A Surprise For Ava
Isha
“Is everything ready for tomorrow?” I asked James, Savvy, Aaron, Rage, Savage, and Dawson. We were all at a café. Ava had a meeting with her agent to talk to her about my publishing firm and the percentages I laid out in our terms. I was really generous with the terms for Ava, since she’s my best friend. And Dawson made sure the guys had work today.
“Yes. You’re taking Ava shopping today? Here’s my card, whatever she wants. Also, I made appointments for you four to get massages, facials, pedicures, and manicures,” Aaron said, handing me his credit card.
“Aaron, you don’t have to do this. This was all my idea. I don’t want you to have to pay for your own wedding,” I said.
“But I want to. I’m picking up her parents tonight. They know it’s a surprise, so I have their room ready at Emerald Towers
along with my parents. I have money, Isha,” he said, chuckling.
I smiled and nodded. I looked at Dawson.
“And you, my love, you’re okay with all this?”
“I think it’s perfect, and I love that we are doing this now. My parents will be there, your mom and Nana and their
husbands. Everything will be wonderful, and I think the idea you had for the guys is perfect.”
“Okay. Savvy?”
“Mac and Jack have all the food prepared and ready to be barbecued.”
“And we have the guys tonight with Dawson and Aaron for their Stag party. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure none of the club
girls and strippers get near them,” Savage said.
“I’m not worried. I trust my guys, and I know Ava trusts Aaron. Just as long as there is no touching, I’m okay with the
show,” I said.
“Me too, but if I hear about anyone getting near either of you, your balls will be mine,” James said to Savage and Rage.
“They’re already yours, baby boy, but no worries, we won’t allow anyone to touch any of us. They’re mostly there for the party that will be going on. The guys won’t even know it’s for them and Dawson, they’ll just think it’s for Aaron’s stag party
tonight. Also, Isha, Rapture, Moose, Target and Vile will have everything set up and ready when you guys are done with the commitment ceremony. Vile even has some special ink just for you. It’s metal-free and vegan,” Rage said.
“Good, thank you so much,” I said, clapping. “I’m so excited, but make sure they don’t drink too much. I don’t need them
to be hungover at noon. Savvy, can you have Jack and Mac distract them when Dawson brings them to your place? That
will give Dawson time to make it to the altar with me and Aaron.”
“Yes, no problem. I love that you are flipping the script and having them walk down the aisle. So, how do you think Ava is
going to take the news that she’s getting married tomorrow? I can’t wait to see her reaction when we walk into the bridal
shop.”
“I’ll explain it to her. She wanted a double wedding so badly. We both did, but this is the only way. I think she’ll be okay
with it,” I said.
“Well, you better get going, she just texted me and she’s on her way here,” Aaron said.
I kissed Dawson goodbye and told him I’d see him tomorrow at noon. He said he’ll miss me. It took a lot of convincing for me to get him to agree to let me spend the night at Savvy’s tonight. It’ll be our first night away from each other in a long time. The guys are probably going to sh*t a brick, but Dawson can handle them. I hope.

A Surprise For Ava
Savvy, James and I stepped out of the café. I could see Ava down the block. She looked so cute at four months along. Her belly popped a lot more with her being so skinny. She was in a pair of blue leggings and a button-down long-sleeved, light yellow top with her hair piled high on her head. She waved when she saw us. I patted my three-month-belly, which looked almost as big as hers, and I frowned. I had an appointment on Monday. I was worried I was gaining weight too
fast.
“Hey, what are you guys doing here? I’m on my way to meet Aaron. Isha, my agent, says everything looks great. Thank you for your generosity with this first book. I’m almost done with it.”
“You deserve it babe. Anyway, James, Savvy and I are kidnapping you. We’re going shopping, and then we have appointments in three hours for a spa day.”
“What’s the occasion?”
“You’re getting married, we’re having our double wedding tomorrow? Well, I’m having my commitment ceremony with the
guys, and you’re marrying Aaron.”
“Wait, what?” she asked, clearly confused.
