Gabriella's eyes opened and she groaned. Michael leaned over her, placing his hands on her shoulders as she tried to sit up. "Woah! Easy girl, you just had a pretty nasty fall" he said, watching her anxiously. "Where's my daughter?" she wanted to know. "She's safe" he answered, pointing to his assistant, who held Heaven talking to her softly. She sighed in relief. "Is she alright?" Michael nodded. "Just a red mark. She'll be just fine Miss....?" She grinned sheepishly. "Forgive me. I am Gabriella Taylor and the baby is Heaven" He smiled. "She's beautiful. There's someone here who wants to speak to you" He gestured to the officer waiting in the hall. "Hello Miss Taylor I am officer Randy Miller. Tell me what happened" She swallowed hard and shuddered, before begining to speak in a soft halting voice. "Well Eddie was being loud and beligerant and I wanted to get my little girl away from that. Well he didn't like it and swung and hit me and my daughter." Michael's face was stormy as he listened to her talk. "Then Michael came and moved me so the baby was between him and I and made him leave" The officer nodded making notes here and there. "And Mr. Jackson, how did you come to be out there?" Michael thought for a moment. "Well I heard loud yelling and the squeal of tires so I thought there had been an accident. I walked outside just as he hit her and I heard Gabby scream that he had hit her baby and I went into autopilot. I heard him say that she probably wasnt his anyway and raise his hand to hit her again and I just moved. I don't believe in hurting women or children. Especially Children!" he clenched his fists, his brown eyes shining with unshed tears. The officer nodded and Gabby reached over and grabbed Michael's hand. "Do you have a safe place to go tonight Miss Taylor?" He asked. She slowly shook her head. "I'll take care of her" Michael said softly. "She can stay with me" She blushed brightly. "Oh no I couldn't. I don't want to Impos...." He lifted his hand..."No I insist. I want you to be safe" She nodded, realizing that he wasn't budging on this. The officer left and she sighed softly. The assistant brought Heaven over and placed her in Gabby's arms, quietly leaving the room. Gabby cuddled her daughter gratefully. Michael smiled tenderly at the picture the two of them made. "May I hold her?" he asked and Gabby smiled. "You saved our lives! Of course you can" She handed the infant to him. His face was a vision of tenderness as he lifted her and pressed his lips to her forehead. "You sure are a precious Angel arent you? A little princess. Absolutely angelic" he whispered to her, her eyes rested on his face. He hummed softly, swaying back and forth and tenderly stroking her cheek with one finger. Gabby felt choked up, as if she were witnessing something magical. Never had she seen anyone treat a child with such infinite tenderness and gentility. Never had she seen anything so beautiful. He lifted his head and his eyes found hers and she felt like she was staring into his soul. "I love Children" he breathed, his voice filled with tenderness and wonder. "I feel safest when I am surrounded by them. Children are my whole life. The reason I get up every day. The reason I sing, and dance and do anything!" He said softly, looking down at the little girl in his arms, a tear slowly coursing its way down his cheek. She smiled and placed her hand on his arm, showing him she understood.

