Bachelor/Bachelorette Party
Bachelor/Bachelorette Party
The Night Before The Wedding
A Primus, Two Alphas, and A Beta stood silently in the castle with their heads tilted. Watching the loves of their lives laugh toast largely long penis shaped ice pops. Elijah whispered.
“You all see the penis pops right? I’m not having hallucinations, am I?" Demetri shook his head no.
“I too see the multicolored items…but what are the different colors for?” Sterling chuckled.
“To measure.”
“To measure what?”
Sterling laughed again and Demetri froze. The four tilted their heads to the other side. They listened to the sister’s banter as Alexus pointed to hers.
“First I was yellow! But now I’m red look!”
Alexus shoved the pop into her mouth. Demetri looked mortified as the three wolves smirks reached the top of their foreheads. Sterling grinned.
“No wonder you’ve been so weird. I thought you had wedding day jitters, but Alexus twisted that cape again didn’t she?!”
“OH FUCK OFF STERLING!” His face the shade of the curtains, he muttered. “She has managed to return me to my youth. I find myself smiling and batting my lashes at her like an absolute idiot. First the hips, now this, I most certainly won’t survive.” Rachel clapped.
“Way to go! I’m personally a green woman myself.” Their mouths dropped as she repeated Alexus action, pushing it further down. Elijah growled.
“DON’T FUCKING START!” Sterling sneered.
“IIIII was just about to say it makes sense why you look a bit skinny now. If the way she inhaled that popsicle is any indication of what she does to your front, no wonder you have nothing in the back. Rachel is literally eating you alive.” Elijah reached to grab Sterling’s throat, but Demetri caught his hands. He arched his brow.
“But Sterling, didn’t you say that Morgan could-“ Alexus squealed interrupting his statement.
“OH MY GOODNESS! What about you Morg?” Rachel grinned.
“Hell, Morgan could probably eat the stick my now.” Morgan twisted her lips up.
“Hm…” and placed the popsicle in her mouth. Sterling hit the record button on his phone and Jordan choked on his juice seeing her.
“FUCKING HELL!” He screamed as he watched the entire ice pop and stick disappear and Morgan take a bow. Sterling smiled proudly and wiped a pretend tear.
“An eight ball through a garden hose. YOU’RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE!” He turned the recording off and nudged Demetri. “She keeps give Alexus’s tips, you’re going to have to borrow Jordan’s life alert.” He turned to Jordan and pushed another button on his phone. “ANNNNDD SEND!”
“What did yo-“ Jordan choked on his juice for a second time as he watched the boomerang Sterling created. Sterling smirked.
“Oh please, don’t act like you didn’t want the video. I’m your twin, I know you better than anybody.” Jordan shook his head. Placing a noogie in his brother's hair, he laughed and saved the video. Walking over, the sisters eyed them.
“Why are you all still here? This is a BACHELORETTE and you’re not invited.” Sterling rolled his eyes.
“Please okay. Demetri’s bachelor party is happening at our house and we’re on our way there now.”
“I told you I didn’t want a party, Sterling,” Sterling growled at Demetri.
“My Primus Pudding Pop, I love you but you are REALLY blowing my natural high okay? It’s done. We’re going to have a great time and YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT BECAUSE I WORKED HARD, SO APPRECIATE YOUR BEST MAN!” He placed his hand on his chest. “You see how he does me Little Red? I worked so HARD! You know how difficult it is to find authentic gauntlets, coat of arms, crests, and dragons! I worked so hard to make him feel like we were still in his time!” Demetri seethed.
“I AM NOT FROM THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD!” Sterling scoffed.
“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?! Besides, that’s the earliest party decorations I could find besides Pre-historic. I started to go with that, but Demetri I’ve seen your feet…nobody would have a good time.”
Demetri and Sterling squared off and Jordan and Elijah quickly separated them. Jordan leaned down and kissed Morgan.
“You ladies have a great time.”
Alexus watched in humor as Demetri quarreled with the others as they left.
“He fits right in doesn’t he?”
------------------------------------------------
“OOOOOHHHHHH IS MY MAN DEMETRI RIC FLAIR VAMP GOING TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE?!” Demetri looked at Sterling in horror as he shoved the Kool-Aid in his face.
“ABSOLUTELY NOT! I AM NEVER DRINKING THE DEVIL’S NECTAR AGAIN!” He stood and walked out into the hall away from the party. Sighing, Demetri placed his hands in his pockets and paced back and forth.
“You aren’t thinking about doing something stupid to piss me off are you?” Demetri's body froze as he heard Terrence's large body enter the hallway. He turned and faced him.
“NO! OF COURSE NOT!” Terrence arched his brow.
“Really? Because from where I’m standing, I see someone contemplating running.” He folded his arms to his chest. “But surely I’m mistaken because you wouldn’t hurt Lil Bit that way again now would ya?” Demetri inhaled and exhaled.
“No…I would never do that to her again. I just-I worry that I won’t be a good husband and father you know? I’m incredibly happy and I worry that I’ll do something to mess it up.” He looked Terrence in the eye. “But no sir, I have no intention on running ever again.”
Terrence nodded and placed his large hand onto Demetri’s shoulder. “Let’s go outside.” Demetri’s eyes widened.
“NO! I PROMISE I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO WARRANT A PUBLIC ASS WHOOPING!” Terrence laughed wildly.
“Aw boy hush up. I just want to talk without all the noise.”
