Kam's POV

Over the past month since Reed's demise, so much has happened.

Cris and I found a beautiful new house in San Francisco.

And it even had the fireplace in the bedroom that we wanted. We discovered the walls and floors were soundproof. Of course, we had to find out.

Our wedding came fast. And, this time, I don't feel nervous at all. I love Cris so much, and I am happy to be marrying him again. He means the world to me.

The adoption papers went through. So, Dia and Rocco are officially my kids.

Also, this time we received another settlement amount for the Reed incident at Parkview. After taxes, it was a nice chunk left. Once we find out what our babies are, I am setting up accounts for them.

Jake and Briana became official. I am so happy for them. They are so cute together. I asked Cris if we could add Briana to our wedding party, and he said yes. Briana said yes, also. So, we went to the bridal parlor to get her fitted for a dress. We got one of Cris' security detail to walk with Tam. Neither one of them minded because they both liked each other.

Noeli and Marco also became official. I have a feeling those two will be married soon, just like myself and Cris.

I am now 12 weeks pregnant and can now see my baby bump. Cris always rubs my belly and talks to them. It is just so cute. Sometimes, Día and Rocco do the same thing to imitate Cris.

My morning sickness is finally gone. Boy, that was a battle. But the mood swings are still there. We got into a couple of arguments. I get cranky over some of the dumbest things - food, what we watched on tv, him staring at me, etc. But we always made up later.

I had to get my wedding dress and reception dress adjusted to accommodate my baby bump.

Noeli and Marissa are throwing me a bachelorette party. They said I deprived them the first time. So, I let them throw one. They said Jake came through on a couple of surprises - one for my party and one for the wedding. I can't wait. Cris is even letting us have the party at his club. Drinks will be available, but for me, it is strictly non-alcoholic.

And guess what? Cam and Cocoa are staying at our house. They said that they even had some surprises for us. This weekend is going to be the best weekend ever.

Thursday afternoon - 2 days before the wedding

A few of the ladies, including myself, went out to lunch.

"Kamea, how are you feeling since we saw you in Naples?" Mrs. Alyshea asked.

"I have been feeling fine. But it has been a rollercoaster ride. My ex tried to harm me, but Cris and Jake took care of it. My morning sickness stopped about a week ago. But I still have a few mood swings here and there. And thank you so much, Cocoa, for the wedding cakes. They turned out beautifully."

"You're welcome. Are you nervous about marrying your husband again?"

"The first time, I was because I wondered if I could be a good wife. But, this time, I am not nervous about marrying him. I am just nervous about walking down the aisle with my dad - wondering if I am going to trip or something."

"You will be fine. Your father will make sure to protect you - trust me."

"So, the plan for Friday is everyone will meet up at your house, Kam. The guys will watch the kids. Cris got us a limo to ride into the club. Wait until you see the surprise Jake got. You are going to be blushing from ear to ear. And guess what? Cris was okay with it," Marissa said.

"Saturday, we are getting dressed and leaving from your house too. Cris and the guys are getting dressed at the wedding location. There is a house on the premises, so that is where you can change into your reception dress. He also said that a makeup artist, hairstylist, and photographer are coming to your house on Friday and Saturday."

"Our surprise has arrived, and they are waiting for us at your house."

"Okay. I'll go across the street and get Bri, Jake, and the kids." As I was about to cross the street at the crosswalk, Jake screamed while running towards me, "Kam, look out!!!" Jake grabbed me and pushed me out of the way of the oncoming speeding vehicle.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Shaken. J-Jake, that was the black truck that was following us when I first got my truck." I started crying. That truck could have hit me, potentially causing me to lose the twins.

"Come on, Kam, let's get you home. You are shaking really bad."

Cris' POV

While we were outside on the patio chatting with Mr. Toscano and Mr. Calabro, I noticed Jake and the ladies pulled up on the driveway. Something was definitely wrong because Kamea was shaking and looked scared. So, I ran over to see what had happened.

"Cris, remember that black SUV from when Kam got her truck?"

"Yes, the one that was following us."

"Well, Kam started to cross the street to come over to the park near the restaurant, and that truck almost slammed into her. I was able to reach Kam just in time so she wouldn't get hit. She's shaken up a bit."

"Come here, sweetheart." I just stood there and hugged her.

"Why me, Cris? I could have lost my babies."

"Sweetheart, there are some sick people out there that like to inflict pain on others. We became targets the day we met each other. Let's try to focus on the weekend - me waiting for you to walk down the aisle in your beautiful dress with your father. And, your party on Friday."

"Speaking of that, I can't believe you went along with Jake's surprise."

"I can't believe it too. But Jake said it's something all of the ladies will love."

"What if it is strippers? Are you okay with that?"

"You're mine, so I have nothing to worry about."

