Cris' POV

Kamea was ready to change into her reception dress, but I had other plans. Unlike the Virgin Islands, we are going to be a little late. 

"Jake, enjoy the rest of the night with Briana. I'll take it from here."

"Sure, Cris."

Jake walked away from the room Kamea was changing in, so I opened the door.

"Jake, you can't come in here. I'm changing." I did not say anything. I just kept walking over to her.

"Jake Michaels, I am not playing with you!" 

"Jake...."

I put my hand over Kamea's mouth, turned her around, and pulled her close to me.

"Jake is off duty for the rest of the night. I have been waiting for this since you walked down the aisle to me."

I gave her the puppy dog eyes, swooped her hair out of my way, and started to unzip her wedding dress.

I slowly backed her over to the bed in the room. In between kisses, "Please baby, I promise to be gentle. You want to do it just as much as I do." 

"Oh, what the heck? Come on, Tiger."

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

Mama Jayde's POV

It has been a half-hour since I have seen Kam. "Where in the world could she be?" I saw Jake talking with his girlfriend, Briana. "I'll go ask Jake."

So, I walked over to him. "Jake, where in the world is Kami? She should have been back 30 minutes ago."

"Um, Kam is quite busy at the minute. Let's say she is having her own cocktail hour."

"Seriously, those two couldn't wait? We have children here, and I am sure they are hungry. Jake, which way to the house?"

"It's to the left, through that pathway."

I made my way over to the house. I couldn't be mad, but I got tired of listening to my whining mother.

I marched into the house and up the stairs. I heard them before I even made it to the room.

"Oh, my goodness, Cris, don't stop!!"

"No wonder my child is pregnant with twins." I couldn't help but think as I started chuckling.

"Kamea Malia Fiore and Cristiano Amadore Fiore, are you all seriously going to leave your guests hanging? They have been waiting for a half-hour! Think about the children. I'm sure they are hungry. " I yelled at the top of my lungs. 

They must have heard me because suddenly, I heard Kamea say, "Shoot, we have been in here that long?"

Then Cris said, "I was hungry too."

"Boy, calm down. You both  have your whole lives to do that."

She came over to open the door slightly. "We will be there shortly. I promise. Give me about 15 minutes."

"Good. Because if you are not down there in 15 minutes, I am sending your father." 

"Okay, mom. Got it."

Kam's POV

"We can continue this later. My mom meant it when she mentioned sending my dad."

I threw Cris his clothes. "Here." And then I went to put on my dress.

We were dressed and out of the room in 15 minutes.

When we made it back, an announcement was made that everyone could take their seats and that the wedding party was ready to enter.

Surprisingly, everyone had a smirk on their faces when they saw us. "You all just couldn't wait, could you?" My dad said while looking at me. I couldn't say anything, so I just laughed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first we have the bride's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Kalani and Jayde Palu."

My parents entered and took their seats.

"Next, we have the groom's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Antonio and Isabela Fiore."

Antonio and Isabela entered and took their seats.

"Entering next is the sister of the groom and her husband, Mr. & Mrs. Tony, and Alessandra Armati."

Alessandra and Tony took their seats.

"Our next couple is the cousin of the bride and her beau, Marissa and Andre."

Marissa and Andre danced their way to their seats. I liked it.

"Next, we have the bride's best friend and her friend, Tamia and Salvatore."

I can definitely see those two becoming permanent.

"Next on the list, we have the bride's best friend and his girlfriend, Jake and Briana."

I can't wait until they get married.

"Entering next is the sister of the bride and brother of the groom, Noeliani Palu, and Super Male Model, Marco Fiore."

Their wedding is next. 

Cris whispered to Día and Rocco, "Go stand with Nonna and Nonno."

"The children of the bride and groom, Día and Rocco Fiore."

My kids looked so adorable, all dressed up and making their way to Antonio and Isabela.

"And, last but not least, the stars of the evening, bride and groom, Mr. & Mrs. Cristiano and Kamea Fiore."

Everyone stood up from their seats and applauded while Cris and I made our way to the dance floor.

"While dinner is being served, the bride and groom would like to take their first dance."

Cris chose 'You and I ' by John Legend. I still couldn't believe he was here.

Cris and I talked to each other while we danced.

"How did you get him to perform at our wedding? He is literally one of my favorite artists!"

"Sweetheart, that was all, Jake. He did some bodyguard work for him."

"Well, I'll have to thank them both. And thank you for making our wedding day special."

"Of course. Your special, Kamea. You made it easy for myself and my family to love you by just being yourself."

Then, after that, I chose the same song as I did in the Virgin Islands.

After Cris and I danced, I wanted to dance with my dad. He didn't tell me what song he picked, but he said that it is old school and fits me perfectly.

