Chapter 3
"You mean, we're..." She trailed off. "Married? Ummm... Yeah, looks like it." he finished. They both sat down on the bed and stayed in complete silence as they tried to comprehend what had happened. As they sat there, the memories slowly flooded their minds. "Wow" was all she could muster.
"Yeah, wow..." was all he could think to say. They stayed silent for another few minutes. She was the first to speak "So... what do we do now?" Looking up at the clock, it was almost noon, he responded "Well, for right now at least, we need to get dressed and downstairs to set up for tomorrow night's show. As for the rest... I guess we'll figure all of that out later." "What's to figure out? We're married and who knows, might have a kid on the way soon!" She was almost yelling and was back to pacing again. He stood up, hugging her again. "Calm down... Look, we can't change what happened. All we can do now is focus on the future. Besides, being married to me isn't really THAT bad, now is it?!" She chuckled and smiled. "No, I guess not. But, why would you or anyone for that matter ever want to be married to me? I can't cook, I'm messy, I'm moody, I'm short-tempered and I'm definitely NOT a morning person!" He looked deep into her eyes and quietly replied "You know exactly why..." His reference to that night they spent in the 'Chrome Cat' on her 17th birthday was not lost on her. She practically jumped off the floor and into his arms. When she finally reached the floor she shifted nervously before looking back up at him. "I guess I can always go get that 72 hour pill everyone's always talking about. It'll just be weird trying to find a doctor here who can keep his mouth shut." He pulled her back him and kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry about it... We'll risk it. No matter what happens, no regrets. Right?" "Right..." she replied but then asked. "But are you sure about this? Really?" "Really... I love you. I always have and I always will." She gasped and asked "You love me?" but he continued as if he didn't notice. "I just wish I hadn't been so stupid and such a chicken and told you the truth before. I wish it wouldn't have taken a lot of alcohol to finally tell you how I really feel. And if the woman I love, the woman who's now my wife, is having my baby, why wouldn't I want that? But you're the one I'm worried about, I mean you're only 18. Are you ready for all of this?" He was rambling but she didn't care, he had finally said those three words she had been waiting all these years to hear. She finally interrupted him and answered him with a kiss. His shocked expression quickly faded and he quickly responded by pulling her even closer to him. When they finally pulled apart she looked him in eyes and finally said the words he'd been dreaming of since the day he met her. "I love you" He pulled her into the kiss this time. When he pulled back he whispered breathlessly "I love you too, Mrs. Quincy". "Mrs. Quincy, huh. I think I could get used to that." She smiled and kissed him again. "Me too" he replied. They continued kissing for what seemed like an eternity until reality finally hit them. "Oh man, what do we tell everyone? You know Sadie is gonna kill me for not only getting married before her, but for getting married without her there! And what about Darius and, oh no, what about my dad?! Well, I hope you had fun last night because we're both gonna be dead soon!" He smiled as he stopped her once again pacing with a hug and a kiss on the top of her head. "They'll just have to accept it. There's no way I'm letting you go again. There's been so many stupid things I've done in my life, but this will never be one of them. I love you and no one is going to tear us apart." She smiled at his sincerity, the look in his eyes told her every word was straight from his heart. Looking back down momentarily she asked "What about the media? You know the press will have a field day with this." "I don't care. But we should probably tell everyone before they do. That's not really the best way to find out that your youngest daughter just got married to her producer. But for the rest of the world... I don't know. You could always announce it at your concert tomorrow night?" He responded. "Okay, sounds good to me... But we should probably get started telling everyone, there's no telling how much the press knows already or who could've been lurking outside of the chapel last night." "You've got a point" he retorted. "But first..." He trailed off as he grabbed his new bride by the waist, puling her into another deep, passionate kiss. He pulled her down onto the bed as he continued his assault on her lips. When they finally came up for air she pulled him close to her in a hug, she couldn't deny it felt right. She looked at her left hand and stated "You know, you really have good taste in jewelry. But where did we find a jewelry store that late at night?!" He chuckled as he replied "It's funny, that's the only part you can't remember. With most girls, that's the only thing they care about." She rolled her eyes as he continued. "And you know that's one of the many reasons why I love you." He pecked her on the lips as he finally answered her "But to answer your question, the engagement ring here, I already had. But the wedding bands, we got downstairs. You forget that this hotel has lots of stores in it, including a 'Tiffany's'." He finished as he kissed each of the rings and then her lips. Puzzled, she looked back to him and asked "You already had it? You mean you proposed with a ring you bought for someone else?" She pushed him off of her as she was starting to get mad. "How could you? Which one of your floozies did you get this for, and please don't say Sadie?!" She was trying to continue, but he cut her off with a kiss that left her speechless. "Sorry, but that was the only way to get you to shut up long enough for me to explain. No, I didn't buy that ring for some floozy. I bought that ring for you! I've had it for years now, actually. When I went to Europe with Sadie, I missed you so much that you were all I could think about. I came up with every excuse I could think of to get away from her. One day I went for a walk and saw this in the window of an old antique shop. Instantly, I knew it was something that you would love, so I bought it. I've held onto it ever since, knowing that one day I would have the chance to give it to you." She was in tears by the time he finished. "You've really had this since I was 16?" He simply nodded his head in response. "Oh, Tommy, I'm so sorry. I love you so much! I love it, I really do." They both smiled and she almost tackled him back onto the bed. As they started to kiss, he whispered into her ear "I love you too, Quincy." "God, I love the sound of that!" She almost screamed. He couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as she started to kiss him again. As the kiss intensified they quickly forgot about the rest of the world. "Now I know you're now a pro at this, but let's re-try that special first time we were talking about?" He seductively whispered into her ear. "Sounds good to me... just don't expect to get out of here anytime soon! I have MANY years of pent of frustration caused by you to get out!" She breathlessly retorted. He simply smirked as he pulled the comforter off of his new bride. As he gazed up and down her body he happily exclaimed "I am a REALLY lucky man!"
