Weekend Getaway

Chapter 10

Sara woke up all rested and refreshed, the more she thought about it the more she realized she hadn't slept like this since she was a teenager. As her eyes slowly opens she turned to face the bedside clock and saw it was already 11:00 am. She laid her head back on her pillow and let out a sigh of content. Turning over she expected to find Michael lying beside her but he wasn't. She lifted her head and glanced around the room, she could here voices just outside the room and then next thing she knew Michael was wheeling in their room service.

"Ah your wake, just in time for brunch!" Michael announced with a happy grin on his face.

Sara propped her self up on her elbows and eyed the food. There was eggs, beacon, ham pancakes, numerous types of fruit and vegetables, pasties, soup, salads, an assortment of desserts and coffee. Sara smiled "How are we suppose to eat all this?" she giggled.

Michael moved towards the bed with the trays and placed them in front of them so they could eat in bed. They talked about random things as they ate and fed each other. Michael reached for a strawberry and brought it to her lips. Sara graciously took a bite and let the juices dripped down her chin. She started to giggle as Michael leaned forward and kissed and licked all strawberry juice off her face. His lips lingered on hers a little longer before began to kiss her passionately. On the bed their fingers were intertwined and his thumb caressed her hand.

Sara was a little disappointed when he pulled away and glanced at his watch. He removed the empty tray from the bed placed it on the table. "If I were you I'd take a quick shower and change because you have a spa date to get to in less then an hour," he said with a grin.

Sara smiled and hoped out of bed and grabbing Michael's shirt from yesterday and made her way to the bathroom. She was showered and change in less then twenty minutes and Michael teased her about how at home it take her hours to get ready. Sara playfully slapped his arm as they exited the hotel room. When they got to the main floor Michael led her to the spa and bath. "Okay this is as far as I go, for now" he told her. "I'll see you in a few hours and then we'll do some shopping."

Sara smiled and leaned forward to kiss him. "I love you," she told him as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you too, now go get pampered" he said with a smile and then watched as Sara as she headed inside.

The massage was an amazing and was just what she needed. Even though her back didn't hurt because of the pregnancy yet, she still was on her feet all picking up after the twins and looking after her patients. She remembered the last time she had taken sometime for just herself was when to was pregnant with the twins and Michael had planned a romantic and relaxing vacation in California and she spent a day at the spa.

After her massage she got a manicure and pedicure she found the feeling of being able to relax and letting everyone around her take care of everything was great. Sure at home she had Michael and the other who would wait on her hand and feet but Sara wasn't one of those women who could just sit back, if she saw or thought someone needed help she was there with in seconds to lend a hand.

When her spa treatment was over a few hours later Sara left feeling refreshed and relax. As she made her way to the lobby she found Michael sitting on a sofa reading the paper. Slowly she came up behind him and covered his eyes and whispered in his ear. Michael got a huge grin on his face and when Sara came to stand in front of him he pulled her onto his lap. "You look amazing as always," he told her as his fingers ran threw her hair.

"I feel amazing, thank you I was in desperate need of that" Sara told him and then brought her lips to meet his. "Thank you" she said again.

"It was my pleasure"

They sat there for a few more minutes before Michael insisted they make their way out of the hotel to do some shopping. Sara was all excited and quickly stood up and took Michael's hand as they made their way to the car.

For the next few hours Michael followed Sara around carrying her begs as she shopped without complaining. He went into store after store and watched her try on some maternity clothed and gave her advice on clothes she bought for her post-maternity. They also got a few items for the twins; one thing they got was a soccer ball, because both Lincoln and Michael were determined to convince them to play this summer.

When they finally returned back at the hotel Sara had spent over three hundred dollars. As Sara opened the door Michael carried in the bags and then dropped them on the bed. Sara moved over to the phone "I'm going to call Linc and Hannah to see how things are going at home, and to make sure they haven't barricaded themselves in their room" she said with a giggle while picking up the phone.

Michael started to laugh as he picked up one of his bags and made his way into the bathroom and closed the door. Sara leaned across the bed wondering what he was doing but quickly brushed it off as someone answered on the other end. "Hi Linc it's Sara…"

After getting off the phone Sara sat back on the bed waiting for Michael to return. She had heard water running a while ago when she was on the phone but now it was quiet. "Michael?" she called out as she stood up. She made her way to the closed door and softly knocked. When she got no response she slowly opened it she saw that the lights were dim and candle surrounded the bathroom. She was in aw when she caught sight of the bathtub; red rose peddles floated on the water. Over in the corner she saw Michael pouring two glasses of white grape juice. When he turned to look at her, he had a huge grin on his face.

"Wow, Michael this is... wonderful."

"Well I always keep my promises and I know you've been dying to use the bathtub." He closed the gap between them and then captured her lips with his. "The only problem is, we're a little over dressed."

Sara smiled and started to unbutton his shirt, "We can fix that" Michael chuckle and help her fix their problem.

In no time they were both in the warm bathtub snuggled together. Michael sat behind Sara and she rested her back against his chest. Michael's fingers trailed up and down her arms, his lips kissed her neck. Sara's ran her fingertips on his legs and she let out a moan at the feel of his hands and lips on her.

"So what did Linc say?" Michael asked as his chin rested on her shoulder.

Sara started to laugh and then lean back into Michael's arm, "Well turns out their ready to run away."

"They've only spent one whole day with them, how bad could they be" Michael chuckle.

"Well for what it's worth this weekend was exactly what I needed, thank you so much" Sara says quietly before brushing her lips against his passionately. "I love you."

Michael smiled " I love you and I wanted you to relax and think about yourself for a change." His lips kiss the side of her face, "I want you to take it easy and let me take care of you, the twins and the new little one" his hand moved to her stomach and his thumbs caressed the small belly bump.

"Well if you do that you'll be the one in need of a getaway!" Sara giggled as she gently placed her hands on his.

"You know that sound good to me," Michael whispers in her ear and Sara can't help but laugh.

When things got quiet Sara could tell that Michael's face expression turned serious. "I was so scared" he told her. "When LJ call me and told me that you were in the hospital I… I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you" he was able to choke out as he tried to keep it together.

Sara knew she had been pushing it pretty hard. Longer hours at the clinic, planning the wedding, chasing the four year old twins around and Michael was right; she hadn't taken time for herself.

"I just want what's best for you and the baby, I want you both to be healthy"

Sara nods and relaxes back in his arms, "I know, I know I have to take it easy and not try and do everything myself, I just feel like I'm this emotional weepy woman and I guess I'm trying to prove that I'm still capable of taking stuff on."

"Hey you are the strongest person I know and I envy you, I mean how many people can go through eighteen hours of labor with twins and no pain medication. Back in Panama you kept LJ safe while The Company was holding you two. You stuck by Linc and me when no one else would. Not to mention you can really kick a** when you need to and you are the most caring person who puts others needs before your own. Your Amazingly strong Sara" When Sara turned her head to look at him he romantically brushed his lips against hers as one of her hands come up from under the water to caress his cheek.

When the water started to get cold Sara suggested that they get out and take advantage of the rest of their weekend before the have to go rescue Linc and the others form Matt and Nicole. Michael agreed, he was first out of the tub and held out his hand to help her stand. After they dried each other off Michael swiftly picked her off the ground and carried a giggling Sara back to the bedroom and their big warm bed.
