get dressed now.  They’ll
be here any minute.”
    Elliott sighed and said, “Can’t we just postpone this dinner
until tomorrow?  Maybe we could take everyone out for lunch instead.”
    Renee laughed as she stepped out of the shower and said,
“No, we can’t postpone until tomorrow.  They’re probably on their way here by
now.”
    Renee and Elliott quickly dressed and went into the kitchen
where Liza and Joe were putting the finishing touches on dinner.
    Joe said teasingly, “We were beginning to think that you two
got sucked down the drain or something in there.”
    Renee blushed slightly and Elliott shook his head.
    Before he could say anything, Lena and Ben were pulling into
the driveway. 
    Liza opened the door and hugged Lena and Ben.  She said,
“It’s so good to see you two.  How are you?”
    Lena said, “I’m so glad the two of you could come out to see
us.  We didn’t get to spend nearly enough time together in New York.”
    After a few more minutes, Kayla and Mik arrived.  Kayla
hugged Liza and Joe and said, “Sorry we’re late, but Mik had to finalize some paperwork
before leaving the campus this evening.”
    After a few minutes of chatting and getting caught up, Renee
said, “Liza cooked dinner for us tonight and trust me, she is an amazing chef. 
I am absolutely starving right now, so let’s all move into the kitchen so we
can eat.”
    After Ben said the prayer, pots were passed around so that
everyone could get a serving of the delicious-smelling meal that Liza had
prepared. 
    Ben said, “E, you better hold on to that one.  Beauty,
brains, and a good cook?  Doesn’t get any better.”
    E said, “Oh, believe me, I know I got it good like that.” 
    Everyone laughed as Liza blushed at E’s and Ben’s
compliments.
    Liza said, “I certainly appreciate it, but before you say
anything else, let’s see how dessert tastes.”
    Kayla helped Liza bring out cheesecake slices for everyone, 
    The cheesecake was absolutely divine and everyone said so. 
    Lena said, “Oh my goodness, that was delicious.  How in the
world do you and E manage to remain so fit with good eating like that?”
    Liza laughed and said, “Please believe me when I tell you I
don’t cook like this all the time.  Only for very special occasions”
    Kayla was talking to Renee and Liza.  “Aunt Liza, I can’t
wait for you and Uncle Joe to come over and see our place.  Do you think you
can come over tomorrow?” 
    As Kayla was inquiring to Liza about coming over, she
happened to catch a glimpse of Renee’s hands.
    “Mom, Kayla said as she took Renee’s left hand.  “That
ring.  It’s beautiful.  When did you get it?”
    Elliott was in earshot.  He quickly excused himself from his
conversation with the other gentleman and walked over to where Renee was
sitting on the sectional.
    Renee smiled at Kayla and then at Elliott.
    Elliott said, “We wanted you all to come over this evening
to help us celebrate our best friends coming into town.  They’ve been so good
to us through everything.  And now we’re here.”
    Joe was pouring glasses of champagne as Elliott continued.
    “Renee and I love each other so much.  We always have and
always will.  Renee and I are getting married in two weeks.” 
    Lena’s eyes were filling with tears.  She said, “This is the
best news ever.  I knew it would happen soon.  I’m so happy right now for our
son and now Renee is going to be like a daughter for us.”
    Renee’s eyes started to mist with tears as well.  She looked
up at Elliott and smiled.
    Renee said, “We have so much to be happy about.  Elliott
finding me and the kids.  Me coming to my senses and coming here to get married
to and spending my life with Elliott.   Making a baby with Elliott.”
    The room went silent.
    Then a burst of excitement as Kayla squealed, “Mom, Dad! 
You’re having a baby?”
    Kayla pulled Renee into a tight hug and then Elliott.
    Lena was laughing now and saying,
