The next morning Jared and Thalia slept in. Thalia surprisingly woke before Jared did so she crawled as quietly as she could from the bed after disentangling herself from his long arms. She padded to the kitchen in bare feet and scratched Sadie behind the ears as she passed her curled up on the couch. Pulling out the ingredients to make chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast she got busy making those. She would let Jared sleep until she had them ready. He had told her that they would get two weeks off in about 5 weeks and he and Jensen had a surprise for the girls. She smiled while fixing the breakfast and thinking about how hard she knew it was for Jared to keep a secret. He was like a kid in was a candy store and she knew it must be something good. His eyes would light up when he would talk about it. All she knew was that he wouldn't even let her pack for the event.
Jared was still sleeping when the pancakes were finished so she fixed two plates and two glasses of orange juice. She carried the tray with the food and drinks on it to the bedroom and sat it in a chair in the corner. Walking over she looked down at Jared as he slept. He looked so peaceful and just like a little boy. She reached to smooth some hair out of his face and then bent to kiss his lips. Pulling back after a slow kiss she crooned, "Good morning handsome. I have your breakfast ready." Jared blinked his eyes open and smiled up at her groggily. She leaned down to kiss him again and he wrapped his arms around her, nearly pulling her down on top of him. "I could get used to a wake up call like that.", he says as he looks into her green eyes. "Well you better let me put this food over here before it gets cold or Sadie decides it's for her." Jared laughed and released her so she could get the tray of food. "I brought mine in here too. We can have breakfast in bed." Jared took the tray and sat it on the bed. Thalia made her way to the side of the bed and climbed back in beside him.
Jared grabbed a remote from the bedside table and pushed a series of buttons. Soft music soon filled the air, Thalia marveled at Jared's eclectic taste in music. Today it seemed he wanted the soft sounds of instrumental music. The two sat and talked about things going on during the shoots and the gag reel stuff that was being captured. Jared told her about pranks he had pulled on the other members of the cast as well as Jensen. Soon their thoughts turned to Tiara and they wondered how she was. "When we get done here let's get dressed and go check on her. I hate that she's been sick.", Jared says as concern wrinkles his brow. Thalia could tell he cared very much for his friend. Thalia nodded, "Sounds like a good idea to me."
When they were showered and had on clean clothes the couple walked the few yards to Jensen's trailer. Jared held Thalia's hand and smoothed his thumb over the back of her hand as they walked. Looking down at her he kissed her gently before they stopped to knock on the door of the other trailer. Jared knocked and they waited for the door to open. Tiara came to the door after a few seconds. She looked so much more alert than she had yesterday when Thalia had left her. "Tiara you look ok. Thalia said you were pretty sick yesterday.", Jared said almost in shock. Tiara laughed as she looked down at her friends. "I'm much much better. You two come in. Jensen is in here playing a video game." Jared and Thalia followed Tiara into the trailer that looked very similar to the one that Jared had. When Jensen saw them come in he paused his video game. He had a goofy grin on his face as he stood and hugged Thalia and then clapped Jared on the back. "Ok why are you acting so weird Jensen?" Jensen went to stand beside Tiara and he put his arm around her waist. He smiled over at Jared and Thalia. "So Jare what do you think about being an uncle?"
Jensen stood beside Tiara who was beaming beautifully. Jensen looked like the proudest daddy anyone could ever hope to see. Jared broke out into a huge smile that deepened his dimples enough that it looked as if you could drown in them. "Are you kidding me?", he said in disbelief. Tiara smiled, "We're not kidding Jared. I'm going to have a baby." Jared took two strides over to Tiara and lifted her off the ground and spun her around. "Oh my God you're going to make a great mother Tiara. Congratulations!" He sits Tiara on the ground and Thalia hugs her too. "Congratulations my friend. If you ever need a sitter you can count on Jared and me. Jared shot a look at Thalia, "You've got that right! I can't wait to keep my little niece or nephew."
***************************************
The next few weeks were full of filming, working, planning and then getting ready for a trip. Jared and Thalia went to her house and he grabbed a bag. He made her go to the living room and watch a TV show while he packed her stuff. After what seemed like forever, Jared finally came out of Thalia's room. He waggled his eyebrows at her, "Girl you have some sexy stuff in there! I hope you don't mind that I packed some of that for you too!" Thalia threw the remote at Jared and he caught it midair. "You scoundrel you!", she laughed as Jared stalked toward her and she retreated to the other side of the couch. Jared grabbed her and sat pulling her into his lap. His fingers tickled her along her sides and she squirmed trying to get away. "Stop stop! I can't stand it! Jared!" He stopped his tickling and pulled her close. "If we had more time I'd take you in that bedroom right there and teach you a lesson or two.", he said huskily. Thalia trembled at the thought.
Jared did pull her into a kiss that lingered a while. After several minutes but before anything major could get started they stopped what they were doing. Jared patted Thalia's bottom, "I guess we better go meet Jensen and Tiara. They'll wonder where we are and we can't afford to be late." Wish one last kiss Thalia stood and took Jared's hand, pulling him up from the couch. Jared grabbed her bag and placed it in the back of the SUV with his own.
A few minutes later they were pulling up at the airport. "I thought we were meeting Jensen and Tiara?", Thalia questioned. Jared climbed from the SUV and grabbed both their bags. He walked around to Thalia's side and opened the door for her. "This is where we're meeting them silly." Thalia's eyes widened but she followed Jared to check in their bags. After the bags were checked they went to their designated waiting area where they found Jensen and Tiara. From the looks of things Tiara was trying to find out from Jensen just where they were going. When Tiara saw Thalia and Jared she stood up and walked toward her friends. She hugged Thalia, "How are you feeling today Tiara?", she asked looking into her friend's eyes trying to read her expression. "I feel pretty good today. Some days I feel really rough but today is a good one."
As they stood there talking a voice came over the intercom calling for their flight. Jared pulled the tickets and passports out of his bag and the foursome made their way onto the plane. By this time the girls had found out their destination was Cancun. The flight wasn't an overly long one but it was long enough that Tiara was able to get in a little nap. Jensen watched over her as she slept and Jared sat beside Thalia holding her hand. The flight was smooth with very little turbulence. The views outside were absolutely beautiful. When they were over the water in Cancun Jensen woke Tiara so she could see just how blue the waters were. The couples watched as the plane began its descent. The views went from specks on the ground and water all around to less and less views of the water and more and more views of what Thalia could only describe as jungle. She was so excited to spend the next two weeks here with Jared, Jensen and Tiara. She was glad that she had kept up her tan after the warm weather had subsided.
When they landed and were off of the plane they were escorted to a private van for just the four of them. The driver was given some paperwork from Jensen. He nodded and Jared did the interpreting. Being from San Antonio he had picked up quite a lot of Spanish. The friends shared some of the best champagne Thalia had ever tasted and sparkling cider for Tiara. Jared told them the driver said the ride would be about a half hour to their final destination. The four settled back together and talked excitedly. None of them had been to Cancun before but they were all looking forward to their time here.