Gabby stared nervously out the window of the limo, watching the car behind them. Michael had mentioned that he didn't know if it was safe for the baby's carseat to be in the limo so she put Heaven in the van with John Landis and the assistants. She felt a tap on her shoulder and looked back, finding her face inches from Michael's. He smiled in understanding..."She'll be fine Gabby. Kaleb is an excellent driver. He wont let anything happen to them" She leaned her head back and sighed loudly, trying to calm herself. She looked out the window and noticed that they were stoppped in front of two large wrought iron gates with the words NeverLand across them. She looked at him and he grinned like a kid at christmas. "We're home!" he said excitedly. The gates swung open and she gasped loudly. The driveway weaved in and out over rolling hills and there were trees and flowers everywhere. "Oh my gosh! Michael its beautiful!" she breathed. "I know. This is my safe place. My santuary" she smiled at him. The limo stopped and Michael got out and walked around to open her door. She blushed as he held his hand out to her and helped her out. She walked over and unbuckled Heaven's carseat and set it on the driveway, taking her daughter out and giving her a kiss. "Hi Prettyness!" she said softly, kissing her cheek. "How's my girl?" she asked, grinning as her daughter tried to smile. She turned her around. "Look Babygirl. Isn't it beautiful?" Heaven waved her hands as a butterfly fluttered and landed on her outstretched fingers. Gabby laughed happily and looked back at Michael. "Oh Michael I feel so good here. There is a good vibe here. Like safety and fun and happiness" she bubbled, cuddling her daughter close. Michael smiled and walked over, sliding his hand into hers. "Thats the point. I wanted a place where I could get away from all the bad things. The stress and press and all of that. Someplace good and wholesome where I can have fun" He smiled at her and reached for Heaven and Gabby placed the baby in his arms. He smiled tenderly at her. "I see why they call you Heaven. You are godsent" he whispered to her, and Gabby smiled. "Look at that. Not even a year old yet and she's a Michael Jackson fan." Gabby laughed and Michael couldn't help but giggle with her. "I love your laugh Gabby. Its contagious" She blushed brightly and dropped her eyes, looking up at him through her long lashes. "God she is gorgeous" Michael thought to himself, hiding his blush by cuddling the baby to his shoulder. She walked out into the sunshine and turned her head up, a huge smile on her face. She began to run, spreading out her arms and spinning before falling into the grass and just sighing softly. Michael smiled..."My nanny is going to come down and grab Heaven so I can show you around and stuff. I have a full nursery here so she will be taken care of" Gabby nodded as a blonde woman came and took the baby from Michael. "I thought you could use a little break" Gabby nodded..."Definately" Michael grabbed her hand again and they began to walk. As they walked, Michael pointed out different things, like his animals and the woods and other things. The only thing Gabby could really concentrate on was the feeling of her hand nestled into Michael's. She shifted her fingers and Michael slid his inbetween them. She shivered slightly at the way her hand fit so perfectly into his, and she shook her head trying to change her train of thought before she blushed. Michael looked over at her. "You ok Gabby?" She nodded. "Just enjoying this place so much" she lied, trying not to smile. He nodded and swung their hands, his thumb brushing lightly over her knuckles. Her hand tingled each time he caressed her and it was doing interesting things to her stomach. She suddenly found it hard to breathe and everytime she would sneak a look at him, her stomach flipped alarmingly. "God what is going on with me?" she asked herself, biting her lip. Her eyes widened and she looked over at him, and again her stomach fluttered. "I'm getting a crush on Michael Jackson!" she thought she had said that to herself, but in actuality she had said it outloud, and loudly too. Her own voice startled her and she covered her mouth. "Oh god!" she exclaimed and dropped his hand, running into the woods. She pressed her face against one of the trees, her face burning with a bright blush. "I cant believe I said that!" she hissed to herself, kicking the tree and pacing back and forth. "You idiot!" she said, before slumping down into a sitting position against the tree and leaning her head back against it. "Now what?"

Gabriella sighed and stood there for a moment, feeling completly and totally silly. "Why did I say that?" she mumbled again to herself. She shook her head and then listened, and far off in the distance she could hear Michael calling her. He sounded worried. "Well I guess its time to face the music" she mumbled and walked back through the woods and into the yard. "I'm here!" she called and Michael came running up all worried and breathless. "Gosh Gabby you scared me! Don't disappear like that!" he scolded and she blushed brightly. "Sorry I was embarassed" she mumbled and he giggled. "Oh honey. I have women telling me they have a crush on me every day! Its nothing to be embarassed about. I like you too" he answered with a grin. "But not like I like you" Gabby mumbled. Michael's eyebrows shot up. "Oh? What makes you say that?" he wanted to know. She looked up at him and then shook her head. "Please Gabby. Tell me" he said in a soft husky voice that she found unbelieveably sexy. "I like you enough that if you asked me to...I would stay here forever. I'm begining to think "like" is too mild of a word for how I feel about you." she said softly, looking at the ground. He tilted her head up, and their eyes met. "Don't be ashamed of how you feel Gabriella" he said softly, and her stomach jumped at the way he said her name. He pulled her close and brushed his lips across the corner of her mouth. "I liked you the moment I saw you. All damsel in distress and everything. The only thing I could think was god she is beautiful" he breathed the last word and she looked up at him. He tilted her head up and pressed his mouth lightly to hers, his kiss gentle and sweet. She slid her fingers up into his hair and slid them slowly through the curls, marveling at the silkiness of them. She could smell his cologne, and his hair and another scent that was just pure Michael. She rested her head on his chest and he stroked her hair. "I love you Michael" she whispered softly into his chest. She looked up at him and was suprised to find tears coursing down his cheeks. "Michael! Did I hurt you?" she asked in a worried voice. He shook his head and wiped the tears away. "I always thought I would be alone. I thought that that was how a celebrity was supposed to live." He hugged her tightly. "I love you too Gabriella. More than anything else in this world" he whispered to her. She stood on her tip toes and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply and then looking into his eyes. He laughed happily and picked her up, swinging her around and setting her back on her feet. "This is going to be wonderful" Gabby said happily. "And its just the begining" Michael answered, grabbing her hand.

