"Come on, Travis. Get up."
"No. I refuse to get out of this bed."
"Come on. It's Christmas."
"Fine. I'll get up. For a price, though."
"Uh-oh. I knew there'd be a catch." Maddie said. She leaned over him and kissed him. "Now will you get up?"
"Maybe." Maddie gave him an evil look. "Alright." Travis said, sitting up. He stood up and stretched. He groaned in exhaustion. He put on a raggedy pair of jeans, not caring because it was a holiday, a wife beater, and a jean jacket.
"That's what you're wearing?" Maddie asked.
"What? It's a holiday." he said. Maddie scoffed.
"Come on. Everyone's probably at your mom's." Maddie took him by the hand and dragged him out the suite. They walked to Carey's suite to be greeted by Carey, Angie, Corrie, Zack, Cody, Max, Zack, and Rebecca.
"Hey guys."
"Hey. How're the newlyweds?" Angie said, playfully.
"We're good." Maddie answered. She sat down on the couch with Angie and Carey, while Travis sat on the floor to play Monopoly.
"Hey, we're here." said Darryl, as he and Mary Margaret walked in.
"Ooh. And the newly engaged are also here." Maddie said.
"Morning." Mary Margaret greeted.
"Now all we need is-" Maddie began.
"Merry Christmas all." shouted London as she walked in with Todd.
"Well, what d'you know?"
"Let's open gifts now, please." Zack begged.
"You know, you haven't changed a bit." Travis said.
"Really." Zack said, looking toward Maddie.
"A'ight. You've changed a little bit." Travis said.
"So, do you two have gifts for each other?" Angie asked Travis and Maddie.
"We decided not to give each other gifts. I mean after getting married, the bracelet, the ring-" Maddie began.
"Maddie." Travis said, referring to her as a gift.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Maddie nudged him.
"Uh, anyway, family dinner tonight."
"Yeah, my parents are coming. You guys are invited, too." Maddie said, referring to their friends.
"So, Codester. You willing to help me cook?"
"Yeah." Cody said, giving Travis a high five.
"Where is it going to be?" Mary Margaret asked.
"I rented out the restaurant." Travis said.
"Which one?" Darryl asked.
"The one where me, you, Maddie, and Angie got caught."
"When you say 'got caught' you mean that forbidden date you went on?" Travis nodded. "This should bring back old memories."
"That's what I thought. Cody, we'll be using the hotel kitchen."
"Great, more old memories." Carey said.
"I know." Maddie said.
---------------------------------
Everyone sat down at the table, laughing and talking.
"So, Travis, have you guys decided where you're going to live?" Mrs. Fitzpatrick asked.
"Um, no. But we do have a few places in mind."
"We'll probably just live in the moment. Just go from house to house." Maddie said.
"Well, that won't be good for the children." Mrs. Fitzpatrick said.
"Children?" Travis said, almost choking.
"Yes."
"Don't you want children?" Maddie asked, looking at her husband.
"Of course. But we don't even know where we're gonna live. I just thought we'd think about it in a year or two."
"Well, you better decide, quick." Zack said.
"Yeah, it'd be nice to have some grandchildren around." Carey said. Maddie and Travis caught each other's eye and went back to eating.
"So, where's the honeymoon?" Mr. Fitzpatrick asked.
"Paris." Maddie and Travis said at the same time. They laughed.
"What's so funny?" Corrie asked.
"Well, we said when we were seventeen, if we ever got married; we'd go to Paris for our honeymoon." Maddie said.
"Aww, so you're keeping your promise?" Mary Margaret asked.
"Yup." Travis said.
"And when we get back, we'll help you two plan your wedding." Maddie said.
"Thank you, Maddie." Mary Margaret said.
"No problem."
--------------------------------
Travis plopped onto the bed and sighed.
"Aww, what's wrong, baby?" Maddie said, putting away her jacket. She sat next to him.
"I'm exhausted."
"Anyway I can… wake you up?"
"No." Travis said, closing his eyes.
"Really?" Maddie kissed a trail down his neck, slowly.
"Really." Maddie continued.
"Are you sure?"
"This isn't working."
"Really? 'Cause I thought it was breaking your resolve."
"Nope." Travis giving her a ravaging kiss.
