Early the next morning, Stephen and Caylin woke up and started their day. Stephen had arranged for a full day of site-seeing around the island. They had breakfast and headed back to the city of Capri. They caught a boat and went for a tour around the island. They also went for a trip inside the Grotta Azzurra, the blue underwater cave.
"Ste, this is like a tunnel of love or something. It is beautiful."
He pulled her closer into his arms and kissed her "it is beautiful, but not as much as you love."
Caylin smiled shyly and hid her face in his shoulder when the tour guide grinned at her. When they got back to land, they grabbed a picnic lunch and took a chair lift to the top of Mount Solaro, looking over the entire island. They found a place with no other tourists and sat down in the grass. Stephen lay his head in her lap and smiled up at her. "This is perfect Caylie."
"I know. God this place is brilliant." She stroked his hair and kissed his forehead. "Stephen, I just want to say again, thank you for this trip and thank you for marrying me."
Stephen sat up and looked at her "why are ya thanking me for marrying ya love?"
"I am just grateful Ste." She looked away and he noticed the sad expression on her face.
"Caylin, what is the matter?"
"Nothing Ste."
"No, tell me. Ya know ya can tell me whatever is on your mind."
"I don't want to make you feel bad baby."
"Ya won't. Now tell me."
"I just, I am glad we are finally married, for me and for the girls. It was hard explaining why their father wasn't around. I got a lot of looks and snide comments, like I was just some harlot who got pregnant. I could take people's scorn of me, but not of my kids. It wasn't their fault. Even my father treated me like I was a whore. I was so angry for so long at you, and more angry with myself because I still loved you and wanted you back. But you made and honest woman of me and I am grateful…"
"No, don't. Ah love ya, and God knows Ah should have married ya long ago. Ah will regret it for the rest of me life that Ah didn't. Ah wanted to be able to give ya the life ya deserved and didn't want to marry ya until Ah could. Ah am so sorry that ya and the girls had to go through all that. Ah could honestly kill my father for doing this to all of us. And now, that we are gone, he is stalking our daughters. Ah never knew my father was that mental. Ah still can't even believe that he would lie to me like he did and keep me away from my family. Ah will never forgive him, and Ah don't think there is anything he could say to me to make me want to. Ah wish Ah could make it all go away love, to take the pain away from ya and our girls."
"Ste, I don't want you to feel liable anymore. I just want you to know I am happy baby, that's it. You aren't the one responsible, and I don't want you to apologize anymore. I understand why you didn't propose back then, and it is okay. I don't blame you. Not at all. I wish you didn't feel so guilty because I know it caused you pain as well. I don't want to ruin this beautiful memory with talk of him. I want to enjoy being with my wonderful husband." She leaned over to kiss him and he pulled her on top of him.
"Thank ya love. Ah just want to say this and then Ah will shut up. After Ah lost ya, Ah never thought this life was possible for me. Ah let ya slip through my fingers and didn't think Ah would ever find a woman who would love me like ya did : a woman who Ah could build my life around, to have a family with, who would understand me. Especially after signing with WWE, women who would never have given me the time of day, were noticing me. Ah just wanted someone to love me for me, not for what Ah do or how much money Ah make. Just me. Ya have given me more than Ah ever thought Ah would have, and Ah am the one who is grateful. Ah am indebted to ya for marrying me and giving me children, and this new baby that Ah get to watch grow up. Ah am also so thankful that ya understand how much Ah love me job and ya still want to be with me. To be honest, Ah didn't think ya would welcome me back into yer life. When Ah saw ya that day, Ah think my heart stopped. Ya still looked as beautiful as Ah remembered. When Ah looked in yer eyes, Ah knew ya still loved me and Ah could have jumped for joy."
Caylin laughed "yeah I was pretty surprised, especially when you kissed me. I still look at you, amazed that you are my little Stephen. But those big blue eyes, the ones that I could see in my dreams, were the same. You have always been beautiful to me Ste. I am so glad the girls look like you."
Stephen smiled and his cheeks flushed "thank ya Caylie. Ya are the most gorgeous woman Ah have ever seen. We are going to have a dozen more beautiful babies that look like their mum."
