The marriage of Will and Elizabeth turned a corner after they were able to voice some of the things that bothered each one of them. They found that they were well matched and had no trouble filling their days and nights with enjoyable activities. Will enjoyed showing Elizabeth his favorite places in Paris and she was enthusiastic.

On their last night in Paris, Will took Elizabeth back to Eiffel Tower to see it all lit up at night for the last time on this trip. Will glanced down at Elizabeth with a loving smile, he willed her to look at him as he remembered the last time they were here. Just thinking about it excited him. He reached down to brush a stray curl out of her eyes and she glanced up at him through her lashes. His response to her was instantaneous; she is the most beautiful woman I have ever known. I can believe how lucky I am, I get to wake up with Elizabeth in my bed every day.

She reached up and stroked his face gently as she smiled up into his eyes. He pulled her to him and as his hand cupped her bottom he pulled her to him. He lifted her off the ground and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She moved against him seductively as she drew him to her. Elizabeth reached up, put her arms around his neck and pulled his head down to her as she caught his lips. He returned her kiss with equal enthusiasm.

His breathing was harsh as focused his attention on the hollow of her neck. His hands moved under her shirt and he was excited by the feel of her warm skin.

Will glanced around at the nearly deserted area and whispered in a velvety voice, "I want you right here, right now."

"Will we can't, this is a public place," she was flushed at the thought, "and we don't have any protection with us."

"It doesn't matter." He kissed the skin under her ear, "I want to have a baby with you."

Elizabeth's head snapped up to look at him and she released him and slid to the ground to face him. "Let me get this clear, you want me to get pregnant now."

"Yes, you know I want to have children."

"But I'm still in school." Elizabeth voice was calmer than she felt.

"Even if you got pregnant now you wouldn't have the baby until after you graduate." He leaned in to kiss her but she stopped him.

"Just because the baby wouldn't be here for nine months doesn't mean there wouldn't be changes for me before the baby comes." Elizabeth was trying to control her anger, "If I were to get pregnant right now in a few months I would start to have morning sickness and that wouldn't be conducive to studying. As the pregnancy would progress there would lots of problematic changes to my body."

"Of course, that's natural." Will searched her eyes, "It would be our baby growing inside of you."

"At my graduation, I would have to waddle up onto the stage to get my diploma." Will saw the anger flash in Elizabeth's eyes, "You think that is okay."

"Well... yes."

"Well, it isn't." Elizabeth lashed out at him, "Are all men this stupid or is it just you?"

"I don't know why wanting to have a baby with you is stupid." Will protested, "I love you and I just want to start a family."

Elizabeth took a few deep breaths before she asked, "What are our children's names?"

"What." Will was astonished by the switch in subject.

"I want to know what names you've picked out for our children." She looked up at him and caught his eyes as he blushed.

"I have thought that I would like a son named after your father or mine and our daughter after my mother, Anne."

"How long have you been thinking about this?" Elizabeth asked.

"I've been dreaming of that ever since I first met you." Will answered honestly, "My dreams have always been full of you and fantasies of our life together."

"Oh."

"Elizabeth are you so eager to end this marriage that you wouldn't even consider having a family with me?" There was a sadness in his face that drew Elizabeth to him.

She realized he was thinking of her comment about their marriage only being for four years and she knew that she had to reassure him. "Will, I don't want to end our marriage."

"You might not want it to end but you also don't want to commit to our marriage enough to have a baby with me." The bitterness of unrequited love had seeped into Will's thoughts.

Elizabeth felt as though he had slapped her verbally, "I didn't say that I didn't want children with you, I just don't think that now is the right time for the reasons I've already told you."

Will looked down into her eyes and searched for the truth in her incredible green eyes, "Do you really want to have a baby with me?"

"Someday." Elizabeth qualified her agreement, "But that doesn't mean we have to stop practicing."

"Practicing…" Will looked confused for a moment until her meaning became clear, "I like practicing with you."

"Maybe if I practice enough, I will be able to trade in my amateur status for that of an expert." Elizabeth put her arms around him and moved against him."

"I can teach you anything you want to know." Will said before he kissed her, "But when it comes to me, you are certainly not an amateur."

Will hailed a cab and escorted his wife back to their hotel room.

"Teach me how to please you." Elizabeth told him as they entered their room.

"You always please me." Will said as he picked her up and gently placed her on their bed.

"I mean show me what you like." Her eyes met his with desire dark echoed in their depths.

He joined her in the bed and taught her everything she wanted to know.

In the morning, they packed and got ready for their flight. The flight was uneventful but by the time they got home; they were exhausted and went right to sleep.

