A few days past since the night Ted and Carly eloped, and the newlyweds couldn't have been any happier. When they walked inside their house from the road trip on that Tuesday morning, Ted glanced at his new bride and couldn't help but chuckle as he heard Carly sigh.
"What?" she asked.
"Oh nothing. I just heard you sigh when we walked in the door, and just thought you looked cute," Ted said with a smile on his face.
"Aw," Carly replied as she quickly kissed Ted. "You always look cute!"
Ted couldn't help but chuckle again as they both walked into the bedroom and threw their suitcases on the floor. "I don't think I have ever been so tired in my life!" Carly exclaimed as she plopped down on the bed.
"Well...we really didn't sleep a whole lot," Ted replied as he gave his new bride a wink.
"Haha," she replied as she got comfortable under the covers. Her smile grew bigger as Ted carefully climbed on top of her and kissed her forehead. "Can you believe it? We are actually married!"
"I know. Depressing isn't it?" Ted asked sarcastically.
"Hey!!!"
"I am just kidding baby," Ted chuckled. "So...are you nervous for tonight?"
Carly scrunched her face at the thought of their get together later on in the evening. Ted and Carly invited over their parents and siblings to break the news: the name they picked out for the baby, the baby is Ted's and they eloped in Las Vegas.
"I am...but then again I'm not. I think once everyone understands that we are still using the December 31 date, maybe they won't be so upset."
"Do you think they will be upset?"
Carly shrugged. "I don't think so cause they were happy for us when we got engaged. But then again, they might be upset because it was just friends that were with us."
"I'm sure everything will be ok," Ted said as he kissed Carly. "There isn't anything to worry about."
During the next few hours, Ted and Carly got caught up on some laundry, picked up the house and got the grill ready for the hamburgers and hotdogs. Finally, as Ted was getting the meat out of the refridgerator and Carly was touching up her make up, the door bell rang.
"Carly...the first of our guests are here!" Ted called.
When Carly walked out of the bathroom, she saw Ted talking with her mom, step-dad, Reid, Ashley and Ashley's boyfriend Chris. "Hey everyone!"
"Hey sis!" Ashley exclaimed as the two sisters hugged. "How's my nephew?" she asked, rubbing Carly's belly.
"He's doing great, and getting bigger by the second!"
Within the hour, the rest of Ted and Carly's guests arrived. Carly was inside with most of the other women getting some food and drinks ready, and both Jill and Christy pulled her aside.
"So...I'm guessing Ted took the news well?" Jill asked anxiously.
"Of course he did! I've never seen that man so ecstatic!"
"So, what's the occasion of the get together?" Christy asked.
"Well...not everyone knows yet that Ted is the father, and we have a few other announcements to make!" Carly said with a smile.
While Ted and his brothers were working the grill, Ted Sr. also pulled his son aside away from everyone. "Son, is everything ok?"
Ted shrugged. "Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?"
"Well, I thought you guys were supposed to get the test results back like a few days ago, and neither your mom or I have heard anything from you. So...that is why I began to think something was up."
"Nope," Ted replied, shrugging once again. "Carly and I do have a few announcements to make, and just to let you know, that is one of them."
Ted Sr. only nodded as Ted walked back to the grill. Within a half hour, the food was ready and everyone soon sat down on the deck to eat. While everyone was eating and making conversation with one another, Ted glanced at Carly, and she winked at him. He knew it was time.
Ted then sat down his food on the patio table, and after he poured himself another glass of iced tea, and tried to get everyone's attention. "Ok guys, I know all of you are thinking there is a reason why Carly and I asked you to all come tonight for a barbecue...and your right. We do have something we want to announce."
"Yes, we have a few announcements to make," Carly said as she got up from her chair to stand by Ted. "First of all...we did get our paternity test results a few days ago."
"What did they say?" Ric asked anxiously.
"Well, the paper stated that without a doubt, the baby is 100% mine!" Ted exclaimed.
"Oh that's terrific!" Ted's mom, Jan said as she got up and hugged both Ted and Carly. "Yes that is very good news!" Marlene exclaimed as she also hugged Ted and Carly.
"Our next announcement is that we've decided on a name for our son. His name will be Alexander Theodore Dibiase," Carly said proudly. "My sister's name was Ally...so we thought it would be a good tribute to her."
"I love that name-it's so cute!" Ashley exclaimed. "And, I think Ally would like it too."
"I agree," Jeff said. "Very good choice."
"Now...Carly and I have one more announcement," Ted said hesitantly. "As you guys know, Raw was in Las Vegas and Reno this past weekend. Well, Carly flew to Vegas to give me the test results, and..."
"Let me guess, you guys eloped," Ted Sr. interrupted.
"Umm...yeah we did," Ted said as he dug into his jeans pocket and put his wedding band back on, and watched as Carly did the same.
"Now, before you guys say anything, Ted and I are still going through with December 31. It will kind of be our renewing the vows thing, and everything will still take place as normal. It's just we will already be married."
Ted and Carly exchanged nervous glances at one another as no one said anything. Carly got even more nervous as Ric got up from his seat to face Carly.
"Well, I guess all we, at least myself, can say is welcome to the family Ted!" Ric exclaimed as he shook Ted's hand. Carly then wrapped her arms around her father for a big bear hug. "Congratulations," Ric whispered.
"Thank you. Thank you for everything."
Everyone then followed suit, and congratulated the newlyweds. Ted Sr. also gave his new daughter-in-law a big bear hug. "I know that you've been apart of this family for like the last 10 years or so, but I want to officially welcome you to the family."
"Aw, thanks!"
Later on that night, after their last guest had left, Ted and Carly were cuddled close in bed, to tired to do anything. "See, I told you we didn't have anything to worry about," Ted said as he began to play with Carly's hair. "It all worked out."
Carly couldn't help but smirk as she cuddled closer to Ted. "Is it really possible? We are actually married, and no one is upset? Everyone is happy with it?"
"Yep, no one is mad at us. It all worked out just like I told you it would," Ted said confidently.
