Adam Park was the happiest man in the world that night. The day they had shared was beyond wonderful.

Now, he sat in the large bathtub…full of bubbles with Tanya, the most gorgeous exquisite woman alive laying in his lap with her head resting against his chest.

He stroked the tendrils of her dark textured hair as he contemplated all that had happened that day to lead up to this point.

The day itself had started out much like everyday had so far. With him waking up with his angel in his arms. So contently had he looked on her as she slept.

-Flashback-

The morning sun had just come up but thanks to the dark blue curtains on the windows, hardly any rays had shown through to awaken the peaceful woman in his arms.

Adam was already awake but he hadn't bothered to get up…instead he had contented himself with gazing at his angel.

Her body was still and she had a peaceful smile on her face and she slept on. The ninja knew he had a sappy love sick smile on his face but he didn't care at this point.

He gently stroked her face being careful not to wake her just yet.

"How did I get so lucky?" he softly whispered to himself.

Tanya shifted ever so slightly in his arms and was now laying on her back. Adam couldn't help himself as he softly leaned over and kissed her lips. As he pulled back Tanya slowly opened her eyes and smiled up at him.

"Morning Sweetie." she said using her nickname for him. Adam's heart once again surged with love and he leaned over kissing her again.

"Morning Sweetheart. Sleep well last night?"

"I did…how about you?" She said as she yawned and stretched in his arms.

Adam grinned even bigger. "With you here I slept wonderfully."

Tanya smiled back at him. "Mmm…I love you." Then she reached up and softly stroked his face with her hand. Adam leaned into her hand, smiled at her.

"I love you too."

Then Tanya had propped herself up to press a kiss to his lips which had caused him to deepen the kiss and then they had been lost…lost in each other's caresses, touches and loving endearments. And soon Adam was laying on top of her caressing her with his hands and his tongue caressing her own….probing gently…lovingly stroking…coming very close to losing control.

It was a full twenty minutes before Tanya broke the kiss. "I love you so much."

Adam smiled at her as he gently brushed the hair out of her face. "I love you too."

"I wish we could have all morning to ourselves." He'd been confused for a moment before he realized that she was referring to the kids…they needed to be woken up if they weren't already…and put through their morning exercises."

"Me too. I could just lay here all day with you." As he said that his thoughts immediately went to the little black square box that was hidden in a secret compartment of his suitcase.

Very soon, he'd thought to himself. We'll get that chance.. He'd waiting for the perfect moment to propose…he'd been waiting for the perfect moment…with all the drama on the boat so far…he'd just didn't have the chance.

But he was gonna try for it…and soon.

-End Flashback-

In his arms Tanya sighed happily….the water felt so good, almost as good as the arms that held her as they lay cuddling in their large bath tub. After coaxing themselves out of their warm bed they had proceeded to share a shower…but the loving hadn't stopped in the bedroom.

-flashback-

Tanya had been momentarily lost as the warm water cascaded down her back…but a second later she was brought back to reality as his arms circled her waist and his soft lips kissed her shoulder.

Tanya smiled dreamily as she lets herself be taken in by the love he was showing her as he took the shower head and had ran it gently over her back. The loving care he was showing her extended farther as he lathered soap over her back…and he had done it so gently. She had barely been able to breathe…she was so in love with him…but in the back of her mind she couldn't help but think of their imminent separation…she would eventually have to return to her job…she had never made it to the big time…she really didn't want to go back to Nashville.

Adam kissed her shoulder again drawing her thoughts to him again as they hurried to finish their shower….the day was awaiting them.

-end flashback-

Adam smiled at the beauty that sat between his legs and gently caressed her stomach and felt her moan softly in response then the dark eyed beauty shifted and tilted her head to kiss him gently.

Adam's heart thudded in his chest as he deepened the kiss holding her tighter to him. Then Tanya was pulling away sweetly and then rested her head on his chest.

The black Ninjetti stroked her stomach placing more little kisses on her shoulder. He had been so worried as he stood behind her gently using the shower to massage her back.

-flashback-

He knew the separation was coming….his heart ached at the thought of not waking up with her in his arms…he could never survive being away with her…he took a deep breath steadying himself…he would ask her that night…he couldn't handle the worry much longer.

He kissed her shoulder again and then the nape of her neck as he tried to convey the love and passion her felt for her.

Tyler.

Tyler would miss her too. The boy had grown attached to her in the time they had spent together. He already thought of her as a mother…he had said as much before. His son needed a mother figure in his life.

