As Rocket and his family made their way through the city he noticed it was a lot more peaceful and serene here than any other place he had been to on earth. The buildings were much smaller than when they visited new york and the streets were less of a hustle and bustle people overall seemed to take their time here a bit more and just relax. Rocket looked over at Orion and noticed his son seemed fascinated with all the sights, this caused Rocket to chuckle at his son's childlike wonder at the world around him.

"What's so funny dad?" Orion asked a he furrowed his brows.

"Nothing son, just, I love how intrigued you seem by everything." Rocket explained.

After another couple minutes of walking the group found a hotel to stay at and walked in. Peter approached the counter and asked for two rooms one for him and Rocket and a seperate one for Orion. Once the man at the counter had entered Peter's name into the computer he walked into the back and came back minutes later with three room keys. Peter thanked the man as he grabbed them handing one to Orion and sending his son on his way. Peter then handed Rocket his key and the couple made their way to their room.

As Rocket and Peter walked inside their room they immediately noticed a few differences compared to the hotel they stayed at in Paris last time they were on earth. First the theme of the room was much more tropical or beachy and the bedframe was styled to look like bamboo and there was a small tropical plant in the corner of the central room next to the balcony entrance. There was also a nice tannish wood ceiling fan.

"Hmm... Interesting decor. I think I could actually get used to this." Rocket mused aloud to himself.

"Yeah, hey let's go check out the view from the balcony." Peter suggested and before waiting for Rocket's reply was already making his way across the room to open the balcony door.

Rocket sighed at his husband's eagerness and followed behind him to the balcony. As Rocket got out onto the balcony he saw a perfect view of the beach they were just on and could see for miles across to the next adjacent island and Rocket had to admit the view was lovely. Peter meanwhile wasn't looking at the view his eyes were trained on Rocket. Peter was noticing how the sunlight was showing on Rocket's fur and gleaming off the metal accents on his uniform. Rocket noticed that Peter hadn't said anything about the view yet so he turned to see what his husband was so preoccupied with.

This however gave Peter an even bigger reason to stare as now he could see his husband's face as well as the eyes he loved so much.

"Peter what the flark are you staring at? Do I have something on my face or something?" Rocket asked as he snapped Peter out of his thoughts. As Rocket's words clicked and registered in Peter's head he shook his head.

"Sorry Rocket I just couldn't look away from the most beautiful thing on this island..." Peter said allowing his inner romantic sappy side to flow out with his words. Rocket rolled his eyes at Peter's mushy talk and simply walked back inside and jumped on the bed and layed his head on the pillow. Rocket soon felt the weight of the bed underneath him signalling Peter joined him.

"So we still have to unpack and settle in... After that we should figure out dinner I guess." Rocket said as he rolled over on his side to face Peter.

"Hmmm yeah so after we lay here... And I kiss you to death... We unpack then go meet up with Orion to find somewhere to eat?" Peter said in-between kissing Rocket's lips gently. Rocket was enjoying this moment, he had forgotten how good this felt. Rocket leaned in to kiss Peter before pulling back.

"Sounds like a plan now get up and unload your stuff you lazy flarker." Rocket said as he rolled out of bed and grabbed his bag beginning to unpack. After a few mishaps and Rocket pointing his blaster to Peter's head a few times at some of Peter's clothing choices he packed for Rocket the couple finally finished unpacking and made their way to Orion's room.

Orion opened the door as his parents knocked. Orion came out wearing a nice light fabric red button-up shirt with the collar flattened down with tan cargo pants.

"Guys... You have been holding out on me earth is awesome!" Orion exclaimed with childlike excitement and energy. This got Rocket and Peter to share a look of amusement. Orion gave them a look and they both wiped the looks off their face and went to just complacent smiles.

"Anyways let's go get some dinner I am starving and if I know my dad... And I do he probably wants to try some of the food from this area." Orion said, and with a bit of a laugh between him and Peter at the jab made at Rocket's expense the family made their way out of the hotel and back into the city.

(Okay I apologize this chapter is almost as short as chapter 1 but honestly for me the longer a chapter stretches on the more my quality slips as I slowly start to lose my inspiration and train of thought and I highly believe that it is better if the chapter is shorter and higher quality than having a longer but crappier near the end chapter so bear with me I will try to get longer chapters out I promise but for now I believe in Quality over length hope you all understand and keep reading anyway.

Thanks,
