Giving a small nod to him thanking her, she knew that deep down it was going to take a few talking to with her boss, but she was also one of the best they had in their office. Her boss truly owed her one for taking the cases that no one ever wanted. “You’re not like your dad, Colt. You’ll never be like him. We’re not our parents. You told me that so many times and it’s true. You’re going to be an amazing dad to this little nugget and you’re probably going to spoil it more than I will. Just like you spoil me. Just let’s pray it gets your eyes and your height. Pray,” she said dramatically. “I’ll be reading books, too, don’t worry. I may work with kids, but a newborn is a rare case and babies make me really nervous,” she admitted, herself, giving a small shrug. Giving a smile as she went on her toes to kiss him, Cami slowly pulled away with a nod. “I love you so much. You’re going to be an amazing daddy.”

As they walked downstairs, the petite woman smiled as she saw the teen, looking up at Colton. “Eat away. Trust me, it will be nice to have normal food with someone when this one is training,” she pointed at Colt. Walking towards him, she went on her toes to hug to teenager, pulling away with a smile. “Welcome. I love hugging people, so you might have to learn to get used to that. And you probably met Charlie, he’s right by your feet, hoping you will drop something for him. We’ll help you out. Promise. We both were in your shoes once, and I know trusting people can be hard, but I promise that I’ll help you. And I don’t break my promises. Ask Colton. I promised to not be a know it all at Jeopardy, and I stay quiet just for him.”

The teen was reluctant to hug back, standing up to allow Cami to wrap her arms around him but not returning the favor. “Thanks, Ms. Reeves.” He muttered under his breath, sitting back down on the stool and returning to the smorgasbord of food he had in front of him. Not only did he have trouble believing her, but he questioned why either of them wanted to help him in the first place. He’d been in the system long enough to know the way it worked, so he was just gonna enjoy the food and fancy house while he had the chance - knowing it wouldn’t last long.

“She keeps her promises.” Colton backed her up. “She stays quiet during Jeopardy, unless you count her mouthing all the answers under her breath to herself as making noise. Cause that she does.” He said teasingly, trying to make this as lighthearted as possible. Colton tried to put himself in Liam’s shoes, not just the part of it he knew of, but the position he was in now. When he was a teenager he was so destructive, if someone tried to do what he and Cami were trying to now, he wouldn’t know what to do with himself. “We both spent some time in the system, I wasn’t kidding about that. We know what it’s like. We’re not looking at you as a charity case. We really wanna help.”

Even though Colton and his brother were close, Cami hasn’t gotten the full opportunity to talk to him one on one. Folding a leg under her as much as she should, the petite brunette choked on her water when the man spoke, taking a deep breath to calm down. “We haven’t really spoke about marriage. It hasn’t really been on my mind, actually. Why? Has he spoke about proposing?” Nonchalantly rubbing her belly where she felt the small kick, the petite brunette took a deep breath. “I didn’t really think he was the marrying type, anyway.”

“He’s not the marrying type. Or the fatherly type. Or the commitment type. Then you came along and that’s all changed.” He shrugged, taking a sip from his beer. “We talked about it, briefly. Mostly me trying to get him to man up and do the right thing. You’re showing like crazy so it’s not like you could sneak a wedding in now, but man, I thought he’d at least propose before the baby came. Don’t you wanna get married?”

These few months have been harder than Cami expected. Her belly was growing almost daily and with how small she was, she was starting to feel like people should just roll her around. At the same time, she was excited that she was going to become a mom. It was something she always dreamed of and she was so happy that it was with the man she loved.

With the pair promising that they wouldn’t find out what the gender is, Cami was excited, nevertheless, just knowing that the baby was healthy. Going to work was slowly becoming harder on her without coffee and the growing belly that was getting in the way, but she refused to leave work early unless she really needed to. It helped that at the end of the day she was coming home to her little family who helped her relax a little more. 

Cami ended up coming home early due to all her home visits, walking inside the house to see Colton in the kitchen making dinner, a little happier than he normally would be. Setting her bag down, the petite brunette furrowed her brows as he started speaking. “Colt, what did you do?” Her hand rested on her stomach as she moved closer to him, looking at the food that he was making. “You never make dinner and say it’s out of the kindness of your heart. What is going on?”

