As Ethan and Theresa walked in to the Crane cabin, it was even more beautiful then she remembered. It was all light up with a thousand candles everywhere, and smelled so wonderful. As Theresa looked more closely she could see dozens of red, pink and white roses, everywhere.

"Oh Ethan, did you do all of this for me?"

"I wish I could take credit for it, but it was actually all Julian's idea."

"Julian?"

"Yeah...Like I said, I just asked. I was wracking my brain trying to think of a place where we could go to be alone. I remembered all of the good times we have had here, so I decided to give it a try and call Julian. He was more than happy to give me the key, he wanted to make up for all that he had done to you in the past, and let us know how happy he is that we are back together, and a family. He asked what he could do to make the day more special. I had said just stock it with food. He insisted on not only stocking it, but having it all set up this way."

"I can't believe the change in that man. I know he told me once that spending all of that time with Timmy made him see his life in a different way, but I never really believed him until now."

"Well, I am going to bring the bags in from the car, and then we are leaving."

"Leaving? For where? And what bags, I never packed one bag for this trip."

"Well, I recruited your mother and Whitney to help pack your bag..."

"Mama AND Whitney? Why not just Mama?"

"Well, Pilar packed all of your clothes, and after she was done, I let Whitney pack your......unmentionables. She was so excited when I told her what I was doing for you..., she bought you new ones."

With that, Theresa started to blush. Unmentionables to Ethan was lingerie, and Whitney knew the kind that Theresa thought was beautiful, so she was sure they would get put to good use...for a few minutes, anyway.

"And as for where we are going...there is a pond behind the cabin. It's completely frozen over, so I am going to take you ice skating!"

"Ice skating...I love to ice skate!"

"I remember, so now stop giving me the third degree and let me get our stuff."

"Okay." As Ethan turned to leave, Theresa stopped him.

"Ethan, can I just ask you one more thing?"

"Of course, baby."

She smiled big again. She would never get sick of him calling her baby.

"Did you pack some new ...unmentionables too?"

"Well, not that it's any of your business..." he said as he leaned close to her face... "but yes I did!", he whispered, and kissed her ever so slightly on the lips. As he pulled back, he realized how bad he wanted to go back for more, but he knew that could wait until tonight.

Theresa felt herself melt with Ethan's kiss. No matter how many times he kissed her...and they had been doing a lot of that lately...his kiss always sent sparks flying through her body, and the soft ones, like the one he just gave her, made her want him, really bad.

When Ethan returned with the bags, they immediately bundled up and decided to head right for the pond. She knew this was going to be fun, because she and Ethan had skated together before, and he was a joke on ice. Today was no different. No matter how hard she tried, he just couldn't get it right. By the time they were done, his butt was quite sore!

After ice skating, they came in and had hot chocolate by the fire, just holding one another and watching the flames. Before they knew it, dinner time was approaching. They got up and started to look through the cupboards and fridge to see exactly what Julian had bought for them to eat. When Theresa opened the fridge, she screamed out loud and quickly shut the door.

"Oh my God, I don't believe it!" Ethan ran to her side to see exactly what she screaming at. He opened the door and looked in. "Yikes! That is gross!!"

In a tank at the bottom of the fridge were two five pound lobsters and crabs, still alive, waiting to be cooked. They began to claw at the side of the tank when they saw the door open.

"Well, leave it to Julian", said Ethan. "Only the best."

"I'll put some pots of water on." Theresa was happy, she loved lobster and crab, but, couldn't Julian have had them cooked first?

"Yeah, I'll melt the butter", Ethan muttered. What's next, he thought, do have to get the caviar straight from the salmon?

A few minutes later the water was boiling and the butter was melting. "Okay!", said Theresa, "water's ready!"

"Okay", said Ethan.

They both stood in the middle of the kitchen.

"Well, get them."

"I'm not touching those things. You're the man, you get them."

"You boiled the water. You get them."

"No way, they are creepy looking. Good tasting yes, good looking, no."

"Aww...that's not very nice to say to Little Hermy and the boys!"

"Hermy?"

"Yeah, well. The lobster on the left looked kinda sad, so I named him."

"Ethan, I think all that falling you did today on the pond, went to your brain instead of your behind."

Ethan turned to the fridge and opened the door. "Okay, Hermy. Here we go, say goodbye fellas!"

With that, he grabbed the two lobsters quickly and ran them over to the stove. The immediately began to squirm all of their little legs and soon as they felt the air. They looked like two huge red spiders. Ethan noticed the look of disgust on Theresa's face, so he decided to have a little fun.

"Hermy, this is Theresa, Theresa Hermy." He put the lobsters right in her face and began to jiggle them around.

"Ethan, no!" She screamed and laughed at the same time. Pretty soon, Ethan was chasing Theresa all over the cabin!
