The road towards the wedding is a rough one. Lexy constantly changes her mind and her mood is horrible. The men just sit around, laughing and drinking, while the women get dragged from one beauty treatment to the other.

Scorpia is sprawled out on the bed in her hotel room and rubs her throbbing temples. She is exhausted from it all but looks amazing. Everything is waxed, rubbed, masked, plucked, and beautified. She checks out her dark-red nails with the tartan design on them before stroking her own legs to feel how smooth they are.

Logan walks in with Leo on his arm. "Hell, Bonnie. You shouldn't do stuff like that. What if I'd dropped Leo?"

A tired smile pulls at her lips and Logan lays Leo down in the crib. He kisses the little boy, tucking him in with Nessie and watching him till he's sound asleep.

He crawls onto the bed and strokes Scorpia's legs as he moves up. "Hell, Bonnie. Smooth and soft. How far does that go?"

She pulls her dress up and winks at him. His hands accept the invitation right away, investigating her body. He kisses her softly and looks into her dark-brown eyes. There are only a few specks of gold in them and he knows she's exhausted. "How bad was it, Bonnie?"

Scorpia yawns and mumbles she's beat. Logan lies down on his back and she snuggles up to him, resting her head on his chest. He strokes her back and kisses the top of her head. "You feel amazing, Bonnie. And you smell really good too." He sniffs her hair and her face.

She chuckles softly. "I wish we could make use of it but I can't keep my..."

She falls asleep and Logan smiles as he takes in her relaxed features. He can't wait for the wedding to be over because Lexy is driving everyone insane. Even her own kids don't want to be around her.

But he heard a rumor that makes him very curious. Scorpia's outfit might match the kilts. Would she do that for Lexy? The thought alone makes his heart beat faster.

He can't wait for the moment she sees Leo in his kilt. And him. From that moment on all they can do is pray for time to fly. He chuckles softly and pulls the covers over them, dreaming about the wedding.

-----

Their alarm wakes them up early and Scorpia grumbles against Logan's chest. "No... not going... stay..."

Logan cuddles her, "We have to get up if we don't want to join the wedding naked. Because knowing Lexy we're attending no matter what."

Scorpia stretches out, a grumpy expression on her face. "But I want to stay with you."

She pouts and Logan kisses her lips. "I know, Bonnie. Cuddle Leo for a bit and then you should rush over to Lexy's room before she drags you there by your hair."

Scorpia gets up and walks over to the crib. Leo cheers when he sees her and she picks him up. He kisses her. "Mommy amo."

She cuddles him close. "I'll miss you, my little man." She hands him to Logan, walks into the bathroom, showers, and brushes her teeth quickly before dragging her feet back into the room, wearing a bathrobe.

"My sweet men, I'll see you later in the church. I can't wait to see you all dressed up! I love you!" She kisses Logan and Leo and makes her way over to Lexy and Bruno's room barefoot.

Bruno comes rushing out, almost bumping into her. "Good morning, sorellina. I'm out!" He hugs her haphazardly and runs off.

Scorpia opens the door and takes in the scene unfolding before her. Mamma, Cait, Violetta, and Pia are running around, while Enzo sits in the corner, tears streaming down his chubby cheeks. Lexy yells from the bathroom and Cait tries to calm her down.

Scorpia runs over to Enzo and picks him up for a hug. He cries on her shoulder and she rubs his back. He doesn't understand why mommy's mad and why he couldn't go with daddy. Scorpia carries the boy over to her hotel room and knocks on the door.

Logan opens the door half-naked and Scorpia takes her time to look at him. Logan chuckles, "What can I do for you, Bonnie?"

"Can Enzo stay with you guys for a while? He was crying in a corner and I need to put out fires next door."

Bruno walks up to the door and takes Enzo from her. "Come on, Enzo. You can stay with the men for now. We'll figure it out later." Enzo still sniffles and Bruno wishes his sister good luck before closing the door.

Scorpia rushes back to Lexy's room and as soon as the door closes behind her, she whistles on her fingers. Everyone in the room goes quiet and looks at her. Even Lexy steps out of the bathroom to see what's going on.

"Good, I have everyone's attention. Our most important task is to get Lexy ready. Hair, makeup, and dress. We all come after that. Lexy first before everything and everyone. No complaining, no fighting. We've been through it all a thousand times, nothing will go wrong. And if by some odd chance something does go wrong... Lexy marries Bruno today, no matter what. Deal?"

The women all agree with her. Scorpia wipes imaginary sweat from her forehead and looks at Lexy. "Do you still need to shower?"

Lexy nods.

"Okay. Shower. Now. We'll get everything ready."