“Hey, I make dinner sometimes.” It was strange of him to defend himself, especially about this subject in particular. Aside from a few take out menus he ordered from religiously, she was usually the one providing dinner. He was just arguing as a way to distract her. “Maybe we should take a cooking class together. That’d be fun, wouldn’t it?” He smiled, scooping some pasta onto plates for them. “Is this enough?” He asked, tiling the plate in her direction before placing it back down and shaking off his own question. “Nope. You’re eating for two. One more spoonful for good measure.” 

Colton wasn’t a talker, not really, yet he was turning into a motormouth over this. It was obvious something was up. Instead of just coming right out with it, even though he already hinted that there was something that could potentially make her kill him, he stalled. It was too hard to admit. “How was work?”

Connor and Cami didn’t talk much. When she came up to Jersey to visit she spent more time with his wife than with him, but now that he was down here for one of Colton’s matches they had a chance to properly get to know each other. Unfortunately, an inability to beat around the bush was a Knox family trait. “So, my brother still hasn’t proposed to you yet. I could kill him.”

Colton and Cami agreed to find out the sex of their baby the old fashioned way. They both decided they wouldn’t peak at the envelope the doctor gave them, no matter how curious they became, and a few weeks ago Colton genuinely believed he could resist the urge.

Today? A completely different story. With Cami at work, Liam at school, and no one but Charlie to stop him he quickly lost all willpower. “Don’t look at me like that.” He said to the little pup, peaking into the manila envelope just enough to see the words gender: male. “Boy! It’s a boy! We’re having a boy.” He was literally screaming, running down the stairs, getting Charlie hyper in the process. He told himself he’d be excited either way, but knowing their little fighter was gonna be a boy seemed to make his happiness skyrocket.

------

“Surprise. I’m making dinner.” He cheered, a bright smile on his face. Almost too bright. “This isn’t to soften you up at all either, nope. Not even a little bit. I do have something to tell you, and it might make you want to kill me, but this dinner is just out of the kindness of my heart. I swear. Hungry?”

who → colton and connor knox when → wednesday 1/23 where→ paramus, new jersey; connor’s house description → colton and cami take their long anticipated trip to jersey. cami meets his family and colton gives his brother the big baby news.

Sometimes it amazed Colton how well Cami knew him. It’d been so long, too long, since he found the time to make the trip up to Jersey to see his brother and it was exactly what he needed. A gift he never would’ve thought to ask for, yet she knew it’d make him the happiest. Suddenly the antique jewelry and disney memorabilia he gave her for Christmas didn’t seem nearly as impressive.

The news of their pregnancy wasn’t something Colton wanted to deliver over the phone either, so he was grateful for the trip for more than one reason. Colton wasn’t entirely sure how at home Cami felt at his brother’s place, but she certainly appeared to fit in. His brother, Connor, welcomed her with open arms, joking about how proud he was that a girl finally managed to tie his brother down, and his wife was equally as welcoming. The kids, of course, were eager to greet their new aunt, after they sprinted to give their uncle Colton a big hug. At four and three years old, they were the perfect age to become older cousins and he couldn’t wait to see the kids grow up together.

Colton chose to give the news in private, when Cami and Connor’s wife were both entertaining the kids down at the local park. He was nervous, a feeling he wasn’t expecting to bubble up, but he found himself struggling to find the words. Luckily he knew this might happen, and once Connor cracked open his beer can Colton came to the rescue with a gift he claimed would  help him with that. 

Sliding over a small box, Connor unveiled Colton’s informative gift to him watching with a wide smile on his face as his brother furrowed his brow and finally figured it out. Their arms instantly went around each other, a well deserved brotherly hug from one to the other. After a few pats on the back from each of them, Colton gave him all the details, from when he met Cami during that freak snowstorm to how far along she was now. 

Cheers from Colton’s good news quickly turned to screams at the Giants playing horribly on the big screen; the Knox family were never ones to get too sappy and the transition, while seemingly too casual, was the norm for the two. Still, the realization that this was all happening, that they’d soon be raising children together, lingered in the air between them. 

