Mother's day had arrived. Tracy and Link were going to watch Margaret while her parents were in the honeymoon suite. Nick and Jessica were due to arrive on June thirtieth. They were staying till July tenth. Their visit was unknown to Amber. Tracy and Link wanted it to be a surprise. Marley had been fitted into a doggy tux. Tracy, and the other bride maids had been fitted into very Sexy stylish blue dresses. Nick and Jessica wanted children and on several occasions tried to conceive a baby using unprotected sex. Link put a lot of thought into a gift for Tracy's first Mother's Day. He wanted to give her something special. He did come up with a perfect gift. He woke up around eight that morning. He checked on the twins who were sleeping soundly in their cribs. After checking on them he quietly walked to the kitchen. The dogs followed him. He saw them and smiled as he bent down to scratch their heads. He received licks in return.
"Morning guys."
He started making chocolate chip pancakes and sausages. He fed the dogs while it cooked. He placed the cooked food on a tray with flowers, a card and three gifts. He carefully walked into the bedroom and found Tracy still fast asleep. He placed the tray on the bedside table before kneeling in front of her. He gave her a loving kiss and her eyes fluttered open.
"Morning Sexy Happy Mother's Day."
"Thanks Linky."
She pulled him close and French kissed him.
"You're welcome gorgeous do you want to do gifts now or after breakfast?"
"After breakfast because I am starved."
Link took the tray and placed it between them on the bed. Marley jumped onto the bed and went straight for a sausage.
"Apparently somebody else is as well."
"I already fed him."
"I guess one more bite won't hurt."
She cut him a bite and gave it to him. He wagged his tail as he ate it. Julia jumped on the bed and climbed over to Tracy.
"It's only fair that I give you a bite too."
She cut Julia a bite too. Link and Tracy began to eat. After finishing he handed Tracy her gifts.
"As well as these I am also giving you the days off of child care."
"You're so sweet to do that for me."
"You deserve it cutie."
She opened the card first. It read-
Tracy,
You are the most loving person I know and you are the greatest mom to our children. I hope that you enjoy this day; it's the first of many Mother's Day's
Love,
Link
Tracy opened her gifts. She received a gift certificate for a day at the spa, several boxes of chocolates, and a locket with a picture of the twins with the dogs.
"Thanks Linky."
"You deserve it angel."
Tracy kissed Link. He parted his lips and her tongue slipped into his mouth turning it into a French kiss. She grabbed his neck pulling him closer. His arms wrapped around her back holding her near him. Their lips and tongue continued to dance with each other her before the need of oxygen ended it. Once Link breathed in and out enough times, he kissed her neck. Tracy giggled. He unbuttoned her nightgown to nibble on her breast. Tracy whimpered at his touch. Before they could go any further Adam cried from within his room. Tracy buttoned up her nightgown as she and Link got out of bed.
Link turned to her. "You have the day off remember?"
She nodded as she headed to the door. "I remember, but I have a right to see my own children.
"You do have that right."
They headed to the nursery finding Linda awake as well. She was lying in her crib starring at them. They went over to Adam and Tracy picked him up.
She kissed his cheek. "Morning sweetie."
He smiled and tried to grab her nose. Link took him so that he could feed him. Adam was full and a little drowsy five minutes later when Link put him back in the crib. Tracy walked over to Linda and picked her up.
She kissed her cheek. "Morning sweetie."
Link took her and she immediately held on his hand with her own tiny one. Link fed her. Before he could place her in her crib Marley ran in and licked her. She giggled at him. Marley turned to Adam but whined upon finding that he couldn't lick him too. Tracy picked Adam up and held him so that Marley could reach him. Adam giggled as Marley licked him.
"Marley is telling them good morning," Tracy told Link.
"And they like that he is," Link responded glancing at the twins.
He looked up at Tracy. "So beautiful what do you have planned for today other then going to see our parents?"
"I thought that I'd go to the dog park with the dogs and I am going to the smoke house for dinner with Penny and Amber."
"Can we work sex in after dinner?"
She gave him a French kiss. "Read my lips."
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Yes."
"Great will you want any wine?"
"Yes can you get two bottles of wine chilled?"
"Absolutely cutie. Can the twins and I go to the dog park with you?"
"I'd rather go by myself because I really want alone time with the dogs."
"All right."
A little while later they were eating lunch. Link made roast beef and cheese sandwiches with chips. For dessert they had the delicious chocolate pie with the homemade whipped cream that Tracy made the day before
"I am going to the dog park after lunch."
"All right. We'll go see our parents after you get back."
"Yeah."
Tracy grabbed the dog leashes after she had finished her sandwich and pie.
"Who wants to go to the park?" she asked loud enough for Marley and Julia to hear.
They heard her and ran up to her. In their excitement they almost knocked her over. Link caught her before she hit the ground and helped her put the leashes on their collars.
He kissed her. "Have fun with the dog's cutie."
"I will Linky."
She kissed him again. Adam began crying as they left.
Link picked him up and kissed his cheek." Don't worry mama will be home soon."
Fifteen minutes later the twins were lying on a blanket playing with a set of blocks that Beebe had given them. Link was watching TV. Link looked over to the blanket and saw Linda but Adam was missing. His eyes searched the room. He let out a sigh when he noticed Adam crawling towards the couch.
"Adam you're crawling!"
He picked him up and kissed his cheek. Adam giggled, reaching for Link. Linda had watched Adam crawl and wanted to herself. She attempted to mimic her brother but ended up falling on her face. She let out a shriek as tears fell down her face.
Link placed Adam back on the blanket and picked up Linda. He kissed her cheek and she smiled and reached for him. "It's all right sweetie you'll learn to crawl soon."
Half an hour later Tracy, Marley and Julia walked through the door.
"We're home. "
Adam crawled to Tracy. She swept him into her arms and kissed his cheek. He giggled as he reached for her.
"Hey sweetie I see I missed my little guy learning to crawl."
She put him down, and felt a warm pair of hands circle her waist. A warm kiss on her neck soon followed making her giggle.
"Hey cutie."
"Hey Linky."
"How was the dog park?"
