We exit the elevator and walk through the hallway. Right before we get to the door, I let go of Julia's hand and wrap my hands over her eyes. Mel opens the door, and Luca rushes forward, turning on all the fairy lights and the big sign in the back that says "Marry Us?"

"If I fall because I can't see, it's your fault," Julia grumbles.

"You know I will never let you fall," I whisper to her.

Mel walks over to me and takes my hand, and Kai lets go of Julia's hand. We walk over to the big sign and drop to our knees.

We hold a ring together, a 0.70 Carat G-VS2 Ideal cut radiant diamond garland sapphire and diamond engagement ring in platinum. We got the big diamond in the middle and a sapphire and a ruby on each side of the diamond to represent both Kai and me.

I give Mel a nod, and she drops her hands. Julia blinks a couple of times, and then her eyes focus on us. I smile up at her, and the emotions on her face make my stomach twist.

"We may have just met a few months ago, but you are the only person I can think about day and night. We have already been through hell and back, and now you are expanding our family. Let's make this official. Will you marry us?" My voice breaks near the end, and she smiles at me.

"You love me. You tolerate my brother. Let's stop pretending this ends any other way." Kai says, and I glare at him, then shake my head.

Julia now has tears down her face, looking between Kai and me.

"Say yes, little dove," Kai says, and Julia starts to nod her head.

"Y—Yes. Of course, yes." She runs up to us and wraps us both in a hug.

Kai and I pull back, and both slide the ring onto her finger.

"Perfect." I lift her chin and kiss her.

"Now the rule is, you can never take that off," Kai says, and Julia chuckles, wrapping us in a hug again and not letting go.

"This was such a great surprise," Julia says through the tears.

"So you don't hate them anymore?" I question.

"Oh, no. I still hate them." She laughs, pulling back from us.

"Well... we have one more," Kai says, and she looks up at him, scrunching her brows.

Luca clears his voice and straightens his tie.

"Will you marry us, now?" I ask.

She blinks at me, completely shocked. "Right now?"

"Yeah... Luca can ordain it; unfortunately, you can't legally marry both of us, but we can do the ceremony with both of us, and I will be the only one on the certificate with you." Kai explains, and my stomach turns. I hate the fact that Kai is the only one who gets to marry herlegally. I know that it was my idea, but fuck, this hurts worse than I thought it would.

"Wait." She holds up her hand to stop everyone. "I'm not marrying just one of you."

Her words send a sharp zap through my body, and I feel alive again. Just those words solidify everything in me. I grab her face in my hands and get her to look at me.

"Baby, you are only marrying him on paper. We have tried to find any backdoor way for you to legally marry both of us, but it's not a thing, unfortunately. But to the world, you are both of ours. There is no one in this world who will be able to take you from us. I will yell it from every rooftop and mountain if I have to. I will crawl on my knees to you in front of a crowd. I don't care, because regardless of anything, I will show the world you are mine, just as much as you are his."

She nods, then leans down to kiss me. "Well, stand up then. We need to get hitched." She smiles at us. Kai and I stand up instantly and grab her hands.

Luca stands in the middle of the words, holding his phone. Julia stands to his right with Mel next to her, and Kai stands to Luca's left with me next to him. He clears his throat like this is a business meeting and not a rooftop wedding in Vegas.

"We are gathered here," Luca says dryly, "because none of you listen to reason." I chuckle, Julia snorts, and Kai nudges me and smiles.

Luca continues, unfazed. "Julia agreed to marry two men who are allergic to communication. Kai agreed to feel feelings publicly... briefly. Mikey agreed to stop flirting for the duration of the ceremony."

I blink at Luca, confused, and raise my hand. "Um. No one said that."
