Stacey raised her eyebrows slightly, when David made the comment that his mum never embarrassed the twins. "So it's just the boys then? Will have to remember that one." She was not sure if she would ever intentionally embarrass Ebony when she got older, or she hoped not. The banter between Stacey and David was nice, and Stacey enjoyed it very much. When David said that he hadn't expected dinner to be so soon, Stacey nodded, knowing that she had been thinking the exact same thing. "I kind of agree. But if she keeps it warm, it might get ruined. So I guess we are eating soon then." Stacey didn't want her to hold it to keep it warm. If dinner was ready, then she would go with the flow and eat earlier than expected. Stacey nodded, when Cassie said that Stacey could call her whatever she felt comfortable with. "Okay. Thanks Cassie." She then recalled that she hadn't seen her actual mum in a while, and hadn't really called anyone 'mom' for a while. Maybe if she felt that it was right, after they were married, Stacey might call Cassie 'mom' to make up for a lack of having one. When Stacey said that she would go into his room to breastfeed Ebony, David said it was okay, and she followed David to his old room. David opened the door, when they got there, and Stacey smiled as he said that his mum had left his room basically the same. Hearing him say that he expected that his mum still put clean bedclothes on the bed, made her smile all the more. "Well you never know when you might have guests, or your son coming to visit." Stacey nodded, when David said that he would go back into the lounge and wait for her. "Thanks sweetie." She closed her eyes a little, when he kissed her on the cheek, and soon she was left with Ebony to breast feed her. **** 1 hour later **** After dinner was done by them all, David had gone to help his mum with the dishwasher, while Stacey took Ebony back into the lounge, and held her till David and Cassie were finished. Ebony was asleep, and had slept through most of the meal, which Stacey was grateful for. Sometimes she might wake, while they are eating, and Stacey sometimes never got the opportunity to finish her meal, always having to eat it at odd hours which wasn't really that great, for her personally. But what can you do when you have someone who depends on you. Soon enough it was just the three of them, and Cassie had a notepad and pen, ready to take any notes down, and ideas that they might have. Cassie looked over at them, and asked a couple of very obvious questions. And then directed a question at Stacey, which made her nod in acknowledgement. David soon spoke first, stating that they hadn't made any plans at all, not having a moment since Ebony has been born. Cassie then asked where they wanted to start with it all. Stacey thought for a second, then knew what should be brought up. She looked at David, then at Cassie. "Well, I guess firstly the date, and secondly where we should hold the ceremony." Then it hit Stacey that really they hadn't told Cassie about what they had been doing two days ago, after David officially became Ebony's father. If they were planning on having another child, then maybe a wedding in the early stages or just before might be the best idea. She took David's hand, and looked at him. "Maybe we should talk about what we were doing the other day first. You know, after we visited the lawyer?"

After David had made the comment about not expecting dinner to have been so soon Stacey replied saying that she kind of agreed but added that if Cassie kept it warm it might get ruined so she guessed they would be eating soon. David nodded his head and gave her a small smile, “It looks like it, I guess the meat didn’t take as long to cook as she had thought.” There really wasn’t any other explanation as to why dinner was going to be around an hour earlier than initially planned. David remembered that on a Sunday his mom always had dinner ready for four in the evening because she always laid on so much that she figured they could earlier as they would be so full there would be no need to eat anything later on in the evening. After Stacey said she would prefer to go to his room to breastfeed Ebony he had stood up and led the way to his bedroom. He had made the comment that his mom had left his bedroom as it was when he used to live there and that he guessed she still changed the bedclothes. He saw Stacey smile and then she spoke saying that you never know when you might have guests or your son coming to visit. He gave Stacey a warm smile then, “Well yeah I guess that would be why, I mean even after I moved out and got my own place I still stayed from time to time, especially at the weekends.” David had then said that he would go back into the lounge and wait for her, Stacey thanked him and then he had kissed her on the cheek. **** 1 hour later **** After dinner was finished with the twins had gone to their room because a couple of their friends had arrived and soon it was just David, Stacey and his mom and Ebony of course. Soon enough Cassie had a notepad and pen in front of her and started asking some questions with regards to the plans and where they should start with it all. Stacey replied mentioning the date and where to hold the ceremony. Cassie marked that down and then looked up at them both again, “Well before we go into calling places for a free date, what kind of wedding were you going to go for? I mean would you want a church wedding, registry office, or if it’s not too out there, maybe you could go to California and get married on the beach. It would be best to figure out what style of wedding you want first before we go about trying to get available dates for a pastor.” Cassie offered and then waited to see what Stacey would say to those suggestions guessing that David would be letting Stacey decide on most of the arrangements what with it being her special day. Then David felt Stacey take his hand and spoke saying that maybe they should tell his mom about what they were talking about the other day after the visit with the lawyer. David gave Stacey a warm smile and nodded his head, “Yeah I guess that might be an idea.” He looked over at his mom who was now looking very intrigued and she raised her eyebrows at him before asking, “So what is it you have to tell me then?” David looked from Stacey back to his mom and then looked at Ebony and then back to his mom again with a huge smile on his face, “Well it would seem that Stacey is already feeling rather broody again and she brought up the idea of having a baby with me. I did voice my concerns over her haemorrhage and we spoke to the doctor about it who said that we could try in maybe a month or two months time, so maybe it would be good to get an earlier date as opposed to a later date, don’t you think Stacey?” David finished turning to look at Stacey as he mentioned her name waiting to see what she would say. However before Stacey got a chance to say anything his mom Cassie was over it like a rash. “Oh, oh that’s great, if you feel ready for it then I say go for it, I can’t wait to have another grandchild.” Cassie said with a warm smile as she then stood up and wrapped her arms gently around Stacey and gave her a hug and then moved to David and did the same thing before sitting back down opposite them again waiting to see what Stacey was going to say to some of her suggestions toward the wedding plans.

