Trudy: Life and Love after Loss
Chapter Two
"You want Trudy to give us her blessing before you say yes?" Jay asked
"yes." Said Amber "She is my best friend and we have known each other
longer than I've loved you and I owe her this much, we owe her."
Jay looked angry but then his face loosened and he nodded. "You're right." He said "If you want Trudy's blessing, go ahead ask for it but don't expect
her to say yes."
Amber didn't reply, she just got off of the bed and out of the room. She found Trudy sitting on the deck with Brady in her lap. Amber sat down
next to her.
"Brady, will you go to Aunty Salene, I need to talk to your mother?" said Amber and Brady got off Trudy's lap and walked towards Salene. Trudy looked
up at Amber imploringly.
"Is something the matter Amber?" Trudy asked
"No, there's just something I have to tell you and ask you." Said Amber
"Oh?" said Trudy
"It's about Jay." Said Amber
"What's wrong, has something happened to Jay?" Trudy asked
"No Jay is perfectly fine, he's with my baby." Said Amber
"Oh, than what is it?" Trudy asked
"I know this is going to be hard for you to hear Trudy, but just a while ago Jay asked me to marry him." Said Amber slowly and she saw the look of
horror upon Trudy's face.
"And you've come here to tell me that you said yes?" Trudy asked in a shaky
voice
"No." said Amber slowly "I haven't said yes yet. Trudy I know that things
between us are not prefect right now but I want to ask you something, something that will effect my relationship with Jay and whether of not we
marry."
"And what's that?" asked Trudy
"I want your blessing." Said Amber and Trudy started at her.
"You what?" she breathed back
"I want you to give me your blessing." said Amber "I didn't tell Jay yes
because I wanted your blessing first."
"You want me to decide whether or not you marry Jay?" Trudy asked
incredulously
"I know it sounds crazy but Trudy I love you. You have been my friend for years and I know that I betrayed you. But I also love Jay and I want him to serve as my son's father and for us to be a family and that can't be done
unless we marry." Said Amber
Trudy was silent. She didn't know what to say or how to react to this news. She felt so hurt but she knew she'd hurt more if Jay, Amber and Baby Bray
could not be a proper family because of her.
"As much as this pains me to say, I know how happy you and Jay are and I know that Baby Bray would love to have him as a father." Trudy started "I can no longer stand in the way of your happiness Amber. You and Jay have my
blessing."
"Oh Trudy." Said Amber and she threw her arms around her and they both
sobbed.
"Trudy, I have one more thing to ask you." Said Amber
"if it's to be your maid of honor that's pushing it." Said Trudy and Amber
laughed
"No, I want you to be my baby's Godmother." Said Amber and Trudy cried even
more "You have been the best Aunty to him and when I wasn't there you
mothered him. I couldn't think of anybody who'd be more suited for the
role."
"Amber." Said Trudy, her eyes filled with tears. "I'd love to be Baby
Bray's Godmother."
Amber and Trudy continued to sob and hug and the others looked on but
stayed respectfully away from them.
