Chapter 2.6: The Wedding Date

Last time:  Norma was being shifty with men and Ruby was getting to the bottom of it.

 

 Ruby was ready for her and Jacob to get married. They discussed the idea and he agreed that they will look for a wedding venue soon.  Ruby suggested the beach and Jacob was enthusiastic about the idea.

They visited the local beach the week after...

They made a day of their beach visit and had a ball out in the sun.

As they were swimming the couple agreed that this beach would be perfect to get married at.

They made it up to the beach venue and danced on the very dance floor that in 2 months would be the place they first dance as husband and wife.

One night while Ruby was doing some late night reading she heard a noise coming from the hallway.

She ventured out and noticed Norma's door open and what she was inside was scandalous...

It was Norma in bed with her very own BOSS.

Ruby gasped and Norma jumped off the best in shock.  She was embarrassed and humiliated, so was Ruby.

Soon after Ruby's Boss Thornton left the girls to discus their issues.

Ruby yelled at Norma asking her what on earth she was thinking.  All these men in such a little time,not to mention married men.

Norma bit back and Ruby and told her to calm down and she would explain.

Norma told Ruby everything.  About what she was doing with the men and about the money she was receiving.  She was doing it to earn some extra cash as being a med student and working as a Ben Pan cleaner in the hospital did not pay well at all.

She said that she did not have a choice and when Ruby and Jacob asked if they could say with her she had to keep up the money as she could not afford to keep this house.  She didn't want to tell them about the money situation as she was embarrassed.

She said that Ruby has every right to still be angry with her but she hoped she wouldn't be.

While Ruby was still a bit angery with Norma for having an affair with her boss (which can jeopardize her job in the business career) she was her best friend and will always be there for her.

The girls hugged it out and Ruby told Norma how her and Jacob had officially set a wedding date.  Norma said she would organise her hens party soon.

Meanwhile Jacob was climbing the political career ladder and was so close to being Mayor of Everything Island.

 As the day of Ruby's hens party approached Norma found out some major news that would change her life forever.  She didn't want to tell Ruby the news until after her big party.

All of Ruby's close friend had arrived at the hens party.  Drinks were being made and food eaten.

Even a stripper was called to spice the party up.

It was getting late and Ruby offered Norma a drink. Norma declined.  Ruby wanted to know what was up.

 That's when Norma spat it out... she was pregnant.

Ruby was shocked and a bit scared for Norma.  She was happy for her but could not help but wonder if she knew who the father was, after all of the men she had been with.

Norma said that she knew who the father was and would tell him at the wedding tomorrow.

While curious about the father of Normas unborn baby she forgot about it for the rest of the night.  Norma made a toast to Ruby and the girls continued their girls night until the early hours of the morning.  They had a ball and Ruby was well and truly ready for married life the next day.

 The moonlight ceremony at the beach was beautiful.

Ruby and Jacob were finally married and became Mr and Mrs Silverset with Jacob taking up Ruby's last name in appreciation for the legacy.

The couple had a beautiful first dance to 'I Will Always Love You' and had never been more in love.

Then towards the end of the night the messy and fun dance moves began.

It was also then time for Norma to tell the father of her baby that he was going to be a Dad.  It was Hal Breckenbridge, head of the police department, and who was luckily not married.

Hal gave Norma the thumbs up, he was pretty cool with the situation and said these things happen.

He reassured Norma that he will be there for the baby.  That was more then she could ask for.

Ruby and Jacob while very very tired decided to finish their magical night off with a  whoo hoo.

 The next few months went along quick and Norma was about to pop. And Hal was being supportive.

Norma then asked Hal if she could move in and Ruby and Jacob were moving out and she could not afford her house on the own, let alone look after a baby on her own.  He agreed and she moved in soon after.

It was not long until Ruby also got a surprise and realised she was officially pregnant with her first child and first potential heir to the Silverset legacy.

Next time:  Will Ruby have a boy or girl?  How is Norma and her baby going?  Ruby and Jacob move into their new house!