Stacey had started off with saying that they should look at a date, and where to hold the ceremony. She saw Cassie write that down, and then she added that before seeing what places had dates free, that they should look at what sort of wedding they were going to go for. Stacey thought of what Cassie had said and suggested, then looked at David. "I guess I have dreamed of a church wedding. We used to go to church when we were little, or I remember going. If that is alright with you? I think that heading down an aisle towards my future husband is my ideal thing to do." She sighed a little, then kissed David on the lips briefly.
Stacey then took David's hand, and suggested that maybe they should tell his mum what they had been talking about the other day. David agreed, and Cassie asked what they had to tell her. Stacey was kind of happy to tell her as really she would be her mum soon enough, and had a right to know most of what they were up to. She saw that huge smile on David's face, and she couldn't hide her own excitement over it, despite having to wait a month or two to try for another baby. David soon told his mum about it, and then questioned about having the wedding date earlier rather than later. Stacey nodded, but that was all she got out.
Cassie soon got rather excited, but it was to be expected, as it was exciting. Stacey smiled all the more at her, nodding at what she was saying. Then Cassie came over and put her arms around Stacey, who moved her own arms around Cassie, giving her a big hug back. She then gave David a hug, and watched as Cassie made her way back to her chair. "I know that I had that complication with Ebony, but I feel I want to have another. Maybe more than another one, but depends on how the pregnancy goes when it happens. I don't want to push myself, but I do want more kids." Stacey looked at David, "Especially with this one." She was so happy right now, she wanted to just tell everyone.
Stacey then turned to Cassie, "So I guess a date in maybe two or three months might be on the cards then. I don't honestly know how easily it will be to fall pregnant after you have your first. But Doctor Savarna did say that I was looking good and following how a woman is after giving birth. The whole thing of me losing all that blood after, and then having the stitches was his main concern. I was disheartened, but I knew that I had to follow doctor's orders, especially with this one." Stacey nudged David, then giggled a little.

When Cassie had spoken about the kind of wedding Stacey would want offering a couple of suggestions she had to smile at Stacey’s response when she spoke of wanting a church wedding and how she remembered going when she was little and adding that she wanted to walk down the aisle toward her future husband. Stacey had then kissed David briefly which he had closed his eyes to and then opened them when the kiss was over and smiled at her warmly. “I have to agree that I don’t think there would be anything more romantic than to turn round and see my future wife walking toward me.” Cassie put her hand up to her chest as she heard the both of them talk to one another in such a way. She then looked over at the both of them and smiled, “So, church wedding it is then which means the next thing we do is contact the pastor for available dates as there is no point in finding a place to have the reception first to then find out the pastor can’t marry you that day.” Cassie said as she wrote down some notes on what they had discussed and made a mental note to contact the pastor of her own church as he was a nice man.
Stacey had then suggested to David that they tell his mom about the new baby plans. He had agreed and began to tell his mom who got excited about it all which was only to be expected. When Cassie had gone over to Stacey to hug her she soon felt Stacey’s arms around her too which felt nice as they hugged and David could only watch with pride on his face. After Cassie had hugged her son she made her way back to her chair and soon heard Stacey speak mentioning the complication she had had with Ebony but added that she still wanted another and maybe more than another one depending on how the pregnancy went but did want more kids and then she had looked at him saying especially with this one. This made David smile warmly at her, “Well you know I will be happy to have as many as you want honey so long as you’re fit and healthy.” Cassie nodded her head as she listened to what her son said to Stacey.
“Giving birth is the easiest pain to forget, that’s why most women if they’re able always have more than one, it’s when they go into labour again that they start complaining forgetting what it was like.” She laughed a little after saying that knowing full well that’s what she had thought after David was born knowing she wanted more, but then sadly hadn’t fallen pregnant again for years until the twins were conceived. “You may find that when you do fall pregnant again you may have a totally different pregnancy. You don’t always have morning sickness for example, sometimes a woman can have two pregnancies and both be morning sickness free, then sometimes you will have it bad with one and nothing with a second. But you know you can talk to me about babies and pregnancy any time you want Stacey.” Cassie said and gave her a bright smile.
When Stacey spoke again she mentioned about a date for the wedding saying about two or three months from their current date. She nodded her head, “That sounds good; I can contact the pastor tomorrow if you are happy with that and find out what dates he has free. Would prefer a certain day or is that not a problem for you, I know most marriages take place on a Friday or Saturday though.” Cassie said as she took down notes about how far ahead to start looking into dates for the wedding. Stacey had continued to speak some more about not knowing how easily she would fall pregnant again once they started trying. Cassie looked up at her then, “Well again I think it depends mostly on the woman, but I have heard of children who are barely nine months older than their sibling, so immediate pregnancy after giving birth can happen. So I think you can safely book a wedding for even three months from now because even if you fall pregnant right away when you start trying, you still won’t be showing that much.” Cassie offered and then smiled at the both of them glad that Stacey was happy to have her discuss wedding plans with them both.
When Stacey had then said that she knew she had to follow doctors orders especially with David around and then nudged him and giggled all David could do was shake his head slightly and then chuckle. “And you know I only do it because I care about you, so no complaints Mrs. Callaghan to be. Oh now that sounds nice don’t you think?” David said and then chuckled some more. Cassie just watched them both with a warm smile on her face.

