A/N: This is a longer chapter because I simply did not know where to cut it off at lol. Please forgive me.

I only own the plot

"Baby if you love me and your life, you'll turn that damn beeping off." Beauty says while burying her face in the pillow. She is so cute in the morning. Like a grumpy kitten.

"Beauty, we have to get ready to go find our clothes for our wedding and we have to pick the parents up from the airport." I didn't have to even really finish that sentence because as soon as I said the word wedding her head popped up and she gave me such a beautiful smile. My smile.

"Well what are you still doing in bed, lazy bones. Let's get this show on the road." She screams as she jumps out of bed and runs into the bathroom. I see her wince a little and I can't help the smirk that overtakes my face. Flashbacks of last night come to mind and my dick starts on his own free will. I have to think of other things to get him to calm down because I am going to give her a break today. I need her pain free for our wedding night tomorrow. I have all night plans for my Beauty.

After quick showers and an even quicker breakfast, we all pile into the SUV we rented and head into town. We all decide that it is best to divide and conquer all of the tasks that we need to get completed before tomorrow. Beauty and I are a team, Jason and Gail take off together, and Luke decides to find a store that sells bigger memory cards for his camera. Beauty and I are in charge of finding outfits for tomorrow and Jason and Gail are going to handle everything else.

"Baby, I want to check out this little shop I saw while driving into town. They seem to have what we would be looking for." Ana says while pulling me down the sidewalk. I wrap my arm around her, pulling her into my side, and we walk in silence a couple of blocks away from where we started. We reached a small mom and pop looking clothing store named "Mari and Minik".

"Hello, my name is Mari. Welcome to my store. How can I help you today?" The small Greenlandic lady, who seemed to pop out of nowhere, asks behind us. She definitely made my heart skip a beat!

"Holy hell! I literally almost came out of my skin, lady. I would hate to have a heart attack a day before we are supposed to get married!" I say while playfully glaring at my Beauty who is doubled over in laughter.

"Hello Mari, as my fiancé just stated, we are getting married tomorrow night and we are looking for outfits for our whole wedding party we have with us. We are not looking for anything fancy. More of a laid back vibe that is still elegant and beautiful." Ana says after she sobers up from her laughing fit.

"Perfect! Follow me. I have just the dress in mind for you. Mr. Grey, you can find yourself some slacks and a button down shirt." Mari says while starting to retreat. How does this woman know me? Just as I am about to grab my Beauty and book it out of here, Mari turns around when she notices that we are not following her.

"Oh! That might have come off as super weird. Sorry! I visited America a year ago and fell in love with the gossip magazines that you guys have everywhere. You were front cover and they were asking if you were gay." Mari says while giggling. "Obviously that is not the case, and as for how I know you, no one could ever forget such a handsome face. That is why I automatically started speaking English to the both of you" Her cheeks heat up as she admits this. I blow out a big breath.

"Well, with me officially embarrassing myself, if you would follow me miss we can get you a dress that I think would work so well with your curves."

Thirty minutes later, my Beauty came out of the dressing room with her dress covered in a black garment bag and headed towards the front to pay. For a brief second, I felt a flash of irritation from her not showing me the dress to get my opinion on it, but I quickly squashed it. I understand that if she wanted me to see it, she would have shown it to me. We are only getting married once, so I suspect she wants to keep some tradition and wants me to wait to see her dress. I will respect her wishes and wont even bring it up.

We meet up with the rest of the group and we all seem to have everything that we came for, so I call this trip to town successful. We rush to take all of our clothes and supplies back to the cabins before going to pick up my mom and Ray. We leave Gail at the cabins so she can start to prepare for the wedding tomorrow.

The ride to the airport is tense as we are all worried about what Ray and Grace are going to have to say about our upcoming wedding tomorrow. I am uncharacteristically nervous and my leg is bouncing to try and control my nerves.

My Beauty lays her hand on my thigh to try to calm my leg. I look at her in her beautiful blue-green eyes and I can see the moment my feelings register to her.

"Baby, you have no reason to be nervous. No one will change my mind. I want this, I want you forever. Please relax." She says and then leans in to give me the sweetest kiss.

"Thank you Beauty. I never doubt you. It's always me getting into my own head about everything. You help reassure me so much and I can't thank you enough." I say and she cuddles into my side and we ride the rest of the trip listening to the music Luke put on. It is awful.

"So Chris, you think my old man is going to make it painless when he kills you for trying to marry his only daughter, his baby girl, or do you think he's going to make it as painful as possible." Luke smiles a shit-eating grin at me. Before I can answer, my Beauty steps in and levels him with a glare and a sinister smile.

"Honestly, big brother, Dad may kill you for letting me fall in love and marry a man I met less than two months ago. I'd shit my pants if I were you." she says smoothly and walks away.

"Shit I didn't even think about that" Luke starts pacing and running his finger through his hair. Seeing him nervous does wonders for my own nerves and I burst out laughing.

"The parents are headed your way Mr. Grey." Jason whispers standing next to me.

I see my mother and Ray headed our way. Ray has two carry-on bags in his hand and I appreciate him not letting my mother carry her own bags.

"Dad! Hi, welcome to Greenland! This is Christian and Jason." My Beauty says while pointing us out.

"And we found this creature in the parking lot and decided he could tag along with us." She says while pointing to Luke.

"Annie, be nice to the homeless man. It's not his fault he's so funny looking and homeless." Ray says while slightly laughing. My mom has a smile on her face, so I am guessing she and Ray got acquainted and she knows that Luke is Ana's brother.

"You guys should do stand up comedy. It was so funny I almost forgot to laugh. Although, I suspect I will be getting the last laugh here shortly." Luke smirks and I gulp.

"I suspect that little remark has something to do with why we are here. Am I correct?" Grace asks, looking at me.

"Yes mother. It is. How about we head on to the place we are staying, so that we can get this show on the road." I say as I grab my beauty's hand and walk towards the exit with everyone else falling behind.

We make it back to the cabins in record time with Jason driving and we ask for everyone to meet us at our cabin to have dinner and we will let them know why they are here.

Dinner is a quiet affair. Almost awkward. My Beauty is holding my hand under the table and keeps sneaking glances at Ray.

"Christian and I are getting married tomorrow!" Ana shouts and then blows out a big breath. "That has been killing me to hold in. You guys know I suck at keeping things from my dad! Sorry baby." Ana looks at me sheepishly.

"It's ok Beauty. I was right there with you. My mom kept looking at me, it was making me unsettled." I say while leaning in to give her a kiss to reassure her I am not upset with her.

Before our lips can connect, someone clears their throat loudly. We turn our head and see Ray and Grace staring at us with bulged eyes and open mouths.

"You're WHAT?!" Grace and Ray say at the same time.

"This is better than I expected! I should've been recording." Luke says and then grabs his stomach and gives off the loudest laugh I have ever heard from him. I guess he was right. He did get the last laugh.
