Chapter 43

The episode in the elevator had been unplanned but a welcome relief to Jon who had this night planned to the last detail. But all day he couldn't wait to get alone with his new wife that his hormones went into overdrive so much so he couldn't wait. Now he could slow it down and romance her like she deserved. 

Jon had told her to close her eyes as he picked her up and carried her across the threshold. Setting her down ,she was then allowed to look. 
"Go ahead open your eyes " 

"Oh God , Jon this is so beautiful " Beth looked around candles had been placed all around the room . A mixture of Red and Lavender Roses were strategically placed throughout the room as well . She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. 

"Nothing but the best for my wife " He leaned down and sweetly kissed her. 

Beth giggled a bit causing Jon to pull back "Whats so funny ?" 

"Oh just the sound of your wife is strange yet to me " 

Jon laughed "Get used to it because now you are mine forever . " 

"Only place I would want to be " She wrapped her arms around him pulling back to her lips . She licked his lips begging entrance but he held firm . 

"In due time sweetheart . I have a night planned just for you " 

Beth huffed with frustration causing Jon to chuckle more. 
"Don't worry my impatient wildcat you will love this I promise " 

Jon led her over to this table that was set up next to the bed . On it had strawberries and cream, dipable chocolate, and sparkling white grape juice. 

Tears welled up in Beth's eyes to see how much he had done to make this a night that either would forget. 

"Hey Hey no tears " He took his finger wiping them away 

"Oh they are happy tears . You are simply ...... I don't know what to say " 

"You don't have to say a word my dear " He kissed her " Now lets enjoy this night. " 

Jon reached behind her, unzipping her dress letting it fall to the floor. He gazed over her almost naked body 

God what a site she was he groaned feeling himself getting hard but forcing himself to be slow . She had wanted to strip him down like he did her but he wouldn't allow it. Ignoring her pleas Jon led her to the bed laying her down. 

After pulling the table closer to the bed he crawled to the end of the bed, taking one leg and slowly pulling off one thigh high then the other with his teeth. Throwing them to the side he started to place little kisses up her legs purposely passing up her throbbing moist pussy that was pleading for satisfaction. 

"Not yet baby" he responded when she raised her hips. He kept up the sweet tortuous onslaught up to her slight beginnings of a bump. He stayed there for awhile caressing and talking sweetly to his babe. Then onward he went to her breasts by the way she was breathing he knew he was succeeding in what he had planned for weeks. he had her sit up, reaching back with one hand off went the bra . Cupping her breast he nipped at the hardening nipples. 

Beth gasped with a mixture of pleasure and frustration she wanted him so bad right now if she didn't she surely would die. If he was trying to kill her it was working. No matter how much begging she had done he wouldn't give in. 

"JON PLEASSSSSSSE " 

"Just a bit longer baby " 

It had been as much of a torture to him as it was to her. He thought he was gonna bust out of his pants soon but no he had to hold on as long as he could this for his Bethy . Pushing back the pain, He captured her mouth with his reaching behind him grabbing a strawberry dipping it cream breaking free from the kiss he held it just inches from her mouth . Holding her arms above her head she couldn't just grab it. He brought the strawberry closer just enough for her to get a taste then he pulled back placing one end in his mouth, he leaned forward so she could take the her part til they met with a searing kiss. 

He repeated this over and over til he couldn't take it anymore . Standing up he removed all is clothes in split second time , ripping off her underwear he climbed over her, bringing one leg up over the crook of his arm he entered her dripping wet folds . 

Beth sighed out of relief finally being able to come after being so close and not reaching the peak of desire . The moment he let go of her arms she attacked him like a wildcat in heat. Nothing was left untouched by the time she reached his shaft that was giving her so much pleasure feeling the wetness of her on him. 

Jon groaned knew he couldn't last too much longer. His thrusts were getting more frenzied as he was reaching his peak . 

"God Baby I ... don't think I can go... " He said through gritted teeth 

" Tha...ts ....it... go baby let it go .... " Beth said as another orgasm washed through her.

With her ok , he sped up jerking and bucking til he spilled himself into her warm confines of her pussy. He collapsed partially still aware to be careful of his babe that laid right below them. 

Neither moved as sleep overcame them still intimately joined . After a few hours they would soon continue but for now sleep was needed. Yes this had been a day and night neither of them would ever forget.

Chapter 42

Richie helped Lizzie to the bed and she laid on her tummy curling the pillows under her arms and resting her chin on them she sighed "I'm sorry Richie.....I didn't mean to get so upset I just.." 

Richie shirked his dress jacket off and loosened his tie, pulling it from around his neck and unbuttoning his crisp blue dress shirt before kicking off his shoes and falling softly on the bed beside his wife. 

"Lizzie honey..." He began as he lightly rubbed her back thru the silky satin of her red dress and slowly unzipped it. "You know... maybe you shouldn't go home ok? I mean... I don't like how you been feelin' lately and now today you pas out... I think maybe you should stay here with me and we can get you a Dr appt while were out and about just a check up ya know...... " 

He sat up and slid to the end of the bed and tapped her so that she shifted enough for him to slide her dress off her leaving her lying there in nothing but her matching red lace thong. He groaned in desire as he always did when faced with his wife's perfect body. 

Lizzie sighed she hated the worried tone in his voice and she knew if she turned and looked into his eyes she would see worry etched there as well. 

"Rich look I just passed out ok? I told you I was tired for days now, hell I thought I was pregnant but ya know... I started just the other day so we know that's not it....Hell I probably passed out from PMS" she joked 

Richie had to laugh as he slid back up beside her and let his hands slowly massage over her bare skin " I know I know but baby I saw you go down and shit I damn near pissed myself it scared me so bad, I just... I think you should stay with me ok? We can go home together when the tour ends, or during a break at least." 

