Chapter 13: Carrie's Bright Idea
Kim and Tommy's House, Reefside
August 19, 2001
6 pm
Kim was cleaning up the kitchen after supper while Tommy and the twins were in the woods walking around looking for fossils when Carrie let herself in with the key Kim and Tommy gave her and Rocky for safe keeping. She was still in her police uniform, so she just got off from work.
"Carrie, you scared me. The key is for emergencies, remember?" Kim reminded her.
"Well, you weren't answering your door, so I let myself in," Carrie said sitting down in the chair.
"I'll let it slide this time, but remember it for next time, okay?" Kim said.
"Fine, whatever. Anyways, I'm here to talk about something important, very important," Carrie said.
"What? You're not pregnant, are you?" Kim asked.
"Oh no! We're waiting until our wedding night to have sex, so if something happens our kid won't be out of wedlock," Carrie said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you told me about that, sorry," Kim said.
"Apology accepted. But that's not what I wanted to talk about."
"Then what, then?"
"About yours and Tommy's wedding, and mine and Rocky's. After you told me you wanted to move the wedding up instead of having it two weeks before mine, I got to thinking, what if we had a double wedding on the same day. We could have it at the church me and Rocky decided on so you wouldn't have to pay for a place to hold your wedding at, saving you money that you could put away for the twins college fund, plus we could hold the reception at the youth center, saving you even more money. How does that sound?"
"You know, that's not a bad idea, Carrie. I have to run it by Tommy first, but he'll probably be okay with it."
"Cool beans! When you get the okay from hot stuff let me know so I can make the arrangements. June 6th of next year sound good?"
"It sounds great! Thanks, Carrie, for the idea!" Kim said as they said goodbye and Carrie left.
Just then Tommy and the twins came back from the woods with a few bags of stuff from the woods.
"Hey guys, how was your walk?" Kim asked Tommy and the twins.
"Really good! We found some neat stuff!" JT said holding up his bag.
"Yeah, I saw caterpillars on the trees!" Amelia added.
Once the twins ran off to their bedrooms Kim pulled Tommy aside.
"Tommy, we need to talk about the wedding," Kim said.
"What? Did you hit a snag with the planning?" Tommy asked.
"No, Carrie was just over, and she had one of her bright ideas again."
"Oh no! Not another one! What did she come up with now?"
"She brought up the idea of a double wedding. At the church she and Rocky chose and the reception at the youth center afterwards."
"You know, that doesn't sound bad. Instead of two weddings on two separate dates everyone would only have to attend one, saving us a lot of money that we could put aside for the twin's college fund."
"That's what Carrie said! But I thought you would say no."
"No, because I told you it was your decision to make and not mine."
"Thanks, handsome, you're the best! I'll call Carrie now!" Kim said as she went to the living room to call Carrie.