“You’re really having a kid.” Connor chuckled, still trying to process the information. Colton wasn’t offended by his shock, he was equally in awe of the fact himself, even moreso that he was having a baby with someone he loved and actually wanted to have a family with. He never imagined he’d get the chance.

“You gonna get married too?” Connor raised a brow, already mentally planning the bachelor party and preparing a speech.

“I don’t know” Colton admitted, giving a lazy shrug as he took another swig of his beer. “We haven’t really talked about it.”

“Talked about it? It’s not something you talk about, you just propose. You love her, don’t you? So what’s stopping you?”

“I uh --” Colton started, brow furrowing as he was faced with the fact that he didn’t have an answer to his question. “What is stopping me?”

Realizing how much of a connection Colton had with this kid made her realize that she needed to make sure they were taking care of him. As insane as it was for them to raise a teenager as well as prepare for a baby, she wanted to do it. Especially since that was what her job was. It broke her heart that this child felt that way and she nodded in silence for a moment in thought. “I was much younger, but I do understand the trust issues and thinking that no one really cares. Because some of the homes I was in, were horrible. I just got lucky. But I was also in the system at four instead of fourteen, you know? As much as I try to help out in this system, people sneak their way in and are complete asses that don’t care about kids. I’ll talk to my boss. I don’t think we will have anything to worry about. We’re both working people with a good home. We can have them do a house check and prove that we can do it. Just don’t worry. I can handle it.” She couldn’t help the smile that formed when he spoke, giving a small nod. “Colton Knox reading a book. I might have to put this on the fridge,” she slowly moved the tests to the side, standing up as she took a deep breath. “You don’t have to stop fighting yet. Maybe once it’s closer to the due date, you can take a small hiatus, but right now you don’t need to. I might not be able to be at each fight if they are out of state, but don’t stop fighting until the baby is here. I don’t think there’s much for you to do right now. Just be by my side at appointments and call me pretty when I’m a whale. Because I think that’s the most important thing I’ll need,” Cami smiled as she rested her hand on his face. “Want to introduce me to our new guest?”

He had no idea how she did it, but Cami always managed to know just what to say to ease his mind. Seeing the kid in the gym transported him right back to the days when he was in the system himself, and he found it extremely difficult to trust anyone, even someone Cami knew personally. Thankfully, if there was one soul he did trust, it was her, and her assurance that she’d handle it satisfied him. He knew she’d do the right thing and genuinely work for the child’s best interest. “Thank you.” A many of few words, it was all he needed to say about the situation. “If it means I’ll be a good father, I’ll read every book I can get my hands on. My dad was horrible, even when my mom had him on the straight and narrow, he was never thoughtful or involved. I don’t want to be like him.” He admitted, sighing as he tried to keep his worries of turning into his father at bay. “I’ll be at every appointment, if I’ve gotta fly out somewhere for a fight or I’m not here in Florida for whatever reason, I’ll make the doctor video conference me in.” He was serious, as silly as it sounded. 

Sighing, he locked his fingers with hers, leading them down the stairs. Their guest, as Cami called him, was eagerly helping himself to just about anything he could get his hands on in their kitchen, only stopping when the two made their way into the room. “Don’t stop on account of us, I told you to go ahead and help yourself.” Colton said, gesturing towards the fridge the teen just had his head in. But he didn’t make the move back. “This is Cami, I told you about her. She’s gonna help you. Babe, this is Liam.” His last words were quieter, more for Cami’s ears than anything. Liam didn’t say anything, only nodding in Cami’s direction, his uncertainty with authority figures made obvious.

Colton, ( @coltknox)

If you could have told me a year ago that I would be getting a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, I would have laughed and shook my head as if it was a joke. But you came into my life and changed my world completely. Meeting you was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. You are my best friend, the person I go to for anything and the one that I love. I couldn’t be more blessed to have you in my life and even though we are still in complete shock, I’m blessed to have you as the father of our little baby that’s growing inside me. I know that you’re going to be the best daddy ever and I figured that we could use a small trip before I get huge and depressed, so I called your brother (don’t worry, he doesn’t know about the baby) and he was excited of the idea of us coming to see him and the kids. I know you love them more than anything and spending time with them will put a smile to your face. I love you, Colt. Merry Christmas.