"Rich everything is already arranged..... and with what just happened with Dave now I know it's best if I just........" 

"Just what Liz?? disappear?" He interrupted " I told you if we just go on about our business and show them.... sooner or later" 

"No Richie you're wrong! Just going on and acting like everything is ok is not gonna solve anything.... if I don't keep trying....." 

"Liz you saw what happened when you reached out... you're driving him further away...." He sighed in frustration 

"I am NOT!!" she whined a bit and raised her voice. She hated it when they argued over this. It was the only time they ever argued and she absolutely hated it! 

Richie bit his tongue to keep from retorting. He knew it would do no good to tell her, yet again, how very much like her brother she was when it came to being fucking stubborn. She just didn't see it. It was no wonder her and Dave were butting heads. He'd told her she'd be better off starting with her parents to mend the rift but Lizzie was adamant that she had to fix things with Dave first. 

He sighed and kept massaging her slowly. Knowing he wasn't making love to her this night. Mother nature had put her foot down with that damn monthly curse and on top of it, the awkward silence now would have killed any passion had circumstances been different. 

He leaned down to plant a kiss on her neck and mumble his apologies and was greeted with a light snore. 

He jerked back in surprise and watched her. The laughed and shook his head. SHe fell asleep on him. In the middle of a massage AND a fight...... 

Only his Lizzie..... 

He laughed more as he gently pulled the covers over her and settled himself in for the night.

Chapter 41

Jon dragged Beth towards the elevator with lust burning in his eyes. Hitting the button he pulled her in for a scorching kiss. The minute the doors opened he pushed gently her up against the far wall Desire coursing through their veins like it was their life line and without it they would surely die. 

As the doors closed, Jon abruptly stopped leaving Beth panting for more. Confused and frustrated She started to beg. 
"Patience Babe " Jon responds with a husky lust filled voice . 

He walked over and pushed the red button, the elevator stopped dead. Realizing what he had planned, Beth grinned wickedly as she met him in the middle. She lightly ran her hand over the front of his pants causing Jon to jerk from the pulsating member begging to be released. Grabbing him by the waistband she tugged him back with her to the back of the elevator. 

Jon as bad as he wanted to devour his new bride, he knew he had to reign his lust driven hormones and be gentle .But the volcano of desire inside him threatening to explode any moment,he had completely lost his intention of being gentle. Grabbing her hair he leaned in and attacked her mouth with fury. Beth responded with equal fury reaching for the button on his pants, pulling and tugging til she reached her goal. Running her hands over his cock she relished in fact it turned her on more to know what her touch did to him. 

The eagerness of reaching the ultimate peak of sexual gratification came to almost a screeching halt when Jon was making his way down to her throbbing soft fleshy folds his hand glided over her slightly swelling where his babe lay. 

Shit slow down Jon , gentle now... he thought to himself. 

Beth who was almost totally lost in a sea of desire, looked at him breathing hard "Why di.. you stop... I need you now " 

Jon smiled " I know baby just need to slow it down just a bit . I don't want to hurt you " 

"Only way of hurting me now is not finishing... what you started " Beth growled with frustration. 

Jon chuckled " Ok my feisty wildcat " 

Reaching for her panties, he pulled them down and felt her wet and ready for him. He then thrust one finger followed by a second to appease her demands until he could position themselves just right to protect her . He braced her back and brought her legs around him as he thrust in a bit harder than he had wanted but he had been aching so bad he needed to feel her all around him . He groaned a sigh of relief as she engulfed his member. 

Beth held on tightly as Jon thrust repeatedly calling his name and how much she loved him and god how he felt so good inside of her. Her nails dung in his shoulders, as Jon sped up to a frenzied pace. His release was forthcoming. 

"Baby ready to ............. Oh shit" Just as he spilled himself into her, her clit pulsed, her head spun from the orgasm that electrified through her. 

They clung on to each other til their breathing returned to normal. Jon kissed her and smiled " Now that was a hell of an elevator ride .. Shit I think we better let it start back up again before someone comes looking to find out why it stopped" 
Beth laughed " I don't think I want to be found in this position ." 

Joining in her laughter he gently puts her down helping her along with himself put back together. Satisfied they were both decent looking enough to step off the elevator, he pushed the button , the elevator started to move, arriving at their destination the doors opened to a very unhappy couple. The man spoke 

"Finally damn elevator ... did you have to wait long to come up " 

Jon looked at Beth both were suppressing their laughter as Jon replied 
"Yes we did , Think I will have to talk to the manager about this in the morning. " 

"Better believe we are. " The man took the ladies hand and huffed into the elevator as the doors closed again. The young newlyweds broke into a fit of laughter all the way back to their suite. To continue where they left on in the elevator. This night was far from over.

Chapter 40

Lizzie was so happy. She was dancing with Richie to Open Arms by journey. All the guests were coupled off and swaying together. His embrace held her snugly and she gazed up at him. He was dropping kisses on her lips every so often with a light happy smile and whispering his love in her ear. 

David sat and watched the couple as he downed another drink. He shook his head. 

I can't believe them... carrying on like that in front of everyone.... they don't even care anymore who they hurt. 

He stole a glance at his parents who were saying their goodbyes to the rest of the guests and heading for the door. They were having a hard time staying around and watching Lizzie and being estranged just hurt so now that the festivities were coming to an end they had decided to leave. 

Lizzie laid her head on Richie's shoulder and watched the people in the room as they swayed in content silence to the music. Her eyes landed on her brother who looked a bit sad and like he certainly didn't need another drink. She sighed and looked up to Richie " Hey baby .. I'll be back ok?" She stood on tiptoe and kissed the tip of his nose. 

"Alright sweetheart" He kissed her cheek and tapped her rear as she took off across the dance floor in her brothers direction. He smiled a bit and headed to get himself another cocktail. 

