After getting the kids to bed, Sally crawled up in bed next to Lightning. Pretty worn our after the wedding and the kids and now they would have to pack in the morning. "What a day huh?" Were the first things zhe said to Lightning. He smiled and pulled her closer agreeing "Yeah. What a day. I love you so much." He assured as he took her hand. Sally cuddled up against hia body as they snuggled. Lightning looked at the little ring and said "I'll get you an actual wedding band.." Sally shrugged with a smile saying. "No, it's fine. I actually love this. It will always remind me of how sweet and thoughtful you can be."

Lightning snickered then asked curiously "What ever happened to our old wedding bands anyway?" Sally sighed. "I'm.. Not sure. But.. We will get you one and I like this one. I don't want a big expensive one." Lightning leaned close and kissed Sally's cheek then she faced him and he kissed her lips softly with a quiet smack of the lips. "I love you so much Sally. I meant what I said, every word. I will treasure you this time. I will not take you for granted." he assured. Sally giggled replying "You sure have a way with words don't you?" Lightning shrugged before getting more comfortable in bed.

"You know.." Lightning began, "It is our wedding night." Sally immediately laughed! "Yeah, but we'll wait until the honey moon." "Wait.. What?" Lightning asked. His smile and flirtatious smrik immediately turned into a straight confused stare. "Mmhmm." Sally answered. Lightning only whined "But that's like.. Two days away! Ans we haven't... In so long that I can't remember when!" "I think you can survive two days Lightning." "No, I can't." He argued. Sally rolled her eyes. "I can't. I will die." He definitely over exaggerated there. Sally raised a brow in asking "Really? You'll die?" Lightning hesitated. "Yes." firmly. Sally laughed then sighed "Alright DraMcQueen.. You will live."

Lightning just glared at her and replied "Ha ha.. I see what you did there. You think you're funny, don't you. Well that only makes you Mrs. DraMcQueen now." Sally shook her head saying "Good come back." Jokingly and Lightning knew it. She leaned in close and kissed Lightning's lips. "Night Stickers." Then lay down to sleep next to him, her husband. Lightning sighed. "Night Sal." Before closing his eyes as well...

It was late and the couple ans children were all asleep. BBZZZZ. BBBZZZZ. Lightning vaguely heard the buzzing of his phone, but really just shuffled around in bed. BBZZZ BBZZZZ. This time it got Lightning's attention. He sat up and glanced down at the bright screen's light. He even had to rub his eyes and put in his glasses. Second, back up pair sense Bobby literally threw his others. He stared at the screen and was surprised to see that Cruz had texted him. Lightning looked over his shoulder at Sally. She was still passed out asleep. He smiled a little seeing her so peaceful. Then Lightning looked back at his phone. Cruz. He sighed and opened the message.

Cruz,

RSN announced you may have remarried Sally. I just wanted to congratulate you if that's true and wish you the best. We made such good memories and you'll always be some of the best memories I've ever had.

Lightning stared at this and it made him think about the affair. Sure, he had good times with Cruz, but she was never the woman he actually loved. Lightning glanced over at Sally once more before setting the phone back down. He then cuddled up agaisnt Sally and even wrapped an arm around her, kissing the back of hee shoulder. It made her push closer against him like instinct. He loved her. Hw loved her scent and he loved this day. His family. His wife...

Cruz stared at her phone. Wondering if Lightning would reply or not. Had he truly found it so easy to forget about her and everything they once had? She let out a sigh and looked across the room at her son Miguel. After a while of having him and caring for him herself. She began to really see why Lightning would choose what he had with Sally first. Because she truly loved her son and she understood the pull and power love like that had over a person. We're human and we fuck up, but if we truly love that person and it's destiny to be with that person. Love finds a way and doesn't just disappear.

Cruz then went over to where her son was asleep and gazed down at him. She leaned in close and kissed him and then adjusted his blanket over him. Cruz went to lay back down in her bed with no reply from Lightning, but Miguel sat up. "Mommy.." He called quietly. Cruz turned and walked back to her son. He only reached out for her. So Cruz picked him up and held onto him tightly, hugging him with such a motherly love. She couldn't believe she had ever thought of putting him up for adoption. She lay down in her bed with Miguel cuddled up next to her and sang the song that Sally had actually taught her.

"Baby mine, don't you cry.

Baby mine, dry your eyes.

Rest your head close to my heart,

Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one, when you play,

Pay no heed what they say.

Let your eyes sparkle and shine,

Never a tear, baby of mine..."...

Jackson stared at the remote. This remote was priceless. He had to keep it safe and with him at all times. At the moment, Jackson stood outside of Lightning's academy. Staring down the old dirt track. He was afriad. Never would admit it, but he was afraid to try and race again. What if he just couldn't do it. Besides, Lightning had his new racer Daniel Lapp. Jackson had no one to race for and most people still blamed him for that accident. That was fine, baby steps. He needed to take this slow and steady. He needed to be patient. But he was afraid and worse, he felt so guilty.

