�And with the power invested in me,� the Priest began, �I now pronounce you husband and wife.� He smiled. �You may kiss your bride.� Aaron smiled and took MyKenna in a kiss. MyKenna put her arms around Aaron�s neck, as Nickolas patted his brother on the back.
�Ok, little brother,� Nickolas said. �That�s enough.� Aaron ignored Nickolas and continued kissing his new bride. Nickolas shook his head and looked pass them to Dakota. She smiled and pointed beside him. Nickolas looked and saw Little Aaron Charles Carter standing beside him.
Nickolas picked Little Aaron up and Little Aaron said, �Dada.�
�Daddy�s giving mommy a kiss quick,� Nickolas said. �But God knows they don�t have to do that here.�
�Take a breather already,� Alexander yelled and everyone laughed, as Aaron and MyKenna stopped kissing and just looked at each other. �They�ll be enough time for that on the honeymoon.�
They both smiled and Little Aaron said, �Dada.�
�Take your kid already, man,� Nickolas said handing Aaron his son. �He�s wanted you the past half hour since you started kissing her.�
�Her name is MyKenna,� Aaron said. �And it wasn�t a half hour.�
�Whatever,� Nickolas said smiling.
�Ladies and Gentlemen I give to you Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Carter,� the Priest said. �And son.� All the guests stood up and started clapping, as the newlyweds walked up the aisle.
�How long do you think it�ll last?� Nickolas asked Dakota, as they took their turn up the aisle.
�That�s not nice,� Dakota said. �Don�t jinx them.�
�I�ll bet ya 500 that it won�t last a year.� She elbowed him in the side. �Ow.�
�It�s going to last longer than a year, Carter. They�re in love.�
�Doesn�t mean anything.� She looked at him and he smiled. �You could be getting yourself $500 by next June if you place your bet.�
�I ain�t betting you on my friends.�
�Fine it�s your loss.� He continued smiling and they joined MyKenna and Aaron at the back of the church.
�Here take him,� MyKenna said handing Little Aaron to Dakota.
�He�s your kid,� Dakota said.
�And your Godson,� MyKenna added.
�Don�t think I�m going to be watching him while you�re on your honeymoon,� Dakota said. �I have things to do.�
�Mom�s going to take care of him,� Aaron said.
�Good,� Dakota said, as the guests started clearing out and congratulating Aaron and MyKenna.
�I�ll take him,� Rachel said taking Little Aaron from Dakota.
�Who knew Aaron�s spawn would be the popular one,� Nickolas said. �Sure the heck not me.�
�I think Nick was at the reception hall getting into the liquor already,� Dakota said.
�He�s just mad because I made it to the altar before him,� Aaron said.
�Who knew you would get married before me,� Nickolas said. �Not me.�
�Well I ain�t the one that waited to propose,� Aaron said.
�And I ain�t the one that had a kid,� Nickolas said.
�And I�m not the one that�s 28 and not married yet,� Aaron added.
�Look at Howie,� Nickolas rebutted. �He�s, like, 40 and not married yet.�
�34,� Dakota corrected him, as they all looked at Howard flirting with the ladies.
�He�s still ancient,� Nickolas replied and they laughed. �And he�s not married.�
�He�s playing it safe,� Dakota said. �He ain�t getting himself into that marriage trap.� The three of them looked at her. �What? That�s what it is; a trap.�
�Remember that when you get married in August,� MyKenna said.
�We�ll just see if there�s a wedding,� Dakota smirked and Nickolas shook his head. �I�m kidding.� She kissed his cheek.
�So who�s getting hitched next?� Alexander asked and they looked at him.
�Howie,� they all said rolling their eyes.
�Who do you think?� Nickolas asked. �Me and Shorty. The rest of you are married and my sisters are never getting married.� He smiled and put his arm around Dakota.
�Right,� Alexander said looking at MyKenna and Aaron. �Congratulations you two.� He gave Aaron a hug and kissed MyKenna�s cheek then looked at Dakota. �And I hope you know what you�re getting yourself into, Dear.� Dakota gave him a weird look and he walked away. �Let�s get the party started!� Everyone laughed and watched Alexander walk out of the church.
�So where are you going on your honeymoon?� Dakota asked, as MyKenna and Aaron continued with the guests.
�It�s a surprise,� Aaron said. �She�ll find out later.�
�When they get there,� Nickolas said.
�Will you stop it already?� Dakota requested. �Today is a happy day for them so quit being whatever you�re being.� He smiled.
�I think I have a pretty good idea where we�re going,� MyKenna said.
�Where?� Dakota asked.
�Italy,� MyKenna and Aaron just looked at her.
�Nice try, but no,� Aaron said.
�Don�t lie, because I saw the airline tickets.�
�Yeah for mom and dad since they�re going in a couple weeks.�
�Then why are they at DJ�s?�
�Jane asked me to keep them there so she doesn�t misplace them,� Dakota replied.
�Whatever,� MyKenna said. �I know we�re going to Italy.�
�Fine believe what you want,� Aaron said. �But we�re not going to Italy.�
�Yes we are,� MyKenna said and Aaron shook his head. �We�re going to Italy.�
�No we�re not and I know what this is,� Aaron said. �You�re going to insist we�re going to Italy until I blurt out where we�re going. It�s not going to work.� She looked at him and he kissed her. �Nice try though.�
�You�re evil, Aaron, pure evil.�
�If I was evil I wouldn�t be standing in this church right now.� He grinned, as the last guest walked away.
�Stay put,� Jane said. �I want to get a picture of the four of you.� She held up the camera.
�Come on, Ma,� Aaron said. �You�re going to have all the pictures you want in a couple weeks.�
�Smile,� Jane said and they did so to please her and she took the picture. �One more.� She took another picture and smiled. �I can�t believe my baby boy is married already.�
�Ma, please don�t cry,� Aaron said hugging her. �I�m a grown man.� Nickolas started laughing and they looked at him. They waited for him to say something, but he just continued laughing. �Despite what Nick thinks.� Nickolas continued laughing.
�I was hoping you�d be my baby forever,� Jane said.
�Well I grew up,� Aaron said.
�Into a very handsome young man,� MyKenna said smiling.
�Where�s the photographer?� Aaron asked. �I want to get these pictures started and done with.�
�At the front of the church,� Dakota said pointing. �Waiting patiently.� Aaron looked. �Next time look before you ask.� She smiled and patted his back. �Go have fun and we�ll wait here.� She pushed him and MyKenna over to the photographer then she and Nickolas sat down to watch.
