Walking back form the bathroom, Rachel quietly got back into bed, so as not to wake a sleeping Kyle. The feeling of her next to him, caused Kyle to shift as he opened his eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," Rachel said.

"It's okay," Kyle said, "Is it morning?"

"It is," Rachel said, "It's still early though, the sun is just coming up."

"What a horrible night," Kyle said.

"Did you sleep much?" Rachel said.

"Not really," Kyle said, "I lost count of the number of times I had to use the bathroom."

"Me too," Rachel said, "Are you feeling any better?"

"Things feel a little more settled," Kyle said, "How are you?"

"I feel better too," Rachel said.

"That was rotten timing to get sick," Kyle said.

"I know," Rachel said, "But at least we had each other to get through it. I'm sure the worst of it is over."

"But this is supposed to be our honeymoon," Kyle grumbled.

"I say we take it easy today and then we still have a couple more days to get this honeymoon back on track," Rachel said.

"Sounds like a plan," Kyle said, "So, we can just stay in bed for now?"

"I think we need the rest," Rachel said, "Then tomorrow, we can stay in bed too." She smiled at him.

"I'm already looking forward to it," Kyle said, "We might even feel completely better by tonight."

"You never know," Rachel said.

As she lay beside him, Kyle noticed Rachel was quiet. "What are you thinking about?" Kyle said.

"I was wondering how things are going to be when we get back home," Rachel said.

"What do you mean?" Kyle said.

"Our living situation," Rachel said, "We were going to get our own place. Don't get me wrong, I like the main house and your Dad and Traci, but what about our plans to renovate the pool house?"

Wanting to keep his secret about the renovations under wraps, Kyle said, "We can still do that."

"It's going to take a lot of planning and hiring the right people to do the work and it could take months before everything is ready for us to move in," Rachel said.

"Don't worry," Kyle said, "It will be our home. Maybe sooner than you think."

"What does that mean?" Rachel said.

"Nothing," Kyle said, "I was just thinking out loud."

"No, you are up to something," Rachel said.

"I haven't told you how beautiful you look today," Kyle said.

"After last night, I'm sure I look pretty terrible," Rachel said. Kyle shook his head. "And don't change the subject," Rachel continued, "What's going on?"

Kyle paused and then sighed. "It was supposed to be a surprise," he said.

"I like surprises," Rachel said.

"Then stop asking questions, so I can still pull this one off," Kyle said.

"You can't do that," Rachel said, "When you tell me you're doing something special, and then drop the subject. Just give me a hint."

"No way," Kyle said.

"Oh, come on," Rachel said, "Just one little hint." Rachel walked her fingers up his arm as she spoke.

"Okay," Kyle said, "This much I can tell you."

"Which is?" Rachel said.

"I love you," Kyle said.

"That's it?" Rachel said, "That's your hint?"

"Yes," Kyle said.

"You are going to make me wait until we get home, aren't you?" Rachel said.

"Yes," Kyle said again.

"Okay," Rachel said, "Your surprises are usually great. Even though you are going to make me wait through a few more days and a long flight over the ocean, I still love you too."

"That reminds me," Kyle said, "We should make an adjustment to our flight home. It will be a long time before we board that same airline again."

"Rey," Lola said, as she opened her apartment door, "I wondered when you would be by."

"You were expecting me?" Rey said.

"After the way I behaved at the wedding reception, I knew you would be back to talk about it," Lola said, "I know I made a bad scene and I am so embarrassed."

"You were hurting and although you did not deal with it in the best way, I understand," Rey said.

"How could you understand, when I don't," Lola said.

"You have had some outbursts in the past year," Rey said.

"What are you getting at?" Lola said.

"Not just the wedding incident, you had a public physical fight with Rachel at the coffeehouse," Rey reminded.

"I've done some things I am not proud of," Lola said, "I just want Kyle to take me back. If he would only give me a chance, he would see how happy we could be."

"Lola, the man is married," Rey said, "I know it's hard but it's time to let go."

"I've tried everything I can to get him back," Lola said.

"Like what?" Rey said, "Have you done something I don't know about?"

