Hey everybody, hi doctor nick, sorry I'm watching the Simpson's right now and I love doctor nick. Ok back by popular demand the Unknown Soldier, yay (crowd in authors head goes wild.) I'd like to thank you all for your reviews and making the continuation of this story possible.

I'd like to dedicate this chapter to hpgf, whose penname now is Harry potter is b e a utiful, thanks girl, love ya lots. Now this chapter is not how I planned it, my original was very boring and lame, but thanks to my good friend Ginny (Harry potter is b e a utiful,) for fixing it up and making it better and a lot more funny.

Now, without further ado, I give you chapter 8.


"Evy?" Rick asked again, I stepped out of the water, it was now only covering my ankles, and the rest of me was cold, wet, and naked. Only my chest was covered by something, my hair. I lowered my hands in front of me to cover everything below my waist that I could.

Without a word I lifted on arm up and made a bun, showing Rick what I had done.

"Jake?" he yelled, "You passed as Jake?" he slapped his head with his hand, not once taking his eyes off of me. I lowered my hair to cover my chest again, he was paying special attention there, but even though we were married and he'd seen me naked before I still felt embarrassed.

"Let me explain…" I said. I could feel the tears swelling in my eyes as I started to cry.

"No, I…I need a minute." He said as he headed back towards camp. He was halfway there when he turned around and looked at me again. The cold had finally kicked in and I was now freezing, I had one arm covering my chest and the other covering anything below. I was too scared to move.

Rick stood ahead of me, just staring at me in the moon light. From the look on his face he wouldn't leave me out here all alone and I knew it, just as much as he did. I started to blush at what he might do, he once told me something about skinny dipping and that told me that he wasn't afraid to come in, but the next thing that came out of his mouth brought the fear back out.

"I can't believe you did this." He said walking back towards me again; never once letting his eyes leave my body. "Cover yourself would you? I can't concentrate." He yelled, it was a time like this I was glad we were so far from camp, where no one could hear us. I held back a smile and reentered the water.

"I can't believe you did this." He repeated, now pacing in front of me. He stopped and walked back to camp.

"Damn, damn, damn. I do all I can to keep her safe and then she goes off and pulls shit like this." He mumbled walking off. He got closer to camp this time, but didn't make it all the way; he turned back around and headed towards me again for like the third time that night.

"I can't do this." He said now in front of me and staring into my eyes. "Get out of the water." He said and I got out, but before I could cover myself with anything besides my arms he had his arm around my waist and he drew me close to him.

"Rick, I'm sor…" I began, but was cut off by his lips on mine; even though he was mad his kiss was filled with nothing, but pure passion. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He pulled away and spoke, his eyes never loosing mine.

"Evy, you did something stupid, brave, but stupid." He said smiling, and it was then that I knew he was no longer upset with me, though part of me did feel stupid.

"Rick I..."

"Couldn't resist my roguish charm?" I started to laugh at what had just come out of my husband's mouth.

"It's rather hard."

"Why?" his voice was serious now, "why did you do this?"

"I love you." I said honestly.

"I love you too, my darling." He was teasing me now and I loved him even more for that. The best thing about my Rick was he could never stay mad at me for long.

He looked down from my eyes and at my body for the hundredth time that night. As he did this he mumbled something incoherent.

"What was that, Hun?" I asked, and then teased him by closing the small space between us.

"I'm the luckiest man in the desert." He said. I gave him a look, the same one that he called me frisky one, though I don't know why. He picked me up bridal style and laid me on the ground and it was at that moment I knew that this was going to be one hell of a journey.