"Daddy, I love it." My parents played old-school music a lot back when Noeli and I were younger. That is what we grew up on. I loved the song my father chose.

"Well, it's true. You are a lovely, beautiful woman that I had the privilege to watch grow up. You and Cris are perfect for each other, Kami. I gave him a tough time because I only want what is best for my girls. And, now, look at you - about to be a mom, and I am about to be a grandpa. I am so proud of you."

I couldn't help but cry at what my dad had just said. "Thank you, daddy."

After we danced, I joined Cris and my kids so that I could eat because mama needed to feed her babies. The sign that was in front of our table was adorable.

Cris told me I could get what I wanted, so I did.

Each table had vanilla-scented candles, which is one of my favorite scents.

For all the kids to eat, we got chicken nuggets, fries, burgers, and pizza.

For the adults, we had Italian, Hawaiian, and Caribbean food.

We had an open bar, plenty of desserts, and a candy station.

I also got personalized gifts for all the kids. And his or her gifts for the adults.

I just wanted everyone to know how much they are appreciated and loved by Cris and me. And, in our invitation, I requested no gifts because we already have everything.

After eating, Cris and I went ahead and cut both cakes - one was diabetic, and the other was regular.

Cocoa made both cakes look the same, but one was for guests with Diabetes. We cut the regular one first.

Cris stood behind me. We both had our hands on the knife and cut it.

Then, we moved to the other cake. "When I feed him, I am going to smash it in his face."

Cris once again stood behind me. Both of our hands were on the knife, and we cut it. Both pieces were then placed on two plates. He took a piece, and I took a piece on a fork. But, instead of putting the cake in his mouth, I smashed it in his face.

Día and Rocco started laughing. "Daddy got cake on his face!"

"Oh woman, you are in big trouble later." 

"I was counting on it, Tiger." Cris let me eat the cake off his face. Everybody looked at me like I was crazy. "Hey, I am not shy. Besides, he loves it. See." He had icing on his lips, so I sucked it off.

Now, it was time for our surprise dance for Cris. So, before I went dancing, I needed some more water. I walked over to the bar. "Excuse me. I would like a glass of water, please?" The bartender turned around and started smirking at me and looking me up and down. He handed me the water. "Thank you."

Chase's POV

"You're welcome." Just watching her walk away in that dress is making me want an ice pack and a cold shower. Cris is going to come over here, so I better put on my 'I'm really sorry' face."

Kam's POV

I went to find my princess. I saw her sitting with Cris, and they were eating some cake. He saw the uncomfortable feeling I had on my face.

"Sweetheart, what is wrong?"

"When I went to get some water from the bartender, I noticed him looking me up and down. It made me feel a little uneasy." Cris was pissed.

"I'll be right back." Cris then walked away.

Cris' POV

I walked over to the bar, upset at what Kamea had just told me.

"Excuse me. I am going to make this perfectly clear. I can't stop you from staring, but I can have you taken out if you lay a finger on my wife! She should not be made to feel uncomfortable on her wedding day. Do your job or else understand?" 

"Yes, sir, Mr. Fiore." 

I walked back over to my girls.

Kamea's POV

"Hey, princess, let's go show daddy our surprise."

"What surprise?" Cris asked.

"You'll see." So, Día and I walked over to the dance stage, and I made an announcement.

"Family, my princess, and I have a treat for Cris and you. Jake is going to help us." Jake came up with us, and then the DJ played the music.

We didn't dance exactly like Beyoncé because my princess is only five years old, and I am pregnant. Cris was smiling through the whole time we danced. Jake sang Jay-Z's part while we danced. I handed the microphone to my princess, and she sang, "Looking so Crazy in Love."

"Look at my girls!" Cris screamed while we were dancing. 

"This next dance is the reason you all are here today. It's the song I danced to when I won the contest Cris had at his club. And, because of that dance, he told me later that he loved me." His face lit up when I started dancing. 

I had Noeli and Marissa dance with me. Everybody came over and watched. We had one more dance.

"I need Alessandra, Briana, and Tamia to join us." We practiced this one. Alessandra, Briana, and Tamia caught on fast.

The look on the guy's face was classic. Each one of them wanted to take us off the stage and take us to a bedroom. We had all the ladies singing to this one.

By the time we were finished, I had needed to sit for a minute. I went to get some more water. This time, the bartender was nicer. I then sat and talked with my family. While talking, Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello came over to say hi.

"Thank you, guys, again for coming to my wedding and last night." 

"It was our pleasure. The other fellas couldn't make it, so they wanted to send their congratulations."

"We have a wedding present for you." Channing Tatum handed me the gift. He lingered a little and touched my hand. I looked at him, and he winked. "Thank you. You guys didn't have to give us anything."

"Did he just flirt with me?" I thought to myself.