"It was good thanks. I see Adam learned to crawl while I was gone."
"Yes he did. Linda tried too, but fell instead."
"She'll learn eventually. Whose parents do you want to see first?"
"How about mine."
"All right."
"Let me call them then we'll go."
"All right."
Link called his mom to tell her that they were coming. Tracy helped him get the twins ready. They grabbed a card, flowers and two gifts from the dining room before walking outside. After securing the twins in their cars seats Link let Tracy slide in before closing the door. He then got into the driver's side and drove to his parent's house. Link took the strollers out of the trunk and placed the twins in them. Tracy held onto the card, flowers and gifts. She knocked on the door and a minute later Beebe opened it and ushered her in.
"Happy Mother's Day mom," Tracy said as she handed her the flowers, the card and the gifts.
Beebe hugged her. "You too sweetie."
She handed Tracy a gift and flowers. Both women looked up to see Link come through the door.
"Happy Mother's Day mom."
Beebe hugged him. "Thanks sweetie."
Link put the twins on the floor and they sat down. Beebe opened her gifts first. She found chocolates and a locket with a picture of the twins. She opened the card last. It read-
Mom,
You've taken care of every bump and bruise that I received. You've made sure that I ate all of my vegetables so that I would grow up big and strong. You've been with me every step of the way and on this special day I just wanted to say "thank you" for every little thing that you did for me as I grew up.
Love,
Link & Tracy.
"Thanks sweeties."
"You're welcome mom," both Tracy and Link said.
Tracy opened her gift to discover nice picture frame.
"Thanks mom."
"You're welcome sweetie."
Reba ran in carrying a ball in her mouth. She dropped it in front of Adam and he threw it for her. He then raced her to it.
"I see somebody learned to crawl."
"Yes he did and I missed it."
"You'll see other milestones when he reaches them. Has Linda learned to crawl yet?"
"Not yet."
"I'm sure she'll learn to crawl soon."
"I'm sure she will and hope that I don't miss her learning to crawl."
"I hope you don't either cutie."
Beebe picked up the twins and kissed both their cheeks.
They stayed for a while longer before deciding it was time to leave.
"We better be going to see my parents," Tracy said.
"All right sweeties thanks for the gifts and for coming by."
Tracy and Link hugged her again. "We enjoyed the visit."
Link placed the twins in their stroller and they headed to the car for a ride to the Turnblads.
After visiting with the Turnblads the next Mother's Day activity centered on dinner at the smoke house. Tracy wore a dark blue dress. She adorned it with a necklace and earring from Link, along with the bracelet from her parents. As she walked into the restaurant Tracy carried two bouquets of roses and two gifts. She was shown to a table. A few minutes later Amber walked in and joined her.
"Happy Mother's Day Am," Tracy said handing her one of the bouquets and gifts.
"You too Tra."
"What did Link give you for Mother's Day?"
"Flowers, chocolates, my favorite breakfast in bed, a card, a gift certificate for a day at the spa, and the best gift that he can possibly give a day off of taking care of the twins."
"Lucky dog."
"What happened?" Penny asked as she entered.
"Linky gave me the day off of taking care of the twins so I pretty much relaxed all day."
"No fair I had to take care of Mathew all day."
"And I had to take care of Margaret two."
"I'm sorry you had to do that."
Tracy handed the other bouquet and gift to Penny a minute before their waitress walked over to them.
Evening ladies what can I get you to drink?"
"We'll take a bottle of wine," Amber said.
"Can I also have a cherry coke light ice?" Tracy asked.
The waitress nodded and walked away.
Amber looked at her. "I am surprised that you don't want wine."
"Yeah," Penny added.
"I do, but I want to wait until I get home to drink with Link."
"How do you know that he'd want to?" Amber asked.
"We talked about it earlier."
"Oh."
The waitress returned with their drinks.
"Are you ladies ready to order?"
They nodded.
"What can I get for you?"
"I'll have a smoke house burger with extra cheese, and sauce with an order or chilly cheese fries," Tracy answered.
"That sounds good to me. Make that two," Amber told her.
"Me too, make that three," Penny added.
The waitress nodded and walked away. Amber and Penny handed their gifts out. They opened their gifts together. It was no surprise when they found charm bracelets since they had agreed upon giving them to each other.
"So Tra what did Link give you for Mother's Day other than the day off?"
"He brought me my favorite breakfast in bed, gave me flowers, chocolates, a card, a locket with a picture of the twins and the dogs, and a gift certificate for a day at the spa. What did Corny give you Am?"
"A locket with a picture of Margaret he took while she was napping. He also brought my favorite breakfast in bed and gave me flowers, chocolates, and a card."
"What did Seaweed give you Pen?
"He brought me my favorite breakfast in bed, a locket with a picture of Mathew, a card, flowers, and chocolates."
"Seems like the boys had pretty much the same idea," Tracy said.
"Yes they did you were so lucky to have the day off of taking care of the twins."
"I know, but I wasn't home when Adam learned to crawl."
"He crawled!" Penny said.
Tracy nodded. "He crawled to the couch."
"Hopefully you won't miss Linda starting to crawl."
"I hope not either."
"You must be upset that Adam learned to crawl when you weren't home."
"Yes, I must say I was really surprised when he crawled to me when I got home from the dog park.
"I bet. Are you going to use your spa gift certificate?" Amber asked.
"Yes I am probably going to leave Link with the twins next Saturday so that I can use it."
"If you ask me he deserves a break after today."
"Yeah you're right. I'll ask his mom to keep them while I am there."
"That sounds like a nice idea."
The waitress returned with their food and placed the plates in front of them.
"Can I get anything else for you?" she asked.
"Can I have another cherry coke?"
"And we'll take another bottle of wine?" Amber asked.
"Absolutely."
She took Tracy's glass and the bottle of wine with her. The girls had begun eating when the waitress returned a minute later with the coke and wine. It didn't take long for Tracy, Amber and Penny to finish their meals.
The waitress walked back over to them. "Did any of you save room for dessert?"
"Yes I'll take two pieces of chocolate pie, one to go," Tracy told her.
"I'll take a piece of chocolate pie," Amber said.
