Chapter: Ion and Angelo – The Wedding of the Century
(AUTHOR'S POV)
Three months had passed since the double pregnancy news.
Jay was now six months pregnant.
Baby Raspberry growing perfectly.
Mica was now four and a half months pregnant.
Baby Strawberry growing perfectly.
The fruit basket was thriving.
But today—
Today was different.
Today was special.
Today was—
Angelo and Ion's wedding.
Finally.
After months of dating.
After months of ear-twisting.
After months of Angelo being completely whipped.
The day had arrived.
And the chaos family was ready.
