"Do you Samuel Noel Strachan take the Constance Beauchamp to be your lawful wedded wife?" The registrar asked.
"I do" Sam replied with a smile as he held Connie's hands in his.
The registrar smiled, "do you Constance Beauchamp take the Samuel Noel Strachan to be your lawful wedded husband?" she asked.
Connie looked over at everyone watching, mainly at Jacob who was watching her intently.
She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't.
"Connie, come on" Sam said, still smiling at this point.
"Right, sorry" Connie said, "I, no I don't, I'm sorry" she said before letting go of Sam's hand and running down the isle as fast as she could.
"Connie what the hell are you doing?" Sam shouted after her.
"Mummy come back!" Grace said but Connie didn't listen.
Both Jacob and Jac jumped out of their seats and ran after her leaving everyone else confused.
"Connie?" Jac said as she knocked on the door of the bridal suit.
Connie opened the door dabbing at her eye makeup with a tissue and came face to face with Jac and Jacob.
Within seconds she had her arms round a very unsuspecting Jacob crying into his shoulder.
"What happened in there Connie?" Jac asked her.
"I can't marry him Jac, I don't love him. I feel terrible, he's always given me everything, given Grace everything but I don't love him" Connie cried as Jacob rubbed her back.
"Connie it's just nerves, you do love Sam, I know you do" Jac told her but Connie shook her head.
"I've done something stupid" she told her.
"Mummy? Why aren't you marrying daddy?" Grace asked as she appeared behind them.
"I think your mummy's just a bit emotional at the moment so she's going to have a chat with Auntie Jac, why don't me and you go and get a drink then I'll take you back to your daddy?" Jacob suggested.
"Ok" Grace said with a smile.
"Thank you Jacob" Connie said sincerely.
"No problem queen bee, I'll be back soon" he said before taking Grace's little hand in his.
Jac and Connie went inside then sat down on the couch.
"When you say stupid, how stupid?" Jac asked her.
"Remember your birthday, we all went out for drinks?" Connie said.
"Yeah, you left with Zoe" Jac said but Connie shook her head again, "I told you I left with Zoe, and I told Zoe to make sure everyone thought I'd left with her, she didn't ask for a reason, she just agreed" she said.
"Oh Connie this doesn't sound good, who did you really leave with?" Jac asked.
"I left on my own, but I didn't go home, I had sex with someone" Connie told her.
"Oh god, right Connie I can see why this may make you think that you don't love Sam, but you were drunk. People do stupid things when they are drunk" Jac said.
"And what about the morning after? I wasn't drunk then and I still fucked him, twice!" Connie said, "and that's not the worst of it, I'm three months pregnant" she cried.
Jac's eyes went wide, "ok let's be calm about this, does the father know?" She asked and Connie shook her head.
"And I'm guessing Sam doesn't know, can you pass the baby off as his? Is the timing right?" she asked.
"No" Connie told her.
"Lie about how many weeks you are? Jac suggested.
"Oh that's all well and good until I give birth" Connie snapped.
"What do you mean?" Jac asked her.
"I'm pregnant with Jacob's baby" Connie said just as the door opened to reveal Sam, Grace and Jacob.
"Shit" Jac muttered.
"Connie?" Jacob asked as he came closer.
"What the fuck?" Sam shouted.
"Oh my god" Connie said before running off into the bathroom crying.
"Connie open the door, please" Jacob begged.
"What the fuck have you done? You slept with my fiancée!" Sam shouted at Jacob but he ignored him.
"Grace come with me, let go and see Auntie Zoe" Jac said as she took the little girl's hand and led her away.
"Connie please let me in" Jacob said.
"Connie I'm not joking get out here now and tell me what the fucks going on, how did you end up sleeping with him? Why? When?" Sam asked.
Connie opened the door slightly, mascara streaming down her face, "Because I love him!" she cried before opening the door completely and falling into Jacob's arms.
"No, Connie you can't love him! You love me, come on baby you know you do" Sam said.
"No Sam, I'm sorry but I love Jacob, that's why I did it" she said.
"No, you whore! I can't even look at you!" Sam shouted before running out leaving Connie crying in Jacob's arms.
"Connie?" he said softly.
"I'm so sorry, you can go Jacob" she sniffed.
"I don't want to go sweetcheeks" he said softly.
Connie looked up at him, she had expected him to run a mile after what she had just said, she hadn't expected him to stick around and still be calling her sweetcheeks.
"Why?" Connie asked him.
Jacob smiled and placed his hand on her cheek, gently brushing away some of her tears, "because I love you too" he said before placing a kiss to her forehead and putting his hand on her stomach where he could swear he could feel a small bump.
Connie smiled, "you have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that" she said.
"Oh trust me, I do" Jacob said before gently kissing her lips this time.
