She couldn't wait for that evening, it wasn't their first anniversary, it was their fifth, but it was still as exciting. Their FIFTH, she couldn't believe they'd been married for 5 years now, together for a little over 7!

Who would have thought that they would have really happened, really fallen in love, really lasted? In the beginning she couldn't believe it herself, she knew he couldn't, and she knew all the people around them didn't. Most people thought it was a joke, one of her schemes, or some sort of rebound thing for one of them or maybe even both of them. No one trusted her with his heart, not even herself.

She had fallen hard for him, harder then she had for any other guy, she knew it was for real, it had to be.

He had fallen just as hard for her. Much to his dismay he had been a little more obvious. He knew she had caught him staring at her, daydreaming about her, about a life they could share together.

Then one night they both gave in, her making the first move. He wished it had been him, god how he wished it had been him, but he was grateful it wasn't. He had been too scared to tell her how he felt. What if she didn't feel the same way, what if she laughed at him, what if it ruined their newly formed friendship?

That was all just over 7 years ago, now they were married with a family; a son and a daughter, twins to be exact, and another one on the way. She owned a fabulous boutique that specialized in items that would keep an expecting mother pampered and happy, and a few things that might please daddy to be too. He was the Head of Surveillance & Security at the Metro Court Hotel and Casino, it had been open for about four years now, and he'd been with it from the ground up. They were blissfully happy at this moment, but it hadn't always been that way, and she was sure it wouldn't always be that way.

Right now they were focused on the present, yes they remembered the past it was their anniversary, and were hopeful about the future, but they were definitely focused on the present. They had to be, it was one of the only chances they had to spend time alone together, what with their jobs, the twins, and the fact that she was due in a little over a month. So they would celebrate their anniversary alone, no work, no kids, just them.


okay, so this is my first fanfiction, this chapter is more of an intro. it will move from flashbacks to this anniversary, and maybe past the anniversary. i would appreciate the feedback.
