CHAPTER 3
Sab and Cody went back to her place. As they went in Cody noticed, that she has been acting mysterious since she had her private talk with Elaina.
"What's in your bag? It's a lot fuller than when we left here tonight. Lift something from the Donovan house?" Cody lifted the bag.
"Hey! Don't touch that. Just sit down and I'll show you. I'll be right back." Sab took her bag with her into the bedroom to change into the gown and robe. "Close your eyes!" She yelled from the bedroom.
"Why what are you up to?" Cody wondered.
"Do it Forrester," Sab demanded. "Are they closed?"
"Yes! I even have my hands over them," Cody yelled back.
"Good keep them that way, until I tell you to open them." Sab walked out into the living room and turned the radio on. She stood in front of Cody. "Ok, you can open them now."
Cody removed his hands from his eyes and opened them. His jaw dropped open and he stared at her for a long time before trying to speak. "You.. Where did.. I'm speechless."
"Good, kiss me." Sab sat on his lap giving him a long and passionate kiss. She rubbed the back of his neck as they kissed. Cody held her close not wanting to let go of her. Sab finally broke the kiss.
"Wow! You've kissed me in many ways but that was definitely different," Cody said, he started to kiss her on the neck.
"Elaina said this outfit would improve my love life. I didn't take her seriously, but I do feel different wearing it."
"You look different. Good different. Never thought of anything that covered a woman up so much, could make her so beautiful."
"I think it has to do with a man using his imagination." Sab kissed him again as the song Lady In Red started playing.
"Believe me I'm using my imagination." Cody kissed her again. "That song is very appropriate. Why don't we dance?" Cody asked.
"I'd love to," Sab said as Cody took her in his arms as they slow danced.
When the song finished they stood there holding each other. "Why don't we go see what's underneath that robe? See if my imagination is right." Cody noticed that her eyes were sparkling like diamonds.
"I like that idea." Sab took him by the hand as they went to the bedroom. She let Cody take the robe off of her to reveal the red silk gown underneath. He kissed her on the lips and worked his kisses down to the top of her gown.
Sab took Cody's sweater off and then his t-shirt that he also had on and threw them on the floor. She kissed his lips and then trailed her kisses down his chest. He was enjoying her kisses so much he didn't realize that she was also working with his belt and pants until he felt her push them down.
Cody pulled the gown up over her hips slowly taking it off and revealing her beautiful body. A body that would soon become one with his. "I love you, Sabrina," Cody whispered to her as he laid her on the bed.
"I love you too, Cody." Sab held him close to her as he lavished her with kisses. His touch was gentle as he moved his hands over her body as if memorizing every inch of it.
Sab ran her figures through his hair as he nuzzled her breast. She moaned softly as he kissed his way up to her lips. Sab wrapped her arms around him massaging his back. "Cody, I want you so much," Sab whispered as she pulled him on top of her.
After a very passionate session of making love Cody saw that Sab has a big smile on her face and deep in thought. "I hope that smile is because you're thinking of me."
"Oh yeah! I'm definitely thinking about you." She kissed Cody again. 'I really have got to thank Elaina again for that present.' Sab thought to herself and giggled.
"How about we see what our imaginations can think of next," Cody said, taking her in his arms again.
***** When Frank went back up Elaina was curled up next to Sarah watching her sleep. "Are we going to sleep on the floor?" Frank asked.
"No, I think she can go back in her room." Elaina picked her up gently.
"What if she screams again?" Frank said as Elaina started for the door.
"Then she gets our bed and we sleep on the floor." Elaina giggled Frank walked with her.
"I wonder if her bed maybe causing the nightmares?"
"What makes you think that?" Elaina laid Sarah down in her bed.
"Well she seems to calm down fast when she's out of it, maybe she's feeling caged in."
"I guess we could get her a different bed but it would have to have safety rails on it too," Elaina stated putting the rail up on the baby bed.
"Hopefully Allison can help." He pulled the blanket up over Sarah.
"You're certainly aren't any help with your psychology degree," she teased him as they walked out.
"I don't analyze family besides, I'm out of practice. I'm use to Monica doing all that."
"Yeah, she's better than you ever were."
