"What if I don’t want a spring wedding?" Andrew asked tentatively, just to see. Maxwell turned to look at him, and he could feel Thomas and Luis look at him as well.

"You don’t? Did you have a particular season you wanted? I’m a little opposed to fall since that is when Ben and Amir got married, but I am open to all of them. Even...Even winter. As long as it’s inside." Maxwell said, laying down the law. Andrew didn’t actually have any protest to the fact that it was in spring, he just didn’t like that they were discussing this without his input.

But seeing Maxwell stare up at him, his blue eyes sparkling as he stared at Andrew made the man just melt. What was he trying to do? What was he trying to say? He was going to go along with whatever Maxwell wanted. He had very few strong opinions when it came to weddings, especially his own.

"I don’t really care what season. I just don’t like how it feels like you guys are planning this without me." Andrew said, pouting. Maxwell’s eyes widened, before he glanced at his parents. They seemed a little shocked as well, before Luis’ expression softened.

"Oh Andy. There isn’t a wedding without you in it. Mm. Let’s discuss this again when Andrew isn’t in the last throes of his rut, hmm? I think we’ll have a better time then, and no one will get that upset. Plus, Amir might be upset that he was excluded from the talks." Luis said, a smile on her face, in her eyes. Thomas laughed.

"Just Amir? Ben will be livid if he isn’t involved. Will, well, he’s been..." They grew silent, some of the joy leaving their face as they brought up the third Beckett son. Andrew could sense something wasn’t quite right.

"Is something wrong with William?" Andrew asked. He couldn’t tell if they wanted someone to ask about him, or if they wanted to leave it. From the reaction they gave after the words left his mouth, it was the latter.

"Nothing out of the ordinary." Thomas said, sighing. He ran a hand through his black hair. He suddenly looked exhausted. "He was caught in another cheating scandal. Rue’s family is at our necks, pissed that this keeps happening. We have a meeting with Rue later today to discuss what steps they want to take moving forward." Oo. That did not sound good.

When Andrew looked at Maxwell, he seemed upset, but it didn’t appear to be a new type. Andrew already knew that William was a serial cheater, but that didn’t mean it made it easier on his family when he did it. Especially when they all appeared to like his fiance, and there was an obvious reason that they were still together.

"Does William not like Rue?" Andrew asked and Maxwell let out a deep sigh.

"No. He actually has told us that he quite likes Rue." Maxwell told him, and that only confused Andrew more. He had to know that his actions were hurting the person he cared about, right? He wasn’t an idiot. Hell, the man was a Doctor, and was in charge of a damn hospital that his family ran. He wasn’t allowed to be an idiot.