“I can’t do a big double wedding with you. I’ll explain everything at the bridal shop.”
“O-okay.”
“Don’t worry girl, we’re curious too. She said she had something to share with all of us,” James said.
We got into James’ new SUV that Rage and Savage gifted him for his birthday and he drove us to Star Bridal. I noticed
Moose and Tracker behind us on their bikes and I chuckled.
I had made the appointment for Ava, so when we walked in she was instantly pampered. We were given sparkling grape juice while James and Savvy were given champagne. A cheese and cracker platter was also brought out for James, Savvy and Me while we waited for Ava to try on wedding dresses. I had given the shop her size, and they had dresses ready for her to try on. We were the only ones in the shop, and we could hear each other easily. I told them about the Beck’s Legacy and they were all flabbergasted. I also told the shop owner if any of this got out legal measures would be taken. I
was assured of their discretion.
“Wow, a matriarch of a family. That’s insane,” Savvy said. “Do you feel a lot of pressure?”
“Not right now? I think after we get married and start learning from Aria I might. I’ve started taking some online finance
classes.”
“That’s a good idea,” James said.
Ava came out in her first dress, and we all shook our heads. It clung to her body and was really tight across the breasts. We also rejected the next four dresses.
“Isn’t there a princess-style one? No train, something strapless but not too tight across her belly?” I asked the attendant. She thought for a moment and then nodded.
Ten minutes later Ava came out in a stunning strapless white princess wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline. There was silver beading on the bodice in an intricate design that flowed into the top of the skirt of the dress. You could even
see her baby bump.
“Do you have one of those crystal clip things to go around a bun?” Savvy asked the shopgirl.
She was handed one, and she put it around Ava’s bun. It had an attached yeil. We all stood up and surrounded her.
“How do you feel?” James asked her.
I looked at her face, she had tears in her eyes and she looked radiant.

A Surprise For Ava
I feel so pretty.”
“Oh, it’s gorgeous, you look stunning,” I said.
“Erica and Louise will be doing your and Isha’s makeup and hair tomorrow. They’re really good at stuff like that because of Erica’s competitions,” Savvy said. We all nodded.
“What is the plan for tomorrow? I feel so lost,” Ava said.
“Sorry, I know I planned this without your input. But I knew you really wanted to have a double wedding and this was the
closest I could get to it.”
“No, I love this. I just want to know what the plans are.”
*Jack and Mac are making all the food. The ceremony and reception are at my homestead. We’re all staying there tonight.
The club is taking care of all the decorations, chairs, and music. The three Old Ladies of the LOC are making a cake. One of them is a baker. Isha asked for lemon filling, your favorite and strawberry filling, her favorite, between white cakes.”
“And I’m guessing Aaron knows about all this?”
“Yes, I came up with the plan when we all went shopping for the engagement party. I called him right away.”
“That sneaky guy, he never let anything on. Thank you Isha. I am so happy we are doing this. What are you wearing?
You already have your dress?”
“Yes. It’s an off-the-shoulder white satin dress with a sweetheart neckline and pearls all over the bodice. The skirt flares
out just above my baby belly. The only difference is, I won’t be walking down the aisle after you, I’ll already be waiting at the altar. The guys are walking after you.”
“Oh, that’s so cute. Man, I wish my parents could be here.”
“Well, Aaron’s picking them up later today at the airport, surprise,” I said, with jazz hands and a smile.
She squealed. We paid for the dress and put it in the back of the SUV along with matching shoes, and a bouquet she really liked. I am glad she was so happy with this. I wanted us to have a double wedding as much as she did, but since we couldn’t, this was the next best thing. Plus, I liked the idea of having the commitment ceremony with the guys before
Dawson’s and my wedding. Getting matching tattoo rings was my idea and Dawson loved it.
We ate a little before our spa appointment and chatted about everything. Then we had a wonderful dinner of homemade pizza with Mac, Jack, Willow and Axel. We watched chick flicks, and then we watched The Witcher.
“Henry Cavill is so f*cking hot,” Ava said.
I nodded, he was, but he still had nothing on my four guys.
