The Honeymoon

Forever Changed Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I own no rights to any Annie characters.

Notes: I suck at writing passionate erotic love scenes so hopefully this isn't too horrible.

The wedding was a day I will always cherish. It was the first day we were officially a family. I couldn't be happier that Annie is my daughter. Deep down inside I always knew I was like a mother to her and I knew that she felt the same. I am hoping that someday soon Annie will have a little brother or sister. She is so fond of that little girl Molly from the orphanage so Oliver may adopt her in the next couple months.

Oliver booked our honeymoon for the Friday Saturday and Sunday following the wedding at a ski resort in Lake Placid. I had not been skiing since I was a teenager so this was a new experience for me. We walk hand in hand in to our honey moon hotel suite and unpack. Once everything is put away Oliver asks " Well should we head the slopes now?"

"Yes, but I must warn I haven't been skiing since I was Annie's age so I may be out of practice."

My husband grins at me "Don't worry. I'm a good teacher. You will learn faster than you think you will."

A long afternoon of skiing tuckers the both of us out. We order room service for dinner and then snuggle under the covers and watch a movie on TV.

I lay my head on his chest and he strokes my hair.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" he asks me.

I blush not sure of how to answer him.

"No need to be embarrassed or modest darling. It's the truth. You are the most beautiful woman in the world."

I gaze up at him lovingly.

"Did I ever tell you how happy Annie is that we're her parents?." I asked

Oliver's grip tightened around me.

"I would have no doubt in my mind that she is darling. She was the one who brought out the best of us as parents in the first place. Was she not?"

I nodded , gazing up into Oliver's eyes which were glistening with pride.

"She most certainly was. I am most grateful for that." I said.

Oliver's hand rubbed my back and I nuzzled deeper into his chest.

"I am too. I love you Grace."

I felt his lips graze my forehead.

"I love you too Oliver. You and Annie mean everything to me." I sighed and started to cry as I had the morning of the wedding.

Oliver looked at my shocked. "What's wrong gorgeous? It's our honeymoon , you should be happy."

"Oh I am happy. I just wish my parents were alive so they could've met you and Annie. I'm sure you would have loved them and they would have spoiled Annie rotten."

Oliver took my chin and cupped in it his hands tracing the tracks of my tears with his fingers.

"Grace, you were the most beautiful bride. I'm sure your parents would have loved to see you in your gown. You do realize they were looking down on you from heaven smiling?"

"You really think they were?"

Oliver smiled and pulled me into a warm embrace, kissing the last of my tears away.

"Of course they were precious. They are your guardian angels from heaven and they are always watching over you no matter what."

I leaned against him until I fell asleep then he shifted my body to my side of the bed and tucked the sheet around me.. kissing me softly one last time.

"Sleep well my darling. I love you so much." He whispered.