Michael led her into the house and she gasped. "Oh wow Michael its even more beautiful than outside if that is possible" He smiled and kept tugging her hand. She wondered where they were going but trusted him so she followed willingly. They walked down a long hall and came to a set of double doors. She waited as he unlocked them and pushed them open, showing her the most elegant bedroom she had ever seen in her life. The bed was enormous, with a crimson red comforter and matching pillows. The walls were painted a warm cream color and the curtians were a lighter shade of red. She walked into the room and smiled spinning as she looked around. "Wow. It looks so comfortable in here" she said softly, turning and looking back at him. He smiled at her and quietly closed the door, giving her a chance to look around. She giggled and crossed her arms, giving him a playfull look. "Michael Jackson!" she scolded playfully. "Now why would you bring such an innocent, sweet damsel such as me into your bedroom?" she asked, pretending to be shocked. He walked slowly towards her, his smile turning into a playful grin. "I just wanted to show you my pictures!" he said in a exreamely fake innocent voice. She laughed and looked around. "There are no pictures in here Michael" she teased. "Oops I forgot" he whispered as he pulled her against him. She looked up at him through her lashes and he groaned and stepped away for a moment, running his fingers through his hair. She stepped up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Michael? Are you alright?" She smiled wickedly and brushed her fingers lightly across his stomach through his shirt. He shivered. "Yeah. Its just..." He turned and looked at her. "I want you so much I cant stand it. But I dont want to be all brutish or anything" he said honestly, his face going a light shade of pink. She smiled. "You are so sweet. You wouldn't be brutish Michael. Do as you feel." She whispered against his mouth, standing up on her tip toes and pressing her body against his as she kissed him. He groaned into her mouth and wrapped his arms tightly around her, deepening the kiss and lightly nibbling on her lower lip. She reached up and pulled her hair tie out, letting her long curls cascade down her back. Michael just stared, he had never seen her with her hair down. "Oh wow! Gabby...You are stunning with your hair down" Michael breathed. She shook her head, letting her curls fall across her eyes and giving him a seductive look. He pulled her close again and kissed her hard, his hands sliding down her back and pressing her close to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and slid her fingers into his hair, returning his kiss with the same amount of passion. She smiled and pulled back. "Will you sing for me Michael?" she asked coyly, turning and starting to unbutton her shirt, while looking over her shoulder playfully. He gulped. "Now?" he asked, his voice deep and husky. "Yes please" she said, sliding one side of the shirt off her shoulder. She looked back at him and gave him a smile. He cleared his throat and began to sing.

All you gotta do is just walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when
I'm trying to get through
To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you

I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near me
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby you give me butterflies

I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

If you would take my hand, baby I would show you
Guide you to the light babe
If you would be my love, baby I will love you, love you
'Til the end of time