Love,

Cami

She couldn’t help but give a small smile as she watched his reaction, running her tongue on her bottom lip in thought. “I got used to it, too. I didn’t think much of it by waiting a day or two because I thought it wouldn’t make a difference. Clearly I was wrong. Work was just crazy and I was more worried about that than myself,” she spoke softly as she admitted. It wasn’t unusual for her to think about everyone except herself and this time she paid a price. Not that she wasn’t excited, but this was much sooner than they both expected. “Colt, I know the system was bad for both of us, but I can’t risk my job. If someone finds out I’m taking care of a foster kid that wasn’t given to me could really mess things up. We would have to go the legal way so I don’t lose my job.” Cami took a deep breath for a moment as she ran a hand through her hair as if that was going to help her think. “I’ll talk to some people and I think we can do it without a fuss. My boss owes me a few favors for some things I did, so I think we can slide and get away with it. He can stay here. I’ll work it out,” she nodded, giving a small smile. “I’m terrified, too. This is a big deal. We can do it, though. We’ll go to classes and read books. We will do everything we need to prepare. I mean, at least we don’t have to find a bigger home to live in, so there’s that positive. I know you’re going to be a good dad, Colton. I believe in you. I love you.”

Colton nodded along, completely understanding Cami losing track of time and not getting her shot until a few days later. She was busy, especially this time of year, and he decided not to say much else on the subject -- he didn’t want her thinking he was upset and blaming her for this. “You know what it’s like, Cami. It’s so easy for these people to convince the system they’re not doing anything wrong, neglect is hidden from them all the time.” Cami was one of the good ones, but unfortunately the bad ones outnumbered her, the one who wouldn’t go the extra mile. “I just -- I see myself in him. He’s about the same age I was when I first went into the system, and I told him he could trust me. You should’ve seen him, even getting him to come here was hard. He doesn’t think there’s anyone out there willing to fight for him.” It was a feeling Colton knew far too well. “When you talk to your boss, can you keep things hypothetical? If the answer is no and he doesn’t think we’d be able to keep him here with us, I don’t know, we can figure something else out. I just don’t want it to somehow get back to the family he’s with or he gets placed in another home that’s just as bad, because your boss couldn’t work it out for us.” It was a lot to ask, he knew it. He wasn’t asking her to risk her job, not in so many words, but as much trust as he had in her, he couldn’t trust her boss. “Classes, those sound perfect. I’ll pick up some books, guess you’re finally getting your wish -- I’m gonna start reading a lot. Should I take a break from fighting? Make this last one the last one for awhile, go on a temporary hiatus until the baby? That’s what a good dad would do, right?”

“Good thing. I mean, it’s your sperm. I didn’t steal it from you,” she raised her eyebrows at him, giving a small smile. Nodding her head as she thought for a moment in silence, knowing it was going to be harder for him to take in. A year ago he wasn’t even close to being in the place he’s in now. “We both are. I mean, this is something that I wasn’t even expecting to happen this soon. I couldn’t believe I got a positive, so I kept taking them to make sure that it’s not in my head.” Her eyes looked up at him with a smile, nodding her head. “We’re going to be amazing parents.” She couldn’t help but tilt her head when he spoke, furrowing her brows. “Fostering a kid? Colton what did you do? I’m not saying no to this at all, but we don’t just magically get kids. How did you find them and don’t they have a foster family? We can’t rip them from a family that they were given. We would have to fight it through the system, which I can do, but I don’t want us to do this and then the kid doesn’t want to deal with us anymore and go back.” Resting her hand on her stomach as she looked down, her body not showing anything yet, thinking. “If you’re open to it and you trust that this kid needs us, then I’m open to it. And if this kid wants it, we can file and work it out. You know I can’t say no to this. I guess our baby already has a sibling, in a way,” she let out a small laugh as she used her finger to make him come closer to her, kissing him. “We can do this. It will be a little crazy, but nothing we can’t handle, right? Are you excited for a baby of your own?”