Stacey had mentioned the fact that she wanted to have a church wedding, and what she imagined herself doing. After she kissed David, he smiled at her, and agreed with what she said, and added more to it. This comment made her smile all the more at David, and sighed a little. Cassie then confirmed what was chosen, and what they needed to do next. Stacey nodded, "Okay then. Well that might be on the agenda for tomorrow I guess. I am free. Then when the date is confirmed, then we could look around at any places that we might find tonight.
Stacey saw Cassie write down what was discussed, then Stacey had suggested that they tell Cassie what they had been talking about, in regards to having a baby. Once they had done some family bonding, Stacey spoke about the complications she had had with Ebony, and mentioned that she wanted more with David. David smiled at Stacey, and said that he would be happy to have as many as she wanted, as long as she is fit and healthy. Before Stacey could say anything, Cassie commented on it also, and she half laughed at that. "Well, I am all for making sure that I am okay to have more each time, like we did the other day." And then she turned to Cassie, "Well I guess you are right, unless you are like me to passes out for obvious reasons." She hoped that she never got like that after each birth, or the next one might be her last.
Cassie then spoke of when Stacey did fall pregnant, that it maybe different. Hearing what she had to say about it, made Stacey nod a few times. "Thanks for that. I am sure that I will be talking to you about it a bit. And I hope that there is no morning sickness. Had it with Ebony, but not all the way through. I think the biggest thing for me was the moodswings. Not all the time, but when it happened, boy, you wish you weren't on the receiving end." Just thinking about that time with Brendan it was a nightmare.
Stacey then suggested that a date two or three months after today might work best. Cassie acknowledged this, and said that she could contact the pastor tomorrow if they were happy with that, and then asked about days. Stacey looked at David, "That's fine. And um, maybe a Saturday? I think so, as then most people can come, you know?" After Stacey spoke more about not knowing how easy it would be to fall pregnant again, Cassie gave her her opinions on the matter. Stacey nodded, and then looked at David. "Well for us, I don't think we will be trying for another month yet, just following doctor's orders." She had wanted to try pretty much straight away, but after hearing about might happen, Stacey decided to let it go and just try the suggestions till she was okay. "And I feel that I would prefer to look as normal as possible anyway in my wedding dress, if that makes sense."
When Stacey said that she had to follow the doctor's order, especially with David around, David chuckled, and then said that she knew that he only did it because I care about you. Stacey nodded, and then David said that there was to be no complaints Mrs. Callaghan to be, adding that it sounded nice. Stacey gave him a bright smile. "It does. And I can't wait to take your name." She kissed him on the cheek, then turned to Cassie. "So. Maybe we can look at maybe some places around down for a reception, just to give us an idea of where we could go, once we have gotten the date."

{ooc - feel terible this has taken me so long what with it being one of our fave couples, sorry}
When Stacey spoke about contacting the pastor being on the agenda for the following day Cassie nodded her head and looked up from the notes she had been taking, “Well I am free tomorrow too darling, so we could both go together, I can introduce you to the pastor of my local church he’s ever so nice.” Cassie said giving Stacey a warm smile, knowing that if they could get a date sorted with the pastor then the rest should follow into place easy enough. “The sooner you get the date sorted with the pastor the sooner you can get the reception venue sorted I agree.” Cassie added as she then wrote an additional note about contacting the pastor later so that he could expect a visit from her and Stacey the following day.
When Stacey had laughed at what Cassie had said with regards to childbirth being the easiest pain to forget, Cassie had to laugh along too, “Well that’s wise Stacey my dear and hopefully you will not pass out at every birth, the first can sometimes be difficult, just depends on the woman I guess, but at least you know you won’t have to go through your next pregnancy from the beginning alone, you’ll have David and I’ll be there too when you need me for support.” Cassie said giving Stacey another warm smile.
Stacey soon replied to Cassie’s comments about no two pregnancies being the same and she saw Stacey nod her head a few times and then she spoke thanking Cassie and adding that she would probably be talking to her about it a bit and added about not having morning sickness and then mentioned moodswings. “Well I am glad to say I didn’t suffer moodswings, although I was a bit emotional at times and had mad cravings and morning sickness with one pregnancy but not the other.” Cassie gave a small laugh feeling very thankful that she had never suffered moodswings she would have hated that on top of her over emotional state at the time.
When Cassie spoke about days for getting married Stacey mentioned a Saturday and Cassie began to nod her head agreeing that it would be the best day. “I agree most people can be free on a Saturday and then have the Sunday to recuperate from a late night before their work on a Monday.” Stacey had then mentioned about not knowing how easy it would be for her to fall pregnant again and Cassie had given her views on that Stacey replied saying that for her and David they wouldn’t be trying for at least another month under doctor’s orders. “Well a date for around two to three months from now should be fine, even if you did get pregnant pretty much straight away after starting to try you’d be maybe only two months at the most.” When Stacey then added about wanting to look as normal as possible in her wedding dress Cassie again nodded her head but didn’t say anything.
However David decided to say something as he playfully nudged Stacey, “You know you will look radiant and gorgeous however pregnant you may or may not be when we get married.” He then leant in and kissed her on the cheek softly. He knew what Stacey meant but he just felt that he had to let her know that to him she would look beautiful regardless of how pregnant she may be as she walked down the aisle.
When David had then joked around with Stacey calling her Mrs. Callaghan to be he had added that it sounded nice and when Stacey gave him a bright smile he returned it and smiled all the more when she agreed and said she couldn’t wait to take his name. “Well, I can’t wait to call you my wife.” He replied and then Stacey had kissed him on the cheek and he kissed her back again. They really were the epitome of the fairytale romance David thought and he liked it. Stacey soon spoke to Cassie again asking about looking at places for a reception around town once they had a date settled. Cassie nodded her head, “Yes my dear that would be a good idea and you know that I am most willing to come with you whenever you need any help while David is working as long as it’s during the day when the twins are at school.” Cassie said giving Stacey a warm smile.

