Closer to my Beloved's Heart

Chapter Thirty-Seven

The long awaited day of Glenn and Jay's wedding was finally here. I was excited for them and silly me, I couldn't sleep because of it. I knew that Mark had to go and prepare with Glenn for tonight, so I kissed him before he flitted away.

"It'll be hard for Glenn and me today." He said softly and hugged me gently.

I knew what he meant by that. He didn't want to be apart from me for the whole day and I felt the same. But it was only customary to do the same thing they did for us on our wedding day. But with this, I pretended not to know what he was talking about.

"What do you mean, Mark?" I asked softly.

He looked down at me and placed a big hand upon my stomach then slowly bent, placing a soft kiss upon my lips. I melted against him as a result. He was such a strong ruthless man but with me, these times meant the world to me; he was so gentle and loving that it made me fall deeper in love with him. He was always loving toward me and I wouldn't want it any other way.

He straightened with a smirk then wished me a soft goodbye before flitting away. I stood there for a moment and pressed my fingertips against my lips, cherishing his adoring kiss. I then closed my eyes and sighed. I missed him already, but we would see each other at the wedding, which was coincidentally at seven tonight. Although they weren't Vampires, Jay and Glenn wanted a wedding like Mark and mine.

Well that's good because Mark could go then. Sure he could walk in the sunlight and all, but it was nice that Glenn invited him nonetheless.

I opened my eyes and decided there was no better time like the present and floated to Glenn and Jay's room.

I appeared in their room only to find Jay awake and sitting in bed, looking down into a medium-sized purple velvet box with wide eyes. I floated to the window and grasped the curtains, pulling them open. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, which meant it was six in the morning. The Ancients sure knew what they were doing when they created this masterpiece. It was just so beautiful.

I turned back to Jay, who was still staring down into the medium-sized box in her lap, and floated to the edge of the bed. I slowly eased down upon the edge and looked at her as she finally looked up at me.

"He did the same thing for me that Mark did for you but it is something else." She said softly then showed me the gift she received from Glenn.

My eyes grew wide. It was a diamond heart-shaped necklace that he had gotten her. The heart was as big as the ruby teardrop I have. The chain was made of smaller diamonds, which offset the larger amber gem. This goes to show you that these men were seriously wealthy, hence their titles.

By the Ancients...

"It's gorgeous, Jay. Did he just buy that for you?" I asked then looked at her.

Shrugging she replied, "I guess he did. I do not know."

She sighed then and shook her head, still in awe of her priceless gift.

I slowly stood and looked down at her, placing a hand upon my stomach.

"I'm here to get you up and prepared for the day. All of us women are going to be pampered but you especially, just like I was the day of my marriage. So up and Adam." I said with a smile.

She closed the lid of the velvet box then looked down at her hands in her lap. I frowned at the sounds of her quickening heartbeat. Was everything all right with her? I slowly sat back down upon the edge of the bed and grasped her hand in mine.

"Jay, talk to me."

She then looked up at me with tears in her eyes. My frown deepened.

"It is just that, everything is changing. I changed because I do not want to follow a stupid rule with Glenn. I gave myself to him and now I am pregnant. Tonight I am going to become the queen of Wolphshire. If I have a daughter, then she'll be a princess. Oh Angel, I am so scared of the future and basically of everything it entails." She sniffled then wiped her eyes with the back of her hands, looking at me after.
