Ryan P.O.V.
Gregory and I sat and listened to everyone ribbing Michael for his unintentional blurt and thought about how this newest couple, although unconfirmed, seemed to pop up since Y/N and Adrian met us. With all of the descendants together during the wedding preparation, it's been interesting to see just how many couples seem to have formed amongst us and how the dynamic of our little group, or family as Y/N has said many times, has adapted to everyone's temperament.
"I feel like shopping," Gregory said with a smirk. "I still have to get a wedding present and I'm just so far behind."
"You know," Celeste offered, "we haven't managed to get the honeymoon set yet. We could look for that stuff since we're all here."
"Y/N, you're gonna have to go take a shower real quick," I said.
"No!" Lisa exclaimed with a gasp. "You have to try out that bath set Celeste got you. It'll help you relax and give you a chance to see if the set is what you like for certain."
"And if you do like it, I can make sure to get you more later on," the golden haired girl said with a giggle. "I think you will since you have that unnatural ass preference for vanilla scented stuff."
"If my mate wants to go round smelling like a cupcake then she'll go round smelling like a cupcake," Adrian said with a smirk. "I'll eat her either way, so..." He was then reduced to laughter as Y/N whipped around and smacked him on the arm, her own laughter ringing out even as she blushed a deep red.
"Why don't you go in and draw her a bath?" Lisa suggested. "Then come back out here so you can help pick out some things for your wedding gifts."
"But what about...?"
"Y/N has been doing enough," Celeste said with Michael and Reggie nodding emphatically along. "Its your turn to put in just a tiny bit of input for wedding gifts."
"Don't worry," I said with a chuckle. "It won't hurt you. Much." You could still see a bit of the apprehension he had even as he laughed and helped Y/N to the bathroom. The pair of them giggled and joked around while the tub filled, the sounds of the water not quite blocking out all the sounds coming from the room.
"Ok, now that they're gone," Lisa said with what can only be described as an evil grin, "we're gonna start going though this website." She opened up the cover to her tablet and showed us all a website specifically geared toward plus size clothing. Some of the items looked...a bit more risque than I'd believe Y/N would wear.
"You know she's going to throw a fit about this," Celeste said.
"Oh, she'll throw more than a fit," Reggie said with a laugh. "She's going to wish death on the lot of us."
"I don't care," Michael emoted with a grin. "I just wanna hear how Adrian lost his shit during the honeymoon."
"And I just want them to have fun with each other," Lisa admitted, "so I'm thinking some lingerie would be a good start."
"But she's pregnant," Simon entered into the conversation. "Would it be alright for her to engage in sex while she can barely keep food down? I mean I know you can have sex all the way up to the last month of the pregnancy, but right now she's in pretty rough shape and has to have a blend of meds just to keep a bowl of gruel down."
"Hey," I said, "that isn't gruel. That's a simple rice porridge with leeks in it. The leeks have a chemical in them that helps with digestion and boosts the immune system. The Japanese have been using this for centuries and it works just fine."
"Yeah, I get that," he said, "but just once I bet she'd like to have a piece of chicken or a fucking pancake or something. Anything that requires more chewing than the bowl of baby food she gets right now."
"Don't argue," Michael said. "It will reach their ears and the last thing we need is those two knowing what we're doing out here."
We stopped talking of food and went back to looking at the website. As I'd thought, there were quite a few racy selections the women had looked at with us guys sitting there trying not to let our imaginations run away with ourselves. It was fun to note that the women all knew what they were doing by letting us look over their shoulders; each time they'd look at another piece of clothing they'd look over at us to gauge our responses to them to see which ones to pick out. By the time the women finished they had about twelve different lingerie sets to choose from.
"Now we just wait for my son to get back here," Lisa said. "I'll have him help pick out his mate's honeymoon attire."

"Do you want me to get in with you?" I asked as I turned off the water. The heady steam filled the room with the scent of vanilla and cinnamon. It took everything in me not to comment Y/N would come out smelling like one of her cinnamon rolls.
"No," she said with a chuckle. "I know how to take a bath, sweetheart. Besides, your mother and the rest of our guests are out there, so it would be wise if someone was out there with them. You know what kind of mischief they can make if we're not in the room with them."
