The morning of the retaking of the vows was hectic, I had barely taken a sip of my coffee before the door knocked for what seemed like the millionth time. Beth is let in, looking rather ruffled. She glares at her brother before barging through the door over to my side.


“I really don’t have time for this today. So what have you two been arguing over so I can fix it and take Kelly to the hair dressers” She states arms folded glaring at both of us. I stop in mid sip and quickly swallow the hot coffee to answer but its Adam who answered.


“We haven’t argued”


“Mrs Jones down stairs said different she said she clearly heard shouting.”


“Stacey came to visit last night, claiming she’s pregnant with my baby” Adam cut her off swiftly. The change in Beth’s stance was immediate, her face went red with fury and her hands clenched into fists. I gently put a hand on her shoulder.


“Called me a whore too” I try to joke and she looks at me. “Adam and I talked through it. We’re ok. After all he and I have to actually start a relationship before looking nine months down it”


“Jesus Adam” She shouts turning to him “you found one with a brain”


After the initial shock the laughter set in and the tension broke like glass falling to the pavement. I have to admit I was nervous, Adam constantly talked about his family, he and his sister were quite close, but I had only met her that one time when I had taken the family photo.


When its time for me to leave with her he kisses me softly and assures me I’ll be fine. I follow her out and to her car. Neither of us speaks. The choice of car shocks me, a little Blue beetle I climb in.


“So…” she says starting the car. “you are the ever so wonderful Kelly”


“And you’re the infamous Beth” I reply. “Nice to meet you”


We both giggle nervously and she starts to drive. Where do you start?


“I know we don’t really know each other but Adam talks so much about you I feel like I know you already.” She admits.


“Me too” I laugh. “He’s always talking about you”

“All good I hope” She jokes I admit that it is.


“I guess I want to thank you” She says softly her eyes not looking away from the road ahead. “Most girls would have bolted if they’d have heard what Stacey had to say, she’s a lying bitch, Ok So Adam’s no angel, he’s stubborn and a bit of a jerk some times, but I’ll never forgive her for what she did. I just thank god he found you, because bit by bit you’re bringing the real Adam back to us.”


“I don’t know what’s going on between me and your brother, its new fresh and exciting. I already know he’s won our bet.”


“And I for one am glad he is. I was some what nervous when he asked me to take you with me to gat my hair, nails and make up done but I’m glad I said yes, I’ve decided I like you Miss Kelly.”


“He asked you? He told me you asked him” I stated.


“Typical little toad trick. It was his way of forcing us to be friends most likely. First time I met Stacey I instantly disliked her. I think he was just trying to get me to get to know you with out him around. Y’know?”


“Aye and this way you can tell me all the embarrassing Children stories and explain to me why he calls you Barney and you call him Doris” I state and she laughs.


“When I was five, I told him I was going to marry Barney when I grew up and become a cave woman” She chuckled at the memory “I call him Doris because when we were little and I got sick with flu or what ever, to cheer me up he would put on mums ridiculous flowery dress and straw hat and play tea party’s with me. Doris is what he called himself. I have a photo in my bag. I’ll show it to you in a second”


We stop at the lights and she pulls her purse out and there it was a picture of Adam, six years old maybe seven dressed in this large flowery dress holding a kettle and wearing far too much eye shadow and hooker red lipstick.


“OH gods I need a copy of that” I laugh.


“Damn straight you do” She laughs throwing her purse back into her bag as the lights change.

We have hour hair, nails and make-up done al the while talking animatedly about any thing and every thing. She drives me to the hotel; we both get out and lug the boxes of party decorations into the function room.


Adam is already there, he looks up as we enters and jogs over to kiss my forehead and take the box from me.


“Kiss ass” His sister teases but I smile and together with a few volunteers and hotel staff we decorate the hall. When all is done I survey our handy work and Adam stands beside me.


“Are you staying at mine tonight?” he asks.


“Dunno.” I reply.


“Well let’s go to yours and grab you clothes encase you decide to.” He says taking my hand and pulling me out of the Hotel and towards his car.
