Chapter 14: Honeymoon

The night they arrived, Dana was standing out on the balcony looking out over the beach. Carter walked up behind her and placed his hands on each side of her. "How does it feel to be Mrs. Carter Grayson?" He asked. Dana turned and looked at him. She placed her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him into kiss. When they pulled out of the kiss, she smiled at him.

"It's the greatest feeling ever," she replied.

She then looked at him quizzically. "What is it?" He asked.

"How did you know all those other Rangers?" She asked.

Carter chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Well?" She asked.

"You're going to very upset when I tell you this," he replied.

She sat on the bed looking at him. "What is it, Carter?" She asked.

"Day, after you left, I was called out on a mission. All of the Red Rangers had a mission to the moon. We were going to stop a zord called Serpeterra from coming back," he replied.

"What's so bad about that?" She asked.

"Day, it was a very dangerous mission. It was one of those missions that I probably wouldn't have returned from," he replied.

Dana's eyes widened and her heart stopped. "You could've been killed, Carter," she commented. He sat next to her and nodded.

"I know, but I'm okay, Dana. I came back and now I'm here with you," he assured her.

She nodded and hugged him. "I love you," she whispered. He hugged her back and kissed her neck.

"I love you too," he answered.

Dana pulled back and Carter kissed her. She then released her hair from the clip her hair fell around her shoulders. He gently pushed her back on the bed and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

The next morning, Dana smiled when she woke up in Carter's arms. The sun streamed through the window and she looked over at her husband. 'Husband' wow, it surprised her. All the time she knew Carter she wanted to marry him. She decided to get out of bed and reluctantly left her husband's embrace. She pulled on her light pink, silk nightgown and walked out on the balcony. She let the breeze go by and smiled. Dana felt so happy. She was finally married to the man of her dreams.

Carter woke up to find the spot where Dana was sleeping empty. He looked over to find his bride standing on the balcony in her nightgown. He stood up and pulled on his pajama pants. Carter walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. Dana leaned back against his strong chest and placed her hands over his. "How did you sleep?" He asked.

"Last night was the best night of my life, Carter," she replied.

"What about the other nights?"

"Well, one of those nights our children were conceived so that was the first best night of my life."

Carter chuckled as he held her close. Dana leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed happily.

Later that afternoon, Carter and Dana were out on the beach. Dana looked over at her husband to see him relaxing in the sun. "Babe, let me some lotion on you before you look like a red lobster," she quipped. Carter chuckled and opened one eye to look at her.

"My beautiful wife is going to put lotion on me?" He asked.

"Yes," she replied.

"I'll do the front, you can do my back."

Dana smiled once her turn came up. She straddled his back before rubbing the suntan lotion into his skin. She shrieked when he pinned her to the ground. "Carter!" She gasped.

"What? Can't a husband have some fun with his wife?" He asked.

"Yeah, but not in front of all these people," she replied.

Carter sighed as he let her go. "I'm going to get some drinks," he informed.

"Don't be too long, handsome," she called.

"Don't you worry," he assured her.

Dana got back into her chair and pulled her sunglasses on. Just then, she felt something land by her hand. She looked over to find a Frisbee by her hand. She looked up when a guy came over to her. "Sorry about that," he apologized.

"It's okay," she assured him.

She handed by the Frisbee and felt a little uncomfortable as he watched her. "Is there something I can do for you?" She asked.

"You could join me for a drink," he replied.

Dana giggled as she stood up. "I don't think so," she replied.

"Why not?" He asked.

"I'm sort of with somebody."

She looked up when he grabbed her arm. "Come on, one drink," he insisted.

"I said no," she replied.

She pulled her arm away and then she gasped when he grabbed her much harder. "You're joining me," he snapped. Just then, Carter stood behind him.

"I don't think you should do that," Carter stated.

"Mind your own business," the guy snapped.

The guy was about to punch Carter when the former Red Ranger grabbed his hand. "Who are you?" The guy demanded. Carter grabbed the front of the guy's tank top with a glare.

"I'm Carter Grayson. I would like you to meet my wife, Dana," Carter replied.

He dropped the guy and Dana laughed as he ran off towards his friends. "My hero," she sighed with a fake damsel in distress voice. Carter grinned as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"He won't bother you again, ma'am," he told her.

"You're too kind, mister. And you're so strong," she giggled.

Carter chuckled as he pulled her into a kiss.
