-CHAPTER 5-
Patrick and Sabrina are at the hospital telling Elizabeth about their engagement.
Elizabeth: I am so happy for the both of you! She says giving Patrick & Sabrina a big congratulatory hug.
Patrick: We have you to thank for us being together! He winks!
Elizabeth: Oh stop! I just pushed you both in the right direction! You knew what you both wanted but you just needed a little nudge! She winks back. Let me look at that rock again!She laughs taking Sabrina's hand and admiring the ring one more time.
Elizabeth: Emma must be over the moon! She smiles.
Patrick: To say the least, he laughs. She's been bragging to everyone that Sabrina is going to be her new mommy! He says with a smile.
Elizabeth: Well, I know for a fact that Robin would be pleased with Sabrina! She winks.
Sabrina: I hope I do her justice, she says shyly.
Patrick: You have been and I couldn't be any happier than I am right now! He says kissing her as if no one else was there.
Epiphany: Alright you two...ah hemmmm, she says trying to get Sabrina and Patrick's attention.
Elizabeth: No use Epiphany...they won't stop even for you! She laughs!
Epiphany: Now, I don't like all this lovey dovey stuff in my hospital, she says pulling them apart finally.
Sabrina: Hey! She laughs!
Patrick: Sorry Pip, but I just can't seem to control myself, he smiles.
Epiphany: Drake Jr, you are something else! She laughs. But shouldn't you two be working?
Patrick: I'm actually here to pick my fiance up! He smiles knowing she doesn't know about their engagement yet.
Epiphany: She pauses for a second. I'm sorry, what did you say?
Patrick: I thought I said I was here to pick up my fiance, he shrugs his shoulders playing around with Epiphany.
Epiphany: Nurse Santiago can you clear that up for me?
Sabrina: Sure, she says holding out her hand while Patrick's standing behind her holding onto her waist.
Epiphany: OH MY GOD! I don't believe it! She says jumping up and down with happiness and excited for them...Patrick & Sabrina and Elizabeth are surprised by her reaction but happy about it!
Patrick: Wow! I didn't know our engagement would make Epiphany so happy! He laughed.
Epiphany: Oh stop! She says lightly slapping him on his shoulder. You know I've been your biggest fan!
Patrick: You have, he says giving her a hug! We wanted to tell you together and I'm glad you and Elizabeth are one of the first group of people to find out. We couldn't have gotten where we are now without amazing friends like you.
Epiphany: Well, it sure took you two long enough to realize what was going on. The rest of us sure knew it. She laughs as do they.
Sabrina: Okay, my love...we have a meeting with our wedding coordinator! A/k/a Felix Dubois! She laughs!
Patrick: Yes, we don't want to upset Felix! He jokes.
Sabrina: Elizabeth, can you actually meet us at our place a little later?
Elizabeth: Sure, my shift is almost over and I'll be there soon after that...would you like me to pick up Emma?
Patrick: That would be fantastic! You are the best! He says hugging Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: Ok, we'll see you later then!
While walking to the car Sabrina stops cold.
Patrick: Babe, what's wrong?
Sabrina: I feel like someone is following us...she says nervously looking around her.
Patrick: It's probably just your imagination! He says swooping her up in his arms.
Sabrina: Wooow! She says with a laugh as they kiss while making their way to the car.
Patrick: Better? He says putting her down and opening the car door.
Sabrina: Much, she smiles and they leave to head home to meet with Felix and Maxie who are helping with the wedding plans.
Maxie: There you two are! She says tapping her watch to let them know they were late.
Sabrina: I know, we're sorry, we were caught by Epiphany.
Felix: Caught? Huh? I bet....he laughs. Where's Emma?
Patrick: Elizabeth is dropping her off in a little while...we wanted to ask her something and she said she would pick her up on her way over...
Sabrina: So, what do we have so far? She asks sitting down looking at both laptops that were open and opened with wedding websites galore.
Maxie: Not much, since we STILL do not have a concrete date to work with! Do you two want to get married?
Sabrina: Of course we do Maxie...she laughs...We really haven't had the time to discuss a date, she smiles looking at Patrick who is loving every minute of this.
Maxie: Well, start talking...she takes both Patrick and Sabrina and brings them into their bedroom to go over dates. And don't come out until you have decided on a date Felix and I can work with she orders slamming the door.
Felix: Uhhhh, Maxie?
Maxie: What?
Felix: Was that such a good idea? Leaving the two of them ALONE in their BEDROOM TOGETHER?