Dave was staring forlornly into his empty glass when he heard her "Hey... dance with me?" 

He looked up and swore under his breath "Lizzie don't" 

Lizzie sighed "Don't what Dave? Try and make it better? Come on ...Dance with me.." 

"You think a dance is gonna make it better Liz?" He shook his head and looked at her with disappointment "You have broke your mothers heart... and dad... he's just..... he feels so cheated..... and... me.. you always confided in me and this... you ... " he paused trying to gather his thoughts "AND HIM??" He raised his voice "HE promised to look after you.. take care of you.... that did not entail sleeping with you!!!" 

"Dave... please.. stop this!!!" She cried in frustration "It wasn't like that and you know it!! we didn't purposely go behind your back and try to hurt anyone we just fell in love why can't you understand that??" She was trying not to cry. She'd come over here hoping her little olive branch peace offering might tenativley be accepted by her brother. She hoped to use it as a stepping stone to healing but he was still so bitter. 

Richie watched from across the room as brother and sister argued yet again. He'd told Liz a million times to just chill and let Dave come to her. He knew he would eventually but Lizzie was just so outgoing and wanted everyone to be happy she couldn't stand knowing she was the cause of anyone's hurt. 

He wanted to go over and stop it but he knew if he interfered it would only make it worse. It seemed the only reason he and Lizzie ever exchanged heated words were when they discussed her family and their apparent excommunication of her. 

Lizzie was trying to explain once again to David just exactly how and why things had happened as they did but once again he wouldn't listen. She was so frustrated. She hated arguing with him. She put her hand to her temple. It was throbbing again. She hated this tension. These constant headaches. The exhaustion. The mental anguish of being near her brother but not being able to be his sister. 

She begged him again "David please why can't you..... just... under...." She stopped. The room was getting dim. She swayed and grabbed his shoulder to keep from falling. 

He looked at her strangely and moved her hand from his shoulder. "Look Liz this isn't the place for this and this isn't the time so just..." 

"It's never gonna be.. the right..." The pain in head was suddenly blinding and she cried out gasping then everything went black. 

David stared in shock as Lizzie slumped into his arms and he quickly laid her gently on the floor looking up to call out for Rich but Richie was already there he'd seen her wavering from across the room and took off as fast as he could. 

"Christ Rich.. what the hell?" he exclaimed as he laid her down "Did ya go and get her knocked up already or somethin?" 

Richie knelt down at Lizzie's side "No .. I didn't.... I don't think.." He paused and counted in his head. He knew her body as well as she did. " No she shouldn't be pregnant. she just had her.." 

"I don't want to know..." Dave held up his hand to stop 
Richie from giving him the intimate details of his sisters womanhood. 

Richie brushed Lizzie's hair back from her face and called to her "Lizzie girl??.. baby... come on....." 

Richie's mother had come up behind him. Seeing the whole thing from afar and handed him smelling salts. 

"Thanks Ma" He took and held it under her nose for a second and saw her eyelids flutter he handed it back to his mother. 

Lizzie slowly came to and saw Richie's fuzzy visage floating in front of her eyes. "hey??" She said a little confused as her vision cleared and she saw everyone hovering over her with worry on the expressions. 

"Hey sweety..... told you you needed more rest... you passed out babe..." Richie slowly sat her up as his mother helped her take a sip of water. She was shaky and her head felt light. 

"I'm sorry....." she apologized. 

"Don't be sorry sweetheart.... come on I think we need to get you back to the room... to much excitement for one day" he said. His concern showing in his eyes and on his furrowed brows. He helped her get to her feet. Holding her close as she leaned on him "Ok... everyone... excitements over .. she's ok... Call us in the morning for an update ok?" He called to the bystanders as he led her to the door. then in typical Richie fashion called "And NO she is NOT pregnant!!!... yet" 

The crowd relaxed and laughed at his parting comment and dispersed. Dave sat back down. His heart returning back to normal speed. Even if he was thoroughly pissed with his sister, that had scared the shit out of him. He hoped Richie made her rest.

Chapter 39

Jon nervously watched the ocean waves crash into the shore ,glancing at his watch just about time he looked up to see if she was here yet. 

God he didn't think he would be this nervous. 

Family had started to arrive and were being seated by his best men his "brothers", he couldn't chose just one best men so he made them all best men. He looked over at his mom and dad , the look of pride showing in their smiles , reassuring him he was making the right decision. 

Is it over yet he thought nervously 

He had been lost in his own thoughts when Richie nudged him . "Huh" He looked up, the sight of her caused him to gasp for breath"God she is .... more beautiful than the angels from heaven . " He had known she would be beautiful but she was everything and more than what he had envisioned. 

Beth was shaking so bad by that point she didn't think she was going to be able to make it down the aisle til she saw him . They had locked eyes God, he was a vision her eyes never seen before . She felt herself get moist just from the sight of him. 

They preceded down the aisle with Beth hanging on for dear life to her dad like he was her life line. He gently squeezed back reassuringly . Reaching their destination,her dad shook Jon's hand , hugged him then placed her hand in Jon's. Kissing his daughter on last time a single tear fell from his eye as he backed away to join her mother seated in the front row. 

Jon leaned in and kissed her cheek and whispered " You are so beautiful baby " 

Beth smiled back to nervous to answer she nodded .. God she felt like she would throw up if she did. Jon sensing her nervousness whispered " Just a bit longer baby it will be over . Then we have forever " 

"Yea " She squeaked out 

Surprisingly once the ceremony began it went by pretty quickly . They exchanged their vows both speaking from the heart instead of the traditional vows. Next came the rings . Beth's nervousness was subsiding a bit til she couldn't get Jon's ring on she struggled with it and was about to give it a toss it finally with Jon's help managed to slid the ring on the rest of the way. Causing a chuckle and a round of applause. Beth blushed and Jon chuckled as the priest announced : 

"You may now kiss the bride " 

"Gladly " Jon grinned taking her face in his hand and kissed her . At first it was nice and sweetly , then he parted her lips with his tongue,forgetting they were giving their families and friends a show, Beth wrapped her arms around his neck. 

