Revealing The Surprise-Part I

There is one of them. Ana thinks pulling out one of the sets of lingerie that Abby had gifted her. It was the red teddy body suit one with the deep v neck. How I did this miss this? She thinks to herself. She did pack a lot of luggage for the honeymoon trip and realized she must have overlooked this set. She looks through that suitcase to try and find the wedding one, but she doesn't see it. She figured maybe she had missed packing that set. I guess that's what I get for bringing a ton of luggage on this trip and packing too much stuff. She thinks and smiles. Oh, well at least I can wear this red set for Fen later.

A few minutes later Fen appears in the bedroom at the resort.

"You almost packed up and ready to go Ana?" He asks.

She nods. "Just about." She smiles at him. "And I found something you'd like…" She teases him.

"What's that?" He asks smiling.

She lightly rubs his shoulder. "I'll show you later…" She promises him.

He nods. "Okay." He says. "And I have something that I'm going to show you…?" He also teases, thinking about his surprise for her.

"Oh, yeah?" Ana asks.

He nods again. "Yeah, but I will also show you that later. But right now, we need to get ready to catch our flight." Ana finishes up packing and they head to the airport. They had enjoyed their time in Greece together, and had taken a lot of pictures from the memories they had created. They had already started to fill up the scrapbook that Mattie had given them as a gift.

Ana and Fen had really enjoyed themselves and was looking forward to telling their loved ones about their trip. They relax on their flight home, chatting and enjoying each other's company. They arrive in the airport outside of GC and head towards their car, they had left there. As they are putting their luggage in the car, Fen reaches into one of his suitcases and pulls something out.

He looks at Ana and smiles mischievously.

"Hey, Ana…" He states.

"Yes…" Ana asks turning around after she had finished getting her luggage in the car.

"Can you wear something for me?" He asks, with his hands behind his back.

Ana makes a face. "Wear something for you?" She asks curiously. "A thought then hits her. "Oh, so you know I found it…" She says thinking about the lingerie.

"Found what?" Fen asks curiously.

A confused look comes across Ana's face and she notices his hand is behind his back. "I thought, you knew… What's behind your back?" She asks.

He smiles and then pulls out his hand and shows it to her.

"This." He says showing her the blindfold, grinning.

"What…" Ana reaches out and touches his hand, looking at the blindfold. "A blindfold, Fen…." She looks up at him. "What is this for?"

"For you." He informs her, cryptically. "I want you to wear it." He repeats.

Ana raises an eyebrow. "Why…" She asks. She laughs. "And now? Uh Fen…" She begins not sure of what Fen's plans were regarding the blindfold.

He notices her hesitation and laughs. "It's nothing to worry about, babe." He assures her. "It's time for me to give you my surprise." He tells her.

"Oh…" Ana says nodding. "And you want me to put that on, so you can give it to me?" She clarifies.

"Yes." Fen confirms. "And take you to see it."

"Oh, okay…" Ana says. "But can I put it on later?" She asks. "Can we go home first. Let's unload this luggage and sit down for a moment and unwind." She suggests. "And then you can take me to my surprise."

Fen shakes his head. "I need to take you to it now." He states firmly.

"Really…" Ana looks at him skeptically.

He looks at her again a bit amused by her hesitation.

"Yeah, now, Ana." He says. He laughs again. "You were pressing me to give it to you on our honeymoon, but now that I want to give it to you, you don't want it." He shakes his head. "Is this our first disagreement as a married couple?" He jokes. "No, wait that was about us disagreeing about Octopus being tasty...'

Ana crosses her arms. "It's not that I don't want it, I just uh… I didn't expect I'd have to wear a blindfold to get it. You couldn't gift wrap it, so I don't have to do all of this." She questions.

"Well, you know I do things sometimes a bit unorthodox, but it works out." Fen reminds her. "Especially when it comes to my surprises for you." He reminds her. "But come over here and let me tie this around you, so I can give you your surprise." He instructs. "Don't rain on this parade, wifey."

Ana sighs. "Uh… what did I get myself into...?" She asks and then smiles.

Fen's eyes beam. "I'm not asking you to wear this to lead you into trouble." He teases. "I'm not a pirate and am not going to make you walk a plank like they had people do a long time ago. Or in the movies, like Pirates of the Caribbean." He jokes. "You saw those movies, right?"

Ana nods. "Yeah, I did."

"Well, it's not that type of thing." He holds out his hand towards her. "I promise…, and I want you to trust me on this."

Ana gives him another look. "Oh, Alright." She agrees, taking his hand. They then get into the car together and he hands her the blindfold to put on. She ties it around her eyes and he makes sure it is secure. When that's done, Fen looks at her approvingly." "It looks great on you and it goes with your dress." He jokes.

Ana smiles and shakes her head. "I hope I don't look weird, but you said to trust you on this…"

"You look great as always, Ana." Fen compliments her. "And it's worth it…"

"Uh-huh…" Ana replies. "This surprise of yours Fen… it…."

"It better be good." Fen fills in, imitating her voice and they laugh. He then starts the car and they drive out of the airport parking lot.

He turns on the radio to Ana's favorite station. She leans back against the seat and rests, enjoying the sound of the music.

"I can't wait to go home…" Ana admits to Fen as they are driving. "The trip was great, but I just want to unwind and relax." She sighs happily. "And start taking over your place…" She teases him.

"Our place." Fen interjects.

"Our place." Ana repeats. "I've still got to get used to saying that."

"You will." Fen responds.