Caylin laughed out loud "A dozen? And who is going have all these babies Ste? Because I don't think it will be me!"
Stephen grinned "well, maybe not a dozen then love. A half dozen then."
Caylin giggled "we'll see." She smiled, and kissed him, then traced a path of kisses down his neck. Stephen closed his eyes and moaned, savoring her soft lips against his skin.
"Oh Caylie please love."
"Please what Ste?"
"Ya know what ya are doing to me lass and we can't exactly take care of that right here."
She smiled wickedly "who says we can't?"
Stephen groaned "yer killing me love."
"I want to make love to you, right here. It has been a long time since we have made love in the grass. Do you remember the last time?"
"Of course Ah do. It was incredible. But it was dark. And there was a fence. What if we get caught love?"
"It is getting late Ste, who else would be up here? There is no one around. Please baby? I need to feel you."
Her pleading for him was too much for him. He watched her quickly strip off her clothes and lay back down in the tall grass. He shed his clothes and lay back down beside her. "Ya better pray no one comes by here Caylie. No one besides ya wants to see me naked."
"I wouldn't count on that Ste." She placed her hands around his neck, pulling him down to kiss her. He eased his tongue into her mouth, his lips leaving her breathless. She curled her hand around his manhood and softly stroked him. He moaned quietly into her ear. "Ya want me bad don't ya?"
She smiled cheekily and nodded "I always want you. You feel so good inside me. Don't make me wait, please baby," He wrapped his arm around her and propped her leg on his hip. He gripped his shaft and guided it into her. He thrust deeper, grabbing her ass as he worked his thick cock into her moist depths. Caylin sighed softly while he tenderly made love to her. He kissed her and whispered words of adoration against her skin. She caressed his back, spellbound by their desire. She pushed against him, and he lay down while she climbed on top of him. She rolled her hips and grinded her body against his. He took a firm hold of her hips and began to push up into her hard, causing her to gasp in pleasure. Stephen tossed her onto her back and began to plow into her. She tightened her legs around his waist, his hard pounding shaking her entire body. He soon had her reaching her peak, bringing him to climax as well. They lay there a moment, their bodies recovering from their highs.
"Me love, ya are ravenous. Ya are wearing me out lass" he told her breathlessly. "But Ah am not complaining."
They got dressed and headed back down the mountain. Stephen took her to dinner before they caught a ride back to their villa. Caylin wanted to call and talk to the girls but Stephen reminded her of what time it was there and they were probably out doing something. He told her not to worry because he asked Drew to keep an eye on the girls as well. She agreed and they cuddled up by the fire.
Earlier that day, back in the States, Adele and Ann Marie had packed up the kids and their husbands and drove to pick up the twins. They knew that especially after the events of the previous day, the girls needed something to take their minds off of things. Ana had invited Bennie and Annie to lunch and to visit to keep them occupied while everyone else was gone. The girls were sad that Bennie had to leave because they had gotten close to her. Bennie assures them that she would see them for Christmas and she was excited to have her first holiday with all her grandkids.
Martin had been awake most of the night worrying about how he would be able to get the girls to forgive him and give him a chance to make things right. He thought back to his conversation with Adele and remembered that they were going to the amusement park. He told Susan that he planned to run into them there and see if he could get them alone long enough to get them to listen to him. "Ah think they would listen if no one else is around to influence them. Their view is skewed because of Stephen and Caylin and of course James and Ana. They need to hear our side because they are old enough to understand."
"Martin, Ah don't think they are going to listen to ya. They have made that very clear. And Ah think ya should give them time if ya ever want them to forgive ya too. If ya keep harassing them, they're going to arrest ya or at the very least, hate ya even more. Ya need to just let them be. Maybe one day they will let ya in their lives, but not if ya keep up with this malarkey."
"Ah know what Ah am doing dear. If Ah can just get them to give me five minutes of their time, Ah know they will be able to comprehend why we did what we did."
"Ah think ya are fooling yerself and Ah am not going with ya. They hate me enough as is, just as their mum does. We made a huge blunder and this is our penance Martin. They are justified in their spurning of us."