"Yes," Lola said, "This might have been the worst thing I've done."

A security guard stood in the corner of the interrogation room, while Simon Black sat at a table, hands cuffed in front of him.

Simon looked up as Paul entered the room. "Mr. Black," Paul said.

"Chief Williams," Simon said, "Always a pleasure."

Paul sat across from him and focused on Simon who remained quiet. "Alright," Paul said, "What is this urgent matter you need to discuss with me?"

Simon paused, watching Paul, weighing the impact his words would have on the future. "I have something to say," Simon said, "I think you will find it most interesting."

"Oh, this feels really nice," Kyle said, as he lay back on the beach, in the warmth of the sun.

"I think it's just what we needed," Rachel said.

"I have to agree," Kyle said, "I could have a nap right here."

Observing a family of four further, down the beach, Rachel noted the children were Susie's age. She smiled as she watched them having fun.

"You know…" Rachel started.

"Umm?" Kyle responded.

"Susie's birthday is coming up in a few weeks," Rachel said, "Hard to believe it's her thirteenth."

"I hear they grow up fast," Kyle said.

"They do," Rachel said, "She wants to have a big birthday party."

"As she should," Kyle said.

"She likes the idea of having it at Kevin and Chloe's house," Rachel said, "Of course Bella will be there and she wants us to come, plus she would like to invite Faith and Fen."

"Of course," Kyle said.

"Which means Fen will bring Summer," Rachel said.

"I have no problem with that," Kyle said.

"Michael and Lauren will probably be there," Rachel said, "Sharon will probably bring Faith and I was thinking it might be nice if she were invited to stay. I thought it would be a good idea to invite Mariah too, Susie likes her. I thought about maybe Tessa."

"You want her to come?" Kyle said, pulled fully awake at the idea.

"So, she wasn't completely honest about her brother, but ultimately she did talk him down and save your life," Rachel said.

"That may be," Kyle said, "But I don't think she will be able to come."

"Why do you say that?" Rachel said.

"I wasn't going to mention it, because I didn't want to upset you," Kyle said, "I don't think we know Tessa as well as we thought." Kyle pulled out his phone and showed Rachel the police report.

"She was arrested?" Rachel said.

"Looks like she was working with her brother on everything he was up to," Kyle said.

Rachel read the report over, "Kidnapping, physical harm, accessory to attempted murder? Do this mean what almost happened to you?"

"I'm not sure," Kyle said.

"She was my maid of honor," Rachel said, "How could she do this?"

"This is why I didn't want to tell you," Kyle said, "You are already getting upset."

"Yes, I'm upset," Rachel said, "Who knows what she might have done. If they were both after you…"

"I know what you're thinking," Kyle said, "I've been thinking the same thing. They could be responsible for our accident."

"I can't believe it could have been her," Rachel said.

"It could have been either of them," Kyle said, "Austin would be my bet."

"What is it that you have done?" Rey said.

"You will be ashamed of me," Lola said.

"No, I would never judge you," Rey said, "Just tell me what happened."

"One night," Lola said, "I was not myself and I ended up doing something I shouldn't have."

"Lola, you can tell me," Rey said.

"I'm afraid to admit it," Lola said, "But I threw myself at Kyle."

"Excuse me?" Rey said.

"I went to his house, to check on him when I found out he was not well," Lola said, "The conversation turned into me begging him to come back to us, pleading with him not to get married and the next thing I knew I had my arms around him and I was kissing him."

"What happened then?" Rey said.

"Rachel came home and caught us," Lola said, "She ordered me out of the house. Once again she ruined a chance for me and Kyle to reconcile."

"Lola if you have to beg and plead with a man for his affections, he is not worth your consideration," Rey said.

"You don't understand," Lola said, "When I kissed Kyle, he kissed me back. If she hadn't come home, we could have been back together."

"You don't honestly believe that," Rey said.

"I can't stand that woman," Lola said, "She ruined my life. If I never saw her again it would be too soon."

"Lola, I don't like to hear you talking this way," Rey said.

"I despise her," Lola said.

"Have you done anything else, I should know about?" Rey said.

