Amy’s POV
We walked in to the restaurant hand in hand. When I saw my little brother I let go of Brian’s hand and hugged him.

“Ooh Alex, I have missed you so much! How is everything?” I asked him after I gave him a hug.

“Yah know, life is floating by, school is killing me.” He said and smiled at me, “How are you big sis?”

“Since I met Brian everything have been completely wonderful, we have moved together, bought a dog and I’ve started my own photographing company.” I told him and Brian embraced me from behind.

“That sounds really awesome sis, it is nice to hear that the move was good for you.”

My gaze met my parents who were sitting restless at the table; they have wanted to meet Brian since the first time I told them about him. My mom, Kirah is about 43 years old; she has shoulder length blond hair with some darker highlights. She is about my length and she has a very slim but fit physique. My dad on the other hand, his name is Phil and he is 45, he has short black hair and he’s about 5’ 10”. My brother’s name is Alexander but I’ve called him Alex as long as I can remember is about 5’ 10” like my father, but he has dark brown hair like me and he is 18 years old.

“Hey mom, dad!” I said as I gave them a big hug, “This is Brian, my boyfriend.”

“We have heard so much about you Brian. I’m glad that I finally get to meet you.” My mother told Brian.

“I’m glad to meet you to Kirah.” He answered her.

“Shall we eat? I am starving!” Alex said.

Under the starters we talked about everything and nothing. Alex and Brian talked a lot about Avenged Sevenfold because he have been an Avenged fan as long as I have, that’s about a lifetime. Brian promised him that he would get autographs from the guys and that he would post it to him later. You should have seen the look on my brother’s face when Brian said that. Except for that I told my parents about everything that had happened since I moved from London, about the dogs, my job and everything else that comes by. I also told Alex about the tour the guys were having next year and told him that we could fix a V.I.P ticket for him when they were touring in London.

“This starter was really nice, what do you think Brian?” Dad asked Brian.

“Yes it was really good.” He said.

“I’m dying for dessert; can’t we skip the main course and go directly on dessert?” I asked.

“Don’t you want the lobster, honey?” Brian asked me.

“Well yes I do, but I am so freaking sweet tooth.”

“We’ll have dessert in an hour or so, you can wait until that.”

“Okay.” I said and pouted.

The main course came a few minutes later; it was lobster with some vegetables. I devoured it and waited for the dessert. Everybody else ate in peace and tranquility, except for me who ate as fast as I could just so I could rest before the dessert.

“Amy, you shouldn’t eat so fast, it’s not good for your figure.” My mother said.

“I’ve eaten like a pig whole my life, and look at my figure.” I said.

“She got a point.” Brian said and gave me a wink.

The whole evening went exemplary. My parents and Brian got along perfectly and they didn’t argument about anything. We said goodbye to my parents at ten and went out to an English pub with Alex. Brian and Alex talked about everything and nothing the whole night. Mostly about music but they also talked about themselves so they could get to know each other.

We went to the hotel at four in the morning, the night with my brother had been really fun and we had talked and just enjoyed each other’s company. When we entered our room at the hotel we both fell asleep, with clothes and makeup on.

The next morning I awakened of the sunlight that poured through the window. It was a beautiful day so I decided to call room service and order some breakfast for med and Brian, who still was asleep.

“Oh hello, I would like to order some breakfast to room 813, please.” I said to the room service.

“Ma’am, it’s two o’clock, we doesn’t serve breakfast this time.” He answered.

“I’m sorry; I haven't got any track on time. What do you have for lunch?” I asked.

“We have everything from lobster to pancakes.”

“Then I would like to have some pancakes, please.” I said.

“Pancakes and supplies are coming right up.”

“Thank you!” I said and hung up.

I started to wake Brian from his beauty sleep.

“Brian, wake up, it’s two in the afternoon and I’ve ordered some breakfast!” I said.

“Mhm, just five more minutes.”

“No, now Brian, they are here in a few minutes.”

“Oh come on now babe, can’t we skip the meal and go directly on dessert.” He said that and I saw lust in his eyes.

“So you’re on that mood? Well I guess that we can eat after we had dessert.”

“Come here than babe.”

As usual when we’re in this mood someone interrupt us, this time to. We heard a knock and then the room service. He came in with our lunch and left, which meant more time alone with Brian. He started to zip up my dress and pull it off my body. At the same time as he did that I started to pull his shirt off him. It wasn't easy but I managed to do that. He pulled of his jeans and I did the same with my leggings. Underneath the dress I had some quite sexy underwear. I had a white lace bra and matching lace panties. He studied my body with a smirk glued to his face.

We had some extremely hot and pleasurable hotel sex I may say, and to top it off we ate some really good pancakes afterwards. And it wouldn't be the last time we had hotel sex during this vacation, I could feel it.

It was only two days left until we were going home to our life and dogs. And today we were going to do some shopping and take a tour in London Eye, that was Brian's ide and I had no idea why he wanted to do that. But since he was going with me on the shopping I figured that I could do something for him.

After the breakfast we decided that it was time for a shower. We had a big shower so it was no problem showering together. It took about an hour in the shower, just because I was there with Brian and I like to shower for a long time. Brian was ready before me so he went to the bedroom of the suit and started to get ready for the shopping. Just 10 minutes later I was ready as well.

I went to the bedroom and looked for Brian, who wasn't there. I started to wonder where he had gone, because I would be ready in half an hour or so. I didn't have time to bother so I started to blow-dry my hair and then straighten it; I chose a basic style today so I would have more time with the clothes and makeup. After my hair was done I went to the suitcase and started to look for some clothes to wear. After some hesitations I chose space-leggings, a black zip-hoodie, my black lined Converse and a jacket; it was still cold outside, especially compared to home. When all the clothes were on the right place I applied makeup, I did a simple but yet stylish eye makeup and a simple pink lipstick. When I was done with everything I sat on the edge of the bed and just waited for Brian to come back. 15 minutes went by and I hadn't heard anything from him, so I sent him a text.

"Where are you Brian?" I wrote.

"I'm soon back, I promise." He answered.

"Okay, but please hurry, I'm done ages ago."

"Don't worry, love you."

"Love you too." I wrote before I turned the TV on and watched some crappy program.

Brian's POV
I was in a hurry, I didn't think that Amy would be done that fast with the shower, makeup and the other stuff she needed to get done. The whole plan was going in to pieces. But I did hope that everything would be perfect when I was going to propose to her. I had ordered some flowers for the ride in London Eye, red roses, her favorite. Oh well, I hadn't ordered some, I had ordered a lot of them. And then I ordered some special music, a guitar riff that I had done to her, and only her. If this went as planned everything would be perfect, so I just had to hurry to my hopefully future wife.
I ran up to our room with seven pink roses, it means in "flower language" that I'm in love with her and promises her fidelity. No I didn't have an idea until the florist told me that when I was on my way back and didn't want to come back empty handed. And I wanted to buy something that I know she likes, and roses are one of her favorite things.

I went inside to see Amy who lay on the bed, not asleep luckily. When she saw me she smiled and came towards me. I gave her a hug and a fast kiss on the mouth and then I gave her the flowers I hid behind my back.

"Oh Brian, you didn't have to." She said.

"Yes I did, because you are the most wonderful, caring and beautiful girl in the world, and you deserve flowers every day." I answered her.

She kissed me again; I can live with that without doubts.

We started our shopping at Piccadilly; she went in to every store and bought a lot of stuffs. The thing that I know she bought was underwear from Victoria Secrets, a pair of Converse; I don't know what color and then some clothes from other stores. I just bought Converse and some t-shirts.

"Can we go to London Eye now?" I asked her.