She pushes Lexy into the bathroom before walking over to the closet where the dress is hanging. She zips the clothing bag open, pulls the dress out, and looks at it with a smile. She gets Lexy's lingerie ready by putting it on the bed and puts the shoes on the floor in front of it.

She opens the door to the room to let the hairdresser and makeup artist in, who get everything ready on the desk with a big mirror on it.

Violetta helps Pia into her dress and braids her hair. The makeup artist applies a little lipgloss to Pia's lips and the girl dances through the room happily. Violetta gets dressed too and sits down in front of the mirror, so they can do her hair and makeup.

Cait and mamma help each other with their clothing and jewelry.

Lexy suddenly emerges from the bathroom, it goes silent and Scorpia guides her over to the desk to get her hair and makeup done. Lexy exchanges a look with Scorpia through the mirror and relaxes in her seat. She thanks her sister-in-law and leaves everything in the professional's hands.

Scorpia gets dressed too and asks Violetta for help with the corset part of her dress. Violetta pulls the laces tight and ties a bow in them. Scorpia puts her shoes on and shows the moms her dress.

Mamma and Cait watch her with tears in their eyes and Pia sing-songs that Scorpia's a 'pinces'. Violetta stares at her look-a-like. "Wow, Scorpia! You look gorgeous!"

Lexy looks over her shoulder, "Indeed. As beautiful as I remember. Like Pia said; a princess. Logan is going to die when he sees you, sis."

Lexy's makeup is done and she takes everybody's breath away. Her ginger hair is in a beautiful updo and there's a veil attached to it. Finally, it's time to put the dress on. It's a mermaid model, leaving her back bare and ending in a short, lace train. The whole dress is covered in beads, shimmering with every move she makes. It fits her like a second skin and as soon as she is wearing her shoes too, everyone applauds.

Scorpia says: " Talk about a princess! Wow, Lexy. You're absolutely stunning!"

Lexy walks over to her and hugs her. "Thank you, Scorpia. For everything but mostly for wearing that dress. Please sit down for your hair and makeup. I'll take all the other girls to the church. You will travel there with a few other people, in a car especially for you."

She winks at Scorpia and walks out with the other women, leaving Pia in the room.

They turn Scorpia's hair into a work of art, a thin braid on top to keep the hair out of her face, letting the rest of it fall down her back in waves. Her makeup makes Scorpia do a second take when she looks into the mirror. She has never looked this beautiful.

There's a knock on the door and the hairdresser opens it. Ciro walks in with Leo on his arm and Scorpia cries the second she sees him. Her little pirate looks so handsome in his kilt and his expression shows he knows it.

Ciro gets a bit misty-eyed too and whispers, "Sorellina, you are ravishing in that dress. Logan won't be able to handle this look, I'm sure. I thought you'd like to see Leo before the ceremony. To make sure you don't walk down the aisle crying."

Scorpia shoots Ciro a grateful look. "Thank you so much, Ciro. You look very handsome in your suit but Leo wins."

She kisses Leo. "I'm not gonna hold him or I won't be able to let him go."

Ciro understands and tells Pia she looks beautiful, making the girl twirl happily.

There's another knock on the door and Ciro says: "I think your dates are here. I'll open the door and join the men with Leo. I'll see you later!"

Ciro opens the door, finding Logan and Enzo on the other side, holding hands. Enzo is wearing his suit with bowtie and Logan is wearing his kilt. They take a step into the room and both stare at Scorpia in awe.

Scorpia looks from Enzo to Logan, her gaze pausing on the tall Scot. She blushes and bites her lip. He looks way too hot this way. Shiny shoes, knee-socks, kilt, sporran, button-up, tie, vest, and jacket.

She can't keep her eyes off him. It's like a spotlight is shining down on him and all the sounds are muted into the background. All she hears is her wildly beating heart.

Logan can't believe his eyes. She's wearing a tartan dress. The top of her breasts is visible, showing off the tattoo of his name perfectly. Her boobs look bigger this way and her waist even slimmer. The wide skirt, that hair, and her perfect makeup finish it. She looks like she stepped out of a historical romance novel. How the hell is he going to keep his hands off her when she looks like that and his mind can only think of one thing?

Suddenly they snap out of their dreamy state thanks to a little boy. Enzo yells: "Soppia! Date!"

Scorpia rips her eyes away from Logan and looks at the beautiful boy with his hair gelled back, wearing a pretty suit with a bowtie. He looks so cute that it's almost too much.

"Enzo, you look so handsome! What a pretty suit. You are the perfect date."

Enzo puts his little hand in hers and she looks up at Logan, who has lifted Pia up, holding her on his arm. The little girl says: "Soppia pinces."