"So will I," Penny added.
The waitress nodded and walked away.
"Tracy you're so sweet to bring Link a piece of pie," Amber said.
"He deserves it after taking care of the twins all by himself."
"That he does."
When Tracy returned home she searched for Link. When she entered the bedroom she felt a warm pair of arms circle her waist and a kiss on her neck. She giggled before tilted her head back and gave Link a French kiss.
"Hey Sexy how was dinner?"
"It was good. I brought you a reward for taking care of the twins by your self."
"Thanks, but I've already had dinner."
"Well it must be your lucky day because I brought desert."
"You're so sweet to do that for me."
"You deserve it Linky."
Link got out a bottle of wine and they shared it while Link ate his dessert. Soon they uncorked the second bottle. They staggered to the bedroom upon finishing the second bottle. They discarded their clothes along the way.
In the bedroom they got under the covers. Link lingered atop Tracy and he began kissing every inch of her face and neck causing her to giggle. Next he nibbled on it also causing her to giggle. He then moved to her ear, nibbling on it. This caused her to whimper. Next he licked it causing her to growl. He then placed kisses down her body pausing at her breast to nibble on them causing her to whimper once again. He also licked them causing her to moan happily before pinching them to make her gasp. Then he squeezed them before placing kisses all along her arm.
Tracy moaned. Oh Linky."
Tracy then rolled over so that she was on top. She rubbed Link's inner thigh, making him whimper. She moved to Link's neck placing kisses on it before sucking on Link's ear. He moaned at her lips on his ear. Next she ran her tongue over Link's mouth. He opened it knowing it meant one of two things both of which he loved. Next she began to nibble on his lower lip causing him to whimper. They continued their ministrations for a while falling asleep in each other's arms.
Link had an appointment the next afternoon with his mom. He left for it after work, leaving Tracy to pick up the twins. After she picked them up from her parent's house she drove home. She placed a blanket on the floor before putting Linda and Adam upon it. Tracy left their blocks next to them and sat on the couch to watch TV. Marley came in the room and dropped a tennis ball near her feet. Adam saw it and raced Marley to it when Tracy threw it across the room. Linda was playing with the blocks that Beebe had given them. Julia was watching Marley. She grabbed a tennis ball and walked into the room wanting to play along with him. Linda saw Julia drop the ball close to Tracy and decided that she wanted to get it. So she got up on her hands and knees and began moving towards it. Tracy glanced over at the blanket and noticed that Linda was no longer on it. Worried, she searched the room. She let out a sigh when she found Linda crawling towards Julia and the ball. .
She jumped up and ran to her before sweeping her into her arms. "Linda you're crawling!"
Linda giggled as she reached for her. Link walked through the door in the middle of the celebration.
"Hey Linky."
"Hey cutie."
"How was your appointment?"
"It was good."
He took Linda from Tracy's arms. "How is my little girl doing?"
"You just missed her crawling."
"Shoot I was hoping that I wouldn't."
"Just like I was hoping that I wouldn't miss Adam learning to crawl."
"How did the twins do today?"
"They did well. My mom said that Adam was exploring all day and that Jack was helping keep him out of trouble."
"We need to find a way to thank Jack later."
Tracy nodded. "He's a good watchdog."
June fifteenth was Father's Day. Tracy had decided that since he let her have the day off on Mother's Day that she would do the same for him on this day. It was close to Amber and Corny's wedding and with each day they were getting more anxious for it to arrive. Jessica and Nick were both looking forward to going to Baltimore. They were both excited to see their friends and Nick was curious to meet everyone that he hadn't gotten the chance to meet before. Jessica awoke that morning feeling queasy. She ran to the bathroom. She was still there a little while later when Angela walked by.
"Morning Jess are you all right?"
"No I've been throwing up for a few hours."
"You better stay home from work today."
"But Nick and I were supposed to go out tonight,"
"You'll have to take a rain check then."
Her stomach grumbled unhappily. "All right can you tell him that I am very sorry?"
"Absolutely."
"Call me if you need anything today," Angela said as she walked out the door.
"I will thanks."
When Angela arrived at the theater she found Nick looking around searching for Jessica. He walked over to Angela when he saw her.
"Morning Angela have you seen Jessica?"
"She isn't feeling well today."
"Is she alright?"
"I think she just needs a day or two off," she answered.
"Shoot we were supposed to go out."
"She told me to tell you that she is sorry that she can't go out with you tonight."
"Do you think it would be all right for me to go see her?"
"That's fine. I think it's sweet that you want to go see your sick girlfriend and know that she will agree with me."
"Yeah you're right. I have to run a few errands after work so can you tell her that I am coming after I run them?"
"Sure."
Jessica was in the bedroom wearing a pink bathrobe when Angela arrived home from work.
"Hey Jess are you feeling better?"
"A little did you tell Nick that I was sorry?"
"Yes."
"Was he mad?"
"No in fact he is running a few errands than he is going to come by and see you."
"I think it's sweet that he wants to see me.
"We knew that you would."
Half an hour later Nick knocked at the door. Jessica opened it and allowed him inside. He was carrying a bag and a bouquet of roses. Once the door had been closed she flew into his arms and French kissed him.
"Hey Nicky you're so sweet to bring your sick girlfriend her favorite flowers."
"I'd buy you a million flowers if I could baby."
"Oh Nicky that's so sweet."
He leaned down and captured her lips again for another French kiss. He then moved to her neck and kissed it.
"I also brought us dinner from the stage deli."
"Thanks."
"Anything for you baby."
Nick bought two roast beef and cheese sandwiches and two pieces of chocolate cheesecake for them to eat. He grabbed some plates and napkins and they sat down at the table to eat.
"Angel can we make out after dinner?"
"I love to Nicky."
They finished dinner and dessert before retreating to Jessica's bedroom.
A little while later Nick stood up and fixed his shirt. "I better be going."
"All right if I don't go to work tomorrow can you come spend some quality time with your girlfriend?"
"Absolutely doll face."
Two days passed and Jessica was still queasy. She was in the bathroom when Angela walked by.
"Morning Jess you really should consider going to the doctor."
