He woke early the next morning, alone in the big bed, and frowned. He really hated waking up alone, so he went in search of Chris. She was standing out of the balcony, dressed only in his button down shirt from the wedding, staring out at the horizon where the sun was just starting to peek over the mountains. Grabbing the comforter from the bed, he walked out and wrapped his arms and the blanket around them both, holding her close. She sighed heavily and leaned back against his chest and he pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder. The sunrise cast a golden pinkish glow over them as they stood in silence for a few minutes.

"It's beautiful here." She murmured, almost afraid to break the spell around them. He held her tighter, feeling the tension in her body, and pressed more kisses to her chilled skin.

"What are they saying now?" he asked and she smiled to herself. He knew her too well sometimes. "Come on, love, don't fight them alone. I'm here. Talk to me."

"It's just all so perfect. It's too perfect." She finally said and he nodded understandingly.

"They're right, it can't last forever." He said and she swallowed hard at the cold truth. "Chris, you know as well as I do that bad things happen to people, and we are certainly no exception. But, no matter what, whatever happens, we will make it through it because we are together." Turning in his arms, she buried herself in his warm embrace. He just held her tightly, being strong for her once again. It was a job he never wanted to give up.

"How long can we stay here? I don't ever want to leave." She said and he grinned happily.

"We can stay forever, my love. It's our own little piece of heaven." He answered and she looked up at him in confusion. "It's ours, Chris. It's my wedding gift to you." He explained and her jaw dropped.

"You…you bought it?!" she gasped and he nodded, pleased at her response. "Oh my god, Robert! Oh god, thank you!" she cried, kissing him hard. "This is wonderful! I love it!"

"I'm glad because we are going to be here as often as we can. It will be out escape from everyone and everything. Nothing can hurt us here." He said and she didn't even notice the tears falling down her face. He kissed them away gently and she caught his lips with her. It was her turn to show her love for him.

Walking them back into the bedroom, she grinned as his legs hit the side of the bed and she gently pushed him down on it. He scooted back to give her room and she crawled up his body, straddling him Their lips met heatedly, with none of the hesitancy of the night before, and she rubbed herself against his growing erection. Robert's fingers deftly popped the buttons of the shirt she was wearing, hands immediately moving to cup her breasts, and she grinded against him in appreciation.

"Do you want to know what my gift is to you?" she asked against his lips as she positioned him at her entrance. His eyes closed as she took him within her, mouth too dry to answer her, so he just nodded. As she seated herself fully on him, gasping as he filled her so completely, she bent down and whispered in his ear. "I'm pregnant."

"What?!" he gasped, eyes snapping open and she sat up with a grin. "Pregnant?"

"A month ago, when I was sick. The antibiotics cancelled out my birth control." She explained and he blinked in surprise. Looking from her smiling eyes to her lower stomach, he felt his heart pound wildly. A baby…they were going to have a baby. Oh god, how was it possible to love someone so much? His hand moved to rest on her still flat belly as she began to rock slowly on him. Bending, she kissed him tenderly and his arms went around her, deepening the kiss in gratitude. They moved together, without hurry but without teasing, towards mutual climaxes and as their bodies tensed they cried out joyously together. Calming slowly, he rolled them over and shifted down to kiss her stomach softly.

"You are truly an amazing woman and you have just made me the happiest man on the planet. I cannot wait to have this beautiful little baby with you." He murmured against her skin, and then moved back up to her lips.

"It's going to be perfect." She whispered and he could only agree. Everything was perfect.