"Yes sure, I'm done with the shopping anyway."

My palms started to get sweaty and my heart started to pound really hard. I hoped that she wouldn't notice anything.
We took a cab to London Eye; it started to get dark and a lot of wonderful colors appeared on the sky. I just hoped that this would stay, than it would be really beautiful when I proposed.

It took about 5 minutes to get to London Eye and it was still really beautiful outside, when the staff there saw me they started to prepare everything for our ride. They had closed it for an amount of money. We walked hand in hand there and I noticed that she saw the things I had organized for her.

"Brian, what is this?" She asked.

"You will see soon." I said and smirked.

As we stepped on to London Eye I thought I would faint of nervousness. The smell of roses that filled the little booth was stunning.

It felt like forever until the ride was on the top, and then it stopped. It was a personal favor the staff did for me.

"Brian, why did we stop?" Amy asked me.

"Amy, I love you of all my heart." I started, "This is a beautiful evening, but it's not as beautiful as you are."

She held her hands at her heart; I think she was starting to figure out what I was going to do. I took out the little box with the rings in it and stepped down on one knee.

"Amy Jones, will you marry me?"

Two weeks later...
"Aaaaammmyyyy?" Brian whispered.

"Whaaat?" I asked him sleepily.

"Amy, its Christmas!" He said.

"What? Yeeeeeeeey, its Christmas!" I said and jumped out of the bed.

"Yes it's!" He said and started to dance and jump with me, if it was something we both love, it is Christmas.

As we jumped around Rocky and Damon joined us. They were as happy as us, not about Christmas, rather that we were so happy. Since we came home from London we had a lot to do, we had planned the wedding and the one month tour the guys was going to have a couple of days after Christmas. Luckily for me Brian was going to be home at New Year’s Eve. I had also talked with Sandra who wanted to be my assistant and I hired her directly. She was a happy person who loved to work, and she just made my work easier. So I thought, why not? But now it was Christmas, and we were free from work and meetings. This was a perfect morning that I was going to spend with Brian and our dogs.

"Let’s go downstairs and eat some breakfast." Brian said.

"Okay, but let’s eat fast so we can open our presents." I said.

"Sounds perfect."

We ran downstairs and gave the dogs some food and did pancakes to ourselves. Both of us ate really fast, just so we could open our presents as fast as possible. Before we could open any presents we let our dogs out.

"So, who is going to open what first?" Brian asked me.

"I think we give each other a respective present." I said.

We gave each other a respective present, it was two smaller presents, but that doesn't mean they are lesser worth than the big ones.

"Oooh a white Iphone 5!!!" I yelled.

"Ooooooh and I got a black Iphone 5!!" Brian yelled.

"It looks like we know each other to well." I said and laughed at him.

"Ha-ha, yes, now open another." He said and gave me another smaller present.

"I will only open it if you'll open this one!" I said and handled him a package.

We opened them as well, and in Brian's package it was a Rolex, he have wanted one for a long time, but he didn't know what color he wanted, so he didn't bother to buy one. And in my present it was not one, but two lenses to my camera, a 10.5mm f/2.8G ED DX Fisheye-Nikkor and a AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G. That's two lenses I was going to buy but didn't have a clue which one of them I wanted and it ended with a camera flash instead.

"Thanks Brian, you are the best!" I said and hugged him.

"No, because it's only one that can be the best, and you are the one." He said and gave me a kiss.

Happiness flow in the air as we opened the rest of the presents. I got some really nice things from Brian. But that's because he is the best. When we were ready we gave Rocky and Damon their presents. They got a new dog collars, bones and things like that. When we were done with everything we cleaned the house, everybody was coming to our place to celebrate. It was a lot of work but it was worth it in the end.

When we were done with the cleaning we both began with the Christmas food, we did some Christmas ham, potato, salad and other things. We weren't the only ones who were doing the food. Val made some that she would bring later, same with Brian's parents. After some hours in the kitchen Brian shouted at me.

"Amy? Are you ready soon? They are coming any minute now." He shouted from upstairs.

"What? Already?" I asked him.

"Yeah, so if you want to do your makeup and change from pajamas you'll have to hurry."

"Oh shit, I'll be up any second."

I was done with everything so I went upstairs to get ready for the celebration. I chose my red dress, the one I had when I and Brian met my parent. I figured out that it would be nice to use that again, since I never used dresses at normal days. Then I applied some makeup, red eye shadow that was a bit transparent so you didn't see it to well and then black eyeliner, mascara, rouge and a red lipstick. I like red a lot, and it's also a Christmas colors, that's perfect if you ask me.

When I stepped out of the bathroom when I was ready Brian stood there and checked me out.

"You look great gorgeous." He said.

"Aaww, thank you, you don’t look so bad yourself." I said.

"I'm doing my best; it's not easy to look good standing next to you."

"Stop be such a charmer." I said and playfully slapped him on the arm.

"I'm just telling the truth." He said and gave me a fast kiss.

The dogs came running; they were playing and jumping around in the house.

"Rocky, no playing in the house." I told him quietly and he sat down in front of me. I gave him a quick kiss on his forehead.

"You know, it would be perfect if we put on the new collars on them." Brian said, "Just to make them a little more dressed up."

"Yeah, that's a great idea."

Brian ran downstairs to get the collars and I stayed with the dogs in our bedroom.

"I don't know what I would have done without you Rocky, you're the best thing that have happened to me." I said to Rocky, "You saved my life when I found you."

He laid his head in my lap and I patted him. I loved him with all my heart; he was the most perfect dog ever. And Damon would be as perfect as him, when he got a little bit older. Damon walked to me and placed his head on the other side of my lap.

"Oh yes, I love you to little guy. My little sunshine." I told him and he kissed my hand.

"But you don't love me?" Brian said and pouted.

"Oh my good boy, come here and sit with us." I said to him and stretched out my hand so he could take it. He placed himself next to me and I gave him a kiss.

"Of course I love you; my life wouldn't be complete without you." I said.

"Amy Jones, my life wouldn't be worth living if I wouldn't have you by my side."

"Oh stop it, you'll make me blush." I said and looked away.

Brian took my chin so we were face to face.

"It makes you even more beautiful." He said and kissed me passionately.

Brian's POV
The clock was ticking and more people came to my and Amy's house. Matt and Val came first, then Zacky and Jimmy. Shortly after that came Johnny and my parents came last. They laid the presents under our Christmas tree and then placed themselves around the table in the dining room.

"Is it time to eat soon? I'm starving!!" Jimmy complained to me.

"Yes, I just have to get all the food." I told him, "It's hard to eat without it."

"That's true, do you need some help?" He asked me.

"No thanks, I'll be fine."

I walked to the kitchen where Amy stood and prepared all the extremely good smelling food. She was just done with everything and we took it out to all the hungry wolves in the dining room.

"Finally some food!" Matt said and began to help himself.

"Yes, but if you would have helped it would have gone faster." I joked.

"Wll thth to ltn no." Matt tried to talk and it was hopeless to hear what he was saying because he had so much food in his mouth.

"I hope that the food tastes good." Amy said and started to eat.

"It does Amy, you don't have to worry." Val said to her.

After an hour or so we were done with the food and sat and chatted.

"So how are you two then?" Brian SR asked me and Brian.

"We're just fine, a lot to do with my new started company but it's flowing without any problems." Amy answered my dad.

"Yeah, and we're going on tour in two weeks." Brian said.

"What are you going to do when the guys are going on tour Amy?" Brian SR asked.

"Well, I have my company to think consider." She said, "But I'll visit them when they are here."

"That sounds nice."

Then it knocked on the door...

"I wonder who that can be." I said.

