"All of it's ready?" Gabriel asked as he made sure all of the carriages were stocked. Today they would be leaving.
"Yes. Most of the staff has been sent, as well as the clothing and such." James said.
"Good. Now where is my beautiful lady?" Gabriel quickly ran into the house. "Evelyn, time to go!"
"I'm up here!" Eve shouted down to him. Gabriel climbed the steps, and went into the study.
"Evelyn, we should really be shoving off."
"I know, I just wanted to get one more thing." Eve was on her toes trying to reach for a book.
"You know…" Gabriel then walked over and picked up the book. "That's why you have me." Gabriel handed her the book.
"Thank you, really handy in these types of situations."
"Glad to be of service." Gabriel then took her hand and they started to walk down the stairs.
"I am going to miss it here."
"Me too."
"We are going to come back with one extra person…" Eve said with a smile.
"I know." Gabriel smiled as well. Gabriel then helped Eve into the carriage. Gabriel then gave the signal and they were off.
"How long will be traveling?"
"Two days…non-stop…" Gabriel said sheepishly, knowing it was a long trip.
"Thank God I got a thick book…" Eve said as she flipped through the pages.
"I can keep you entertained." Gabriel said with a smile.
"Really?" Eve said with a wicked grin.
"Very." Gabriel then began to kiss her neck.
"If you think we are going to, make love in this carriage, as it's riding through Paris and other various towns…you are wrong. So I suggest, to you, to cool off." Eve said flatly. Gabriel pulled back.
"Are you trying to be funny?"
"No." Gabriel then sat back, staring straight ahead. Eve tried really hard to suppress her laughter, but failed and started laughing hysterically.
"Wench!" Gabriel then grabbed her sides and began to tickle her. "Think that was funny! Play with a man's affection's like that!"
"Stop please!" Eve cried out in laughter.
"Make it up to me…" He then held his hands around her waist.
"Don't you think you've done enough?" Eve said with a glance to her stomach.
"Not even close…" Gabriel then pulled her into a kiss. The carriage then rocked violently as it made it onto the dirt roads…they were now starting to pull out of Paris.
"This is not going to happen…" Eve said suddenly as she pulled away from him.
"Why?" Eve then sat up and pulled a cord, that was a signal to the driver to stop. Eve then quickly hopped out of the carriage. "What's wrong?" Gabriel jumped out of the carriage behind her.
"I'm going to be sick…" Eve then threw up right there, on the side of the muddy road. Gabriel bent down next to her and placed a reassuring hand on her back.
"It'll be alright." Gabriel said soothingly. Eve looked up and shot him a look. "Right, sorry."

"We just have to watch…we'll find out their whereabouts…"
"Captain, sir, the house is practically empty…"
"I don't care."
"Sir, I understand, but to…"
"I don't care. He loves her very much…I am going to take that away from him…with time…I will wear them down…especially her…I know her…I can't remember where…"

"Feeling better?" Gabriel said as he stroked Eve's hair. She was laying down, her head in his lap.
"No."
"Do you want to stop somewhere? We can stop for the night if you're not feeling well." Gabriel said as his knuckles lightly touched her cheek.
"If there is an inn along the way. Don't stop on account of me." Eve said as she tucked her knees closer to her chest.
"We'll stop if you say. So yes or no?" Gabriel then looked down on her.
"Dear God please…" Eve moaned in agony. "I feel awful."
"I know." Gabriel then grabbed his jacket that was laid beside him and put it over Eve.
"Thank you…" Eve said sleepily.
Gabriel smiled at her. Within minutes Eve was finally asleep and Gabriel's thought drifted. Gabriel wanted Eve to marry him. He hadn't proposed the idea only because he still wasn't entirely sure how she felt about marriage. He wanted her to be his wife, but a piece of paper didn't mean anything, if she was his without the paper work, that was fine by him. Evelyn Johnson, it had a nice ring to it, a ring he enjoyed as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Evelyn, darling, wake up…" Gabriel whispered as the carriage stopped at the inn.
Eve just groaned.
"Come on, a nice soft bed is awaiting us…" Eve opened her eyes quickly.
"A bed?"
"Yes." Gabriel smiled and held out his hand. Eve carefully stepped out of the carriage, still light headed from being sick that morning. They walked upstairs to the small dark in that was situated off the road. Gabriel helped her all the way upstairs and opened the door. Eve stripped her jacket off and fell onto the bed.
"I am so tired." Eve said with a breath.
"Just sleep." Gabriel said as he sat on the corner of the bed pulling off his boots. Eve crawled on the bed behind him and placed her arms around his neck, nibbling at his ear. "I thought you were tired."
"Maybe I have a bit of strength left." Eve smirked.
"Your not going to want to vomit again when I go to kiss you?"
"I'll try not to." Eve said as she kissed his cheek. "We could just go to sleep if you aren't up to it." Eve then laid down on the bed.
"Sure…" Gabriel laid down next to her. No more than ten seconds went by, Eve couldn't handle the silence.
"Your not serious? I mean this morning…" Her face was priceless and he just laughed. Eve lightly slapped him on his chest and began to unbutton his shirt. She took off the shirt and laid down next to him, tracing the outlines of his muscles with her fingertips. "I love you…" She said quietly.
"I love you too. You know this is going to be different…"
"What?" Eve didn't understand where he was coming from.
"You expecting. I am always going to protect you…to keep you safe." Eve smiled against his bare chest.
"Can't kick you out?" Eve said stifling a laugh.
"No, the deed has my name on it." Gabriel then kissed the top of her head.
"Oh well, I guess it's just as good having you around." Gabriel then sat up and leaned over her.
"Very good."