It wasn't til Richie cleared his voice and everyone chuckling and cat calling did they realize they were not alone. 

"Oh hey everyone " Jon quipped 

"Ooops " Beth snickered 

The priest snickered as well " Now they are finished I can now introduce you to Mr and Mrs John Bongiovi " 

Richie spoke " About damn time now we can party " 

Jon and Beth laughed "Lets go party " Jon took her hand and walked down the aisle .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


After a few hours of mingling with all their guests, traditional toasts , cake cutting , garter tossing , bouquet throwing , finally they were to their first dance. Jon held her closely , nibbling on her neck and whispered gruffly "We need to find a way out of here" His hands roaming down her back to her ass and squeezed . 

Beth groaned " Yes we do .. I want you so bad .. now " her voice thick with desire. 

"God baby I need you... you think if we say we wanna fuck they would understand. " 

Beth laughed " A bit blunt aren't ya " 

"Well my need is blunt right now " Jon laughed 

"Yes I am feeling your point " As she took her hand and reached down inconspicuously rubbed him . 

"BABY dont do that not now " Jon growled through gritted teeth. "Not unless you want the fun to end before it begins " 

"I'm sorry " She grinned wickedly 

"Yea sure you are . Just wait when I get you back to the room Mrs Bongiovi " 

"Promises, promises " 

"Ok that's it. Yo Rich " Jon hollered 

Rich come strolling over " Yea . Whatcha need " 

"We need to sneak out ... can you cover for us ? " 

"You got it man .. Just don't destroy the room now " Rich grinned 

" Oh we will... Thanks I owe ya . Come on baby lets go. "Jon grinned and grabbed her hand and walked out the door not before hearing Richie say. 

"If you are looking for Jon and Beth they had to leave ... due to a sudden emergency. Thank you and lets party. " Richie grinned and raised his glass 

"To the bride and groom may their emergency be taken care of not so quickly . And whoever has a room next to theirs make sure you have your earplugs" 

Jon and Beth turned and looked at each other at first in shock then burst into a fit of laughter as they headed to the elevator . Their day had ended but their night was just about to begin.

Chapter 38

Beth had just gotten out of the shower when Lizzie arrived. She smiled as Lizzie looked so beautiful the red strapless dress fit snug all in the right places and the slit showed off her leg just right. She had her hair pulled up nicely in a french twist and just a touch of makeup . 

It was a wonder Richie let her out of the room looking like that. She chuckled to herself . 

"Beth , Beth , Beth come on girl got to get moving lots to do and ... " She glanced at her watch " not much time to do it in " 

"Yea I know .. I am just trying to get this mess of a hair to do something. Today of all days it has to be a pain in my ass " Beth bitched more out of nervousness than anything. 

"Come here sit " Lizzie patted on a chair near the mirror , plugged in the curling iron " Ok lets see what we can do . Down right " 

"Jon says he wants it down , so down it is with this on one side " She held up the white/red rose-clip. 

Lizzie brushed her hair , checking the curling iron, she started to curl her untameable hair. Nice big spiral curls were placed all over , she had her flip her hair she brushed it down then sprayed some hairspray. 

"Flip it up again " 

Beth flipped her head back up and they both giggled as it was really wild . 

"Beth you really should go like this " Lizzle giggled more 

"Oh yea could you see Jon's face with this look. I look i just rolled out of bed " She laughed even harder 

"Should just do it for the shock value " Lizzie teased " I would pay to see their faces " 

"I should " Beth's eyes gleamed with a hint of orneriness as Lizzie toned down the wild hair to a flowing body wave throughout her hair . Taking the flower clip, she pulled some of her hair on the left side . After making sure it was secure she covered the clip with her hand she sprayed lightly over her hair. 

"Finis Mademoiselle " Lizzie smiled happy with what she created. 

Beth looked amazed how different she looked for the first time thinking maybe she was beautiful . 

"Ohhhhhhh Lizzie thank you . I don't know what I would have done without you" Beth hugged her tightly 

"Ok ok lets get moving . Don't want Jon to think you are standing him up do ya?" 

"No don't want that.. " She laughed 

After applying just a bit of makeup ,Beth slid on her white thigh highs attaching them to her white lacy garter-belt,then a red garter . Next came her dress . Jon had outdone himself with this dress; a white off the shoulder a mixture of satin and lace . She slid it on, the bodice gripping her breasts and pushing them up for just a bit of cleavage. The skirt flared out enough to hide any signs of pregnancy though you couldn't tell yet she was pregnant she wasn't completely flat anymore. 
She had almost forgot the choker Jon had sent her as a wedding present , placing it around her neck and hooking it fell prefect right on her cleavage. Lastly came her sandals. 

She stood back finished now it was time to get nervous as she glanced at the clock almost showtime . 

"Oh Bethy you are gonna steal his breath away " Lizzie grinned 

"You think so " Beth nervously bit her bottom lip 

"Stop it. Of course you are "Lizzie hugged her 

"Thanks Lizzie for all you have done . You are and will always be the sister I never had" Beth replied 

"Aw Bethy you are my sister. Now stop this or you are gonna ruin what little make up you have on" Lizzie replied trying to lighten the moment. 

There was a knock on the door and Beth's dad walked in. 

"It's time Bethy dea........... my angel you are breathtaking , not my little girl anymore thats for sure. " he walked over and kissed her chick. 