Stacey nodded at what Cassie said, "That sounds like a plan. Thanks." Cassie then added that the sooner they get the date sorted, the sooner they could get the venue sorted, agreeing with that. Stacey nodded, and was feeling just a little more excited over it all.
Stacey agreed with what Cassie said, about what she said about the birth, and the first being sometimes the most difficult. "Well I hope that this next one, when it happens, is better." And knowing what Cassie said about not going through it alone, made her know that for a fact, looking at David. "I am glad I have this one, and I know that I will be able to ring you too," Stacey said, looking at Cassie, giving her a warm smile.
Cassie then spoke of how she was when she was pregnant, and Stacey nodded. "The cravings I was able to handle, with a vengence. There weren't many moodswings, but when I had them, you had to beware. And morning sickness was only in the first part, which was fine with me." Though now that she thought about it, she wondered if she would have morning sickness bad with the next. She hoped not. "And really, I can be emotional without being pregnant." Stacey giggled a little, knowing that for a fact.
When Cassie spoke of setting a date for two to three months for the wedding, saying that she might only be two months at that stage. Stacey nodded, and had spoken then bout wanting to look normal as possible in her wedding dress. She gave Cassie a bit of a smile, seeing her nod. Then at that moment David decided to speak his views on how she would look regardless of how pregnant she was. Stacey gave him a warm smile, and then he kissed her on the cheek softly, which made her close her eyes slowly for a second, then opened them up. She looked at him, "Thanks David. You just know the right things to say." Though she still didn't want to be showing when she got pregnant, even though she would have been if she had married Brendan.
Stacey then spoke of looking at places around town for the reception, whcih made Cassie agree with her. She nodded enthusiastically about what was said, "That would be so great. It would be a big help. Thanks Cassie." Stacey was going to love having Cassie there to help, but also she was never one to constantly ask for it. Then Stacey thought of something else, "So I guess the next thing after all that would be of cause rings, dresses. Oh and flowers, decorations." Stacey found herself lost in thoughts, biting on her bottom lip, thinking of what else she could think of that was to be neede.
She then looked at David, and giggled. "Sorry, I guess I am kind of getting excited about the whole thing." Stacey looked at Cassie. "Maybe we can look on the internet for some of thes things now? If that is okay? Might find some ideas about what I ... I mean, what we will want."

{ooc - totally disgusted at the length of time to reply, hope I don't get like this again, really sorry - also figured now that Cassie was made if you wanted a Cassie/Stacey thread where they go around town I'd be up for that.}
When Cassie had said that she could introduce Stacey to the pastor of her church she had to smile as Stacey replied saying it sounded like a plan and then thanked Cassie. Cassie just nodded her head and gave Stacey a smile. Cassie thought it was going to be quite some time before she would get involved in any sort of wedding plans thinking that she would be doing it for her twin daughters, so it felt good to be able to help Stacey.
When Cassie had said that quite often the first is always the most difficult Stacey replied saying that she hoped the next one when it happens is better. Cassie gave her a bright smile, “I hope so too darling.” Cassie had then said that she wouldn’t be alone and Stacey had turned to David saying she was glad that she had him and knew she could ring Cassie too. David gave Stacey a warm smile, “And I’m glad I have you.” He then touched the tip of her nose with his fingertip and Cassie nodded her head, “You can definitely ring me.” David then decided to say something else as he put his arm around Stacey and hugged her to him slightly, “Well I hope the next one when it happens is better for you but at the same time I just want you to know that I’ll be there to take the rough with the smooth okay?” He then leant in to kiss her on the cheek.
Stacey then spoke some more about how she was during her pregnancy with regards to cravings, moodswings and morning sickness and Cassie nodded her head as she listened. “Were your cravings normal? I ask because I had to have the weirdest concoctions at times. Like ready salted crisps in a bowl of vanilla ice cream, absurd, it’s not like it’s your average snack to have.” Cassie began to laugh then, but thinking back to when she had that craving she had enjoyed it so very much. Then Stacey said she could be emotional without being pregnant and then giggled. This made Cassie laugh a little, “I don’t think you’re alone there with that Stacey, I think most females can be emotional without being pregnant.”
When Stacey had spoken about wanting to look as normal as possible in her wedding dress David had been his usual self with her saying that to him she would look gorgeous no matter how pregnant she was and then kissed her on the cheek. Stacey thanked him adding that he just knew the right things to say which made David chuckle a little. “Well naturally honey, as your fiancé I would think that is a given.” He chuckled again but loved that she had said that to him.
Cassie had then said that she could go with her if she wanted help while David was working and the twins were at school. Stacey agreed saying it would be great and thanked her. “No problem Stacey darling, just say which day suits you best, I can work around you, although I do look after children part time so it would have to be a day when I didn’t have any children in my care naturally.” Cassie gave Stacey a warm smile then and knew that she was going to love helping Stacey with her wedding plans. Stacey then began to get lost in details of what they would have to find out about which made Cassie smile all the more at her and David began to chuckle a little. “I am sure you will both have a blast with this while I’m working and you don’t have to be sorry honey, it’s our big day we’re talking about you have every right to be excited about it.” He grinned at her, he was sort of excited about it himself, he couldn’t wait to marry Stacey and more importantly he couldn’t wait to see how beautiful she would look as she walked down that aisle toward him.
Stacey then suggested about looking on the internet for some things now to see what she and then she corrected herself saying what they would want. Cassie nodded her head, “Why not, it’s as good a place as any to start.” Cassie got up and got her laptop over from the computer desk at the back of her lounge room and brought it to the coffee table and then moved her seat so that she would be closer to where David and Stacey were sitting. “There you go, it’s all yours, you see what you like and then David and I can throw in our opinions.” Cassie said as she grinned at Stacey.

