Tiffany sat in the hotel lobby, looking at her phone with a
shake of the head. Elijah reached over and grabbed her hand.
Elijah. What's wrong, love?
Tiffany. She's late.
Elijah. Tiffany, she said 11AM.
Tiffany. And it's 11:02.
Elijah. Relax.
Tiffany sighed hard as Elijah took her phone.
Elijah. What's actually wrong?
Tiffany. I just want this to be perfect, Elijah. This wedding
has to be perfect down to the last second.
Elijah. It will be. You know why? Because I get to marry you all
over again.
Tiffany glared at him with a smirk. He leaned over and kissed
her.
Elijah. Don't be giving me no death stares, woman.
Tiffany. Why do you do that?
Elijah. Because life isn't meant to be stressful all the time,
Tiffany. Sometimes, you just have to let life be and go with
whatever it brings you.
They stared at each other.
Tiffany. I love you for trying.
Elijah. But you're still upset.
Tiffany. Very.
Elijah laughed just as the lobby doors slid open and their
wedding planner, Ennise, walked in with her files.
Ennise. So sorry I'm late, there was an accident on the highway.
Elijah. No problem, we weren't going anywhere.[/center]

Elijah looked over at Tiffany who still looked annoyed. Elijah
smiled at her slightly and at her. While Ennise set up.
Elijah. Traffic... What can you do?
Tiffany. Leave earlier...
Elijah smiled at her quick comeback and sighed slightly.
Ennise. I'm so sorry... But, I'm sure you'll be blown away by
what I have for you... I know you wanted an outdoor wedding.. So
I've got a few venues for you.. And I know you wanted a very
lavish wedding, so I have a few options to look at with you..
Elijah. Okay coo..
Elijah looked over at Tiffany who'd crossed her legs. He smiled
because he knew Ennise had to come strong to please Tiffany or
this meeting wouldn't last long.

Tiffany watched as Ennise pulled out a packet. She handed it to
Elijah and Tiffany leaned over, reading as she began to speak.
Ennise. The first theme is 'African Royalty'. The location I was
considering as a cliff side park called--
Tiffany. No.
Elijah looked at Tiffany.
Elijah. Baby, let her finish.
Tiffany. We can't do a cliff. My mother is afraid of heights.
Elijah. You're inviting your mother?
Tiffany. If I don't, she'll crash. I'd rather not have that
fight on our wedding day.
Ennise. Okay, that's fine.
Ennise pulled out another packet and handed it over.
Ennise. My next idea is a beach wedding at sunset.
Tiffany. Beach won't work. Elijah's father hates the beach.
Elijah. True. Weird, but true.
Tiffany sighed, defeated. She pushed her hair back and rubbed
her temples out of frustration.
Elijah. Relax, baby, we'll find something.
Tiffany. It has to be something perfect, Elijah! All these
people are expecting us to have some half ass wedding and I
reuse to let that be the case! If she can't come up with
something perfect then maybe we're paying here for nothing!
Elijah. Tiffany, relax!
Tiffany looked at Elijah and stood up.
Tiffany. I'll be back.
Ennise. Ms. Woods--
Tiffany. I said I'll be back.
Tiffany walked off to the bar and ordered tea, taking deep
breaths.[/center]

Elijah watched as Tiffany walked out of the room. He sighed as
he looked back at Ennise.
Elijah. Yo.. My bad.
He knew Tiffany was stressed about making an impression on the
world, but he could also look at Ennise and tell she was
nervous.
Elijah. She... -sigh- She just want this wedding to be major..
Ennise. I know... And it will be... Just give me a chance.. I
can do this...
Elijah. We seen your work.. It's dope.. It's just those venues
aint gon work..
They were quiet for a moment and then a memory from his
childhood popped into his mind.
Elijah. What about that castle on Hamilton Island?
Ennise. I didn't know there was a castle on the island...
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. You must not be a native..
Ennise shook her head.
Ennise. No.. I just moved here after college..
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. Well yeahh.. There's a castle.. We used to pass it all
the time when I was younger.. I used to tell my mama I was gon
live there..
Ennise nodded and pulled out her phone.
Ennise. That sounds perfect.. I'll find their contact
information..
Elijah nodded and stood up.
Elijah. Ima go check on Tiff..
He knew it was important to give Tiffany some time to breathe,
but she'd been gone a while, and he wanted to make sure she was
okay. He was also a little excited to tell her about the castle.

