Chapter 480 - Las Vegas - after conference (1/2)

Sarah and Aiden checked in to a hotel in Las Vegas after they returned from security conference.

Plan is that they spend one night in Vegas for dinner with Mr. Patel, and next day they will head to Seattle. Orion Enterprise annual meeting is in five days, and until then Sarah wants to see Sophia's new house so that she can start planning for getting Eve there and also to check on their kids in the Cabin.

Sarah was happy that finally she can use Internet and her phone freely. She checked her phone first, and saw that she has number of messages from her sisters.

”I should call them and let them know we are OK.” Sarah mumbled as she checked messages. ”It seems they are worried…”

They exchanged few messages and agreed on a video conference since everyone was available.

”Hey, sorry to get you worried. But the conference we attended was off the grid, so we were not able to get back to you.”, Sarah said as soon as she logged in and saw that Sophia and JoAnna are giving her reprimanding looks.

”If you told us in advance, we would not be this worried.”, Sophia spoke for herself and for JoAnna.

”Sorry… but we didn't know either until we reached there.”, Sarah was apologetic.

”Jeff is still working. Where is brother-in-law?”, JoAnna asked seeing that Aiden is not next to Sarah.

”Shower. He should be out any minute…”, Sarah glanced toward the shower. ”How are things on your side?”

Sophia started. ”We ordered furniture and kitchen… it should all be ready in about one week. Then we can move into our new home.” She leaned onto Felix as she spoke.

”And we have new ultrasound pictures…”, Felix added proudly. ”I sent them in email.”

JoAnna nodded acknowledging that she saw the pictures.

Sarah saw Felix's expectant look and had to provide explanation, ”I still didn't get a chance to go through my emails. But I will check it after we finish this… Anna, anything new on your side in last few days?”

JoAnna was about to talk when Aiden came out of the bathroom. ”You started without me?” He sat next to Sarah.

”It's your fault for taking too long, hubby…” Sarah raised her hands to pinch his cheeks, but he held her hands in his, preventing her. He was happy that he blocked her cheek-pinching-attack this time.

”YOU GOT MARRIED?!!”, Sophia and JoAnna screamed in unison.

Sarah was confused, ”What?”

”How dare you get married without me there! I told you that I will not forgive you! You have sisters! How can you forget about us?! …”, JoAnna whined.

Sophia was only looking at Sarah with a slight frown. JoAnna was speaking for both of them.

Sarah waited for JoAnna to slow down, and then interrupted her whining by repeating her question, ”What?”

”Don't you 'what' me?! How can you do such a thing and get married without us…?”, JoAnna looked as if she is about to cry.

Sarah exhaled in frustration, ”Why do you think we got married?”

”You didn't?” JoAnna glared at Sarah. She didn't believe her.

”Why did you call him hubby?”, Sophia finally asked.

Aiden grinned and took the opportunity which Sarah's confusion provided to answer in her place, ”We are just practicing for the real thing.”

”Oh…”, JoAnna was not sure how to respond to this.
