A/N: This will be my last update for at least a week. I'm moving back to school on Saturday and the computer lab will not open until Thursday and I want to keep my computer at home to use on the weekends.
Setting a Date
Adam's POV
It has been a couple of days since we talked to the ducks. I ended up calling Charlie back the next day and asked him to be my best man. Of course, he said yes. Over the past few days Julie and I have been getting responses from all of the other ducks via email. We both decided last night that today we would sit down and come up with a date for our wedding, so we could get the invitations in the mail. To make things easier, we printed off a copy of all the return emails from the ducks. We sat down at the table and got to work.
"Alright, well Connie and Guy said they could make it anytime this summer." Julie told me writing it down on a piece of paper so that we could make a chart of when everyone can and can't make it.
"So could Charlie." She nodded as she wrote it down. I on the other hand looked at the first email. It was from Dwayne. He was working on his parent's ranch so that he could one day run it on his own. "Dwayne says he can make it anytime after June. One of the cattle is pregnant and he needs to be there when she gives birth."
"When is the young one due?" Julie asked, looking at me.
I shrugged. "My guess would be sometime in June."
"Okay, so it will be sometime after June. Who's next?"
I looked at the next email, "Goldberg."
"And what is going on with Goldberg?"
"Um, he's living in Philly now. He's looking to start his own restaurant chain. You know, kind of follow in his parent's footsteps." I answered as I read what Goldberg had written back.
"Cool. I always figured Goldberg would do something like that. When can he make it?"
"It says here he has a building inspection in two weeks, but he's free anytime after that." I watched as she wrote it down and I then grabbed the next response. "This one is from Ken. He is training for the winter Olympics in figure skating and can make it anytime as well."
"Alright, who's next?" Julie wrote down the information.
"Fulton and Portman. They are both looking to sign with the Blackhawks as free agents. They don't think they can be drafted so they aren't even going to enter. SO they have training camp through July 15th."
"Alright, so anytime after Julie 15th. Keep going."
"Okay, next one is from Russ. He is still living in Los Angeles. He's mentoring troubled youth there and teaching them to play hockey."
"Aww. That is really nice." Julie answered. What is up with these girls? Every time a guy does something nice, what's the first thing out of their mouths. AWW. I wonder if I will ever understand half the stuff she says or does. "So when can he make it?"
Her words brought me out of my thought and I looked back at the email. "Anytime." I replied then pushed the message to the side so that I could read the next one. "Alright, this one is from Luis. He is also training for the Olympics."
"Really?" Julie asked a little surprised.
"Yeah, in speed skating. He can make it anytime before August. He's going to be competing in some competitions then."
"Alright, I guess that would make sense."
"As long as he doesn't have to stop." I smiled as I thought about how he would always end up crashing into the boards at practice and during games because he couldn't stop. "Alright, the next one is from Averman. He is getting to enroll at Minnesota. He's going for his masters in business administration."
"So anytime before August?"
"Yep." I said as I looked at the next one. "This one is from Jesse. He is in his second year of college and he can also come at anytime."
"Cool and the final two?"
"One is from Bombay and the other is from Orion. Bombay is still with the Jr. Goodwill Games. He says he wouldn't miss our wedding for the world. He could make it at anytime since he is now over the whole tournament. And Orion says he can come at anytime as well. He would love to see us again."
"Alright, so I guess that is everyone. Now let's try to figure this out." Julie said as we took her chart over to the sofa and sat down, snuggling together as we looked it over.
"It has to be sometime in July."
"Well Portman and Fulton have that training camp thing, so it should be in late July." Julie stated the obvious. And to be honest, she could potentially have the same type of schedule; if things goes the way my team wants. The owners finally told me that Julie was the one they wanted and they are going to do everything they have to in order to get her.
"So how about the July 22. That way the bashes will have enough time to get ready and then Averman and Luis will have time to recover before becoming busy un August."
I thought about it for a minute. What she was saying made sense and I was willing to do anything she wanted to do. I smiled as I took her hand in mine as I looked into her eyes. "July 22 it is." I leaned in and gave her a kiss. It felt good to finally come to an agreement on the date.
"Great. Now I need to go shopping." Julie said getting up and heading into our bedroom to get ready. I just shook my head. "Girls."
