I've been waiting

Chapter 34

Sabrina POV

I roll over in the bed and put my arm out to cuddle into Michael like I do every morning and he isn't there. I am now thinking, where is he? Why isn't he here next to me, then it hits me OH MY GOD, I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY

The noise that comes out of my mouth is a mixture of a scream and a squeal. Jayla comes flying into the bedroom with a concerned look on her face "Sabs what's wrong? Why were you screaming?"

I look to Jayla with a smile on my lips and tears in my eyes. "Jayla, I'm getting married today"

The tears start falling and I am starting to wonder why I'm crying. The watery mouth I have suddenly gotten makes my words faulter and I am up and out of the bedroom quicker than the speed of light. I only make it to the sink where I empty what is in my stomach.

"Why baby. Just let mummy have one day where she doesn't throw up everything, please?"

I wash my face and brush my teeth before leaving the bathroom straight into Jayla's arms. "Oh hun, I am so proud of you. I can't wait to help get you ready and be by your side. Today is going to be amazing"

"It'll be even better if this little blob would let me have one day where I don't feel like poop"

"That blob is your baby, and I'm pretty sure being roughly 8 to 9 weeks that baby has a heartbeat and is growing perfectly. Just remember what the pregnancy nurse said. The more you're sick the healthier the baby is"

"I think she just says that to make mothers like me calm down and worry less" I say. My hormones are all over the place.

"Lets get some food into your belly. At least then if you throw up again there will be something worth throwing up"

We head towards the kitchen. Jayla starts taking out what she needs to make pancakes and I sit at the bench watching her. I must zone out from her talking when I feel something splash on my forehead

"What the hell Jayla. Did you just throw pancake batter at me?"

"Yes, I was asking if you wanted a cup of tea and I think I asked you like 100 times and you never answered me so to get your attention I threw pancake batter at you. Would you like me to lick it off your face?"

The batter was now dripping down my nose. I look at Jayla with disgust

"You're feral, you know that right?"

Jayla starts cackling like a witch at me. She turns to the stove to start cooking the pancakes. I get up and walk to the sink to wash the batter off my face. Once it is cleaned up I turn the kettle on and prepare making a tea for me and a coffee for Jayla

"Can you believe the day has finally arrived. It's my wedding day" I say to Jayla with a smile plastered across my face. "It has come around so quickly. Here eat these. Get something in your belly" Jayla passes me a plate with a couple of pancakes, and I eat them plain. I can't bear anything else right now.

"I'll be right back ok"

I nod my head at Jayla as she makes her way back to her bedroom. I'm still sitting at the bench eating the pancakes and drinking my tea when I zone out again. All I can picture in my mind is walking down the aisle to the man I love. Seeing him at the top of it, looking as handsome as ever, holding his hand out to me.

I'm brought back from my daydream when a little gold box is placed in front of me on the bench. I look up at Jayla who has a gorgeous smile looking straight back at me

"What's this for hun?" I ask her with raised eyebrows "Happy birthday Sabrina. It is just a little something for you to hopefully love like I love mine"

Oh, shoot how could I have forgotten it was my birthday. My mind is going a million miles a second. I'm berating myself for forgetting but with all the wedding planning and of course this little bean inside of my stomach everything else took second place. I open the box and find the most gorgeous tear drop diamond necklace in there. My eyes start watering straight away looking at the necklace.

"I love it Jayla. Thank you so much for this" I stand up and pull her into a hug. I let go of Jayla and look at the necklace again.

"I'm going to wear it today. It'll go nicely with my dress and my earrings"

"Oh that reminds me. I have something else to give to you but it isn't from me. Hang there a second"

Jayla runs back off into her bedroom and emerges a minute later holding another box. This time the box is green with a black bow on top. There is a little note attached to the box. As Jayla hands me the box I take the note from it and read it out loud

"Dear Sabrina, I know I am not with you this morning on your birthday, but I wanted you to have your birthday present from me. I hope you love them as much as I loved getting them for you. I love you so much beautiful and I cannot wait to see you later. All my love, Michael xx"

I am now a blubbering mess as I read the note attached to the box. I put the note down and open the box. Michael had gifted me a pair of diamond studded earrings, they are not in the same shape as the necklace but they are just as extravagant. My tears are falling fast and I let out a little sob. Jayla puts her arms around me and holds me tight.

Smoothing my hair with her hands she places a small kiss to the top of my head. "Time for a shower babe. Lets get you into the bathroom" She takes my hands and leads me to the bathroom. I start the shower and strip off my pyjamas. I get into the shower when the water is at the right temperature and just stand under the soothing stream of water

"I'll go and get your things from the bedroom ok. I'll be back in a jiffy" I just nod my head at Jayla. We are comfortable in our nakedness in front of each other. Jayla has seen my body more times than I can count. Especially with all the beltings I would get from my mother over the years. She returns to the bathroom with my toiletries and leaves me once again to shower and get ready for today.

I finish the shower and get out wrapping a towel around my hair and one around my body. I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself. I look a little pale, but I think that is to do with the fact I am about to bring my breakfast up. I make it to the toilet this time. I sit back on the tiles and flush the toilet. I take a couple of deep breaths and rise to my feet. I go back to the sink and brush my teeth again.

"Jayla, I hope you have enough makeup to cover up my paleness and bags under my eyes. "I bought out Sephora for today just to make sure we have plenty"

I laugh at her comment and head into the bedroom to start getting ready. I dry off my body and put on my underwear and the fluffy robe that Jayla has let me borrow. I come out of the bedroom to her setting up in the lounge room.

"Come on gorgeous girl lets get you bride ready." I take a seat and let Jayla get to work. We didn't hire makeup artists or hairdressers for today. I love how Jayla gets me ready for special things so today she is my makeup artist and hairdresser.

Roughly 3 hours and 4 visits to the bathroom later, I am now looking like a bride. We decided to go for a natural look for the make up and my hair is in a up-do with a few ringlets falling around my face. In that time Jayla had also gotten herself ready. I think the trips to the bathroom helped there.

"Lets get your dress on and if you cry I will slap you got it" She says with a laugh. "Got it. I will try not to cry, I cannot promise you though."

My dress is on and it is now time to go
