Sam stretched languidly, her back pressed down into the nice, warm sand. Waves crashed on the beach in front her, and she lie on the beach, shaded by a large palm tree. It was such a beautiful day, hardly a cloud in the sky, Sam marveled. She'd dozed off for a little while, and yawned lazily as she rolled over. Eduardo was lying on the sand next to her, having dozed off himself, still holding one of her hands in his. She giggled as she poked his cheek with her finger, but still he didn't stir. Gently removing her hand from him, she decided that she'd take a quick swim in the water. She stretched again as she stood, and made her way down to the clear blue water before her.

It had been quite some time since the Sirius's encounter with Daniel, and so much had happened since then. Daniel was tried for his crimes, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Most of his friends received the same punishment. Leonardo had once again thanked the Sirius pirates for stopping Daniel, and had even sent them a small reward for their deeds.

The Sirius had gone on a well deserved vacation, and they all had a blast. They'd gone to some island that Sam couldn't remember the name of to save her life. They'd spent at least a few days there lounging about, that much she did remember. Morgan had spent most of his time drinking rum on the beach, and would drunkenly run into the ocean at random moments, splashing about. Thomas and Russell built a lot of sand castles, practically littering the beach with them. Nathan had spent most of his time there fishing, as he wanted to stock up on seafood for the ship. He tried to teach Sam how to fish at one point, but she just truly wasn't cut out for it. More to the point, she just got so frustrated with it that she'd given up.

Eduardo spent some time showing Sam how to properly fight with a sword. They dueled with one another, shuffling about in the sand. Sam remembered how much fun she'd had, laughing with Eduardo as they'd kick sand at one another. They'd spent some of their time together walking along the beach, talking, and teasing each other. Sam felt almost like they were a bunch of love-struck teenagers, how they acted with one another. Not that she'd minded much, it was a nice change of pace for the two of them. While they were there, Eduardo had proposed to Sam. She couldn't help but giggle now as she remembered how flustered he'd been when he'd asked. As he'd got down on one knee, he'd dropped the ring in the sand, and flustered about to retrieve it, trying not to let her see it. It had been just very un-Eduardo like that it made her smile. So of course she'd said yes.

As they were still out at sea at the time, they'd decided to have a small ceremony on board. Eduardo had suggested that they could wait until they ported somewhere and they could have a large, elaborate ceremony. But Sam hadn't wanted to wait that long. She'd never really wanted a big wedding, or the big poufy dress, as most girls would. All that had mattered to her was the man she loved being there, and just her closest friends, the other members of the crew. They were married on the Sirius in front of all of their friends, and it was the happiest day of Sam's life. Nathan had surprised them and had prepared an elaborate wedding cake for them to celebrate. It wasn't too large, but large enough to take several days for the crew to finish off.

Not long after they'd returned back to the Sirius, Morgan had led them on yet another treasure hunt on some uncharted island. He claimed that they needed to stock up on their funds once again, as they'd spent a good amount of it on their previous vacation. It was a rather quick mission, an in and out kind of job. Navigating through the dense forests had proven to be a challenge in and of itself, but Thomas had managed to lead their way through it. It had taken them several days to reach their destination, but they eventually managed to find the treasure. It wasn't a whole lot, but it was enough to sufficiently last them for a while until they could come across another one.

As they hadn't had a proper honeymoon, Morgan had insisted after their treasure hunt, that she and Eduardo take a few days to themselves. They'd dropped them off at this one island known for its luxury honeymoon location, and said that they'd sail around the island and would come back to pick them up in 3 days time. That had been two days ago, and Molly now dove down into the cool water. Coming back up for air, she brushed back the wet hair from her face. She and Eduardo had been having a nice time together, and were extremely glad to finally have their alone time together. But the ship would be coming back to get them in the morning, and Sam felt slightly disappointed that her alone time with Eduardo was starting to come to an end. She looked down admiringly at the wedding ring on her ring finger. It was small but beautiful, and Sam couldn't help but stare at it from time to time. She was just so happy to finally be married to Eduardo, that she couldn't help but admire it every now and again.

She turned as she heard a splashing sound coming up from behind her, and smiled as Eduardo waded through the water towards her. She giggled as he made a move to grab her, but she danced her way out of his grasp. She dove back underneath the depths of the water and swam away. Coming back up for air once again, Eduardo caught up with her and grabbed her around her waist, hoisting her up and over his shoulder.

"And where do you think you're going?" Eduardo teased, making his way toward shallower water. Eduardo looked over his shoulder at her and smiled wickedly at her, the corner of his lips curling. As Sam was about to ask him what he was up to, he suddenly tossed her over his shoulder again, throwing her back into the ocean. She quickly held her breath as she was instantly submerged. As she came to the surface, sputtering and staring at Eduardo in astonishment, he laughed. She smiled as she continued to stare at him, wiping the water from her face. Eduardo shrugged his shoulder and turned as if to leave. She took her hand and splashed some water at him and the two commenced with a splashing battle.

Sam giggled as she waded over to Eduardo, continuing to splash him. When she got close enough, Eduardo stopped splashing her, and grabbed her by her waist. He pulled her up against his chest and wrapped his arms around her, pressing her lower body against his. She smiled up at him and threw her arms around his neck.

"I hate that we have to go back tomorrow." She complained.

"Yeah, I was just beginning to enjoy myself here. But the crew need us." Eduardo replied, his hands tracing lines on her lower back.

Sam pouted. "Do they need us back so quickly though?"

Eduardo grinned, his voice lowering an octave as he spoke. "Well, we have tonight at least, so I suggest we enjoy it." Sam's body tingled at the thought as Eduardo pressed his lips against hers, bringing a hand up to rub her breast.

She pulled back slightly, smiling. "Shouldn't you save that for the bedroom?"

Eduardo smiled mischievously down at her. "Don't think I can wait until then." His lips came down and devoured hers as they sank down into the ocean, wrapping their bodies into each other's.