“Don’t say sperm.” Shaking his head, his face contorted as the far too medical word left his mouth. As insane as it sounded, she could’ve stolen it from him and he still wouldn’t have been mad at her. Being mad at her was a lot harder than it sounded. “I can’t believe it either. I guess I got used to your shot keeping us safe that I didn’t think there was even a chance.” Sighing, he nodded in agreement, at least in her case he believed she’d be a good parent, he wasn’t entirely sure about himself yet. He always thought when the time came he’d be a great dad, but now that it was here ... it wasn’t so easy to believe. “I was worried that’s what you’d say. I don’t know if going through the system is best for him. He’s a teenager. He was at my gym, after hours, and he mentioned he’s been coming in a bit before close every night and just hiding out long enough for everyone else to leave. The home he’s in now is so bad he stows away with his pathetic little duffel bag just to get away from it. There was some bruising on his face, Cami. I couldn’t just leave him there.” Colton couldn’t ask her not to try and do this the legal way, potentially putting her job on the line, but he was conditioned not to trust the system. It never worked in the favor of kids like him. “Terrified.” He admitted, letting out another humorless laugh. “When my niece and nephew were babies I was terrible with them, I don’t have the natural parental instincts when it comes to a baby crying. I never hold them the right way.”

Lowering her eyes down to the test in her hand, Cami shrugged. “I’m pregnant. We’re having a baby,” she gave a small smile as she ran a hand through the shorter hair. “Um, the only thing I can think of is those two days I waited to get the shot done because we weren’t home and that’s when. You’re not mad are you?” She had no clue what to expect from him, everything really happening fast between them. They were possibly not the normal speed that most couples followed, but everything they did felt right. “I’ve been really tired lately and I thought it was work, but then I started feeling not hungry, but starving as if I haven’t ate in weeks when I ate an hour before. I knew something wasn’t right and so I went to the store and got all of these tests. And here I am. With eight positives. Not even one negative,” she used her hand to show all the tests in front of her. “This sounds really crazy, but I’m really excited. I’m going to be a mom,” she felt her eyes water, the smile growing on her face. “And you’re going to be a dad.”

“I’m not mad.” He said softly, gently taking the test from her hands and giving it a look himself. Not that he didn’t believe her, this was just a lot for him to take in. He wasn’t entirely sure how he felt about it, but he knew he wasn’t mad, not at her or the situation. “I think I’m in shock.” He admitted, nodding along to her explanation of what led her to this point in the first place. She worked long hours oftentimes, he didn’t think anything of her seeming more tired than usual. Suddenly it made sense. “Eight.” He repeated, taking a step back. A single false positive was one thing, eight being wrong was something else entirely. This was real, it was happening, and it was difficult for him to wrap his mind around it. “You’re going to be an amazing mom, Cami.” He believed that without a doubt, watching the tears well in her eyes as a smile pulled at his lips. “This is uh -” He trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck while a humorless laugh escaped his lips. “Funny timing. I was just about to talk to you about maybe fostering a kid together.”

Something didn’t feel quite right with Cami. Usually the petite brunette was able to wake up early and get started on the day, but lately she couldn’t get out of the bed due to how tired she was. Deep down she had a feeling and when she was late, she knew that she needed to get some tests to see if she was right. She only made one small mistake of getting her shot two days after she was supposed to, but work got in the way. It wasn’t like she could get pregnant in those two days, right?

Going to the store and buying eight tests, Cami checked the time to see that Colton wouldn’t be home from press for the upcoming fight for a while. It only took two tests to show that she was correct in her gut feeling, a part of her not believing it and taking the rest of them throughout the day, each one showing a positive sign. “I’m going to have a baby,” she spoke softly as she stared at each one as she sat on the floor surrounded by them. Cami took a deep breath as she couldn’t help but let out a smile, her hand moving to her stomach. “I’m gonna be a mommy,” Hearing the door, the petite brunette held a test in her hand and looked up when she heard footsteps. “Colton. I’m pregnant.” @coltknox

Colton had just finished his interview, complete with lots of smack talk to play up his fight next week, when he heard his trainer screaming at someone or something to get out, and stop coming around here. He was taken aback when he saw a kid slinking away in defeat. He couldn’t have been older than fifteen, and the bruising on his face made Colton think he wasn’t the nuisance or thief his trainer assumed he was. The boy wasn’t chatty, but the mention of a bad foster home was enough for Colton to extend an offer to him. He had more than enough room at his place. He always had a soft spot for kids like him, but it grew even bigger the second he met Cami, if anyone could help the kid it was her.