Will woke up early, looked at the clock and kissed Elizabeth until she woke. She sighed and stretched before she laid her head back on his chest as she tried to go back to sleep.

"Come on sleepyhead, it's time to wake up." Will shook her as she moaned in protest. "We can't spend all day in bed; we have to pick up Georgie from my aunt and uncle."

"Okay, I'm awake." Elizabeth sat up, "I might need some coffee this morning."

"But you don't drink coffee."

"I know." Elizabeth laughed, "That's how tired I am."

"It's been a long couple of weeks." Will said.

"And you didn't let me get much sleep our last night in Paris." She smiled archly as he pulled her back to him.

"That is true but it was worth it and we probably have a little time this morning." He growled in her ear.

"We can't spend all day in bed." Elizabeth chuckled as she mimicked his words and she rolled away from him.

"You are such a tease." Will grinned as he caught her, "I'll just call my aunt and uncle, they can bring Georgie here."

After Will made the call, he turned to his wife and asked, "So where were we?" Elizabeth showed him with pleasure.

A few hours later, the Fitzwilliam's arrived with Georgie who greeted Elizabeth and Will by throwing her arms around both of them in a tight hug.

"I'm so glad you're back." Georgie said once she had released them.

"Anyone would think you hadn't liked spending time with us." Margaret Fitzwilliam teased her niece.

Georgie blushed, "You know what I mean."

"There's no place like home." Margaret filled in for her before turning to her nephew, "Are you going to introduce me to your wife?"

It was Will's turn to flush red, "Elizabeth this is my aunt, Margaret Fitzwilliam and my uncle, Donald.

"Call me Don." He said as he shook her hand, "Donald's a duck."

Elizabeth laughed and said, "It's nice to meet you Don." With a smile she offered her hand to Margaret, "It's nice to meet you too. Both Georgie and Will always have nice things to say about you."

Margaret smiled at her nephew, "We've heard a lot of great things about you from Georgie." She leaned in to whisper to Elizabeth, "Have they told you about Catherine?"

"No, is there something to tell?" Elizabeth quietly asked as she glanced to her husband.

"She is not an easy person to deal with and she has quite a temper." Margaret told her, "I would not be surprised if she were to have a problem with your marriage."

Will wanted to changed the subject and said, "Why don't I take everyone out to lunch. There's a new restaurant that I've been wanting to try."

Everyone else agreed to his suggestion and lunch was a noisy affair as Elizabeth was the center of attention.

After lunch, when the Fitzwilliam's went to leave, Don took Will aside and said, "I like her a lot, she's a great girl." He pointed to Margaret who was chatting easily with Elizabeth, "She likes Elizabeth as well and you know my wife is very particular."

Well wishes were exchanged as the Fitzwilliam's got in their car and left. Will ushered Elizabeth and Georgie into the car and drove them home.

"Who is this Catherine that Margaret told me about?" Elizabeth asked her husband.

"She was my mom's best friend." Will was flushed, "She lives in New York now and I didn't anticipate her visiting for a while."

"Why would she have a problem with our marriage?" Elizabeth was not going to be put off so easily.

"She wants me to marry her daughter, Anne."

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, "Anne."

"She was named after our mother." Georgie told her.

When they arrived home, Elizabeth asked, "Did you want to marry Anne?"

"Obviously not, you surely know that." He pulled her into his arms, "I love you."

When Elizabeth looked up a Will with a smile and her eyes sparkling with humor, "I just wanted to hear you say it."

He whispered in her ear, "I guess I could show you how much I love you."

Georgie noticed the intimate behavior of her brother with Elizabeth and said loudly, "I'm going to my room, so don't mind me." She giggled as she left the room.

Will picked Elizabeth up and carried her upstairs to their room. He closed and locked the door before he began to undress his wife. She was wearing a pair of the lacy creations that he bought her in Paris and she looked exquisite. When he started to undress, she stopped him and slowly relieved him of his shirt. She ran her hands over the muscles of his chest before she moved to the button on his jeans. She unzipped him and caressed him lightly with her fingers. He moaned with pleasure, picked her up and dropped her onto the bed.

He shed his jeans and joined her on the bed as he settled within the comfort of her legs. He kissed her with an ardor that didn't diminish. They explored each other's mouths with abandon and as Will released her lips he lowered himself to kiss her neck. He moved down to her breast as he quickly removed her bra and took a pert nipple into his mouth.

She reveled in the feel that he evoked in her and moved against him until she felt him harden against her.

"God, I love you, you amazing woman." When their bodies joined together, they were raised to peaks of rapture as the ultimate release washed over them which left them contented and entwined together with their arms and legs.

Elizabeth watched Will sleep in the dark and felt a surge of affection for the man who was her husband.