"I agree. Can you please bring me a piece of paper and a pen so that I can write his name and number down so that you can give him a call, and make me an appointment?"
"Sure. I'll be right back."
Angela soon returned and handed her the paper and pen. Jessica scribbled down a name and number then handed the paper back to Angela. She left the room for ten minutes and came back.
"You have an appointment at 11am," she told Jessica.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jessica felt well enough to drive to the doctors. She was shown into a room. She didn't have to wait long before her doctor, Dr. Bonds, entered.
"How have you been feeling Jessica?"
"Lately not so good."
"What symptoms have you been experiencing?"
"For the past three days I've been throwing up, been especially tired, and it's been two months since my last period."
"It seems like you may be pregnant."
"Boy I hope I am."
"Let me run a few test."
He walked out and returned shortly after with a needle. He took some blood.
"Come back in two days."
She nodded. "Will do."
Two days later Jessica was back in Dr. Bond's office. The clock read that it was ten o'clock when he entered.
"Jessica you're pregnant."
She smiled. "Really!? That's great!"
"I hope that the father is as excited as you are."
"I'm sure that he will be."
After the appointment she went by the theater to invite Nick to dinner. She thought that would be the perfect way to tell him the news.
"Hey Nicky."
He French kissed her. "Hey baby how are you feeling?"
"A little better," she told them when they parted.
"How did your appointment go?"
"It went well. I was wondering if you'd like to come to dinner?"
"I'd love to. Will you please tell me what's wrong?"
"I'll tell you later."
He looked into her eyes and decided that she wasn't going to say more. "All right I'll see you later baby."
She kissed him before leaving. "All right."
Upon leaving the theater Jessica dropped by the grocery store to pick up the items needed to make Nick's favorite meal. She arrived home soon after and began preparing everything.
Around six that evening there was a knock at the door. Jessica opened it to see Nick.
He took her in his arms and kissed her. Her tongue slid into his mouth as the kiss turned into a French kiss.
"Hey angel."
"Hey Nicky."
"What's for dinner?"
"Burgers, fries, and chocolate pie."
"Hmm… my favorite."
Jessica smiled. "I know."
Nick helped her bring the food to the table before pulling out her chair for her. She sat and he did the same. Everything was delicious and both were full when they finished.
Nick turned so that he could look her straight in the eyes. "So what's wrong with my little beauty queen?"
"She's pregnant."
"Really?"
"Yes!" Jessica exclaimed.
He wrapped his arms around her and crashed his lips onto hers, allowing their tongues to mingle. They began working their way to the bedroom where they collapsed onto the bed with Jessica on top. She rolled off Nick and they started taking each other's clothes off. Nick maneuvered so that he was lingering above Jessica. He began kissing every inch of her face and neck causing her to giggle. Next he nibbled on it also causing her to giggle. He then moved to her ear, nibbling on it. This caused her to whimper. Next he licked it causing her to growl. He then placed kisses down her body pausing at her breast to nibble on them causing her to whimper once again. He also licked them causing her to moan happily before pinching them to make her gasp. Then he squeezed them before placing kisses all along her arm.
Jessica moaned. "Oh Nicky."
Jessica then rolled over so that she was on top. She rubbed Nick's inner thigh, making him whimper. She then kisses his chest. She moved to Nick's neck placing kisses on it before sucking on Nick's ear. He moaned at her lips on his ear. Next she ran her tongue over Nick's mouth. He opened it knowing it meant one of two things both of which he loved. Next she began to nibble on his lower lip causing him to whimper. They continued their ministrations for a while.
Nick and Jessica's arrival was still unknown to Amber and Corny when June thirtieth arrived. Edna watched all four children while their parents went out. Around noontime Tracy heard the phone ring. She picked it up and minutes later hung it back up.
"Who wants to run some wedding errands?" Tracy asked.
She received a general "yes" from everybody. They all headed out, soon finding their way to the airport.
"I thought you said wedding errands," Amber said.
"So I lied."
Amber spotted Nick and Jessica coming up to the car. Nick was holding suitcases.
Amber smiled. "Is that who I think it is?"
Tracy smiled as well "Yes it is."
"Are staying for my wedding?"
"They are staying till the tenth. Surprise!"
Amber hugged her as best she could since they were in the car. "I can't believe you did this!"
Nick put the suitcases in the trunk while Jessica got in the car. He soon followed.
"Hey guys!" Tracy and Penny said.
"I can't believe you're here!" Amber added.
"We couldn't miss your wedding," they told her after greeting the others.
"So Jessica what have you been up to?" Tracy asked?
"I have been working at the theater a lot and…"
Nick turned to her. "Can I be the one to tell them doll face?"
"Sure."
"We found out on the twentieth that Jessica is pregnant."
"That's incredible! You wanted to have a baby," Tracy told her.
Jessica put one hand on her stomach and looked up at Nick smiling. "It's wonderful."
She then turned to Tracy, Amber and Penny. "I can't wait to meet the kids, and see their personalities."
"All four are at our house being watched by my mom."
"Bet they are a handful."
"Yeah but my mom enjoys caring for them," Tracy said.
"Can Julia sleep with us again?"
"That's fine," Tracy told her.
"Who's Julia?" Nick asked.
"One of the two dogs that we have," Tracy answered.
They arrived at the house and Nick grabbed the suitcases again before following the girls inside.
"We're home."
Edna headed into the living room.
"Ma I'd like for you to meet Jessica's boyfriend Nick."
He shook her hand. "It's great to meet you Mrs. Turnblad."
"You too Nick."
"Where are the kids?"
"Napping in the playpen."
Everyone walked over to the playpen. Upon hearing Tracy's voice Linda and Adam opened their eyes.
"Can I hold Adam?" Jessica asked.
"Sure."
Tracy picked Adam up and handed him to Jessica.
"Can I hold Linda?" Nick asked.
"Of course."
Tracy picked Linda up and handed her to Nick.
"I can't wait to be a father," Nick cooed as he gently rocked Linda.
"I'm sure you'll do a great job," Tracy told him.
He chuckled as Linda grabbed his nose. "I really hope that I have a girl with her mother's eyes."