And Tanya fit the bill.

-end flashback-

The former turbo ranger grinned to himself as he remembered what had happened after they had finished the shower and dressed.

More specifically what had happened between himself and his son.

-Flashback-

Tanya turned to him as they stood at the door to the kid's stateroom. "You think they're awake?"

Adam looked at her. "I dunno…what kid would miss the chance to sleep in on a vacation?"

Then he had pulled out the key and unlocked the door. Sure enough the kids were fast asleep.

"Time to get up!" when the kids didn't respond he added, "Any who wants breakfast better wake up!! I here the menu is delicious this morning!"

As he predicted, Tyler was the first to wake up at the mention of food. He sat up groaning. "Breakfast? Where?"

Adam smirked. "In the restaurant...where else?"

"But first, we need to get up to the sports deck and go through our exercises." Tanya added. "Its a good way to work up an appetite."

Adam nodded "I agree...so up and at 'em!"

Tanya turned the lights on. "Come on sleepy heads! This mean you too terra!"

As his girlfriend made her way to Terra's bed Adam walked over to his son's cot. Then he grinned an evil smile that would have made Tommy proud.

He cleared his throat then in his best imitation of Terra he said, "Tylerrrrrrrr."

The boy shifted in his bed. "Mmmm…Terra?"

Adam continued in his girly voice. "Yes Tyler…it's me."

The boy turned over again and the black Ninjetti stifled a laugh and looked over at Terraa who was being coaxed out of bed by Tanya who was rolling her eyes at him.

Adam stuck his tongue out at her and went back to messing with his son.

Tyler groaned. "Mmm….Terra what're you doing here…don't want dad to catch us."

Adam continued. "Your dad's not here."

Tyler moaned in his sleep. "Mmmm. okay..…" he scooted over as if making room for her and Adam sat down.

In response Tyler put his arm around what he thought was Terra…and a second later he opened his eyes….and immediately looked shocked.

"D…Dad? What're you doing here?"

Adam grinned down at his son. "Hello....cutie pie." And he placed a big sloppy wet kiss on his son's forehead.

Tyler blushed bright red. "Dad! that's not cool!" And he turned over and put his head under the pillow.

Adam got up laughing. "Time to get up son. don't wanna miss breakfast."

Tyler answered back in a muffled voice. "No....you embarrassed me in front of my girlfriend....I'm never getting up now! thanks a lot!"

Adam answered in a girly voice. "But Tylerrrrr, I wuv you!"

Tyler angrily threw a pillow at him which Adam caught.

Terra got up and walked sleepily over to his bed. "Come on Tyler...we gotta get up and go through our routine."

Tyler's whine was muffled. "Do I have to?"

Terra just shook her head and walked to the bathroom closing the door.

Once she was gone, Tyler got up glaring at his dad and started pulling on his workout clothes...not even looking at his dad.

Holding back a chuckled Tanya walked over to him. "Your dad was just playing...I'm sure terra will forget about this."

When he didn't respond to him she walked back to her boyfriend "Come on Adam...lets leave them to get ready."

When they walked out the door and closed it Tanya busted out laughing. "That was so cruel."

Adam grinned. "It was…come on, lets get up to the sports deck."

-End flashback-

Adam grinned again at the memory and stroked his lover's breast gently.

Tanya moaned gently at his touch. She loved it when he touched her this way. She felt so cherished…so loved. Much the same way as they had in the few moments they had spent alone when they finally reached the sports deck. They had even played a little bit of 'footsie' while they went through their morning stretches.

They had been halfway through their first Cotta when the kids showed up. It looked as though Tyler had gotten over the embarrassing wake up call…Tyler and Terra were holding hands. And then when they had finsihed their excersies they had hurried up to Tritons for breakfast..where they had met up with Ernie and Mei. Once they had finished Ernie offered to take them for the day. Adam and Tanya had been only to glad for the chance to be alone.

She looked up at Adam who was touching her again. And she tilted her head up and kissed him again.

This time Adam held her close to him and deepened the kiss. Carefully so she didn't hurt him she shifted so she could kiss him. As the kiss got more heated she felt him grasp the thigh that wasn't touching him and at the same time she felt his tongue press against her lips asking for entrance.

Which she gave willingly.

As their tongues danced in each other's mouth they once again became lost in passion. Before either of them really knew what was happening, Adam was touching her…making her moan his name with each caress…which only exited him more as he stroked her most sensitive parts. And then she was moaning into his mouth as she came against his hand.

