A Million Simple Miracles Legacy Stories

The wedding was everything Caleigh had ever hoped it would be. Travis looked magnificent in his black-and-white suit, and her own dress was simply stunning. Silky soft and white as snow, with a smattering of woven flowers adorning her left hip, the gown was as beautiful as any she could have imagined. The ceremony was simple and brief. With their small friend circle gathered round, the two lovers exchanged rings and vows and then, holding one another tight, kissed to seal their marriage. After the ceremony, the mingling with the guests began. The number of invitees was small, but the crowds quickly swelled as nearby parkgoers dropped in the wish the newlyweds "good luck" in their journey (and to grab some grilled plantains).

At home, Caleigh continued to wear her wedding dress just a little longer after the ceremony. It held such good memories within its fibers, and she was loathe to take it off. In a bright mood from her new status as "wife," she danced to Liberty's stereo until Liberty, who was simply trying to enjoy some peace and quiet while video gaming, kicked her out. Travis was quick to come to her rescue, however, and their flirtatious remarks towards each other soon transitioned to something more intimate. After woohooing for the first time with her husband, Caleigh snuck off to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test. Although she didn't expect much of it, she was elated when the test came up positive. Although the pregnancy came so soon after her marriage, she knew she had to tell Travis. He was just as shocked as she, but happy too. 

No sooner had the words "baby" left her lips than there was a ruckus at the front door. A burglar had taken advantage of the household's happy carelessness to sneak in through the unlocked door. Summer was the first to spot the intruder but fled the house without so much as a called warning. Caleigh, however, was quick to call the police. The officer that arrived attempted to peacefully defuse the burglary, by the burglar was desperate and initiated a fight. Caleigh attempted be nonchalant by scrolling on her phone, but even she, with all her calmness and patience, ultimately couldn't tear herself away from the fight. It was exciting at first, then scary, and she was relieved when the police officer eventually won and arrested the burglar.