"Shall I take it?" Amy asked me.

"No I can do that." I told her and started to get up.

I walked to the door and opened. Behind it a saw a thing that would make Amy really happy.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jones, what a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here?" I asked them when I saw that it was Amy's parents.

"We had thought about a trip somewhere for a while, and a Christmas without our daughter is not a great Christmas." Mrs. Jones told me, "And please, call me Kirah."

"Kirah, Phil and Alex, please come in."

"Big sis!!" I heard Alex yell to Amy.

"Alex!!!! What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to surprise my big sister." He told her.

"So good to see you!" She said, "Mom, dad? What are you doing here?"

"We didn't want to celebrate Christmas without you." Phil said, "So we figured out that we could come here so the family would be gathered."

"And we haven't celebrated Christmas with you since 3 years back." Kirah said, "So we thought it would be a good time to do that now."

Now the whole family was gathered. It felt too good to be true. I really liked Amy's parents and especially her brother Alex. And Christmas is all about celebrating with the people you love. We sat around the table and talked with each other for a long time, and everyone was happy.

"So how long are you staying here?" I asked Amy's parents.

"Well, we have a hotel booked for about three weeks. We felt that it was time for a long vacation." Kirah told me.

"Then you can come to one of our concerts Alex!" Jimmy said with a big smile on his lips.

"Yeah that sounds great Jimmy." He answered, "Thanks."

"None of us has seen you since 2009; we went to your concert in London together." Amy told us, “Except for the one you had when we had our engagement party.”

"Then you both should come." Johnny suggested.

"Yeah why not."

“Then it’s settled. You two are coming when we are playing in Long Beach.” I said.

“Yaaay!” Amy screamed.

A lot of time went by, we were talking and laughing. It was just so great that we were together. Mine and Amy’s family at one table, getting along as if they had known each other their whole lives.

“I think it’s time to open some Christmas gifts.” Zacky said all of a sudden.

“Sounds great!”

“I want to open first!” Jimmy said and ran around in the living room.

“You can open my present Jimmy.” Amy said to him.

“Yaaaaaaaaay!!!” He yelled.

“Here you go Jimmy.” She said and gave him a Christmas gift from both of us. He ripped it open and inside it were an IPhone 5 and a shell with ducks on it. Stallion ducks if you're going to be picky.

“Aaaawww thanks guys, this is perfect.” He said and hugged us both.

“No problem Jimmy boi.” I told him.

“Now, open my gift I bought for you.” He said to me and Amy.

Inside the little package it was two mac books pro, a respective.

“Jimmy, you didn’t have to!!!” Amy said and gave him a hug.

“Yes I did, since you met Brian you two have been so happy.”

“That’s because we’re meant to be.” I said and embraced Amy.

We opened what felt like a thousand presents, and we got some really nice stuff. It was a lot of things for our house, then some things for Rocky and Damon. We also gave a lot of presents. Luckily for us we had bought some presents to Amy’s parents. They got some new phones and a new car. Yes it’s kind of much but when you’ve got money, expensive things doesn’t matter for our economy. We both earned a lot and it felt good to buy things to others instead of to yourself all the time.

Christmas went by really fast and ended at midnight... We said goodbye to our family and went to bed directly. It had been a really though day and we both were exhausted.

The next morning we woke up early and started to clean the house. It took about two hours until we were ready and then we decided to go out on our backside and smoke.

"Can you understand that we're getting married here in about two months?" Amy asked me.

"No, I haven't realized it yet." I told her, "It's going to be great, but are you sure that it's okay that I'm going on tour while you are planning the wedding?"

"Yeah no problem, I have my mother here and she will help me a lot."

"That's true, but I don't want you to feel any pressure about it."

"Don't worry too much, it will work, I promise." She said.

"Well, but you'll have to drop all the wedding stuff and come and see me and the boys when we're playing here."

"Yes, of course Brian. I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world." She said.

We sat on the beach and smoked while Rocky and Damon played in the water. But after a little while we heard Rocky scream...

"Rocky!!!! What's wrong? Come here boy!!" Amy yelled.

"He's not coming!" I said and ran to him.

He laid in the water, but his head was on the beach, he breathed but didn't move..

"Why is he not moving?" Amy said and started to cry.

"Give me a second." I said and called Matt.

"What's up Brian?" He asked directly when he picked up my call.

"It's Rocky, he's not moving and I can't carry him all by myself." I told him, "Can you please come here and help me?"

"I'm on my way." He said and hung up.

"Matt is coming any minute, we'll rush him to the animal hospital as fast as we can." I told Amy.

"I'm coming with you, no way in hell that I'm leaving my dog."

"I didn't think you would stay at home, can you prepare Damon for the ride?"

"Yeah sure, come here Damon, let's get ready, we'll have to go fast as hell now." Amy told Damon.

She ran inside and I sat with Rocky who was breathing fast.

"Please Rocky, you can do this, don't die. Amy needs you, and so do me and Damon too." I tolt him and he looked me in the eyes. It looked like he was in a lot of pain, and we had no idea of what was the reason of his pain.

"I'm here Brian." I heard Matt say.

"Come here, and be careful, he's in a lot of pain right now." I told him.

"Yeah of course, I can't stand to hurt him more."

We started to lift him up, he cried a bit but he got quiet when we started to go to the car. Amy had opened the trunk; we got a BMW X5 so it was a lot of space there for both her and Rocky. Damon was riding in the back seat. It felt like forever to go to the animal hospital, and Rocky only got worse.

When we got there me and Matt took Rocky in our arms and ran in, Amy followed us and had Damon next to her on a leash.

"Excuse me, but this is an emergency!" I yelled at the lady behind the desk.

"What have happened?" She asked Brian.

"I don't have a clue, but if our dog doesn't get help soon he won't survive." I told her.

"Just give me one second and I will get the veterinary here."

The vet came fast, he was running with a stretcher and we placed Rocky there. They rolled him in to the operation and another veterinary came to ask us questions.

"Hey, who is the owner of Rocky?" He asked.

"It's me and him." Amy said and pointed at me.

"Do you have any clue of what have happened to Rocky?" He asked and I could se on his name tag that his name is Dr. Young.

"No, not a clue." Brian told him.

"That's weird. So he just collapsed?" He asked.

"Yes, we were out on our beach and then I heard him scream. And he just laid there and didn't move." Amy told him and sobbed.

"They are doing their best in there, I'll come back when I know more about the injures." He said.
We sat in there forever, or at least it felt like that. After three hours I woke Amy who had fallen asleep after all the crying.

"What's happening?" She asked sleepily.

"Nothing yet, but we have to go out with Damon, it's been three hours since we got here and he hasn't been out yet." I answered her.

"Oh, yeah, sure. Let's go out."

We took Damon and went outside. It was quite cold, but that didn't surprise me, it was evening and cloudy. I begged to God that he would spare Rocky, I couldn't stand it if he didn't survive this. Amy would be devastated and she couldn't handle that. So I begged, and begged and begged that he would be fine.

"Are you done with your cigarette?" I asked Amy.

"Yeah, let’s go inside." She answered.

It took about four more hours until a veterinary came, it was Dr. Young this time too. He had a special look on his face. Like something had happened. I just hoped that Rocky would survive, the rest could we fix later...

"Rocky has been in operation for about five to six hours. The veterinaries has done their best and it doesn't always comes out with a good result. But Rocky is alive and he is on the intensive. He got a thrombus and nearly died, that is something you couldn't provide, it just happens sometimes. And he will recover without a problem." Dr. Young said to us and I could see that Amy was smiling, and she shined bright like a diamond.

"Oh my God, thank you so much. When can we see him?" Amy asked.

