"I asked Dean about kids," she said, not looking at Nikki

"Oh yeah?" Nikki asked, glancing at her

"It wasn't good news, he said he wasn't ready for kids," Jade said, wiping under her eyes

"Are you serious?" Nikki asked, looking at her shocked, Jade nodded

"I can't believe him," Nikki elaborated, shocked

"I'm trying so hard to understand," she replied

Jade shushed her as she heard the door open

"Seth wants a smoothie," Dean said, looking at Jade who didn't meet his eyes, she just moved out of his way

Dean sighed and went over and began blending Seth's smoothie

"I'm upset? News to me," she said

"So you're not upset?" Dean asked

"No, I'm fine," she said getting up
"Get those on the grill, I smell like chicken, I'm gonna shower and I'll be out," she said, pecking his lips as she passed

She heard Dean sigh behind her but she shook her head and keep walking up the stairs

She quickly took a shower and put on her green sweater over her black tank top with some blue jeans

She walked back down and sat near Nikki and Dean on either side of her

"I'd like to make a toast, to everyone here, having a great night, thank you all for coming, and to my beautiful wife who made this possible," Dean said

She sighed and raked a hand through her hair and grabbed two beers, pulling off her green cover up, she picked back up the beers and walked back out

"So you wore my favourite tank top on you, did you wear my favourite pair of you underwear? You know, the red ones with the lace?" Dean asked, giving her an amused look as she walked back out
