Gabby watches as Throne rush towards the basin and throws up before Lily joins him as well, she covers her own mouth feeling sick herself.
"What a perfect couple they make" Bo comments as she runs her hand through Gage's hair who groans putting his forehead on the cold table.
"Take these, you will feel better" Ricardo suggests as he pushes the Advil and water his way.
"No more drinks" he protests.
"It's just water" Ricardo chuckles before the guy takes it.
"You should go lie down for a while" Ricardo suggests as he watches Throne.
"I feel like I might die"
"A glass of lemon water and it will be fine or a glass of something stronger" Paige voice makes everyone to turn to face the girl.
"How are you unaffected?" Throne accuses.
"Unlike you I know how to hold onto my drink" she winks his way before taking the cup of coffee from Ricardo's hand.
"Thanks" she smiles before spitting out the drink and checking on the cup.
"What in devil..."
"Black coffee without sugar" he replies, and she shudders.
"I can never out a trust on the man who drinks coffee like this" she groans before putting the cup away.
"Paige when did you arrive?" Lily asks as she hugs her cousin.
"It was the year..."
"Cut the crap, we waited for hours in the airport for you, where were you?" Gabriel's booming voice makes the girl laugh while both Throne and Gage groan in pain.
"Uncle" Paige grins as she goes to hug him.
"You mom has been worried sick"
"I already talked with dad, don't worry, how are you?" she asks kissing on his cheek.
"Wait till Damien sees you" he sighs before she goes to sit beside him.
*******
"You all were together last night?" Gabby asks and Paige smiles nodding her head.
"How did you know?" she asks looking from Paige to Ricardo.
"We have a business with pleasure kind of relation" Paige winks making Gabby frown.
"What?"
"Anyways, make him some lemon water else he cannot wait for our lily in the aisle tomorrow, and even if the idea is tempting, I don't want to be the reason for someone's wedding being off" Paige speaks.
"We just thought you were not coming" Gabriel smiles at the girl.
"I was not but then again, but I had to check how can someone corrupt our little Lily under your nose" Paige winks at Lily who blushes.
"Your mother asked to find some good breed men"
"Ooh men, but it's too early for the discussion of an orgy, uncle" she sighs while Bo coughs at the words.
"Paige"
"I will be out for the whole day, why don't you tell mom I am on a date?" she asks making him sigh.
"I wish my daughters were as stubborn as you when it came to marriage, Arson is really lucky"
"See you guys on wedding day" Paige smiles jumping off the chair.
"Wait wedding day, are you not joining us for dinner?" Gabriel shouts at the girl.
"How can I, Uncle, I am on a date" she winks before walking away.
"This girl" Gabriel sighs shaking his head.
*******
"How did you know Paige?" Gabby asks as she follows her husband.
"Business" he replies.
"Where were you last night? You did not join me in bed" she asks, and he just quietly pulls his shirt off his body.
"Everyone was drunk last night"
"So, you were with Paige?" Gabby asks and Ricardo stops to face her.
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know, she seems to be very comfortable with you"
"We have done few dealings in past" he clarifies.
"Still, what dealings makes any girl so"
"Are you jealous?" he asks, and she just stands folding her hands.
"You don't have to, you have been the only girl for me for more than a decade" he assures her.
"Then why did you not come to bed last night"
"I was drunk and mad at you for yesterday and if I had slept on same bed with you, we both know how much of a bad idea it would have been"
"So, where did you sleep?"
"Not with Paige for sure" he teases making her pout.
"Your father offered me the couch in the study room" he informs making her laugh.
"So, I do not have to worry about Paige?"
"She is your cousin, you should know about her more than me"
"Paige is not too close to anyone of us, she is just there and that's it"
"I met her through Nicholson, I respect Paige that's it. She has been helpful in many of things" he states, and she sighs.
"About those strippers we are not doing it"
"Oh yeah?" he smiles as he pulls her closer to him.
"Lily refused to cheat on Throne even when we told it was just fun"
"See, where were you when you sister was learning all of these?" he teases making her hit him on the arm.
"I was with you, remember, all the time" she replies making him laugh.
*******
"Friends, family and Amelia" Gabriel starts as he holds a toast in his hand getting everyone's attention.
"Tonight, we gather to not welcome Throne in our family because he already is, but to celebrate the fact that I am finally old enough to be a grandfather" he speaks making them laugh.
"Two of my daughters have found the love of their life even if I would like to corner them and beat the shit for taking my daughters away from me...
But I cannot as they lured me with promises of many grandkids, and I am sold. To the past, present and future Price" he makes the toasts, and everyone murmurs his words as they take their drink.
"Hey how are you feeling?" Damon asks Throne as hey sit around the table.
"I am good just a headache but nothing to worry about" he smiles.
"No drinks please" Tulip walks towards her husband and touches, his shoulder.
"Apple juice, baby" he grins as he holds her hand and kisses the back of it.