"I want one too," Jessica told him.
"Wouldn't you want a son with his father's eyes?" Amber asked.
Jessica shrugged. "That would be nice too but I really don't mind as long as the baby is healthy."
Nick and Jessica held the twins for a few minutes until Linda yawned. Nick gently placed her back in the playpen. Jessica did the same with Adam.
Jessica's eyes fell on Mathew. "Your son is adorable Penny."
"Thanks."
"Can I hold Margaret now?" Nick inquired. He liked holding Linda and wanted his arms occupied by another child.
Amber nodded. "All right, but I must warn you she hates being held by strangers."
She gently picked up Margaret and handed her to Nick. She immediately reached for him.
" Seems like she has taken a liking to you Nick," Amber said.
He smiled. "I'm rather fond of her too."
Jessica put Adam down before taking Margaret from Nick. He picked up Adam.
"You're so sweet," Jessica told Margaret.
"She takes after her father," Amber said.
Margaret reached for Jessica.
"Where is Link?" she asked.
"He had to work but he'll be home soon."
"I look forward to seeing him again."
"He is too," Tracy told her.
"Is there anything special that you'd like for dinner?"
"We brought dinner for both you and Link from the stage deli."
"You didn't need to do that."
"It's the least that we could do. After all it was your favorite restaurant in New York."
"True, it is."
"Nick, Jessica let me show you your room so that you can start unpacking."
"All right."
Tracy showed them to their room. Nick carried the suitcases and placed them on the bed.
"You and Jessica are in this room."
"Great thanks."
"You're welcome."
Jessica went to one suitcase and opened it. She took out a package and handed it to Tracy.
"Here's something from the both of us to show how thankful we are for inviting us here."
Tracy hugged them. "You are always welcome here."
Tracy opened the package and found a plaque that hung on the door. It said "Welcome" on it. The New York City skyline sat in the background.
"This is beautiful, thank you."
"You're welcome," Jessica told her.
Tracy placed the plaque on the door. Later that day Nick, Jessica and Tracy were watching TV. The door opened but wasn't heard by anyone. Link snuck up behind Tracy and20kissed her neck. She giggled.
"Hey Sexy."
"Hey Linky I'd like for you to meet Jessica's boy friend Nick. Nick this is my husband Link."
They shook hands. "It's great to meet you Link. I've heard so much about you."
"Nice to meet you too Nick."
"Did you see what Jessica and Nick brought us?" Tracy asked.
"The Welcome plaque on the door? Yes, its great but you two didn't need to give us anything."
"We know but we wanted to since we are staying at your house," Jessica said.
Link's stomach rumbled. "So what's for dinner?"
"Nick and Jessica brought sandwiches from the stage deli."
"Sounds delicious."
"I know."
They ate dinner together and after some conversation about the flight and the theater both couples went to bed. The twins were already asleep in their cribs.
The next morning Nick, Jessica, Tracy, Link, Penny and Amber all went to the zoo.
"What do you want to see first?" Tracy asked.
"How about the lions?" Jessica answered.
"All right."
They walked over to the lion area. A tiny cub that appeared to be only a moth or so old was sitting in the middle of some grass. He looked up at them and let out a small roar.
"How cute," Link said.
"He is, isn't he," Tracy added.
"Let's go see the bears next" Penny told them.
"All right," Nick agreed.
They went over to the bears. A bear cub was watching them. He looked to be as old as the lion cub. He gave them a tiny growl.
"How adorable," Tracy said.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Where to next?" Amber asked.
"The petting zoo," Tracy said.
They headed to the petting zoo, finding goats and chicks to pet.
"Where do we want to go next?" Link asked.
"The zebras," Penny answered.
Together they walked to where the zebras were kept. A baby came over to the edge of the area. He looked to be about two months old. He was so close that they were able to pat his head.
They went over to see the monkeys next. A one-month-old baby started swinging his arms around and talking. His mother came and took him into her arms. He quieted instantly.
"Looks like he missed his mother," Tracy said.
"Monkeys are supposedly very good parents," Link told her.
Jessica had tears in her eyes.
Nick looked at her worried that something was wrong. "Are you alright Jess?"
She nodded. "It's just so beautiful watching the mother and baby monkey interact."
Penny turned to him. "Don't worry Nick; it's just her hormones acting up."
"Are they always like this?" he asked as he handed Jessica a handkerchief.
"Sometimes they're worse," Link answered.
The Fourth of July came a few days later. And by this time Amber had arranged for a pregnancy plate for Jessica. Amber awoke early feeling both excited and nervous about the day ahead. She couldn't help but dance around the room and bathroom. She was still dancing when Tracy passed by an hour later.
Tracy smiled as she watched her friend. "Morning Am."
Amber stopped and smiled back. "Morning Tra."
"How are you feeling?"
"Nervous and excited."
Tracy nodded in understanding. "I felt the same way on my wedding day. Are you hungry?"
"Yes I am."
"Is their anything special that you'd like?"
"Yes your delicious orange pecan waffles, and sausage."
"Then that's what I'll make. I was planning to make them even if you hadn't asked for them."
"Great thanks."
Together they walked to the kitchen and Tracy began making breakfast.
"I get my food first right?"
"Absolutely."
Link stepped into the kitchen and went up behind Tracy. He kissed her neck and she giggled.
"Morning Sexy."
She turned around and French kissed him. "Morning Linky."
"What's for breakfast?"
"Orange pecan waffles, and sausage."
"Smells delicious."
Jessica came in and joined the three of them.
"Morning Jessica."
"Morning Tracy what's for breakfast?"
"My special orange pecan waffles, and sausage."
She licked her lips. "I was hoping that you'd make them for me one morning because I loved them last year."
"I know thank Amber because she was the one that requested them."
"You would have made them another morning right?"
"Absolutely."
Tracy made breakfast and they sat down to eat. Nick walked in and sat next to Jessica.
He gave her a French kiss then bent over and placed a hand on her stomach before kissing it. "Morning Jess."
"Morning Nicky."
"Morning little one how are you feeling?"
"It's doing great and says to tell you morning."
"What's for breakfast?"
"My special orange pecan waffles, and sausage," Tracy answered him.