Adam held her close again as her breathing became steady again. He loved the woman in his arms. She was the most exquisite beauty in the entire universe of beautiful women.

And she had made him the happiest man on earth.

-flashback-

It had happened that night…just as the sun was setting. The kids had been sent to bed and were probably watching yet another movie in their room.

But at the moment that didn't matter to them.

He wrapped his arm around Tanya's waist as they walked along the deck.. Adam sighed. It feels awesome out tonight."

Tanya had her arm around his waist. "Its beautiful....somehow, I fee like were in the middle of that titanic movie....thank goodness there aren't any icebergs out here.

Adam chuckled. "Do you want me to throw my hands up and scream, 'I'm King of the World?"

Tanya punched him lightly in the arm. "Not funny Adam, I don't want to lose you."

Adams teasing smiled disappeared at that last remark as she released him and walked to the rail and leaned against it.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do when I have to leave for Nashville."

Adam walks up beside her leaning against the same rail. "What do you mean?

Tanya sighed. I love being with you....I'm gonna hate not being you...with Tyler.....I don't know if I can do it."

They were both quiet as they listened to the waves crashing softly against the bow of the ship. Adam looked at his lover as the colors of the sunset colored her with their light.

He was unsure of what to say. So he swallowed.

"Then don't."

Tanya lifted her head and looked at him. "Where would I live? Where would I work?"

What about your old job at the radio station? They miss you over there

Tanya furrowed her brow. "You think so?

Adam smiled. "Yup, I do."

I would still have to go back and pack everything.. Even being apart from you for a week or so would be torture

"What if I come help?"

Tanya smiled "I'd like that....I just want to be with you…I love you."

Hearing that, Adam leaned in capturing her lips in another heated kiss. Which Tanya willingly gave into as her lover gathered into his arms.

When they came back up for air. Tanya realized that they had yet to discuss were she'd live.

"Adam, where would I live?"

Adam looked at her confused for a moment. "What about with me and Tyler?"

Tanya looked back out at the ocean for a minute. When she spoke again, her voice was in a softer tone. "I hadn't thought of that yet." She looked back at him...do you think Tyler would be okay with that?"

Adam was touched that she was concerned about her sons feelings. Even if it was unnecessary. "He already looks to you as a mom."

Tanya furrowed her brow again. "He does? I hadn't realized that.…"

Adam took her hand in his. "He does...he thinks the world of you."

Tanya smiled. "I had no idea....sure...I'd love to come live with you guys."

Adam heart soared with joy as they once again shared another kiss.

When they broke the kiss again she leaned into his arms and rested against his chest.

Adam sighed again listening to the sounds of the ocean that surrounded them.

Tanya was momentarily startled and she looked up at him. "Something wrong Sweetie?"

Adam sighed again. "I just have something on my mind that's all."

Tanya sighed and leaned against his chest again. "Anything I can help with?"

Adam swallowed…knowing that the moment had arrived. "Tanya? Lets sit down."

When they sat down on some deck chairs, Adam took her hands in his again.

Tanya looked him in the eye and felt her heart thudding in her chest....having a feeling of what was about to happen.

Adam swallowed again. "Tanya I love you with all my heart and when you said you would come back to angel grove I was thrilled.

Tanya's breath caught in her throat…but she stayed silent.

Adam continued. And when I asked you move in with me I did for more reasons than just to offer you a place to stay

Tanya was trembling slightly. "A...and w...what was that.....?"

"You are my best friend....my soul mate.…"

Tanya was finding it hard to breathe with all the suspense.

Adam took a deep breathe to steady himself as he pulled a small box out of his pocket and presented it to her. "Tanya Sloan, would you do me the honor and become my wife?"

Tears streamed down her face as he opened the box showing her the ring.

'Adam…..its….beautiful….y….yes! I will!"

By this time tears were streaming down his face and he pulled her into a fierce hug…his heart thudding in his chest. And then he was kissing her….and she was kissing him back.

-end flashback-

Adam kissed Tanya again. "You've made me the happiest man in the world tonight."

Tanya looked up at him with love shining in her eyes. "All I've ever wanted to do was be with you…forever."

They kissed again.

"It's getting cold.. Why don't we just go to bed now." Adam suggested kissing her again.

Tanya grinned at him. "The bed sounds nice."

And so the two newly betrothed lovers fell into bed…finding warmth in each other's arms…and soon, they were both asleep.