"Thank you daddy " Beth said fighting back the tears 

"Ready to go princess " He held out his arm 

Beth sucked in a deep breath " Ready as I will ever be " 

"Lets go then " Beth and her dad walked out followed by Lizzie who doubled checked they had everything, her bouquet among other little things . locking the door she headed to meet them at the elevator.

Chapter 37

Jon had motioned for Richie to come on in as he hung up with Beth. 

"Hey man . Ready for the plunge " Richie teased 

"Yup , diving in with both feet " Jon laughed 

Richie laughed " I'm really happy for ya man" 

"Yea , can't believe its actually gonna happen " 

"I know what you mean . One day Lizzie will have a day like this . " 

"Give them time they will come around " Jon reassured him 

"Yea , maybe or maybe not. I don't care . I love her and she loves me that is what matters . " 

"You got that right. " 

" Hey man enough on my shit .. You got a big day ahead. Did ya eat yet?" 

"Just 'bout to , then shower and shave . Won't take me long . Now the girls " he laughed 

Richie laughed "Yea that's why I am here so early . Lizzie wanted to come earlier than this but I had to hold her down . I think she is more excited than you and Beth " 

" Don't bet on it .. If i know them they are laughing and giggling like girls do" Jon chuckled

"Yea true... Why don't you shower and shit , while I order room service . " 

"Good idea. Kill two birds with one stone.. Be out in a few " Jon said as he headed to shower. 

Richie ordered room service and sat down to wait. He was already dressed in a pair of black dress pants and dark blue silk shirt unbuttoned at the top. He was really happy for Jon and Beth but part of him was envious at the same time. Why couldn't everyone be happy for them as they are for Beth and Jon. Someday he sighed. 

Jon walked out just as room service arrived with their food. 

" You know I am surprised I am actually starved as nervous as I am" Jon said as they sat down to eat 

"Na nothing to be nervous about you two were meant to be " 

"Oh the wedding is cool, its not that ... its becoming a dad " 

"To late to change that now " Richie teased 

Jon laughed " Oh no dont get me wrong I am happy . Just nervous. Never been some ones dad before " 

"Not that you know of anyway " 

" True " Jon chuckled 

"Seriously man, you will be fine . You and Beth will be kickass parents . " 

" I believe Beth will be a wonderful mother, its just ... I guess with the road what kind of father will that make me " 

" True buddy , You will be gone a lot but that doesn't mean your kid won't know you . They will be proud of a father who has such dedication and work ethic. " 

"Yea I guess you are right. " 

Jon got up and grabbed his black dress slacks and slipped them on ,along with his white silk shirt that clung to his muscular chest like a glove. he moved on to his hair , with a bit of a tease he flipped it to one side . The final touch was a dab of cologne. He stood back and took a deep breath in and let it out. 

"Damn Jon she is gonna jump you before you get your vows out. " Richie teased 

Jon laughed " If I don't jump her first . Hey man you got the rings " 

Richie feigned shock " What rings ? " 

Jon gave him an exasperated look " Don't fuck with me man . Where's the rings?" 

" I don't know man " Richie started checking all his pockets.. "Man I ... " 

"OH fuck Rich .. DON'T FUCKING TELL ME " 

Rich grinned " Ah here they are " He pulled them out of pant's pocket 

Jon slugged his arm " Very funny fucker . Give me a heart attack before the wedding ." 

"Sorry man " Rich laughed harder "But your face was priceless" 

Jon rolled his eyes but laughed " You would have had to explain that to my wife where her ring was " 

"No thanks . I will leave all that Cuban temper to you " Rich teased . 

Both guys now dressed the waiting game began. Tico , Lissa, Dave and April should be arriving anytime. They picked up a deck of cards and started playing any game they could think of to pass the time.

Chapter 36

As the sun peaked through the curtains of her hotel room , Beth reached over to the empty spot normally where Jon laid , but not today . Today she was alone. She opened her eyes remembering why he wasn't there with a smile. It was her wedding day. 

Looking over at the clock , she had a bit of time before Lizzie would arrive to start getting ready. She laid back to relish in this alone time, her nerves were kicking in a bit and she was sure the closer to the time she would be a nervous wreck. 

Lost in her thoughts , almost not hearing the phone ring. She snapped out of it to answer. 
"Hello " 

"Hey baby " 

"Hey yourself . I didn't expect to hear your voice til later " She replied with a smile 

" Well they never said we couldn't talk , just that we don't see each other " 

"How ya doing?" Beth asked 

"Well tried as hell. I couldn't sleep without you baby " Jon sweetly replied 

"I couldn't either " 

"Few more hours , sweetheart then you are forever mine " 

"um ... I don't know about that ... not sure if .... " She teased him 

"Hey ... you not backing out on me are ya " Jon feigned hurt 

"No baby .. Just teasing. I love you so much it hurts " 

"Aww baby I love you too. How ya feeling? " 

"Except a bit nervous I am good . The baby is cooperating today I think " She joked 

Jon laughed " That's good to hear . Don't need my baby all sick today or tonight either " He added devilishly. 

"Don't worry about me . You should worry about you " She teased 

"Oh yea. Think so eh?" Jon quipped 

"Yup " Beth laughed 

"Guess we shall see then? " 

"Guess so " 

Beth and Jon talked for awhile on the phone when there was knock on the door. 

"Oh hang on baby . Someone is at the door, it might be Lizzie . " 

"Ok honey " Jon smiled to himself he knew who was at the door. 

Beth went to the door and opened it Instead of seeing Lizzie she was surprised to find delivery man standing in front of her holding the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers, a mixture of white roses and purple carnations with a touch of baby's breath, she had ever seen. 