"Watch it, Lady. I'm starting to take offense to your remarks," he told her pushing her playfully into the bedroom.
"And just what do you plan to do about it, Mr. Donovan? Going to punish me someway?" Elaina turned and grinned at him.
"Why Mrs. D. I do believe you're just asking for something you can't handle."
"Oh I think I can handle anything you give me." Her eyes were being very suggestive.
"Lets see if you can handle this." Frank pushed her down on the bed and started tickling her.
"Frank! Stop it! You know I hate that." She tried to fight him off but he wouldn't stop. She tried to turn over but he wouldn't let her. "Get off me now!" she yelled in anger.
"You asked for it, I told you couldn't handle it." Frank got off her but not before she smacked him in the face.
"Next time you better think again before you try that." Elaina was very serious. "Let's have our talk now."
"I'm sorry Honey. I shouldn't have tickled you." He went to kiss her but she pulled away.
"I said, we'd talk now. Allison says that my wanting to control everything around me is what caused all the problems with you and the wedding. Is she right?"
"It didn't help. I thought it would be fun to renew our vows, but I seemed too get a little ticked that you asked me before I was able to ask you."
"I didn't help matters by just taking control, thinking you were serious about not helping."
"I was ok with you taking charge. It's when I saw the guest list and saw about two or three hundred names on it. I became a lot bothered."
"We don't have 300 names on that list. It's more like 100," Elaina assured him.
Frank shook his head no. "I don't want 100 people at the wedding either."
"Then how many do you want?"
"Ok, our immediate families. Andy and his wife Sam, Bea and the TDHG's, Monica, Alex, Jake and their dates and Cody, I know will be there. Allison, Billy, Becky will come as Derek's date. And of course, Hank has to come or it won't be any fun."
"Well for one thing, I consider Hank family and I'd never leave him out. There are a few more people from Laurel I'd like to invite. Like Megan's family and of course I need Magdalene."
"Why do you need her here? Going to order more gowns and robes for the honeymoon?" Frank asked playing with the ties on her robe.
"I get a honeymoon? Wow! I didn't think of that. I will have to order a special one, won't I?" Elaina said with excitement.
"Do you actually believe her gypsy beliefs of those robes?"
"Yes I do. I figure by now I have another believer too," Elaina said, thinking of Sab.
"What do you mean by that?" Frank wondered.
"Sab has the red one, I gave it to her."
"You didn't tell her, that was the one you were in, the night we think you conceived Sarah, did you?" Frank was curious.
"Are you kidding? After what she went through being scared she was already pregnant? I just told her it would enhance her love life. Besides I'm not sure it was the red gown. I think we were just over sexed that night and I got pregnant."
"You have to admit it was a big coincidence that you got pregnant after you started wearing the red gown. We had been trying and all of a sudden you're pregnant."
"Ok, maybe it was," Elaina, thought about it. "God, if Sab does get pregnant now, she'll kill me."
"I'm beginning to think Magdalene was right, it's the robe and gown. Because I am finding it very difficult to keep my hands to myself." He had been rubbing her hip with his hand and was now slowly moving the robe and gown off her legs.
"Well keep them to yourself. We aren't done talking yet." Elaina smoothed the robe back over herself.
"What else do you want to talk about?" Frank asked.
"Where do you want to have the wedding, if and when we have it?" She was being hopeful.
"Where were you wanting to have it?"
"Here unless you can think of someplace better."
"When you say 'here' do you mean inside or outside?" Frank asked.
"If we have it outside, it will have to be in a heated tent. It's winter you know."
"We could have it at HQ."
"Definitely not." Elaina grabbed a pillow and hit him with it.
"I was kidding." Frank grabbed another pillow to defend her attack.
"You better be. We can clear the living room and have it there, if you don't like the tent idea," Elaina suggested.
"A tent would have more room. I vote for that," Frank said.
"Ok that's settled, now do I pick your tux out or are you going to do it?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"Very casual but dressy." Elaina grabbed a magazine from the nightstand. "This long coat." She pointed to the picture. Plus a black silk shirt, bolo tie, and black tuxedo slacks."
"Sounds comfortable I like the tie part. I'm sold," Frank said smiling at her.