"I was hoping that I'd get to try your waffles since Jessica was raving about them when she came home last year."
"Those were delicious Tracy," Nick said after they had all finished their meal.
"I'm glad you enjoyed them Nick."
"Will you give me the recipe for them?" Nick asked.
"Sure."
Link excused himself when they all heard Adam cry. Linda and Margaret were awake when he entered the room. He took them out of the crib and Margaret crawled out to her mom.
"Morning sweetie."
Amber kissed her cheek and put her back on the ground. She crawled to Nick .
He picked her up and she giggled and reached out for him. "Morning Margaret."
The phone rang and Tracy picked it up.
"Hello."
"Morning Tracy, can I speak to my jubilant bride?" Corny asked.
"Sure let me get her for you."
"Amber Corny is on the phone," she called.
"Coming," she sang.
She came out and picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Morning beautiful."
"Morning yourself handsome."
"How are you feeling?"
"Very excited about our wedding."
"So am I. How is Margaret doing?"
"She's fine."
"That's good I was wondering if you'd like to sneak off somewhere at the hotel and smooch for a while between the pictures, and the reception?"
"Oh Corny I'd love to."
He smiled over the phone. "Then we will."
Great I better get going."
"All right I love you angel."
"I love you too handsome."
The girls got dressed for the wedding. Tracy also dressed Marley in a doggy tux. She took him to the hotel and walked around the front waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Penny walked up to them. "Tra the wedding is about to start."
"I'm coming Pen."
Tracy followed Penny inside to where Amber was awaiting the beginning of the ceremony. The guests had all arrived and were seated. Beebe held Adam and Edna was holding onto Margaret. Motormouth Maybelle had Mathew in her lap and Jessica had Linda in hers. Corny looked almost regal in his tuxedo as he waited at the altar with his groomsmen besides him. As soft music began to play Tracy made her entrance first. Marley was besides her. The guests awed over how beautiful she looked and how cute Marley was in his outfit. Penny and the others soon followed. They had on gorgeous blue dresses that seemed to hug every curve just right. When they all were at the altar the ushers closed the doors again. The organist began to play "The Wedding March" and all eyes went to the door. They were opened to reveal Amber in a flowing white dress. Wilbur was besides her. He looked handsome in his own tuxedo. Corny's mouth dropped as pools of drool formed around the corners of his lips at the sight of Amber in her dress. He smiled and tried to hide the drool, waiting for her to take her place next to him. She smiled at him and took Wilbur's arm. They glided down the aisle and soon he was handing her to Corny.
"Who gives this woman to this man?" the priest asked.
"My wife and I do." He shook Corny's hand before sitting next to Edna.
"Are there any objections to these two being wed? Speak now or forever hold your peace."
The only sound heard was the sobs from Beebe and Edna. Beebe was so wrapped up in her sobbing she failed to notice Adam sliding down her leg.
She looked down for a handkerchief and saw him missing. She turned to Eric. "Eric have you seen Adam?"
"No I thought he was with you?"
People started giggling. Beebe looked around to see what they were giggling at when she saw Adam crawling towards Tracy. She stood up to get him but he had already reached Tracy. He tugged on the skirt of her dress. Beebe caught up to him and he began to cry as she grabbed him.
"Come sit with grandma. You can see mama later."
Tracy looked at Beebe then at Adam.
"Besides you'll have much more fun with grandma."
"Do you Corny Edward take Amber Julia to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
Corny smiled and squeezed her hand. "Who wouldn't?"
"And do you Amber Julia take Corny Edward to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
She smiled. "There's no other man I'd want."
Link took the rings off of Marley's collar and handed them to the priest. He did a quick blessing then handed Amber's to Corny. Corny placed it on her left ring finger, placing a sweet kiss on it once the ring was in place. Amber smiled and after being handed Corny's ring placed it on his left ring finger.
"With the power invested in me I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Corny gently took the veil off of Amber's face and they shared a French kiss. Amber unconsciously popped her foot back. The assistant manager set off fireworks while they were still kissing.
The newlyweds and their guests moved outside to where the reception was being held. Tracy took Adam from Beebe and Link took Linda. Penny and Amber also took their children so they could take pictures with them. Margaret hid her face in Amber's bodice. The others moved to the tent where tables and chairs had been laid out. Tracy, Link, Corny and Amber stood outside the tent with Marley by their side. Corny had lipstick all over his face and neck.
"Hey you love birds are you ready to be introduced?" Link asked.
"We'd rather have alone time in the honeymoon suite first," Amber answered.
"You'll have plenty of time for that latter. Besides your friends are waiting to celebrate with you," Tracy told them.
"She's right you know," Link said in agreement.
Corny looked at them then to Amber. She smiled. "Oh all right we're ready I guess."
"Not quite," Amber said laughing.
Corny raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"
"You have lipstick all over your face and neck," Amber told him.
"Can you clean me off after all you're responsible?"
She took a handkerchief from her purse and cleaned off the lipstick. "There, you look as handsome as ever."
He leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss.
She chuckled. "I think I'll need to keep this handy," she said motioning to the handkerchief.
Tracy and Link walked into the tent first. Amber and Corny followed after being introduced as husband and wife. They sat down with the rest of their wedding party at the head table. Next to it was a play pen which the kids had been placed in. Tracy attached Marley's leash to a chair near her and he lay down. She bent down and scratched his head and neck.
"You've had a busy morning haven't you buddy?"
Marley licked her hand. A waiter walked over to the table.
"Ah the bride and groom! Can I get you anything to drink?"
"I'll have a glass of wine," Amber answered.
"So will I," Corny added.
The waiter nodded and returned a minute later with their wine. Not long after another waiter brought salad and a piece of bread to everybody. Marley looked up at Tracy. She broke a piece off the bread and gave it to him.
"Here you go buddy."
He wagged his tail as he ate it. Upon finishing it he stared at Link and began whining.
Tracy looked at Link. "Linky I think Marley wants a bite of your bread."
"Give him one of yours cutie."
"I already have now he wants one of yours."
"Oh all right."
He took a piece and handed it to Tracy. She gave it to Marley.
