Chapter 34

"Ms. Bea, Sarah has a hard time winding down and relaxing, I was planning a special quiet evening tomorrow, and was wondering if you have something we could use in our hotel room to help us relax?" ask AJ, eyeing the evil, Dora.

"Of course! I know just what you need, let me find it. Ah, here it is, this is a combination of Cedarwood, Lime, and Frankincense, it should do the trick nicely!"

"Thank you," AJ said to the little old lady and then to Sarah when he saw the cat approaching her, "Watch out for that cat! It's evil."

"Getting just a bit paranoid over a little pussy cat, are you, AJ?" grinned Sarah.

"No, you wouldn't believe what that cat ha..."

"Here we go, just what you need. Will that be all?" asked Ms. Bea.

"Yes, I can't think of anything else-unless you'd like to sell your cat?" grinned Sarah.

"Oh, no, I couldn't do that, sweetie. Who would I talk to then? Here's your total. Would that be cash or credit?" asked Ms. Bea.

"Cash," replied AJ, paying for their purchase. He couldn't believe how inexpensive it all was!

As AJ put away his change, Ms. Bea admired Sarah's wedding ring. Picking up Sarah's hand, she asked, "May I, sweetie?"

"Of course," smiled Sarah, glancing at AJ.

Rubbing her thumb over the emerald in Mac's ring, her eyes stared straight ahead, "This ring was chosen with love, but it does not bind you, only your hearts do at this time, but someday it will. A child…you will have a daughter…soon. This will not be a child of your bodies, but it will be a child of your hearts. This ring will be given to her one day, along with the story of how she, and your love, made this ring a truth. I see a wedding…a beautiful wedding….a military wedding, with men in uniforms. The bride walks down the aisle carrying this baby girl, I spoke of, instead of a bouquet."

She paused just a moment to draw a breath, and continued, "I see two unhappy men. One, in a uniform with golden wings, he will get over his unhappiness quickly. The other man, a secret man, he will hold his unhappy heart until he goes to his grave. I see three more children, to follow this child of love and sorrow. Twins, yes, because one of you, is a twin. So you shall have a set of twins next, and then three years later another baby. I see much love and happiness in your home. You will remember this time in your life, with much joy, but a touch of sorrow."

Then, her brow, wrinkled with worry, she said, "Sarah, you must be careful. I see danger. Something will happen to you soon. Protect her, AJ, watch over her, and keep her safe. The love you have for each other should see you through, since it is strong. It has had time to grow and fill your hearts for many years now."

Blinking and shaking herself, Ms. Bea looked at AJ and Sarah and smiled. "Oh dear, did I go off again? Sometimes I see small things, and then other times, whole scenes flash before me and I rush to get them out before they leave. Sometimes it doesn't make sense. Sometimes my gift scares people, I hope I didn't upset you nice people."

"No, Ma'am, but thanks for everything. We really need to go," replied AJ.

Once outside the door, Sarah turned to AJ, "How could she have seen all that? And do you think that the rest of it is true?"

"It can't be, Sarah, you know that!" AJ exclaimed.

She sighed sadly, "Yes, you're right, she must be mistaken." Oh, how she wished that what the little old lady had said could be true! If only AJ really loved her! She would do anything to have him love her!

"Yes," AJ agreed. He wished in his heart that it could be true, that Sarah really loved him, he would give up so much for her, if that were only true.
