Eight months pregnant, Gabby expected to enjoy her sister Tara’s lavish wedding as a guest. Instead, Tara announced she’d be offering “complimentary luxury transportation” for all her guests — courtesy of Gabby’s husband’s company. Without asking, she decided Gabby would also serve as a driver, reasoning that her pregnancy made her the perfect “sober” choice. Shocked and exhausted, Gabby knew she had to set a boundary.
On the wedding day, Timothy’s company sent drivers and cars, but neither Gabby nor her husband agreed to provide the service for free. Each guest who requested a ride was treated professionally — and charged the standard fee. As the night went on, Tara was bombarded with complaints, ruining her carefully curated image. When she confronted Gabby, she learned the truth: the service was handled like any other business job.
Tara was furious, accusing Gabby of embarrassing her. But Gabby stood firm, pointing out that her sister had made promises without asking. The tension lingered, and Tara vowed never to forgive her. For Gabby, the confrontation marked a turning point — she realized she no longer had to orbit around her sister’s demands.
In the weeks before her baby’s arrival, Gabby felt lighter, relieved to have drawn a line. She understood now that love didn’t mean sacrificing her well-being for someone else’s image. With motherhood ahead, she knew her focus had to be on protecting her new family, not catering to entitled expectations.
