EMMA AND VINCE

CHAPTER 4: HONEYMOON AND GOOD TIMES

The next morning Vincent woke up and turned to his side reaching out for Emma, only he felt nothing. The bed was still warm a bit and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around but didn't see her in the room with him but when he heard the toilet flush he knew where she was. 'Morning sickness again?' He thought out to her through their link.

He received a response that she had, well more so in feelings then in words. He got up out of bed, not really bothering to put on anything, he was going to take a shower anyway before their flight. He walked in to see her just as naked by the sink spitting out some mouth wash.

He took a moment to just admire her, he hoped he never stopped feeling this way about her. She just completed him in a way that until now he never knew was possible. He walked up behind her to give her a light hug, "Hey morning," He kissed her shoulder seeing their reflection in the mirror.

She gave a small smile at that and leaned back against him. "Morning yourself."

She paused as she looked in the mirror and took one of his hands up in hers. Both had on the gold rings as she stared at them. It was just strange how two tiny things could mean so much, they were officially married now something that Emma never really thought she would do. Well maybe a marriage of convenience at best or for money or even power. But for love, that was something she had given up on until she met him.

Then she just looked at their joined hands for a moment realizing that this wasn't a dream, that it was real. She could feel his body against hers, the warm of his skin on hers and the feelings coming off him as well. 'God why couldn't we have met sooner in life?' She silently asked herself. She had started to wonder if she had run off and met him what would her life have been?

Sure they had the rest of their lives together but still, all those years of emptiness would have been better with the love that she now had in its place.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked her holding her close to him nuzzling her neck. He knew she was thinking about something with how quiet and her looking at their reflection.

"Just…I still can't believe this is my life now…"

"I hope that's not regret."

"Of course not," She smiled nearly laughing as she looked at their reflection. "I'm perfectly happy now for the first time in a very long time."

"I know the feeling," He smiled back looking at them in the mirror. Her blond hair and his dark, her smooth flawless skin and his scared and tattooed body against hers were a contrast. But yet the way they held each other, looked at each other spoke of how well they worked together. "I just know that the both of us will have on hell of an interesting and great live together."

She nodded her hand and took his other hand in hers, "Three of us darling," She said taking it to her stomach where their baby was growing inside of her. She wasn't sure if it was hormones or just some type of motherly instinct kicking in but she couldn't wait to hold their baby for the first time in her arms.

"Yeah that's true," He smiled feeling her stomach where their son or daughter was growing. They didn't know the sex just yet but he was perfectly happy either way. "Well let's see…We need to clean up, breakfast if you can swing it, and then pack up for the flight to the Caribbean."

Emma nodded her head she may need to eat after the shower and her stomach settled down. She had planned out for a very nice honeymoon trip, first the Caribbean to work on their tan. Then to Paris where she wanted to get some clothing there. Italy, mainly Venice because it was supposed to be very beautiful. Finally a stop to Japan, Vincent wanted to see the ancestral home of his clan.

'Maybe I can pick up a nice Japanese dress there as well.' She though about a nice white and gold one. 'And maybe a school girl uniform for a little fun.' She grinned to herself.

"Well we might as well start with that shower then," She told him slowly moving towards it and led him to it. "I could use some help with washing my back…and a few other things," She said in a sultry tone.

Vince had to shake his head, "Did you get enough last night?" He asked as she pulled him into the shower and started up the warm water. "I mean I thought I did pretty good last night."

"Oh trust me I'm sore in a few places and aching too not to mention the smile you put on my face last night was proof you were more then just 'pretty good'"."

"That's nice to hear," He said pulled her close to him facing him, "I like to think you shouting out 'Oh god, oh god, yes please don't stop' last night wasn't an act."

She grinned as she looped her arms around his back pressing up against him, "I doubt I'll need to act. But with the baby on the way I want to get in as much intimate moments that I can with you before I get too big." She kissed him on the mouth and he only kissed her back as he pulled her close against him.

-Later-

Emma and Vince were at the moment packing up everything. Although Emma did pack three different suit cases while Vince only had one. And even then she didn't plan on wearing much of anything for long. It was just practical for her. Some of residents were there to wish them off as well as Vince's three guests, their plane left at a later date and Jean and Scott promised to see them to the air port.

Vince put in the last suit case going over the mental list in his mind. 'Let's see…passports, communicator just in case things go really wrong, tickets…' He went over what they packed as well and everything seemed to be there.

Emma was now dressed in a long skirt and sleeveless shirt that showed off her mid rift was saying good bye to the others. She hugged Kitty and promised to send her a few things from Paris. Kitty's eyes lit up at the thought of that. "Oh my god that will be so totally cool! I've always wanted to see Paris," The girl sighed to herself.

Emma smirked and made a mental note that when Kitty got married to send her there for her honeymoon as a wedding present. She hugged Betsy next, "Well I guess you'll have to keep everyone in style darling."

The purpled haired telepath smiled knowing what she was referring to. As the only other girl that grew up rich she knew what Emma's lift style was like, "You can count on it luv, and don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"Which would be what?" Emma asked her in good humor. The other telepath just gave her a grin.