Before they all began the main course Link stood up with a microphone.
Corny you have always been a mentor to me. I hope to have the same career success that you have had. Amber you have become a great friend over the years and I wish for you two to be as happy as I have been with Tracy."
Tracy stood and took the microphone from Link.
"Over the years I have seen your love blossom. I hope that you never forget to cherish one another. Congratulations!"
She hugged Amber then Corny.
As they ate Tracy would sneak small portions of her burger and fries off20her plate and give them to Marley. Even Link and Amber fed him parts of their dinners. Marley didn't complain. He happily ate whatever he was given. Tracy noticed that Marley was thirsty so she stood up and got him a cup of water. He quickly lapped it up and lay down for a nap. Adam soon became fussy. Tracy went over to the playpen and picked him up. She fed him then Linda. She handed Linda to Link so she could just hold Adam.
Jessica walked over to them. "Can Aunt Jessica hold Adam?"
"Sure."
She handed Adam to Jessica. Nick came over and stood by Link.
"Can Uncle Nick hold Linda?"
"Of course."
Link handed Linda to Nick. She immediately reached for him.
"You and Jessica are doing a great job with the kids," Tracy said as she watched them.
"I know Jessica and I were talking last night, and we were wondering if we could have a day to take care of one of the kids."
Jessica began to cry while holding Adam.
"What's wrong Jess?"
"One day I'll be holding our baby Nick."
He smiled. "Yes and she'll be beautiful just like her mother."
She wiped her tears and smiled. "Your so sure it's a girl."
"Yes I am."
"You two can have Margaret tomorrow."
"Thanks," Nick told her.
"You'll show us what to do right?" Jessica asked.
"Yes I will."
Corny rose from his chair. He took Amber's hand and led her to the dance floor for their first dance. Music began to play and they heard "It Takes Two". Amber gasped when she saw Link on stage singing it. Tracy and the twins were watching him. With the next song "Without Love," other singers sung it so Tracy and Link could dance along with Corny and Amber. Soon Seaweed, Penny, Nick, Jessica, Beebe and Eric joined them out on the dance floor. Tracy kissed Link and soon they were hot and heavy with the kisses it was like they were newlyweds themselves. The other couples were lost in their own little worlds making out as well. After a pause for air Link moved to Tracy's neck. She giggled.
"Cutie have you given them the key?"
"Not yet."
"Wanna sneak off to the honeymoon suite and have sex then?"
Tracy hit him. "Link Larkin the suite is for them not us."
"Come on I really want to have sex."
"We'll have it the day that Nick and Jessica leave."
"Please don't make me wait that long."
"All right I'll tell you what we'll stay up till Nick and Jessica go to bed tonight then we'll have sex."
"Oh boy."
They danced to a few more songs before it was time for cake. Corny and Amber each cut a piece. It appeared that they were going to feed each other but they smeared it all over the other's face instead. Corny gently kissed away the frosting from her face and she did the same for him. Amber sneezed after she cleared his face off.
"Are you all right doll?"
"No you got icing in my nose."
He retrieved a napkin for her and she blows her nose. He checked to make sure she got it all.
"Thanks Corny."
"Anytime babe."
The rest of the cake was cut up and distributed to the guests. When everyone finished Amber grabbed her bouquet and asked for all the unmarried girls to gather around. Jessica grabbed a spot close to where Amber stood. Amber turned around and tossed it. Jessica easily caught it. Nick walked up to her and kneeled down. He took one of her hands in his and took a ring out of his pocket.
"Jessica you are the most beautiful women that I have ever laid my eyes on. I really want to grow old with you so will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
She smiled. "Oh Nicky it's beautiful I'd love to marry you."
He swept her into his arms and twirled her. "Thank you. I'd like to do the wedding before our little one is born."
"So would I."
Jessica wiped away her tears as she grabbed Nick and French kissed him. Amber went up and hugged Jessica. Tracy also hugged them.
"Congrats Jessica."
"Thanks Tracy."
Tracy walked away and soon came back. She handed Amber a key.
"Here is the key to the honeymoon suite."
"Thanks Tracy."
"I hope you don't mind but I promised Nick, and Jessica that they can practice for their baby by taking care of Margaret tomorrow."
"That's fine but keep an eye on them."
"Will do."
Corny came up to them and kissed Amber.
"Are you ready doll?"
"Yes Corny."
Corny swept her off her feet.
"Corny what are you doing?"
"Carrying my new wife to our suite of course."
"Oh Corny."
She threw her arms around him and smothered him with kisses. When they almost reach the room Corny stopped.
"What's wrong Corny?"
"I forgot the key to the suite."
"Tracy gave it to me."
He smiled and continued to the room. He shifted his weight so he could take the key from Amber. The door easily opened and Corny continued on to the bedroom. With the greatest of care he threw her on the bed. He then got on it himself and positioned himself over her. He leaned down and kissed her. After a few minutes Amber broke the kiss and pushed him back.
He stared at her. "What's wrong gorgeous?"
"Go sit in the chair."
He looked at the chair then back at her. "All right."
He stood up and sat in the chair. Amber grabbed something out of her suitcase and went into the bathroom. She emerged a minute later wearing a very sexy pair of pink lingerie. Amber moved to Corny and gently sat on his lap so that her legs straddled his. She began moving seductively rubbing herself up and down his body in a teasing manner. She even made sure to move so that her breasts were in front of his face as if to say, "I know you want these". Corny moved his hands and placed them on her breast, squeezing them.
"Oh Mrs. Collins you're such a tease."
Amber smiled at him seductively. "I know."
She continued slowing moving her whole body giving him a lap dance. Needing to touch her lips Corny pulled her close and French kissed her. She quickly responded and put her hands in his hair to move his face closer to her. His hands held tightly to the back of her lingerie holding her near. They only parted for need of oxygen. Corny then carried her over to the bed.
"Shall we have our first sex as man and wife?"
"We shall indeed."