Tiffany stood near the bar, jaw on the floor as she spoke on the
phone to Melanie.
Tiffany. Are you sure?
Melanie. I'm looking at it right now, Tiffany. The test is
positive.
Her eyes landed on Elijah as he walked in the room.
Tiffany. I'll call you back, Elijah just walked in.
Melanie. Tiffany--
Tiffany. We'll figure this out.
Tiffany hung up and downed her soda before walking to Elijah.
Elijah. There you are. You good?
Tiffany. I'm fine. I just needed to call Melanie and clear my
head.
Elijah. Tiff, baby...
Tiffany. I know. I'm a bitch. I'm attitudinal, I'm moody, I'm
always irritating.
Elijah. I didn't say that, Tiffany.
Tiffany. It's because I'm pregnant.
Tiffany stared at him.
Tiffany. I took the test before you came to pick me up, and
asked Melanie to check it. It's positive.
Elijah stared at Tiffany blankly.
Tiffany. Say something, Elijah, because I'm freaking the hell
out and I don't need both of us to freak the hell out, because
one of us has to be sane right now so please, just say anything
to me![/center]

Elijah was still letting her words process through his mind
while he felt a range of emotions including joy, fear and panic.
"She's pregnant... We gon have a baby... Oh shit.. We gon have a
baby.."
He looked at her face and he immediately smiled at her.
Elijah. We gon have a baby?
Tiffany nodded with question marks written all over her face. He
stretched out his hands to touch her stomach as his smile grew
wider. He touched her stomach lightly.
Elijah. We gon have a baby, baby!
Tiffany smiled slightly and he slid his arms around her waist
and pulled her close to him.
Elijah. Dont freak out alright..
Tiffany. Elijah... We have so much going on already... And..
Elijah. And now we're going to have a baby too...
He smiled down at her while she looked up at him.
Tiffany. I have to finish school..
Elijah. You will.. I'll be there...
Tiffany. You'll be at practice or at games or something..
Elijah. We'll we can work around your school schedule. And I'll
make sure you have some help.. My mom will come sit or your mom
or something...
Tiffany continued to stare up at him as if she was still
uncertain.
Tiffany. We just found Samone too.. We have to rehearse and
record and....
Elijah. And you can still do all that too...
Elijah lifted her chin up and kissed her lips.
Elijah. We can have a kid and have our careers too.. A lot of
people do it..
All in all, Elijah was excited about the thought of being a
father. Even though it wasn't something he would've planned to
happen right now, he was confident that he was in a position
where he'd be able to support them while she followed her dreams
and they could raise a family too.
He kissed her lips again.
Elijah. I got you alright... I got us.. Dont worry about
nothing... Just you and the baby relax..
He smiled down at her and his hand slid down to her stomach.
Tiffany. How are you so calm?
Elijah. Cause I trust that everything happens for a reason...
We'll figure it out together... Alright?

Tiffany. I don't know, Elijah.
Elijah. What you mean?
Tiffany. This is all happening so fast. We just started all this
and it's happening all at once.
Elijah. So what you want to do?
Tiffany cut her eyes at Elijah as his tone changed.
Tiffany. I'm not getting rid of it, I'm not going through that
kind of trauma. Baby, I just don't know if we're actually ready
for this. A baby?! We're planning a wedding, you're about to get
drafted, I'm about to get into the group and bust our asses, and
we're supposed to raise a child in all this madness?!
Elijah put his hands on Tiffany's face and made her look at him.
Elijah. Stop it. Look at me and listen, Tiffany.
Tiffany felt the heat from his hands calm her spirit down.
Elijah. We got this. Okay?
Tiffany. But--
Elijah. No buts. You hear me?
Tiffany. I knew we should have been more careful.
Elijah sighed.
Tiffany. Baby, I'm sorry. I know you're Mr. Calm Cool and
Collected, but I can't be that right now. I never even saw
myself as a mother, I never knew if I wanted kids or
not.[/center]

