Married in the 4th grade

Chapter 17

For the next few weeks, everything was a blur. Marissa was there with me and our moms as I picked out the perfect dress, and Marissa got a beautiful blue dress that she could wear again (maybe for a date with Jimmy.) Jimmy was doing great after taking over most of my classes, and another former student had been hired to handle the rest. My doctor said that it wasn't good for the baby to do all the heavy twisting and movements even this early on in my pregnancy, so I started up the "Water Babies" and "Future Mamas" water aerobics classes, which meet 2 times a week. One is to teach little ones how to swim at a very early age and the other is well for pregnant women to be able to get some exercise that won't hurt their babies. I am still the manager at Joe's Gym, for now, Sam is determined to find someone to take over. He wants us to be living full time at his house, instead of back and forth on the weekends.

Mom and I had a long talk about grandma leaving me everything in her will, since I was the only grandchild at the time of her death. My slimy uncle tried to claim he had a child who should get ½ but DNA tests soon proved him a liar, yet again. Plus, Saul was great and somehow got hold of the slime balls medical records showing that he was incapable of producing offspring due to having Scarlett Fever when he was young. My lawyers, Claude and Teddy, were able to show this information to the major trustee and shut down all uncle's attempts to get his hands on the estate.

Sam and I had long talks, usually in bed at night, about what we did in the time between 4th grade and Sab's bachelorette party.

Mimi: So, you have been looking for me for like 10 years and never thought to ask Mom or Dad where I was? Lame, Sam, really lame.

Sam: Hey, I wasn't thinking clearly. All I could think about was how hot you were gonna turn out and how I was going to convince you to consummate our marriage. I did finally ask mom and she got ahold of your parents. That's how I knew you moved back into town. Darling, we need to talk about you selling that condo you're in, since soon you should be here with me in this house full time.

Mimi: I don't just own the condo, honey.

Sam: What do you mean?

Mimi: I own the entire building, it was part of my inheritance. I was going to talk to you about finding a good management company that might want to take over its care. You wouldn't happen to know one off hand would you?

Sam (Pretending to think): Well, I might know of a really good one, and best thing is that Kyle, my PA, needs a new place to live. So, he could move in your condo and see the day to day operation of it from there.

Mimi: You seem to have thought this out pretty thoroughly. What are you up to?

Sam: Well, remember when I was trying to force you be completely dependent on me once more?

Mimi: Yes, and I'm still mad at you for trying to fire me from my own gym.

Sam: Sorry, love, I'll make sure to apologize for that again later. (Wink, wink!) ;) Anyway, I looked into how to maybe buy this building, but I found out it was owned by the Estate of Gina Hansen. I didn't know you were her sole heir at the time, but I did know she was your grandma. So, there was no way on this planet anyone in your family would have sold it to me. I, then, started thinking of other ways to get you to give up this condo and who could take over for you managerial wise. Kyle seems like the perfect fit, I know he's getting tired of being my "forced slave" as he calls it. I floated the idea by him once when he spoke about his rent going up and how he wanted to find a new place. He loved the idea, so I don't see any problems getting him to start right after the wedding.

Mimi: Uncle slim ball would sold this place out from under me in a heartbeat for money, but other than him, you're right none of my other relatives would have. Kinda glad you didn't find out the name of the Trustee for the Estate. Otherwise, you would have known who I was in regards of the gym way sooner.

Sam: Let me guess, could it be Claude?

Mimi: Bingo, babe. If I'm moving to your home after the wedding then I will need to get boxes in the morning to start packing. All the furniture can stay and Kyle can arrange it how he wants. I just need to get my personal items like clothes, family pictures, safe, etc... Kyle can even have all my dishware, cooking items, towels, linens, cutlery and toiletries because I won't need them anymore.

Sam: I can get a moving crew in here by Saturday to pack you up and bring it all to my place.

Mimi: Sam, that's crazy to pay a full moving crew for like 5 or 6 boxes. Besides, I don't want some stranger packing my unmentionables. (Blushes in Sam's chest.)

Sam: My love, you are one of a kind. You are so right, I don't want any other male to see your "unmentionables" either. I love it when you blush when talking about underwear, too cute. I will have Saul come over with a few boxes tomorrow and he can help you sort through everything. I know he is efficient so while he is packing your family items, you can take a box and pack all those wonderful lacy items in your upper right drawer and cover them over with clothes from your closet. That way he doesn't see anything.

Mimi: Ok, now can I go to sleep?