"You both are welcome to stay. We are about to open up the dance floor."

"Thank you. Don't mind if I do. Speaking of dancing, that was some fantastic dancing you just did."

"Thank you. Dancing is a hobby. It is another form of exercise for me."

"Well, maybe your husband will let me steal a dance." Then, they walked off to the bar.

My mom said, "Looks like someone has a crush on you."

"Well, that is all it is going to be. Channing Tatum may be hot and all, but I love me some Cris Fiore."

Cris announced that it was time for dancing. My mom got up. "That's my cue." She found my dad and they started dancing. As I got up to walk towards Cris, my grandmother came back to her seat. And, she started on me again.

"How do you know you didn't hurt those babies you are pregnant with? All of that gyrating you did while dancing, you probably killed them. Act like you have some class, child."

"Grandma, how could you say something like that to me?!! I would never do anything to hurt my babies. Never! Why do you keep bothering me if you don't like me?! You are nice to every one of your grandchildren but me!"

I started yelling, and I didn't care. "I have never done anything bad, always been a straight-A student, and showed you nothing but respect! But because I am lighter than the others, you treat me like crap!" Cris saw me yelling and came over. By the time he did, I had tears in my eyes.

"Why are you light? Get a tan. You should have been born darker. That is all you ever said to me, and it hurts!!"

"Stop talking to your grandmother like that! You are making a scene," my uncle said.

"I'm making a scene?! My grandmother just told me I may have killed my babies! How in the hello am I supposed to feel?! And you, just shut it! All you did whenever we came around was trying to touch me! You are my freaking uncle!"

"He did what?!" Cris asked.

"My uncle and grandmother are why we don't visit them anymore. He would always try to touch me inappropriately! My grandmother knew about it but brushed it off! Like one time, Noeli and I spent the night at her house. Somehow my uncle found out. He came over, and my grandmother let him stay. He came into our room and tried to touch both of us!"

I lost it - I couldn't stop crying. "We went to tell her, but she brushed it off. I called my mom and dad. They immediately came to get us. My dad almost killed him. After that, we never went to visit her again."

Cris went over to him and punched my uncle in his face. "You have 5 seconds to get the hello out of here before I kill you."

"Kamea, are you just going to stand there and let him talk to your uncle like that?"

"Darn right I am! I am sick of your hate towards me and sick of my uncle!" I started feeling like I was going to faint.

"Cris, I don't feel good." I felt like my legs were about to go out. He grabbed me before I could fall.

"I want the both of you out of here now! I don't care where you go, but you need to leave! I will not have anyone upsetting Kamea. She is pregnant, for goodness' sake!"

Cris' security came over and escorted my grandmother and uncle out. "Get her some water." He carried me back to our table. Cris held me and stroked my hair and back. And rubbed my belly. "I'm sorry, sweetheart." The guy came back with the water. "Here, drink this."

"Thanks." We just sat there and talked for a bit. Mr. Toscano came over. "Are you okay, Kamea?"

"I just felt a little dizzy. I need just to sit down and take a break."

"Okay. Just checking to make sure you are okay." We just sat there and watched everyone who was dancing.

"Look at princess and Rocco dancing. They look so cute. Gosh, I love those kids."

"They are going to be out like a light when they go to bed tonight."

"You still haven't told me where we are going?" I gave him the puppy dog eyes.

"Not going to work. You know I love surprising you."

"No fair. You gave me the puppy dog look before we came to the reception."

"Not my fault you gave in." 

"Well, when I am ready to dance, you're going to have to dance with me for two songs."

"Now, Kamea, you know I don't have any rhythm."

"Oh, I know you don't have any rhythm. That is not my fault, is it? You are dancing with me anyway. Besides, all you have to do is watch me. They are not hard dances. You and I are going to be on that dance floor, mister."

Cam and Cocoa came over. "We are going to say good night. Congratulations, and thank you for having us."

"You're welcome. And thank you all for coming." Antonio and Isabela came over too.

"We are going to leave too. Rocco and Día are doing the same thing. We will see you both when you come back from your honeymoon. Have a safe trip."

"Come over to mama, Día, and Rocco." I gave my kids a kiss and hug, then said, "Be good for Nonna and Nonno, okay?"

"Yes, mommy."

"We love you both and will bring something back for you."

"Love you, daddy." They both hugged Cris and left with Antonio and Isabela.

The DJ started to play the songs I wanted Cris to dance with me on. I taught Cris how to do 'The Cupid Shuffle.'

And, I taught him 'The Wobble.'

"And, you thought you didn't have rhythm. You caught on really quick."

"I had a great teacher."

Mr. Dominic and Mr. Toscano even cut a rug on the dance floor.

"Cris, I am starting to feel tired. I have been on my feet most of the day, and my back is starting to hurt. The only thing left is the bouquet toss and garter belt toss."

