Notes: First of all LOVED all the cute Team McCord moments in 2.04. This is my take on the Falls Lake reference. This chapter is just a little tease. It will get VERY dirty from here on out. This is mine & Adii1201's efforts to write the smut for this episode. She wrote the one about the ear whisper, so I am tasked with Falls Lake.

Also, THANK YOU for all your notes about Madam President. I promise I am working on finishing that too. But I've just been so very busy at that I haven't had much time for writing. I actually have the 1st part of the Epilogue written and the plot line for the second part of the Epilogue. The problem is that darn acceptance speech! If that would come out perfect, I could post the rest of the story. So again, thank you for your patience. I'm just trying to make it good for you guys, and I hope I do you proud.

So in the mean time...here is a tease for some smutty fun!

Falls Lake:

"Thanks for lunch." Elizabeth said as she snuck in a quick kiss with her husband as they left their usual bistro one seemingly ordinary Thursday.

He kissed her back. "Mind if I ride back with you?"

"Of course not." she replied, always happy for a few extra moments with him in between their busy, stressful jobs.

Frank held the door to the SUV open and they slide inside. They held hands and simply enjoyed the quiet, but soon Elizabeth realized they were not heading to the office. "Wait a sec...my office is the other way." she said flustered, eyeing her husband and rolling down the partition.

"Frank! Where are we going? I have a 2:30 meeting with China."

"Dr. McCord, you want to take that one?" Frank asked.

Elizabeth turned to her husband, her eyebrows raised in question.

Henry gripped her hand. She was a difficult woman to surprise, especially these days with her security needing to know details of her activities.. He knew she'd have this reaction, until he told her what he had planned.

"Babe, you're not going back to work today. Nadine is going to take your meeting with China."

"She is?"

"Yes, because you are coming with me for a weekend getaway, just us."

"But-" she began to protest and he silenced her with a gentle kiss.

"You don't need to worry about anything The kids are fine, I packed your suitcase, work will be here when you get back…..Just say, 'thank you Henry, for surprising me;"

She couldn't resist his soft kiss, turning her insides to jello. "Thank you Henry, for surprising me." she repeated in a whisper. "I do still have one question."

Of course she still had a question and he knew exactly what that question was. "Where are we going?" He was right.

"We're going to Falls Lake."

Her lips curved into a smile and she leaned in for another kiss.

"Like your surprise?"

"Yes, I do."

"Good. Because I know it's been tough lately. And our anniversary is coming up and I realized I still haven't made up for the last one. And a few weeks ago you mentioned we could use a weekend away….and Falls Lake came to mind."

***Falls Lake****

After a quick flight in her plane, to save a 5 hour drive, they arrived at their private, secluded cabin in Falls Lake. It was a beautiful place, and a beautiful cabin. It was authentic log cabin, with cozy furniture and a stone fireplace. It also had a nice hot tub outside on the deck, and a decent kitchen. There were activities nearby too, kayaking, hiking, and things that like that. The last time they were here they had intended on part-taking in some of the activities, but they never left the cabin. If you asked Elizabeth she would have said with great certainty that Jason was conceived on that trip.

Upon walking into the cabin, it was mostly how she remembered it. Quaint. Cozy. Romantic. But she did notice one change from the first time. There was a massage bed in the center of the living room.

"Did they change the accommodations here, Henry?"

"That was a special request."

"I see." she said coyly.

"You said you wanted to go someplace with a Chef and a Masseuse." Henry said matter of factly.

"You have such a good memory Professor, but I don't see a Masseuse, or a Chef."

"You're looking at him, Baby." he winked, pointing to himself.

"Mmmm." she sighed and settled into his embrace for a kiss. "Do I need to make an appointment for a massage? I happen to know the services are very good here, so i'd hate for it to be booked." she flirted

"I've got you booked for the entire weekend. But might I suggest you wait until it's dark out? I sort of had a thing planned." Henry said.
