Life Changing

Chapter 8

A week had passed. Penelope was all better. They were at the arena. Emily was putting make-up on Sam's eye because he'd gotten a black eye during a house show a few days ago.

"Ow!" He said.

"Sorry." Emily said.

"Have any plans for our few days off?"

"Yeah." "I'm getting married."

"What happened to all the wedding planning?"

"We decided to elope." "We both live in Vegas, the fast marriage capital of the world." "We're both going to be home at the same time so we thought, why not?"

"Ok." "You're done." Sam looked in a mirror.

"You did good." "Well since you're getting married." He got into his wallet and took out a hundred dollars. "Consider it a wedding present."

"I can't take this."

"I insist."

"Ok." "Thank you." She took it. "Have I ever showed you a picture of Travis?"

"No." She took out her phone.

"This is him." He was tall, tan and muscular. He had short light brown hair, a goatee and light green eyes. "I bet for a comic you were expecting a scrawny guy huh?"

"Kind of."

"I hear that a lot."

"Hi Sam." Penelope said as she and Austin came up behind him. Austin took Penelope to catering to get a snack.

Hi." He said smiling. "Did you enjoy your snack?"

"Yeah."

"Good." "Thanks for taking her."

"No problem." Austin said. He walked away.

On the way back to the hotel Penelope fell asleep in the car. She woke a little when Sam got her out of the car. When they got to the room he put her in bed and took off her shoes.

"Goodnight Sam." She said tiredly with her eyes still closed.

"Goodnight Penelope."

"I love you."

He smiled. That was the first time Penelope had said that to him. "I love you too."

The next day Emily went home. She walked through the front door and put her bag down.

"I'm home." She said.

"I'm in here." Travis called from his office down the hall. She went into his office. He was on his computer.

"Hi honey." She said going over to him. "What are you doing?" They kissed.

"Looking for places for us to get married." "As I'm sure you know there's like a million places so, I figured we'd pick together."

Within the hour they'd picked a chapel and went and got a marriage license. They put on their nicest clothes and went to the chapel. They were standing in front of the minister.

"Do you take this man to be your husband?" The minister asked.

"I do." She said.

"Do you take this woman to be your wife?"

"I do." He said.

"By the power invested in me by the state of Nevada, I now pronounce you man and wife." "You may kiss the bride." They kissed. "It's my honor to present for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Travis Hunter."

They went home. He carried her into the bedroom. They were making out on the bed.

"I know we've been thinking about it." He said in-between kisses. "I wanna have a baby." She broke the kiss.

"Really?"

"Yeah." "I know it'll be hard to try since we're both gone a lot but I want to."

"Me to." They kissed.
