I own none of the characters. They are owned by ABC.
The shrill ringing of the telephone woke Eddie and Janet up out of a dead sleep.
"What the hell?" groaned Eddie and Janet just groaned and threw the blanket over her head. Eddie untangled himself from Janet and reached over picked up the phone.
"What?" He grumbled into the phone
"Eddie, it's the first day of vacation. It's time for breakfast at the buffet." An excited Sam said.
"Sam, what time is it?"
"7:30."
"7:30?" Janet giggled from under the covers. " Samuel, the point of vacation is to sleep in and take things slow."
"I know, but I am too excited too sleep. Come on, get up." Sam begged
"Are your parents up yet?" He asked yawning
"Kinda."
"Kinda?" Sam didn't respond. "All right, we'll meet you in an hour." Eddie hung up the phone and rolled over on top of Janet.
"Morning pretty girl." He said as he leaned down to kiss her, but she put her hand in front of her mouth.
"Nope, morning breath." She said shyly
"I don't care about morning breath." He said as he pulled her hand away and replaced it with his lips.
As soon as their lips met he immediately became hard. Janet moaned when she felt his hardness against her thigh. She reached her hand out and began to stroke him. Their kiss intensified. His hand found and fondled her breast. Suddenly there was a knock at their door.
"You've got to be kidding me." He snapped
"Eddie, Janet, are you guys up?" Sam's voice said from behind the closed door.
"Hang on a sec Sam." Janet said as she pushed Eddie off of her
"Come on J send him back to his room so we can finish this." Eddie begged
"Give the kid a break. He is just excited."
"Yeah well so I am." He said
"You better go to the bathroom to take of it." She said grinning as she pushed him out of bed. Eddie grumbled his way into the bathroom and Janet put a robe on an answered the door.
"Morning Janet." Sam said as he threw himself into her arms. "I am so excited. I don't know what I want to do first. Mom said that I will have time to do everything but I'm not sure so I want to get started right now."
"Your mom is right, you will have time to do everything that you want. I promise."
"Janet, is Eddie mad at me?"
"No, of course not."
"Well he sounded mad on the phone."
"He's just not a morning person."
"Where is he?"
"Shower."
"Will you please go ask him for me?"
"Now?"
"Please Janet."
"Ok, I'll be right back." Janet walked into the bathroom. Eddie was already in the shower. She poked her head in the shower and took a second to enjoy the few of Eddie's ass. She was about to get his attention when she saw him using his hand to take care of his hard on. She felt torn. She had never seen a man do this live and in person and she wanted to watch, but she didn't want to intrude on his private moment. Before she could decide what to do he finished the job and turned around and jumped when he saw Janet peeking.
"Oh God." He yelled and Janet turned red.
"I…I'm sorry. I …I…Oh shit." She turned away but Eddie grabbed her arm.
"Did you like the show?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of…"
"Shouldn't have watched? I don't mind." Janet's eyes widened.
"Can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"What do you think about when you're ya know?"
"When I'm masturbating?" Janet turned bright red and nodded. "You baby. I'm thinking about you."
"What about me?"
"How good your breasts taste in my mouth, how hot and wet you get for me, things that I want to do to you." He said grinning
"Ok, then." She said
"What are you doing in here anyways?"
"Oh, yeah, Sam wants me to make sure that you aren't mad at him."
"I'm not."
"That's what I told him." She said as she walked slowly towards the bathroom door
"Oh J?"
"Yeah?"
"I showed you mine, so now you get to show me yours." He said as he winked at her
"No way."
"All in good time. All in good time."

An hour later they all were enjoying the breakfast at the buffet.
"I am so sorry you guys that Sam called you and showed up at your room this morning. I told him to leave you guys alone but when I jumped into the shower he did his own thing." Hannah said to Eddie and Janet
"It's no big deal." Janet said as she squeezed Eddie's hand
"But don't let it happen again Sam." Eddie said and Sam nodded. "Dude I'm kidding but seriously 7:30?' Everyone laughed
They decided to spend the morning in the bowling alley and the afternoon at the pool. They bowled tons of games, switching teams. At one point they all won a game or two. The afternoon at the pool was a blast. It took them back to their high-school days. They all kept tormenting each other, splashing and dunking each other, playing water basketball and volleyball. After dinner they all went to a show that Eddie and Nick snored their way through. Hannah and Janet kept nudging them awake and it would last all of five minutes before they were snoring again. The girls were so embarrassed by the end of the show.
After dinner the friends parted ways. Nick, Hannah and Sam went to a movie and Janet and Eddie walked around the ship, holding hands.
"This is perfect." Janet said as they stood on one of the ship's many decks looking out at the ocean.
"It sure is." Eddie said looking at Janet
"It is amazing all of this ocean in front and behind us. It's like nothing else exists except this ocean, this ship and us."
"I could live with that." Eddie said as he moved behind Janet and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You know everyone has a perfect moment that they commit to memory. This is my perfect moment." She whispered as Eddie kissed her neck.
"I'm glad that I'm a part of your perfect moment."
"I never thought that I would be happy again after everything that happened with Paul and Andy."
"Baby, what Paul did to you was unthinkable. He treated you like shit because he thought that you didn't deserve any better and it made him feel like a big man but in truth he was just a scared little piece of shit who felt better when he made you feel like crap."
"I know that now."
"And sweetheart, I hope you know that if Andy had lived, he would have had the best mother in the world."
"I don't know about that."
"I do. J, when you love someone or something you love with every ounce of you and I know that you love Andy with everything you have." Janet turned around, wrapped her arms around Eddie's neck and cried. He rubbed her back gently. After a few minutes she looked up at the man she loved.
"I really wanted to be his mom. I wanted it real bad." She sniffed
"I know you did, but you still are his mom. You will always be his mother."
"But, I wanted to kiss him, hold him when he cried, kiss his boo-boo's, hear his first word, and watch him take his first step." The tears were streaming down both of their faces. Their faces were so close to each other that when other people walked passed them; they were oblivious to their pain. They just thought they were another happy couple having a private conversation.
"I wanted that too, and I'm sorry that those moments were taken from you."
"Eddie, I don't even have a picture of him and I am forgetting what he looked like."
"We do have a picture."
"What?"
"Don't you remember in the hospital, they cleaned him up and took a picture?"
"I don't remember."
"You must have been too upset when I told you about it. I told you that I would show it to you when you were ready too see it."
"When we get home, I want to see it."
"I have it in my wallet if you want to see it before then." She nodded and held out her hand. He took her hand and led her back to their room. He wanted her to be in private when she saw it. He gently sat her down on the bed, took his wallet out of his pocket, pulled the picture out and handed it Janet. She looked at it silence for a few minutes.
"He looks like me." She said softly.
"Yes he does." Janet slowly got up, placed the picture on the dresser, pulled out a nightgown, went the bathroom and shut the door. She came out ten minutes later with a freshly washed face and swollen eyes from crying. She crawled in bed next to Eddie who had his arms opened and waiting for her.
"I'm sorry that I ruined our vacation."
"Oh my pretty girl, you didn't ruin anything. You showed me how brave you are and how much you have overcame. You took a huge step tonight and I think that being here on this ship helped you take that step."
"I am so lucky that I have you. Thank you for being my rock."
"I love you J." He said as he kissed her softly. That night they needed to feel close to each other so when they made love it was slow and erotic and they had never felt closer before then they did that night.
