Purple Recovery

Chapter 39: It's A...

I went up to my room putting on a light pink dress. I loved how my belly was very noticeable with it on. It was a dress made for these curves of mine.

There was a small knock on the door. I yelled for them to come in, while I fixed my hair.

"Mrs. McDaniels?" A guard opened the door.

"Yes?"

"Mr. McDaniels is waiting for you outside, he sent this up for you." He gave me the red rose.

"Thank you, I'll be down in a bit."

"Do you need help?" He asked.

"Not today, I'm good thank you."

He nodded and walked out of my room closing the door.

James and I had gotten married just about a week and a half ago. It wasn't the big church wedding we wanted but we were married. James said we could do my dream wedding when I wasn't pregnant. He didn't want to stress me out.

But I know that I'll soon have my big wedding, just the way I want. I can't wait.

Sadly Mr. Royal didn't make it another day. That night we left his room, was his last. He didn't wake up the next morning.

Jenny was in charge of the funeral. She was mature about it. Never spoke to me or James. Although we all knew she was mad at us. She didn't want anything to do with James. I was glad.

James was having a hard time processing everything.

But a week later James had Mr. Royal's will read to him. And now he's was getting our house fixed and furnished. I couldn't wait to move in to our new house. Right now I was living with James in his apartment.

Today I had lunch with my parents. So when they went back to work I stayed here in their house to get ready to go with James.

As I made my way downstairs I turned off the lights. I finally got out and met James.

He stood against his car waiting for me. He turned to look at me and smiled. He gave me a hug and quick kiss before opening the door to the car.

I loved that I didn't have to have a guard with me at all times. And James could drive, and so could I. No one was telling us what we could and couldn't do.

"Hi Taylor!" Thomas said from the back seat.

I turned to look at him and then looked at James. He smiled and winked at me. "Hi Thomas." I greeted.

I was surprised to see he was coming with us. James said it was a date...

"Thomas, do you want to tell Taylor where we're going?" James said, as we waited for Tony to open the gate so we could go out.

"We are going on a picnic!" He said. "It's going to be fun."

"Relax Mrs. McDaniels," James smirked. "We also have a surprise before we go to our picnic."

"What is it?" I asked.

"You'll see." He replied.

Maybe we were getting a new dog. James put Molly down after she attacked Amanda. It was hard for him to say bye, and even cried. But no one is allowed to bring her up. Although she'll always be in our hearts. She was a great protector.

"Babe, are we going to take long." I asked. We were halfways across town.

"About 15 minutes. Why? Is something wrong? How's the baby?" He looked at me.

"First, eyes on the road, don't scare me." I said.

"Sorry, Honey." He said.

"Second I'm fine, the baby is fine. I just need to pee, and if it's going to take a while I won't make it. But since you say 15 minutes, I'll be fine."
