Chapter 9

Mimi sat in one of the many dressing rooms at Kleinfield looking at her reflection in the 360 degree mirror. She should be like any other bride here, over-the-moon happy, but this was Mimi Force and she wasn't your typical bride. Mimi saw her true reflection in the mirror, Azreal, for she knew that she was truly losing her groom. Mimi could feel it in every inch of her being; she felt Jack's presence slowly slipping away.

Trinity walked into Mimi's dressing room and noticed Mimi standing in front of the mirrors about to have a nervous breakdown.

"Excuse us, ladies" Trinity said to the sales ladies. After, the ladies left Trinity walked up to Mimi and whispered, "Force women do not cry, Madelyn."

Mimi snapped out of her train of thought and composed herself.

"Now, Madelyn you look wonderful in that dress, but it is not Mimi material. Why did you pick it?"

Mimi didn't want to tell her mother the truth behind the reason of her choice and so she made something up.

"I chose the dress because I wanted a princess dress." Mimi wasn't about to share the memory behind the reason either.

The dress Mimi picked wasn't like any formal gown she had worn before. This gown was of the purest white silk that was made into a princess ball gown with a 15 foot train that was covered in diamonds and pearls. The dress was extravagant but simple, like Mimi and Jack; Mimi also decided that she would have another dress made for the reception after the ceremony. Mimi remembered all of her previous lives and how she always wanted the extravagant things in life and Jack always wanted the simplicity lifestyle. Mimi realized Jack, Abaddon, was the happiest in their Pilgrim lifetime because of how simple things were back then. To Mimi that was a cycle she would like to forget, having to work for your own food, no one to wait on you and the hideous clothes. Mimi knew Jack would love this dress because it was the one he envisioned Schuyler wearing to their bonding.

"Mimi you can't stay in that dress forever. The ladies need to do the final alterations and you need to do the final walk through with the event planner before Friday." Trinity stood in the doorway of the dressing room staring at Mimi, wondering what the future held for her and Jack. Trinity couldn't deny the chemistry between Jack and Mimi; they seemed to fight more with each passing day and less of getting along. There was no doubt of resistance on Jack's part. Trinity felt like Jack, but for different reasons. Trinity just felt like they were still too young and the fact that Jack still didn't have his full memories bothered Trinity. Trinity knew in order for the Blue Bloods to overcome Lucifer and the Silver Bloods that Jack and Mimi needed to be bonded, but Trinity had a strange feeling about their bonding.

Trinity and Mimi were in their town car riding back to their house and Mimi was going on about her to do list before the ceremony and how there wasn't enough time to get everything done.

"Mimi, honey, are you still going to stay at Duchesne after the ceremony?"

"I do not know, I guess that will be something Jack and I discuss, but probably not. I will want to move onto College life with Jack. Maybe, we could go back to Oxford, I always loved England in the fall. Plus, London does have some good shopping this century."

There was so much Trinity wanted to tell Mimi about marriage, respect for one another and selflessness, but Mimi already knew it all.

"What is the point, Mimi won't listen. She will do what she wants and not let anybody stand in her way," Trinity thought. The town car pulled up to the Force's townhouse. Trinity got out, but Mimi stayed in the car.

"I am going to Pilates and then to Barney's." Mimi said without looking at her mother. Mimi was actually going to go see what Jack was up to and who he was with for that matter.

"Ok, Madelyn be home for dinner tonight," Trinity called over her shoulder as she walked up the stairs.

Trinity entered her empty house and she had an eerie feeling. "Something is not right." Trinity thought as she slipped into a nice hot bath to wash away this crazy day.

Mimi was in a mission to find Jack and the first place she was going was to Schuyler's place. She was going to confront Jack in front of Schuyler and her friends. Mimi knew Schuyler wanted Jack, but she also didn't want him to end up like her mother. So, Schuyler was willing to endure a broken heart instead of risking Jack's life and the Blue Blood community. Mimi smiled to herself because she knew there was nothing Jack could do to escape his bonding with Mimi that didn't result in failure for him or Schuyler. Mimi realized she had nothing to worry about so she told the driver to head for Barney's.

Trinity was getting dressed for dinner that night; she kept looking at the clock on her make-up counter. She couldn't wait for seven o'clock that was when Schuyler was to arrive. For some unknown reason, Trinity just wanted Schuyler under her roof and not to leave her sight. Trinity for once felt motherly over Schuyler and she wasn't even her kid, but she was her niece. Trinity didn't express this with Charles because let's face it this marriage was just for show. Just like Mimi and Jack's marriage would be. Trinity remembered being in love and blissfully happy with the person/angel she was made for. Mimi and Jack used to be that way, but over the last 2,000 years Trinity has seen Abaddon slip away from Azreal; whether it was with his familiars, mistress and never being with Azreal except for public appearances.

Trinity began to think, "What if God did make another soul mate for Jack and what if his love Azreal is over?" Trinity was pondering this as she walked out of her bedroom and to her office. Trinity had to make a phone call to the pilot, of their plane, to confirm the departure time for Jack and Mimi's honeymoon flight.

Trinity heard the front door open and close; she listens closely to hear who it was. The footsteps were slow and soft, Trinity knew it wasn't Mimi or Charles and it was too early for Schuyler, it had to e Jack.

"Jack, honey could you please come here," Trinity asked in a loving tone. Jack knew something was up when Trinity used that tone. Jack walked into Trinity's office and sat down in one of Trinity's antique chairs. Trinity looked Jack over and noticed how tired and worn out he looked. He had dark circles under his eyes like he hadn't slept in days.

"Jack, you look like you need some sleep and maybe a massage."

"I just need some sleep that is all."

"Jack, honey, about this bonding ceremony. Would you like to explain why you don't want it to happen on Friday? You know the Blue Bloods are counting on you and Mimi," Trinity asked out of concern for her son. Jack had also been traumatic when he was younger, but when Schuyler entered his life it was like he had a purpose.

"I just feel that I am not ready. I am not even 21 and I haven't received all my memories or my skills. How am I to be bonded when I am not to my fullest let alone save the Blue Bloods?" Jack told Trinity the partial truth. He didn't want to say anything about Schuyler and not loving Mimi anymore.