"And, you are mine. You are such a charmer."

"Come on, Mr. Toscano and Mr. Calabro would like to see you." We went hand in hand to the patio.

Kam's POV

As we approached the patio, Mr. Toscano, Cam, and Mr. Calabro waved. Cocoa was sitting with Cam, and Mrs. Alyshea was sitting with Mr. Toscano.

"Hi there. Thank you all so much for traveling from Florida for our wedding."

I turned around and saw Cocoa's cousin, Nic, and Uncle Elias. My mouth was wide open. I need a fan to cool off. Cris saw me fanning and laughed.

"Oh my goodness, this weekend just keeps getting better! Thank you all so much for coming!"

"You're welcome, Kamea. My wife and Rey came too. They will be outside shortly."

"Ladies, sit back and relax because the guys are going to cater to you. Dinner is on us," Cris announced to us.

I blew Cris a kiss. "Thanks, handsome."

Dinner was awesome. We had a fantastic time, talking and laughing with the family. Cocoa's Uncle Elias asked me this time who was the most handsome between him, Val, and Dominic. Cam and Nic sighed. But my answer didn't change. Val will always be the hottest dad. Not a bad day at all.

*******************

Just like Marissa and Noeli said, Cris had a makeup artist, hairstylist, and photographer take pictures of us before we left for his club.

After finishing with my hair and makeup, I put on the dress I bought for the party, along with the flat shoes Cris got me from the Gucci store in Naples. Cris was watching me get dressed the whole time.

Cris was licking his lips. "Hmm, you may not make it out of the house wearing that sexy dress." He came over to me and started peppering me with kisses on my neck.

"If you don't stop it, I won't leave the house." I turned around to face Cris and put his arms around my waist and my arms around his neck. "Besides, we can continue this later when I come home, especially now that we have our fireplace. You are going to be here, aren't you?"

"What about that 'the groom can't see the bride before the wedding stuff?'"

I looked into his sexy brown eyes and said, "Tiger, I am not superstitious. Besides, we are already married and have seen each other naked. I love cuddling with my charming husband. So, have that fireplace ready when I come home."

"Have a great time. But, not too great a time. How long before you leave for the party?"

As soon as he said that, Noeli and Marissa knocked on the door.

"Cris, Kam will be back later! Now, let her leave!" Marissa screamed.

"That's my cue, handsome. Later, love."

I made my way downstairs and saw all of the ladies ready to party. "Oh my goodness, Leilani and Lalita too?! Awesome!"

"The limo is outside and ready to take us to the party."

Cris came down and said, "Wait a minute! I want the photographer to take a picture of my bride and her party."

The photographer joined Cris on the steps and took a group picture of us. Of course, I had to blow my boo a kiss. Then he said, "Have a good time, ladies. And, bring my wife back in one piece."

I went to find Jake and see if he would budge and tell me who is coming. So, I started touching his muscles. "Jake buddy, what's this surprise that you have for me?"

He smirked at me and said, "Nice try, but it will stay a secret until we get to your party." Jake and Briana started laughing.

"Aww, your no fun. Are you okay with being the only guy amongst all the women?"

"It's okay, Kam. As long as you have a good time, that's all that matters."

"Thanks, Jake." And, then, we left.

The limo Cris got for us was a beauty.

It was beautiful. It had a mini bar inside. Everyone had a drink except me. It did have water in there, so that is what I drank.

When we arrived at the club, we entered the secret entrance. Cris had it decorated beautifully. There was a big banner that said, "Congratulations, Kamea."

There were purple and blue streamers—plenty of food. And the bar was open for drinks. For me, they had to be non-alcoholic. As soon as we entered, Jake took to the stage Cris had installed in the club.

"Ladies, thank you all for supporting my best friend in the world. She deserves it. Kam, come up on the stage because your surprise is ready for you."

So, I joined Jake on the stage. "Cris told me this was one of your favorite movies that you like to watch. And I was surprised that he went along with this. Ladies, put your hands together - from the cast of 'Magic Mike' - Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, Adam Rodriguez."

When those guys walked on the stage and stood next to me, I almost fainted.

"My husband agreed to let these sexy guys come to my party?" I asked Jake. I was literally drooling at the beefcakes that were standing near me.

"I'm surprised too. But Cris said whatever makes you happy, he would do it." Everybody said, "Aww."

"Pardon me for what I am about to say, but wait until I get home and give him the best sex of his life."

I had everybody in the club blushing. Then, I was asked if I had a favorite cast member.

"Hands down, my favorite is Channing Tatum. His dimples make me melt. And that body. Oh my goodness! No offense to the others."

Jake said, "Is it getting hot in here?"

So, Channing Tatum asked me, "Mrs. Kamea, do you have a favorite song you would like us to dance to?"

