might have to go into the hospital. Her doctor didn’t see a problem pregnancy, so she was hopeful of getting her research project accomplished. David and Jada held their wedding in a private ceremony two months into her pregnancy. She was beginning to show a little bit, but she had no trouble fitting into the white dress she had chosen. Her oldest brother flew into Pittsburgh for the event and David’s parents drove over from Ohio to attend the ceremony which was done by a justice-of-the-peace at a small chapel above the city. They had decided to postpone the big wedding for a later date and agreed it would best for their child to be born before the wedding. David’s mother pulled him aside the day before the wedding after meeting Jada and told him how wonderful she was and apologized for ever doubting his ability to make a decision on the woman he would marry. David told her he understood her apprehension, but Jada was a fine woman from an excellent family and the woman he wanted to be the mother of his children. When he told her that, she gave him her blessing and kissed David, telling him she would be looking forward to any grandchildren they would have. He didn’t tell her one was on the way. It was a small wedding and one of Jada’s dance instructor friends stood in for the mother of the bride. Her brother helped out with the role which would normally go to her father. The entire wedding party didn’t number more than thirty people. David put the matching ring on her finger which he had made the same time as the engagement ring. Pictures were taken which would fly across the internet that evening again. Another announcement from the largest shareholders in a major Internet company. They decided against a honeymoon for the present with Jada’s school work filling up more and more of her time. Plus, they wanted to concentrate on the future and the kind of home for their children. David felt the best thing for them would be to live in a free-standing house. He put his “swinging bachelor pad” condominium up on the market and found a modest house in a good neighborhood still accessible to the city with a decent amount of land around it. He and Jada were very specific in the kind of neighborhood they wanted for their family. She had been raised in the rural part of Mississippi and missed the quietness of the land. She also made sure it wasn’t a lily-white neighborhood and had a decent amount of black people. Jada well knew the stigma of being a minority and didn’t need a police officer to pull her over just because she was driving in the wrong development. Still, David worried about the future. He worried about the kind of country his children would find themselves in every time there was another racial incident flaming across the news. What place would his children have, who would be considered “mixed”. Jada and he talked about it over many nights, wondering what and how to raise their family. She didn’t want a single child and confessed to David after attending a birthing class that her ideal family size was four children. David was so deeply in love with her he would have agreed to twelve. Finally, David decided the time had come to fly down to the Florida Keys and see the pilot plant Dr. Simmons was building. If it was truly as revolutionary as he promised, it might be something they could invest in. If there was a way to make clean power for the future, he wanted to be involved. David had taken his computer software company to places no one had ever expected, was it so hard to believe he could work miracles for the energy industry? And if he was the one to do it, basing everything off what Jada had told him, what a boon it could be for the future. Someone had once told David the limit to a nation’s standard of living was the amount of energy available, but there was no lower limit. He decided to fly to the island of St. Matthew and see for himself what the good doctor was trying