"Why do I get the feeling you are asking me about a specific thing?" Lola said, "If you have something to say go ahead."

"Alright," Rey said, "I am going to ask you this and I would like an honest answer. Did you have anything to do with Kyle and Rachel's accident, the time they were run off the road?"

Eyes wide, Lola stared at her brother.

Checking messages on her phone, Tessa stood behind the kitchen counter in her apartment. As she sifted through, she came across a picture of her and Mariah. Their smiles representing happier times in their relationship. As if on cue, the door opened and Mariah appeared in the entranceway. Mariah took a couple of steps, in stopping when she saw Tessa.

"What are you doing here?" Mariah said.

"I live here," Tessa said.

"I thought you were behind bars," Mariah said.

"The charges were dropped," Tessa said, "I made a deal."

"It must have been some deal," Mariah said.

"I told them everything they wanted to know about Austin, in return for my freedom," Tessa said, "I'm surprised to see you here."

"I thought you wouldn't be, so I came to get some of my things," Mariah said.

"Oh, I see," Tessa said, "I can leave for awhile, if that makes you more comfortable."

"No, it' fine," Mariah said, "I will just grab a few things I need."

"Okay, I will stay out of your way," Tessa said.

"Rey, how could you accuse me such a thing!" Lola said.

"No one is accusing you of anything," Rey said, "I'm only asking if you had anything to do with the accident."

"You think it was me, don't you?" Lola said, "Why would you treat me like this?"

"Lola, calm down," Rey said, "The investigation is still open. Anyone who knew Kyle or Rachel is a suspect. If I did not ask you these questions, someone else would."

"You know how I feel about Kyle," Lola said, "I would never do anything to hurt him!"

"Jealousy can make a person do things they did not think they were capable of," Rey said, "In my line of work I've seen it many times."

"You think I went out in a jealous rage and tried to kill them?" Lola said, "What kind of a person do you think I am? You are my brother I thought you loved and trusted me."

"I do, Lola of course I love you," Rey said, "But I need you to tell me the truth. Did you have anything to do with this?"

"I am not justifying your question with an answer," Lola defiantly said.

"I understand you have been hurt by Kyle and Rachel," Rey said, "You have been treated unfairly. Is it possible you saw them together and it opened up that wound. I don't think you would try to kill anyone, maybe you just found yourself in a situation that got out of control."

"You do think I did it," Lola said.

"Did you?" Rey said.

"Of course not!" Lola said, "I would never do that to anyone! Do I hate that woman? Yes, I do, but I would never do anything to cause harm to Kyle. No matter how much he has hurt me." Lola's tears spilled out.

Going to her, Rey took her in his arms. "Okay," he soothed, "I'm sorry, I had to ask."

The sound of the ocean waves soothed, Kyle and Rachel as they took advantage of the lounge chairs outside their suite. Returning from the beach, Rachel had noticed Kyle was still tired from their ordeal the night before. She let him stretch out in the chair, while she went into the suite and retrieved some cool drinks. Entering the sitting area, she placed the drinks on a table between them.

"Thanks," Kyle said, taking a few sips, before flopping back against the chair.

Watching Kyle and having a taste of her own drink, Rachel said, "Are you sure you're feeling better?"

His eyes closed, Kyle said, "I'm fine. Just feeling a little tired."

"You know, I was thinking," Rachel said, "Maybe tomorrow, we could walk some of those trails and explore the canyons and waterfalls we have heard so much about."

Not getting a response, she said, "Kyle?" Peeking over, Rachel noticed Kyle had fallen asleep.

Smiling at the sight, Rachel mused, "I married an adorable guy." She stood up and darted into the suite.

A knocking sound from inside, jerked Kyle awake. Noticing his wife was no longer beside him, Kyle called out, "Rachel?"

Getting off the chair, he walked inside and said, "Rachel, are you…" Kyle stopped in his tracks at the scene before him.

Fear was in Rachel's eyes, as Austin held her tight, one arm around her waist the other hand on her neck.

"Let her go," Kyle said.

"Don't worry," Austin said, "I'm not really here. Your new bride is perfectly safe. For now."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Kyle said.

