"Pregnant!" Phil said the next day when he and Charlie came over for dinner. Jaycee nodded. She was a little nervous as to how he was going to react. He smiled and hugged her before he walked over and extended his hand to John. "Congratulations to you both."
"So, you're okay with this?" Jaycee asked.
"Are you kidding? I'm going to be an uncle. I'm happy for you as long as this is something you want."
"It is."
"Then, I'm happy." He said before looking at John. "You better take care of my sister and my niece or nephew."
"Always. But the same goes with Charlie when the time comes." John said. Phil nodded.
"Always." Phil replied. "So, when are you getting married? I mean you are getting married right?"
Jaycee looked at John. "Well, we haven't really talked about that. We have been focused on the news about the baby and telling our parents."
"Why don't we get married?" John said. Jaycee looked at him. "We could get Mike and Natalie. Phil could give you away. We can drive up and tell our parents this weekend."
"You want to get married now?" She asked.
"Well, not right now because the court house is closed. But yeah, let's do it."
She thought for a minute. "I love it. Let's get married."
He smiled and kissed her. He looked at Charlie and Phil. "Are you guys up for a wedding tomorrow?"
"You better at least call Gram and Gramps. They will never forgive you if you don't." Charlie said.
John smiled. "You're right. I'll call them now." He kissed Jaycee and got up. He took out his cell phone and walked to the bedroom to call.
"So, we need to find you a dress and you guys need rings." Charlie said as they sat there.
"I was thinking of wearing a simple white dress. Nothing fancy. I saw the perfect dress the other day in Macy's."
"Great. We can go there tomorrow morning while John and Phil pick up the rings. And then we can go to the court house. It's perfect." She said as John walked back in the room. "Well?"
"Gram and Gramps will be there tomorrow at two for the wedding. They promised not to call mom and dad. And they are very excited about the baby."
"I knew they would be. Now call Mike and Nat and order pizza." Charlie said. John nodded and called Mike and Natalie.
Phil looked at his sister. "Are you really ready for this?"
"I don't know honestly. I know what comes I can handle. Was I expecting this right now? No but I'm happy and excited and scared."
"You are going to be a great mom."
"Thanks." She smiled. "Well, tomorrow I will be a married woman. What about you? You ready to be a married man?" Phil smiled.
"I love her. And I want to spend the rest of my life with her when the time is right."
"When the time is right?" She asked
"Yes, when we graduate. Right now, this is about you and John and your wedding."
"Alright." She smiled as Charlie came back in the living room.
"So I wanted to ask you what color dress I should wear." Charlie said.
"Wear your prom dress. It'll save money."
"Alright. If it's okay with you."
"Yeah definitely. I can't believe I'm getting married and having a baby." Jaycee smiled.
"I know but it's exciting."
She nodded as John came back into the room. "Pizza is on its way and Mike and Natalie are too. And Randy and Lexie because they were visiting Mike and Natalie."
"Well it looks like the group will all be here." Charlie smiled.
"It'll be good to see everyone." Jaycee said.
"Yeah it will." Charlie smiled. "So, have you guys thought about a reception?"
"I was thinking maybe we all just go have dinner at a restaurant. I don't want anything big."
"I'm good with whatever Jaycee wants." John added.
"Alright. So dinner at a restaurant after." Charlie said as she wrote down some things.
Jaycee looked at Charlie and wondered if her sister in law was a little envious that all of these things were happening for her and John. "Charlie, let's go in the kitchen and get some plates and things for the pizza."
"Alright." Charlie said following her in the kitchen. "Something on your mind?"
"I was going to ask if something was on your mind. Are you mad that you got engaged first but I'm getting married first? I would hate for you to be."
"No! I can't believe you'd even think that. I'm happy for you and John. We're going to be sisters now." Charlie said.
"But?"
"But I'm a little envious. I mean, I know Phil and I waiting to be married until after we graduate is a good thing. But a part of me wants to be married now."
"Have you talked to Phil about this? He might be agreeable to get married now if you want."
"We have talked. He'd trying to get his career going and I've got school. I guess I'm just afraid. What if he gets his career going and he decides he doesn't want me anymore?"
"That would never happen." Jaycee smiled. "My brother is so in love with you and has been for years. You know that."
"Yeah but that doesn't mean it can't happen."
"No matter how big his band gets, if it does, he will always love you and want you. No question."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? The only reason he ever asked me to go anywhere was because he wanted you there. He needs you Charlie. You're his inspiration."
"You knew that was why he asked you?"
"Of course." Jaycee laughed. "He loves you and I know he will not love anyone else."
Charlie smiled as the doorbell rang. "That's probably the pizza or Mike and Natalie."
"I hope pizza because I'm starving and craving sausage and pepperoni."
Charlie smiled. "Go on in there. I'll be in in a second." Jaycee nodded. She looked over at Phil as she entered the room.
"You need to do something extra romantic for Charlie." She said quietly.
He looked as his sister headed out and he walked in. "You're missing all the fun."
"I just needed some time." She smiled.
"Well, that's good." He smiled. "You know, with everything going on, I think we need some time alone. So, I was thinking after Jaycee is married, we can go on a little trip. There is a nice bed and breakfast someone told me about. Are you interested?"
"We can't afford it."
"Yeah we can. I've been saving a little money away for a special occasion. So how about it? Just you and me in a nice secluded place. No interruptions."
"Alright." She smiled. "It would be nice to get away."
"Good. So after the wedding tomorrow, we will head out."
"Can't wait." She said kissing him. "Now we better get out there and get some pizza before the pregnant girls eat it."
"They keep multiplying. Lexie's knocked up too."
"I'm the only one not knocked up?" She laughed. "I never thought that would be the case. But I never thought Jaycee would be pregnant before marriage and in her first year of college."
"Things happen." Phil replied. "But we support them all."
"Yeah we do." She smiled. "Well, I'm hungry."
He took her hand and they headed to the living room. Charlie smiled when she saw the scene. Randy and Lexie were there and everyone was enjoying the pizza. She sat down with Phil and they grabbed some too. It was hard to believe so much had change in a short time. She was engaged. Jaycee was too and having a baby. Natalie was married and a baby on the way and Lexie was too.
Their life had changed and it was a welcome change. Now they could start the next phase of their lives.