"Sure." So, Cris walked over to the DJ, and I went to sit down.

Cris' POV

Before Kamea and I left for our second honeymoon, we had two things left to do. Kamea will throw her bridal bouquet. And I get the pleasure of tossing her garter belt. 

So, I grabbed a chair for her to sit in once she was done with the bouquet toss.

Kamea got up from where she was sitting and walked around to the dance floor.

"Ladies, on the count of three, I will toss my bouquet."

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

And when the bouquet landed, guess who caught it? It was Tam.

She was blushing like crazy, and so was Sal.

"Kamea, sweetheart, sit in the chair in the middle of the dance floor."

I made my way to the middle too.

I got on my knees and started lifting the bottom of her dress, exposing her legs. I heard whistles galore and even saw Channing Tatum ogling my wife.

"Is it just me, or does Channing Tatum have the hots for Kamea?" I pondered as my hands continued up her leg to get the garter belt.

She started to giggle. "I can't help it. I am ticklish."

I slowly started pulling the garter belt off her leg. I looked up and saw the cameras flashing. And then, I just happened to see one particular person grinning from ear to ear. "Um, Kamea, sweetheart, be careful around Channing Tatum. He is staring at you like a piece of meat."

"I am glad you said something because I almost forgot what happened earlier."

I felt myself getting angry. I am going to show everybody here that she is mine.

"Not too long ago, my mom said he had a crush on me. I didn't want to believe her. But he handed me a wedding gift. When he gave it to me, he lingered so that he touched my hand. When I looked at him to thank him, he winked. I didn't think anything of it because I am happily married to you. I love Cristiano Amadore Fiore. We have already had enough drama for tonight. Let's not let it ruin our special day. When you see the lingerie I have for tonight; your mind will be blown." 

"Kiss me, handsome. Then, toss that garter belt, and let's go so we can get to lovin." 

So, how can I deny my bride's request? I grabbed Kamea's face and kissed he lips like a madman. Her lips are perfectly plump and soft. I did something for the first time with Kamea, and she let me do it. Our tongues met for the first time, and she loved it.

"You never did that before," She said after we came up for air. "Toss it, handsome." She did her little dance.

So, I stood up. "On the count of three."

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

We would have thought that it was a piece of steak that was thrown in the air. I didn't know whether I should be upset or laugh. They were worse than the ladies. Once it landed, I wasn't shocked at who got it - Channing.

I told Kamea, "If he tries anything with you, let me know. I don't care who he is. I will hurt him."

"Of course, handsome."

Kam's POV

He didn't seem like the kind of guy that would try something. But, you never know with people nowadays.

Cris and I went to find my parents and tell them we were leaving. As we were walking, I turned around and saw that creepy bartender staring at me. I quickly turned back around and quickened my pace.

We finally caught up with my parents.

"Mom and dad, Cris and I are about to leave. We want to say thank you for everything. I love you both."

"You're welcome, baby. We love you both."

"I dropped my purse." I knelt down to pick it up, and instantly the place became a horror show. "Stay down!" Cris yelled at me.

I looked over and saw my mom lying on the ground bleeding, and my dad was crying as he held her in his arms.

"Oh, no, please don't let her be dead!" I heard my dad say as he was crying.

"Mom!" I crawled over to my mom and started calling her name. "Mom, please don't leave us! Please don't die! We can't live without you! We need you! I need you!"

I heard Jake say, "The security is searching the premises! It had to be a sniper shot because they stopped shooting once they saw Mama Jayde go down. Cris, that shot was meant to be for Kam."

I was devastated! Here I am, watching my mother about to die because of me. My mother grabbed my hand and said, "Kami, I don't think I am going to make it. I want you to be the best mother you can be to my grandchildren. Always listen to Cris and be the best wife you can be. I love you all."

Noeli came over and knelt beside me.

"You too, sweetheart. I want you and Marco to fall in love, get married and have my grandchildren." Marco knelt next to Noeli and held her tight.

Then, my mom looked at my dad and said, "I love you." She coughed, and softly, her body went limp.

The paramedics arrived. Cris moved me, and Marco moved Noeli.

They tried all they could to help my mom, but it didn't work. They tried to find a pulse, but nothing. Then, they told my dad, "I'm sorry, but your wife passed away."

"SHE IS DEAD BECAUSE OF ME!" Cris tried to squeeze me tight to console me, but I couldn't. "Leave me alone! Don't touch me! My mother is dead because of me! Whoever you are, here I am! Shoot me now!" Then, I just ran.

Chase's POV

After I realized the shooting was over, I stood up from behind the bar. I heard that whole conversation about a sniper shot. "I swear, if I find out that Candi chick is behind this, she is dead!"
