Chapter 4: Interlude in paradise
Dedication: I would like to dedicate this chapter to my friends on the George and Izzie thread on Fan Forum because they helped me pick the place where George and Izzie would go on their honeymoon. I would like to thank Mylene for coming up with this beautiful title for this chapter of my story.

In the hotel room
George watches Izzie as she sleeps and he hopes that he enjoys the surprise destination he is taking her on for their honeymoon. He has wanted to learn more about his heritage and his past for such a long time now that where they are going is the perfect place to do just that. He cannot believe that he has found the woman he will spend the rest of his life with.
Izzie begins to stir and wakes up to find George staring at her.
"Good morning my beautiful wife," George says.
"Good morning my handsome husband," Izzie says and kisses him passionately on the lips.
"We have to get ready. Our plane takes off in four hours," George says while getting out of bed.
"I am up. Why won't you tell me where we are going?," Izzie asks.
"It is a surprise and I hope that you love where we are going," George says.
Two hours later….
At the airport
George and Izzie are patiently waiting for their plane to go off. They are sitting in the lounge waiting for their gate number to be announced.
"Why won't you tell me where we are going?," Izzie asks with a pleading look on her face.
"I promise I will tell when we get on the plane," George says and kisses her cheek.
Two hours later…
On the plane
"Where are we going George?. You said you would tell me as soon as we got on the plane," Izzie says.
"We are going to Ireland. I want to learn more about my heritage and my past. I wanted to share this experience with you on our honeymoon," George says.
"I have always wanted to go to Ireland. I cannot wait until we get there," Izzie says.
Eight hours later….
Dublin, Ireland – The Rose Inn – George and Izzie's hotel room
"We're here George," Izzie says.
"I am so happy that I am here with you my beautiful wife," George says.
"I love you George O'Malley," Izzie says.
"I love you Izzie O'Malley," George says.
They kiss passionately on the lips.
Honeymoons are meant to be a way to help a couple enjoy themselves before their lives begin. This rings true for George and Izzie. This trip has the power to change their lives and it will. They will learn who they are and who they want to be. When you are in love, it does not matter where you are as long as you are with the person you love.
