Time waits for no one

"Congratulations to Mr and Mrs. Page!"

March 18th, 1979

It's been around 3 weeks since I found out I was pregnant. Jimmy was ecstatic when I told him. We both agreed that we want to start our family as soon as possible, since we know our chances aren't very big.

We both agreed that we don't really want to have a big wedding. We plan on going to a courthouse, and then throwing a reception with close friends and family.

As I got up from bed, I was comforted by that familiar feeling of the baby growing inside of me. It was something I could physically and emotionally feel, and I enjoyed it a lot. Even the sickness.

"Babe, when are we gonna tell the others?" He asked me, and I just shrugged.

"Whenever we know this is gonna be a healthy pregnancy." I said back. I then turned and wrapped an arm around his frame... we were both still laying down.

So far, Freddie is the only person to know about my pregnancy. I told him to keep it on the low until we were ready to announce it.

We were early in the pregnancy, so there's still a big chance we could lose the baby.

"Is your schedule clear today?" He asked me. I looked over at him with a suspicious look on my face. "Whyyy?" I asked him.

A grin then spread across his face.

"Let's go get married. Right now." He told me, sitting up, eager.

"Like actually?" I asked, giggling.

"Yes, aCtUaLLy." He said, mocking me. I started to laugh.

"Now get up and get dressed!" He shouted, as I rolled over.

He then started slapping my ass, which caused me to shout, and laugh.

We were currently at a courthouse, sitting in the waiting room.

I was wearing a pretty white dress, with matching white flats, and Jimmy had on black dress pants, with a button down black dress shirt.

"JIMMY AND BROOKLYNN!" The lady at the counter shouted. My ears perked up, and got up, walking there hand and hand with Jimmy.

"I need you both to sign here..." she started, as Jimmy signed a spot. "... and here." She continued. Jimmy handed me the pen and I signed the designated spot.

"I now pronounce you two husband and wife!" She shouted, and clapped.

Jimmy and I then kissed, and he picked me up. The lady then took a picture.

"Give it a minute." She chuckled, as the photo developed.

"This is perfect!" I said, as she showed us. "I agree" she started. "That'll be £5.00 please." She said, in a monotone voice, and I just laughed as Jimmy payed her.

"Congratulations to Mr and Mrs. Page!"