"And you will get used to it too." Ana declares. "I still have more stuff to move in, but I will get it there." She informs him. "Some of your closest space is about to shrink…" She teases him. "You're going to have to make way for all of my shoes and outfits."

"I'll live." He responds smiling. They talk some more and then Ana sits up.

"I am so thirsty." She remarks. "I haven't had anything to drink since we've been on the plane."

Fen looks around. "And we don't have any water in the car." He observes. "You want me to stop and get you a bottle?" He asks.

She nods. "Yeah, if there's a store nearby." Fen then looks at their GPS. "It looks like a convenience store is just right up the road." He notes. "I will stop there." They drive a little more and get to the convenience store. Fen also decides to buy some gas. He pumps the gas and pays for it with his card and then heads inside to get Ana her water. While he is going to get her water and some snacks, he bumps into a familiar person.

"Fen, hi." Schuyler tells him. She had just stopped at the convenience store as well to get gas and a drink.

"Hey Schuyler." He returns her smile.

"You, uh... back from your honeymoon?" She asks curiously.

He nods. "Yeah, I am. I enjoyed it." He reveals to her happily.

"That's good." She says a bit nervous at seeing him again. Schuyler's attack of Lily at the wedding was still running through her mind and she hoped that Fen never found out about that. Plus, he looked so handsome and happy and she was still a bit wistful that she couldn't have a chance with him. But she tried to push that feeling aside and act normal in front of him right now.

"Well, I'm uh…glad." She tells him. "I'm glad you had fun…"

"We did." He assures her. He then rubs his hands together and gives her a wink. "And now I'm about to give Ana her surprise." He tells her.

"Oh, you're doing that now." Schuyler responds.

"I kind of have too." Fen laughs. "Now is a good time to give it to her."

"Oh, yeah…" Schuyler voice trails off. "Uh, is she with you?" She asks.

"She's in the car with a blindfold on…" Fen reveals to her.

"Oh, uh, okay…"

Fen laughs. "It's nothing weird going on." He assures her. "I just want her to be really surprised so I made her put it on." He informs her. "Though, she was a bit hesitant to do that at first."

"Well, uh she's very lucky at the lengths you want to go through to surprise her, with what is a very great gift." Schuyler responds, still wistful.

"Well, I consider myself lucky that she married me." Fen tells her.

"Uh-huh."

Fen then gestures towards Schuyler. "And thank you by the way…" He tells her.

"For what?" She asks.

"For helping me find the person, who helped make it possible for me to give Ana her surprise." Fen tells her gratefully. "She found something good for us. I think that Ana will love it… Well, I hope so." He expresses optimistically.

"Well, Sarah is a friend of mine and wanted some more business, and you came along and the rest is history…" Schuyler relays.

"She did a nice job. I appreciate her and you." Fen thanks Schuyler smiling.

Schuyler then smiles a bit touched by Fen's sincerity. She looks into his eyes. "You're welcome, Fen." She tells him. "Ana really does have a great guy on her hands." They talk a little more and then Fen lightly touches Schuyler's arm. "Thanks again." He tells her, getting ready to pay for the drinks and snacks.

"And if you ever need a recommendation for something like music or entertainment or even some sort of discount or hookup, let me know… I got you." Fen promises her. "Hamilton-Winters has some concerts coming up with some of our most popular artists. Maybe I can get you some discounts on tickets. Or maybe even some free tickets and some free backstage passes to an artist of your choice." He offers.

"Oh, uh thanks, I'll uh let you know if I'm interested." Schuyler responds.

"Cool, our list of concerts is up at our website." Fen informs her. "You should check it out." He then waves goodbye to her. "See you later." He tells her getting ready to pay for his stuff.

"See you." Schuyler answers, sighing heavily. She then watches as he stands in line. She stares at him for a bit more and then heads out of the store, shaking her head, at the wave of emotions that was going through her.

Fen pays for his stuff, and then heads out to the car. He gets inside.

"Well, you took a minute there." Ana remarks. "Long line?"

"Uh, I saw someone I knew from the GCAC." Fen tells her. "And I was just catching up with them."

"Oh, do I know them?" She asks.

He shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe... It's one of the servers that works there."

Ana nods. "Oh, okay. Maybe I've seen her around then."

Fen nods. "Maybe." He then turns his attention back to taking her to her surprise.

"Here's your water." He hands a bottle to her. "And here's some cashew nuts." He hands her a pack of them as well. "In case you want something to snack on, before we get home."

"Yeah, I could go for some cashews." Ana smiles. "You know I love my nuts." She expresses laughing.

"Yeah, I know how much you love nuts." Fen remarks. They both laugh. Ana takes a few sips of the water. And then Fen hands her the nuts, opening them for her. She enjoys some of them as they continue to drive.

"It feels like this drive is taking quite a bit of time." Ana observes as they are driving. "It feels like your place should be closer."

"Well, I do have to take you to get your surprise…" Fen reminds her.

"And that's farther away?" Ana asks.

"Yeah…" Fen answers in a cryptic manner.

They continue to drive and then Fen pulls into somewhere and stops the car.

"Are we here?" Ana asks curiously.

"Yes, we are." Fen tells her. He then gets out of the car and goes around to her door to open it. He helps her out of the car and grabs her by the hand and they walk on grass for a little while, with him leading her to a spot. They then stop.

"Okay, I want to show you now." Fen tells her. He then stands behind her and undoes her blindfold.

"Surprise!" He says as he rests his hands on her waist.

Ana opens her eyes to see what his surprise is for her.
