have happened over nothing!”
    Alicia nodded and grabbed her hand. “Hunter hasn’t been himself this week. He wants to sign that contract because it will keep him here with you but he knows if he does, he may have lost you forever.”
    She opened the car door and slammed it. Alicia followed her and grabbed her. “Madison, tell me why you are so upset.”
    “Because he ruined us over nothing, it’s the same thing that I have been fixated on for a month.”
    “Deep breath. You will be ok. Whatever happens, happens. You know that I’m on your side, I don’t agree with how Hunter handled the situation and believe me, he knows that. I think it’s time you take a break from all of it and just test the waters with someone else.”
    Madison groaned. “You are unreal. Can we focus on you for the next week, please?”
    She laughed. “Fine but I’m not giving up on you yet.”
    The rest of the afternoon was spent with Alicia’s family. Carter arrived after the tea was served. He kissed Alicia and greeted all the girls.
    “Hey sis, how’s it going?” he asked.
    “I’m good. How’s your side of the wedding functions going?”
    He laughed. “Good. We are going out tonight. The limo bus should be arriving within the next couple of hours. Hunter planned the night, so Lord knows where we are going.”
    “I asked Alicia if she wanted a crazy night and she said no. Her exact words were no respectable pregnant women would go out and party.”
    He laughed. “That’s my girl.”
    “Have fun tonight but not too much.” She hugged him as he went back to Alicia. She heard her phone beep as she reached into her purse. She noticed she missed a phone call from Hunter. She hit the play button.
    Hey Maddy, I just wanted to see if we could get together tomorrow and talk. With the wedding next Saturday, I don’t want anything to be awkward between us. I know we both want what is best for Carter and Alicia. Call me, ok?
    She put her phone back into her purse.  She sat down and watched Alicia bask in all the attention. She smiled as Alicia made a toast to her parents and her future husband. Once all the activities were over, Madison drove Alicia back to her house.
    They arrived just as the limo bus arrived at her house. Alicia laughed as she got out of the car. “Carter Sinclair! You better behave yourself tonight. You are going to be a father!”
    He hugged and kissed her. “Yes dear.”
    Madison noticed Hunter leaning against the bus as she walked over to him. “I got your voicemail.”
    He nodded. “Can we get together tomorrow?”
    She agreed. “Sure, why don’t you come over in the afternoon? I’m sure you will need your rest after tonight.”
    He grinned. “Yeah, the guys are ready to party.”
    “Just behave yourself and watch out for Carter.”
    Carter overheard them as he hopped onto the bus. “People need to stop worrying about me, I will be just fine!” He waved as he walked towards the back of the bus.
    Madison heard all the guys cheering for him as he took his seat. Hunter winked at Madison as he disappeared onto the bus. It pulled away from the house as Alicia hugged her. “Come on, let’s go inside.”
    She followed inside and helped her clean the house. They finished folding the wedding programs and she finished boxing the favors.
    Madison looked around the table and smiled. “We are done, Alicia. That’s it. We are ready for the wedding.”
    She started to cry. “I’m so excited but I haven’t told many people that I’m pregnant yet. Are people going to notice?”
    Madison reached for her hand. “God no, you are so thin. No one will know, Alicia. It’s still so early. Believe me you are so close to your wedding date, people will think you got knocked up on your wedding night.”
    She laughed. “Alright, I trust you. Before I forget, your parents are coming into town on Wednesday.”
    Madison groaned. She hadn’t said a word to them since the hockey season ended. “That’s ok. I will deal
