Lauren and Joey spent a week in the hotel and then travelled to visit with her Nan Cora. She welcomed Joey into her home, although much to Lauren and Joey's horror and dismay insisted that they have separate bedrooms. Cora was strangely very old fashioned and didn't believe in sex before marriage. Which explained, to Lauren, the very strained relationship between her mother and Cora. Tanya had got pregnant at 18 after her affair with Max who at the time was married to someone else with a 6 month old son.

On numerous occasions both Lauren and Joey had been caught sneaking out of or to the other's room by a not very happy Cora. Each time they were caught they were given a lecture by her grandmother and they both sat there like naughty school children fighting back their giggles until she had left the room.

They had been in Australia for a month. Lauren sighed as Joey came into the room from an early morning run.

'What's wrong babe?' he asked her 'Do you want to go home?'

Lauren shook her head 'No. I want to see more of Australia' she told him

'Yeah? Like where?'

'I want to see the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour and I want to see Ayers Rock and I want to go to Bondi Beach'

'Okay, so then we see more of Australia' he told her as he grabbed a water from the fridge

'You don't mind?' Lauren asked him softly as he sat down next to her

'No. As long as I am with you I am happy' he told her softly 'Wherever we go. And if I am honest I want to see more of Australia too' he moved forward and he gave her kiss. 'I am going to go shower and then we will look at where we are going next' he told her

'I love you' Lauren said to him and Joey beamed at her, he would never get tired of hearing her say that to him.

'I love you too babe' he said stealing another kiss before he disappeared.

After a tearful goodbye to Cora, which Lauren knew was silly because they had left some of their cases there to collect on their way back, Lauren had wanted to spend another few days in the hotel they first stayed in when they got to Australia before they went home and Joey was happy to oblige, Lauren and Joey were packed and off on their travels.

When they had checked back into the hotel Lauren had been so exhausted from travelling she had curled up on the bed and fell asleep for 12 hours straight, Joey had taken off her shoes and covered her with a sheet before turning the air-conditioning on and then curled up on the bed beside her.

Now after 3 months of travelling Australia they were both sitting in the first class cabin on their flight home. Joey was asleep beside her, the fingers of his left hand entwined with her right hand.

Lauren lay her head back against the head rest and she closed her eyes and she let her mind wander...

*FLASHBACK*

The first night they got to Australia, things had got a little heated between her and Joey and they had spent most of the night having mind blowing sex. Lauren had woken before Joey the next morning, she had stretched and smiled as she remember the events of last night, she felt a little bit sore but in a good way, she rolled over to look at Joey who was asleep beside her, she propped her head up on her hand, and she waited for Joey to wake up. She knew the instant that he did because he suddenly took a deep breath and started to let it out slowly, but then he stopped and he spun round in the bed in a way that made Lauren want to giggle.

'Hi' she said smiling shyly at him

She watched the broad grin that spread across his face and she felt her heart melt that this grin was for her, and for her alone, and that all she had done to earn it was to be there in bed with him when he woke up.

'Hi' he replied 'This is new, us waking up together' he moved forward and he kissed her softly. 'I like it' he told her

Lauren nodded 'me too, I could get used to this' she had replied and it was true she could.

'Yeah? You know what else we could get used to?' he asked her

'What?' she grinned at him already knowing the answer to the question.

'Wake up sex' he told her

'I wouldn't say no' Lauren said to him and then she frowned 'Don't you want breakfast first?'

'Babe you are breakfast' he smiled back at her as he lunged for her, she squealed and giggled.

Later when they laying his each other arms, he frowned

'Why did you ask me if I wanted breakfast first?' he asked her, when he didn't answer he shifted their position slightly so he could look down at her

He saw her eyes cloud over briefly and she shrugged 'I just thought that you might be hungry that's all' she told him. He wasn't happy with her answer but decided not to push it.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

The stewardess interrupted Lauren asking her if she would like some refreshments or something to eat. Lauren declined choosing to wait until Joey woke up. She turned to look at the sleeping man next to her and she smiled and she closed her eyes, she was soon asleep.

AN: Don't worry there will flashbacks during their flight home of their trip to Australia from both their point of views.
