Chapter One

Looking out to the sandy beach, Alison stood happily by the open French doors leading to the wrought iron balcony, the moonlight shone beautifully on her face making her hair almost glow. A few weeks before the wedding, Elizabeth had totally surprised them by handing them two plane tickets and the reservation to a private resort in St. Lucia. Rafe had been a little suspicious of Elizabeth's generosity, but Alison had twisted his arm, and when they saw the place, any misgiving about it had gone out the window. Pink roses climbed up and around the railings of the balcony while red and pink candles sat glowing on a small table.

The room was huge and luxurious. A red loveseat and crackling fireplace sat on one end; while on the other end there was a bed and two nightstands. Other pieces of furniture were scattered throughout the room, all upholstered in delicate, lavish fabrics, adding to the romance. Candles and two glasses of champagne sat on a table by the fireplace, adding to the already romantic atmosphere. There was a spacious walk in closet and very large bathroom. The bathtub was big enough for two, with rose petals and candles scattered all around the marble foundation that surrounded the bath.

Thinking of their wedding only moments ago, a smile came over Alison's whole face. Their wedding really had been nothing short of magical. She laughed to herself, thinking of how Rafe always seemed to make all her dreams come true- especially today when he had invited all their closest friends and family to the wedding as a wonderful surprise for her. They'd planned on it being just the two of them so it caught her completely off guard when Jack, Jamal, Ricky, her mother, Casey, Ian, Kevin and Lucy ran into the small chapel with big smiles on their faces. It was one of the best surprises she could have asked for.

All the guests had gone back to Port Charles, and now it was starting to sink in. Alison couldn't believe she was finally Rafe's wife, and he was her husband! And the best part- it was only going to get better.

Alison was still wearing her wedding gown. It was the same dress that her Nana had worn at her own wedding so many years ago. The dress was very simple, strapless and slightly low-cut. It hugged her hips and then flared out at the bottom. Intricate and delicate white beading could be found all over her gown. It fit her body perfectly, accentuating every curve of her sexy figure. The gown was made of an airy beautiful material, which swished every time Alison moved, one of the things she loved most about it. And it made her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world when Rafe looked at her in it.

She sighed, twirling her gorgeous diamond wedding band around her ring finger. Just like her engagement ring, it looked like it was made just for her. The ring was white gold with one large diamond in the center, which sparkled brilliantly in the light. Simple- but very pretty. Rafe definitely had good taste when it came to buying her jewelry.

"Mrs. Rafe Kovich!' she squealed cheerfully.

Unbeknownst to Alison, Rafe had been watching her for minutes now from the bathroom. There were no words to describe the joy and peacefulness he got from knowing that he was finally married to the woman that he loved more than anything. When she walked down the isle to him, his heart skipped a beat. At that moment, Alison literally took his breath away. Alison was always beautiful to him, but the way she looked in her dress, the smile on her face. it made him fall in love with her all over again. And she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life, on Heaven and on earth.

Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around her waist and slowly spun her around. Alison smiled at Rafe; he looked so handsome in his tux. He looked down at his angel so his lips could meet hers. Now it was time to enjoy the new life they shared together.

"Mrs. Rafe Kovich." He repeated with laughter in his voice. "I love you Alison. I love you more than you can imagine." He said, holding her closer.

She loved hearing him say that. "And I love you. You know Rafe, it's finally ours, like you always said." She replied, looking into his eyes.

His smile became even bigger still, squinting his eyes in amusement "What is?"

"Everything we ever dreamed of. It's really ours Rafe. We're finally husband and wife."

Rafe pulled her closer still to him, kissing first her forehead lightly, then blazing a trail of kisses behind her ear and down her neck, nibbling her ears. She laughed against Rafe's lips as he finally captured hers, dizzying her with his kisses. She was obviously enjoying Rafe, but suddenly she pulled away from him.

"No-no-no," she said, waving her finger at him playfully. "Not yet Rafe." She teased, giving Rafe a mischievous look, which he always found very cute. He gave a smile, but still tightly kept his arms around her waist, obviously not wanting her to go anywhere.

"Alison," he said, sounding completely serious. Alison walked out of his grasp and slowly circled around him.

"Rafe. I know this will be an incredible night. and this is almost perfect." Rafe nodded, and then suddenly her last words sunk in.

"Almost?" he asked, confused. What had he forgotten? Looking around he could see nothing wrong. Alison was perfect tonight, and he was sure that the night would be too.

"Yeah. This room is beautiful, and it's all very romantic. The people at the resort didn't forget a single detail. But I think there's just something missing. Something, I just can't put my finger on it." Alison said quietly, loving to play this game with him. She was hoping he would catch on. The room was pretty, but it needed some personal touches, something special to make the night even more special to the both of them.