Calling and explaining over the phone didn’t seem like the right way to go about this, so Colton made the decision to bring the teen home on his own, knowing Cami well enough that she’d be alright with it, at least for the night. What he wasn’t expecting was the sight he walked in on, a shocked Cami sitting in the bathroom with an expression he couldn’t entirely decide was positive or negative. “You’re what?” He asked, mouth still open wide as he tilted his head. “How? I thought you--.” Excitement probably should’ve been his first response, but somehow his mind went to confusion instead.

@coltknox

It had been quite some time since her best friend had herself wrapped up in this guy that had her head over heels in love. Normally, Theresa wouldn’t pry and let the girl live her life, but things started to appear a little more serious and it looked like the guy was there to stay, which only meant one thing - the talk. After getting the details to contact the guy, she set up for a meeting, surprised that she hadn’t met the guy prior, but it was better late than never, right? Sitting in her desk chair, in the office of her theater, she heard a knock, and she slowly turned around much like one would if they were of high importance in some mob movie. Looking the man up and down with an arched brow, she nodded to him, and motioned to the chair in front of her desk. “Have a seat. I take it you’re Colton?” she assumed. Any other time, she’d welcome people who meant so much in the lives of her friends with open arms, but this time? Well this time, she thought it’d be fun to have a bit of fun first.

This was a long time coming, which lulled Colton into a false sense of security. He assumed it was something he managed to avoid completely, after he pulled off moving Cami into his place without much of a hitch. But he was wrong, eventually getting a call from a very close friend of his girlfriend’s. He didn’t know much about her, other than the fact that she was equally tiny and had a tendency to be quite theatrical -- the way she turned her chair around proved the latter to be true. “That’s me.” He said simply, taking a seat across from the girl. “This isn’t an electric chair, is it?” He deadpanned, trying to break the tension in the air.

“I never said no. You never mentioned anything about getting a dog. We both know I would never say no to another dog,” she pointed, scrunching her face as he pulled her ears down her face, pushing them back up with a pout. “Okay, a year ago, we both were not expecting any of this. We can both agree to that, but I still think you’re the one that changed the most. Let’s be real, you probably never thought about dating. Ever.” Setting some hair behind her ear as she watched him, Cami smiled brightly with a nod. “Can’t eat too much of them, though. Unless you threw your diet out the window for the trip. Um, actually she used to wear her outfit at the parks, then parents were all like this is too revealing, even though she’s like this in the movies, and then they changed it. They were going to change Ariel and just have her in her human outfit, but luckily they didn’t.” Smiling as he showed her the key, she nodded as she wrapped her arms around him, looking up for a moment. “I can recite them in Spanish, too. Everything is said in Spanish and English, so all the rules, I know in both. Basically don’t be an idiot on the monorail. People have died trying to walk on the monorail track before. Oh and there’s also a death that is really interesting. I’ll show you when we get on the monorail to get to the park.” She pushed the elevator button, going up on her toes in excitement as they got in and pushed the button to go down to the right floor. Luckily, we only have to do the ridiculously intensive bag check here instead of waiting in line at the park.” 

“I thought all the hints I’ve been dropping about liking big dogs were sticking. Charlie is Cami sized. I’m too big for him.” For some reason Colton felt the need to gesture over himself, as if Cami didn’t already know he was a giant compared to her. “No no, no way. You’re the one who said, what was it, you hadn’t dated in five years when we met? I’ve never gone that long without dating. I’ve had my fair share of relationships, they weren’t good ones most of the time, but they happened.” It was a good thing they weren’t good ones, a fact he was surprised about. If they were, he might’ve never found Cami. “The hell with my diet, this is a vacation for us. I’ll suffer when we leave here, but during the trip I’m not gonna limit my experience worrying about what I can and can’t eat. I want to be able to try all your favorite things.” He assured her, a wide smile on his face. His trainer wouldn’t be happy with his choice, but he could deal with the consequences later. “See, I knew it had something to do with all the skin. How come Ariel gets away with it? What about Pocahontas?” He asked, genuinely curious. As they made their way down the elevator and through the bag check -- something he found unnecessary, he kept a hand intertwined with hers. Although they lived together and Cami had attended a few events on his arm, being here at Disney really made Colton feel like everything between them was official. She was sharing something she absolutely loved with him, and he couldn’t wait. “Alright, are you gonna break down the monorail rules for me? In English, please.” He asked playfully, right before they boarded.