"Miss Valdez " He asked 

"Yes " 

"Here you go these are for you . Congratulations Ma'am " He smiled handing her the flowers. 
Beth smiled " Thank you . Hold on let me get you something for your trouble" 

"No Ma'am . " He waved off a tip 

"Are... you sure? Ok, then thank you so much " 

"Enjoy your day ma'am" He turned and left 

Beth took the flowers in the room setting them down picking up the phone . 

"Did you do this ? Baby they are so beautiful " 

Jon grinned " Not as beautiful as you baby . Nothing compares to you . But did you really look at them ?" 

"What do you mean ? " She leaned over to look more closely and found a box sitting down in the middle of the flowers 

"What is this ?" She opened it to find a diamond choker with a locket dangling from it. she opened it up to find herself and Jon on one side and the other side a note saying baby bongiovi . Tears welled up in her eyes as she closed it to find the engraving that she would soon see that was on their rings as well . "Two hearts One soul" 

"Oh God its.... beautiful " She said tears streaming down her face 

" I take it you love it then" Jon quipped 

"I love it and will cherish it forever " 

"Good . I thought since you had to go back to school and I couldn't be there. All you have to do is look at this and I am always there." 

"You are so good to me . I love you " 

" I love you too bab.... y, oh shit the door . Its Richie .. I guess its that time . See you in a few hours baby .. " 

" I can't wait to see you " Beth sniffed 

"Me neither , now dry those happy tears . See ya soon" Jon blew her a kiss through the phone . 

Beth hung up , drying her eyes .. it was time to get moving. She laid her necklace on the dresser grabbing her robe and headed for the bathroom for a shower.

Chapter 35

Lizzie lay wrapped in Richie's arms. Her head had been aching again earlier while talking with Beth but now...she smiled as she turned to face her husband. 

"you're better than any aspirin babe you know that" she grinned wide as she kissed him playfully 

"oh yeah?" Richie chuckled " I ain't got no bad medicine.... I got good medicine... oh yeah" He nuzzled himself between her breasts as he joked with her in his well known 'crazy Richie' voice. 

Lizzie laughed til she was breathless then settled down into his embrace again with a satisfied grin. "ready for tomorrow?" 

"yeah baby... can't wait... I'm so glad their doing this. I can't wait to see you coming down that aisle in your dress... baby your gonna look so damn good......" His hands roamed a bit as he let his mind wander to the strapless floor length, form fitting Matron of honor dress that Beth had chosen for Lizzie to wear. He remembered the way her silky smooth leg had peeked out of the high rising slit up the one side and licked his lips as he raised his eyebrows. 

"Richie!!!" She laughed and playfully smacked him " stop it!! I am not going go all out to look all perfect for you my dear husband" she shook her finger in his face and winked " It's Bethy's day and SHE will be the princess!" She said firmly 

"yes ma'am" Richie saluted Liz with a smirk and mumbled "But you'll still have the best ass in the church" 

Lizzie sighed and rolled her eyes as she laughed "God Rich... you're really somethin else......" 

"I know darlin'" he quipped and kissed her playfully at first then slowly turning tender he pulled back and looked into her eyes "Lizzie.... you know.... someday... you and me... were gonna do it like Jon and Beth...." he nodded in a very self assured way. " I'm gonna buy you the best dress in the world... the prettiest church....... i'm pullin out all the stops for you baby." 

Lizzies heart melted. She had felt only the slightest twinge of jealousy at Beth and her dream wedding, but she never voiced it ever. Somehow Richie had felt it though. And after his little speech now... any thoughts of wishing for more were gone. 

"ah Rich......." she smiled softly..." ya know I.... really....I don't neeed all that... I have all I ever wanted right here...." she slid her arms around his neck and down his bare back. 

"I know Lizzie girl.... but I just want you to know....anything you want... anything......I will give you anything at all....." 

Lizzie blinked back tears of elation at his words as his mouth claimed hers and his hands began to work their never ending magic on her body once more. He never ceased to amaze her how much he was open about his love for her. She couldn't imagine ever having made any other choice but to be his forever.

Chapter 34

A couple weeks went by since the the big blow up in the dressing room. Dave was still not talking to Richie or Lizzie , her parents were as much ignoring the whole situation all together. The only ones that seemed to accept their marriage was Jon,Tico, and Beth. Thank god for that too Lizzie didn't think she could lose her best friend over this either but if she did she would be sad but nothing could compare to being with her husband now. She would weather it all for their love to last. 

Beth and Lizzie were sitting off to the side watching their men prepare for the show. Now was a good as any to have one of their infamous girl talks. 


Lizzie looked over at her friend and smiled . After the dust had settled or somewhat settled , Jon and Beth not only announced they were getting married but they were having a baby. Everybody had been shocked with this double whammy , well not some much with the wedding as the baby but once that wore off , excitement filled the air. 

Lizzie was extremely happy for her best friend but jealous at the same time . Wishing she had gotten the same reaction as they did. Tico was ecstatic for someone that had been dead set  against this from the beginning was the first to congratulate the couple. 

One day they will see she thought sadly 


Beth caught her friend looking at her 

"Hey , you ok?" 

"Yea, ... just wish... " Lizzie sighed. 

Beth put her arm around her " I know. I'm sorry " 

Lizzie shook her head " Oh no don't be . You deserve to enjoy this happiness " 

"Lizzie , just give them time they will all come around to see what Jon and the rest of us sees" 

" Yea , when i am 50 " she smarted back 

"No not when you are 50. but maybe when you turn 18 " Beth smirked 

Lizzie rolled her eyes and then winced , rubbing her head 

"Another headache" Beth said worriedly 

"Yea damnt i am tired of them too . But its Probably due all the stress " 

"Maybe its a good thing you are going home then . Taking a break might do you good" 

She nodded " But I will miss him but at least he is my husband now and i will be staying at our house " She smiled. 