I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

She swayed to the words, not caring that there was no music. She let her shirt drop to the floor and turned to face him when he finished, walking towards him and kissing him. "Thank you" she said softly. He slowly kissed his way down her shoulder and collarbone, and across the skin of her breasts, keeping his kisses feather light. She threw her head back, sighing softly and arching her back, trying to get closer to his kisses. He reached behind her and unclasped her bra, pulling it down her arms and dropping it to the floor. He picked her up and set her in the middle of the bed, pressing his body into hers. She welcomed him with open arms, kissing his forehead and cheeks and finally his lips as his hands began to wander over her body. She gasped and looked down at him. "I thought you were shy" she teased breathlessly and he laughed softly. "Yeah and the fans think I'm a virgin too. Dont believe everything you read. I am shy at first, but once I get to know someone, I warm up quicky" he let his voice go deep and sensual with the last sentence and Gabby shivered violently. He gently tugged the rest of her clothes off and stood and undressed himself. She watched him, sighing as his glorious body was revealed to her hungry gaze. "You are gorgeous" she breathed, wrapping her arms around him as he pressed his now bare body against hers. She moaned softly, loving the feel of his baby soft skin pressed against her body. She ran her hands slowly down his back and pressed her fingers into the muscles of his back, lightly massaging and caressing him. He sighed softly, his eyes closed and a half smile on his face. He opened his eyes and smiled at her, lightly kissing her as she felt him nudging against her most intimate place. She lifted her hips, encouraging him and moaned softly when she felt him slide deep within her. He took up a slow easy pace, his eyes closed as he moved. She arched her hips and moved with him, her body finding his pace easily and matching it. "Dance with me" he gasped, sliding one arm under her and lifting her to meet his now quickening movements. She sighed into the quiet of the room, the only sound being their breathing and the occasional soft moan from them. "Gabby" he groaned softly. "You feel amazing. Wrapped around me like a dream. I feel like I'm floating" his voice broke with emotion as they moved together. He shuddered as she tensed hard around him and bit her lip, calling out his name in her ecstasy. He groaned and pressed his face into her shoulder as he fell over the brink into oblivion. "God I love you Gabriella" he sighed softly. "I love you too Michael" she said softly, kissing the top of his head and wrapping her arms around him as they fell asleep.

Michael's eyes fluttered open in the predawn light and he stretched and sighed contentedly. He pulled Gabby closer to him and nuzzled his nose into her sweet smelling hair. The last few weeks had been the most amazing of his entire life. After their first night together, things had only gotten better. Gabby supported him completely in his work and even came to visit him at the studio, sometimes bringing little Heaven with her, who was getting bigger by the day. He simply adored the little girl, who was looking more and more like her mother everyday. It made him so happy to see her eyes light up when he came near her or picked her up. He sighed softly and Gabby stirred in her sleep and turned over and looked at him with a sleepy smile. He smiled and moved a lock of her hair from her eyes..."Good morning beautiful...How was your night?" he sang softly to her, smiling when she gave a soft, sleepy giggle. "Good Morning yourself Handsome" she said sleepily, cuddling close to him. "Have I told you yet this morning how much I love you?" he whispered into her ear, smiling at the shiver he got in response. "Not yet" she whispered back. "I love you more than life itself." he whispered. She smiled and turned over, pressing her face into his chest. "I love you too Michael. Your my everything" she looked up into his eyes and he kissed her slowly. Sitting up, he pulled her by the hand and led her to the bathroom. "Get dressed baby. I've got a suprise for you today" he said smiling. "A suprise?" she squealed, her eyes lighting up. He nodded. "But you have to get dressed and eat first" he teased, poking her side. "Now go" and he swatted her on the butt. He headed down the stairs and started breakfast, going into the hall closet and checking his pocket to make sure the small box was still hidden there. Just touching it made his heart race, and he bit his lip in excitement. Gabby skipped down the stairs, dressed in a pink baby tee and a white knee length skirt. Her hair was down around her shoulders in loose curls that framed her face. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her...."God your beautiful" he whispered and she smiled. Gabby smiled as the nanny brought Heaven down for breakfast. She reached for her daughter and cuddled her close. "Good Morning my Angel. How is my baby?" she giggled as Heaven babbled at her. She buckled her into her highchair and they settled down to breakfast. Once they were finished, Michael had Gabby take Heaven back up to the nanny and he went to the closet and took out the box he had been hiding in his pocket. He slid it into the pocket of his slacks and took at deep breath. He met Gabby at the foot of the stairs and led her outside. He took a scarf and tied it over her eyes and laid her hands on his shoulders. "Don't let go of me, we're going to be walking a ways" He said softly. "Alright Michael. I trust you" He smiled and began walking. He followed the path through the ranch, walking for almost 30 minutes. He finally stopped and smiled. "Ok we're here" he whispered. He pulled off her blindfold and she gasped. The place he had led her was the top of a hill that looked over the entire valley. She could see the tree's waving in the wind and the grass dappled with sunshine. She closed her eyes and felt the breeze caress her face, and she smelled summertime on the wind. "Oh Michael. Its breathtaking" she breathed. He smiled at her. "This is beautiful. But it is nothing compared to you" he said, smiling at her. He slowly dropped to one knee and took her hand, smiling up into her eyes. "I love you so much. When I met you I could not have imagined what our relationship would evolve into, or how much you could mean to me, although from the second I met you I knew that you were very special. Now I know how very special you really are and I am so in love with you. You've taken me to a place that I couldn't have believed possible. Let's continue this forever, building the perfect life, and growing old together. I'll be your knight in shining armor, there to protect you from all that life can throw at you. Be my wife, and give me the privilege of being your husband, always and forever." She gasped loudly and pressed her hand to her heart, tears spilling out of her eyes and down her cheeks. "Oh...Oh my!" she whispered. He bit his lip, his heart pounding as he waited for her answer. "YES!" she exclaimed and he let out a yell and picked her up, swinging her around and laughing happily. "You have made me the happiest man in the world!" he yelled setting her down and kissing her deeply. "I love you! I love you! I love you" she chanted, sobbing softly into his shoulder as he held the woman he loved.