"That song after your fight scene with Adam. The song was Calypso. I know this wasn't in the movie, but I love 'Moves Like Jagger' by Maroon 5."

"Kamea, remind me to thank your husband for this party!!" Mrs. Alyshea yelled.

"Trust me. I will! We may be late for our own wedding!"

I got off the stage, and the guys went to work. "I am seriously about to faint from watching these guys dance."

Money was thrown at them like crazy. My mom even threw some. "Oh heck, why not?" I checked what I had in my purse and threw it. These guys are so hot up close.

After they finished, they called me back on stage. This time, Adam Rodriguez said, "We heard that you like to dance."

"Well, I don't like to brag, but I love to dance. Especially to Beyonce songs. I need my girls, though, Noeli and Marissa."

"Diva"

While we were dancing, the guys were flinging money on the stage. And dang, they were throwing $100 bills.

"This one I wanted to do tomorrow at the reception, but kids will be there. And I need Cris to do it with me."

All of a sudden, "Is someone looking for me?"

"Cris, what are you doing here?"

"Making sure my beautiful wife is having a great time."

"Oh, you're going to find out later how good of a time I am having. Now, come up on this stage and bring a chair."

I couldn't wait to do this dance. Cris brought the chair on stage, and I told him to sit facing the audience.

"Ego"

I gave him the lap dance of his life. Cris was blushing like a school kid. So were the guys.

After we finished dancing, I took a break because my back started bothering me. The music was jumping. Everyone was eating, dancing, and enjoying themselves.

"Kamea, your party is fantastic!" Cocoa mentioned. "And your guests are too." Cocoa had to use a napkin as a fan to cool down. It was funny.

"Thank you, Cocoa. My sister and cousin hosted this wonderful party for me. And, I saw you, ladies, over there throwing that money."

"Hey, I came to party. What is the point of having a bachelorette party if you can't throw around a little money?" Mrs. Alyshea said, causing us to laugh.

"I know, right? I threw some that I had in my bag. Those guys are smokin' hot!"

Cris gave me a smirky look. "Remember, handsome, you are mine, and I am yours."

"Darn right. And, it is going to stay that way."

Jake announced that the guys were about to dance again. "Well, that's our cue to head back over to the stage." Cocoa and her sisters went over to the stage.

"I need a break. These babies want mommy to sit down. I need something to eat and drink."

Cris said, "I'll be right back."

Five minutes later, Cris came back with a plate and a drink. "I had the bartender make you a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri."

"Thank you, handsome."

Cris said, "Sweetheart, enjoy the rest of your party." He blew me a kiss and waved to everyone, and left.

Noeli, Marissa, Jake, and Briana came to sit with me for a bit.

"So Kam, how are you enjoying your party and the surprise? We knew about the surprise but couldn't tell you."

"Best surprise ever! I got to meet some of the guys from Magic Mike and Channing Tatum, one of my favorite actors. Gosh, that man is sexy."

Speak of the devil; he came over and sat with me. "We brought you some autographed pictures from everyone. And from what Jake told us, you are expecting twins. So, here is a little something for your babies."

I kissed him on his cheek. "Aww, thank you so much for this." I opened the envelope, and it was a lot of money. It looked like well over $1,000 was in there. He winked at me and said, "You're welcome." I could not stop blushing.

My body started getting tired, so I told Jake, and he said whenever I was ready to go, just let him know. Channing Tatum sat and talked with me for a little bit.

About a half-hour later, I was ready to go. Marissa and Noel gave me a bachelorette party hat as I made my way to the stage.

"Can I have everyone's attention for a minute? I am about to go home because the Fiore twins are telling me to get some rest. Thank you all so much for the support you have shown Cris and me. From my family and friends, my new friends - Leilani and Lalita, and the cast members from 'Magic Mike,' thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I love you all. Enjoy the rest of the party. And see you all tomorrow. " It was a little after 1 am when I left.

Jake and Briana rode back home with me in the limo. "Thanks, Jake, for the wonderful surprise. I loved it."

"It was hard for me to keep it a surprise. But Jake made me. He said I was going to be in trouble if I said anything," Briana said while Jake had a smirk on his face.

We pulled up to the house. Jake told Briana he would be right back.

When we walked into the house, I told Jake, "Thanks again for everything and for being my best friend. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, so I better get some rest."

With that, I watched Jake go back to the limo and lock the door. Then, I made my way upstairs to our bedroom.

I was too tired for physical activity, so I took my dress off and put on my nightclothes. Then, I climbed into bed and cuddled with my charming husband.

Cris saw how tired I was, so he got up and turned off the fireplace. Then, he climbed back into bed, pulled me close, kissed me, and said, "Goodnight, sweetheart."