" Oh yea Mrs Sambora you can whip him into shape now" Beth grinned 

Lizzie laughed " Oh yea i like to whip....... never-mind " Sending the girls into a fit of giggles. 

"So you ready for your big day .... Mrs Bongiovi to be " Lizzie smirked 

"I am actually though I am nervous as hell. I don't know why either I mean this is what I always dreamt of and now its coming true and I am ... I don't know. " 

"What is it? You will be fine . You and Jon are meant to be together . You are true soul-mates . And this baby tops it all off " Lizzie reached over and put her hand on her friends still flat stomach. 

"I know..its just wow its a bit overwhelming . I thought maybe someday but its now. 

"Oh Bethy it will be fine " She hugged her. 

" I think what it is after the wedding we just have a week or so before I go back to school. To be so far away.... " She sighed 

"I know but just think when you get to see each other .. Watch out neighbors " Lizzie teased. 

"I don't think Jon wants me to go back. He said he will worry about me being over there alone and pregnant . But he won't tell me not to go . " 

"Well he will just have to call more often , now won't he . I am sure you will be fine . Women have babies everyday " Lizzie laughed

"I told him that but he said those women aren't carrying his baby" 

"Isn't he just the sweetest thing " Lizzie quipped 

"I know . " Beth smiled looking over at Jon " I promised i would take it easy as much as I could. And no more work he said . So I had to call my boss and told her. " 

"Well shit girl , you don't need to work anymore you are gonna be Mrs Bongiovi " Lizzie teased 

Beth laughed " Yea i guess it has its perks ." 

The girls continued their gab fest til soundcheck was over , Dave exited immediately not one word to Lizzie . Followed by Tico who gave Lizzie a encouraging smile . Alec who just grinned and took off for dinner time. 

Lastly,Jon and Richie joined the girls , grabbing their hands and walking off to the catering room for dinner.

Chapter 33

After the altercation cleared up, and everyone took off to take care of last minute things before the show, Jon and Beth both still stunned at the news, sat in silence for a bit just mulling it over. 
Jon was the first to find his voice " Well I sure didn't expect that. Wow! " He sighed and shook his head in disbelief. 

Beth agreed saying "I know... I thought maybe she would say she .... hell I don't know now "

Jon looked thoughtful not sure how to word what he wanted to say he took a deep breath and jumped right in "I was thinking Beth...... maybe we should hold off telling anyone just yet... you know... about the baby.. cause... right now... I'm not sure how it would go over considering what tweedle dee and tweedledum just pulled... " Jon said biting his lip 

Beth hugged him a bit" Yea I think you're right......I was thinking that too just .. didn't want to upset you. " 

Jon looked at her "You're ok with waiting then?" 

She smiled "Yea besides we got plenty of time yet" she rubbed her flat stomach gently."Surely it wont take a whole 7 months for this to blow over right?" 

Jon paused "well....." He chuckled "Son of a bitch I hope not... I don't know how many more fights I can break up.. Dave's a bit of a firecracker.... and that was sober!" 

Beth chuckled a bit “ I have seen him angry but damn I thought he was going to blow a gasket. If he didn't already. “ 

She paused for a moment “ You think Tic meant what he said? “ 

Jon thought about it “ Hey I do “ 

Jon went into deep silent thought with Beth snuggled at his side. Just a nice comfortable silence as he contemplated the plans he had been arranging. He thought maybe he should just go ahead and bring it up to Beth right then.With all that had just transpired he was beginning to think that another secret wedding just wouldn't go over really well, and he didn't want anymore drama if he could help it. Instead of cancelling it, he would just invite everyone.... that is... if only she would say yes...... 

“Bethy , ummm can we talk “ he asked a bit hesitantly 

Beth looked at him strangely she thought they were talking, but shrugged 

“Sure Jon” 

Jon took a deep breath and said “ Well , you know I was.. um “ 

Beth watched his face and his eyes darting back and forth. It was beginning to make her nervous 

Is he having second thoughts about everything? 

Jon read her mind when he noticed her look of confusion and worry and hastened to reassure her “ No baby nothing like that look....I was gonna…. Well…. Ummmm right before you had to go back to school, I kinda started making plans to....... take you away from all of this and surprise you with … this “ he reached in his pocket for the ring box 

Whatever she had thought he was up to, a ring and proposal was surely not it! Especially after what had just happened 

“Oh God Jon!!!! “ She exclaimed tears of happiness and disbelief welling up 

“Will you …. Marry me Bethy.....please? I was gonna wait because I didn't think you would say yes........thinking it was because of the baby... but I swear I been thinkin' about this even before we found out and...... I love you baby so much I want you in my life forever... just say yes...." He looked at her with a smile that reached deep into his brilliant blue eyes and waited with baited breath for her answer. 

Beth wrapped her arms around him tears streaming down her face 

“Of course I will” 

“Really !!! Oh baby you have made me the happiest man twice these last few days “ He reached up and wiped her tears away and sweetly took her face in his hands and kissed her.

Taking her hand and placing the sparkling diamond on her finger. Bringing her hand up to his mouth he kissed it. 

“Now there was more to this surprise , I wanted to have the wedding just you and I on the beach , but I don’t think that is such a wise idea . I still want the wedding there and for the week I planned but I think we should invite everyone , after I hope things chill out a bit. “ 

Beth again shocked he had this all planned without her knowing 

“You planned the wedding to? “ 

He smiled “Yes baby all for you . Its all taken care of all we have to do is show up “ 

Bethy sniffled a bit and chuckled "Well well well.. pretty damn sure I was gonna say yes huh ya cocky son of a bitch" she teased 

Jon cracked a big smile " well... I .. was taking into the account how utterly irresistible you find my smile... and... if that didn't work.. I was not above shaking my ass in your face to get you to say yes......" 

