Jacob was helping Leah clean up after the wedding. The bride and groom were on their way to Hawaii, and the Clearwater place would seem empty without them. Leah looked at Jake and smiled. "Does it bother you that we're step-siblings now?"

To her surprise, he nodded. "I really don't want to introduce you as my sister, Leah. I'd rather say you're my fiancee." He smiled and pulled a ring box out of his pocket, then went down on one knee, taking her hand. "Will you marry me, Leah? I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and making you happy, and I chose to ask you on this special, joyous day." He flipped open the ring box, revealing a simple gold band with an emerald and two small diamonds. He slipped it on her finger, and it fit perfectly.

Leah took both his hands and pulled him up. "Of course I will, Jacob. I love you too." She kissed him softly, then glanced at her left hand. "It's perfect, baby. I love it."

Jacob sat on the couch, pulling Leah onto his lap. "What did you think about your mom's bombshell? My head is still spinning!"

Leah laughed. "I don't think I'm as surprised as they are. It never occurred to either of them to be careful." She shook her head. "Dumb teenagers! And here we are, being so careful - probably for no reason." He noticed that her smile dimmed a little.

"There's still hope, Lee. The council doesn't know everything. Maybe we'll have our own little papoose some day. Or not. Or we can adopt. It won't change how I feel about you. Ever." He kissed her deeply. "Now let's celebrate...everything. I brought champagne. And Seth's on patrol, so we have the house to ourselves for a while."

The plane landed in Honolulu, and the newlyweds went to claim their luggage. As Sue pulled Billy's duffel from the moving belt and set it on his lap, she asked, "When are we supposed to go to Oahu to see Rebecca? We have a couple days here first, right?"

He wrapped his arms around the bag and smiled at her. "Oh yeah. I'm not sharing you with anybody for the next three days."

Their hotel room was sumptuous. Sue stood in the doorway and looked around, her eyes wide. "Crystal chandeliers? Billy - did you take a second mortgage on your house to pay for this?"

He laughed. "I have some savings. And I'm glad you like it." He tossed the luggage on the floor and patted his lap. "Come on - let's look around." She sat on his lap and gave him a lingering kiss before settling in for the tour.

"The bathroom is as big as my living room!" Sue exclaimed with a laugh. "Look - the shower stall has a bench. Perfect." She leered at him and he laughed with her.

Sue pointed to the king size bed and its red satin comforter. "It looks like a bordello," she chuckled. "Perfect for honeymooners." She jumped up and sat on the edge of the bed, bouncing up and down. "I think we should try it out, don't you?"

Billy set the brakes on his wheelchair and, gripping the armrests, he stood. Sue didn't waste any time in tugging off his shirt and pulling his pants down to his feet. They giggled as he took a couple of steps, holding her hands, to the bed with his jeans bunched around his ankles, then laughed some more as he fell onto the bed and finished undressing quickly. Okay, very quickly. In fact, some items of clothing may have been torn in the process. But they were fairly young, very much in love, and extremely horny after all the excitement of the wedding and then endless hours of travel. Their willing bodies came together frantically, energetically, and most of the bedding ended up on the floor. After a fairly explosive conclusion, satisfied and sated for the moment, they lay locked in each other's arms. "I love you so much, Sue," Billy told his bride when he regained his breath. "You make me so happy."

Sue trailed her fingers down his side, causing him to shiver with anticipation. "That was amazing, my darling husband. Now let's try it in slow motion." Her smile was lazy, and she kissed him long and deeply as her hand lingered on his hip, tracing random patterns with her fingertips.

His body reacted immediately to her touch. "Easy there, tiger," Sue suggested with a smile. "Let's make it last this time. We have all day."

Billy took her cue and kissed her slowly, his tongue slipping into her open mouth as his hands continued to encourage her. His lips moved down, between her breasts, and lingered at her flat stomach. "Our baby," he murmured, kissing softly. "Love you, baby." His attention quickly shifted back to his wife, and Sue whimpered softly, her grip tightening on his hair.

After a more leisurely coupling, but equally as satisfying as the first time, they fell into an exhausted tangle of arms and legs and slept. They napped for an hour and woke slowly, stretching and smiling as recent memories replayed in their consciousness. Billy spoke first, before opening his eyes. "My god, Mrs. Black, are you hungry - or is it just me?" He kissed at whatever body part was lying across his chest - it turned out to be an arm.

Sue groaned in response. "Starving!" She sprawled across his chest and kissed him, then whispered, "Can we get room service? That way we don't have to get dressed."

Billy laughed. "Okay, but I'd suggest you put a robe on to answer the door and tip the waiter. I'm way too jealous to let anyone else see you looking this...fetching." He patted her butt playfully.

"It's a deal," she grinned and opened the desk drawer to get a menu. They made their selections, and Billy called in the order. He winked at Sue and hung up the phone. "Apparently we get a complimentary bottle of champagne. Somebody must have tipped them off that we're newlyweds."

"You planning to get me drunk and have your way with me, Mr. Black?"

"Absolutely, Mrs. Black."
