changed into his tuxedo. He looked really handsome, but I was too tired to care. I remember closing my eyes for a second or two and then suddenly waking up in the car.

"Hey, sleepy head." He smiled and I smiled back laying my head on his shoulder as he lifted me out of the car.

DF always smiles big and makes me feel good even when I don't want to feel good. "You hungry, champ?" I nodded against his shoulder and we went into the house. "Okay, grilled cheesus' and chocolate milk coming up."

"Yay." I said. I love DF's grilled cheesus sandwiches.

I don't know why he calls them grilled cheesus instead of just grilled cheese, but they are really good.

"Mommy won't be home for a little while. She's over at Kurt and Blaine's talking their ears off about 'the wedding'." DF said making finger quotes and I smiled around my grilled cheesus. "So, you and me are on our own until she gets home. How about you get a bath, we put on our jammies, and watch 'Up'?"

"'K." I said smiling and drinking the last of my chocolate milk. DF stopped me from jumping down long enough to wipe the chocolate milk off my face. Which was kinda silly considering I was about to get a bath.

After my bath, I went into my bedroom and put on my favorite "Transformer" pajamas. DF was sitting on the couch with his pajamas on when I got back to the living room.

"Hey, champ." He said nodding me over. "Come on, I made some popcorn and I'm about to start the movie."

I jumped over the back of the sofa and landed next to DF. He grinned at me and put the popcorn between us on the sofa. I don't remember when Mommy got home.
