...

Two weeks later, Cosmo was already going into the stages of bridezilla as she was on the phone consistently with the orders for the wedding. She was getting flowers and invitations done where as Skylar made sure that everything was set for her small bachelorette party. Cosmo made it very clear to them that she wanted no male strippers and nothing too crazy. They wanted to have a great girls night out and then soon, Cosmo would be set to marry the wonderful man of her dreams.

"Damn it, how hard is it to get strawberry champagne?" She yelled at the man on the phone. At the same time, Seth was going to do the cake and the seating arrangements as he knew that Cosmo was stressed out to get everything together. He could never understand why women were so stressed with weddings but he knew his fiance and he knew if nothing was going right, all hell would break loose on everybody, especially for him.

So in order to have that "happy wife, happy life" feeling, he would help out in anyway.

In the midst of everything, he let his whole family know of the situation of Leila. She was on the news anyway but he wanted his parents to hear it from him before there was any confusion involved. However, when they found out he was engaged to Cosmo, they made it their mission to come down so they could meet the bride to be.

He was also working on another surprise as well. One that would make Cosmo's heart soar as he planned their honeymoon. It would be a honeymoon she would never forget as he remembered how much she's always wanted to take a trip to Thailand, but never got to experience as she was so poor at the time.

"I have always wanted to be at that place..." She explained to Seth as they went to the park with their dogs one day. "It was a class field trip in middle school but I didn't have the money for it..well my dad didn't, since my mom robbed us. All we had was enough to certain bills and rent to keep what little roof we had over our heads as we had stayed with my grandmother for the time being.

She explained to Seth why she liked Thailand so much. He would tease her at how the name sounded funny but she was passionate about that place. She smiled sadly though at how she believed she was never going to go.

Things were different and he couldn't wait to surprise her as he already purchased two first class tickets for them.

With the "Hounds of Power" fitness center being a complete success for all three men as they were now getting publicity for how the business was thriving, Seth was even working on opening up a second one in the making, except one would be for Crossfit and it would also have training for young athlete teenagers who wanted to get into their dream sports such as football, basketball or wrestling. With help from Dean and Roman, he would make that all possible as he wanted to have a stable future for him and his fiance'.

He just hoped his surprise after they were married would help Cosmo relieve some stress with the wedding planning.

...

The girls were at David's Bridal. It was Skylar, Karissa, Cosmo, AJ Lee, Renee Young, and Naomi as they tried on their dresses. Cosmo downing more champagne at how she felt as though none of the dresses were "perfect". It was her own insecurities and emotions talking but with everything going on, and even sad at the fact that her father wouldn't show up, she couldn't focus clearly.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Skylar went up to Cosmo as she stepped down from the stool as they went into a booth.

"Something is wrong, I can tell." She rubbed the arm of her best friend, her sister.

Cosmo wasn't the greatest at hiding her emotions. She hated that her and Seth could see right through her so easily.

"It's my dad.." She sighs. "He disapproves of me and Seth getting married and even suggested I should go with Dolph. If he knew what that jackass was like now he would have never said that.

Skylar nodded, knowing exactly how she felt. As soon as Cosmo told her what Dolph said about her, Skylar wanted to key his car and cut off his dick, but she was talked out of it. At least for the moment.

Cosmo sat down on the bench, feeling as though she was starting to get second thoughts on marrying Seth, even though she didn't want to. Was it her fears taking over her mind again?

"Listen to me.." She put her arm around her shoulder. "I know you love your dad and you want to make him happy, but you can't worry about everyone's' happiness. Only you can decide what you want. It doesn't matter how he feels or how I feel or what anyone else feels for that matter. You need to do what's best for you, and if marrying Seth makes you happy, then you strut your cute ass down that aisle and you marry that man."

"But I'm afraid.." She confessed. "Marriage is not an easy thing. I've never experienced it before.."

"I'm still learning about it myself!" Skylar said excitedly.

"Me too." Naomi popped up, slightly ease-dropping but she knew it was with good intentions. "Trust me; Me and Jimmy go at it sometimes with his jealousy and it can be a strain."

"Roman often controls me sometimes and we have our fights about that, and stress comes in so that fight goes within that." Skylar added.

Cosmo started to worry. Would it be that way with her and Seth if they were to get married? What if things change and they were not ready for the change that was about to happen? How could they handle it? Even with Leila out the picture, they would face even more obstacles to come.

"How do you guys handle it?" She looked at both of them, asking for advice for the first time in years, knowing that things were going to get very serious between them.

Skylar and Naomi sat next to her, knowing that she needed guidance more than ever.

"You trust in your partner and you have to really think about why you got married in the first place. Many people do it for the wrong reasons. But we know our reasons as to why we got married. So what are your reasons?" Naomi asked.

"Because I really love him." She admitted, looking at the both of them. "He makes me feel as though I can overcome anything. He's there for me throughout everything. Whenever I'm close to him, I can't stop my heart from beating so fast."

"And you always remember that. Also, you and Seth will get into fights into marriage and may often feel as though you are at the end of your rope. That's inevitable. But you never give up. People give up so easily in marriage but you have to fight no matter what. Marriage is more than just dating. That's your lifeline and what you feel. And when you have children one day, you know for a fact he's the one for you. You don't want anyone else but him. You have to know what's in your heart."