"This is going too easy. Lets see. What about your Best Man?"
"What about him?" Frank knew what she meant he decided to be difficult. Elaina attacked with the pillow again. "Ok! As if I was able to pick anyone else. If Sab is your Maid of Honor that means I have to pick Cody, so they walk together."
"If you want someone else say so," Elaina stated.
"No, I think my bachelor party will be more fun with Cody planning it."
"You're not a bachelor. You don't get a party," Elaina informed him.
"Like the women won't throw you a wedding shower. I get a party if you do," Frank insisted.
"Only if it isn't X-rated. You know Derek will be there."
"I'll see that it's at least NC-17."
"Frank!" Elaina glared at him.
"Ok. R that's the lowest rating, I'm giving in too," Frank said.
"Ok, I give up. The only other things are the food, flowers and cake," Elaina said looking at her list.
"You can decide on those. But you're forgetting one thing," Frank said looking at her.
Elaina looked at her list again. "What did I forget?"
"I haven't asked you yet?" Frank got up from the bed, thinking she'd attack again.
"You said you would. I'm just getting this settled for when you do."
"Well, if we're done here, I have something I need to do before we go to bed?" Frank went over to his jacket and got something from the pocket.
Elaina was looking at her list and making notes. Frank had turned the stereo on. He came over and knelt down in front of her. She was still making notes, when he took the pen and paper and threw them on the floor.
"What are you doing?" She finally noticed he had something in his hand.
"What does it look like?" Frank smiled.
"Don't let me stop you." Elaina tried to control her excitement.
"I love you very, very much. You're my friend, my lover, mother of my children, and most of all, you're my soul mate. Elaina Wynn Blakely Donovan will you marry me? Again?"
"I don't know. Let me think about it." Elaina laughed at the look on his face and then saw he didn't think it was funny. "Sorry. YES! Yes! I'll remarry you." She pulled him close to her and lavished him with kisses.
"Do you want the ring now or after we make out?" Frank held it up to her.
"Oh, now would be good." She held out her hand and he placed the ring on her finger. It was gold with a ruby heart with three small diamonds on each side. "It's beautiful."
"Like you, my Lady." Frank pushed her back on the bed and opened her robe. She rose up to let him take it off her shoulders. He slowly lowered it off her shoulders kissing them. When he had the robe off she moved up to the head of the bed and waited on him to undress and then get in beside her.
"I think we should wait until after we're married to make love again. What do you think?" Elaina tried not to laugh as Frank got in beside her.
He knew she was kidding so he played along. "That's ok with me, I'll just go take a cold shower." He started to get up but she jumped on top of him and kissed him.
"I was kidding. But there's something I need to do before we start." She used the same words he used.
"What would that be?" He wondered.
"This." She started tickling him but he yelped in pain from his stitches pulling in his side. "I'm sorry. I forgot all about your stitches." She moved and then turned him on his other side to check. She lifted the bandage and noticed that that two of the stitches had pulled free but most of the others were still in place.
"You'll be ok, you're not bleeding."
"We'll just have to wait until I'm healed up better," Frank sighed, disappointedly.
"I'm really sorry, Babe." She kissed him and he returned the kiss while touching her breast. "Umm, I thought you said we'd wait?"
"Be gentle with me." He smiled at her.
"My big brave hero. Nothing will stop him from making out with his woman." Elaina laughed as he started kissing her again.
Sab and Cody went back to her place. As they went in Cody noticed, that she has been acting mysterious since she had her private talk with Elaina.
"What's in your bag? It's a lot fuller than when we left here tonight. Lift something from the Donovan house?" Cody lifted the bag.
"Hey! Don't touch that. Just sit down and I'll show you. I'll be right back." Sab took her bag with her into the bedroom to change into the gown and robe. "Close your eyes!" She yelled from the bedroom.
"Why what are you up to?" Cody wondered.
"Do it Forrester," Sab demanded. "Are they closed?"
"Yes! I even have my hands over them," Cody yelled back.
"Good keep them that way, until I tell you to open them." Sab walked out into the living room and turned the radio on. She stood in front of Cody. "Ok, you can open them now."