{ooc - sounds good to me ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) } After David, then Cassie said that they would be there for her and that she could call, it made Stacey feel so happy with her life right now. Having these people in her life was just wonderful. David then added that he hoped that the next one was better for her, but he wanted her to know that he would be there to take the rough with the smooth. Stacey sighed a little, then nodded, smiling warmly at him. David then kissed her on the cheek, which made her close her eyes for a couple of seconds. Stacey looked at David, "Well I am grateful that you are here for it, and I hope you are prepared for what is to come." She giggled a little, recalling all the things that she had gone through with the last one. When Cassie asked about Stacey's craving, if they were normal, she listened to what more Cassie had to say. Hearing what she ate, made Stacey giggle a little. "Well not sure if mine were like that. I had to have popcorn and peanut butter, so I could dip the popcorn into it. Also ice cold Coke. Though still enjoy that, so not so bad. Um, oh and chocolate ice cream, as that is one thing that I was able to stomache. I just couldn't stomache my favourite thing in the whole wide world, but can now. Just love roast pork, or really any sort of roast meat, though that is my favourite." Stacey nodded in agreement, when Cassie said that most females can be emotional without being pregnant. "I second that," making her giggle after that. It was just one of the things that made Stacey who she was. Cassie then said that whatever day suits her for going to look for wedding things, to just let her know. Stacey nodded when Cassie said that it would have to be a day when she didn't have any children in her care. "That's okay Cassie." After Stacey had kind of gotten lost in all the things that she knew that they would have to find out, David commented that he was sure that they would both have a blast with it while he worked. When David said that she had no need to be sorry, it was their big day, and she had every right to be excited. "Okay." Stacey sighed a little, making a mental note to try and involve David as much as possible with it all, despite him not being there for some of the outings that she could see herself going on when he was working. Cassie pretty much agreed about looking on the internet then, which Stacey was happy about. Stacey turned to David, as Cassie got up to get her laptop, "Can you hold Ebony please? I just want to have a quick look on the computer." Stacey slowly moved the sleeping Ebony into David's arms, then turned to Cassie, who had moved her laptop onto the coffee table. She moved forward in her chair, but then decided to just sit on the floor in front of the laptop, but not blocking the view of anyone. Once she was seated on the floor, Stacey turned to Cassie, "Thanks." She got into Google, and then typed in the word 'flowers'. Looking at the sites, she decided to be more specific, and put in 'Laughlin Florists', and found Laughlin Florist & Gifts. When looking at this site, she was able to find some nice images. "Oh, love these," and Stace pointed out which each picture would suit what part of the wedding, and who would have them. "These would be nice for the centre of the tables." ![](http://i52.tinypic.com/19nnkz.jpg) "Bridesmaids. Though not sure who would be perfect for that yet." ![](http://i52.tinypic.com/zojl86.jpg) "Would love these for myself. Just beautiful" ![](http://i56.tinypic.com/k16ewz.jpg) {ooc - images saved from www.fromyouflowers.com/}

When David had said to Stacey that he hoped her next pregnancy was a good one but wanted her to know that he was prepared to take the rough with the smooth he saw that warm smile of Stacey’s that he loved so much and smiled back at her before he kissed her on the cheek. Stacey then said she was glad he would be there for it and hoped he would be prepared for what was to come. David grinned at her and then chuckled as she giggled, “You know I will be, when have you ever seen me lose it or panic that much?” Even when Stacey had haemorrhaged after giving birth to Ebony he had remained calm even though he was naturally devastated that he might lose the one person he had lost his heart to. The truth was David was looking forward to being there from the very beginning with the next baby even though he classed Ebony as his own.
After Cassie had spoken of her unusual cravings she listened as Stacey spoke of her own and Cassie nodded her head in several places until Stacey was finished talking before she said anything. “Well at least your cravings were pretty normal, but sorry about not being able to eat your favourite meat I don’t know how that could have been for you, I was lucky never to go off anything.” She gave Stacey a sympathetic smile and hoped that if and when she got pregnant again she would be able to eat her favourite meat during it. Then Cassie had said that most women can be emotional without being pregnant she had to laugh lightly when Stacey replied saying she seconded that.
Stacey had then asked about having a look on the internet which David’s mom Cassie had agreed to, bringing over her laptop for them to have a look at. Stacey had then asked David if he could hold Ebony so she could have a quick look on the computer. He smiled at her and nodded his head, “Of course I can hold her.” He then held his arms out for Stacey to pass over Ebony who was sleeping. Straight away he looked down at her in his arms and sighed contently as he felt a rush of love all over again, like he did every single time he held her in his arms. He then sat back so that he could get comfortable and let Stacey and his mom carry on with what they wanted to do. He then watched as Stacey got down onto the floor in front of the computer and thanked his mom. Cassie smiled at Stacey, “You’re welcome sweetheart.”
David could see what Stacey was doing from where he was sitting and soon enough she had googled Laughlin Florists and then soon enough she was speaking about loving certain things. David slowly and gently shifted himself a little to learn more forward to look more clearly at what Stacey was looking at herself. As she spoke abou the flowers for the center of the tables David nodded his head, “They do look nice honey.” Cassie then shifted from where she was so she could see properly too, “Oh my, they are lovely.” Stacey then continued to point to another two pictures mentioning about bridesmaids and the flowers she would love for herself. Cassie looked at Stacey, “Well they are all gorgeous Stacey, maybe that’s one of the places we should visit whenever you want to go into town.” David nodded his head again, “They do look lovely honey, and bridesmaids are your choice naturally, whoever you want, although I do know of two young girls who would adore that.” David chuckled a little but also knowing that bridesmaids were up to Stacey and not him. He then had a thought, wondering who he was going to have as a best man, as he had no brothers and he didn’t really have any male friends other than Dom whom he knew through Stacey.