"Despite the fact that me and Drew never worked out for several reasons and even though I cheated on him, which was wrong." Skylar continued. "I knew that Roman and I were meant to be together and the minute we stopped playing around and stopped acting so childish, we wanted to make that happen, despite all the circumstances. And even if me and Drew did work out, he wasn't the one for me to marry. My heart was telling me that and what I'm just saying is that don't let your dad discourage you from making your own choices. It's your own life, Ms. Glam Bam. So take charge of it, damn it."

Cosmo smiled as she hugged Skylar tightly, thankful that she was there for her in the time of need as was Naomi.

"Now let's get back out there and let's get the star ready!" She pulled her friend up.

"Are we going for ice cream, mommy?" She heard Karissa calling out for her. "This store has no ice cream! This is not a world I want to live in!"

All of them laughed as they headed back out the booth.

"Your daughter is so melodramatic, just like her mommy." Cosmo teased.

"Oh shut up." Skylar stuck her tongue out as it was time for them to try on the bridesmaid dresses.

...

Kenzi made it over to her aunts' house in Tampa, Florida, where she knew her sister Skylar and Roman and all their friends would be. But most importantly, where Dean Ambrose would be located.

Mackenzie was fast asleep after throwing a tantrum and her aunt helped her to take a nap. Kenzi took a hot shower as she relaxed herself, knowing that Cosmo's wedding would be in a few weeks up into next month. She went outside to go smoke another cigarette as her aunt shook her head.

"Honey, those cancer sticks are going to do some serious damage on you." She warned her.

Kenzi didn't give a damn and just kept right on puffing. "There's stuff inside of me I need to kill anyway.."

She was seriously in a lot of pain, but that quickly turned into rage when she thought of that smug faced bastard, Dean Ambrose. She would be very happy to see Skylar as its been so long since the sisters have seen each other, and she only met Cosmo one time but she knew she was cool right off the bat.

"Why are you so angry right now?" Her aunt was confused by her niece's actions and change of attitude, never understanding her.

"Trust me. I have a right to be angry." She crushed the cigarette under her shoe as she went back inside, hoping that she could find something to eat or some TV to watch to calm herself.

It was easier said than done as there was a hole in her heart to which she was betrayed; double crossed. She felt the worst pain more than she had ever experience in her life, growing up.

It would only be a matter of time before Dean Ambrose would learn the hard way not to mess with Kenzi, as many others had learned the hard way themselves.

FEW WEEKS LATER

Tomorrow was the day and it was set for Cosmo and Seth as they would be getting married at the Azalea Meadow Brook Garden. It was hell for both of them as it was a lot of switch-ups, errors and just about almost everything seemed to be going wrong as they were planning and planning.

But through and through, they had successfully did it and now the countdown would start for them as they were set for tomorrow.

Cosmo was indeed excited and thrilled as they all had drinks over at Nikki's house as she was living with John Cena. Ohn It was from margaritas to shot glasses as they were all crazy with the alcohol.

They all bought Cosmo's gifts of lingerie and sex toys, to which she knew that she would definitely use on that man of hers.

Cosmo limited herself to only three drinks at least because she didn't want the alcohol to consume and control her. Skylar also kept an eye on her too but she also drank.

The guys were having a guys night out themselves but with a simple barbecue and watching the sports channel and drinking beer.

All the women were indeed drunk out of their minds as Nikki and Brie were dancing on the kitchen island as the music played while Cosmo and Skylar were making new drinks as well. Naomi and Cameron were playing some games as well.

Pretty soon, after the three hours was over and done they all headed up to bed, where as Skylar called Roman as she missed him so much. The girls night was a lot of fun and from the sound of the guys in the background, she knew their night wasn't over yet.

"Hello babygirl.." She moaned to herself hearing that voice of his. Man, he didn't realize what that voice did to her and others.

"Hey there handsome." She smiled as she changed for bed, feeling a bit of the hangover coming in.

"Are you drunk?" He heard the slurs in her voice.

"I just feel soo good." She giggled rolling on the king size bed in her guest room.

"Oh really?" He chuckled. "Are you in your room alone, baby?"

"Of course I am, you dumb dumb." She smiled, hiccuping from her blueberry daiquiri that she was still sipping on.

"Strip for me baby. Do it on the video. I'm alone in my room as well." Roman growled with lust. "I want to see that perfect body of yours

She giggled as she set up the Skype video on her phone as Roman saw her through the webcam. He was shirtless and had on his sweats, his hair pulled back. She started to peel off her red crop top, revealing a sexy black bra. She suddenly did a slow sexy twirl, letting her red hair fall past her shoulders. She pulled down her black skirt as she started seductively shaking her ass, sporting that black thong and her lower back tattoo of roses.

"Damn baby.." Roman licked his lips, just wanting her. Him and Skylar had gotten a quickie in before they had to part ways.

"If you like that, wait until you see this.." She giggled as she began to take off her bra slowly as it was close to revealing her nipples until she stuck her tongue out, shutting off the camera. She got Roman on the phone though as she laughed evilly.

"Wh-What was that about?" He was confused, annoyed and slightly whined.

"Oh I wanted to tease you. I know you requested me to do it baby but I decided to break the rules a little, just to make sure you will be missing me."

"Until tomorrow, gorgeous. But you're going to pay for that. My dick got hard as hell. What am I suppose to do about that?"

"Well just think about what I've given you a sample of, my Samoan king." She hung up the phone before he could continue, laughing to herself for teasing this man. She was going to pay for it big time but for now, she was having her fun and didn't want to worry about nothing except being with her family tomorrow.