She hugged Jean next, "Well looks like you'll be the next to walk down the isle, hope this helped to prepare you for what's to come."

Jean smiled as they broke the hug, "Oh trust me I learned a lot about how to plan my own wedding with Scott. I hope you two have a great time."

"Oh trust me darling I plan to," Emma did a small laugh, something she did a lot more these days. She then looked at the three people that Vince brought in. These were his friends and in a way his 'family' from back home. She hugged each and every one of them. She also realized how out of character it was to be so open with her emotions but she was just so happy.

She was married to a wonderful man, their wedding night and that morning in the shower was fantastic and she was off to see the world with her new husband to live it up before they came back and she had her first born child. That last one was a miracle in itself, when she had learned she had been infertile there had been this hollow feeling inside of her, now thanks to Jack she was going to have a baby.

"I'm glad you all came," She said to them all.

"Same here," Mary said with a smile, "And I really hope you can take care of him. He's got a knack for getting into trouble."

"Hey!" Vince protested to his best friend growing up while Emma smiled and nodded to her. Everyone waved them off as they drove away. While Mr. Kansuke and the other young guests went to pack up for later that day the others started to move off.

Kitty was on her own at the moment just wondering the halls happily humming to herself. She was still happy from that wedding party, it was just so nice to have something that nice happen to them for once after all that they had gone through. Although she was thankful she didn't suffer as bad as some of the others she still had nightmares.

Some about her being powerless to help the others while others were of her strapped down and Sinister examining her again. She had never felt so violated or dirty after that 'examination' of his. Sure nothing sexual happened but still she had never had anything like that happen to her. But one thing she did get out of it was that she was sick of being the 'helpless little girl'.

She was the smallest of the X-Men, and her powers weren't on a scale to many of the others. But all that training she had gone through, and that final battle where she pushed herself and used those weapons along with her powers made her realize she wasn't as weak as she had thought. Kitty had been thinking for a bit of asking Betsy to help train her in hand to hand, she wanted to be prepared.

'But enough of that,' She shook her head as she was still thinking to herself. 'I can do that a little later, there's still my last year of high school to finish and that starts in two weeks.'

Kitty groaned remembering that but at least it was the last year of high school. Then she could go to the college Scott and Jean went to. She wanted to be here because it was a nice place and she still wanted to keep up her training and the Danger Room was the best place for that. Besides Piotr was living here and she wanted to see him more then just on weekends if she moved to the campus.

Kitty walked into the living room seeing a few people there. Bobby and Jubilee were cuddled up together talking and laughing about something. She smiled seeing how cute they looked, it was strange seeing everyone paired up but when you live together for years and fight together and go through the things they did it was only natural to get close to everyone.

Especially to a certain someone as well.

She found Kurt watching the TV so she just jumped down next to him, "Hey fuzzy what's up? You ready for the last year of high school?"

Kurt grinned at her, "Ja I am, I am getting a bit tired of how ve're looked at and talked at zhere."

Kitty sighed and nodded, sure it wasn't as bad as when mutants first came out but it wasn't like in the old days when they were just seen as normal kids. 'God old days, I sound like an old maid and I'm only eighteen.'

"Although I've been thinking the first break we get I want to take Piotr to meet my folks," She confessed to him, Kurt was one of the easiest people to talk to and to open up about. "I mean I've told them already."

"How did zhat go?" He asked interested mainly because of his own family wanted to visit. He just knew when they got here it would open up a lot of things. His biological mother, and he knew he wouldn't hide his pain from them. Not from his mother she raised him and knew him too well.

"Well…" Kitty trailed off a bit remember the long talk with her mother. "My mother was a little…uh…surprised to find out I'm dating an older boy. Thankfully he's only two years older, but then my mother was concerned that he wasn't Jewish."

"Zhat a problem?"

"Not really she's just worried about things like how will the wedding be, how will we raise the kids…" She stopped seeing his look. "Yeah I know my mother likes to plan ahead believe me I'm not wanting either soon."

Kurt had to shake his head in amusement at that, although he hoped his own mother wouldn't be like that with Wanda. Well he knew that she really wanted to meet his girlfriend and she liked mainly everyone anyway.

"So what's on?" Kitty asked him looking at the TV.

Kurt shrugged his shoulders, "Not much."

She slumped in her chair at that, she was a bit bored now. Everything with the wedding was gone and now she just wanted to having something fun to do at the moment. Piotr was with Gambit and Warren doing something in the town. She wasn't sure what so there was no time to be with her big strong shy Russian man.

Wanda and Tabitha were off doing something, Rogue was flying with Mystique last she heard and she wasn't sure about the others. "God I hate boring days."

"Tell me about it," Jubilee spoke up hearing her, "Hey Bobby and me were going to hit the movie theatre you guys want to come with?"

Both Kitty and Kurt looked at each other, an afternoon movie didn't sound too bad to kill some time before dinner so to them it sounded like a nice time. "Sure vhy not?"

"Well I'm game, let me just go get some cash and I'll meet you guys in the front." The brunette said and phased through the couch then the wall.

Bobby just grinned, "Man that girl really doesn't like to waste time."

