"It’s so beautiful" she says to herself, as she wipes a tear away. Meggan enters the church, and walks up behind Natasha.

"It looks beautiful" Meggan says.

Natasha turns to Meggan and hugs her. "Thank you so much Meggan, for agreeing to be my maid of honor" Natasha says. "I know it was last minute"

"No problem" Meggan replies, exiting from their embrace. "I know Kim wasn’t up to it right now"

The girls head off to the bridal room.

Robbie enters the church with two people. "Natasha must be in the bridal room" Robbie says. "She will be floored with you guys being here"

Robbie takes his two guests to the bridal room. Robbie knocks on the door. Meggan opens it. "Robbie! What are you doing here?"

Robbie and his two guests enter the small bridal room. "Where’s Natasha?" he asks.

"Robbie? Is that you?" Natasha calls.

"Yeah, sis! Where are you? I have a surprise for you" Robbie replies.

"I’m coming..." she says. Natasha comes out from the washroom, and sees her mother and father, Sofia and Bob. "Mom! Daddy!" Natasha cries.

"Yes, dear. We are home" Sofia says, hugging her daughter.

"I’m so glad you could make it" Natasha says

"You don’t really think we would miss our baby getting married, did you?" Bob replies.

Natasha turns to Robbie. "Thanks for the surprise" she says, hugging her brother.

"Anytime. I wish you and Cory the best. You know that" Robbie says.

"I do. I love you guys so much" Natasha says, wiping another tear away.

"Listen, I have to go. I will catch you all later" Robbie says.

"I’ll come with you" Bob says. "Leave the women to do their, well women things" Bob laughs.

Sofia hugs her daughter again, as the men leave.

"Wow, you look good" Shane says, coming over and kissing his wife.

"Thanks. You look very handsome" Victoria says, feeling a little tense around her husband.

"Victoria, are you alright?" Shane asks her.

"Yes. Why do you ask?" Victoria responds quickly.

"You just seem upset, or tense"

"I’m fine" Victoria says, walking out of the bedroom.

Leah is getting ready for the wedding, when she hears the doorbell ring. She races down the stairs, and opens the door, to find Robin.

"Robin, what do I have the pleasure?" Leah says sarcastically.

"Leah" Robin says, pushing her way into the house. "Where’s Robbie? I need to see him. It’s about our baby" Robin says, putting her hand on her stomach.

"In case you’ve forgotten, it is Robbie’s sister’s wedding day. He is with Natasha and his parents"

"What? Bob and Sofia are back in town?" Robin asks worried.

"Did you think they would miss Natasha’s wedding? You are dumber then I thought" Leah replies.

"Very funny. How long are they in town for?" Robin continues to press Leah.

"I don’t know" Leah begins. Robbie enters the house, interrupting the conversation.

"Robin. Leah. What’s going on? Do I have to break something up?" Robbie asks

"Robin just stopped by." Leah reports.

"Robbie, I was hoping I could go to the wedding with you. Because of the baby" Robin says, getting teary.

"On God. You’re quite the actress Robin" Leah snaps.

"Ladies, please" Robbie says. "Robin, were you even invited to the wedding?"

"Yes!" Robin replies, handing Robbie her invitation.

Leah pulls Robbie aside. "I think we should take her with us" Leah tells Robbie.

"What?! I can’t believe you’re saying this" Robbie says

"I know. But it will give a chance for Bob and Sofia to meet her. She is carrying their grandchild"

"Are you sure baby" Robbie questions.

"Yes"

They hug. "Robin, you can come with Leah and I" Robbie says.

Robin doesn’t even crack a smile. "Great. Sofia Calimo is in town" Robin thinks to herself.

"You’re looking well" Vinny states.

"Oh Vinny! I’m so happy you came to say ‘hello’ to me" Victoria smiles.

"I know you were in the hospital. I just came to see how you are" Vinny replies, getting a tad nervous.

"Cut the crap Vinny. I remember. I remember everything" Victoria replies.

"I have no idea what you are talking about" Vinny says, turning to leave.

"It was you! You shot me! Because I know..." Victoria begins

"Shut up!"

"Ah! I see I’ve struck a nerve" Victoria laughs.

Suddenly Shane arrives.

"What’s going on?" he asks Victoria.

"Nothing. Vinny and I were just saying hello" Victoria says, beginning to walk to Shane. Victoria turns to Vinny, "We will talk at the reception. Hopefully we can talk before I talk to your wife, Meggan the police officer" Victoria winks a Vinny.

"Thank you Bob. Europe seems to have done you both well" Leah smiles.

"So, when can we expect our first grandchild?" Sofia muses.

Leah becomes quiet.

"Did I say something wrong?" Sofia asks, puzzled.

"No, Mom. It’s just that..." Robbie begins. "...it’s just that. I cheated on Leah."

"You did what?!" Bob asks.

Sofia hugs Leah, who has begun to weep.

"It gets worse. She’s pregnant" Robbie confesses.

"Robert JR. What a mess you have created" Bob says, disappointed.

"Yes, indeed." Sofia adds. "Well, who is she? I want to talk to your mistress"

Robbie grabs a passing Robin.

"Robin Navy!" Sofia yells. "You tramp!"

"Mom!" Robbie says. "Calm down. It’s not all Robin’s fault."
