The next day the whole family had an early breakfast. Mary and Robbie sat
next to each other, they smiled and laughed at each other's jokes, they
shared kisses, and acted like an engaged couple. They talked about wedding
plans and were all very excited, except Eric, he was giving them both angry
glances. Annie picked up on this, and every time Eric was going to make a
comment to Mary or Robbie, she would kick him. Mary noticed her dad's
anger, but she didn't pay it any mind. After they all finished breakfast
they quickly went back to their rooms, to get their baggage. They checked
out of the hotel, and hailed taxis to the airport. They got their boarding
passes, and waited for the plane to be ready.
Five minutes after they sat down, their flight was called. They went in line, and boarded the plane. Again, they had the same seating arrangements as before. Robbie and Mary sat next to each other. They talked for most of the flight, but at the end Robbie fell asleep. Mary watched him sleep, and she played with his soft hair, while his head was on her shoulder.
"We are now entering the California area, please fasten your seatbelts, put all tray tables in the upright and locked position, and prepare for landing."
Robbie stirred slightly, and Mary nudged him awake.
"Baby, wake up. We are going to land soon."
"Oh okay," said Robbie waking up.
The plane landed and they gathered their baggage. Then they went out to the parking garage, and picked up the cars they had left there. When they got home, they all put their things away and relaxed. At around 3:00 p.m., Mary decided to start moving her stuff into her new apartment.
"Robbie, can you help me move?"
"Sure, anything thing for my wife to be." He said laughing. He picked her up, and carried her upstairs, while she was laughing in his arms.
They passed Eric on the way upstairs, he gave them a very stern look, and quickly walked down the stairs.
"What was that all about?" asked Robbie, as he dropped her on Lucy's bed.
"I don't know."
"Well whatever, let's start moving."
First they moved all her clothes, and put them away in her new closet. Then they took all her belongings she had left in the room, and moved them. The apartment already had furniture, so they didn't have to move any heavy things. Mary and Robbie sat sitting on her bed, in her apartment. They were tired from the plane ride, and from manual labor, so they both fell asleep. Robbie had his arms around her waist, and they were sleeping peacefully, until Eric came in.
Upon seeing Robbie and Mary in the same bed he got mad, he walked quickly over to the bed, and jerked Mary awaked.
"Whoa dad, god I was sleeping." Said Mary groggily.
"Yeah that's the problem, you were sleeping." Said Eric fuming, "why the hell are you in the same bed as him?"
All the yelling woke Robbie up.
"Dad, this isn't the first time we have shared a bed, god we're engaged."
"Yeah, and do you think I am happy about that?" he yelled.
"You know what I don't care if you are happy, its my life." Mary yelled back.
"Whatever, go marry him, see if I give a damn." He yelled, and stormed out of the house.
Mary burst into tears, and collapsed on Robbie's chest.
"I hate him." She sobbed.
"Don't say that Mary, it will be alright. Don't worry, he probably is just afraid of loosing you."
"I am sorry you had to hear that."
"Its okay. Now lets go down to your house and eat."
They both made their way down stairs. When they got in the kitchen they saw the whole family at the table, except Eric.
"Mary, do you know where you're dad is?" asked Annie.
"I could less where the hell he went."
"Mary? What is that all about?"
"Dad came up to my apartment, and he saw Robbie and I taking a nap, and he freaked out. He was like 'go get married see if I give a damn', then he stormed out." Said Mary.
"Oh, god I can't believe him."
"Whatever please lets just forget about him, and have dinner."
They all ate quietly, after dinner Mary went out back and shot hoops.
"How 'bout a little game of one on one?" asked Robbie coming out of the house.
"Sure, but you do know you're gonna loose." Said Mary teasing him.
"We'll just see about that."
They started playing, they both were having too much fun to care who was winning or not. Mary was going for a lay-up, and Robbie grabbed her and started tickling her, until she let go of the ball.
"Hey! No fair, you're cheating."
"Me? Cheating?"
"Yes you." Said Mary still laughing.
"Robbie telephone." Called Lucy, from the door.
Robbie picked Mary up, and carried her into the house. He sat her on the counter, and picked up the phone.
"Hello." Said Robbie cheerfully. After he'd been talking for about 2 minutes, his once cheerful expression, changed to a worried and sad one.
He hung up the phone, and Mary eager to know what changed his mood asked him, "You okay? Who was that?"
"It was my brother. My mom… she is…. In the…hospital." said Robbie trying not to cry.
"Oh my god, is she okay? What's wrong?"
"Mary if she is in the hospital, do you think she is okay?" Robbie snapped.
"I am sorry, what's wrong?"
"She has been having health problems, and she just collapsed." Said Robbie.
"Don't worry, I am sure she'll be fine."
"No Mary, she might not be fine." He said grabbing his car keys and walking out the door.
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business."
"Robbie… Come back! Robbie!" Mary yelled after him, out the door. He didn't even turn around, he just got into his car and sped away.
Mary sat on the bottom step, of the stairs and started to cry.
"What's wrong?" asked Lucy as she walked down the stairs.
"Robbie's mom is in the hospital…And he just left and wouldn't tell me where he was going. He is mad at me, and I don't even know why. And then the whole thing with dad." Said Mary between sobs, "Everything is going wrong."
