Bebe could not believe what she had just heard their would be no way in a million years that she would marry any man she did not love let alone carman and sometimes she even wonders if her mom loved her dad or was she forced to marry too

Soon Bebe met with Wendy and Truffles again and they headed to the privacy of Bebe's bedroom so no one would hear and it was their Bebe told her friend her story

" OMG the nerve of that man how dare he can you imagine marry Cartman Marry of all things good heavens I don't even like the boy let alone be his wife oh Wendy it is so unfair and father is being so selfish all he is interested in is how much wealth a person has not if I love them I told him clearly if I marry it's for love I don't care if their rich or poor we will get by somehow and he tells me to stop being a little child and my head is filled with modern day nonsense ' Bebe yelled storming up and down her room in a bad mood now as Wendy sat on the bed watching her stroking Truffles

' Oh Bebe I am so sorry your father seems so stuck in the last century and also calm down your going to wear a hole in that carpet at this rate walking back and foward ' Said Wendy

' Im sorry it can't be helped I'm just so angry at him ruling my life oh how could he do this to me I'm not a child any more I want to pick my own husband and it certainly won't be Cartman never in a million years I will marry him I just know the right man for me is out their somewhere waiting on me and he will be charming polite and make me happy ' Bebe said as Wendy sighed

'So are you still going to your party then tonight I take it ' Said Wendy as Bebe turned round sighing

'What choice do I have I do not want to go as I'm not in the mood now my damn father with his dictating ways has just ruined my day and on my birthday too I was looking forward to it as well but not now I am dreading he has more bad ideas up his sleeve I feel he's crushed my spirits and my dreams sometimes like just now I feel like running away but I know I can't im like a prisoner here I am spoilt with things clothes jewels Delicate China figurines best education and books yet I do not have my freedom I am still being treated as a little child as a child I never bothered being trapped in here I had everything I wanted clothes toys pets and love I felt but not now I just want to be more independent and also I will get it somehow and I would rather die first than marry Cartman he's a discussing fat pig and I will get out of that marrage to him somehow ' Bebe said firmly as Wendy Sighrd too not knowing what to say really

"I understand that but your not going to run away are you ..? Asked Wendy

'Oh what's the point where would I go and the place is surrounded by fathers workers and besides were in the middle of nowhere and I do not know the way into town so I am stuck here I suppose ' Bebe said

' Can't you tell your father that you want to marry someone else even Kyle I seen you two get along fine and he's a lovely boy good looking. and he's very rich too his father has a large mansion in the country and a huge town house and they even got a motorcar ' Wendy said

' Kyle is very sweet and we are friends but that is all and also father wouldn't allow it sure Kyle is Jewish and father wants me to marry a Christian boy and I think Kyle is with Hannah that girl from his synagogue 'Said Bebe as Wendy sighed lost for words again as she new Bebe was stubborn and would try and get her own way

' Happy Birthday Bebe you look so beautiful and so grown up ' Said Stan later that evening at Bebe's party as Bebe received her guests

' Thank you so much Stan and thank you for the gift thank you for coming ' Said Bebe giving Stan a small kiss on the cheek and smiling at him before greeting her next guests

A lot of people had turned up for the party as it was quite an affair and Wendy stood next to Bebe looking at all the men in their dinner suits and women in their fine ball gowns it looked like something from a fairytale and also some of the male staff wore 18 century uniforms and white powdered wigs to add grandness to the party and a ocistra played waltzes in the background

' Oh Bebe my dear can you come here a moment I need to see you privately ' Her father called as Bebe stood welcoming her guests as they handed her gifts

'Yes papa what is it ..? Sighed Bebe expecting a very long lecture about having to marry Cartman and this time she would dig her heels in against it but what her father was about to say would surprise her

' Now Bebe my dear I have to say you are looking beautiful tonight and so grown up and also as your are now 18 and wearing blue tonight I thought I would give you this very old family antique to wear tonight it will match your dress ? Now it was given to your Aunt my sister when she was 18 by your grandma and then when you were born it came to us as my sister had only 3 sons but the necklace has a lot of history and is valuable and it was made for your great great grandma for her 18th almost 200 hundred ago ' Bebe's father said producing a small box and on opening the box Bebe gasped a little to find a large blue very rare diamond cut into the shape of a heart and surrounded by small normal diamonds

" Oh wow oh good heavens I have seen that necklace before in paintings and one Christmas you wore it mama " Bebe said stunned

' Yes indeed I did I have worn it on a few occasions and now it is yours a family tradition the first born daughter gets the necklace to keep and one day if you have a daughter she will get it when she is 18 and then her daughter and so on 'Mrs Stevens said stunning Bebe