"Supposedly tomorrow, he needs to be here over night so the veterinaries can check on him."

"Thanks again, we'll come and pick him up tomorrow." I said and took Amy's hand.

As we walked outside, I felt her happiness and it was infected on me. Our dog had survived a thrombus and was coming home soon. Now we were going to get some sleep. We were going to get Rocky on the afternoon anyways.
"What do you think about check into a hotel?" Amy asked me.

"Sounds good, I think it is one somewhere here, then we don't need to call Matt."

"Oh, yeah he has the car."

"Yep, but shall we take a little walk and try to find a hotel?" I asked her.

"Yes, I think we both need a good night sleep." She said.

It took about five minutes until we found a hotel, it was a three star hotel, but that would be fit for. We just needed some sleep so we would be alert when we were going to pick up Rocky.

"Hey, we need a room for two persons and a dog." Amy told the guy in the reception.

"Okay, do you want a room with balcony or court yard?" He asked us.

"Court yard, please." I told him. It would be easier to take Damon out then. We wouldn't have to go downstairs every time he needed to go out.

"Here is the key, and your room number is 13." He told us.

"Thank you so much." Amy said to him.

We found our room on the first floor and opened the door. It was very easy, but that didn't matter at all. The bed was really soft, just the way I like it. And that was about it. We didn't need more things. Of course we had a bathroom, but it was just a toilet and shower. We decided to go out on the count yard with Damon and on the same time smoke and just talk. We talked about everything and nothing outside. Mostly about the wedding, Amy wanted it to be white and red. I agreed, I love red, white and purple, but it didn't have to be purple since Amy's absolute favorite color was red.
After the smoke we all went inside to get some sleep. Damon was a bit worried since he hadn't been without Rocky anything. They had been together since we bought him. He slept between me and Amy. It got really warm but what don't you do for your dogs?

The next morning we woke up by Damon, he was howling and he did it loud.

"Damon, what's wrong?" Amy asked him and patted him on his head.

"I think he's worried about Rocky."

"Yes, I think that to." She said.

"We are going to pick him up in three hours; I'm craving for some hotel breakfast." I told her.

"Are dogs allowed in the dining room?" Amy asked.

"I have no idea, but I hope so. Shall we take a look?"

"Yeah, sure."

We walked to the dining room, and asked the staff about dogs. And they had a small place where we could drop of Damon and they would give him some breakfast too. I took a lot of good food, some bacon, scrambled eggs, bread, fruits, coffee and yeah, things like that. And Amy took about the same things as I did.

"Oh God, I love hotel breakfast." She said when she had tasted the scrambled eggs.

"It's the most wonderful breakfast, except for the one you do." I said.

"Yeah sure, I can't even cook." She said and smiled.

"Well, it's good anyway."

I forgot about the time, we sat there for about one and a half hour and ate. It was so good, and I love to spend time with Amy and just talk. But when we were done we went to get Damon, he was full and satisfied. And now we were on our way to the hospital, I crossed my fingers and hoped that Rocky would be fine...

Brian's POV
The big day...
I didn't know why I was so nervous, I just was. It was my wedding day, I was getting ready for being Amy's husband, and we would be married in less an hour. Maybe I was nervous because I was scared that she would run away, that it would be to big pressure on her. We hadn't been together for so long, soon a year or so. But I love her of all my heart and I want to spend the rest of my life with her...
I was getting ready; I had smoking and Converse, black ones. It was Amy's little demand; I don't know why and really doesn't care either. I like Converse, they look good to anything. Then I had my hair kind of lying but still spiky, a little bit of make-up and that's it.

It was about twenty-five minutes until we were getting married. I didn't know what to do, so I just sat there and waited. My heart pounded hard and my palms were getting sweaty. I was thinking of all the people outside, I have no problem to go out on stage on a concert, but this was killing me slowly. If something happened I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, on stage, I have the power to fix things I fuck up. This time, I wouldn't be able to do that. When I sat there and philosophized someone entered the room...

"How are you Brian?" I heard Zacky say.

"I'm okay, just nervous." I told him.

"No need to be, Amy loves you as much as you love her." He said.

"But think if she runs away, if the pressure of being married to a rock star is too much for her!" I said and covered my face with my hands.

"She is not going to run away Brian! If she couldn't handle the pressure you two would have been over ages ago."

"Maybe that, but what happens if she realize it now?"

"Do you really think that she would do that?" He asked me and raised an eyebrow.

"Deep down in my heart I know that it won't happen, no."

"Then come on, it's time to get married now." He said and we walked to the altar.

Amy's POV
It was just a few minutes left until I was going to walk down the aisle and marry the love of my life. We had decided to have Canon in D Major; we did a little remix of it so it felt more like us, I didn't want an original song. It was beautiful and I had practiced a hundred of times with Val so I didn't walk to fast or out of step. I was completely done with everything. I had my dress on, my shoes, all my jewelries and a big bouquet of red roses.

"It's time now Amy." My father came and said to me, he was the one who would walk with me to Brian.

"I'm ready." I said and we linked our arms.

We came out on our porch. I got a clear look on how everything looked now and it was beautiful. After the porch the long white aisle came, and on both sides of them it was a lot a chairs where our family and friends now stood and looked at me. The weather was wonderful, the sun was shining and it was becalmed. Everything was just perfect. Canon in D Major started and I knew that it was my time to shine. I started to walk and looked around, it was red roses everywhere and it smelled really good. I looked further away and saw Brian, he shined and he was so beautiful that I nearly lost my breath. When he saw me, he got the biggest smile on his face that I had ever seen. This was so perfect and I could thank Val and my mother for that.

I could feel that everyone’s eyes were focused on me. It wasn't any bad feeling, but I felt a little pressure to not screw up. I could see Sandra too, I had asked her if she wanted to photograph our wedding, I trusted her fully, she had been with me and my company for a couple of weeks and she was doing a really good job. And she borrowed my camera for the wedding; I wanted it to be perfect.

Finally I was done with all the walking. My dad gave Brian my hand, and the ceremony started.

"We are gathered together on this beautiful afternoon to share with Amy and Brian as they exchange vows of their everlasting love." The priest started. "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

I looked right in to Brian's eyes; I just couldn't believe that I was going to be married with him in just a few minutes.

"Amy and Brian take their vows today, we are privileged to witness the joyous love of a new family -- a family that will be nourished and nurtured through the devotion of two separate individuals growing together through the common bonds of love.

May their marriage bring them the peace, joy, comfort and contentment that is known in the hearts of all God's children. And may Brian and Amy both look forward to each new season of their marriage --- just as the world looks forward to each new season of the year. For all seasons bring with them their own special moments and memories.
An essential requirement of a good marriage is a strong bond of real friendship and trust. Amy and Brian, your love for each other will grow deeper with every passing day, but it's important to remember that your love stands on a foundation of genuine, mutual affection and respect for each other. To truly LOVE another person is to be willing to accept both their strong points, and their weak points, with equal measures of understanding and respect.
The vows you are about to exchange, will serve as a verbal representation of the non-verbal emotions that are as real as anything that can be seen, heard or touched.

For it is not the words that you will speak today that will bond you together as one --- but the strength of the love and commitment found deep within your souls." He continued.

"At this time, I’ll ask you, Brian, and you, Amy, to face each other & take each other’s hands." He said and I took Brian's hands in mine.

"Brian, will you take Amy to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked Brian.

"I do." Brian said.

"Amy, will you take Brian to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked me.

"I do."

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest said and we kissed.

Everyone on the beach stood up and cheered. The whole band hugged us and my mother came crying and gave me a big hug. I was just so happy, and nothing was going to ruin my day. I was official married to Brian, and it felt so good that I could explode.