Gabby walked quickly down the crowded LA streets, a large unsmiling bodyguard on each side. She laughed and nudged Wayne with an elbow. "Oh please! Will you smile? You arent as burly as your trying to make yourself look." He tried to keep a straight face but soon was laughing. "Well I gotta make these people think I will break them if they touch you. Which I will might I add" he said with a grin, grasping her elbow gently and leading her around a staring group of teenagers. "Theres pictures of you out now. If they catch you unguarded you'll get hurt" he said seriously. She smiled excitedly. "Well can you at least smile when we get intp the store? We're shopping for my dress for petes sake!" she squeeled. He laughed. "I'll think about it" he teased. She was so happy. She got along so well with Michael's guards, which was just as well because he insisted they go with her if she left the house. Which made sense because she was Michael Jackson's Fiance, which made her a target. She giggled to herself and whispered..."Michael Jackson's Fiance" and looked down at her engagement ring. They soon walked into the bridal boutique and she spun in the middle of the room, bubbling with happiness. "Why couldnt Michael do this?" Wayne pretended to grumble and she shoved him playfully. "You know its bad luck to see the dress before the wedding" She retorted and he laughed. She spent the next few minutes looking at the different dresses as she waited for the salesclerk. Soon, a tall blonde woman came up and shook her hand smiling. "You must be Gabriella Taylor" She said kindly, and Gabby nodded. "The future Mrs. Michael Jackson. You are one lucky woman." The woman said softly. "So what are you looking for here?" Gabby sighed and looked at the different dresses. "Do I have to pick one or can I just tell you what I want." The woman laughed. "Honey you can do whatever you'd like" Gabby grinned. "Ok heres what I am thinking. Something Cinderella like. You know a big full skirt and everything. Something fitted in the waist, with off the shoulder sleeves." The saleswoman smiled and walked in the back and came out with the perfect dress. Gabby gasped. "THATS IT! Its perfect!" She exclaimed. The woman handed her the dress. "Go try it on. We can have it fitted" Gabby took the dress and walked into the dressing room and slipped into it, gasping happily when it fit like a dream. She came out and looked in the mirror and began to cry. "Its so beautiful" she sobbed. She turned and called into the front of the store. "Wayne! Come here for a minute please?" she asked. The guard came in and smiled. She spun slowly and smiled at him. "Well? What do you think?" He smiled. "Your stunning. Your going to turn Michael into a blubbering idiot in that dress Gabby." She smiled and clapped her hands happily. "This is my dress" She informed everyone and bought it on the spot. She had the saleswoman place it into plastic for her and they returned to the limo. After one more store, where she bought her underthings and stockings and shoes, they returned to neverland. She took her dress and everything and hung them upstairs in one of the spare bedrooms where Michael couldnt find it. She walked into their room and smiled when she found him curled up with Heaven, sleeping peacefully. She watched them for a moment and then gently picked Heaven up and took her to her bed. She came back to find Michael awake and smiling sleepily at her. "Did you find your dress?" he asked, standing and giving her a warm hug and a kiss. "I did!" she answered softly, wrapping her arms around his waist and laying her head on his chest. He smiled. "I have my tux. I called my family. My brothers will be my groomsmen. Janet and Latoya offered to be bridesmaids." Gabby smiled. "I want them, my sister and my best friend Sheila. When do we want to do this? And where?" She asked him. "What about here? In say 3 weeks? That will give everyone plenty of time to get time off work. I'll pay for your family to fly here and everything. We can get a caterer and hold it out in the backyard. Its huge! We can have a lot of people and then have the recepton afterwards." Michael said excitedly. "That sounds perfect Honey" Gabby said happily, hugging him tightly. "I know its short notice but I cant wait. I want you to be mine in every way and this is the last one" he said, looking down into her eyes. "3 weeks" she whispered and he nodded, picking her up and laying her down in the center of the bed and pressing his body into hers. "3 weeks darlin. And then your all mine in every single way" he whispred against her lips and the proceded to make love to his woman.

