Dinner was anything but quite.
It was nice to be a family again, one huge family.
Everyone who was related to someone was there.
It's like Thanksgiving or Christmas, but less intense. Plus, I'm old enough to drink the wine.
After dinner the dads loaded up the dish washer and washed anything that couldn't fit or wasn't dish washer safe.
The rest of us sat in the living room and chatted.
I was in Derek's lap as we chatted with Kelly and Finn.
"I have to use the woman's room," I said as I got up.
Derek held my waist. "You're leaving me?"
"Only for like five minutes," I giggled.
We kissed each other letting out lips linger on each others before pulling away.
I headed up stairs to use the bath room.
Once I was down washing my hands Finn walks in grinning.
"Hey sexy!" he said grinning.
"Get out," I said giving him a look.
He instead closed the door. "What's up with you and Derek? First he's an ass then he's you're love monkey?"
"I didn't say that,"
"It was implied,"
"Yeah, well, lot's of things are implied. I got to go,"
"No, tell me," Finn said backing me into a corner.
I started into his green eyes and he stared into mine. "I got over it, although, his ass is still on the sofa,"
Finn smirked as he rested his hands on my hips. "You know, we never finished our kiss,"
"What?"
"Don't play dumb,"
"I'm not playing anything. I never kissed you,"
"Yet, you were about to,"
"I was caught up in the moment. You can't hold that against me,"
"Just kiss me,"
"No,"
"Why? Derek-Poo will find out?"
"I don't call him that and no. I'm engaged!"
"So?"
"You're impossible,"
"I know," he grinned.
I pushed him out of my way and walked down stairs.
"Hey," I said walking over to Derek.
I kissed him and sat in his lap again.
John, Kelly, Derek and I were engaged in a conversation when Finn walked over.
"It's almost happy hour," he reminded Derek and I.
"Oh, shit," we muttered together.
"We should just head out now," Derek said.
"Head where?" my mom asked.
"Happy hour with the guys," I explained hugging her.
After Finn, Derek and I hugged and kissed everyone we were free to go.
We meet the guys at the bar.

The next morning I woke up and got ready for work.
As I walked down stairs I saw that Derek was still asleep on the sofa.
"You're late!" I shouted and he jumped up.
"Thanks," he said running to our room.
I made us breakfast and coffee.
We were out pretty late last night.
The day ran as normal until I came home, early.
I headed to my room and went straight for my pillow. I had a new idea for my bakery.
I slid my hand in the pillow case and nothing was there.
