“You were there for me when I needed you. And I hope to always be there for you when you need me. Even if you do rarely like to talk about yourself.”

Tanner smiled.

“I couldn’t be happier for you and Ash. I should have known as soon as she set me on fire that she’d be perfect for you.”

I laughed.

“I can’t wait for you two to have kids of your own. So all our children can grow up together as friends. Here’s to our future. Here’s to your future. And here’s to happily ever afters.”

“Here, here,” said Tanner. “Thanks, son.” And then he leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear: “I can’t wait to have kidseither. I had Nigel stop putting birth control in your green juice, just so you know.”

I laughed. “I know. And I’m not drinking it anyway.” I grabbed his hand. “I want all the babies. As soon as possible.”

He smiled down at me.

Someone started clinking their glass with a knife.

My eyes grew round. “Do they really expect me to give you a blowjob?”

Tanner laughed. “What? Why would you think that? Traditionally I believe it’s a kiss.”

“Are you sure? Weird. I dunno why I thought that…” I could have sworn it meant blowjobs.

Spaceboy took the mic back. “Now it’s time for the daddy daughter dance.”

Oh? Odd. But, okay.I stood up and walked toward Chastity’s daddy.

Cole stood up as I walked by his table. He winked at me.

Ah! No! You’re not my daddy!I ran over and grabbed Chastity’s father’s hand. I pulled him onto the dance floor.

“You look beautiful, Ash,” he said. “What a marvelous wedding.”

“Thanks, Daddy.”Ah. Why did I always call him that? “I mean Chastity’s daddy.”

He just laughed and twirled me around. “Chastity is so lucky to have a friend like you.”

He was going to make me cry. This was the best daddy daughter dance ever. And I hadn’t even realized it was a thing.

The song came to an end.

“Um...okay,” said Spaceboy. “Now let’s have the bride dance with her real father maybe?”

Oops...

My father stepped in to take Daddy’s place.

“Sorry about that,” I said.

He just smiled. “Congratulations, Ash.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

“This wedding was quite last minute. Are you...you know?”

“What?”

“Are you with child?”
