--------30 minutes after the "incident" (in the last chapter)-----
"Dee, just go, please!" Brian pleaded.
"Bri-Bear, I don't need to go to the doctor!" she argued.
"Dee Anne Littrell!" Vanessa insisted, "You're going and that's final!"
"No, I'm not! I'm fine!" Dee said. Then all of her friends began arguing with her. "Fine! Call the doctor and I'll go now!" she said. 20 minutes later she was in the doctors office being checked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, am I okay Doc?" Dee asked as the doctor came back in from running tests, "That was awfully quick getting results."
"Well, it's exactly what I thought. So, a quick test was all I needed. Have you been feeling sick to your stomach or dizzy or have you been puking a lot?" Dr. Linds asked.
"Uh, yeah," Dee said looking sheepishly at Brian.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"Bri-I didn't want you to worry!" she said holding his hand in hers.
"Well, Mr. Littrell, it's really nothing to worry about," the doctor said, "Mrs. Littrell is pregnant."
"What!?" both said.
"Yeah! Congratulations!"
"Omigosh!!" Brian hugged Dee. Both had tears of joy in their eyes. They walked back to the waiting room where their friends were-both grinning and holding hands.
"Are you okay?" Dawn asked.
"Well, yeah," Dee smiled at Brian.
"We're gonna be parents!" Brian said excitedly.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" their friends screamed as they all hugged each other.
"You're pregnant!? But how?" Nick said, setting himself up for jokes. Kevin placed a hand on Nick's shoulder.
"Now, Nick, when a man and woman love each other very much...." Kevin started.
"Man I know that!" Nick shrugged Kevin's hand off in disgust, "But, I thought you guys were waiting for a bit to have kids?"
"Well, apparently someone else had a different idea," Brian laughed as he looked to the sky then kissed Dee's forehead. Both were grinning hugely.

-------2 months later-------
"Sandi, I hope you don't mind a pregnat Maid of Honor!" Dee laughed as she tried her dress on after it had been altered. Though she wasn't that far along or even showing, she had gained a considerable amount of weight.
"Of course not! I'm so happy you're gonna be with me!" Sandi said, "3 days and I become Mrs. Andrew John Lachey!" she squeeled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dee walked into her house to discover a romantic dinner set up in the middle of the floor infront of the fireplace.
"How's my mommy-to-be?" Brian asked as he stood in the middle of it all. All of a sudden, Dee burst into tears. Brian rushed to comfort her, "Baby, what's wrong?"
"I'm not gonna be able to tour! TRINITY's tour is starting in a week-they don't need a pregnant fat lady dancing on stage! Vanessa and Kris are gonna be crushed!" she wailed as Brian hugged her tightly.
"Oh, babe, sshh.....I'm sure you won't have to dance." Brian tried, "You can still go on tour. You're so not fat! You're beautiful," Dee suddenly stopped crying.
"I know Bri-Bear, it's just these darn mood swings!"
"I understand honey! Just don't kill me and I can handle to mood swings!" he joked as he bent to kiss her. They were interrupted by the phone ringing. Dee answered is and as soon as she was hund up, she was silent. Brian turned her to face him and saw the tears in her eyes, "Baby?" hea sked.
"That was the doctor," she said.
"What'd she say? How did the ultra-sound go?" he asked worriedly.
"Well, she knows why I've gained considerable weight for my first 2 months."
"Why?" Brian asked.
"We're having twins!" Dee beamed up at him.
"What! That's great! Two babies in one!" he said as he hugged her and kissed her wildly. They then called all their friends and proceeded with their romantic dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both Sandi and Drew's hearts were about to jump out of their chests as Sandi appeared at the beginning of the isle with her dad. She looked gorgeous in her long, lace sleeved, off the shoulder dress. There was a cute little heart cut out in the back and little beaded hearts all over the dress. Drew lookced equally hot with Nick (Lachey) and the other 98 degrees members beside him. All the girls were starstruck. They knew they shouldn't be but they couldn't help it. Dee was with two of her faves besides BSB, 98 degrees and Jessica Simpson. They all almost died.
"I do!" Drew said.
"I do!" Sandi repeated before Drew leaned in to kiss her passionately.

------The Reception-----
"Okay, I'd like to start off by saying thank you to each and every one of you for coming to this wedding! Sandi and I really appreciate it!" Drew said, "Secondly, I'm gonna put an end to all the "Battling Bands BSB or 98 degrees" rumors that I know will start now. I mean, I'm gonna be around Sandi al the time which means I'm gonna be around TRINITY which means I'm gonna be around BSB and they'll be around me and most likely these lunatics on my left," he said gesturing to 98 degrees,"So, to stop anything now, we all get along! We don't hate each other! Never have! Heck we're practically family now!" he joked before all BSB and 98 degrees members and the girls started clapping.
"I'd also like to thank all of you," Sandi began her speech,"and I'm sure that everyone agrees that it's my wedding so I can do what I want. So, as many of you well know, one of my lovely Bride's Maids is expecting, not one, but two babies as she was informed the other day. So, I'd like to take this time to throw her a baby-shower since she's going on tour tomorrow and I'm going on my honeymoon. So, Vanessa, Dawn, Kris, and Kelly, will ya'll bring out the presents please," Sandi said as a huge cart of gifts was rolled out, "Those of you who didn't bring anything, please, please do not feel bad, I didn't tell those of you who don't know Dee, like my new inlaws and all cause I know I'd feel weird giving a gift to someone I didn't know! So, just have fun!"
"Aw!! Guys!! Thank you!" Dee sobbed as her and Brian hugged Sandi and Drew and the rest of their friends and family. Then they proceeded to open all the gifts and made mental notes to make out a million "thank you" cards when they got off tour!
"Wait!" Drew called after the last gift was opened. "The 98 degrees crew has something for you,"
"Yep!" Nick, Jeff, and Justin brought out gifts.
"Okay," Justin started, "The first item is.....a cute little pajama thing!" he held up pajamas with footies.
"Oh, but not just any pj's..." Nick (L) said as he flipped them over," A '98 Degrees Rule' pj thingy!" everyone laughed at the site of a pic of 98 degrees on the back with "98 Degrees Rule" under it.
"You guys are too much!" Thank you!" Dee and Brian hugged the guys after they recieved a diaper set that had 98 degrees on the butt, 2 pj sets that said, "My mommy and my aunts have a #1 Album!" with a pic of TRINITY and one for BSB that said, "My daddy and uncles have many #1 albums!
"We were gonna be weird and have BSB written on the inside of the diapers for a joke, but we decided against it, might start more rumors than we need!" Justin joked.
"You shoulda have NSYNC written in them!" AJ hollered as everyone cracked up.
"Ooo, two of everything! Look what we have to look forward too!" Dee said as she held up two "98 degrees" jumpers.
"I can't wait!" Brian said before kissing her.