"You can say that again, Pia. But you look like a princess too. Uncle Logan is proud to be your date." His eyes roam over Scorpia's body again until there's another knock on the door.

Bruno's voice sounds from the hall. "Your ride is waiting for you! The other ladies are already at the church."

They walk out of the hotel room and Bruno stares at his sister. "Oh my god, sorellina." A tear rolls down his cheek and Scorpia steps forward to wipe it away. 

She looks at him from head to toe and smiles wide. Scorpia kisses her fingertips, winks, kisses his cheek, and says: "Wait till you see Lexy, fratello. I'll see you in a bit!"

They move towards the waiting limo quickly. And thankfully Enzo talks to Pia because Logan and Scorpia only manage to stare at each other on the ride to the church. They are afraid to touch the other, knowing it will make them lose their last bit of control.

When they arrive at the church, they help their dates out of the car and make their way to the entrance. They go in and there are people there to guide them to the side. The men soon walk in, all looking handsome in their suits. Ciro rushes down the aisle with Leo, making sure he doesn't see Scorpia. Scorpia waves at Dino and Flavio who follow Ciro quickly.

She grabs onto Logan's shoulder when Lachlan and Lucas walk in. She whispers: " Oh hell, Logan. This is too much. You all look way too handsome."

Logan grins, taking in her shiny eyes and red cheeks. He looks at his dad and nephew, who are frozen on the spot, their jaws on the floor. They both mumble something and are completely under Scorpia's spell.

Lucas slowly moves closer and whispers: "Scorpia, ti amo."

She crouches down carefully and hugs the boy. Lucas stares straight into her cleavage and blushes. Logan chuckles softly and notices his nephew staring at Scorpia's left breast. Lachlan comes closer to hug Scorpia too and Lucas tugs at his grandfather's kilt. Lachlan bends down to him and Lucas whispers something in his ear.

Lachlan nods. "Yes, that's uncle Logan's name. She looks beautiful, doesn't she?"

Lucas nods as someone hands him the pillow with the pillows on it.

Scorpia looks at Lucas and her father-in-law, "You look incredibly handsome today. Those kilts look way too good on you guys. My heart skipped a beat when I saw you walk in."

Lachlan and Lucas exchange a happy look and twirl around. A man walks up to them, asking them to line up in the right order because they are almost ready to begin. Lucas stands in front with the rings and Logan and Scorpia move behind him with both their dates on their arm.

Lachlan whispers in Logan's ear from behind, "Your girl is unbelievably beautiful today, son. She wears that dress well."

Logan smiles wide and whispers back: "I know, dad. I'm afraid to touch her."

Lachlan chuckles until a door a few steps away opens, revealing Lexy. She makes her way over to them and Lachlan starts to cry, making Lexy spill some tears too.

Logan stares at his sister, knowing he has never seen her this beautiful before. "Lex, you look amazing. Wow, sis, you're stunning."

Lachlan tries to wipe his tears away but they get replaced by new ones fast. "So proud of you, my girl", he whispers.

Lexy cries even harder now and Scorpia sets Enzo down on his feet to help her. She lifts Lexy's veil and carefully wipes the tears from her sister-in-law's face to keep her makeup in tact. The women look deep into each other's eyes and Lexy relaxes. Scorpia kisses her lips lightly and pulls the veil back down to cover Lexy's face.

She picks Enzo up again and holds him in both arms. Logan is to the right of her, holding Pia on his right arm. He reluctantly rests his left hand on Scorpia's lower back, pulling it back almost immediately because he can literally see the sparks fly.

Lucas starts to walk slowly, a huge grin on his face as the people in the church clap for him. Scorpia with Enzo and Logan with Pia follow him, surprised sounds and 'awws' filling the air when the people seated see them. Scorpia smiles at Logan and he answers it with a wink.

Lucas reaches the end of the aisle and takes the spot next to his dad. Logan and Scorpia move to stand across from Bruno, mamma and Lucas. They kiss their dates loudly before setting the kids down on the floor. Enzo takes Pia's hand in his right away and turns to look at the start of the aisle.

Logan looks down at his Bonnie's cleavage for a second, quickly turning his gaze to his sister.

Lexy slowly strides down the aisle on Lachlan's arm, keeping her head high, Lachlan guiding her with the proudest expression on his face. Mamma and Bruno are both crying and the rest of the friends and family are clapping and cheering.

Lachlan walks Lexy to Bruno and puts her hand in his son-in-law's. "Take good care of her, Bruno. She's my little girl", he says in a soft tone.

Bruno looks at her with eyes full of tears, finding it hard to believe that he marries this beautiful woman today.

