Chapter 44

Stan's POV

I'm at Men's Warehouse with my dad getting fitted for my tux. Susan and I are getting married next month. We decided to have a small wedding in my parent's backyard. "That one's fine." Dad tells me as I step out of the fitting room.

"You think?" I look at it. "It feels like something's missing."

Dad smacks his forehead. "Come on Stan, it's just a tuxedo!" I can tell dad is getting bored and antsy.

"I just want everything to be perfect..." I notice my palms are starting to sweat.

"You're nervous, aren't you?" I guess he noticed my sweaty palms.

I nod. "I just don't want this marriage to end up like the last one."

"It won't."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because Susan is awesome and Wendy is a cunt."

"Dad!" I can't believe he went there.

"Well she is! I knew Wendy was wrong for you before you married her."

"So why didn't you say something?"

"Would you have listened to me?"

I shrug my shoulders. "Probably not."

"Exactly! You had to figure it out for yourself."

"Yeah that's true." I grab a napkin and wipe my hands.

"You have nothing to be nervous about relax. The wedding day isn't even here yet."

"I know. I just want everything to be perfect."

"It will be fine, just relax."

"Julia still hasn't responded." I look down.

"So?"

"It would be nice to have my daughter there."

"If she doesn't come then screw it."

"That's your granddaughter."

"I know and I love her more than anything. But if she doesn't come that's on her. You invited her so you did your part."

"That's true." I look down and sigh.

Dad puts his arm around me. "Cheer up son! You're getting married! Don't worry about the small stuff."

"I'm trying dad…"

"Fuck it, let's pay for this tux and go grab a drink! You need one!"

I nod. For once I actually agree with him on that. "Let's go!" I head back into the fitting to change into my regular clothes and we head out.

Wendy's POV

"I'm glad everything worked out!" I tell Bebe and Nichole as we toast. "Julia hasn't spoken to Stan since the hearing. She refuses to go to his little wedding."

"Stan's getting married?" Nichole asks confused. "To that weird blonde girl?"

"Yeah her." I roll my eyes.

"I don't know what Stan sees in her." Bebe tells me. "She's not even cute."

"Yeah, she's a basic bitch!" Nichole adds in. Then she thinks for a minute. "Actually that would make her perfect for Stan."

"Even Stan could do better. I mean, hello, he was with Wendy!"

"He's probably only marrying her because he stupid ass is willing to take care of his little bastard kid!" I laugh. "What a clueless bitch!"

"So pathetic!"

"Yeah, some women will do anything to keep a man!" Nichole adds in. "There's no way in hell I would raise someone else's child."

"Well…" I begin. "I mean I'm helping raise Shannon."

"But she's only there part time and you have your own kids." Bebe reminds me.

"That's true and Cartman is helping with Julia."

"I know you said Julia hasn't spoken to Stan, but does she even talk about Stan?" Nichole asks sounding a little concerned. "I mean he's still her father."

I shake my head. "Not really. She's very angry with him because of hearing."

"The one we set up!" Bebe smirks.

"SHH!"

Nichole raises her eyebrow. "You guys set that up? How?" She looks back and forth at us.

I frown at Bebe, then I look at Nichole. "Cartman and I wanted to make Stan look bad in front of Julia. She went to Kyle and said she wanted to sue us for Dustin's death. Then she was going to call the whole thing off."

"Kyle was sooooo pissed off!" Bebe laughs.

"Wait…Kyle didn't know it was a set up?" Nichole asks.

"Duh! You know your husband would never go for that!"

"That's messed up!" She stands up. "He's going to go off when he finds out."

I grab her arm. "So you're going to tell him?"

"He's my husband, I can't leave him in the dark!"

"You would do that to your friends?"

"He's my husband!" She repeats. "We don't keep secrets."

"Come on Nicky! I told you about Kobe and Julia! You owe me some secrecy!"

She closes her eyes and sighs. "Fine, I won't say anything, but you guys better tell him! I'm giving you a week or else I will tell him."

Bebe and I exchange looks. "That's fine." We continue drinking and catching up.

Susan's POV

"Thank you so much. I'll you know something soon!" I hang up. I just got a great offer from my boss, but I want to talk to Stan about it first. I check on Eli and see that he's still sleeping. I go downstairs and see Stan in the kitchen cooking dinner. I hug him from behind and kiss his neck. He turns towards me and smiles.

"What was that for?"

"I just got some wonderful news! I wanted to talk to you about it."

"I love wonderful news, what it is?"

"I got a job offer!"

"That's great honey!" He hugs me. "So what's the job?"

"If I take the job, I'll be running my own PetVet clinic."

Stan frowns. "What do you mean if you take the job?"

"The job is in Salt Lake City…"

"As in Utah?" I nod. "Wow…" He looks away. "That's…far…"

"Look, if you want I'll turn down the job. I'm sure I can find another opportunity in this area."

"I didn't know you were looking to relocate."

"I wasn't, the opportunity kind of fell into my lap. I'll let my boss know I'm turning it down."

"No!"

"No?" Now I'm confused.

He shakes his head. "Salt Lake City, huh?" He thinks for a moment. "You know, we all could use a fresh start."

I smile. "Really? But what about your job?"

"I'll give them my two week notice. I'm getting catering jobs here and there, maybe I can continue to build my clientele in Salt Lake City."

"Are you sure? I mean, what about Julia?"

He shrugs. "She's pretty much cut me out of her life for no reason. I have to continue to live mine. There's really nothing left for me here besides bad memories anyway."

"We can make new, happy memories!" I hug him.

"How soon can we leave?"

"I'll see if it can wait until after the wedding. We need to find somewhere to live first."

"I like that idea. I'll spend some extra time with my parents before we leave."

"Yeah me too." Just then we hear Eli crying on the baby monitor. "I'll go check on him."

"No, let me." He insists. "Can you keep an eye on the food?"

"Sure." He gives me a kiss before heading upstairs. I can't believe it, we're leaving! We're getting married and moving to a new state! He's right though, we need a fresh start, especially him. I'm hoping the move will put him in better frame of mind.