"You alright?" she asks as she runs her hand through Throne's hair caringly.
"Better already" he smiles as he touches her belly.
"Are they giving you any trouble?" he asks.
"They are a bit naughty, but we are good"
"They?" Ricardo raises a brow.
"It's twin"
"Oh, congrats" Ricardo smiles.
"It's in the genes" Damon grins proudly before Tulip leave the group.
"Hey what are you busy at?" Damon asks staring at Nicholson who puts the phone away.
"Nothing"
"Stop working so much and chill for a while, will you?" Throne suggest and Nicholson nods as he puts his phone away.
"It's time we find him a girl maybe then he will loosen up a bit" Throne suggests.
"Yeah, even Gage found someone"
"Yeah, Bo is hot" Gage grins as he takes a handful of chips.
"I don't need anyone to be my matchmaker" Nicholson sighs.
"Yeah, you have always been the one to do things on your own"
"Or perhaps, she gets bored and come searching for her own prince charming" Throne teases making Nicholson stiffen a bit.
"Leave him alone, he will get settled down when the time is right" Ricardo smiles as he watches his friend who clears his throat as his phone buzzes once again.
"Who's Red alert?" Gage asks as he peeks through Nicholson's phone.
"Business" Nicholson excuses himself as he walks away.
"He is too stiff" Throne sighs as he puts his leg on the table and closes his eyes.
*******
"Nicole is here" Nicholas voice makes the family to turn to stare at the door.
Nicole grins as she hugs her big brother before she is passed on to each of her other brother.
"Finally," Gabriel smiles as he stares at Nicole who rolls her eyes.
"Shut it" she warns before she hugs Amelia.
"Gosh, you are going to be mother-in-law and grandmother at once I am so jealous"
"Why did you not inform you were coming tonight?" Nicholas asks as greets Arson.
"We were planning on coming tomorrow, but Paige" he replies as he searches the room for his daughter.
"She has gone out" Gabriel informs.
"On a date?" Nicole asks hopefully.
"Uh" Gabriel looks around the room not wanting to lie to his sister.
"Oh man, he was so hot" Paige voice makes her mother to turn around to check on her daughter before gasping.
"Paige, what happened to you?" Nicole gasps as she eyes her daughter whose lipstick was smeared, hair was a mess and dress rumpled.
"Dad" Paige smiles as she runs to hug her father.
"Why are you dressed as that?" Nicole asks as she goes to check on her daughter who just smiles and hugs her.
"I need a drink first" she waves her hands.
"Go get changed first" Nicole orders but Paige just waves her hands before she walks to where Damon and everyone were drinking.
"Chill mom"
"There are men in the house" Nicole reminds making Paige roll her eyes as she faces her mother.
"What kind of men have our uncles associated that a woman has to be wary of the way she dresses and mom, I am literally hiding my basic parts and if any of you think it's inappropriate then you all should ashamed of yourselves" she finalizes as she puts the glass down.
"Paper" Arson calls for his daughter who sighs before she dashes to his side.
"I know, I know can we move on and focus on the bride and groom to be?" she asks her father before smiling at Lily and changing her mind.
"Mission abort do not focus on the bride especially mom" she teases.
"Where did you come from?" Arson asks his daughter as he wipes her smeared lipstick and pats on her hair.
"Date a wild one" she winks as she holds his hand and twirls around.
"Paper" he chuckles making her sigh.
"I was just sleeping"
"But you said you were going out" Gage chimes in.
"Yeah, I was out. Out of the house" she states.
*******
"She did not trouble, much did she?" Nicole asks as she eyes her daughter hollering loudly as Damien throws his cards down on defeat.
"Oh no, no, she is just"
"Don't I know" Nicole sighs worrying about her daughter.
"Relax, she has good head on her shoulders, she will be fine" Grace assures her.
"I don't know why she refuses to get settled down, even Lily has found someone, and my daughter is getting old and rowdy...
Maybe this is how god plans to punish me for all the wild days I had" she sighs before Kathleen holds her hand.
"How's Nikolai?" she asks trying to distract Nicole.
"Flying around the world, he thinks he needs to find himself and I have no idea what that means" she laughs.
*******
"Hey, have you guys practiced the father-daughter dance?" Paige asks as she plops beside her father and munches on.
"Not exactly" Lily replies softly.
"Oh damn, then we need to do it. A wedding is not complete without it. Come on" Paige encourages as she pushes her father to pull Gabriel.
"It's okay, we will manage" Gabriel waves his hand.
"Oh, come on uncle, do not make her pull you with my greasy hands" she wiggles her fingers before Gage jumps to set the song.
"Couple dance" Angelo shouts as he goes to pull Hazel.
"Hey" Galterio shouts as he puts the plate of chips down to catch them, but Angelo already starts to dance.
"If you are not feeling well, tell okay?" Gabriel smiles as he holds his daughter and they start to slowly dance in the song.
"Are you okay dad?" Lily asks worried as she stares at his eyes.
"Of course, I am"
"So, you are not mad or anything?" she asks again making him shakes his head.
"I can never stay mad at you sweetheart, I just want you to be happy"
"Thank you" Lily smiles as she puts her head on his chest.