"I'm coming for her," Austin said, "For both of you."

"Don't make her a part of this," Kyle said.

"You did that when you let yourself fall in love with her," Austin said.

"Kyle…" Rachel whimpered.

"It's okay, I'm here," Kyle said, "I'm not going to let him hurt you."

"You can't protect her from me," Austin said, "I will take her from you. Rest assured she won't suffer much."

Austin's hand squeezed her neck, as Kyle cried out, "NO!"

Her husband's cries sent Rachel running back outside to him. "Kyle?" she said.

Kyle found himself, sitting sideways on the lounge chair, legs swung over the side. Rachel sat beside him, a comforting arm around his shoulders.

"You're okay," Kyle said, realization sinking in, that it had only been a dream.

"Oh, baby I'm okay," Rachel soothed, "Another bad dream?" Kyle nodded.

"Austin?" Rachel said.

"He was standing there, in our suite," Kyle said, "Except this time he was threatening to hurt you."

"This is the second time you have had a nightmare about him," Rachel said.

"Third," Kyle corrected.

"Austin Travers is behind bars, where he belongs," Rachel said, "He can't hurt us anymore."

"I know," Kyle nodded, before resting his head on her shoulder.

"We are safe now," Rachel said

"You have got to be kidding me," Rey said, as he stood in an empty interrogation room with Paul.

"He confessed," Paul said, "Made a compelling argument."

"And you believe him?" Rey said, "Because I just put my sister through the ringer, to see if she would tell me what happened. To which she denied having any involvement."

"Do you believe her?" Paul said.

"I wanted to," Rey said, "She hedged around all my questions at first and then got so upset before saying she did not do it. Now you are saying someone else came forward?"

"I have a signed confession," Paul said, "There's nothing else I can do."

"He realizes this is only going to add to the list of charges against him," Rey said, "He will serve a lot longer sentence now."

"Maybe that is for the best," Paul said.

Both men looked towards the opening door as a guard led a handcuffed Austin inside. Austin glanced back at the guard with distaste as he was forced into a chair, across the table from Paul and Rey.

"Thank you, we've got it from here," Paul said, instructing the guard to leave the room.

"He's not staying?" Austin said, "Something I said?"

"I have a question for you," Paul said.

"You hauled me all the way down here for a question?" Austin said.

"This concerns your future, so shut up and listen," Rey said.

"You don't like me, do you?" Austin said.

"Not in the least," Rey said.

"You have denied you were the driver who caused the accident the night Kyle and Rachel Abbott were run off the road and injured," Paul said.

"Because it wasn't me," Austin said.

"Why did you accuse Lola Rosales?" Paul said.

"She denied it, didn't she?" Austin said, "I knew she would."

"Where is your proof that she did it?" Rey said.

"I don't have any," Austin said, "But I saw Lola at the wedding. I saw how visibly uncomfortable she was and the way she ran out. The look in her eyes, watching the bride and groom say their 'I do's', was scary. If ever anyone wanted to hurt those two, right then she did."

"So you made it up," Rey said.

"Maybe," Austin said, "Maybe she's not being honest. What is the point of rehashing all of this?"

"Someone has come forward and confessed to the accident," Paul said, "Therefore we are dropping the careless driving and two counts of attempted murder charges against you."

Austin looked at Paul in surprise. "For real?" he said.

"Yes," Paul said.

"Who came forward?" Austin said.

"That is confidential," Paul said.

"So what happens now?" Austin said.

Rey stood up and approaching Austin, he undid his handcuffs, removing them from his wrists. Austin looked up at Rey, wondering if he was going to fight him.

"What's going on?" Austin said, "Even I know, those cuffs are supposed to stay on until I get back to my cell."

"You're not going back to your cell," Rey said.

"How's that?" Austin said.

"Someone has spoken on your behalf," Paul said, "Consequently you are being released."

"That's a really sick joke to someone serving jail time," Austin said.

"No joke," Paul said.

"You're telling me, I'm a free man?" Austin said.

"In a manner of speaking," Paul said, "There are conditions."

"Here it comes," Austin said, "The catch."