“Now that’s more like it mate!” Mitch said laughing at his pal and shook his head when his next words came out. “If you’re asking such a question it means you don’t know me at all! Though I admit, we haven’t hung out much really…” He said honestly with a shrug and chuckled as he then answered, “But you are correct. There are and will never be any wedding bells in my future Colton…” Mitch suddenly paused and raised and eyebrow at him, “Are you saying there are wedding bells in your future?! Already?!” He waited for a reply and did chuckle though when Colton mentioned that the bachelor would get a free pass. “Details details my friend! One could always say they were too drunk to remember what happened and they’d be let off the hook! Oh but the fun we would have had if I hadn’t met you with a girlfriend! There’s an amazing and classy strip club that I know very well and I can assure you, you would have enjoyed it very much. Ever miss it? Being single?” He asked and took a sip of the strong drink and felt the burn start in his throat but pushed it down.

“Never say never, my friend. Years ago my brother swore he was giving up relationships for awhile, a week later he met the girl who ended up becoming his wife.” He said with the shake of his head, taking a sip of his drink. “You’re gonna end up married before I am. Her and I just moved in together, wedding bells are far off.” Colton motioned his hands wildly, as if to physically push those thoughts away. He wasn’t ready for marriage, that step was too big for him, way too big. “I’m no relationship expert, but I think being too drunk to remember everything would open up a whole other can of worms. But we can still have a good time. I mean, if it’s a classy strip club I don’t think my girlfriend would be that upset about it. As long as things are mostly covered that should be okay, right?” Colton wasn’t sure who he was trying to convince, but it sounded good. “Surprisingly, no. I picked a good one this time, definitely worth it.”

Rolling her eyes at him as he spoke, Cami couldn’t help the smile that formed, watching him put the shirt on, her eyes lingering on his body for a second. “Funny how a year ago you were this crazy tough guy and now you walk a tiny dog and go to Disney. And you have a girlfriend.” She raised her eyebrows at him, as she adjusted her ears. “Eugene Fitzherbert. Oh god, Rapunzel’s last name is Fitzherbert,” she made a face as she connected the dots. Rolling on her heels, the petite brunette gave an innocent shrug as she looked up at him. “I’ve been ready to go since we got to the hotel last night. I closed up the room so you couldn’t even hear the fireworks. That’s how ready I am. I didn’t want you to see the show yet. They have a dessert party I may have got for us for special seating for the firework show. And the desserts are to die for.” She paused as he spoke, looking over at him. “Wanna know something that angers me? Jasmine’s outfit isn’t like how it is in the movie. She’s all covered up now and it makes me mad. That’s not her outfit,” she groaned as she finally smiled once he got up. “Come on. We have easy accept to Magic Kingdom with the monorail in our hotel. I have a shirt with the monorail rules on it. I have the rules memorized,” she smiled as she grabbed his hand, basically pulling him out of the hotel room. “Wait! You got the key, right? We don’t need to be locked out later on.”

“Only because you won’t let us get a big dog, Charlie could use a friend.” He said jokingly, pulling the Mickey ears she just adjusted down over her eyes. “A year ago you swore off dating and were content living alone for the rest of your life, now you live with your boyfriend and have him match you on your Disney trips.” It was adorable how excited Cami was for all of this. He knew she would be, but closing up the room so he couldn’t so much as hear even a moment of the experience took it to a level he wasn’t expecting. She was really trying to make this as special as could be for him. “Thank you for keeping it all a surprise for me, then. You had me at dessert party.” He laughed. “That probably has something to do with not wanting her to show all that skin in front of kids, right? Because her outfit is what I was most looking forward to.” Not wanting to keep her waiting any longer, he quickly finished up, nodding along to her proud admission about the monorail. He was surprised she didn’t have a job here yet. “Magic Kingdom, I’m ready. I’ll try not to break any of the monorail rules, you can recite them on the way down.” He held up the key to their room, silently answering her question. “I’m ready to see some magic.” He declared, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, and leading them out the door.
