Yeah right, as I recall you were the one that woke me up!" She squeaked in protest at his blatant lie. He was insatiable. That she'd been worried he'd lost interest in her the night of the party seemed preposterous now. In fact since they'd gotten engaged, his sex drive seemed to have increased. She shivered at the memories.
Some of the things he'd had her doing...
"Well if you weren't so sexy I wouldn't have needed to, ergo, your fault," he told her firmly, ending the argument with a swift, hard kiss before he pushed away and stood up.
"Now I really need to go, and stop looking at me like than unless you want a repeat performance right now."
She chuckled, closing her eyes, as he left the bedroom in haste. "Coward!" He didn't answer, just chuckled, and shortly afterwards she heard the front door close as he left.
Zette got up slowly, sitting on the edge of the bed for a moment. Immediately as she lifted her head off the pillow, a fresh wave of nausea hit. This was really beginning to annoy her now, not to mention washing her out. The wedding was two weeks away, she couldn't afford to be ill at the moment.

She had dress fittings and things to organise; she just didn't have the time to be sick.
Sighing she pushed herself to her feet, heading for the bathroom. She'd give it a day or two and if she was still feeling ill, she'd go see the doctor. Nothing was going to ruin her big day.

The church was packed. Throngs of people, most of whom Zette didn't recognise as she peeked around the door at the back of the church, filled the pews. When a few turned, eager to get a glimpse of the bride, she ducked back behind the door.
"Ready for this?" a deep voice asked as she turned. Logan Fyre, impossibly tall and handsome, stood waiting to escort her into the church. JJ's lawyer friend, she'd met him a couple of times since she and JJ had got together.
"Yeah ... but a little nervous," she admitted as she moved to stand next to him, sliding her hand onto his arm. He'd offered to give her away since she had no family of her own.
JJ had wanted to track down her mother but she'd told him not to bother. She'd not seen Ariadne for years, not since she was eighteen.
True to form, she'd tried to get in touch when Zette had made it to the big time. There had been a few 'pity me'
stories in the press. They'd stopped after Zette's lawyers had informed her in no uncertain terms that if she continued then Zette would spill the whole story of her abandoning her daughter; a story likely to completely blow the 'ignored mother' line out of the water. Unsurprisingly she hadn't heard a thing from Ariadne since.
She was ready though. More than ready. She loved JJ, she'd known that since the night he proposed and now they were getting married. She moved her hand, the inside of her 71

wrist brushing against her silk-covered stomach for a moment. And she had the best wedding present of all for him.
She was pregnant.
Somewhere along the way fate had intervened and the stomach bug she'd thought she'd had hadn't been an illness at all. No, it had been the best news in the world and confirmed by the voicemail her doctor had left on her phone this morning.
She smiled, holding the precious secret to herself for the moment. As soon as she'd listened to the message, she'd wanted burst out of the suite in the hotel JJ had booked. Well, more taken over really. He'd booked the entire hotel for the reception and for their guests overnight. But she'd held off; it wasn't the sort of news you could just shout through a door, and it was bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony.
"You'll be fine," Logan slid her a sideways glance, breaking into her thoughts and misinterpreting the look on her face, his blue eyes kind. He was arguably one of the most handsome men she'd ever met, bar JJ of course, looking like