"You are being released on three year's probation," Paul said, "You will check in with your assigned parole officer, no less than twice daily. You no longer have the right to own a weapon and you must not break any laws."

"Doesn't sound so bad," Austin said.

"I see the wheels in your head turning," Rey said, "So, before you get any bright ideas, we will be monitoring you."

"You mean, through my parole officer," Austin said.

"That is only part of it," Paul said, "You will be fitted with an ankle monitor, courtesy of the state of Wisconsin."

"Also, you are not to leave the state, for the remainder of your probation," Rey said, "You are not to board a plane, train or bus out of state."

"You will have sessions with a licensed psychiatrist, three times a week for six weeks. At which time it will be reassessed if further sessions are required," Paul said.

"Is that really necessary?" Austin said.

"Mandatory," Paul smiled.

"What am I supposed to talk about?" Austin said.

"How about your panic attacks?" Rey said.

"Is that everything?" Austin said.

"You will be expected to have gain full employment," Paul said, "And not to worry, we have handled that for you. You also have been assigned a place to live and will not be allowed to change your address for the remainder of your probation."

"That's not necessary," Austin said, "I can stay with my sister."

"Not a good idea," Rey said, "We have found you an nice low income apartment."

"A hovel you mean," Austin said.

"You can put your own touches on the hovel," Paul said.

"However, let's be clear," Rey said, "If you miss one check in with your parole officer, one therapy session, one day of work, you will be right back here. If you harass, threaten or so much as shoplift, you will serve the rest of your sentence in jail."

Putting a form in front of Austin, Paul said, "Sign here and you can start your new life."

Austin was hesitating, so Rey said, "If you prefer you can stay here."

"You would like that, wouldn't you?" Austin said.

"Nothing would please me more," Rey said.

Austin affixed his signature on the required line, dropping the pen on the table when he was done.

"Someone will be in shortly to get you settled," Paul said, as he and Rey headed for the door.

"Oh and one more thing," Rey said, "You stay away from my sister."

"Or I'll find myself back in jail," Austin said.

"No," Rey said, "You will find yourself dealing with me."

Left alone in the interrogation room, Austin nodded as he smiled.

Walking in from the patio of the suite, Rachel observed Kyle coming from the bathroom. "You're not sick again, are you?" she said.

"No, that's all over," Kyle said, "I was just splashing some cold water on my face."

"Good," Rachel said, "Do you remember we made a promise to do something special on our honeymoon?"

Taking her hands and putting his face close to hers, Kyle said, "We made a promise to do lots of things." He kissed her neck.

"Aside from that," Rachel smiled, "We said we would surprise each other with something we could do together."

"Um-huh," Kyle said, nuzzling her cheek.

"Kyle," Rachel said, slightly pulling back, "Focus."

"Oh, I'm focused," Kyle said.

"On what I'm saying," Rachel said, "The surprises."

"You think I forgot right?" Kyle said, "It just so happens, your surprise is all set for tomorrow."

"Is it?" Rachel said, "Well, your surprise is right now."

"Ooh," Kyle smiled, "I can hardly wait."

Leading him by the hand, Rachel and Kyle entered the patio, where Kyle smiled at the sight that greeted him.

"Wow," Kyle said, in reaction to the arrangement of candlelight, complete with wine and two glasses. "You did all this?" Kyle said.

"I did," Rachel said.

"It's a very romantic surprise," Kyle said.

"It's not over," Rachel said, leading him to the lounge chairs. Settling in, to share the cushion, Rachel poured the wine and handed him a glass.

"Is your plan to get me drunk and take advantage of me?" Kyle teased.

"I don't have to get you drunk to seduce you," Rachel said.

"What do we toast to?" Kyle said.

"To always be in love as much as we are right now," Rachel said.

After a quick kiss, Kyle said, "Also to many, many more beautiful moments like this one." The couple clinked glasses as they took a drink.

"I love your surprise," Kyle said.

"There's more," Rachel said, "Just look out there."

"What are we looking at?" Kyle said.

"The sky," Rachel said, "The sun is about to set and I hear it's breathtaking."

