It was around 3am. Bayley's wedding was later in the day, but, at this point, none of her closest friends were even sure if that was still happening. After what happened at The Power Plant, Alexa hurriedly chased her ex back to the house that once housed everyone in their close circle. It was there that Bayley tearfully begged for more wine and passed out on the couch.

Alexa sat back on her knees, her head propped up by a hand. Bayley slept soundly on a couch pillow resting in Alexa's lap. Dakota was standing in the kitchen, cleaning up some of the mess the bachelorette party made. Becky and Evan were passed out on the opposite end of the couch from where Alexa and Bayley were, comically spooning with each other in their drunken passed out state.

Alexa's head dropped, snapping her awake with a start. Dakota shuffled into the living room, offering her girlfriend a warm cup of coffee and a kiss to the forehead.

"How is she?" Dakota whispered, watching Bayley sleep peacefully.

Alexa sighed. "Drank more, then passed out. Last thing she said was, 'I have pretty Sarah's number! Her boobies are super cool!' Then, psshh... out like a light."

Dakota giggled hushly. "She's just like you, love."

Alexa leaned her head back, giving Dakota the opening to softly peck her on the lips. Dakota offered another kiss to the forehead, then a kiss to the cheek.

"What did she say about today?" Dakota asked.

Alexa shook her head.

"Last thing she said about it was, 'I don't wanna do this! I hate her!'," Alexa paused for a moment to sigh. "I don't know what to do. I want her to bail on the wedding, but I know she's too much of a good person to want to break Ember's heart. Which makes zero fucking sense..."

Dakota collected Alexa's cup after she was finished with her coffee.

"Coming to bed?" Dakota asked.

Alexa soothingly stroked Bayely's hair, making the hugger smile in her sleep.

"Yeah, I'm coming," Alexa replied.

Bliss slowly lifted the pillow supporting Bayley's head. After quickly slipping off the couch, Alexa lowered Bayley back into place. The sound asleep woman stirred slightly, but then clutched tightly to the pillow and began snoring.

Dakota was the first into the master bedroom. She finally had the chance to kick her shoes off and release her hair from the high ponytail it had been in since earlier in the afternoon. Just as Dakota turned towards the closet, Alexa wrapped an arm around her slim waist and pulled her in for a heated kiss to the lips. Dakota melted into the kiss with a smile, setting her hands on each of Alexa's hips.

Alexa broke the kiss, leaning her forehead against Dakota's.

"You're my everything, baby," Alexa whispered, pulling Dakota in closer. "I see that look you give me whenever I do something nice for Bayley. I get what you're thinking, but there's zero chance I'm fucking us up."

Dakota sounded a single chuckle. Her hands slid further up Alexa's back before taking her in for a warm embrace.

"Mine," Dakota stated simply.

"Always," Alexa replied.

Dakota nestled her face in Alexa's neck, taking in the scent of flowery perfume but also wine and fryer grease. In the many years she'd been on this planet, Dakota had never felt as loved as she did with Alexa. Dakota wanted Alexa to know that every time they were together, but she wasn't really sure how to express it with words.

"We'll worry about the wedding in the morning," Alexa said, taking a step back to look Dakota in the eye. "Let's just relax for now, ok?"

Dakota smirked. "Would you marry me?"

Alexa smirked, trying to look tough, but quickly broke into a fit of giggles.

"That better not be your proposal," Alexa joked.

"Is that a yes?"

Alexa bit her bottom lip.

"I love you more than anything. Let's see that ring first, babe."

Dakota gripped the waistband of Alexa's jeans and pulled her close again. They didn't kiss; They stayed forehead-to-forehead, just locking gazes while they held each other. It was no surprise when each young woman found themselves a few moments later, tangled up under the sheets while they stripped away each layer of clothing.

Dakota laid on her back, staring wide-eyed at Alexa as the blonde straddled her lap. Alexa slid her hands down Dakota's sides, her fingers curling around her panties.

"Babe?" Dakota breathed, sitting up partially as Alexa was about to undress her further.

Alexa released her grip.

"Is it ok?" She whispered, crawling back up the bed to lay face-to-face with her lover.

Dakota sighed, then pecked Alexa's lips.

"You'd make the best wife, ever."

Alexa dropped her head, trying to muffle the giggles in Dakota's shoulder. Dakota wrapped her arms around Alexa's shoulders, joining her blonde girlfriend in a hushed, yet hearty, laughter session.

After regaining their composure, Alexa kissed her way lower on Dakota's body. Dakota's breath hitched and she soon forgot why she ever had any reason to resist Bliss' temptations.

Bayley was nervous; That much was certain. Not so much with the upcoming wedding itself, but whether or not she was going to take her best friend's advice and not marry Ember all together.

Even with the abuse she'd been suffering for over five years, part of Bayley still liked and cared for Ember. It was a tragic situation given the victim of domestic assault was even considering staying with her abuser. But, because Bayley hated disappointing people she cared about, part of her wanted to still go through with today.

"What are you thinking, Bay?" Alexa asked her ex.

Bayley, Dakota, Becky, Eva, and Bayley crowded a table in Big Dave's dining room. They agreed on a carb-heavy breakfast following a night of heavy drinking, even though Dakota didn't drink a whole lot while Alexa didn't drink at all.

Bayley sat in silence, picking at her pancakes while nibbling at her crispy bacon. Alexa looked worryingly at her girlfriend, but Dakota didn't know how to break through to Bayley either.

"Bayley?" Alexa spoke up.

Bayley, her head still hung, sipped at her chocolate milk.

"I dunno..." She muttered quietly, raising her shoulders before letting them drop.

"Do you want to get married?" Eva asked.

Bayley shook her head.

"Then why haven't you said anything?" Becky asked.

"I don't know," Bayley sputtered, a light mist of tears welling in her eyes.

Alexa sighed. Bayley finally admitted she didn't want to go through with the marriage, but for whatever reason didn't want to break things to Ember. Why that was the reason was easier to guess than it was to pry out of Bayley herself.

The front door collided with the bell hanging in the way. Alexa looked up as she took a large gulp of her diet soda. A broad smile overtook her lips as two long lost gentlemen made their ways through the crowded eatery.

Finn, trying to keep his two rowdy children under wraps, knelt beside Bayley near the end of the table. AJ, cradling his son in his arms, sat beside Bayley in an empty chair.

"Ok if I sit here?" AJ asked, propping his boy on his knee.

Bayley looked up, an excited squeal of delight sounding from her throat when she realized who had arrived. Alexa looked to her best friend's wives, who each just shrugged and smiled at the reunion happening before them.

"What the heck are you guys doing here?" Bayley exclaimed with tearier eyes.