Martin scoffed and left their hotel room, wanting to have time to follow the girls and catch them alone. Susan shook her head, wondering if he had lost his mind. He trailed them the Wild Adventure theme park and started to shadow their every move. The girls convinced their aunts to ride the Ferris wheel with them and after several more rides, the twins needed to go to the bathroom, so Adele agreed to let them go as long as they stayed together. Martin decided to try and buy them gifts, he thought as a peace offering. He stopped and got them big teddy bears, a purple one for Alli and a pink one for Andi. He wasn't sure what the girls would like, but he figured he was safe with that.
When they came out of the bathrooms, Alli saw him first. "Oh my God, really. Andi, look."
"No way. What are you doing here? You are like some creepy stalker. What is your malfunction?"
"Girls, please, Ah am begging ya. Just five minutes. Come have a soda with me and talk to me. All Ah want is that. Look, Ah bought ya something. Do ya like them?"
"No. We don't want them" Alli told him.
"Yeah, we don't want anything from you" Andi added.
"Please take them. Ah want ya to have them." Martin knelt down and asked "Ah'm am begging ya lasses."
Andi looked at her twin, having second thoughts, knowing both of them really wanted their presents, but Alli shook her head "no. I am not sure what kind of brain damage you have or if you just don't speak English, but we don't want to spend even five seconds with you. You hurt us, our mama and our daddy. Why don't you get that?"
Alli grabbed her phone and called James. Andi sent Stu and Drew both a text message telling them that Martin was at the park.
"Papa, you will totally not believe this but Martin is like here right now."
Martin couldn't hear what James was saying but he did make out that he was yelling. "Okay, girls, Ah will go. Just please, take these, Ah want ya to have them."
"Alright, but I want the pink one" Andi stated.
"That's fine lass. Ah will leave now. Ya have me number, Ah hope that one day ya will give me a chance."
Alli took her bear too and hastily said 'thank you' before turning away. A few minutes later, Adele came running up to them because she didn't know why they had been gone so long. "Girls, there ya are. Ya scared me. Where did ya get those?"
"Martin showed up again" Andi told her.
"He what? Saints preserve us. He is mental. Yer father really isn't going to like that at all."
Drew and Stu both got the message and walked out of their doors at the same time. "We have to put a stop to this mate. These girls have been through enough, more than they should ever have had to deal with. I can't believe Ste's dad" Stu said.
"I know mate, we're going to have to go have a man to man with him. Let's go."
James called Alli again and she told him that Martin did leave so he didn't have to come. He was already in his car so he decided to pay his old friend a visit himself.
Alli didn't realize that Andi had texted their dad's friends. Drew called the girls from the parking lot and Andi told her aunt she was going to get the guys to take them home. "Love, ya don't have to go, stay here with us or we will leave and take ya home."
"No, it's okay Aunt Adele, you and the kids stay and have fun. You are on vacation. You and Aunt Ann Marie have spent all this time with us, but our cousins should have some fun. We will see you before you leave, right Alli."
"Right. We just want to go home. I want to call Mama and Daddy."
"Me too."
"Okay. Call me later." She hugged them both "love ya girls."
"Love you too" they both replied before making their way to the front gate. When they made it out, Drew and Stu were waiting for them.
"Thanks for coming guys" Alli remarked.
"You're welcome love" Drew responded, pulling them both in for a hug.
"Will you take us home Drew?" Andi asked.
"Of course. I am sorry that your grandfather can't seem to get the message. We will talk to him for you."
"That would be great if you could do that. He is acting totally weird" Andi told them.
They drove back to the Ryan's house and Stu and Drew walked them up to the house. "Sorry we can't stay girls but we are going to pay Martin a visit" Stu explained.
Andi smiled up at him "it's okay, we understand. Thanks." She glanced at Alli and she shook her head, knowing what her sister was thinking. 'Please don't do it Sis.'
Andi reached up to hug Stu and instead, planted a kiss on his lips. She blushed and hurriedly ran into the house. Alli turned beet red as well and said a quick goodbye. Stu stood there with his mouth agape. "Why did she do that?"
Drew was in shock as well. "I don't know but this could be a real problem mate. I think you had better talk to her, and soon. I don't see her telling her father, but Ste wouldn't be amused I am sure."