Elijah looked at Tiffany for a moment.
Elijah. Well.. I think you'd be a good mom..
Tiffany. My mom wasn't a good mom..
Elijah. You know what not to do though... and my mom is pretty
solid. -laugh- I know she's gonna flip when we tell her..
Tiffany. My mother is going to flip out.. Maybe it was a false
positive.
Tiffany sighed and shook her head putting her fingers on her
temples and rubbing them.
Elijah. C'mere..
Elijah pulled her lightly to him and he wrapped his arms around
her and kissed the top of her forehead. He knew it was just in
her nature to worry. He kissed the top of her head.
Elijah. False positive or major blow out from our folks.. I got
you alright?
Tiffany looked up at him still looking unsure but she eventually
nodded with a sigh.. Just then he remembered the progress he and
Ennise had made with the venue.
Elijah. I wanted to ask you though... What do you think about
getting married at a castle?
Tiffany. The wedding... We have to move the date... I refuse to
be pregnant in my wedding pictures Elijah..
Elijah. We'll move the date.. It's coo... What about being in
front of the castle though? -smirk- We still need a venue.

Tiffany. You always call me a spoiled princess, and now you
actually want to get married in front of a castle?
Elijah. It's beautiful, baby. Everything you would have ever
wanted.
Tiffany shook her head.
Tiffany. You know what I think?
Elijah. What?
Tiffany. I think that because now that I may have an entirely
new life to consider, you should plan the ceremony.
Elijah's eyes landed on Tiffany.
Tiffany. You have great taste, I know you wouldn't make both of
us look bad, and I swear if that woman is late for another damn
appointment, I would slap her. I want to leave it to you. You
handle all of that and I'll handle all of this.
Elijah. Girl--
Tiffany. You'll do great. Go settle up with her, then we can go
to the doctor to be sure. Mmkay, love?
She kissed his cheek. As the moments passed, she felt
butterflies filling her stomach. Strangely, the thought of
having Elijah's baby excited her. And she wasn't about to let it
go for anything.[/center]

Elijah. Alright baby.. Ima be right back alright?
Tiffany nodded and he walked back inside the room as Ennise held
the phone to her ear.
Ennise. Hey.. I have the place for the castle on the phone..
Elijah. Good. We need to move the date up to a month from now.
Ennise. Huh?
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. Some things came up and we gotta do is soon..
Ennise nodded.
Ennise. I will make it happen for you guys.
Elijah. Good. Im also gonna be doing the planning apparently..
So just text me and send me shit I guess.. I normally always got
my phone..
Ennise nodded as she took the phone from her ear. They listened
to the hold music as Ennis programmed Elijah's number in her
phone.
Ennise. Alright.. I got you all plugged in and I will get the
venue booked and get a new theme for you guys.. I'm thinking a
royal wedding since we'll have the castle..
Elijah nodded.
Elijah. Sounds good.. I gotta go though.. Call me if you need
something alright?
Ennise nodded and Elijah made his way out of the hotel again
then he and Tiffany made their way to the car. They both got in
and he looked over at her.
Elijah. You ready?
Tiffany. Ready as I'll ever be I guess...
Elijah smirked lightly and drove to the nearest place to
administer a real pregnancy test for Tiffany.
.... Once they got home, his face was plastered with a smile and
he was ready to call everyone he knew, and he was ready to be at
her call for the next 7 and a half months. A doctor confirmed
that Tiffany was indeed a month and a half pregnant, and
everything seemed to be fine with the baby. He advised her to
get to her normal doctor as soon as she could, but told them
there was nothing to worry about.
Elijah locked the door while Tiffany took a seat on their couch.
Tiffany. I'm tired...
Elijah. We did do a lot of moving around today... And you
holding...
Tiffany smirked slightly.
Tiffany. You really think we're ready for this?
Elijah shrugged.
Elijah. We not kids... And we working on some good careers.. I
think we gon alright... Matter of fact. I know we gon be
alright..
Tiffany smirked.
Tiffany. I never thought I'd be planning for a wedding and a
baby at the same time..
Elijah. Well. You plan for the baby and I'll plan for the
wedding like you said and we gon be alright..
Tiffany smiled at him as he sat next to her and she laid in his
lap. He brushed her hair with his hand as he kicked his feet up
on the coffee table. They spent the rest of their evening
talking about which room to make the nursery while he also eased
the random doubts she'd began to have about motherhood. As far
as he was concerned, life was going according to the plan he'd
crafted in his mind when he said he wanted to go to the draft,
and he was extremely excited about it.
END SCENE