Cleo used him, this is true. Lightning was very right about that. Lightning just didn't know that Jackson had helped Cleo get what she needed to take the case back to court. That he had indeed written and sent the letters as Lightning. Cleo would turn his eye sight on and give him a time frame. If Jackson didn't come through, she threatened the worst. He was afraid and had to if he wanted any hope of getting, regaining his sight. But now, he had it. Lightning got it back! Jackson was no longer a slave to that evil woman. Though this, Jackson decided not to tell Lightning the truth of all he did for Cleo and remain quiet because he didn't want Lightning to kick him out and forget him or plot revenge again...

Lightning and Sally fixed breakfast for the kids and packed up the camaro with their things and the suv with things for the kids for their time with the Weathers. Colton ran through the room yelling "I can't find kitty! Where's kitty!? Mommy!" Sally brushed her hand over the boy's hair. "Um.. Did you look in your room? Your bed?" she asked. Colton sighed answering "He is, he is, he's not on the bed and.. And my room is messy.." "Colton, I'm trying to pack. Go look in your room." she ordered. Colton completely ignored that and stood there. Lightning walked in and asked his wife "You ready to go?" Sally looked over at him explaining "Almost. Colton can't find kitty." Lightning looked down at Comton and asked "Do you have to have kitty?" Colton nodded.

Lightning sighed. "Did you look in your room?" Colton nodded answering "Yes. Kitty is lost!" he began having a melt down. Lightning rubbed his eyes then walked up and picked Colton up. "I'll go look for kitty. You just get the twins in the car." Lightning instructed Sally. Sally raised a brow asking "You sure you can handle finding kitty?" Lightning snickered and rolled his eyes before taking Colton up to his room where he realized this was gonna be harder than he thought...

After finally finding Kitty, the McQueen's dropped the kids off and the suv at the Weathers before driving out to California. Their flight was tomorrow morning, so they'd be in a motel tonight after the long drive. "So.. Where you wanna stay tonight?" Lightning asked as he drove. Sally shrugged. "Just a nice little room is fine. Nothing fancy. You realize these tickets are first class right?" She asked. Lightning snickered. "Nice.." "These tickets are to mexico.." "Mexico?" Lightning asked. Sally nodded. "And these reservations are for the cancun? Whatever that is." Sally added. "Oh look, there's a brochure." Sally grabbed it out from the envelope and looked over it, reading it aloud to Lightning.

"Says here it's an all adult inclusive luxury resort. Hmm... All rooms look out to the sandy beaches and over the Caribbean. That sounds nice and a dance floor on each level of the nine levels with djs.. And the ground floor features a spa and aromatherapy along with public saunas. I don't know about that part.. Let's see what else." She flipped the page over and continued. "A large outdoor garden to walk through. That sounds relaxing. A rooftop club.. Hmm.. With private rooms for showing.. Ehh.. And says here all rooms come with pools and tvs and wifi. That's really nice." Lightning nodded and asked "Do they serve food or will we need to go out?" Sally skimmed through before answering.

"They have dinging too. Says here that there are six restaurants and thirteen bars inside and out.. Also rooms incluse 24/7 room service including personal massages.. Wonder if personal means something else.." She muttered. That made Lightning snicker a little and shake his head. "Why? You want some young, hot, stud rubbing all over you?" He asked playfully. Sally glared and laughed "Um, no." Before continuing through the brochure. "Besides the spa, sauna, there is also a miniature casino and waterfall treatment room. Whatever that is.. And a gym. Oh, and a luxury pool for watching sunsets and sun rises.We should definitely do that." Lightning nodded agreeing. "Whatever you wanna do, we'll do it." He assured. Sally smiled to that then took his hand.

"I can't wait to just spend some time with you." Sally exclaimed softly. Lightning smiled, holding her hand tightly. "Maybe tonight we ca"-"Nope. Not tonight Stickers." Sally interrupted. Lightning sighed and had to ask now, "Are we.. You really are going to make me wait another night? We're alone and on our honeymoon now. Please." He smiled. Sally giggled answering "No." "Please." "No?" Oh she laughed. Lightning sighed saying "We'll just see about that."...

The couple made it to the motel for the night before having to get up early and make their flight. Upon walking into the small room, Sally announced "My back kinda hurts from the long drive.. I think I'm gonna take a hot shower.." Lightning nodded replying "Yea, yea. Go ahead. Surely I can find something on tv." Sally smiled amd disappeared into the little bathroom. Lightning waited until he heard the click of the lock before rushing to try and make it irresistible for Sally to say no to him when she got out, or at the least make her feel loved and cared for and feel as if she were a treasure...