The next 3 weeks went by quickly between the fittings for her dress and helping the bridesmaids pick out the colors for theirs. She now had 12 hours before she became Mrs. Michael Jackson, and the excitement was kicking in. She stood and looked out the window for the 10th time. She was watching for her family which were due in at anytime. She squealed happly when she saw her brother's grey van pull into the driveway and make its way towards the house. She ran outside, yelling happily.."Mark! Your here!" and throwing herself into his arms as he got out of the van. "Hey sis!" he said warmly, hugging her tightly. "You look amazing!" He told her, and she laughed. "Thank you I feel amazing!" Her eyes filled with tears as her mom got out of the van. "Oh mom!" she sobbed, hugging her tightly. "Gabby! Oh baby I am so happy for you!" her mom said softly. holding her tightly. She smiled and led her family into the house and showed them their rooms. "Michael had these 4 rooms set up for you." she said smiling. "Mom and Jen your dresses are in your rooms. Joe, Mark and Bill Michael will be here with your tux's shortly" They all nodded and went into their rooms to get unpacked. "Mom! Jen! C'mere a minute!" she yelled from the spare room where her dress hung. They walked in and gasped loudly when they saw it. "OH! Gabby! Its gorgeous!" they exclaimed together. "I know! Isn't it perfect???" she gushed, and her mom laughed hugging her gently. "Your glowing. Michael is a good man to make my daughter so happy like this" her mom said softly and Gabby beamed. She heard the door open and grinned when she heard Michael call for her. She ran down the hall and down the stairs, throwing herself into his arms and kissing him repeatedly. "My family is here!" she told him and he smiled, noticing them coming down the stairs. She walked over and grabbed her mom's hand. "Michael...This is my mom. Mom this is Michael" she said with a sweet smile. Michael lightly kissed her hand. "Its a pleasure to finally meet you. I see where Gabby gets her looks from" Gabby laughed as her mom blushed. "Mark, Jen, Joe and Bill This is michael. Michael this is my brothers and sister" She smiled as he hugged her sister and shook hands with each of her brothers. He got a shock when each one of them hugged him. She grinned. "Ok ladies! You all are leaving with me. We have some last minute shopping to do. Boys you are going with Michael" Michael pulled her close, kissed her deeply, and handed her a gold card. "Its yours. I had it made this afternoon" She grinned at him. "You know I dont need this to love you right?" she asked him teasingly. "I know that baby" he said softly, calling over his shoulder. "Wayne! Gabby is leaving!" Wayne walked up and saluted playfully. "I'm here!" Michael smiled at him. "Keep her safe!" He clasped his guard's shoulder. "Always do boss" Wayne assured him. Gabby ushered the girls into the limo and they took off. They wandered into the LA mall and walked into different stores, picking out the things they would wear under their dresses, shoes and jewlery. Gabby bought a special necklace for each bridesmaid while they were there. It was a small globe on a gold chain, and as she placed it around their neck, she smiled fondly at them. "Remember you can heal the world" They soon left the mall and went out for dinner, the night filled with laughter and conversation. Then they returned to the ranch. Her mother ushered her into the spare room "Bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. Oh! I bought you something for your wedding night" She smiled and handed her a white box from Fredricks Of Hollywood. Gabby opened it and gasped. Inside was a sheer white babydoll nightgown and a pair of lacy white boyshorts. "Oh my god Mom! Are you trying to get me in trouble?" she asked softly. Her mom laughed and hugged her. "Get some sleep honey. You got a big day tomorrow. Want me to tell Michael you love him?" she asked. Gabby nodded. "Please?" Her mom nodded and closed the door and walked down the hall to Michael's room. She lightly tapped on the door. "Michael? Gabby says she loves you. She's in the spare room since its bad luck to see the bride" He opened the door and smiled, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you mom. Tell her I love her too and everything is ready for tomorrow" Her mom nodded and went back to relay the message. Gabby hugged her mom goodnight, closed the door and fell back on the bed with a blissful sigh, falling asleep almost instantly.
To be continued
