Weekend Getaway

Chapter 7

Over the next several days, Sara had cut back on her hours at the clinic and was able to get the doctor who she had hired to take over while she was on maternity leave to start early and take some of Sara's patients. As for the wedding Sara was happy that a photographer was found, so she could relax. With Maricruz's help now gave them an extra pair of hands to help out and she would defiantly come in handy as the wedding gets closer and Sara and Michael have a new baby to worry about.

Ever since Sara got out of the hospital Michael had done everything he could to keep Sara comfortable. He was also busy planning his and Sara's weekend getaway that seem he continued to keep a secret from Sara. On more then one occasion Sara tried to sneak a peak at his home office computer over his shoulder but he always covered up the screen and then would carry her out of the room so she couldn't snoop. Sara could only giggle at his persistence.

"Mommy can't we go too?" Matt asked as him and his sister sat on the bed watching their mom pack their suitcase. Both her children were staring at her with their beautiful crystal blue puppy dog eyes and sticking out their bottom lips.

"No not this time sweetheart, but you'll be here with uncle Linc and aunt Hannah" Sara told them while zipping up her suitcase.

"But I miss you" Nicole whined.

"Hey your uncle Linc has a special weekend planned for you guys," Michael said as he entered the room. He took a seat on the bed and wrapped his arms around them. "We'll miss you too but it's only two sleeps."

Nicole pressed her index finger to her lip showing that she was in deep thought. "But if we go with you, then you won't miss us" Nicole chirped.

Michael and Sara couldn't help but laugh at their daughter's suggestion. He gave her a kiss on her forehead and then stood up. "Nic it's only two sleeps you'll be okay." Picking up the suitcase he turned to carry it down stairs. Sara and the twins followed him and Nicole and Matt continued to whine and complain.

"But daddy" Matt cried. When they reached the front door Michael turned to his son and daughter and their puppy dog eyes. He was a sucker for their pleading eyes and would practically do anything for them when they look at him like that. He knelt down in front of them and took their small hands in his. "Look guys…"

"Don't worry guys we are going to have so much fun" Linc announced as he walked into the front hall. He saw that they were upset that their parents were leaving for the weekend. "I have a surprise planned for us tomorrow."

This got Nicole and Matt's attention and their curious eyes turned to their uncle. Sara and Michael watched as their children became interested in what Linc was talking about. "What surprise?" they asked.

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" he teased them with a chuckle.

"Now say goodbye to your mom and dad, give them big hugs and then come help me make dinner okay. You'll get your surprise tomorrow but your mom and dad can't be here."

Their eyes filled with more curiosity and excitement. In one quick motion Nicole and Matt wrapped their arms around their dad. "Bye-bye daddy." They quickly ran to their mom and gave her a big hug. "Bye-bye mommy and bye-bye baby" they both said as they gently patted their mother's stomach.

"Goodbye and you two be good okay" an emotional Sara said. This was one thing Sara couldn't stand about being pregnant, the fact that everything made her cry these days. "Okay, Michael we better go before a breakdown again" she whispered. He nodded and picked the suitcase up in one hand and took Sara's hand with the other.

"Alright here's the information about where we are staying, if you need us," Michael told Lincoln as he gave him a slip of paper.

Linc took the piece of paper and nodded. "We'll be fine."

"Okay bye" Michael said and Sara waved. Afraid of she said anything she would burst into tears.

After they were out the door Matt and Nicole ran to the front window and watched their parents get into the silver Mercedes CLS. As Michael backed out of the driveway, him and Sara waved to their children before driving down the street.

After about five minutes of driving in silence Michael turned to Sara in the passenger seat, he reached out and placed his hand on her thigh and gave it a squeeze. "You all right?" he asked her.

She looked at her husband and gave a sincere smile. She placed her hand on his that rested on her thigh. "Pregnancy hormones I'll be fine." She turned and stared out the window as they drove through Chicago and out of nowhere she stared to giggle. Michael looked at his beautiful wife and gave her a questioning look, wondering what was so funny. She turned and saw his confused expression. "Nicole and Matt are going to drive Lincoln, Hannah and LJ crazy this weekend!"

Michael chuckled, "Well we better enjoy this because it may take time to convince them to do it again."

After driving for another fifteen minutes, Michael pulled up to the Fairmont Hotel. Sara's eyes widened in excitement and turned to Michael to see if it was true. Michael nodded his head. "After what happened I didn't want to risk anything so I thought it was best we stayed in the city, but we'll have a nice quiet and relaxing weekend."

He parked the car and picked up the suitcase then led Sara to the hotel entrance. He receives their room keys from the front desk and then hand in hand they went to their room on the fifth floor. Sliding the key card into the door, he unlocked the door and pushed it open to see a large spacious suite. A huge king size bed was on one side of the room. In one corner closest to the balcony was a corner style fireplace with a wide flat screen t.v. Sara walked into the bathroom and saw a large Jacuzzi. She started to think about how her and Michael could put it to some use and she made a mental note to make her fantasy a reality this weekend.

Once they were all settled in to their room and cleaned themselves up, Michael and Sara made their way down to the hotel restaurant for dinner. They were led to their table and Michael pulled out Sara's chair for her. When he took his seat the waiter took their drink orders. Michael ordered them both some sparkling white grape juice to toast off the weekend alone, since Sara couldn't drink.

"This place it nice" Sara said quietly while looking around the restaurant the waiter returned with their drinks and took their orders. Michael ordered himself the "Double Colorado Lamb Chops" and Sara ordered the "Roasted Chicken Breast." They started off with sine light conversations about the kids, the baby and other light topics.

"Is the chicken good?"

Sara nodded her head. "You know I really needed this more then I actually realize," she said with a little laugh.

Michael smiled at her "Well this is only the beginning."

"Really?" Sara said raising her eyebrow and interested in what he had planned up his sleeve.

"Well tomorrow you get to sleep in, instead of waking up at 7am, we'll have brunch in bed, you'll enjoy a few hours of a spa day, then a little shopping followed by some more relaxing at the hotel. I did notice you eyeing the bathtub."

Sara started to grin as she listened to what Michael had planned for her and she got even more anxious about tomorrow. "Sounds like heaven, but I think I know what we can do tonight" she said with a seductive smile as her foot tailed up his leg and in between his thighs. This caused Michael to choke on his drink as his body reacted to her actions and touch. Sara started to giggle as Michael looked around for their waiter. "Check please!" After the meal was paid for the two practically ran to their room hand in hand like two horny teenagers.