“Well if you still wanna shake it for me , I won’t argue “ Beth licked her lips in anticipation 

Jon laughed “ Just for you baby “ he turned down around and did his little wiggle that set many women’s hearts a fluttering. 

“I’m the only one to touch too “ She grinned reaching up and grabbing just a bit . 

“Baby don’t start that now or I won’t make it to the show . But later you can grab anything you want “ He cheekily grinned. 

“I’m gonna hold you to that one Mister “ She stood up and kissed him nice and long wrapping her arms around his neck his hands sliding down to her ass . 

They were deeply into the moment when Alec yet again disturbed the newly engaged lovers.

“ Jo……….n oh ummmmm sorry but you need to change for the show . 30 minutes til . “ 

Jon groaned “ Alec you have such impeccable timing don’t you … a’right comin” 

“Baby be back in a bit . Then later we can…” He wiggled his eyebrows 

“Can what ? fuck like rabbits “ she teased 

“tsk tsk such a dirty mouth you have “ 

“You know you love it. “ she grinned 

“You know it “ He kissed her one last time before bolting out the door.

Chapter 32

Beth and Jon both nearly choked on their drinks , eyes widened Jon finally whispered to her “ Tell me she didn't just say that” 
All Beth could do was nod she expected to hear her say yes they loved each other and such but not that .. 

Dave was floored showing conflicting emotions flashed across his face. The anger just exploded and he stood up and punched Richie right across the jaw, causing Liz to lose her grip on his arm and stumble back a few feet yelling "DAVID!!!" 

Richie hadn't seen it coming and it snapped his head back making him swear under his breath. And though his natural instinct was to swing back he only rubbed his jaw a bit and shook his head as David's voice reached a fevered pitch.

“WHAT THE FUCK , MY BABY SISTER ….SHE'S ONLY 16!!!" David spat venom spewing from each syllable.

"17 DAVID!" Lizzie spit at him with disgust as she stepped back up beside Richie in order to show a united front "You were too busy playing rockstar to remember last Friday!" 

Her rude comment elicited an exasperated "Elizabeth please!!!" From her mother who was at this point completely lost as to how to handle the situation 

David cut his eyes at her with a look of death "Shut up Liz!!!" then turned back to Richie "HOW COULD YOU??? WE TRUSTED YOU AND YOU …….. “ Dave thought his anger was gone but in the next instant made a move to go for Rich once more 

“DAVID STOP IT NOW!!!!!!!" Liz slid in between he husband and her brother, and if not for Jon's quick as a whip reflexes David would have knocked his sister to the floor if not out entirely. Jon grabbed him from behind and said cool it Dave... cool it now!....Rich... Liz....just ... back off..... over there" He nodded his head to the other corner of the room and turned to speak to Mr. and Mrs Rashbaum in a low whisper. 

“Listen I know this is a shock but right now might not be the best time for all of this maybe everyone back off a bit and let cooler heads prevail , then just you and Ed go talk to Richie and Lizzie alone. I don’t want to sound all business like and uncaring but fans paid big money to see us tonight and to let them down … I just think take time to cool down lets do the show then you talk to them” 

“Maybe you are right? Dear? “ Flo looked at her husband “ None of this is getting us anywhere all this fighting.” 

“Alright , but this is far from over” Ed grumbled glaring at Richie 

Richie just locked eyes with Jon and nodded letting Jon know he understood then put a protective arm around Lizzie's shoulders and led her back into a room off the main dressing room, where they would be there for show time yet out of the way and everyone's vision. 

Jon breathed a sigh of relief as he realized Richie would abide by his wishes right then.“Good , now let me go try and cool down Dave” Jon exhaled 

Jon walked over to Dave who by then was wanting to punch anything near him. 

“Dave come on man , Lets just chill and …… “ 

“ I CANT … I cant forgive him ever! He lied and said he would take care of her. THIS IS NOT TAKING CARE OF HER” He spat as he raised his hand punching the wall. 

“ I know , I know but you have to try for the show at least do you just want let your , our fans down? “ 

“is that all you care about the damn fucking show!! “ he snapped back 

“Of course not , but is it doing anyone any good going off like a firecracker. You wont make it better you will make it worse. Push her even more to him?” 

"More to him?!? SHE MARRIED HIM!!!!!! no hint of anything just up and MARRIED THE BASTARD!!! told her father to pretty much fuck off... she's not his responsibility anymore?? what is that shit?!?! that's not my Lizzie I know and love!!! What did he do to her?!?1 I'm gonna kill him!!!!" 

Tico had been basically stay a distance from this because he actually knew what David was feeling. Though Beth was old enough to make her own decisions still it was a blow to him nevertheless . He finally somewhat come to terms with Beth and Jon . 

He stepped forward “ Dave I know what you are feeling man. I know it’s a bit different but still . It took me a bit to accept Jon and Beth . I didn't want to believe she was old enough to love anyone to know what she wanted yet in life. That she couldn't have grown up so fast . She is my Bethy, my girl . Now she doesn't need me anymore. That hurt that I wasn't number one in her life anymore. But as I stood back and watched how Jon is with her. The love that is there . I couldn't in good conscience deny this anymore. “ 

“Bethy aint 16!!!!!!!!!” he growled "17... whatever!!!!!! Oh my god!!" he yelled 

“No she isn't but still love doesn't know age, especially when these girls have grown up so close to all of us “ he put his hand on his shoulder." Dave I don't think she's doing this on purpose I think maybe she just.... was scared.....and.. well... you know how Richie is, has always been .... just does it doesn't think ya know... but maybe... you don't have to accept it but at least give them a chance to prove themselves..." 

“Umphhhhhhh “ and he stormed off .