"So how does it feel to be Mrs. Haner?" Brian asked me.

"I don't think you know how good it feels Brian." I said and kissed him again.

We went inside to our house with all the other right behind us. Matt, Zacky, Jimmy and Johnny got on stage and started to play some music we could dance to and Brian and I had our first dance as married. We stood there and danced for a while, and then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was my dad; he wanted to dance with me. And Brian's stepmother wanted to dance with Brian. So we switched partner and I got some time alone with my father.

"I can't believe that my little princess is married." He said to me and I saw that his eyes became watery.

"Don't cry dad."

"How can I not cry Amy, the day you left you got me all worried. And it turned out to be the best choice you have ever made." He told me.

"One of my best choices dad, I have done one more thing that share the first place." I said.

"And what would that be?" He asked me confused.

"I rescued my best friend from getting killed, Rocky, who moved here with me." I said, "He has been on my side since that."

"Yes... I forgot him; you know that I still have Boss' aches at home, if you would like me to send it to you so you can bury him here."

"That would be nice, he would have loved it here dad."

"Yes, I know, that's why I thought it would be a good thing to do for him. And he won't get any rest until he is reunited with you." He said.

"That's true." That's was the last thing I said to him under the time we danced. I just wanted to dance with him and not worrying about things that will happen and have happened. My dad and I are the same person in two bodies, we know each other to a hundred percent and it will always be like that, even if we live so far away from each other.

Next thing I knew was that Brian was back.

"Hey sweetheart, it's time for the wedding dinner." He said to me.

"Already? But I haven't danced much!"

"You have danced for an hour honey." Brian said.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked, "Woah, time flies by when you are having fun."

"Yes it is, come on now, the starter is coming soon." He told me.

We laced our fingers and walked to the dining room where everyone sat. We sat so everyone could see us, of course, that are a standard for weddings. Before we ate Brian stood up and cleared his throat.
"We all are here to celebrate that me and Amy finally are married. And I would like to say some words before we eat." He said and I was getting curious.

"Before I met you Amy, my world was upside down, of course I had my family, but something was missing, one piece of me wasn't where it should be. Until you came in to my life. Then all ended up their place and I started to be happy again. You fixed my broken heart and you did it without any problems. I fell for you when I first saw you. I remember our first meeting, our first kiss and everything that we have done. You are the most important person in my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you Amy Haner." I couldn't hold my tears, I just cried. I was so happy that Brian found me on the beach that day, if he wouldn't have done that, we wouldn't be married now. I couldn't still believe that we were married; I was married with someone I was madly in love with before I even knew him.

"I don't even know what to say." I started, "But I'll give it a try. I left London for about a year ago and a lot have happened since that. Not many know why I left. I have told everyone that I didn't fit in, and of course that's one of the reasons. But the biggest reason I left was because I lost my dog Boss in an accident. He was killed and it was nothing I could do to prevent it to happen. Boss was my best friend for six years and I lost him in a second. I couldn't stand to relive the horrible moment, over and over again. So I decided to just go. A couple of months before I left I found Rocky who was going to be dead if it wasn't for me. No one wanted him, except for me. And I don't regret that, because he is my best friend and he will always be that. And one day, when I had lived her for about six months I met Brian. It wasn't on a concert or anything like that. We just met, like we are meant to be. It was the happiest day of my life. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I think about the time I met the rest of the Sevenfold's and Brian introduced me as his girlfriend. It was honestly the best day of my life, until now. If you wouldn't be a part of my life, this wouldn't have worked. Brian you light up my life, and without you I would be a light that is near the end, I love you." I cried through the whole speech. I mentioned Boss just so everyone would know what happened, but I hated to talk about him. I was with him when he died and I would never forget that. When you lose someone you love, and especially when you witness it, it will be in the back of your head all the time. But Brian helped me to forget the horrible and remember the wonderful. Just like I wanted it to be. Although Boss would be one of the biggest parts of my life, I didn't suffer any more about his death. And we were going to be together when I will bury him here, not stand on a little table at my parents’ house in London; he was coming back to me.

"Is it my time now?" My dad asked.

"Yeah sure, everyone that will say something will say something." Brian said and smiled at him.
"Since you left London Amy, it has been really empty. We are missing you and I always want you to come back. But when I see you now with Brian, I can see that you are happy. Last time I saw you this happy was when you got Boss from us. And you can never imagine how happy I am that you have found someone that cares about you as much as you care about him. I want to wish you all the luck in life, and I love you my little princess."

“I love you to daddy.” I said and more tears appeared.

“Now it is Jimmy’s time to shine.” Jimmy said and stood up.

“Amy, you may not have been in our life for that long. But since you came to us, Brian has smiled every day, I have a ninja partner and Val has someone to go shopping with. You have done our life a little better than before; a lot better if you ask Brian. When we were on tour for a month, he couldn’t stop talking about you. He nagged every day and every night. And that is true love. So Amy-pop, I am glad that you are here.” He finished. And I couldn’t put words on my feelings right now. It was too much.

“Anyone else that wants to say something?” Alex and Carly held up their hands.

“Okay, let’s go with Carly first then.” I said.

“I don’t know where to begin, but I’ll try my best. I and Amy have been friends since, well a lot of years. We went best friends after a week and we were glued together, until the day you left. At 2007 we found out about Avenged Sevenfold, and then the obsession begun. We wore A7X t-shirts every day and had about a thousand each. Our walls got filled with posters of you guys, and it was a lot. I was stuck in the whole band, but Amy on the other hand got obsessed of Brian. She had him as background on her mobile, computer and her walls is still filled with pictures of him. After the concert in 2009, it only got worse. Amy caught a pick from Brian and if I still remember it correctly she has it as a necklace somewhere. We always laughed and joked about you two getting married, and see here you are. Amy got her prince and she is happy. And I am really glad for you two.” She said and sat down.

“Aaww, I can’t believe that you remember all of that, it was ages ago.” I said to her.

“Of course I remember, it was the best time of my life.”

“Oh well, now it is my time to talk.” Alex said.

“Go on then little brother.” I said to him.

“Alright, Amy, I can’t believe that you are married to one of the guys in our absolute favorite band. I remember when you dreamed of it, and the nights you felt alone and just listened to Brian’s vocals or guitar solos. You were in love with a guy you didn’t know, but it ended up to be something good. Without even looking for your dream guy, you found him, and I am really happy for you.”

“Thanks Alex, that means a lot.”

“Okay, last one now then. Who is the lucky person going to be?” Brian said and only Matt raised his hand, “Alrighty then Matt, the word is yours.”

“Where to begin? It is a lot of things that makes this wedding one of the best decided weddings on this earth. First; you two love each other, more than possible and second; you two are so good for each other and you light up each other’s days without even knowing it. As long as you are together, nothing is impossible. Before you two met each other, wow, Brian was a grumpy guy, thanks to Cynthia. And when he first told us about you, we didn’t believe him, but we could see some changes in him, he started to be happy again. And then we met you for the first time, and Brian smiled the whole night. Witch he hadn’t done for a long while. That makes me grateful of you being in our lives Amy, you give us some extra happiness and you just love everyone and everything. You are the best bonus sister that a guy can get.” I didn’t know what to say. I had no idea that Matt thought about or relationship like that. We didn’t talk as much as I wanted to, the only one I really clicked with was Jimmy, of course I loved the other guys like my brothers, but it wasn’t the same as with Jimmy. But that was going to change, because I was going to stay for a long while now.

“And now it is time for dinner.” Brian said and sat down.

