However the two ended up flying, due to the fact that flying would be better for them. Once there, Lilly was taken aback by the choice of hotel that the two of them were staying in. It was quite beautiful; but nothing was compared to the oversized tub in their bathroom.
"No baths Lil, got things to do", which now caught Lilly totally off guard.
Slinking towards, him as she started to unpack, "Since when are you so eager to do things"?
He turned, but then Lilly noticed that her husband was just trying to peek her interests, "John you don't have to do everything I like, I prefer you the way you are".
This didn't help that much, "Not because of you, I've been feeling different since we've been together haven't even thought about work since we had gotten married".
Lilly was pretty surprised by all of this, "We'll your still bossing me around", saying it in a joking tone. John chuckled, "Why are we standing here, got things to do"; as the two went outside to explore the island.
Even they joined up with other couples, not once did Lilly regret about marrying him due to his age. In fact she was quite happy about her choice in a husband; and the fact that he still was fun to be around. What people didn't get was that he wasn't acting like another man his age; that was decked out in younger clothes.
Or the fact that John remained the man he always was; not even marriage could change that. Despite everything, the two of them remain distant from that couple; knowing that nothing could destroy their marriage.
Then that woman just happened to bump into Lilly, at a café, "That a result of invitro"?
"No", giving the woman one of her cold ice stares, "Just because I happen to be younger than my husband, doesn't mean I thing couldn't say the same for him" eyeing the other man singing badly off tune.
Even John raised his eyebrows, thinking that this guy was off his rocker. Not that he cared much about the other guy; whom probably just married his wife to feel younger. When Lilly arrived carrying their drinks, she sat down facing him.
Her eyes caught, another drink at another table, "Kind of wish I could have that, there's no way I would hurt this one".
As John drank some beer, he knew that his family had accepted her as is. Nobody had taken it that he was having a midlife crisis; which he wasn't. Even with an impending baby on the way; he just saw it as another positive chapter in his life.
Somehow the two had managed to escape the wrath of that woman, as the two held hands while walking around. Lilly was in a strapless summer maternity dress; that she had found for a good deal in the clearance section before she had gotten married.
However that woman's husband was now acting like a complete fool. It also made several people turn their heads; probably thinking that he was insane.
"He sort of looks like Vera", John pointed out.
Lilly shook her head, "I'm glad you're not the type to be doing that, but what's with the sunglasses"?
"You going to banger me now about it, just be lucky I'm not that guy having some midlife crisis".
She was thankful for that; since John was still dressed like someone his age; not like that other guy wearing a pair of tight teenage shorts. Plus the fact he was well toned; and just about to start a surfing contest.
When John saw the look on her face; he automatically knew that his wife was thinking, "No way Lil".
"C'mon", she teased, "I would but ", pointing to her stomach.
As the two watched the contest, Lilly laughed when the guy ended up falling into the water. When he yelled out losing his shorts; that's when the two decided to find something else to do. Besides the fact she felt lucky, that her husband wasn't out to embarrass her or himself.
"You sure this isn't Lunatic Island"?
John took her hand, but Lilly had stopped, "Hiccups" letting out a breath. He also felt it briefly, but was glad had been through the ropes before. However he was still nervous about raising a baby at his age; but knew it would be only five more months until their baby would be born.
For the time being, they went into several shops, before going dancing. Neither of them liked musicals; so that was out of the picture; but somehow the two won first place in the competition. Lilly had never actually won anything in her entire life, until now.
Just moments after, the two stood on the docks, breathing in some air.
"I could actually like out here, on the ocean".
Lilly nodded, while listening to him speaking, "When I almost retired, just sitting here on the docks relaxed me Lil. You were right, I can't just walk away".
"You thinking of retiring when the baby arrives"?
"No, I hate to think what Will or Vera might have to go through, besides I'm not ready to yet, not when we have a baby on the way"; putting his own life into perspective.
She understood completely, but was glad that he wasn't leaving the squad, "You going to turn into Crackpot Mack, John"?
He chuckled softly, "When I retire, work isn't going to follow me".
"How am I going to relay about my day", moving closure to him.
As the two laughed a bit; Lilly looked out to sea, seeing just how beautiful it was being here. Putting his hands around her waist; the two breathed took a long deep breath. Though they had stayed there until sunset, both knew that being married to one another was a good thing.
When both of their eyes caught the glimmering sunset over the horizon, their lips slowly came together. The last of love bloomed in their mouths, while the tiny life stirring softly inside of Lilly. However the two skipped dinner to continue to walk along the shore together instead.
With the cool tide running at their bare feet, John bent down to retrieve a small shell. He then placed it in his wife's hand. As she ran her fingers across the ridges, her blue eyes then caught sight of the moon that was the center of the stars.
"Never had noticed just how calm the ocean is", her voice barely in a whisper while leaning her head against John's shoulder. Being here made Lilly feel calmer and relaxed, just by listening to the sound of the ocean along with the gulls crying out at sea.
Once they came back to their rooms, their hot sweaty bodies moved around the bed; as they both panted harder. Lilly moaned while feeling him thrusting harder; prompting her to tilt her head back. She felt his hard, hot breath on her skin. Her heart was pounding faster, as his lips licked, sucked and kissed all over her neck.
As the tide crashed at the shore, the two climaxed hard together in a wonderful glory. While the gulls cried out their last cry of the night, the newlyweds lay in bed breathing hard.
"I think we woke this one up", managing to speak.
John caught his breath, as his hand slide onto her abdomen while looking into wife's eyes. By the next morning, while she lounged at the poolside; he was busy playing a round of golf. Until one of them got a call to return back to the states; since there was pretty violent case just warming right up?
Until that time, Lilly had to deal with that same nasty woman instead of enjoying a sunbathing session.
