Chapter 1

It had been almost a year since the sentencing of Drew's family and things were going really well for him lately. His body was healthy again and though his kidney was permanently damaged it didn't prohibit him from doing anything that he wanted in his everyday life. He was still enlisted, just like Rick, but neither of them could be deployed again due to their disabilities though both were serving in their areas of expertise state side.

The Center had quickly become one of the most talked about, top rated veteran's facilities in the country. It was noted for not only its intensive counseling but its work with physically disabled vets and their families. It was important to them to also include the families in the recovery of the soldiers and through business contacts of his uncle's they were able to work as a non-prophet organization so everyone qualified for assistance. Drew hated the fact that he felt like the money from his mom's family was almost blood money but he was satisfied it was going to good use.

The hospital was a great place to work again. The nurses had solved their union issues thanks to Molly and now everyone was happy. Kenny was still head nurse and he and Drew worked seamlessly together both as bosses and in the ER itself. Paul decided that he wanted to be a pediatric surgeon so he was still at the hospital just not full time in the ER. Krista was still an ER doctor.

Rick loved his job training SWAT teams and still went with them on occasional calls when he was needed but his reputation as the best was out there now and not only were SWAT teams coming to him but he was training FBI, CIA and ATF teams as well. He also helped set them up with other vets who could help them in other situations. He also worked at The Center helping other amputees see that life wasn't over due to the loss of a limb.

Drew walked into the now familiar office at the SWAT school. "Hey Mary," smiling at Rick's secretary, "is he busy?"

"No, we were just getting ready to leave," she smiled at him. "Go on in."

"Have a goodnight!" he told her before entering the office.

Rick looked up from his paperwork and smiled. "Hey babe what are you doing here?"

"Was hoping I could talk my husband in to going out to dinner," he sat down across from him.

"Mmm sounds great actually, I'm starving. We were so busy today I skipped lunch." He finished filling out the paper in front of him then tossed the pen down on the desk and turned the lamp off. "What did you have in mind?" he asked as they walked to the truck.

"Steak," he laughed. "I'm a growing boy and I'm craving red meat."

"Growing huh?" he smirked as he hopped in the passenger side.

"Well parts of me," he teased getting behind the wheel.

Their favorite steak place was just a few minutes down the road. They were quickly seated and ordered their dinner and drinks. Sipping their beer they talked about their days. "Zack came by the Center today."

"Yeah? How is he?" Rick asked.

"Great. I can't believe he's stuck with this volunteer thing for a year now. We need to work out something to reward him somehow. All the vets love him and he's got such a great attitude around them."

"Any ideas on what we could do?"

"Well for one we need to give him an official title instead of just volunteer I think and we should start paying him."

He nodded and thanked the waitress as she delivered their food. "That sounds great but it also sounds like you have more in mind," he chuckled.

"You know me too well," he said around a mouth full of steak. "I just don't know what it is."

"Maybe we can talk to some of the vets he works with at the Center and see if they have any ideas?"

"That's an amazing idea! I'm glad I thought of it!"

"What?" he threw a piece of roll at his husband and glared at him. "Jerk."

"Yes," he laughed happily, "but you love me."

He shook his head but couldn't hide his smile, "Yes, yes I do."

"Let's take a vacation."

Rick looked up at him, "yeah?"

"Yeah," he nodded. "I'm thinking private beach with a small house, jet skis maybe even a boat?"

He nearly chokes on the last of his beer, "that sounds expensive, perfect but expensive."

"Glad to hear you say that because," he took some brochures and two round trip plane tickets and handed them to Rick, "I thought it was time I gave you a proper honeymoon."

He looked at the pictures and was blown away then noticed the date on the tickets. "These are for tomorrow! Honey I have to give notice for time off at work and we have to find someone to keep Jake and,"

"Shhh," he reached across the table and took his hand. "It's already taken care of. I have been planning this for a while now. I explained what I wanted to do to Mr. Franks one day when he dropped Zach off at the hospital and he took care of the paper work so I could surprise you. Topher, well Lynn is going to watch Jake at their house. He said it would be a great job for her and he can make sure she does it right. I have our bags packed and all you have to do is say yes."

He had the best husband in the world. "Yes, definitely yes!"
