Chapter 26: Love I Thought I Knew

"Wait you will?" Sammy asked in shock.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I said happily.

Sammy stood up and I did the same. We hugged and then he got down on one knee and re-presented the ring. I was still in utter shock that this was all happening as he slipped the gorgeous ring onto my finger.  After kissing and hugging we sat back down and he asked "What made you change your mind?"

"Sammy I always knew I wanted too. I was just afraid to make the step forward. But I know that there is nobody that I love more than you and I want my future to be with nobody but you."

"I love you so much, Leah. And again im so sorry for what I did to you. I will NEVER do it again."

And I trusted him. I believed he wouldn't ever do it again. But my judgment failed me. My instinct was telling me false information.

We got married 8 months after this date. We planned for the most beautiful wedding ever. And the chapel was gorgeous on the day of. My dress was long and white just like most wedding dresses. But I have never felt so beautiful. As I walked down the isle Sammy began to cry and I was so happy to be doing this with him. We exchanged vows, said I do and kissed. With one quick kiss I was officially made,

Mrs. Wilkinson.

Our honeymoon was in Paris, the most romantic city. It was beautiful, we saw everything there was to see and I had the most fun I have ever had. And on our first night he asked me one very important question.

"Do you want to have a baby?"

"Yeah probably sometime in the future." I said.

"No I mean now." He said seriously.

"Serious?" I asked.

"More serious than I have ever been." he said.

"Okay! Lets have a baby." I said smiling.

"I was hoping you would say that." He said ripping off my shirt and throwing me onto the bed.

We were probably too young but at the time it felt just right. And I knew with Sammy we would be able to accomplish anything. 9 months later I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Sam, after his father. After the father he would never come to know.

When we arrived home from our honeymoon and told everybody I was pregnant, my family was excited and happy for us. But Sammy was almost scared to touch me.

"Whats wrong?" I asked one night.

"Im just scared. Im afraid im going to hurt you or the baby." He said.

"You aren't going to hurt either of us. I promise." I pulled him near and his hesitated before kissing me.

But little did I know he was deteriorating before my eyes. The Sammy I used to know disappeared into a paranoid man. He left every night and said he was going to the studio but every night when he came home he was drunker than ever. Every night it got worse.

"What is going on?" I asked the next morning after several nights this had been going on.

"I cant do this." He said shaking his head. "I cant be a father!"

"Well its too late now!" I said.

"I know and I need to come clean." He said shaking his head.

"Sammy we can do this together. We're a team! Remember?" I asked.

"I know but after I say this you're going to hate me." He said.

"Are you trying to push me out of your life?" I asked stunned.