We ate some really good food and just sat and chatted. I and Brian had our parents next to us and they were the people we talked mostly to. Everything came up when we sat and talked about what we are going to do next, if we were going to start a family whit children and things like that. And honestly, I had no idea of what I was going to do after this. I thought about just going back to normal and go on with our life, the only that would change was my name and that me and Brian was married. We hadn’t talked about kids at all. I didn’t even know if Brian wanted any kids or if I wanted it. It was a later decision anyway so I didn’t want to think about that now. Just that me and Brian was going to enjoy or wedding fully.

“Anyone that want some cake?” Brian asked and the waitress came out with a big wedding cake. And yes, we had some waitresses on our wedding; I didn’t want anyone in my family to do that. This was a day to relax. The cake was big, four levels with white lace and red roses. Everything was eatable, and on the top it was a girl and a boy, holding hands. They nearly looked as happy as me and Brian, but not right as happy. No one could be happier than me today.
We ate some cake, and of course we smeared out some in each other’s faces. Not too much, we didn’t want to mess up the make-up. A lot of laughs slipped out, everyone smiled and was happy. Our dogs ran around in the house and were glad that they got a lot of attention, not everything circled around me and Brian. This was a time that everyone should get together and be happy. You should make new friends or talk to friends that you hadn’t seen for a while. Or maybe find your partner, because I could see Zacky and Carly making out now and that. If I would have been my old me, that would have irritated me, but now I was only glad that someone else were happy too. I wanted everyone to be as happy as I was.

“How are you honey?” Brian asked me.

“I am happy, confused and in a dream world.” I answered, “How are you?”

“Couldn’t say it better myself. I have something to say to you thought.”

“And what could that be?” I asked him curious.

“You know that we said we weren’t going on a honeymoon, well, I booked tickets yesterday and we are going anyway.” He said.

“But Brian, we don’t have time for that.”

“I have already talked with all your clients, and they say that you have to do it, they refuse that you will photograph them until you are back from our honeymoon.” He told me proudly.

“Okay then, but where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise; you’ll see tomorrow when we are there.” He said, “Or when we are going on the plane, because it will stand where we are going, ha-ha.”

My mobile vibrated after he said that.

“You know that your boyfriend is cheating on you, right?” The text said.

“Who is this?” I asked.

“You don’t know who I am, but I know who Brian is, and we are having sex.” The person said.

“Brian, you’ll have to be honest with me now. Promise.” I asked him and my heart was pounding hard in my chest. I didn’t think he was cheating on me, but I had to ask him.

“Of course sweetheart, I would never lie to you.” He said and smiled.

“Are you cheating on me?”

“No, what makes you think that?” He asked chocked, “I would never cheat on you Amy, never.”

“I’m sorry Brian, it’s just that I got a text that said that you are cheating on me.” I said and showed him the text.

“Amy, I know that number, it is Cynthia. She hasn’t changed it since we broke up.” He said and I saw that he was getting angry.

“It is?” I asked chocked.

“Yes it is, and somehow she probably knows that we are getting married, and I can promise you that I am not cheating on you, and especially not with Cynthia.” He said.

“I never thought that you are cheating on me, I just wanted to ask you.” I said and kissed him.

“I know who you are, and you are not going to ruin my wedding.” I said to Cynthia.

“How did you know? And what wedding?” She asked.

“You haven’t changed number since you cheated on Brian, and well, he recognized the number. And we are getting married, or we are married now. So please don’t write to me, because I am trying to have a wonderful day with my husband.” I answered her.

“If she tries something else, I am going to chase her down and kill her, just so you know.” I said to Brian.

“Please don’t do that.” He said.

“Why wouldn’t I?” I said and was starting to get upset, why did he defend her?

“Because I couldn’t stand that you would have to go to prison, I want you by my side every day.” He said, “If it wasn’t for that I would chase her down myself.”

“You are too sweet Brian, do you know that?”

“I know, and that is thanks to you.” He told me, “Now, do you want to dance with me?”

“I would love that Brian.” I said and took his hand. We were dancing all night and enjoyed the company and I was so happy that I thought butterflies would come out of my ears. Nothing could ruin this, not even Cynthia who had already tried to. I was as happy as anyone could be, and this was just the beginning of mine and Brian’s life together.

Brian's POV
The wedding was perfect, Amy was perfect and everything around was perfect. So was our honeymoon. We went to Bahamas for a week and just took it easy. Amy also brought her camera so we had a lot of nice pictures from there. We had a big picture of her and me in our living room, it was beautiful and I couldn’t get enough of her. My love for her grew stronger for every day that passed. But something had changed; she was a little grumpier and had mood swings like all the time, but she wasn’t mean or something like that. It didn’t make me love her less, but I started to wonder what was wrong. She worked a lot and spent most of the time in the studio, a lot of bands had hired her as their photographer and she just couldn’t say no. She was really stressed, even if Sandra helped her a lot. They were together nearly more then she and I were. But that didn’t bother me too much, she had work to do and so did I. I was in the studio a lot and worked with the guys, and when I weren’t I spent some time with Rocky and Damon, and then on the evenings I got some time with my wife.

She was running around as usually in the house, stressed about something. And this time, I was going to ask her if she needed some help, since I hadn’t anything to do.

“Amy, sweetheart, why are you running around in the house?” I asked her.

“You are not going to believe me when I say it.” She said.

“Please say it, you are getting me curious.” I said and we walked to the living room.

“Okay, please don’t run away from me now Brain, because I will need all the help I can get from you, we haven’t talked about this at all, but I think that we are ready.” She said and I had no idea of what she was talking about.

“Go on.” I said.

“Brian, I am pregnant, we are going to have a baby.”

I froze. She was what? We were going to have what? Was I going to be a father? Wait what?

“Brian, please say something.” She said and looked worried.

“I don’t know what to say.” I told her.

“Are you happy? Mad? Angry? Upset?” She asked.

“I am happy, Amy, this is great! We are going to start a family, we’re having a baby.” I said and gave her a hug and kissed her. She showed me the pregnancy test and she was defiantly pregnant. It said that she was pregnant in week twelve or something. I didn’t really get that but we were going on an ultrasound this week and I was really excited about that.

“We have to call everyone; we have to tell the world that we are going to have a baby.” I told her.

“Can we wait with that until after the ultrasound?” She asked.

“But I want to tell everyone now.” I said, “But okay, when are the ultrasound?”

“It’s in two days.” She said, “So in two days we are going to see our baby.”

“I can’t wait.”

Two days later…
“Amy come on now, I want to see our baby.” I told her. I hadn’t slept well since I found out about the baby. I was so excited, and it was a long time until she or he was coming. But it didn’t matter. I was going to take care of Amy, and I would do anything for her. Sure I did it before to, but now she was going to carry our baby for nine months, she was going to need a lot of help with that.

“I’m coming.” She said and was walking down the stairs.

“Do you need some help?” I asked her.

“No it’s fine. I won’t need help until the last months.” She said.

“I am going to help you anyway.” I told her.

“Well, you can help me get to the ultrasound in time.” She told me and gave me a kiss.

“Of course ma’am, let’s go to the car.” I said and we drove to the hospital.

We waited for at least half an hour, and I was getting really restless about the waiting. I just wanted to see our little baby, was it so hard to understand?

“Mr. and Mrs. Haner.” The receptionist called.

“It’s show time.” I said and took Amy’s hand as we walked in to the examination room.

“Hello Mrs. and Mr. Haner, I am Dr. Carlson, Sara Carlson.” The midwife said, “I am going to be your midwife your whole pregnancy.”

“Hello, I am Amy and this is my husband Brian.” Amy said and shook Sara’s hand. And I did the same.

