It had been a glorious first year of marriage for Nick and Molly Dyson. They had taken a wonderful honeymoon in Maui and Molly had gone into business with Daniel after they returned from Hawaii. Counter Fit was booming and Molly's Bridal and Marriage Boot Camp classes were more popular than ever. Overall, it had been a great first year and today was their one year anniversary.

Nick woke up the morning of their anniversary and rolled over to find a still sleeping Molly next to him. He kissed her temple and she stirred but didn't awaken. He got up and out of bed and their yellow lab, Lucy, lifted her head, "Hi girl," Nick whispered, petting her head. Nick and Molly had adopted Lucy from a shelter six months ago as a part of Molly's Christmas present. The little lab had been three months old at the time and they had both instantly fallen in love with the little fur ball. She had quickly captured both of their hearts and easily became a beloved member of the Dyson family. Lucy followed Nick down the stairs and he filled her bowls with food and water. He knew he wanted to make breakfast in bed for Molly and he knew he wanted to make her favorite, blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs. Simple, yes, but he also wanted to make the day special for her. He heard Molly come down the stairs and he turned to face her, "Good morning, sweetheart."

"Good morning," she said and took a seat at the island. She inhaled a deep breath and wrinkled her nose, "Nicholas Dyson, what in the world are you making?"

He sighed, "I was going to surprise you by making blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs and letting you have breakfast in bed for our anniversary, but…"

"That's okay, sweetheart," Molly grabbed his hand. She smiled and said, "Happy anniversary."

Nick leaned over the island and kissed her, "Happy anniversary."

"Honey, I know you want to make today special, but can we please have just pancakes and no eggs?" she asked sweetly.

"Of course," he smiled. Thankfully, he hadn't started the eggs, "Still feeling a little off?" he questioned. Molly had been feeling a little run down for the past week, barely making it through her boot camp classes. She had also been feeling a little queasy here and there with occasional vomiting. He wondered if she had a mild case of the stomach flu.

Molly sighed, but nodded. Nick could normally tell when she was lying, "A little," she admitted honestly.

"Sweetheart, we don't have to go to Crater Lake if you don't feel up to it," said Nick, "I can call the lodge and tell them you're too sick to go and let Rennie and Lisa know they don't need to watch Lucy tonight."

Molly shook her head adamantly, "No, I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" asked Nick in concern.

"Positive," Molly gave him a small smile, "Right now, the fresh air and exercise will be good for me."

Nick was slightly confused, but nodded in agreement. After breakfast, the couple made the four hour drive from Portland to Crater Lake. Nick was worried about Molly the entire drive, not because of the hike ahead; on the contrary, she was probably more in shape than he was for it. But Nick still had the feeling Molly was hiding something from him. Once they arrived at Crater Lake, they gathered their gear (Nick had brought his camera, of course) and they checked into the Crater Lake Lodge for their overnight stay. They went up to their room to settle in before their hike, "Oh Nick, it's beautiful," Molly exclaimed wistfully as she gazed out the window. Nick noticed she had a few tears in her eyes.

Nick came up beside her and kissed her cheek, "Well, I'll have two gorgeous views tonight."

"Nick," Molly scolded lightly.

"What? It's true," he stated innocently.

Molly smiled and kissed him, "We should get going so we're not out on the trails too late."

"Okay, let me go grab my things and we'll get going," said Nick.

Molly nodded and snuck her present for Nick into her backpack before they left the room. They spent most of the afternoon out on the trails, stopping for lunch before they finally reached the lake. The scenery was absolutely stunning, so Nick took the opportunity to take some pictures for his upcoming show. He hadn't failed to notice how quiet Molly had been most of the day, "Is something wrong, sweetheart?" he finally asked.

A lump formed in Molly's throat, but she shook her head, "No, it's just...I need to tell you something."

Nick put his camera away and gave her his full attention, "What's up?"

Molly sighed and pulled a card along with a small, slender box out of her backpack, "Babe, I know we decided to wait until we got back to the room to exchange gifts, but I wanted to make this moment memorable," Molly handed Nick the card and the small box, "Open the card first."

Nick did as instructed. He read the message out loud, "To Daddy on his anniversary, I can't 'weight' to meet my new gym partner," he slowly ended the phrase. He glanced up at Molly, who motioned for him to open the box. He did so and found a small, white stick; a small, white stick that clearly read, 'pregnant', "Oh Molly, are we…are you?" Molly didn't say anything, but instead, smiled and nodded excitedly, "I'm going to be a Daddy?" Molly nodded again, grinning from ear to ear. Nick grinned from ear to ear as well and pulled his wife closer to him, "Sweetheart, this is so wonderful!"

"So you're excited?" Molly finally spoke. Sure, Nick and she wanted children, but they had both decided to wait until after they were married a year before they started trying for a baby, so this pregnancy wasn't exactly planned.

"Of course I'm excited," Nick leaned back and cupped her face in his hand, "I couldn't be more thrilled."

The tears that had been welling up in Molly's eyes finally spilled loose. It was really happening. They were about to become parents. She had no idea whether she would be a good Mommy yet, but she was thrilled for this new adventure she would get to take with Nick. They made their way back to their room where Nick gave her his present, a necklace with a heart-shaped pendent, before they changed into their pajamas and settled in for the night. Nick wrapped his arms around Molly and kissed her temple. She didn't feel the overwhelming desire to say anything at the moment, but instead just enjoy feeling loved by her husband. Finally, Nick broke the silence and said, "Thank you for my anniversary present."

Molly chuckled a little and answered, "Well, I'm pretty sure you contributed to that one, Nicholas Dyson."

"Okay, you got me there," he kissed her and rubbed her belly soothingly, "But I'm still glad you're going to give me a beautiful baby."

Molly rolled over onto her back and Nick kissed her belly, "Happy anniversary, Nicholas Theodore Dyson. I love you so much."

"Happy anniversary, Molly Elizabeth Dyson. I love you too. And if you don't mind, I'd like to show you how much I love you."

"Gladly," she whispered.
