AN2: Some romance, fair warning in advance.
Remember the time we made love in the roses
And you took my picture in slow soft poses
How can I ever get over you
When I give my life for yours
I know we are we are the lucky ones
I know we are we are the lucky ones
I know we are we are the lucky ones
I know we are we are the lucky ones
Lucky, Bif Naked
Sara was driving home after a hard double shift. Things between Nick and her were much better. They had a long talk and they both came to an understanding. Deciding that their friendship was too important to waste because of the guy Sara was dating. Six months have passed since she and Hank had started dating. Tonight was their anniversary and although she didn't have anything planned, she wasn't so sure about Hank. She had called him earlier that morning to let him know she was pulling a double. He said that he understood and that he loved her. He said that they could always celebrate at another time. He mentioned that Thanksgiving was only a few weeks away and that he wanted her to go with him home to meet his parents and have Thanksgiving with his family.
She pulled her car into her usual spot. She felt a tinge of disappointment when she didn't see Hank's car anywhere.
'Oh well' she thought 'we'll just have to celebrate this weekend'. She walked to her apartment and noticed something was off. First, she noticed a light flickering under the door. She reached for the door and realized it was unlocked. She pulled out her gun and cautiously opened the door and quietly walked inside.
Rose petals and candles were spread throughout the apartment. The rose petals were scattered all on the floor and her furniture leading to the hallways. Candles were sitting in various places in her apartment. Needless to say Sara was shocked, so much that when Hank walked in she couldn't even move. She was still holding her gun out in front of her.
Hank stood in front of her, "Sara, honey, are you okay?" he asked
Sara couldn't speak, she could only nod.
"Do you like the roses and the candles?"
Once again, she could only nod.
Hank reached for her hand, which still held her weapon. "Why don't we put this down before one of us gets hurt?" He took the gun from her and set it down on the table in the entrance way.
"Do you like your anniversary present?"
Finding her voice she replied "This is the best present I've ever had"
She was so overcome with emotion, she began to cry. Hank pulled her into a hug.
"Well, you deserve it" he pulled back and stared into her eyes "I love you Sara"
She smiled through her tears, "I love you too"
"I hope you're hungry because I made your favorite dinner."
"Oh, you made a call to the China Buffet?" Sara said
Hank playfully smacked her arm, "funny, real funny Sar" He took her hand and began leading her to the kitchen, "why don't I just show you instead"
The wonderful smell of lasagna filled the air and she grinned, "You made lasagna. You hate lasagna"
Hank smiled, "Yeah well, you love it and I love you. I would do anything for you."
Sara pulled him close to her. She brought her hands to his face and pulled him into a savory and passionate kiss. Moments later they broke apart.
"Our food is gonna get cold" Hank whispered
"We have a microwave" she whispered back
Hank gazed at her, "are you sure? I don't want to push you into anything you're not ready for"
Sara took his hand, "I'm sure. I've never been so sure about anything else in my life"
Hank leaned down, his lips captured hers. He carefully picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed. He looked into her eyes giving her a chance to back out; instead she pulled him on top of her.
Sara awoke later that night. She felt a weight on her stomach. She glanced over and smiled. Hank was sound asleep. She felt so loved. At this moment in her life she felt complete.
"I love you so much" she whispered and snuggled closer to Hank.
She drifted back off to sleep, content and full of love.