She had had a vision of how she'd wanted her wedding night to be since she was a teenager. Rafe of course, was more than she could ever ask for. But all the little things like roses and romantic music were lacking.

"I see. Well you know if there's anything you want me to get for you just ask. I want you to be happy tonight." He said.

"Aw. I know, that's something that I love about you," she smiled, giving him a kiss. "Rafe I think I'll just go make myself look a little nicer. I want to look beautiful for you. This is going to be a night we'll never forget."

Rafe laughed, lifting up her chin so their eyes met. "Could you look any more beautiful than you do right at this moment?" she leaned closer to him, running her finger up and down his chest.

"I'll be right back." Alison whispered. Her dress swished as Rafe watched her walk into the bathroom. She glanced behind her, gave him a smile and then closed the door behind her.

Rafe sighed and looked around the room. It looked nice already, but Alison was right. It was definitely lacking some personal touches. He got out some white candles and put Alison's favorite CD in the little stereo, dimming the lights. "Hmmm. No. Still not right." He mumbled to himself. Pink roses. Suddenly a big bushel of pink roses appeared in Rafe's hands. His magic powers had slowly been coming back to him after he last came back from Heaven to be with Alison, and reunited with her on the train.

He now sprinkled a trail of pink rose petals around the room, and of course on the bed. Now it was perfect. Rafe gave a content smile and sat patiently on the bed waiting for Alison. She usually took a long time to get dressed, but it was always worth the wait. He could now hear her humming "If You Asked Me To", which made him laugh to himself. Her voice wasn't exactly the greatest, but Rafe loved her voice no matter what it sounded like. The humming stopped and the doorknob twisted. Alison slowly stepped out of the bathroom.

"Rafe." She said softly.

"Oh, angel." He whispered.

**********

Alison was wearing a black nightgown that reached just below the middle of her thigh. It had a lacy, plunging neckline, which showed off her cleavage and her tanned, soft, gorgeous skin. The nightgown, like her dress, fit her figure wonderfully. She had her long blonde locks in curls that were cascading down her shoulders.

Her beauty amazed Rafe once again. She flashed him her dazzling smile and he was a goner. "Wow." was his response, the only words he could find to say at that moment.

"So. Do you like it?" she asked, the most adorable expression on her face as she slowly walked to Rafe. He pulled her to him, giving her a long kiss. "I assume that means a yes!" she giggled.

"Yes! Yes!" he answered throwing his hands in the air, as they now both began laughing.

They sat down on the loveseat, holding each other and drinking champagne. Alison was leaning back into Rafe's chest as she began to speak softly. "You do know that we'll never spend another night apart don't you? Are you sure you can put up with me?" Alison laughed, joking with him again. He kissed the top of her head.

"If putting up with you feels this good then I'll do it for the rest our lives, gladly." He chuckled.

"Well Rafe, we haven't even gotten to the good part yet," he smiled at the thought. "That is yet to come." She grinned, turning around so she was facing him.

"I love you Alison. My wife." Rafe loved that sound of it.

"Well, husband," she beamed, "Why don't you show me."

Alison slid off his jacket and threw it on the floor, as he began running his fingers through her blonde locks. As she began to rub his back he made this way, kissing first the front of her throat, then the nape of her neck and finally to her lips. His kisses first began slow and gentle, but then became faster and harder, making her moan quietly. As if knowing what the other was thinking, they both instinctively got up off the loveseat. He took her hands and begun leading her to the bed. But, before Rafe could ease himself onto it, she roughly pushed him onto the bed.

He looked up at her grinning and smiled himself. She was so sexy when she tried to be rough with him. He reached up and grabbed her around her waist, pulling Alison onto the bed on top of him. They locked eyes with each other as she unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off, throwing it to the floor.

Rafe smoothed her hair out of her face and kissed her tenderly from her collarbone to the top of her breast. Finally she unbuckled his belt and pulled off his pants, and he slipped off her nightgown, running his hands up and down her body feeling the smoothness of her skin.

The happy couple embarked on their favorite journey, finding that familiar rhythm they enjoyed so much. Words were lost on each other's lips and they became one, body and soul.

***********

The world fell away from them as Rafe and Alison made love. Little did they know that danger was lurking, and evil was never far away.

Ed sat up in heaven in his office looking through next week's comings and goings. Looking through a stack of papers, something caught his attention. Ed leaned back in his chair with a troubled look on his face.

"You know I've been rootin' for you two since day one. But you know how it is, son. I can't change the future." Ed sighed, looking down at his son and new daughter-in-law.
