A/N: Next chapter is the rehearsal and then the Wedding! Thanks to everyone who has been reading.

Trixie was pulled through the salon doors by a very enthusiastic Johnny. She saw Di and Honey sitting in the chairs by the desk and tried to smile.

"Hey ladies I heard we're getting girly things done today."

Honey laughed, "No need to sound so enthusiastic Trixie, I promise this isn't torture."

Di smiled, "Besides Trix rumor has it you sent the night at a certain red headed gentleman's house last night. Has Mr. Honorable been doing some not so honorable things to you? I promise Jim won't be able to keep his hands off you when we're done with you."

Trixie blushed, "Jim and I aren't doing what you think we're doing, and this is your brother Honey. You should not be talking about his male bits."

Di giggled, "Male bits, really Trixie. Besides I am not Jim's sister and would be very interested in discussing this with you."

Honey smirked, "I have no desire to hear about my brother's maleness, but I am very willing to help bring you out of your sexual shell Trix."

Trixie felt herself blush, "I am not talking about this with you all, let's just get our hair cut."

Honey and Di giggled again as they followed Trixie into the back where they were all seated together. Trixie tried to relax as she had her hair cut and her nails painted. It almost worked until Honey and Di suggested the next activity.

"You want me to what?"

Di smiled, "Calm down Trixie we just asked if you wanted to get waxed."

Honey nodded, "You don't have to get everything off you could just tidy things up down there."

Di nodded in agreement, "I usually go for a landing strip Mart goes nuts for it."

Honey smiled, "I usually just get my bikini line tidied up and the hair trimmed, Bri loves to bury his face in my curls."

"Oh my god! Both of you stop those are my brothers you're talking about. Where is the brain bleach?"

Trixie took a deep breath, "Without mentioning my brothers please explain to me how this works."

Di clapped, "Yay, you're going to do it! Well we'll get out eyebrows done as well, so I'll explain that to you. It's basically the same thing. They put wax wherever you don't want hair, then the wax rips the hair out."

Trixie groaned, "Okay, but I'm not going to be bald down there am I? That really freaks me out."

Honey shook her head, "No Trix you tell them where you want the hair removed."

Trixie nodded and followed a woman back to a waxing room. Twenty minutes later she walked out of the waxing room pretty sure she was never doing this again. If women did this just to look good for their men, how did they stand to be touched afterwards? Trixie looked longingly at the pitchers of ice water. She wondered if anyone would notice if she poured ice down her pants.

Honey and Di were waiting for her apparently unfazed by their waxing's, Trixie glared at them and they giggled.

Honey threw her arm around Trixie's shoulders, "Don't worry Trixie the first time is the worst and it won't hurt for long."

Trixie followed her friends out of the salon where she found herself face to face with a very smug looking Evans, "You knew didn't you Johnny?"

He just laughed and guided Trixie towards the car, "Let's go Belden we've got to get ready for the rehearsal dinner."


After a morning of pointed comments from his mother and jokes from his father Jim found himself with the other male bobwhites as they got dressed for the rehearsal dinner. Brian, Mart, and Dan would all spend the night at his house, while the girls were at Di's parent's house.

He tucked his shirt in and took in the sight around him while he tied his tie. Brian always calm reliable Brian was fixing Mart's tie and murmuring calming words to his younger brother. It didn't surprise Jim that he and Brian had formed such a close friendship as children. They were both the responsible one the caretakers. Jim noted with a chuckle that Dan was teasing Mart, and any good Brian managed to do seemed to be undone by Dan's words.

Jim caught Dan's eye and the younger man hurried over to him a devious gleam in his eyes. "Hello Mr. Honorable, doesn't our blushing groom look dashing?"

Jim snorted, "I think it's the bride who is supposed to be blushing Dan."

"Ah, but Mart is gifted with those Johnson genes, so a blushing groom he shall be. Speaking of blushing, Trixie didn't come home last night."

Jim glared at Dan, "And you felt you had to tell me that why?"

Dan snorted, "I know she was with you Jim. Are our esteemed co-presidents getting a bit closer than is appropriate for brothers and sisters?"

"Honestly Dan, if you're getting into that then Di and Mart and Honey and Brian should probably be your bigger concern."

Dan shuddered, "You're right clearly you all hadn't hit puberty when you decided the Bobwhites would be like siblings, but you know what I mean."

Jim shook his head, "No Dan we fell asleep on the couch, fully clothed."

"Why? Trixie needs to get laid; you need to get laid, what is the problem here? Lindsey and I were discussing you two last night…"

"Wait you were discussing us while you were?"

Dan shook his head, "No if you're doing it right nobody is thinking of anything else during; we discussed you after. Do we need to have a little chat Jim?"

Jim shuddered, "No good god no. And I do not want thoughts of me and Trixie anywhere near your sex life Dan."

Dan chuckled, "Okay, but seriously what is going on with you and Trixie?"

Jim shrugged, "We're taking it slow. We're both being a bit cautious; we don't want to screw this up again."

"Jim, don't hide from this. I know this relationship stuff can be hard, but the best thing I ever did was take a risk on Lindsey. Don't let 'we're being cautious' hold you two back you need to talk to Trixie."

Jim nodded, "I'll think about it Dan."


Trixie was feeling odd, she hadn't felt this way in quite some time. She looked at herself in the mirror and liked what she saw. Her curls were tamed and pulled back, whatever madness Johnny had put on her face had emphasized her features, and she felt pretty in the swishy blue dress she wore. If Trixie was being honest with herself she felt sexy, and sexy was something Trixie wasn't sure how to deal with.

She couldn't be around Jim lately without feeling a stirring in her belly. She didn't want to rush into anything, but she also knew that ignoring her feelings wasn't going to make them go away. Trixie had brought up these feelings with her therapist and she had encouraged Trixie to explore her sexuality. Trixie had been trying to do just that, but found her thoughts focusing in on a certain red head.

They would be separated tonight as they both had obligations for the wedding, but tomorrow night Jim would be all hers. She didn't know how far she was willing to go, but Trixie thought maybe they could round a couple bases together.

Trixie shivered in anticipation, and was brought out of her reverie by Johnny calling her. It was time to go to the rehearsal. Trixie squared her shoulders Jim wasn't going to know what hit him when he saw her tonight.
