"Babe? You ready?" Matt asked Joella as he sat the last of their luggage by the door.

"Yeah, I'm coming." She said as she walked out of the bathroom.

Matt and Joella had spent a week on their honeymoon in Italy before needing to go back home.

"I swear we're leaving with more luggage than what we came with because someone did some shopping." Matt chuckled.

"Hey, I can't help it. I wanted to bring back souvenirs for our family." Joella giggled with shrug.

"Yeah I know." He grinned then noticed the cab pull up, "Car's here to take us to the airport.

With that they loaded everything into the back of the cab then headed for the airport.

"Here's to a long flight back." Joella giggled as the plane they were on took off.

"It's only 12 hours." Matt smirked like it wasn't that long.

"Yeah only." She shook her head, "Thankfully these seats are comfortable."

"That's for damn sure. So did you have fun?" He asks as he wraps his arm around her shoulders.

"Of course I did." She nods and laid her head on his shoulder.

They had a layover in Illinois and while having to wait for the next flight Matt excused himself away.

But as she was waiting, she realized he had been gone for a while and decided to go see where he was or what was taking him so long.

As she turned to walk in the direction he went, she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh, my bad. Sorry." She smiled sympathetically. She then recognized him, "Holy shit, you're Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach."

"No, you're good. A gorgeous lady like yourself can bump into me any day." The guy smiled back. "And yes I am."

"Thank you." Joella blushed.

He then held his hand out, "So what's your name?"

"Joella Sanders." She held her left hand out to shake his so he'd see her ring.

And of course he noticed it, "Ah should have known, gorgeous lady bumps into me and my luck she's already got someone." He smirks.

She nods and was getting ready to say something when another voice spoke up.

"My man, Jacoby, wouldn't be hitting on my wife would he?" Matt smirked.

"Nah man, never." Jacoby chuckled, "So you're the lucky bastard who won over this girls heart huh?"

"That I am." Matt grinned.

"I heard you got married, congrats man." He said as they did a manly hug.

"Thanks man."

"Well I must be going, it was a pleasure to meet you Joella."

"Same to you." She smiled and waved. Then as soon as he was gone she turned to Matt, "Wow can't believe I got to meet Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach. That's such a good band."

"Yeah, they pretty good."

"So, where did you run off to?"

"Just confirming something. We're not talking a plane back. How does riding a helicopter back home sound?"

"Are you serious?" Joella raised her eyebrows at him. "That sounds awesome baby." She smiled as she clapped her hands slightly.

He knew she'd always wanted to ride in one and hadn't had the chance so he made it possible just for her.

As soon as they got home though, they got a surprise, their close family was there and was throwing a welcome home party for them. Everyone was excited to have them back and loved that they got souvenirs at the same time.

"So how was Italy?" Gena asked Joella.

"It was Ah-Mazing!" Joella gushed.

"So what did you two do?" Michelle winked.

Joella giggled than answered, "A little bit of everything pretty much."

"Did you even get out of the room?" Lacey smirked with a wink.

"Oh my God Lace!" Joella laughed softly then nodded, "Why yes we did. Just because we were on our honeymoon doesn't mean we spent the whole time on the room making love."

"Hey you never know." Lacey laughed, "I know on mine and Johnny's honeymoon we spent most of our time in our suite."

"Oh my." Joella laughed shaking her head.

"So Jo, question for you. Val and me have decided to come up with our own line of sunglasses and we was wondering if maybe you'd want to help?"

"Help how?"

"Any way you want really. You have a good sense of fashion and you could help with choosing designs or whatever."

"That would be fun. I'd be happy to help, but I'd want to be a silent help. Meaning this would be yours and Val's company and I want to be just behind the scene type of thing. So would it be only sunglasses?"

"That would be perfectly fine." Val grinned, "Thank you so much for wanting to help though. And yes, it'd be only sunglasses."

"Well you guys should add more than just sunglasses, I bet people would love to buy other products from you girls too."

"Like what?" Michelle asked.

"Well you girls could add some tops to the line that would be a hit." Joella suggested, "Or how about some other accessories like jewelry because people love to accessorize their whole outfit with that sorta stuff."

"That's an amazing idea!" The twins beamed.

"See, that's why we asked you for your help. You're good with ideas." Michelle grinned.

"So, what are you guys going to call the line?" Joella asked.

"Well... we were thinking of calling it Saint Owen." Val smiled.

"That's brilliant." Joella clapped once, "Well you two have my full support."

"Yay." Val clapped, "Thank you."

"Although, you girls could have still done it without me. You make it sound like you needed my permission." Joella giggled.

"Did we? Oops didn't mean for it to sound that way." Michelle giggled with a shrug.

Gena then stood up, "I'm going for a refill, anyone want anything?"

The girls each said what they wanted and she disappeared inside.

But after a few minutes she hadn't returned so Joella decided to see what was taking her so long. After she walked into the house, she heard some noises coming from the laundry room so quietly walked over to investigate.

"Mm Zack, shit." She heard some quiet moans.

Her mouth dropped and she covered her mouth to keep from busting up laughing so she grabbed the drinks and walked back out.

"Everything okay?" Lacey asked as Joella sat the drinks down.

"Oh everything is good for her...and for Zack." She winked then lowered her voice, "I uh kinda heard them in the laundry room. If you know what I mean." She winked which the girls busted up laughing knowing what she was talking about.

"But in your guys laundry room? Really? Of all places." Val laughed.

"Hey." Joella shrugged with a giggle, "Maybe one of them spilled something on their clothes and he decided to wash them and she was praising him."

"Oh my God!" Michelle laughed.

"You all are being awful loud with your laughing over here what's so funny?" Brian smirked.

"Nothing!" The girls laughed.
