Chapter 9
The next morning, Sapphire was happily making breakfast when the doorbell rang. "Can you get it Jeff?" she asked, as he nodded. He opened the door and immediately, Trish hugged him. "How are the newly engaged couple!" she yelled happily. "Hey Chica," Sapphire said, as she hugged her. "Oh my God, the ring looks great on you," Trish replied, as she sat down on the couch. "I'm making breakfast, you want some?" Sapphire asked, as Trish rubbed her stomach. "Yes I do please. I am so hungry," she answered, as Jeff sat on the couch. A minute later, Sapphire sat down as well. She cuddled close to Jeff and smiled. "You are so, so cute. You are like a teddy bear," she said, as she kissed him. "You guys go so well together," Trish said, smiling. "Yes we do," Jeff replied, hugging Sapphire tight. An hour later they were finished eating breakfast and on their way to visit Jeff's dad, Gilbert. When they arrived there, Gilbert happily hugged Sapphire. "Welcome to the family!" he exclaimed, as all four of them sat down on the couch. "Thank you so much," she replied, almost in tears. It was nothing to cry about, but she was just so happy. "No need to thank me. I waited for a long time 'till Jeff found the perfect woman and you sure are that woman," Gilbert said, as she smiled. "I'm really happy you feel that way. I love Jeff more than anything," she replied, kissing him. "I see that, oh and congrats on your title win!" he exclaimed, as she laughed. "Thank you," she said, shortly.

Everything had gone by so fast. The story of her life, her love and now her engagement had gone by rapidly. Here she was with Trish, in the limo, taking her to the church where her wedding would take place. As she waited until they got there, Trish took out a gift. "This is from Jeff to you," she said, handing Sapphire the gift. She opened the card and read. My Baby Sapphire, These are for you to wear on our wedding day. Hope you like them. Jeff
She opened the gift anxiously and smiled when she saw what it was. He had made armbands especially for her. They were white with pearls on them. She slipped them on and started to laugh. "I cannot believe he made these. They are beautiful," she said, as Trish nodded. "Totally. You get my present later, hee hee," she replied with a sneaky look. "Tell me what it is!" Sapphire exclaimed. But before Trish could reply, the car stopped. "Excuse me, this isn't the church! Driver, this isn't the church," Sapphire yelled. The driver looked back at her with a frightened look on his face. "Ma'am we ran out of gas," he said, as Sapphire's jaw dropped. "What are you talking about? We couldn't have lost gas!" she exclaimed, as the man shrugged. "I'm sorry," he answered, as she opened the door. "Sorry my ass!" she yelled, as she started running. "Where are you going?" she heard Trish ask, but she kept on running and running. She needed to get to that church.
Meanwhile, back at the church everyone was waiting impatiently. "Do you think she changed her mind about marrying me?" Jeff asked, as Matt shook his head. "Of course not man. She loves you. She probably is just running late," he answered reassuringly. "I hope so Matt. I really do hope so," Jeff said, as he looked at the door again and waited for her arrival.
