DISCLAIMER
Title: Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
Characters: Stephen Drew, Laura Drew
Rating: G
Word Count: 159
Summary: Ring shopping, self-explanitory.
"You can pick out whatever you want."
"You're serious?" Laura asks, looking around at the expansive collection of jewelry in the store. This wasn’t particularly romantic. Stephen had asked for her hand the night before, producing a an imitation ring and promising to take her ring shopping the next day. “You know I’m not good at those kinds of things,” he had told her. Some women might have had problems with the lack of effort, but not Laura. She found it to be endearing, and she wasn’t especially into the whole romance thing anyway.
She perused the rings, trying to find “that special one.” Finally she saw it. A simple, marquise-cut diamond that was about as cliché as a wedding ring could get.
“That’s the one,” she told Stephen. He looked at her in surprise.
“Don’t you want something more… elaborate?” he asked her.
“No,” Laura said. “It makes think of you.”
“Why?”
“Because it looks like a baseball diamond.”
Title: Here Come's The Bride
Characters: Stephen Drew, Laura Drew
Rating: G
Word Count: 132
Summary: It's all about the bride.
She was absolutely beautiful.
In following tradition, this was the first time he was seeing her in her wedding dress. Of course he would have thought Laura looked beautiful in anything, but she looked almost ethereal in her perfectly white dress. The delicate look was such a contrast from the toughness that she usually displayed. Stephen gulped as a sudden rush of nerves hit him. This wasn’t as bad as playing on the field with thousands of eyes watching your every move. This was much, much worse.
Could this woman really be his? How could he, a normal boy from a small Georgia town, be so lucky?
Before God and his family, he pledged his life to her. And as she said “I do,” Stephen smiled the biggest grin of his life.
Title: Bereavement
Characters: Stephen Drew
Rating: G
Word Count: 144
Summary: Stephen attends his grandmother's funeral.
It was Stephen's turn. His last chance to see his grandmother in the flesh. He cautiously approached the coffin in the front of the small church. As he made it to his destination, he closed his eyes in agony. It wasn't fair! Stephen and his grandmother had been so close. She was more like a friend to him than just an old relative. And now she was gone, just like that.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked down on her, paying his last respects.
“This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.”
Stephen quoted the bible verse as tears stung his eyes. He had to remind himself that this was God’s will. His grandmother was now in eternal peace.