“Stacey, I just had a thought, I don’t really have anybody I can have as a best man, but I sort of need one you know? Do you think, I know it’s probably going to be sort of laughable, but do you think Dominic would do it? I mean I know he’s gay and would probably prefer to be a bridesmaid...” David trailed off and laughed a little but not too loudly as to waken Ebony and then continued, “...well maybe not, but do you think he’d be comfortable with being my best man?”

Hearing David asked her when had she ever seen him lose it or panic that much, Stacey shrugged, shaking her head. "Never actually. Unless Dom was hiding how you were when I lost consciousness that time after having Ebony?" Stacey knew that Dom would have told the truth, but maybe David had held that from her, which she knew she wouldn't blame him for.
Stacey gave Cassie a weak smile, when she said she was sorry about Stacey not being able to eat her favourite meat. She shrugged a little, "I guess I had to deal with it. But at least now I can enjoy it again." She did enjoy the meal that Cassie had put on for them, and just savoured each mouthful of the roast meat they had.
Once Stacey got comfortable on the floor, in front of the laptop, she soon googled for flowers, and found some nice arrangements. Each picture she showed both David and Cassie, they commented positively. Stacey wasn't worried, as she was fine with some critism, most of the time. Cassie soon mentioned about that place she was looking at might be one for them to visit whenever Stacey wanted to go into town. "Might be a good idea, Cassie."
As Stacey looked for the address on the website she was on, David spoke. As he gave the hint of his twin sisters, she smiled, and turned around to face him. "Oh of cause. Who else would I have?" She giggled a little, and that thought did make her wonder. The only other person she could think of was Debbie Harris, but she didn't know how she would feel about being at Stacey's wedding, when Stacey was on the verge of marrying Brendan Harris. "I do have one other person in mind, though will have to contact her to see how she feels about it."
Stacey was about to turn back to the computer, when David then continued to talk, mentioning about not really having anyone to have as best man. She nodded, knowing that, and kind of just looked at him funny, frowning a little, then heard Dom's name. Stacey started to relax and start to grin. She quickly put her hand over her mouth, when David mentioned how he might prefer to be bridesmaid, starting to giggle furiously. Stacey eyed off Ebony, then looked back at David, as he finished off talking. She rested her hands on David's knees, as she was still on the floor, and rested her chin on her hands. Looking up at him, she smiled, "I think it is a wonderful idea, and I can't see him having a problem with it. I think he would be honoured to be part of the wedding party."
Stacey sighed a little, sitting up straighter, but then had a thought. "Would you like to ask him? Or did you want me to? I don't think it really matters to be honest." Once David had given his answer, Stacey turned around, and went back to Google. "So I guess there really isn't anything else I can really look for, until the church and reception are booked." Stacey looked at Cassie. "Would it be okay for me to go and speak to the girls in their room. I would hate to disturb them, but I think what I want to ask they will want to hear."

{ooc - a possible reunion thread between Debbie & Stacey if you want? Stacey needs a good friend other than Dom anyway and Debbie needs a friend lol and it's good to have the odd non relationship thread at times}
When David had asked Stacey about when she had seen him lose it or panic much around her he had been sort of teasing her but Stacey had replied anyway saying never actually unless Dom had hidden how he was when she had lost consciousness. David gave her a weak smile then, “Well I actually didn’t lose it then either, one of his losing it was enough, and I knew I had to keep strong for Dominic but I admit that inside maybe I wasn’t quite so calm.” But then it was a completely different scenario dealing with a hormonal pregnant woman and the thought of the love of your life possibly dying. Thinking about that and looking at Stacey his heart began to beat furiously realising that he would have been completely devastated had he lost her because he was pretty sure that he would never have felt the same way for another woman than he did for Stacey, she was his soul mate, the one he had been waiting for to spend the rest of his life with.
Stacey then got comfortable on the floor to look at the laptop after his mom Cassie had brought it over and began to point out some flowers she would like he and his mom and given Stacey positive comments about them. Cassie had then mentioned that they could visit that shop whenever Stacey wanted to go into town. Stacey agreed to that saying it might be a good idea. Cassie replied with a smile, “That’s settled then, just let me know when you’re free and I’ll make sure I can be free that day also.” David had then hinted about his twin sisters being happy to be bridesmaids but knew that it was ultimately Stacey’s decision and not his but Stacey turned to him with a smile on her face and then replied saying who else would she have and then she giggled. David grinned at her, “Well I think you will have two very happy girls on your hands.” Stacey had then added that there might be someone else in mind but would have to contact her to see how she felt about it. David looked at her raising his eyebrows slightly, “Who do you have in mind if you don’t mind me asking?” He didn’t think it would be anyone at her work so maybe it was an old school friend or something.
David had then mentioned about not really having anyone to have as a best man and had then hinted about Dominic possibly being one but then added in a teasing way that he might have preferred to be Stacey’s bridesmaid and then had laughed quietly as he had said that. Of course this caused Stacey to giggle furiously and David shook his head as he laughed some more still quietly while Ebony remained asleep in his arms. He then felt Stacey rest her hands on his knees and leant her chin on her hands and then looked up at David and smiled and replied saying she thought it was a wonderful idea and how she didn’t think he would have a problem with it and be honoured to be a part of the wedding party. David grinned at Stacey then, “Well I’m glad you think he would be okay with it honey, we do seem to have gotten as close as you are to him so I just felt that he was the obvious choice.” David replied and then he had another thought going through his head but wasn’t sure whether he should mention or not.
