I am going to try and update this story more often. I realized just how many of you read it. This is my most popular story so I should finish it, right? I have an outline for a few chapters ahead so I will get to writing immediately. Also, I have an announcement at the bottom after the chapter.

I couldn't sleep tonight.

Not that Eduardo's arms were comfy and warm; they were very comfy and warm.

I've been awake for a few hours, thinking about little things here and there, nothing too important. When I think of things that are important, I like to be alone.

Realizing that alone is where I want to be right now, I slowly wiggle my way out of Eduardo's arms, leaving a pillow in place. Unlike every book I ever read, he didn't come close to almost waking up.

I put on a long jacket over my pajamas and made my way through the ship.

The ship was quiet and eerie at night. Everyone loves their sleep. Not enough the floorboards, which creaked when I make steps, woke them. Tonight wouldn't be a very good time for the Rika to attack, especially when everyone was dead tired.

I eventually made my way to the deck and the stars above it. They were dim tonight, almost like they were somber and someone had bullied them into putting their lights out. Wow, where did I come up with these ideas?

I made my way to the tip of the deck and sat down.

It's been a week since Eduardo had called me his wife, and I never pointed it out to him. I wanted to think about it. Could it mean anything? Could it mean that we were going to be married sometime soon?

Who knows? I sighed and put my head in my hand, which was propped up against the smooth wood of the railing.

If we got married, could we have children?

I pictured myself holding a little girl, with a couple rings on my finger, both intricate, one with a jewel on it. Eduardo was sitting next to me, holding a little boy, slightly younger than the girl. He looked happy and loving.

I snapped out of the dream and thought more of reality. Would we even be together long enough for that to happen?

I smiled. Of course we were. No one was going to stop me from being with him as long as I live. He'd have to shoot me before I left his side.

After a little while of thinking what our children would look like, I decided to go back down to our room. It was getting light out and I wanted to get some sleep before I had to wake up. I slowly made my back to the bedroom, taking care as to not wake anyone.

I arrived in the bedroom and quietly turned around to close the bedroom door. I walked to the corner and dropped my jacket on the floor, knowing I would pick it up later.

I turned to get into bed to find that Eduardo was lying there awake. He smiled.

"The bed got cold without you" he said.

I climbed into bed and fell into his arms and into a blissful sleep.

This is more of a filler chapter. Sorry about that. I have plans for the next chapter and I plan to have it up in a couple of days. Lately, I've been reading fanfiction more than writing it. I haven't had motivation for me to write lately. But I have it now! I can't wait to keep my stories going and update what I can. I hope that I will have more stories up soon.

I am currently looking for a beta reader for this story! Anyone that would like to give it a shot can just PM me.

If you have a tumblr, that would be awesome, as that is a good way to reach me.

Thanks for reading!