"You should wish same as Lily" Gabriel scolds his daughter who laughs as she hugs Lily from behind.
"What?" Gabby asks.
"That I will be your father in every life" Gabriel states proudly.
"No thanks, I will pass" Gabby teases her father but before he could say anything his eyes lands on his wife dancing with Russo.
"Russo, you bastard" he grumbles as he kisses on both his daughter's head and rush to his wife's side.
"Go take you own wife to dance, leave mine" Gabriel shouts as he pulls Amelia to his side and Russo grins as he makes his way towards Gabby.

"Ah bloody hell Russo" Gabriel shouts as he greets his old friend to the ceremony before kissing the back of Alana's hand.
"Do you ever age?" he asks making Alana roll her eyes.
"Treat me well Gabe, your daughter is now my in-law, so you better behave" she teases making the man gasps.
"Then shall I double her dowry" he plays in.
"Hmm, not a bad idea are we talking just about cash or?" she leaves.
"Penny, I will double the penny"
"Just as ruthless as ever" Alana sighs before she hugs Amelia.

"Why do I feel that you are teasing me?" he asks, and she just rolls her eyes.
"Of course not, Bo can you see my panty line?" she shouts, and Bo checks her before shouting nope.
"Unbelievable" Ricardo mutters shaking his head.
"See, this is how my childhood was ruined" Gage states.
"Hazel honey your basket" Katie calls the girl.
"Is she not the cutest flower girl ever" Galterio grins as he shifts Hazel's crown on place.
"No, she is not" Paige drops in as she hands her shoes to Galterio.
"Don't loose it, I need that to look taller than Nicholson" she speaks before asking for a bobby pin.
"Where's Lily?" Katie asks.
"In her room, you know the whole crying after watching the daughter and telling she is the most beautiful bride ever and crying some more...
Uncle Gabe is bringing her out, so where the shots?" she asks looking around.
"Don't you have a hangover?" Gage asks.
"Not all of us are cursed to have one. Oh no, Lily is pregnant" Paige groans as she hits her forehead.

"Don't pass out" he teases Throne who chuckles as he flexes his fingers watching Hazel and Tracie drop the flowers on the floor, but Tracie stops mid walk and turns to look back before she runs back.
"Ni...Ni" she calls out for her uncle and Nicholson appears to grab the little girl and picks her up.
"Come on, we need to finish this.
"Is that part of the ceremony?" Galterio asks as Nicholson walks out holding the basket and Tracie while the little girl throws the petals of flower with both hands squealing.
"Why?" Bo asks the boy.
"Well, then I will have to carry Hazel" Galterio shrugs his shoulders.
"Shut up" Bo laughs and watches as Nicholson hands Tracie to Hazel before he drops a kiss on both the girl's head.
"No fucking way" Angelo gasps as Nicholson kisses on Hazel's forehead.

Throne helps Lily to move forwards before Gabby grabs the flower from her sister's hand with a smile.
"Are you okay?" Throne asks to Lily who smiles.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are here gathered...." The priest begins the ceremony.
"Why did you have to kiss her?" Galterio asks as he nudges Nicholson who turns around to raise a brow at him.
"What?" he mouths at the boy.
"If she starts to have a crush on you, I will kill you" he grumbles and Nicholson grins as he wraps his arms around his brother and puts pressure on his neck.
"Shut up" he chuckles as Galterio hits on his back.
"The rings" the priest asks, and Damon pulls out the box from his pocket.
As the exchange of rings happens Throne vows to love and protect Lily, promising to never leave her or hurt her while Lily vows the same. Gabby tilts her head to watch at her husband and Ricardo smiles at her as he mouths that he loves her, and she smiles at him.
Throne pushes the veil off Lily's head and smiles as he softly cups her face and caresses her cheek, Lily holds onto his wrist as she stares into his eyes feeling all the love and vulnerability he was trying to show her and she nods her head as he presses his forehead towards her whispers his love to her as his lips touches her full of hope and promises.
