CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
The Reception
Every one waited for them to show up at the reception.
"I would like to announce for the first time ever Mr. Lance Hoyt and Mrs Mickie James-Hoyt." said the dj.
Mickie and Lance came into the room.
"And for the first time ever I like to announce Mr Jeffrey Nero Hardy and Mrs Darien Jean Michaels-Hardy."
Jeff and Darien came out slowly.
Shawn came up to her and her husband. "Jeff you take care of my baby girl."
"I will Mr Michaels." said Jeff softly.
"Call me Shawn we are relatives now."
"Oh daddy behave please." said Darien holding onto her husbands arm.
"I will behave baby girl. It is just hard to believe that you are married now." he said softly tears coming to his eyes.
"Oh daddy." She let go of her husband's arm and hugged her father. "Happy birthday. Is this a good birthday present?"
"Yes it is baby girl."
Darien smiled. "Well Jeff and I haven't really made a choice where we are going to live yet."
"I don't want you to leave."
"Daddy..."
He didn't let her go.
"Dad tend to one that we will live in San Antonio, but it is all up to us though."
"Baby don't leave alright. The kids will miss you."
"Dad... we haven't quite yet made a choice yet."
"Well when you go to make your choice don't forget about your siblings. They would miss you too much."
"Alright dad we will think about it alright. We promise we will."
"Alright baby girl." he said letting her go.
"It seems like the two couples must be starving so lets eat!"
Everyone began to eat. After the tables were cleared away the music began to play. Most of the songs were fun and they were easy to follow for most of the people present at the reception. Shawn was trying to dance to the music but it was harder for him. He let out a frustrated sigh. Darien just giggled at what her father was trying to learn.
"Now it is time for the brides to dance with their fathers."
A slow song came on.
Mr. James took Mickie by the hands and danced with his daughter.
Darien walked up to her father and took his hands and began to dance with him.
"Darien have you guys really thought about having kids yet?"
"No not yet dad. You are a young father anyway. At least to me."
"Hey I am old enough to be a grandfather."
"Well I don't want to make you a grandfather unless you want to be a grandfather."
"I do want to be a grandfather. Besides I want to see them once and a while."
"Alright dad. I just am not sure about this."
"Baby it is your wedding night I am not going to say anything about wedding nights."
Darien laughed. "You better not dad. It isn't good to tell your daughter anything that happens on wedding nights."
"That is true. My dad never told me about wedding nights. It was the right thing for the newly weds to learn on their own."
"I will learn on my own dad. Don't worry about it alright."
"Alright. You behave though. Don't drink a lot of alcohol tonight alright."
"I won't even drink dad. You know that I don't drink. It impairs my driving and that."
"Well honey. You better be ready for a long night then."
"I am intending to have a good night tonight."
"Alright. I will be leaving in the morning and that."
"Alright do you want me to say good bye to you."
"You will give me a call right when you find out what you are going to do?"
"Yes."
"Alright that is a good thing." He hugged her. "You will be a great mother."
"Thank you."
Later that night...
Jeff and Darien decided to stay at her house.
Darien sat down on her bed. "Jeff."
"Yes?"
"Baby I want to know something."
"What is it?"
"Where are we going to live at?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is what state are we going to live in?"
"Like North Carolina or Texas?"
"Yes."
"Baby I really want to stay near my father and that."
"My father wants me to be near my half siblings."
"Well... we will have to do some thinking about this."
"How about we try to think about it right now."
"Alright baby we will do this now as long as it makes your dad feel better about it."
"Well you want to stay near your father even though Matt is living there with Eruanna."
"That is right."
"I want to stay near my family to make sure my half siblings get what they want."
"They can be like our children as well."
"Well they are younger then us. I guess so."
"Well then it is decided we will stay here."
"Thank you Jeff."
"Come on over here."
She came over to him.
He pulled her onto his lap. "I love you."
"I love you too."
He kissed her softly on the lips. "Come on baby."