He then watched as Stacey sat up a bit straighter and then she spoke asking him if he wanted to ask Dom or did he want her to ask him adding that she didn’t think it really mattered. David thought about it for a second, to be fair he was Stacey’s friend, so maybe it would be better coming from Stacey. “Well maybe you could ask him for me, I mean I know I said that he and I have gotten closer, but that’s been through you, I think it would be nicer for him to hear it from you if you don’t mind asking him that is honey?” David replied and then wondered if he should bring up what he was thinking about moments before. “What are you going to do about someone giving you away honey? I don’t mean to bring up such a sore subject but the thought was in my head and I couldn’t seem to shift it, are you going to go and see your family?” Cassie had remained rather quiet through the conversation between her son and Stacey and didn’t know if she would be talking out of turn but thought it was always something she could put out there for Stacey to think about at least.
“Well Stacey sweetheart you don’t have to agree to this, but it’s just something you can think about, add it to your options so to speak, if you think you’re going to find it difficult getting in touch with your family and you would allow it, I would be honoured to give you away. I know it’s not traditional for a woman to give away a woman, but I have seen many a mother give her daughter away when the daughter’s father was no longer in this world.” Cassie gave Stacey a warm smile then and David couldn’t help but wonder what Stacey would think of that suggestion.
David then watched as Stacey went back to the computer but then spoke saying that there wasn’t really anything else she could look for until the church and reception were booked. Cassie gave Stacey a bright smile, “Well that is something else we can do together when you are ready.” Stacey then asked Cassie if it would be okay to speak to the girls in their room adding that she would hate to disturb them but what she wanted to ask they would want to hear. Cassie gave Stacey yet another bright smile, “That will be fine sweetheart; you’ll find their room up the stairs and the first room on the right.”

{ooc - sounds good but maybe a bit later lol} Stacey listened to what David said, when she wondered if he had lost it that time when she had lost consciousness after giving birth to Ebony. She slowly nodded, listening to what he had to say, and understood what he was saying. Stacey looked at him, and in a quiet voice spoke, "Okay. And I can imagine how Dom might have been." She had thought about it all, after she had rested up after the ordeal of it all. Stacey was very glad that she had recovered from it all, or she didn't know what she would have done. She saw David looking at her, and she placed a gentle hand on his face, giving him a warm smile. Stacey nodded to Cassie, acknowledging what she said about visiting the shop when she was free. Stacey then pulled out a piec of paper out of her bag, which was next to the chair, and began to take down points of what they had to organise. David then mentioned two girls who might want to be bridesmaids. Stacey commented on that little hint of his, and giggled about the prospect of them being in their wedding party. David replied, which made her smile all the more at him, nodding. "I know that for a fact." Stacey had then mentioned about someone else, but would have to contact that person about it. David questioned her over that comment. She bit on her bottom lip, "Well it is actually Brendan's sister, Debbie. I class her as a good friend, despite the previous connection with Brendan. But she is the one who suggested that I see someone, that person being you, and really she is my only friend who happens to be a woman." She wondered how David might be with that. As much as she loved having his sister's as bridesmaids, she was wanting someone more grown up to help her. Stacey replied to David, and smiled at him as he replied more, stating that he was glad that she thought he would be okay with it. Hearing that he and Dom had gotten close, made her sigh a little. Dom was friends with anyone who were friends with her, and she loved him for him, which was the best kind of friendship she would ever hope for, for Ebony especially. Stacey asked David if he wanted to ask Dom, or did he want her to ask him. She nodded as David replied, saying that maybe she should ask him. "I don't mind at all. I will just see when he is free to have a chat, okay?" It felt great to hopefully know that her best friend in the whole wide world might be part of her wedding in a big way. David then asked her what she was going to do about someone giving her away. Stacey bit on her bottom lip, thinking about what David had said. It wasn't something she hadn't thought about, she had, but now it was going to be a real subject now, out in the open. Hearing David ask if she was going to see her family, made her look away, and let out a sigh. She knew she had to go and see them eventually, as long as they were still at the same address, but still was uncertain about it all. Then Cassie gave her a suggestion, which made Stacey turn around slowly to look at her. Stacey was a strong woman, but when it came to confronting her family, it was like a weakness. "Is it okay if I think about it? I, uh, don't know what I want to do there yet." Stacey then went back to continue to write down some more points, ending up with a few to work with initially: Stacey then went back to the computer, commenting that there wasn't really anything else she could look for until the church and reception were booked. She nodded in acknowledgement of what Cassie said, "Well I guess we could go next Friday? That might work well I think. I can do more research on the net for anything else, and then take those notes of mine with us." Stacey liked the sound of that plan. Stacey had then asked if it was okay to go and speak with the girls. Cassie soon pointed out the way to the girls room, and Stacey smiled, "Thanks." She got up, and went up to the girls room, and peered around the corner. "Sorry to interrupt, but can I talk to you both?" She hoped that the girls liked what they heard her ask, but she had no doubt in her mind.

{ooc - wasn't expecting it to be done immediately - jsut a suggestion as it is good to have the odd non couple thread that's all lol}
When Stacey had spoken of bridesmaids and David had hinted at his sisters being interested and Stacey agreeing she had mentioned someone else but would have to ask them. David had then questioned that wondering who she could have been talking about. He saw her bite down on her bottom lip and he instantly began to wonder what Stacey was going to tell him and then she replied saying that it was Brendan’s sister Debbie. David would have had no objections despite whose sister she was because bridesmaids were totally Stacey’s choice and not his but she had then added that it was Debbie who had suggested she see someone which had turned out to be him. How could he have anything bad to say about that? After all if Stacey hadn’t come to see him, he wouldn’t have her in his life now. “Well I think it is a wonderful idea, I mean if it weren’t for Debbie I wouldn’t have you in my life now. Not that I would have objected mind you, but it would be nice to thank her for introducing you to me.” David smiled brightly at Stacey then feeling happy to know that she would have a bridesmaid who would be old enough to be a witness for her.
