Chapter 1: Christmas Eve ( A year Later )
" Oh there you are, darling. Good. Your not going to wear that tonight are you? I laid out an outfit upstairs just in case. You'll have to hurry up thought, the Darcy's are coming. " said Pam, hurrying off to her stew in the kitchen.
" Mum, I asked you not to mess with what was going on between Mark and myself. " snapped Bridget, halfway up the stairs when her mum continued the conversation.
" You'll never see a decent marriage proposal that way, Bridget. " said Pam, making her way to the kitchen, again.
" Mum! Just leave it along already. I'm not 16 anymore, Christ's sake, I'm 32 already. Bugger off. " said an agitated Bridget.
" Mark called a few minutes ago. Said he was bringing another couple with him Rebecca and Giles I thought he said . " Said Pam, walking away.
" Ughh! " said an angered Bridget, walking up stairs.
" Bridget, watch that tone off yours." said Pam.
" Bugger off Mum. I'm an adult, I'm 32. " said Bridget grabbing her coat, her cigarettes, and a quick shot of gin and heading outside.
Outside ( In front of the house )
" Bridget, my dear, not the weather to be sitting alone outside, I'm afraid. " said Adm. Darcy.
" Well. I'm sure out son is around somewhere, Collin. " smiled Eileen, acknowledging the relationship.
" Actually. I haven't seen him yet tonight. I just got here myself and felt I need to out here rather inside." said Bridget.
" If you need to talk, my dear, I'll be inside. Just come and find me. I do hope everything is alright. " said Eileen, walking inside with her husband.
" Bridget, old habits, die hard I see. " smiled wickedly and cheapishly Rebecca.
" Rebecca, shouldn't you be back under something were you belong. " shot back Bridget.
" I am where I am belong. " smiled Rebecca.
" Okay, Bitch. I'll say it once. Remove your claws from MY boyfriend and go back to yours before you regret or I do. " Yelled Bridget.
" Big words coming from such a small person. " laughed Rebecca., heading inside. Mark now taking notice of what was taking place, spoke up.
" Why do you let her get to you like that? I'm not going anywhere anytime soon? " smiled Mark.
" Because she's going after the great thing that's left in my life and I'm not about to let her take it from me. " said Bridget.
" You won't have to anymore." said Mark, getting down on one knee.
" What the hell are you doing? " asked Bridget.
" Bridget, will you please marry me? " asked Mark.
" Yes. " cried Bridget knocking Mark over in the snow.
" We should probably start in now. " said Mark.
" Do We really have to? " laughed Bridget.
" Yes or both of our mums are going to come looking for us. " smiled Mark, kissing his fiancee once more.
" You've given me the best christmas anyone could ask for. " smiled Bridget, fighting back the tears.
" Their out here. " yelled Malcom.
" Bugger. At least it was Dad and not mum. said Bridget.