Maxie: Dammit! She runs back to the door and knocks shouting...."I want to hear talking and NO MOANING!"
Patrick and Sabrina both laugh while Patrick kisses her neck.
Sabrina: We really should pick a date for our wedding, she smiles, snugging next to him on their bed.
Patrick: I agree...so, any ideas?
Sabrina: Well...it's now July...how long did you want to wait?
Patrick: Yesterday? He laughs.
Sabrina: She kisses him and laughs at the same time. Well, that already passed so we need another choice...how about Thanksgiving? She mentions not knowing that that was the month of Patrick and Robin's wedding...Patrick is quiet.
Sabrina: Hey, you okay? She asks after he stands up and goes to the window.
Patrick: Yea, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drift like that, but when you said November, it's just that....he pauses.
Sabrina: Just what? Sweetie? You can tell me anything.
Patrick: That was the time of year Robin and I were married.
Sabrina: Oh baby! She hugs him...I'm sorry, I had no idea when you're wedding was.
Patrick: It's okay...he says hugging her, you didn't know. They hold each other for a few seconds.
Sabrina: Do you have anything you were thinking of?
Patrick: How bout September?
Sabrina: This September?
Patrick: Yea, why not?
Sabrina: No, that's fine with me...she smiles kissing him....okay, so September it is...Maxie will be thrilled! She laughs.
Patrick: Wait!
Sabrina: Yea?
Patrick: September what? He laughs.
Sabrina: Oh, ha! Let's see...September, September, September...
Patrick: September 5?
Sabrina: I like it! She smiles! September 5, 2013! The official date of our WEDDING! She says jumping in to give Patrick a hug.
Sabrina and Patrick go back to the living room.
Maxie: Well? She asks anxiously. When is the wedding of the year taking place? She asks with excitement.
Patrick: September 5, 2013!
Plans ensue for Patrick and Sabrina's wedding and Elizabeth is asked to be Matron of Honor and Felix to be the Best man! Both are elated and excited for their best friends wedding!
The week before the wedding
Felix: Sabrina? Are you okay? He asks his friend who was throwing up in the locker room.
Sabrina: Uh, yea...I don't know where that came from she says rinsing her mouth out with water.
Felix: Was it something you ate?
Sabrina: I hope so because I can't be getting sick...our wedding is a week away! She says needing to throw up again...hold that thought, she says as Felix holds her hair back for her.
Felix: Oh boy, you don't look well at all my love...you're pale and sweaty...maybe you should go home and rest.
Sabrina: No, I'll be okay...I promise. I need to work so I can get my hours in before my honeymoon.
Felix: I'll take your hours, go home and get well! You can't be sick at your own wedding! Go, I'll let Patrick and Epiphany know you went home sick.
Sabrina: Okay, maybe a few hours rest is all I need...you are the best she says air hugging him not wanting him to get what she had.
On her way out of the elevator to her car, she realizes something...
Sabrina: No? She says to herself....I can't be? Can I? She says nervously opening her car door and deciding it might be a good idea to get a home pregnancy test just to be sure...she was a few days late after all and she didn't think anything of it until now. She thought it might just be stress of the wedding, but it might not be....wow...she says calming down a little more relieved at what it might be. Patrick and I might be pregnant? She says touching her stomach praying it was true. That would be a fantastic wedding present! She smiles to herself and heads to the drug store.
\
At home, Sabrina is by herself awaiting the results of the home pregnancy test she just took when there is a knock at the door.
Sabrina: Coming...she answers the door and a fed ex delivery guy hands her a package.
Delivery man: Patrick Drake's residence?
Sabrina: Yes, I'm his fiance...I can sign for him...thank you....she signs the package and looks to see who it was from, but there was no return address on it. That's weird, she says aloud. I wonder who would send an unmarked overnight mailing with no return label. Oh well, I will wait for Patrick to open it she says putting it on the coffee table, pacing back and forth and decides pacing is not good and sits down on the couch to wait for the timer to go off.
Patrick arrives home shortly after she falls asleep. He kisses her forehead.
Patrick: Hey you...how you feeling? He says seeing if she had a fever...she felt cool.
Sabrina: Huh? Oh, hi you, she says hugging him. I'm feeling better I think...It must have been something I ate. She forgets all about the pregnancy test in the bathroom.
Patrick: Wow, I'm glad it's nothing more serious...because I plan on walking down that aisle next week.
Sabrina: So do I! She smiles and kisses him.