"True," I said with a smirk. That smirk suddenly faded.
"What's that look for?" I heard her voice in my mind.
"Just the thought of what happened the last time we left drinks alone with Mother." Y/N's face fell for a moment before a small smile crept across herface.
"She's already succeeded in what she intended, love," her honeyed voice slipped through my consciousness. "And I'm quite certain she won't do that shit again with the guests around. Not to mention she doesn't want a repeat of what happened afterward." I couldn't help but chuckle.
"She isn't ready to let go of Celeste yet, but I've seen how Simon and my dear sister look at one another. That's a family of four in the making right there."
"In any case, you should get back out there," she said on a chuckle. "Regardless of my current state of pregnancy, I'm certain your mother has more in mind for us. I don't know what just yet because I can't hear her, but there's this niggling suspicion in the back of my mind that just screams 'Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!'."
"Alright," I said as she tried to splash me, "I'm going. Let me know if you need anything, ok? Like if you want me to wash your back. Or your front. Or..."
"Would you shut up and get out of here already?" Y/N said with a laugh as she threw a wet washcloth at me. I couldn't help but laugh as well and quickly backed out of the bathroom before something else could come flying at me. My chuckles followed me from room to room as I made my way back to the group. And upon arriving in the room with everyone, I knew exactly what Y/N meant by the 'Danger, Will Robinson!' comment.
"Its about time you made it out of there," Reggie chided playfully. "Thought you'd decided to make another baby before the first one got out of there."
"I had that same thought," my sister giggled.
"Busted," I said as I joined them on the floor around the coffee table. Everyone had gathered round it and faced the television.
"Actually, Adrian," Gregory began, "we've been out here looking for wedding gifts for you and Y/N while you were in there and we have a few ideas we want to run past you, see if you like them or want to change something. You up for it?"
"Sure," I said. "Y/N's been talking about getting some things for around the house for a bit now."
"Then these will be perfect!" Celeste clapped happily.
"Ok, so I've managed to pair my tablet with the television," Mother said, "so all you have to do is look on the screen and tell me what you think." As soon as Mother finished speaking I knew I'd fucked up. I could almost feel the sinister laughter coming from everyone's minds as they began their presentation, my mouth suddenly becoming dry with each selection they showed me. And lust. A whole lot of lust.
"I thought these would be nice to ensure I have more grandchildren," Mother said. I didn't hear anything else that was said afterwards as I was already thinking about the things I would do to Y/N if she wore these, and mostly trying not to imagine how long they'd stay in their completed state as opposed to the fabric wreckage I could see if I had my way.
"What are you guys doing out there?" I heard her voice in my mind, which really didn't help with my wayward lustful images roaming through as they will.
"Nothing, my love," I responded knowing it was a full out lie. "They're teasing me again, and you know how perverted the Belmonts are."
"Don't blame that shit on Simon, Adrian. I know better," she snapped back. "You're as much of a pervert as the rest of them, so it must mean they're showing you lingerie and shit again."
"Yes. Yes they are. And I like it. A lot." I instantly heard her laughter from the bathroom and found I couldn't control my own mirth.
"Just so you know," she said, "I have a few other things I have to pick up for you, too."
"Oh no. I'm afraid."
"You should be, my love. I still haven't used a couple of those flavored gels on you," she teased. "Not to mention the blindfold, handcuffs and that vibrating stimulator." I could feel the tingle roll down my spine, wrap around my waist and send pulses to my groin, which I desperately tried to make go away before anyone else noticed. Y/N, however, wouldn't let it go as she sent me mental images ofeverything she'd spoken of: the settings, lighting, what one of the items she would use (one being of all of them at the same time), and I finally lost whatever control I had. This spurred me to say something I'd probably regret later on.
"Ok, I've decided," I said aloud. "I want all of them. Every. Single. One. Even the ones you all thought Y/N would be too embarrassed to wear. Order them all." I made sure to speak up loudly enough for the little minx in the bathtub to hear me clearly, and heard her laughing back. This flirt war was going to get more heated as time passed and I, for one, couldn't wait to see what happened.