There was a 'bamf' sound as he turned to see Kurt gone and some smoke left in his wake. "Him too," Jubilee said as she got up. Although Jubilee was looking forward to it Bobby had wanted to get his girlfriend alone in the theatre and maybe sit in the back and not watch the movie.

He mentally sighed to himself, 'Oh well there's always another time. Maybe the movie will be dull and she'll want to make it more interesting.' That put a grin on his face he just hoped Kitty and Kurt didn't sit too close to them, having an audience with making out with his girlfriend wasn't really that cool to him.

But he had earned some extra cash at the wedding and was looking forward to spending some of it. 'Oh well the Hellfire goons are dead or gone, we got nothing to worry about, I got a hot girlfriend and cash to blow. Things are looking up for once and I'm going to enjoy it all.'

-15 hours later-

Emma and Vince had a long flight, first class though since Emma refused to travel coach class to anywhere. Although the few hours in flight hadn't been easy on her stomach as she felt a little sick at one point. She asked her new husband to remind her to get something for their next flight. After a few hours in flight plus the some time in the air port they caught a cab.

Both of them enjoyed the sites as they road in the tropical climate. For Vince the only time he was outside of Canada was when he was now living in the US at the mansion. Although he was thinking of getting a dual citizenship just to make it more easy.

Emma had been over to a few places while she had been a willing servant of the Hellfire Club but mainly just in the US boarders. They both wanted to take this opportunity to explore the world before they settled down to have a family life.

They had gotten there just about midday although from the jet lag they were a little eager to stretch out. The cab moved to the hotel resort they were staying at. It was a beautiful twelve story building with a large pool and another with a bar in the center of it. There was a beach just next to it and the whole place was just amazing.

Vince looked out over the area, he had never thought he'd see a place like this or feel the heat. He was glad he packed some lighter clothing the jeans he was in were starting to itch a bit. They checked in pretty easily and the inside was just as impressive as the outside if not more so.

Large pillars with a water fountain in the center of the reception area. After checking in and getting their keys someone was brought over to help bring their luggage up with them. Just a tanned skinned native of the land that worked there is seemed, mainly in just shorts and a T-shirt with tropical style to it.

Emma unlocked her door but just when she was about to do in Vince gently grabbed her arm and stopped her, "What is it?"

He grinned at her, "Tradition." Was the only thing he said before scooping her up in his arms. She was taken by surprise but didn't object to it. Even though she liked being the strong woman that she was it was nice from time to time to have him do little things like this as he carried her over the threshold.

He put her down as he looked over the place while Emma tipped the man. It was sure a lavish place but then he didn't expect any less from Emma. He looked to see a three room suit. The living room area a bathroom to the left so he decided to take a look. There was a shower and a large tub that he was sure had water jets in it.

He went back into the living room area and looked at the sliding doors that led to a balcony. He walked out to it feeling the warm sun and wind on his face. He gripped the railing and closed his eyes hearing the ocean and smelling the slight salty taste in the air from the ocean. He had never seen the ocean before today.

He opened his light blue eyes to see the view. It looked over the beach area and the very nice water. He was a bit apprehensive about the beach, knowing full well Emma would want him to be in bathing suit but then he just knew he'd get looks from all the scarring. Hank had been trying to actually help him remove a few although some had faded over time to more of white lines.

Although the thought of Emma in a bikini was tempting, he also knew she'd get the attention of other men. Well as long as they looked and didn't touch her or bothered her. He knew just how much of an effect she had on men with her looks and even though it did bother him of others thinking of her with dirty thoughts he didn't let it bother him.

Being jealous or overprotective was a surefire way of pushing her away so he just accepted it.

"Vince?" Came Emma's voice calling out to him. He pushed off the rail and walked inside to the nice air conditioned suit. He looked around for her but didn't see her.

"Emma?" He asked out loud.

"In here," She called to him. He looked in the direction of what he assumed was the bedroom. He also noticed something that surprised him. Emma's top was on the door handle.

'Man she sure doesn't want to waste any time,' He thought knowing what she was up to. He knew Emma was a very sexual person and he was glad that he had all that energy stored in his body all the time. If not he wasn't sure if she could keep up with her.

But then again he had never been with any woman intimately, he had literally married the first woman that slept with him. But hey he wasn't complaining about that. He took the top in and opened the door a bit more.

He saw her pants there on the floor and in the large room there was a nice thick rug at the foot of the bed and the bed itself was a king sized one. He really didn't pay any attention to the rest of the room until much, much later. Mainly due to the beautiful blond on the bet only in a bra and thong panties looking seductively at him.

'Damn she is so beautiful.' He thought to himself, he had already memorized every part of her body but he didn't care he still looked.

Emma smiled feeling his thoughts in her mind, she knew that he loved her more then just for her looks. He saw past all that to who she was in the inside. But it was also nice to have a killer body and knowing it really pleased her husband and lover. "I think you're a bit over dressed Mr. Freeman." She grinned at him looking very hungrily at him but not for food.

Vince smiled to himself taking off his shirt, "I think I can remedy that Miss. Freeman."