There's not a dry eye in the house during the wedding vow exchange. You can hear a pin drop when Bruno's finally allowed to lift up the veil and kiss his bride. He kisses Lexy passionately and everybody cheers.

The happy couple ends up staring into each other's eyes for a long time before they call their kids to them.

Bruno clears his throat before speaking, his voice laced with emotion. "We are not the only two people carrying the same last name from this day forward. We were able to make sure we will all have the same last name. To make it legally clear what we already knew, that we're a family of five. So today these three sweet kids become siblings officially."

Lexy and Bruno hug the kids, tears streaming down their faces as everyone present gets even more emotional. The air is bursting with love and Logan wraps his arms around Scorpia, pressing his lips to her forehead. They stay in that position for a long time, the moment to precious to rush it.

But then Leo's crying fills the air and Logan lowers his forehead to hers with a sigh. He opens his eyes and looks straight into her cleavage. "Hell, Bonnie. That view is way too spectacular from above."

She giggles softly and steps back to take Leo from Ciro. The little boy has been well behaved all this time, sitting on Ciro's lap quietly. But he's done with it all and only wants one thing: his mommy. She tenderly holds the little boy to her chest and Logan breathes out slowly.

Leo rests his face against his mommy's neck, sobbing softly as Scorpia rubs circles on his back. "Shhh, calm down my sweet, Scottish pirate. You've been a really good boy and lasted a long time without mommy. I'm so proud of you." She kisses his hair and rocks him gently.

Now that her cleavage is out of sight, Logan is able to breathe a bit better. This dress she's wearing does something to him and he's not sure how long he will be able to behave. He looks at Lexy and Bruno, surrounded by their beautiful kids, a halo of love around them.

He smiles and looks at the rest of the family. Everyone is emotional and when his eyes land on his girl again, he sees Leo has fallen asleep in her arms, looking at the sleeping little man in his kilt with nothing but tender love in his eyes.

When everyone has calmed down, they make their way outside to take pictures.

The family poses in different combinations, with and without Bruno and Lexy. Both sides of the family separately, all together, Lexy and Bruno with just the kids, Scorpia with her brothers, Ciro and Flavio alone, Dino and Violetta solo, and Lexy and Bruno with their parents.

The photographer invites all the men wearing a kilt to pose for pictures on the steps and they add Scorpia to the mix after a few photos. Lucas wants to take a picture with her alone and the other men step aside. Lucas climbs a few steps and hugs her. Scorpia hugs him back and kisses the ginger hair on top of his head.

Lachlan obviously wants pictures with her alone too. Scorpia's laughter fills the air after he whispered something in her ear, her eyes glimmering with tears.

Leo fell asleep on Logan's arm and he walks over to his dad. "Dad? Could you hold Leo for me?"

Lachlan takes Leo from him and Logan stands behind Scorpia, wrapping his arms around her waist and brushing her hair aside to kiss her neck. "Mmm, Bonnie I don't want to share you anymore."

She turns around to face him and kisses him eagerly. He looks down and whispers: "You are forbidden to wear this dress ever again. Because my heart stops beating when I see your breasts this way. Hell, Bonnie."

He picks her up in his arms and carries her away from everyone, not even hearing the whistles and yells from the family members. His mind is focused on one thing; to be alone with this way too beautiful woman.

He walks into a small park, sitting down on the first bench in sight, pulling her onto his lap, and kissing her neck, slowly sliding down to her boobs. His face disappears between them and he moans, kissing the exposed skin before licking the tattoo slowly.

She moans softly and then they hear little footsteps running closer.

"No. My date!"

Logan looks up and straight into two very dark, angry eyes, belonging to a boy with black hair, staring at him with his arms crossed. Scorpia chuckles softly and Logan sighs. He lets his Bonnie go and she gets up from his lap.

Enzo grabs her hand and pulls her back towards the church.

Logan rubs his face with both hands, peeking through his fingers to see Bruno walk up, holding Pia's hand. The little girl almost trips and falls trying to run to Logan. The tall Scot gets up quickly to meet her halfway. Pia wraps her arms around his leg and he lifts her up. She kisses his lips and giggles.

Bruno laughs and adds a bit salty: "I sure hope Leo will love me that much someday cause my kids love you guys more."

Logan laughs and kisses Pia's cheek. They walk back to the rest of the family and get into the cars to go back to the hotel. Everyone besides Bruno and Lexy, who are driving to a different location with the photographer to take more pictures.

I promise you I always try really hard to get more chapters out in a week but I'm not in my best frame of mind and very busy lately, so it's a struggle.
I really hope you enjoyed this one though.