"You know what this reminds me of," Kyle said, "The time we danced under the stars."

"That was the first time you kissed me," Rachel said.

"That wasn't the only thing we did for the first time together," Kyle said.

"You're right," Rachel said, "It was pretty magical."

"Every moment with you is magic," Kyle said.

"Speaking of magic," Rachel said, "The show is starting."

"That really is something," Kyle said.

Rachel cuddled into Kyle's arms as they took in the beautiful view of the sunset.

Settling her bag on her shoulder, Mariah said, "I will be back for the rest of my things another time."

As Mariah headed for the door, Tessa said, "Mariah? I could put on some coffee. Maybe we could talk."

"I don't think so," Mariah said.

"Could you stay for a little while?" Tessa said, "I would really like to talk with you."

"What else is there to say?" Mariah said, annoyance in her tone.

"I have some things to say," Tessa said, "Just give me a chance. Later you can still go if you want to."

Something about Tessa's tone and the pleading look in her eyes, made Mariah change her mind. Putting her bag down, she said, "Alright, say what you have to."

"Can we sit?" Tessa said, gesturing to the couch.

Mariah sat on the other end from Tessa, hands clenched in her lap.

"Thank you for staying," Tessa said, "Since my arrest, I have been doing a lot of thinking. I want to start with how sorry I am that I lied to you and hurt you this way."

"Tessa, I know you say you're sorry and I know how seductive Austin's games can be," Mariah said, "But what I can't get past is your love for another woman. It's her you want to be with."

"That's not true," Tessa said, "I only thought I did. You see, Rachel and I were great friends from the start. Yes, I was attracted to her, but I knew she did not feel the same and we got along so well, just friends was okay with me. It was Austin. He saw that affection and he used it to his advantage. He told me over and over, he had a plan and how happy I would be with Rachel. He made a future with her sound so enticing that he convinced me I was in love with her."

"You make it sound like he brainwashed you," Mariah said.

"Austin has such control over me," Tessa said, "I lost sight of our love. Every time I struggled to hold on to it, Austin pushed me towards Rachel. I don't think it was for my benefit at all, but a way to punish Kyle, by taking away the woman he loved."

"Why didn't you walk away from him?" Mariah said.

"I tried," Tessa said, "When I told him I wanted nothing more to do with his plans for revenge, he would threaten me."

"He threatened to hurt you?" Mariah said.

"No, he threatened to hurt you," Tessa said, "He said he would ruin you, make you hate me. It looks like he succeeded on that second part."

"I don't hate you Tessa," Mariah said, "I'm disappointed. You didn't trust me enough to help you get free of him."

"I was lost," Tessa said, tears falling, "I felt like I was drowning in this fantasy that Austin pushed me into. I wasn't happy and I realized the last time I was truly happy was with you. I did it all for you to keep you safe. You are the love of my life. I hope one day you can forgive me."

Tessa's head was down, as her tears fell, when she felt Mariah touch her hand. Looking over at her, Mariah said, "I'll have that coffee now."

"Does that mean…?" Tessa said.

"We have a lot to work out," Mariah said, "But I am willing to try." Mariah held her arms out, as Tessa collapsed into them.

"I'm so sorry," Tessa wept.

"I know," Mariah said, "I forgive you." Mariah's admission made Tessa cry harder.

Mariah settled Tessa's tears, and said, "Okay, if we are going to have a good pot of coffee, we both know, I should be the one to make it."

Tessa smiled and laughed through her tears. "It's all okay," Mariah said, as she stood to make the coffee.

"Mariah?" Tessa called her back, "I love you."

Stepping back towards her Mariah said, "I love you too." They shared a quick kiss.

Mariah walked back into the kitchen, as Tessa took a few deep breaths to settle herself. The sound of the doorbell sent Tessa to answer, wiping away her few remaining tears. As Tessa pulled on the door handle the sight that greeted her made her scream and back away.

Mariah rushed towards her stopping her tracks, when she saw their visitor.

"Good evening ladies," Austin said, "Miss me?"

Mariah and Tessa shared an uneasy glance, as Austin smiled at them.