Bebe was stunned and Sureb she thought the necklace was indeed beautiful and was very rare made in the late 18th century so it was a one off and already worth a lot of money but truth was Bebe didn't like it as it was so big and heavy she liked small light necklaces and ones that would not draw attention and that necklace did just that

'Here let me put it on for you my dear and you will make your mother so proud seeing you all grown up like this and if you and Eric have a daughter one day she will be wearing it ' Tom said fastningnthe clapp of the necklace and smiling

'Er yeah sure I'm sure my future daughter will love it ' Bebe said not in the mood to argue with her father and also she wanted to take the necklace off as it was heavy on her

'Oh my goodness I just want to cry seeing you here all grown up into a beautiful young woman it just seems like yesterday you were paying with your dolls and nanny in the garden where have those years gone and seeing you with the necklace oh my ' Bebe's mom said starting to cry a little

' Oh momma please do not cry and thank you for the necklace it's beautiful 'Bebe said kissing her moms cheek before gently touching the necklace as it sparkled in the evening light and it looked breathtaking

Soon the party was in full swing and despite everything Bebe begin to enjoy herself a little and danced with all the male guests their and even danced with her father a couple of times he also gave her the first dance of the evening to gasps and clapping and when the first dance finished Tom bowed low and Bebe curtsayed before Cartman came over to dance and he was the worst dancer their it seemed as he stood on her toes a few times and his hands felt sweaty and sticky and his breath stank but Bebe tried to be polite to him and he was sickly sweet to her saying once their married they'd throw balls every weekend and fill the house with their friends at least he'd let her see her friends

Bebe enjoyed dancing with Stan and Kyle as they were gentle and light on their feet but most of the night Stan was with Wendy and it was rumoured they'd be announcing their endgame to soon but Bebe and Stan were good friends too

As the night wore on and Bebe was dancing with another guest her father stopped the music as he had an vey important announcement to make and wanted complete silence and it was the moment Bebe was dreading as her father called her and Cartman up to stand next to him

Ladies and gentleman may I have your attention for a few moments ' Tom said placing his hands on the shoulder of Cartman who smiled smugly and held Bebe's hand who looked shocked and terrified as the crowd fell silent

' Now first I want to thank you all for coming to my only beautiful daughters 18th birthday it has been 18 glorious wonderful years too it seems like yesterday that nurse was telling me the news I had a daughter alright I do admit a mans first choice is to have a son and I did want a son but I wouldn't change Bebe for anything she is my ray of sunshine and my princess and I believe she has a speech for later she will give you but the important thing is my dear daughter is about to make her own history as she embarks on her own life " Tom said smiling looking at Bebe and listening to clapping

' Now a few weeks ago young Eric here approached me wanting to take my daughters hand in marriage and as Eric is of very good breeding I agreed as he will make my daughter a very fine husband and keep her in the lifestyle she is used too and so I am very proud to announce the engagement of my daughter Bebe to young Master Eric here who is also a distant relative of ours and a very good friend and him and Bebe have been friends since they were very young and so he is the perfect match for my daughter ' Tom said proudly as Bebe rolled her eyes then glanced at floor sighing and tried to force a fake smile

" Now Eric my dear boy it's a pleasure to welcome you into the family as my son in law and I know that you will take care of my precious daughter treat her like a princess she is a vey delicate flower ' To, said stunning Bebe more as she felt she was far from being a delicate flower

' Do not worry sir I will and I will be like the son you never had and a very good loving husband and your daughter will want for nothing and any future children we have we will be the perfect family ' Cartman said smiling

" That's perfect I'm so happy now everyone we have another big Announcement to make that will involve many of us and everyone's future ' Tom said surprising Bebe and she feared it may be worse than being forced to marry Cartman as that was a nightmare and nothing could be worse than that but she was wrong

' Now many of you good people know I have been doing a lot of business overseas where the new money is but being here in England is making things hard so I have spoken to my dear wife and a few close friends at my work. and we have decided to emigrate to America with my family it is a young exciting country and I managed to get a very large former plantation house that is a lot bigger than this place an much more grounds and these plantation houses go for next to nothing now since slavery was abolished yet they are a few black workers still their I think we have a few but they will be paid well and treated the same as we treat our staff here and will sleep in the house but we will leave for America in April the journey will take a week to get their but the ship is like a floating hotel and has the highest standards so we will be very comfortable on board and when we dock and arrive at our new home we will settle down and carry on as normal it will be a new adventure ' Tom said horrifying Bebe as she just could not believe what she was hearing first marring Cartman and now moving to America what next

well that's that chappy done more to come
