I couldn’t believe what a jerk I had been, and she wanted to make it special for me to receive the news. Now I need to stop by the flower shop to get her favorite flowers, apologize and tell her what a jerk I was. Ryan took me to the nearest flower shop. You got it sir. We found the flower shop a couple of blocks down from the hotel. I go inside looking for roses since that is her favorite flower. The florist comes up to me, asks me how she can help me? I tell her that I am looking for roses for my wife. Ah, I see, mind if I ask what happened? It is unclear to me why, but I ended up telling her the story of how she shared with me that she was pregnant.

Gabriel, now is not the time for this, besides I am getting married. Can you forgive me please, Maddison? Well, since I am getting ready to plan my second wedding, it would be only right for me to forgive. I don’t want any bad mojo when getting married the second time around. Therefore, I do forgive you. Now, can I have a hug before you go? I am not so sure about hugging you, remember what happened the last time when you tried something with me. Yes, I do, it was because I was drunk and grieving for my unborn child. I know there is no excuse for that either. Alright, you can have a hug, then we hug and right before he lets me go he kisses me. Oh, you certifiable jerk, what is wrong with you as I push him away and slap him. The guards come grab him, then take him back to his cell. However, before they can even open the door, he says to me
