Empty Fingers

A Mini Miller

Barney
Mia and I eloped after all the headaches of the other weddings we went to. We did it a year ago without anyone knowing. Hr knew it and was sworn to secrecy by us until we could get past all these weddings taking place. Mia is going to announce our marriage on New Year's Day. She moved in with me already and has opened her own restaurant thanks to me. We have known each other since I started working for Christian. She just saw me as the nerdy tech guy. After she saw me in a suit at an event she saw a different me. I dress like that for her and events.

Mia
We had a three day honeymoon and we moved my things in after that, but gradually. Mom and dad caught in when they saw me fluffing my closet to make it look like there were more things in there than there really was. We had not planned on getting pregnant so soon. But life has a way of changing your paths. Now we have to announce it after we come clean to our families. I am three months pregnant now and I can't keep it from mom any longer because she has caught me seeing dr Greene and I couldn't come up with anything good to tell her why I had to see dr Greene for except a female issue. Of course mom wanted to know more than that being a doctor. Then Ruth, Robert and Anastasia caught me and they didn't believe me but decided to wait until I was ready to tell them why I needed tests?

Grace
Mia has invited the Millers over and the rest of the family. She has something important to tell us. We get everything ready to go to Barney's home. We arrive moments apart and the parking area is huge. We haven't seen the others since they got back from the island. We arrive with mom and dad and our security. They still haven't caught Amos Daugherty and he is still sending threats. He was the guy who was behind Mia's nearly being kidnapped. We hope someone has got him behind bars, but we have no idea where he is at. So we have security constantly.

Carrick
I help get things from the car and carry them in for the ladies. They brought covered dishes to a chefs home. Plus nice bottles of wine. This is the first time we have been to Barney's house. The doors open up and we are welcomed inside by Mia and Barney and instructed to join them in the kitchen. We are given instructions to get there. We look at the home as we head to the enormous space before us. The kitchen is amazing and it's a chefs dream kitchen. I would say Barney planned on having Mia cooking here. He had it built before they started dating. We hand the carried dishes to them and we see they have a lot of food and they have a wine rack and cooler. Everyone arrives and Theo and Madison have been taking a tour of the house during our kitchen visit.

Elliott
I am shocked to hear Mia and Barney welcoming us and giving instructions to get to the kitchen. We brought a gift for them. We didn't bring food because we can't cook. I see the grandparents and then Anastasia and Christian arrive with goodies that she made. We barely saw each other on the island and that was a good thing.

Kate
I know he is remembering our island exploits. We had a lot of time to get full suntans all over. We had meals served to us and we spent the other times naked. I love my tan and not one tan line. It was great there.

Bob Miller
We arrive and brought something to eat as well. We finally meet everyone.

Sue Miller
We finally meet everyone and I am aware that Christian is married to Rays daughter now. Tara and Tia are out of luck where he is concerned. We head to the huge kitchen and the girls follow us in there.

Tara
There aren't any single men in this group. I now wished we hadn't came. Well single men without dates that is. Elliott is with Kate.

Tia
I think Tara and I can't wait until we leave this so called party. Finally people are moving to the dining room. Everything has been set up perfectly.

Mia
We start dinner and we finally get the nerve to tell our family we eloped over a year ago. We then tell them that we are going to have a baby in six months. It was shocking at first and a disappointment because we didn't have an actual wedding. Both sets of parents want to have something for us.

Barney
Mia and I got through telling everyone in our families. It's done and Elliott has another announcement. He wants us all to know. Our families want to throw us a party of some kind.

Elliott
I tell my family that Kate and I are engaged to be married and we are having the wedding ceremony after Kate sets a date. Both Mia and Barney look relieved about us having a wedding. They won't get off the hook that easily, both sets of parents and our grandparents want some kind of celebration of their marriage.

Kate
I am going to have to tell mom and dad about my engagement soon and then the wedding planning goes into full swing. Grace has nothing on my mom when it comes to a wedding. She has my dress already sewn and fitted. My shoes, my veil, my trousseaux and the new, the borrowed and the blue all ready to go. The colors of the wedding and then the bride and groom cake topper. The date, the place, the time and who will be attending. The matron of honor and bridesmaid dresses are already designed they just need to be sized and the colors selected.

Mia
I am hugged and kissed by everyone, I am also told there will be something to celebrate our marriage.

Barney
Everyone hugs us and congratulates us, but they want something to celebrate our marriage. We congratulate Kate and Elliott.

Finally everyone has left and we can finally relax. We have the staff clean up before they leave for the night.
