I felt like maybe we should hear Ranger's POV and I will do a chapter showing the Burg's reactions. Thanks for reading.

Ranger POV

I woke up with her still in my arms. I was so surprised and thrilled that she texted me; of course I was going to meet her on the beach near my house in Deal. I had missed her like crazy and even though I seemed jealous of Tank's care packages, each one meant that she was really ok and in good spirits. I had decided when I read her letter that when I saw her again, I was proposing. No more hesitations.

I love and adore Babe and she did not have to change anything about herself for me. I am glad that she is in a good headspace now. I kiss her forehead and get out of bed. She should sleep for another hour or so. We celebrated quite a bit when we got to the house. I take a shower and wonder if Babe will be pleasantly surprised or weirded out that I have clothes here in her size. I always try to be prepared and I hope we can spend quiet times here whenever I have to come to the Trenton office.

I am definitely taking Babe to visit the other offices right after I take her to Vegas. I want to be married right away. We can wait for kids if she wants or we can adopt, I just want her to be my wife. I fix waffles and I even put whipped cream and hot apples on hers. I can be indulgent, since she had a long day yesterday. I feel like I have had a long day for the whole 18 months my Babe has been away from me.

Her body looks fantastic and it turned me on to remove weapons from her body before we made love. Damn, I did not think I could love her more than I already did, but to see her taking her safety seriously was a strong aphrodisiac to me. My Babe might need this tea with lemon that I am bringing her for her voice. Heh heh.

I am brought out of my musings by my phone ringing. I answer only because it is Tank. "Yo." I carry the tray into the bedroom and place it on the bedside table. I open the curtains to the terrace and watch Babe fight to stay asleep with the sun shining on her beautiful face. "Man, we are getting inundated with calls from the TPD. You are a suspect in the car bombings and house fires set at several locations last night in town."

I wait him out because I know that if it was serious, he would be telling me the escape plan. Nothing is ruining my wedding day. Well, nothing unless Babe is not willing to marry me today. I smile at her as she pulls the covers over her head. I love that her hair is now shades of brown and even a little blonde, because it is still wild and curly.

"I gave them the dvds that prove your whereabouts all day yesterday, man. I guess it is a good thing you were at the Salvation Army's benefit with the freaking mayor last night, too, huh? That is quite the coincidence." He is teasing me. Of course she made sure I had an alibi. Finally, I decide that he only called to tease me, so I decide to get him back.

"Yo, Tank, I am off line for the next two weeks, then I am relocating to Miami, but I will visit Boston and ATL on my way. Please have Ella pack and ship my things to the Miami beach house. You are in charge of this branch now, unless you want to move as well. We can shuffle management with Diego. He won't care if he comes up here."

There is complete silence on the phone for several minutes. I pull the covers off of Babe's head and kiss her lips. She smiles against my lips and kisses me back. One of us moans and that snaps Tank out of his daze.

"Rangeman, are you sure?" I kiss Babe and point to the tray. She beams a smile at me and runs to the bathroom first. Completely naked. Tank needs to hang up. "I am very sure, Tank. Please have those things handled for me and can you ask Randle to have the plane ready for later this afternoon?" He laughs loudly in my ear. "What, Tank?"

"Man, are you leaving because of the newspapers?" What?

"What are you talking about?" I hear the shower. He needs to hurry up. "The papers this morning are all about an exclusive. It's all about Little Girl and how she was adopted and never told about her real parents. She gave an interview and basically said she never fit into the Burg because she is not really Burg." Wow, go Babe. Tank is still talking.

"She talks about Helen and Frank and how they treated her differently than her sister Valerie. She shoves all their skeletons out of the closet. She talked about Morelli and how no one did anything when he was 18 and she was 15 working at the donut shop and he statutory raped her. She calls the town worse than Stepford and says that she is finally happy and free of all of the haters that tried to hold her back. She also says, well." He stops talking.

"Yes, Tank?" He hesitates. "Just say it, Tank."

"She says in the interview that she is in love with a wonderful man that she wants to spend the rest of her life with and she will not be back. I am so sorry, man." He sounds really sad for me.

"Tank, Babe is with me and after tonight she will be my wife." He laughs again.

"Hot damn. I was worried about you for a minute there, man. You was all talking about leaving town. Congratulations and tell Little Girl I miss her. Have a good one, man. See you soon. I want to move to Miami more than I want to run this office." I smile. He wants to watch my back still. He is a good friend.

"Thanks, Tank. I will let her know. See you soon, man." I hang up and realize the shower has stopped. Dios, I missed my chance to ambush Babe. Suddenly, she tackles me to the bed and I laugh because she surprised me.

Steph POV

"Good morning, Carlos." I love calling him Carlos. I wonder if I can convince him we should get married today like in Vegas. He smiles at me and I kiss him. I love this man so much. He moans and rubs my back.

I am wearing a teal sundress that is a halter dress with a neckline that ties at the back of my neck. The hemline comes to just above my knees. It even flairs. There is a white flower embroidered on it in the front. If this was a white dress with a teal flower, I would totally use it as the wedding dress. Still, this might be okay. I look at Carlos. Did I say any of that out loud? He smiles at me.

"Let's eat, Babe and we can plan our wedding." Wow. We are on the same wavelength. We sit on the terrace and eat and enjoy the weather.

"Babe, what do you think about getting married today?" He looks nervous. Wow. Batman should not be worried. I am going to say yes. I get up and sit on his lap and kiss him while playing with his hair.

"Carlos, that is a great idea. I love it. I just want to get the newspaper first. Can we do that?" He kisses me deeply and bites my bottom lip. I am going to need at least another hour to recuperate from what he did to me in that bed earlier. I ease away from him and smile. "Let's pack."

I get up and race to the closet that I am sure has luggage we can use. I am so excited. I still kind of want to see what those houses and cars look like and their reactions. I hope Hector got the videos for me.

I heard my phone ding stating I have an email. This is great! I am getting married and I can see my revenge! I race to the laptop on the dresser and enter my password to open my email program. Carlos comes up behind me and kisses my neck. We both watch the chaos I caused with my revenge and then I pack so we can leave on our way to a better life, together.
