Is this destiny?

Sarah and Aiden made plans for an active afternoon, but now that they found out that Sophia is pregnant, their plans had to be altered.

Early morning, before guests came, Sarah was wrecking her brain what is most suitable, and to Aiden's horror, she booked a full treatment in a luxury spa for all six of them.

"Men don't do spas!" He objected firmly.

"Yes, they do!" Sarah retorted. "Look here! They have men's facials and manicures and all kinds of treatments specific for men!"

"Those are not real men! Real men don't need to be pampered like that!" His objections fell on deaf ears. After some time, he gave up, hoping that once Jeff and Felix arrive, he will have support.

…

They finished their discussions and Sarah told them that they are going for a lunch in a grand private suite, and after that they will have customized treatments. "We got lunch, whole afternoon of pampering, and a dinner! We can also use that suite overnight. There are three bedrooms."

Aiden looked at Jeff and Felix expecting that they will object to this girly-themed afternoon. He was disappointed.

Felix was excited. "I could use some professional nail care. Do they do haircuts also?"

Jeff didn't seem to care. He had only one question, "Are we going to be separated for treatments?"

"Nope! Suite has a large area, with chairs that fully recline to a flat position, so we are all going to be in the same space! There is no need for us to leave the suite at all." Sarah's response made Jeff happy. If he is with JoAnna, he is happy.

Aiden felt that he now he has no right to object. He is doomed for an afternoon of girly pampering.

…

As soon as they entered the room in Beverly Hills spa, girls liked what they saw. Spacious living room with a large curved sofa where at least ten grown up people can sit comfortably, facing a gigantic flat screen TV. There is a separate dining room, large treatment-room and three bedrooms, each with a king size bed and full bathroom. Girls went to pick one room each, and looked through the menu, discussing lunch options.

When they ordered food, Sarah saw Aided look through the list of services offered by the spa.

"Don't worry about that." Sarah took the booklet from Aiden's hands. "We already scheduled treatments for all of us."

Aiden felt that he is sinking deeper in the sofa. 'What girly things did you get for me?' But he could not make himself voice his complaints when he saw how happy Sarah is. He repeated to himself that it's only one afternoon. He will survive.

During lunch Aiden forgot about his concerns. Girls chatted lively and made whole atmosphere very pleasant.

"I was about to ask... what will you do for your birthday?" Sophia brought the topic.

"As usual." Sarah smiled. "We are leaving next Sunday."

"We can join for few days, right?" JoAnna asked.

"Oh... maybe not such a good idea. Sophia is pregnant." Sarah thought for a moment. "How about we meet on Saturday and do something? Then you don't need to travel. We will be in Seattle, so we can meet there. Anna, can you come?"

"Shorter trip than going to Europe. We will be there!" JoAnna confirmed. "Also, my future hubby still didn't meet Edward and Stella in person since we got engaged. So, we can combine that."

Jeff melted when he heard JoAnna call him 'future hubby', but in next instant he stiffened up. 'Meet Anna's parents? I need to leave good impression!'

They agreed that on next Saturday, they will spend a day in Seattle. Maybe even have a party in the evening in Hill family villa. After that, next Sunday, Sarah and Aiden will fly to Europe to spend five days hopping through cities on the coast of Adriatic Sea, celebrating her birthday. Aiden was excited to see how Sarah usually celebrates her birthday, and he hopes that she will like his present.

"Sarah, Anna, I hope you keep your June 28th free." Sophia remembered to remind them. "Orion Enterprise annual meeting. There will be a gathering after that. But I hope you will come for meeting. Felix will be presenting some of his latest work in front of the whole company!" Sophia beamed.

Felix nervously smiled. He never spoke in front of a big audience. He was most comfortable in his lab, tinkering with electronic and designing gadgets. Speaking in front of a large crowd is not his thing.

"I will make sure to mark my calendar." JoAnna smiled, she noticed that Felix paled.

"Hmm... that is after our security conference." Sarah told Aiden while checking her calendar. "We will be there... Oh, by the way, Sophia, is there any chance you can postpone telling mom and dad about your pregnancy until Saturday? We will all be there, and we get to witness in person." Sarah quickly explained with a huge grin.

"I guess... " Sophia looked at Felix who smiled in approval. "Yes. No problem."

Sarah and JoAnna were very happy about this. They started guessing how their parents will react.

Shortly after, small army of beauticians arrived, providing manicures, pedicures and facials at the same time.

Aiden was surprised that it felt... nice. It was soothing and he found that scent of products used was pleasing.

Before massages started, Jeff thought about who will massage him and JoAnna. He has an objection to allow a male to massage JoAnna. At the same time, a male massaging him also didn't seem right. In his mind, he decided that both of them will be massaged by females. He was shocked when he saw six males enter to provide massages. It's not just that a male will be touching him, but another one will be touching JoAnna!

JoAnna realized that Jeff is about to blow a fuse and used all her might to coax him. Eventually he calmed down, but he still called management requesting replacement, he and JoAnna will be massaged by females! When Felix and Aiden saw that is an option, they called management as well. At the end, all of them got massage treatments by females.

"Next time it's just us girls!" JoAnna protested. She glanced at a lady who was warming up the oil for massage. "Nothing against you, but I would like a guy to rub my back." She taunted Jeff.

"Hmph! Just see if I will let you go for a massage without me." Jeff grumbled.

They all laughed. Well, all of them laughed, except for Jeff. He really meant it. No man will be rubbing JoAnna's back! No one, except for him.

Massages started, and they all relaxed. Few minutes later, they heard Felix complain, "Not there... you should do that here... No, no... like this..." One by one, Jeff, JoAnna, Sarah and Aiden lifted their heads to see the scene where Felix is standing in his robe next to Sophia and giving a hard time to the lady massaging her. The lady who was supposed to massage Felix was sitting in a nearby chair, waiting for him to get down so she can start. Few minutes later, two masseuses were sitting while watching Felix massage Sophia.

Hill sisters confirmed: "Next time we are coming without guys."

Sarah was surprised that Aiden was quiet and not complaining. She turned her head and saw him with his eyes closed, and a blissful smile while enjoying the massage. His nails were neatly done, and his face was nearly glowing after a facial. She wanted to tease him, that he is enjoying a girly-pampering, how he called it, but decided not to. 'I think I found my spa-buddy..' Sarah knows that if she starts teasing Aiden, his ego will kick in and he will probably refuse to join her next time.