Amber helped Corny unbutton his shirt and discard of it. He glided her lingerie over her head. Once all of their clothes were in a heap on the floor Corny climbed atop of Amber, careful to balance his weight so that he didn't crush her. He kissed every inch of her face and neck while she giggled. He then moved to her ear, nibbling on it. This caused her to whimper. Next he licked it causing her to growl. He then placed kisses down her body pausing at her breast to nibble on them causing her to whimper once again. He also licked them causing her to moan happily before pinching them to make her gasp. Then he kissed them.
Amber moaned. "Oh Corny"
Amber then rolled over so that she was on top. She rubbed Corny's inner thigh, making him whimper. She moved to his neck placing kisses on it before sucking on his ear. He moaned at her lips on his ear. Next she ran her tongue over Corny's mouth he opened it. Next she began to nibble on his lower lip causing him to whimper. They continued their ministrations for a while.
"Let's look around the room," Corny said while they rested.
"All right I found a hot tub while getting ready in the bathroom earlier."
"We need to get in later."
"We will."
They got out of bed and explored the room.
"Look Amber a coupon for a free breakfast in bed for two."
"Let's use it tomorrow morning."
"All right."
That night Nick and Jessica were in lying next to each other in their room at Link and Tracy's house.
"I just love weddings," Jessica told Nick.
"So do I."
She fingered her engagement ring. "I can't wait till ours."
"Neither can I cutie."
He moved closer to her and French kissed her. Their hands instinctively wrapped around the others bodies as they continued making out. They parted for air after a few moments and Nick took the opportunity to kiss Jessica's neck. She giggled.
"Can we please have sex?" Nick asked.
"That would be rude to Tracy and Link since we are their houseguest."
He sighed. "Yeah you're right."
Corny and Amber checked out of the suite on July eighth. They wanted to spend time with Margaret. She was napping when they arrived at Tracy's house.
"Hey guys, how was the honeymoon suite?"
"It was incredible! How did Nick and Jessica do with Margaret?"
"They did great. I hope you don't mind but they each wanted their own day so I let them have it."
"You kept an eye on them right?"
"Yes I did."
"Where is Margaret?"
"Nick just put her down for a nap."
"I'll go wake her up."
Margaret started crying upon hearing her mother's voice.
"Mommy's coming sweetie."
She ran into the room and picked up Margaret. She reached for her.
Later that night they went to the prime rib restaurant with Nick and Jessica. Beebe was watching Margaret, Linda and Adam. Motormouth Maybelle wanted to spend some time with Mathew. Tracy decided to wear a provocative blue dress with complementary jewelry. Amber wore a pink dress and Penny had on a red dress. They both wore jewelry with Penny wearing a locket. Jessica wore a green dress with earrings and a necklace. They were shown to their table shortly after arriving. Link, Corny, Seaweed and Nick had also come.
"Nicky can you please not order wine because that will make me want some?"
"Absolutely doll face."
"Does that go for all of us?" Tracy asked.
"Do you mind?" Jessica said.
"Not at all," Tracy told her.
"I mind," Link added.
"Linky can we please not order any just this once."
"Oh all right, but we have some with dinner the day that they leave."
"That's fine."
A waiter came over to them.
"Evening folks what can I get you to drink?"
"I'll take a cherry coke light ice," Tracy answered.
Link nodded. "Make that two."
"I'll have a cherry coke," Amber said.
"So will I," Corny added.
"I'll have a coke," Seaweed told him.
"I'll have a cherry coke," Penny said.
"I'll have a sprite," Nick told him.
"And I'll have a coke," Jessica said.
The waiter nodded and walked away. He returned a minute later with their drinks and a basket of bread.
"Are you ready to order?" he asked.
They nodded.
"What can I get for you?"
"I'll have the blue cheese balsamic cheese prime rib with a stuffed potato," Tracy told him.
"That sounds good. Make that two," Link said.
"I'll have that as well," Amber added.
"So will I," Corny said.
"I'll have the blue cheese balsamic glaze filet with the potato skins."
"So will I. Penny said."
"I'll have the blue cheese balsamic glaze New York strip with an order of potato au gratin," Nick said.
"And I'll have the blue cheese balsamic glaze prime rib with a stuffed potato and a side of chocolate sauce."
"Chocolate sauce?" the waiter said.
"Yes chocolate sauce," she repeated more forcefully than she actually intended it to be. She blamed it on hormones.
"All right."
The waiter nodded and walked away. They each had a slice of bread.
"Nicky want to dance?" Jessica asked.
"Absolutely doll."
Nick too her hand and led her to the dance floor.
"Want to join them cutie?"
"Oh Linky I'd love to."
Tracy took Links hand as they joined them on the dance floor. Link wrapped his arms around her waist and hers circled around his shoulders as they begin to sway with the music. Link bent down and kissed Tracy's neck earning a giggle from her. When they parted he playfully squeezed her breast before kissing her lips. They began to really make out and soon Nick and Jessica followed suite. A couple minutes later they headed back to the table.
Tracy turned to Nick. "So Nick how do you like Baltimore so far?"
"I love it"
They talked for a few minutes longer until the waiter came with their food. He placed their plates in front of them.
"Can I get you anything else?" he inquired.
"Can I have another cherry coke?" Tracy asked.
"I'll take one too," Link said.
The waiter nodded and took their glasses. They soon began to eat and as they finished the waiter walked by noticing their empty plates.
"Did any of you save room for dessert?"
They nodded.
"What can I get for you?"
"I'll take a piece of chocolate moose pie," Tracy said.
"So will I," Link told him.
"I'll have that as well," Amber added.
"I'll have a piece of pecan pie," Corny said.
"Make that two," Seaweed told him.
8 0I'll have a hot fudge sundae," Penny said.
"I'll have a piece of Mudd pie," Nick said.
"And I'll have a hot fudge sundae," Jessica said.
The waiter nodded and walked away.
The morning of the tenth had arrived and it was time for Nick and Jessica to return to New York.
"Bye guys we'll miss you," Tracy and Link said.
"Bye we will miss you too," Nick and Jessica told them.
"Tracy will you come up and help me when my baby is born?"
"I'd love to Jessica."
Jessica had teary eyes as she hugged her.
"Can I come too?" Link asked.
He had always wanted to go to New York.
"Absolutely Linky."
