Chapter 3: Disbelief and Making it Official
Almost a year had passed, and Amber and Jay's relationship grew stronger everyday. All Amber wanted to do was to be with Jay. Then, one day, she got the surprise of her life.
Amber was walking out of the room with Bray in her arms. The child could say few words such as up, mama, and hungry. Jay was looking over the water when Amber came over to him. "Jay, someone wanted to see you," she informed. Jay turned around and took Bray into his arms. Bray looked up and placed his hands on Jay's face. He then let out a gurgle before he gave Jay and Amber the surprise of their lives.
"Dada," he giggled.
Amber smiled and nodded to Jay who was looking at her for permission. "That's right, Bray, dada," he murmured. He placed a kiss on the boy's forehead and looked over at Amber. Amber just smiled and then she held onto her son's tiny hand.
"Mama," Bray giggled.
"That's right, Bray, I'm your mama," Amber answered.
Jay sighed as he held Bray in his arms. A child he grew to love so much as his own son and he loved Bray's mother just as much. He did have plans of marrying Amber, all he had to do was ask.
That night, Amber was putting Bray to bed when Jay came in. "Amber, we need to talk," he informed. Amber's heart stopped.
"Is he going to break up with me?" She pondered.
Jay sat her down and he sighed as he looked at her. "Amber, we've through a lot during this past year," he started.
"Yeah, we have," she agreed.
"Today when Bray called me 'dada', that was the second greatest thing that ever happened to me," he stated.
"What was the first greatest thing that ever happened to you?"
"Meeting you."
Amber's heart stopped as Jay dropped down to one knee and held her hands. "Amber, will you marry me?" He asked. Amber smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I take it that's a yes?" He asked.
"Yes, of course I'll marry you, Jay," she answered.
Jay held her close and closed his eyes. At last, at long last Amber was his. Bray was going to be his son and he was going to raise him as such.
(Three Weeks Later)
Jay stood at the altar waiting for Amber. He was a bit nervous, but yet he knew that everything was going to be okay. He was finally going to marry the girl of his dreams. Once Amber came down the aisle, all worries disappeared. As Amber stood in front of him and grabbed his hands, the ceremony began.
Jay was wearing his Techno uniform.
Amber was wearing white shoes, a white dress, her hair was down from the buns it's usually up in, her hair was up in a single bun, and a simple tiara sat in her hair.
The dress had spaghetti straps, it zipped up in the back, it fit all her curves, and it was made up silk.
She looked over at Trudy to see her holding Bray and smiled at Jay. They exchanged their rings and shared a kiss.
Later that afternoon, everyone was congratulating the newlyweds and that was when Amber saw Trudy sitting by herself. She walked over to her friend. "Trudy, what's wrong?" She asked. Trudy looked at her with a sigh.
"I envy you, Amber," Trudy replied.
She sat across from her confused. "What do you mean?" She asked. Trudy looked over at Jay and looked back at Amber.
"First, you got Bray and then you had your baby with Bray. Then you got Jay. I've got my little girl, but that was with Martin who's against us. I feel like I'm cursed," Trudy replied.
"You're not cursed. Someone will be around for you," Amber assured her.
Trudy chuckled and shook her head. "Nah, I did get the best part of Martin though. She's right over there playing with Bray," she sighed. Amber looked over to see Brady playing with Bray. Jay walked over and placed his hands on Amber's shoulders.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Nothing, we're okay now," Amber replied.
She then stood up and looked over at Trudy. "Come on, Trudy, join the party," she insisted. Trudy smiled and stood up to join her friends.
That night, Jay and Amber were wrapped up in each other's arms with smiles on their faces. "I don't know about you, but I enjoyed that," he commented.
"What about all those other nights?" She asked.
"They were good," he replied.
Amber swatted his shoulder when she knew what he meant. "You're mean," she whined. She yelped when he pinned her under him.
"And you're beautiful," he told her.
"You think that by complimenting me will make it all better?"
He then covered her lips with his in a kiss to silence her. Then he pulled the blankets over them while kissing her.