After David had brought up the topic of whom he could have as a best man asking Stacey if she knew how Dom would feel about it she had said it was a wonderful idea. Stacey had then asked him if he wanted to ask Dom or did he want her to ask him. David didn’t think it would have mattered either way who asked him but he had replied asking Stacey if she would ask him thinking it might be nicer for Dominic to hear it from her. He gave Stacey a warm smile as she replied saying she didn’t mind at all and would see when he was free for a chat. David nodded his head, “That sounds good to me and thanks honey.” Somehow having Stacey’s best friend in the wedding party seemed such a fitting idea what with how good he was with Stacey during the untimely birth in the taxi.
David had then asked what she was going to do about having someone give her away knowing that she wasn’t close to her parents or at least she hadn’t been close to them at any rate. When David mentioned her family Stacey turned away and let out a bit of a sigh. He knew it was a difficult topic for her to talk about, but he somehow couldn’t let it go without asking. Having someone give you away was just as important to the bride as having a best man was to the groom. David’s mom Cassie then spoke up saying if Stacey was going to find it difficult to talk to her parents she would be honoured to give her away. David watched as Stacey turned to his mom and then asked if it was okay could she think about it as she wasn’t sure what to do there yet. Cassie gave her a smile and nodded her head, “Of course it is sweetheart, like I said it was just a suggestion and I wouldn’t be offended if you spoke to your family, it should be a father’s place after all.”
After Stacey made the comment about there not being anything else she could look at on the computer she answered Cassie’s question about going out asking if next Friday would be good. Cassie picked up her diary and flicked to the date in question and saw that there was nothing planned. She scribbled down ‘Go into town with Stacey’ and then looked up at Stacey with a bright smile, “Next Friday will be fine, I’ve already marked it in.” In a way Cassie couldn’t wait to help Stacey with her wedding plans what with having a bit of a wait to do it for her own girls. She just hoped that by the time her girls were going to settle down to married life that she would be there to see it happening.
Stacey had then asked if she could speak to the girls which Cassie had said would be fine and pointed out where their room would be. David and Cassie then watched as Stacey made her way to the girls’ bedroom. They were busy on their games console with their friends when Stacey popped her head round the door and asked if she could talk to them. They both looked at Stacey with huge smiles and bright eyes and said together, “Yes Stacey of course you can talk to us.” Darla then stood up and grabbed Stacey’s hand and gently pulled her to their bed so that she could sit on the edge of it, and then Denise sat on the opposite side of Stacey while their friends remained crossed legged on the floor continuing to play on the games console. Darla and Denise then just sat looking at Stacey with bright eyes waiting in anticipation for what she was going to say to them.

After Stacey had told David who she wanted as bridesmaid, and that Debbie was the one who had suggested that she see him, after the mess she had been in, Stacey listened to what he said about her decision. She gave him a big smile, when he said that he thought it was a wonderful idea. Really though, Stacey had no one who was around her own age that she could call a friend at least, and Debbie was the closest one she had, despite not always keeping in contact with her. Hearing him say that it would be nice to thank her for introducing Stacey to him made her smile all the more, and she sighed a little. “Well, I am all for that.” She couldn’t wait to call Debbie and ask her personally, even if it was over the phone.
Talk of who would give her away came up, along with her parents. Cassie had then spoken up saying that she would be honoured to give her away. Stacey had then asked if she could think about it. Really, just the idea of seeing her parents was going to be a big enough step first. If things didn’t go well, or she decided to not see them, then Cassie was definitely the perfect choice. Cassie agreed to let her think about it, which made Stacey give her a warm smile, nodding. “Thanks Cassie. If it all falls through I know who to ask.” Stacey just loved David’s mum, and knew that she was going to love having her as part of her family.
Stacey, after seeing that there wasn’t much more to do asked Cassie if she was available next Friday. She watched as Cassie looked in her diary, then stopped and wrote something down. Then Cassie told her that next Friday would be fine, which led to Stacey giving her a bright smile. “That’s great. I can’t wait.” Stacey was getting a little more excited now. It might not be for a few months yet, but Stacey was really looking forward to the big day. She sat back a little, not being able to wipe the smile off of her face. She side glanced at David, then Stacey wrapped her arms around one of his own. Looking up at him, she gave him her biggest smile, “I can’t wait to marry you.” Stacey rested her head on his shoulder for a second, just so happy about it all. She glanced at Ebony in his arms, and just starred at her for a few seconds. If this was how it felt to be truly happy, Stacey was glad that she was feeling it right now.
Once Stacey was pointed in the direction of the girls room, she got to the entrance of their room, and asked them if she could talk to them. She watched them both turn, then talk in unison to her. Stacey couldn’t help but giggle a little at that, as it was such a cute thing. Stacey watched as Darla took her hand, and led her to their bed, where she sat down next to Darla. Denise then sat down on the other side of Stacey, and she looked from one girl to the next, just knowing, or hoping that they would like what she was going to ask them.
As she looked from one girl to the next slowly, Stacey asked them. “I have been thinking that I will need some special people in the wedding, when I get married to your brother. I feel that two girls who are around twelve might work as bridesmaids. What do you think?” Stacey looked from Darla to Denise, wondering what they might say.
