Hey, I don't own anything!! Enjoy!
The sun was rising and Matthew and Rebecca were laid in their bed, Rebecca was still asleep in Matthew's arms. Matthew lay awake thinking about what had happened, he was so happy that he waited for the right woman, the woman that he loved so it would be worth it.
He quietly slid from under the covers and then pulled his trousers on, trying very carefully not to wake his beloved wife.
He crept down the stairs and began fixing breakfast for them both to take back upstairs.
Matthew added the finishing touches and then walked back up the stairs carrying the tray carefully.
He sat on the bed and placed the tray on the bedside cabinet. He turned to Rebecca and stoked the hair from her face; he then leaned down and gave her a kiss to wake her up.
When she stirred he said, "good mornin'."
"Good mornin'," she replied.
"I made us breakfast;" he turned around and lifted the tray of food. He then placed it on her knee removing one of the plates for himself.
"Oh thank you, but I would have done this for us," she said.
"Nonsense, I know people think that cookin' is a woman's job but I don't think it's fair, men and women should share the household duties, after all we both live here." (A/N- Aww, how sweet!)
"How did I end up with a great man like you?" She asked.
"I'm the lucky one," he replied. "Eat your breakfast before it goes cold, we have to be at the train station in 3 hours."
******** The train pulled in to the station so Matthew and Rebecca said their last goodbyes to their families before climbing on to the train. Both mothers' could see a new light shining through the eyes of their children.
Matthew and Rebecca took their seats on the train and waved farewell to their families as the train began to move.
They were on their way to Denver to spend a week on their honeymoon. Michaela and Sully's wedding present to the two was a large honeymoon suite at the finest hotel in Denver.

Dr Mike and Colleen were just finishing up at the clinic before going home when Brian popped his head around the door, "Hi ma, Colleen; I just called to say I won't be comin' home for supper tonight."
"Why?" Michaela asked.
"Well, Sarah and I are going for a picnic for supper, we're gonna go watch the sunset.""
Oh, ok then. Don't be late home." Michaela said as she continued folding some bandages.
"Sure thing Ma," Brian smiled as he left.
"Oh isn't that sweet, I think he really loves her," Colleen told her mother.
Michaela waited a moment before answering her daughter, "yeah; I think so too."
"Something wrong Ma?" Colleen asked.
"Oh, its nothing," Michaela said.
"Come on Ma, you can't fool me. What's troublin' ya?" Colleen asked.
"Well, I've accepted that Brian is growing up and is now a young man, but I just don't want him rushing in to anything." Michaela said.
"He isn't rushing in to anything, they're just courtin' ma. Brian has a good head on his shoulder's he won't rush in to anything he can't handle," Colleen reassured.
"I suppose your right," Michaela said still unsure.
**********
"That was a lovely supper Sarah, thank you," Brian complemented.
"You're welcome," Sarah said while smiling at Brian.
The sun was getting set for falling so Brian and Sarah huddled together to watch it set.
As the sun set Brian turned to Sarah and lifted her chin up and gave her a long passionate kiss. As the kiss deepened, Sarah pushed Brian over on to his back while Sarah moved on to her stomach, leaning over Brian just enough so she could kiss him.
Sarah broke off the kiss and looked deep in to Brian's eyes and then she spoke quietly, "I love you."
Brian smiled up at her and said "I love you too." He then brought his hand up behind Sarah's head and brought her down to meet his lips once again.
In the distance there was a loud rumbling noise, but neither Brian nor Sarah stopped the kiss to see what it was.
The storm was getting close but they were too caught up in the kiss. All of a sudden there was a loud stroke of lightening, Brian and Sarah immediately broke off the kiss and jumped to their feet.
Brian looked in the direction of the storm and then said, "it looks like its coming fast, and I think it's too late to get back safe. We'll have to take cover in that cave over there; I'll start us a fire."
"But my ma will get worried if I don't get back," Sarah said.
"Yes I know but if we start back now then we could get caught in the storm. Come on, help me gather the picnic basket and take it in to the cave and I'll gather some wood to start the fire," Brian said.
**********
Michaela was looking out of the window, searching for any sign of Brian returning.
Sully walked up behind his wife and said, "don't worry Michaela, they probably saw the storm coming and took cover. I've taught him all he needs to know in the case of a storm, they'll be fine."
********** Brian had built a fire and they were sat close keeping each other warm. The storm was right over them now, the rain was pouring down hard and the wind was blowing strong in to the cave.
"I'm getting cold Brian," Sarah said.
Here lets lay down together closer to the fire, we can keep each other warm with our body heat and I'll wrap the blanket around us," Brian said.
Sarah gladly obeyed, any excuse to get close to Brian, she thought.
They lay down in front of the fire facing each other; Sarah buried her head in Brian's chest and fell asleep as Brian stroked her hair.
********** As the sun rose, Brian and Sarah walked out of the cave.
"Ready to go home?" Brian asked smiling.
"Um.yes!" Sarah replied letting out a quite laugh.
A little while later they were approaching Sarah's house as Sarah's Ma came running towards them.
"Are you all right, what happened?" Sarah's mother asked in a panic.
"We're ok Mrs Sheehan, we just got held up in the storm and had to take cover in a cave until it passed," Brian informed Sarah's mother.
"Oh, well thank you for taking good care of her," Mrs Sheehan said.
"Yes, thank you Brian," Sarah said as she walked up to Brian and gave him a small kiss.
Mrs Sheehan looked at the two, thinking to herself how they made such a perfect couple and hoped that someday they might even get married.
"Goodbye then," Brian said to the two ladies.
**********
Brian walked up the stairs to the homestead and walked in.
Michaela immediately turned around to see if it was Brian and then ran towards him. She gave him a tight squeeze and then asked, "where were you? I was worried sick, why didn't you come home?"
Sully was stood behind Michaela trying to calm her.
"I'm sorry Ma but when the storm came, we had to take shelter in a near by cave and wait it out," Brian said.
"Were you warm enough? You haven't caught a chill have you?" Michaela asked trying to get more information out of her son.
"Yes I'm fine, we are both fine. I started a fire and Sarah and I kept each other warm," Brian finished as he headed toward the stairs.
"What do you mean you kept each other warm?" Michaela questioned further.
"I mean that we kept each other warm by sharing our body heat just like Pa taught me. Now can I go get changed?" He asked.
"Go on," Michaela said.
As soon as Sully heard Brian's door close he spoke, "you see, there was nothing to worry about. He knew how to handle the situation."
"But Sully, they were alone together all night in some cave doing God knows what."
"Is that really what you think of our son? We raised him to be a good person, he would not do anything like that and you know it," Sully said with a slight tone of anger in his voice.
"No, you're right, he is a good person but if you could have seen what I did behind that telegraph office then you would be a little curious yourself."