As the two left the house, they found their way onto the large porch. Terrence smiled. “Ain’t nothing wrong with the way you feeling. In fact, I would go as far as to say I’m glad that you do. Because that means you acknowledge there’s still work to be done. And at the same time, you also acknowledge that you’re going to do that work.” Demetri hadn’t thought about it that way, and he gave Terrence a smile in return.
“Thank you.”
Terrence nodded and then reached into his back pocket. “After our little talk, Mavier kept me informed about everything. And he told me that you’d gone to therapy and that you’d started a list.” He fumbled with the same paper. “You know, I talked to him a few days before he passed, and he asked me to do two favors for him.” He handed Demetri a small slip of paper. “He asked me to give you that and told me to tell you that when you feel it’s true, add it to your list.” Demetri opened the small slip of paper, and his hands shook as he read Mavier’s writing.
”I am an amazing son. I am an amazing husband. I am amazing.”
His glassy eyes looked at the large wolf who gave him a genuine nod. “Mavier always knew you and Lil Bit would be just fine. Takes a lot for a man to love a woman so much he lets go so she can be happy. We both knew you two would find your way back together. That’s why he asked me to wait until the night before your wedding to give you that.”
“It’s like he always seems to know when I need him the most.” Terrence grinned.
“Just wait until you look at your child for the first time, you’ll get it. Lijah and you may not have come from Mavier and I, but that don’t mean our Spidey senses don’t go off the moment you’re in trouble.” He held another piece of paper up. “Now, the second thing he asked me to do. He wanted me to give you his list of things about himself that made him happy.”
Demetri pulled his hand over his mouth and took the paper and Terrence stood. “You take your time, and then you come on in here and celebrate with the people who are here to celebrate you.”
Demetri nodded and Terrence walked away and stopped and paused. Pulling Demetri up, he wrapped his humongous arms around him and held him close. “I know you miss ya dad boy, but I also know you’re going to be okay. You have so much family around you now, you hear me? You call anyone of us up and we there. Don’t you for one second think you have to go at this alone.” He released him. “Now, get your ass ready to handle your business tomorrow like your father taught you or Imma whoop your ass on his behalf. You understand?”
The two chuckled, and Terence left Demetri to read Mavier’s list. “I love you, dad. Thank you for everything.” He murmured before returning to resurrect Demetri Ric Flair Vamp.

“COME OUT ALEXUS! WE WANT TO SEE!!” Morgan, Rachel, Stacy, and Diane bounced up and down on the bed. She laughed.
“OH MY GOODNESS MRS. ANNIE I-“ She emerged from the bathroom. The iridescent lavender shoulder dress gleamed against her skin. Its high slit showed her long legs perfectly. She ran her hands under the flowing cape train, that attached to her waist. Alexus looked to her sisters, mom, and best friend, whose eyes lined with tears.
She sobbed. “It’s perfect.”
Annie smiled sweetly. She turned to Morgan and Rachel. “I made this for Alexus awhile ago.” Pointing to the cape, she smirked. “I told you, this dress was meant for the right groom.”
“You look, beautiful honey.” Diane smiled at her daughter, wiping her eyes. “I wish your father could see you, but I’m so thankful that Terrence agreed to walk you down the aisle.” Alexus chuckled. He said and I quote.
“Gotdamn kids forever making an old wolf cry.” They all laughed and Diane stood and hugged Annie.
“It means so much to me that you’ve done this for each of my daughters. You really have made their days so much more special.” Annie smiled and turned to the other three.
“Why don’t yall go into the bathroom and help Alexus adjust her train and pin any places I need to fix? I need to make sure that I get all the alterations just right.”
“Yes ma’am”
Morgan, Rachel, and Stacy followed Alexus back to the bathroom and Annie returned her attention to Diane. She whispered low so the others couldn’t hear. “And I’ll have yours ready for you when the time comes.” She quickly brushed Diane’s hair away and tapped the blank spot on the back of her ear.” Diane’s eyes widened.
“How did you-“
“There’s not much that gets past Terrence, Klaus, and I…and Diane, Martin would want you to be happy.” Annie pretended to put a lock and key over her mouth leaving Diane speechless as the ladies emerged from the bathroom.
“She’s ready Mrs. Annie” Annie walked in and helped Alexus out of the dress. “I'll have it absolutely perfected for you nice in early.”
“Thank you” Alexus wrapped her arms around her, now understanding why this time around felt so different.
“You all enjoy your party now.”
“You’re not going to stay?” She shook her head no.
“I got a wedding dress to alter, and a humongous wolf to spend time with.”
Exiting the castle, Annie grinned as she saw Terrence waiting down for her at the bottom of the steps. “Why you so pretty Mrs. Annie?” He smiled big and she laughed.
"Oh hush up you old fool.” He took the box and other items from her hands and kissed her cheek. She wrapped her arm into his.
“You give him Mavier’s message?” He nodded.
“You know, Klaus, George and I were talking and since Klaus is already at Dark Moon, George was thinking about finally planting roots.” She arched her brow.
“Oh really?”
“It’s been so long since we settled down Annie, and I’m tired. I love being around everyone and I really love spending time with our grandbabies. And with Lil Bit pregnant, I just don’t wanna miss nothing else.” Annie leaned into his arm.
“Then I say it’s about time we settle down too.”
“REALLY?!”
She looked at her husband’s huge smile and fell in love with him all over again. He shook his head. “Do us a favor, and you and Betsey talk to the whole stupid about it. You know they’re dramatic and none of us feel like getting pissed off and having to reenact Guy’s Night.”
