Well everyone, this is it. Tears in the Rain is officially complete and I have to say I find myself sort of sad… I first off have to thank Athena for her hard work and help in editing forty of these chapters. Without her, I can't imagine how this story would have read. LOL… I also have to thank Shama for all her help with the last few chapters – especially those action ones! And Thanks go to Manda, Missy, and Tina for the countless hours on Yahoo listening to my ideas (and frustration) with this. Thanks you guys!

But, the biggest thanks of all go to the readers! Especially all of you guys who stuck with this fic and read all 40 chapters! LOL…. Your feedback had been so inspiring and you really can not even begin to imagine how much it means to me. This was my first fic ever, and I started it right around the time I got rejected from a creative writing program, so naturally my confidence was down. But, all of you helped bring it back up and have been so amazing. Thank you so much!

Enjoy!

Chapter Forty

"Eeeeee! This is so exciting!" Natalie exclaimed happily as she and John stood at the ticket line for Disney World. John just pulled her closer and smiled at her enjoying her enthusiasm.

The surprise honeymoon that John had planned was a three night stay in Orlando so Natalie's dream of seeing Disney World could be fulfilled and then with his mothers help, he had found them a small beach house in the Florida Keys on the ocean that he had rented for the following week. His surprise had gone over very well with Natalie, who became ecstatic once she realized where he had taken her. In fact, she had spent many, many hours showing him just how happy she was!

Luckily for them the line moved quickly and soon they were walking thorough the park with their hands clasped tightly together. John had insisted that she have the "real" Disney experience so he bought her some Mickey Mouse ears and himself a disposable camera and took pictures of his wife with all the major Disney characters.

It wasn't until after a quick lunch of french fries and ice cream that they started to make their way toward the rides. Despite hating it, John dragged her on the "It's a small world" ride telling her it was just something everyone needed to experience. He was, however, very relieved when the ride ended and Natalie declared it was the most annoying thing she'd ever seen. They had just finished going through a Haunted House when Natalie stopped in front the Big Thunder Roller Coaster.

Looking up at what seemed to be a massive roller coaster, John quickly began shaking his head. "Oh No, there is no way you are getting me on that thing."

Laughing at his unmasked fear, Natalie pulled him close to her. "You are too cute John McBain."

John feigned being insulted, "Cute? I am not cute." Now smiling, John rested his head on her shoulder. "I mean it, I am not getting on that death trap no matter how much you beg and plead."

"You do realize that as we speak there is a group of seven year olds standing in line for it?"

"They lack of mental capacity to realize how crazy they are being."

Chucking, Natalie pulled out of the embrace and took his hand. "Well then today's you lucky day," she said as she gently tugged on his arm and began walking.

"You're not even going to try to get me on it? You know, 'cure' me of this fear?" John asked in confusion.

Natalie shook her head. "No point."

"Why's that?"

Biting back the smile that was forming, Natalie forced herself to remain nonchalant. "Because I can't go on any Roller Coasters anyway."

Now he was really confused. "Why not?"

She shrugged. "It's not recommended. Didn't you see the signs that were posted?"

Stopping, John turned away from her and looked at the signs that were posted in front of the entrance to the ride. "You don't have high blood pressure or neck problems…" But John suddenly trailed off as he slowly turned back around to face her. But noticing the wide smile on her face, John's eye's quickly lit up.

"So, what do you think, Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse stuff for the nursery?"

Finally understanding what she was telling him, John pulled her toward him and spun her around. Laughing, Natalie waited until she was back on her feet to speak. "John, if roller coasters aren't good for the baby then maybe we should avoid the whole spinning thing for the next 6 months."

"When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me?" John asked with a wide grin.

"I wanted it to be a surprise. I actually only found out a few days before the wedding. I suspected that I might be so I had Michael run a blood test just to be sure."

"That's why he was acting so weird at the reception!" John said remembering his brother's odd behavior with taking the champagne from Natalie. "We're going to have a baby!"

Her smile faded for a second and Natalie looked up at him with a serious look. "Is that okay with you? I mean we just got married and…" but John silenced her with a gentle kiss.

"Are you kidding me? You just proved that Disney really is the happiest place on earth!" John said playfully still holding her.

Laughing, Natalie kissed him. "I love you, John McBain."

"I love you too, Natalie McBain." Reaching down, John put a hand on Natalie's stomach and smiled. "I love you too, Baby McBain."

John took Natalie's hand in his and with matching grins of joy they continued walking, excited as to what their future would bring.