“So, when did you found out about the pregnancy?” She asked us while she stared the ultrasound.

“Just a few days ago, but I told Brian two days ago.” Amy said.

“Why didn’t you tell me directly when you found out about it?” I asked her.

“I wasn’t sure then, I told you the second after I did the test.” She said and took my hand.

“So you can lay down here and then we can start.” Sara said and Amy lay down.

Finally we got to see our baby, and she or he was beautiful. It wasn’t big, but it was there.

“The baby is so beautiful.” Amy said and started to cry.

“Don’t cry Amy, I will start to cry then.”

“How can’t I cry Brian? We are going to have a baby.”

“If you want to know the baby’s sex, you can come back in a couple of weeks and I will tell you.” Sara said, “You are in week twelve now and it’s easiest to see the sex in about week twenty.”

“I want to know it, how about you?” Amy asked me.

“Yeah sure, it doesn’t matter really.” I answered her, “But it would be fun to know what the little baby is for sex.”

The ultrasound went great and we got some pictures of our little baby. It felt unreal and I was so happy, I had the same feeling as the day we got married. Witch was just two weeks ago. I couldn’t really believe that we were going to have a baby, our little baby. Half me and half Amy.

“Amy, is it okay that I call the guys and ask them to come over?” I asked Amy.

“Yeah sure, but please no drinking, I will have to stop that and the smoking.” She told me.

“I will help you, because I will stop to.” I told her.

“Do you mean that?” She asked me.
“Yes of course, I have thought about stopping for a while anyway.” I said.

I called the guys when we drove home and told them that we got a big surprise. They would come, including Val and Carly. Carly and Zacky had moved together, it was love at first sight. And it was fun that he had found someone and that Amy had an old friend that she could hang out with.

We came home and went inside. Amy played with the dogs for a while and told them about the little baby that was coming in a couple of months.

“Amy, the guys are here now.” I said to Amy, she was on the beach, “Please come in to the living room.”

This was it; we were going to tell the guys about Amy’s pregnancy. I was really nervous about it; I didn’t know what they were going to say. We would have to do fewer tours and I would have to spend more time with Amy and the baby. But hopefully they would understand and be happy for us.

“I am here now.” Amy said and the dogs walked next to her, on each side. I think they knew what’s happened with her and they were going to guard her through it all.

We walked together to the living room where the guys sat. It was Matt, Val, Zacky, Carly, Jimmy and Johnny.

“So why are we all here?” Matt asked us.

“Well, we have something to tell you.” I told them.

“Spit it out already.” Val said, you could see on her that she knew what was going on.

“Okay, here it is, Amy is pregnant.” I said, “We are going to have a baby.”

“I knew it!” Val said and jumped out from the couch and hugged Amy and congratulated us. The guys did the same, they were really happy for us and they started to argue about who was going to be the godparent to our little baby.

“So in which week are you?” Carly asked Amy.

“I’m in week twelve now, so it is a while left until the baby comes.” She told Carly.

“Oh I can’t wait. Do you know what sex it is yet?” Val asked us.

“Not yet, but we are going to check that in a couple of weeks. I hope that it is a boy.” I told her.

“I hope it is a girl, but it doesn’t matter really.” Amy said.

We sat there and talked and planned for a while. We tried do decide what room we were going to have as the baby’s room. And after many buts we chose the door next to ours. It would be easier. And now we just had to wait…

Amy’s POV
Pregnancy week 20…
We were finally in week 20 and were going to look up the baby’s sex. It didn’t matter what he or she was, I just wanted to meet our baby. It was just 20 weeks left. It means that we had gone the half way through it. And Brian was an angel; he helped me with everything, even when I could do it by my own. He wanted to show that he would be there for me in every situation. But the pregnancy hadn’t been so tough, yet. It was some nausea in the morning but nothing more than that.

“Are you ready sweetheart?” Brian asked me.

“Yes I am, I just have to find my Ray Ban’s. I laid them on the bench in the hall but they aren’t there.” I told him.

“Are you sure? Have you checked everywhere?” He asked me.

“Yes, and they aren’t there now.”

Damon came jumping to me, he was happy about something. And then I saw them. He had found my Ray Ban’s and was carrying them in his mouth.

“I have found them.” I yelled to Brian and took my sunglasses from Damon’s mouth, “Who is a good boy? Yes you are a good boy Damon.”

Brian came downstairs and picked me up and carried me to the car. If you looked closely on my belly you could see that I was pregnant. But thankfully I had a job where I could stay a long time on under the pregnancy. And it felt great being pregnant, the little girl or boy in my belly just played around. I didn’t felt it before, but it was clear now. And it felt unreal and incredible. The love for our little baby was extreme, and the baby wasn’t born yet.

“So are you ready to find out if it is a prince or a princess?” Brian asked me.

“Are you kidding me? I have waited for this day for about eight weeks now.” I said to him.

“Yeah me to, I can’t wait either.”

We drove in silence and where at the hospital in a couple of minutes. So we went inside and waited for our midwife.

“Mr. and Mrs. Haner, you can come in.” Sara told us, “Are you ready to see the sex on the baby?”

“Oh yes we are.” I told here.

“Then come here and lay down so we can start the ultrasound.”

I lay down on the cold bed and Sara stated the ultrasound. 

“So let’s see if your little baby is a girl or a boy.” She said and looked closely on the screen, “It is a girl.” 

I started to cry, I’ve always wanted a little princess, and now I was going to get one. I was going to have a baby in just twenty weeks, more or less. And it was going to be mine and Brian’s baby.

“Baby, don’t cry.” Brian said and kissed me on the forehead.

“I have to cry, we are going to have a little princess.” I said to him.

“Yeah I know, I can’t believe that either.” He said to me and I could see that his eyes were starting to get watery.

We walked out from the hospital and started to drive home, I called my mother and told her about the pregnancy. She was really glad about that and was going to come and visit me, Brian and our little baby when she was born. Dad was also really happy for me, he was dying for a grandchildren. Brian had told his parents as well and they were also really happy for us. Everyone was and that was chocking me. I thought that someone would say something negative about everything.

When we came home we saw that it was a lot of cars outside, and I had no idea who it was that wanted to say hello. But when we went inside we saw that it was the guys. They were so curious about the sex of our baby and wanted to know now.

“Hey guys, what are you doing here?” Brian asked them.

“We want to know if it is a little girl or boy in there.” Jimmy said and patted my belly.

“It is a little princess.” I told him.

“Oh a little princess, she will have to be in our ninja gang when she is born.” He told me.

“Of course Jimmy, she is already a Stallion Duck Chasing Ninja.” I said.

“Ha-ha, you know that she is going to get a lot of duck things, right?” Matt said to me.

“That wouldn’t surprise me.” I said and hit Jimmy playfully on the arm.

“What? It is nothing wrong with ducks!” He said.

We planned more about what we were going to do with the princess room and everyone wanted to help. It was soon time to start with everything, and I, Val and Carly was going to do some shopping in the week. I was going to buy a stroller, crib and some clothes to my little princess. The boys were going to paint the room. Not to girly of course, I wanted it beige and white. Then I was going to have some pink details, like a pink bedspread and things like that. I was really happy about this, and I only got happier and happier.

“It has been fun to have you guys here, but I am afraid that you will have to go soon. Sandra is coming here in half an hour and then an artist is coming for a photo shoot.” I told them.

“Aw already?” Jimmy said, “I don’t want to go.”

“Well you can stay if you want but I’m not going to be around for a while.” I said.

“We will stay and talk to Brian, you can go and do your photo session and then come back.” Zacky said.

