Chapter 86 - TORREN AND SHAWNEY HOMECOMING

It was half six and Joseph became very concern when they didn't come down stairs, Joseph was wondering, 'If they were having a problem with the dress?'

Then Joseph heard them speaking, turning around to look at them, he was speechless for a moment. Thinking, 'She looks like a perfect bride.' "You two wait right there," Joseph said.

Taking a picture, the cream and silver gown look magnificent just like a wedding dress. And Torren never look better, he looks like a young prince.

I am amazed at the missive change in his behavior and appearance since his marriage to Shawney. If all patient could have a breakthrough like him, then my work load will be so much easier.

Mr. Mac Carty sure have a good eyes to see her beauty and her worth, he was right, just as he had chooses the perfect dress for the occasion, he had also chosen the perfect bride for Torren, they look perfect together.

Admiring the way she was looking up to him, and his hand was around her waist, Joseph send the picture to Aunty Paula's phone.

Hearing Torren asking, "Now Doc, tell me where is this function we will be attending?"

"That's a secret buddy, but I will tell you this, he is a good friend of mind." When Torren realized Joseph was taking him home it clicks his mind, 'Dad, had concocted this plan, for our homecoming.

That was what he was working out in his mind when we were waiting at the airport in Chicago.

Holding her hand gently stroking it, "Honey, I was going to tell you something the night for your birthday," seeing him pause.

"Yes, go on," but Shawney see his hesitation, "Torren what is it?"

"Honey, you asked me to keep a secret but I falter."

"It's alright, I am sure you had a good reason, so what is it?"

"You know I love you very much, right?"

"Yes, so what promise have you broken?"

"Honey, right before I leave home to come to you, I told my family that we are married, I hope you are not angry?"

"I am sorry I restrained you and dad, because of it you were put in a difficult position."

"Thank you for understanding, and from now on I believe the family will show you respect being the Mistress in my house.

Now my love you had stopped me once from officially placing this ring on your finger. Now before you meet my family as my wife, will you do me the honors of wearing it?"

Seeing she extended her left hand as Torren slips the ring into her finger. Admiring the ring how it fits perfectly in her finger.

Recalling Torren words as it ponders in her mind, 'Why, didn't dad give Torren it for Dalia?

He likes Careen and Lasandra a lot, and he loves Torren and his children. When he spoke to me about Dalia the impression I got is he liked her, so why didn't he give Torren the ring, there must be a reason?'

As the thought linger on her mind, 'Is it that he had disapproved of Torren's marriage to Dalia?'

Looking at him he seems lost in thought, 'Is he worried about the way Jeff and Candis used to behave with Dalia, and they might do the same to me?'

Stroking his hand smiling up at him then lean her head on his shoulder, trying to reassure him that all will be well.

Whispering a silent prayer, 'Oh God my Father, if you can give me a miracle with my family, I am sure You can work a miracle in his family.

I will keep praying for them but in the meanwhile, I will ignore their misbehaving, and please Lord do something about Travis, he gives me the creeps.

I hope you know Father I cannot go on the road again to minister your word, but please bless me so I will be a blessing in the hospital.

I will need You Lord, to send those that need your help, and allow them to come my way so we could cross path. You know my heart and the way I love doing your work.'

When Joseph said, "Okay, you two we are here, looking out Shawney realized that Joseph had brought them home. Wondering, 'What dad was up to?'

Torren seeing the entrance was clear so the car could drive straight up, his family and some invited guest awaits us.

Holding her hand whispering to her, "I love you and welcome to your new home."

"Torren, did you know anything about this gathering?"

"No, my love, but when I see Joseph heading this direction, I had suspected that dad must have planned this homecoming party to welcome you into the family"

"How do I look?"

"You, my love look very beautiful, even more than that Valentine's day when I saw you, did you know I was speechless.

For my dinner, I had planned to propose to you, and I never get an opportunity, but you were the most beautiful, eye-catching person at my dinner.

Then when you had all that desert on you and I got you that dress, I was once more speechless because you were even more beautiful.

When you step out of your room and came downstairs, it took courage to bear all that pain and embarrassment and still press forward.

But tonight my love, you are glowing, and you look radiant and I am proud to declare to the world and everyone here that you are my wife."

"Thank you, Torren, I want you to know, I will never put you in the midst to choose like you had to do with Dalia.

I promise to help you always and to keep your head held high, and though matter what we face, we will face it together, I love you and Torren I will not give anyone the opportunity to get in between."

Joseph listened to Torren and Shawney as they encourage each other, just as when a couple is repeating their vow on their wedding day.

'I only hope I could find someone who will love me as much as Shawney love Torren.

I now understand when someone loves a person, what sacrifice they are willing to make to ensure they are happy.'

Hearing Torren whisper, "Thank you."
