A/N: Actually this chapter is from Rose's POV… ;)

DISCLAIMER EXCEPT FOR OCS

Rose POV:

I wish this wasn't a dream. I really want it to be real. I was in the most beautiful white dress with Riley right by my side arms locked around my waist. "I love you." I murmured into his side. "I love you, too Rosie-pie." He used my once in a life time nick name. If anyone else dared call me that I'd make sure they couldn't remember that name. I giggled softly and grabbed his hand with my own. It didn't hurt as much as I though it would. "Riley, maybe you could tell me why I don't hurt?" I asked hopefully. He chuckled running his free hand through his hair. "Rose, of course you don't hurt. Remember the doctors helped us."

"Oh." I replied. "Oh, yeah. I-I knew that."

He laughed once more, "I'm sure you did." He tapped my nose with his finger, and I gently bit his finger before he could snap it back. "Humph." I huffed mockingly. "Oh, Rose. Come on."

"I never said I'd be the mature one 100% of the time." I smiled triumphantly. "I like it when you're immature." He kissed me softly on my lips. "Hmm…where are we?" I asked. "I don't know…or care. As long as I'm with you." He kissed me again, broke for air and moved to repeat the action but I pulled him forward walking him with me. It was hard to move forward. Riley tugged me gently back to him.

We were in a field of pink and purple lilies. I brought us forward and noticed that the more forward you go the more roses there were. I looked up above us…a rainbow was easing down on us. "Whoa." I breathed. "I guess it is pretty beautiful. But still no match for you." He hugged my waist, resting his chin on my right shoulder. It didn't feel at all painful. Even after I had been stabbed there with a hot knife. "Well, I couldn't care less where we are either. As long as I have the best boyfriend in the world with me, I know I'm safe." We gingerly lay on a blanket in the field of lilies. "Wow…it's so beautiful here. Is anyone…around?"

Riley shrugged in response to my question and we looked at clouds. "That one looks like a dragon on a bike." He said. I laughed softly and we made some game of finding the weirdest cloud yet. Then the cloud that was the prettiest. "None could beat how you look right now Riley." I whispered my head leaning onto his chest my content smile flickering onto my lips as he kissed my forehead. "Rose do you know what I think?"

"I never know what you think…you're so random." I murmured closing my eyes as he sat up. "I think we should get a cottage. Right here." He said.

"Why not? We don't know how to get home, so why not make this home." I answered laughing. "Exactly. Isn't that the cutest thing?" He pointed behind us slightly and my face lit up seeing the small cozy stone cottage. "I- when did it get there?"

"It's always been there Rose. You were too focused on what's ahead." He brushed his thumb across my face. "Well come on. Let's go find out what surprises await us inside."

"Okay….maybe there's a fridge….and a stove…" He winked. I rolled my eyes. "I think cooking sounds fun, but first; exploring."

There was food, and cooking supplies but I decided to drag him to the river behind the cottage. "The water's so…clean. And look it goes right into that pond!" I exclaimed pointing to the clean blue pond with ducks, lily pads, and frogs. "It's gorgeous here…it's almost like…heaven!" I exclaimed. "Riley…did we…?"

"I'm not sure if we've died quite yet, I'm sure if we were in actual heaven we'd have to check in with God, or Jesus, or some angel, or something." He shrugged. I peered into the river. "Wow…this is beautiful…but if we aren't dead then…what are we?"

"I couldn't say…asleep? Maybe. I can't put my finger on it." He answered.

"You have some cold fingers, Riles." I said lacing my own through his. He laughed at the comment parting my hair from my face. "Rose…you know how you promised that we'd marry?" He asked. I remembered that…I shuddered at the memory of the happening before our pact. "Yes. Quite clearly. Vivid." I nodded. "Well, I don't like to do things traditionally but if you want…" He pulled a ring out of a velvet box and slid it onto my left hand ring finger. The ring was a bright emerald that shimmered in the sun, the band pure silver. "It's the most beautiful thing I've seen." I gasped.

"Have you looked in a mirror?" Riley raised his eyebrows; I ignored the comment. "I'll always wear it." I whispered hugging him tightly. "Where'd you get this from?" He asked trailing his fingers across my pearl necklace. "Whoa….it was nana's grandmothers…she gave it to me the day I moved in with Ben…"

"They match the ring I think quite nicely." He nodded. I smiled, "Why thank you."

"Riley, shouldn't we be crying or something?" I asked.

He smiled a know-it-all smile, leaned in and whispered, "Shouldn't we save our tears for sometime when we need them?" He asked. I smiled back, "I guess."

"Riley, I've found out what this place is." I looked up in the sky squinting at the sun as I dipped my feet in the cool ice water. "What is it, Rose?"

"Paradise."