“Well alright, if anyone wants something I’m in the studio.” I said and went to the studio. I started to fix everything that I needed on the photo shoot. I charged my batteries to the camera and emptied my memory cards. Then I was ready and the doorbell rang.

I hurried down and saw that Brian already had opened the door, and there stood Sandra.

“Hey Sandy, how are you?” I asked her.

“I’m fine, thanks. How are you?”

“I’m extremely fine.” I told her.

“Has anything special happened?” She asked curious.

“Yes, in matter of fact it has. I am pregnant.” I told her.

“Oh congratulations Amy, that’s really fun to hear.” She said and gave me a hug.

“Well come here, I want you to meet somebody.” I told her.

We walked to the living room where everyone sat.

“Hey guys, this is Sandra, the girl who photographed mine and Brian’s wedding. She is my assistant and friend.” I said and everyone introduced themselves to her.

After the little introduction we went to the studio and she showed me the pictures from the wedding and I went speechless. They were perfect and I was really proud of Sandra who did an extremely good job.

“So, who are we photographing today?” She asked me.

“Kesha.” I said fast.

She just looked at me in chock and I didn’t know what to say to her.

“Is something wrong Sandra?” I asked her.

“No nothing.” She said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, it’s just the little crush I have on her.” She told me.

“Don’t worry, I was in love with Brian long before I met him, and now we are married and are going to have a baby.” I said to her.

“Oh okay, let’s do this then.”

Brian’s POV
Amy was finally upstairs and I could talk with the guys regarding the baby shower. We had a lot to plan and I wanted it to be perfect, it was pretty long time left until it was time for it, but I wanted it to be as perfect as it could be, and that is why I started to plan it now.

“So how would you like the baby shower to be?” Val asked me.

“I want it to be pink; ha-ha, and then I want to invite her parents and Alex.” I told her.

“Do you really think that she wants it to be pink? And when do you think we should have it?”

“I don’t know, and she is estimated the 12th December, the day we got engaged, and I really hope that our little princess will come out then.” I said.

“So what about 1th December then?” Val asked me, “Or is it too late?”

“Well, it is just twelve days before our little baby is estimated. So maybe an earlier date?”

“What do you think about 12th November? Then it is a month before she is going to have the baby?”
“It sounds better.”

So the date was settled. And now it was late July and the baby wouldn’t come in at least 5/4½ months. We would have to fix everything so we wouldn’t have to stress when Amy is heavily pregnant. She and the girls were going to buy the basic things we needed and then she was going to have the rest on the baby shower. I was going to ensure that she would get everything she needed, or the things we needed.

The time flew past in hurrying speed and Amy was already in week 30, which meant that it was time for the baby shower. I had hired a local close to our house. I gave Val and Carly the task of getting a cake and other things to eat. And it would be completely alcoholic free, I didn’t want anyone to be drunk and ruin her special day. Then I had talked to Amy’s parents who were in Long beach already, Matt and Johnny had picked them up earlier and fixed a hotel room to them and Alex. They were already at the local and waited for us to come.

“Amy, I have booked tickets so we can see a movie.” I said to her and hoped that she would go along with it.

“Ah okay, what are we going to see?” She asked me.

“It is a surprise, and if you want to get dresses and so you’ll have to do that now.” I said to her and gave her a kiss.

“I’ll hurry.” She said and went upstairs.

I called Sandra and asked her if she wanted to photograph the baby shower, and she said yes. So I gave her the address and she would go there directly. A couple of minutes later Amy came down. She had a white lace dress, the pregnancy made her glow and she looked so happy. She was so beautiful that any girl could be. And my love for her, and our baby was infinity.

“You look stunning.” I told her.

“Aw thank you, I am trying my best. It isn’t easy when our little princess is doing gymnastic in there all the night.” She said and I kissed her, “You don’t look so bad yourself.”

“Thank you sweetheart, but I am not worth looking at when you are next to me.” I said to her. I had a white v-neck t-shirt and a blazer over that. Then I had dark blue jeans and a pair of converse. My hair was spiky and I had some make-up. Not too much, but some.

“Are you ready to leave, Amy?” I asked her.

“Yes I am ready, let’s go.” She said.

It took about two minutes by car and when we jumped out of the car Amy began to suspect something.

“What is this?” She asked me.

“It’s just a little stop on the way, let’s go inside.” I said and was afraid that she would know what this was.

We walked inside and when we opened the door everyone yelled “SURPRISE!” Amy was really chocked but she looked happy. Inside it was pink details everywhere and a big diaper cake next to some real cakes. Then it was cupcakes and other sweet things around the cakes. The best thing for Amy was that her pregnancy craving was sweet things so she could eat anything to ease the cravings.

“So what do you think?” I asked her.

“Brian, you didn’t have to.” She said and hugged me, and that wasn’t easy because her belly was extremely big right now.

“Of course I had to; we have planned this for ten weeks.”

“You guys are too sweet to be true.” She said to us, “I love you all.”

She walked around and mingled. She talked to everyone and you could see how happy she was. It infected me too and I couldn’t stop smile when I saw her. All the happiness that she gave everyone was stunning. I didn’t know how she could be so happy, always when you look at movies they are really grumpy and mean. But Amy is happy.
We ate some cake and we got a lot of gifts to our baby. We got clothes and accessories, and a lot of them. Jimmy had bought a lot of duck things. Our princess got a body with ducks on, a big duck cuddly toy and then even a thing you put over the crib with ducks on. Ha-ha, but it was thoughtful and he really cared about our princess, and she wasn’t even born. But we had a good day and it turned out perfect. Amy was so glad that her parents and brother came to visit, and they would stay till the baby came, that means about ten weeks or so. She would have a lot of moral support from her friends and family the last weeks of her pregnancy and that meant a lot to her. She cried a thousand of times under the baby shower, but gladly it was just tears of joy. This was going to be great, and I couldn’t wait until our little princess was born.

Ten weeks later…
“Brian! The baby is coming.” I heard Amy scream. I was in bed sleeping; it was morning, 12th December, the day our princess was estimated.

“Are you kidding me?” I asked and jumped out of bed.

“Does it look like I am kidding?” She asked me.

“Sorry, no it is not looking like you are kidding.” I said and ran around in the room trying to find clothes to put on.

“We have to go now Brian, it is time, and she is coming now!” Amy said and took the bag of the things we would need in the hospital, “You will have to call everyone, but do it in the car, and we’ll have to go now.”
I ran to the car and putted everything we would need for the ride in there. Amy walked down and in to the car and we hurried to the hospital.

“Hey Kirah, I just wanted to say that the baby is coming. We are on our way to the hospital now.” I told Amy’s mother.

They would come to the hospital as well. Then I called Jimmy.

“Hey Brian, what’s up?” He asked me.

“The baby is coming, and we are on the way to the hospital now.” I said, “Can you tell the other guys?”

“Of course, I will see you soon.”

It didn’t take long to get to the hospital. We hurried in and I talked to the girl in the reception and told her that my wife was in labor. She called our midwife and then it went really fast. I didn’t understand anything, besides that our daughter would come soon. Amy and I got a room and they said that she already was eight centimeters open. That meant that the baby was coming now. Sara said to Amy to push and it just took a few pushes and then our little princess was in the world. Or at least it felt like fast, it took about an hour or so from the time we came to the hospital until our daughter was born.

“Oh my God, she is so beautiful.” Amy said and held our daughter in her arms.

I placed myself next to her and gave Amy a kiss, and then I gave our daughter a kiss.

“She looks just like you, but she has my eyes.” I told her.

“She is perfect.”

“What shall we call her?”
“

Ashley, I want her name to be Ashley.” She said.

“Ashley Haner, welcome to the world.”
