Chapter 13
Alison woke up to the sunlight playing on her face. Stretching as her eyes came open she looked at the clock beside the bed. It was 9 am, in eight more hours she would be married to Rafe. This thought should have brough her great happiness but it did not. Looking towards the couch she found it empty. 'He must be off preparing.' She thought to herself as she threw the covers off her. Walking to the bathroom she comtemplated her reflection in the mirror. "This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, why do I feel so." She couldn't finish her sentence because she couldn't find the words that could accurately express how she was feeling. She went through the ritual of brushing her hair and teeth. The happy twinkle was gone from her eyes and the smile from her lips. She knew she had to make a decision and make it quick.
Back in his room Caleb stood in the large shower, the three showerheads cascading water down his lith form. With his eyes closed he leaned his head against the wall of the shower and picture Alison has she prepared for her wedding. She would make such a beautiful bride, his bride if he had anything to do with it. Finishing up his shower he turned the water off and allowed the water droplets to trickle down his body. He didn't know how much he missed having a shower until he was condemed to hell. Stepping out of the shower he grabbed a plush dark red towel from a near by hook and wrapped it around his body. He almost laughed as he thought about Rafe, the unsuspecting bridegroom was probably making his romantic preperations for the big event. A part of Caleb felt sorry for the Slayer, after all Rafe thought that Alison was totally devoted to him but he had no idea.
As Alison was finishings the little bit of makeup she had decided to put on she felt and uneasiness in her stomach. The day before she had thought it had been her nerves and yet she wasn't nervous. Running to the toilet she dropped to her knees as a wave of nausea came over her. She heard the bedroom door open as Rafe entered the room and called out her name. On her knees she shuffled to the door and closing it locked him out. "I'm in the bathroom, I'm not feeling so well this morning." She called out as the wave hit her once more. Standing outside the bathroom door Rafe raised a brow as he heard her begin to get sick. Shaking his head he went over to the bed and sat down. The day was not going according to plan. He had wanted to wake up beside Alison and make love to her while the sunlight played on her face. When he had woke up she had been curled into a protective ball and he couldn't bring himself to wake her.
He had tried to get in touch with all of their friends to invite them to the wedding as a surprise for Alison but he could not reach any of them over the phone, not even Lucy and Ian. He was starting to get worried that something was going on in Port Charles while they were away. He heard the toilet flush and shortly after the sound of running water came. Standing up he walked over to the door and knocked softly. "Are you ok angel?" He asked, his eyes full of concern. Her muffled yets came as a reply through the door. He stepped back as the bathroom door opened to reveal Alison, a cold compress held to her forehead with a danty hand. "Do you want to put the wedding on hold, we can do it tomorrow if your not feeling well."
Alison looked up at his startled. It would be the perfect way out of getting married today and she knew it but the look on his face told her that it wouldn't be the best idea. He looked so worried and afraid. She knew that he didn't want to put off their marriage any longer. Shaking her head she walked over to a nearby chair and sat down. "Let's see how I feel in a couple of hours before we make any decisions." She told him as she looked on the window. There was a knock on the door and Rafe walked acrossed the room to answer it. It was room service bringing their breakfast. The smell of the eggs and bacon almost drove her to her feet and to the bathroom once more but she held firm in the chair. 'What is wrong with me?' She thought to herself and she closed her eyes, the cool fabric of the compress bringing a small amount of relief to her heated skin.
The waiter left the food for them in the middle of the room and left after Rafe gave him a tip. Lifting the covers from the silver platers Rafe inhaled the aroma. "Would you like something to eat?" He asked looking up from the food to her face. "Maybe some toast and tea. I don't know if my stomach can handle any more." Placing a piece of toast on a place and pouring her a cup of tea he brought her miniscule breakfast to her and placed in on the table at her side. "Maybe that'll help to settle your stomach. Pre-wedding jitters?" He asked with a boyish smile and Alison felt the beginnings of a smile tug at her lips. "Something like that." She responded in a soft voice as shetook the piece of toast from the plate. They sat in silence while Rafe had his breakfast and she her toast and tea. Suprisingly the toast and tea did serve to calm her stomach but she still had the dilema of her pending wedding looming in front of her still.
