Mac and Felicia: Childhood Love Reunited
The Relationship, the Engagement, and the Announcement-Part 3
Mac had Tony follow him to another corner and asked, "Is it ok with you that Lucas is the ring bearer?"
"Why of course, he would love to do it!"
Towards the end of the party Mac and Felicia found their way into each other's arm and embraced.
"Hey Mac who did you ask to be your groomsmen?"
"Sean, Tony, Dillon, Jesse, Spinelli."
"How about the ring bearer?"
"Lucas"
"Good choice, how about best man?"
"My brother, of course."
"Of course, of course."
"How about you who did you ask to be a part of your bridal party?"
"Tiffany, Anna, Maxie, Georgie, Bobbie, and Tiffany's daughter and my namesake
Felicia or Flicka."
"How about the maid of honor and the flower girl?"
"Robin and Kristina Corinthos-Jacks respectively"
"Almost completely perfect expect now I realize that I need one more groomsmen, got a suggestion?"
"Yeah Sean and Tiffany's son Frisco who was named after someone we all used to
know."
"That is a perfect choice. Let's go find them right now."
As now the party has ended, Sean and his family were not hard to find.
"Hey Sean I have met your son and he seems really well-rounded for his age, think he would like be a groomsmen as well?"
"Sure thing,"
When Andrew was asked he like his sister accepted with great humility.
Later that night at Mac's place (by this time Felicia, Maxie, and Georgie had moved in with Mac) Mac and Felicia were at the fireplace relaxing after a day of joyous celebration with their friends and family.
Mac then suddenly asked, "Hey sweetheart have you picked out a date for our wedding?"
"Do you have any idea?"
"I am letting you pick."
"Hmmm, how about April 17, 2012, about four months from now?"
"Are you sure that will be enough time to get ready?"
"Sure I know where to look for help. How about the location, you get to pick
(the destination)."
"How about at a church in Rio de Janeiro?"
"You want to do a destination wedding?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Oh I have something
to give you, my first early Christmas gift to you as your
fiancé."
Mac got up from the couch, went over the Christmas
tree and got a small package and handed it to Felicia.
"What is it my darling?"
"Open and find out."
Felicia delicately took off the wrapping paper and opened the box that appeared and let out a quiet gasp. In the box was a silver bracelet encrusted with diamonds.
"Sweetie this is breathtaking."
"Look inside."
With a quizzical look on her face, Felicia looked inside and saw the inscription.
"To my darling Felicia, you are the love of my life."
"I could not quite fit it all one bracelet so here is the other half."
Mac handed the Felicia a small envelope, she opened and read the rest:
"I never stopped loving you even after you moved back to Texas. I am looking forward to our future together."
"Oh sweetheart thank you I love it! Now that you gave me my present early I will give you your present early as well."
Felicia did the same, went over the tree and picked up a box and handed it to Mac.
"What is it?"
"Open it."
Mac smoothly and effortlessly took off the wrapping paper, opened the box and saw a sterling silver watch.
"Felicia this is incredible, but how were you able to afford this?"
"Well Tony, Bobbie, Maxie, Georgie, and I chipped in order for me to get the watch to give to you. It suits you now that you are the Police Chief. Read the note included."
December 23, 2011
To Mac:
I will always love you no matter what happens. We are in this together from now to the end of time.
Love Yours For Eternity,
Felicia
"Felicia, you are the best, I have been wanting this watch for sometime and you read my mind!"
After the gift exchange, Felicia and Mac cuddled in each other's arms and soon fell fast asleep.
The day before New Years Eve Felicia along with Mac, Maxie, and Georgie flew to
Texas to surprise Maria. On the car ride there, they were engaged in a flurry of
conversations.
"Boy will great-grandmother will be surprised to see us," said Georgie, "I have not seen her in a long time!"
"I know me neither," said Maxie.
"You are two are both correct, but Mac has not seen her since we were young, isn't that right pumpkin?"
"Yes you are correct, do you think she will still recognize me?"
"Of course she will, she told me that you made a very good impression on her."
"Okay we are almost there."
Before long they were at the front door of the hacienda and Felicia knocked on the door and Maria opened to great surprise on her face.
"Oh my Felicia, how are you? I did not know that you were coming, this is quite a surprise."
"There are three other people here with me as well."
"Oh who?"
"Hi great-grandma!" Maxie and Georgie said in unison.
"Oh my, your mom is right, you two have grown into lovely young women. The last I
saw the two of you, you two were in middle school."
"There is one other person."
"Hello Maria, how are you? It is has been a long time since we last met."
"My, Malcolm you have become even more handsome since I last saw you."
Felicia whispered to Mac, "See I told you she recognized you."
After a time of catching Mac, Maxie, Georgie went to bed but Felicia chatted with Maria for a bit longer.
"Oh grandmother I promised I would tell you the day I would be getting married. Mac and I decided on April 17, 2012 so in less than 4 months."
"My that is only in a few short months, are you going to manage?"
"Yes I have complete faith in my bridal party to help me out."
"And have you figured out the location of where the ceremony is going to take place?"
"Well I let Mac pick the place and he picked Rio De Janeiro, Brazil."
"A destination wedding, that is going to suit you both very well, I have also wanted to go there and heard it is very pretty there during fall."
"Oh I am also thinking of picking you up on the way over there. This way you get to ride with my bridal party and Mac and his groomsmen."
"Wonderful idea darling, I am glad to see that you have this all under control."
Felicia and Maria then decided to retire for the night for the next few nights would be the beginning of what would lead up to her big day.
