Chapter Twenty Six

The next few weeks Zander got a job working at a local health club as a trainer. Sabrina was making sure everything was okay. She and Zander were going to tell her family together about her pregnancy and their up coming marriage. Zander was sitting outside of Kelly's when Sabrina walked up to him smiling.

"Babe we, well I am going to have a healthy beautiful baby," she announced with happiness in her voice

"We should be married next Friday at sunset in St. Joseph's church," he said

"That is prefect. I love the sunset it's so beautiful," she said as Zander reached across the table to grab her hand.

"I'd marry you today at sunset if you wanted me to." Zander announced softly

"Well, we'd have to hurry because the sunsets in like forty-five minutes" she said as she laughed.

"It'll only take ten minutes to get to the church," he said now being serious.

"Then let's go," she said in a serious voice.

"Seriously?" he questioned as his heart went to his throat

"Yes I'm sure," she said.

"Let's go," he said as they left to go to the church.

"Wait we need two witness's"She said as they reached the church.

There was two people sitting in the church a man and a young woman.

"Excuse me I want to marry this beautiful woman right who is going to be the mother of my children will you two witness this wedding?" Zander as the couple.

"Well, we were told that we need two witness if you witness ours we'll witness yours," the man told him.

"We want to get married at sunset." Sabrina said

"You could make it a double wedding and still be a witness to the other's wedding," the preacher said as he came up to the four of them.

"That works for me." Zander said as everyone else nodded.

Sabrina looked at Zander and she saw her entire future there in his eyes. He was her home. Her family. Her life. As the preacher went through the words of the ceremony Sabrina thought of life with Zander as her husband. It would be great, but how would Emily feel knowing that her cousin was married to her ex-husband. As that thought entered her mind she was saying I do and kissing her husband. Her life was beginning anew. She smiled at her new husband.

"I can't believe we're married." Sabrina said as she stood just outside the church with Zander's arms wrapped around her in that comforting secure way he always does. The rays of the sun had disappeared into a dimming sky. It was beautiful.

"I can't believe we're having a child," he said his lips next to her ear.

"I'm scared," she confessed honestly

"So, am I." he said" But we'll get through it together," he vowed as he gently kissed her lips.

"You know now we'll have to find us a place of our own. No baby of ours will grow up above a bar or diner," she said softly

"I'm way ahead of you. I put a down payment on a house with an attic built out of bricks. A big backyard and a security system. There's a school not far from the house and the hospital is about a mile or two down the street." he announced

"Zander how did you afford that?" she asked softly

"I've been saving up for a while granted most of it was the money I made while I worked for Faith." he said

"I'm so glad you don't work for that crazy bimbo." she annouced her voice laced with jealousy

"Nice to know you worry about someone else taking me away from you, but you don't have to because I'm staying," he said as he kissed her.

"We need furniture and all kinds of stuff to fill the house up with." Sabrina said her mind working on how to redecorate their new house.

"Don't worry, tomorrow we'll get started on that. For tonight we have a fire place with an air mattress in front of it. Everything works we just need to put stuff in it." he said

"So, let's get home and break it in right." she smiled
