" I can't believe Eve and Jason wanted to take Lucy for the night to let us have time alone." Sage said.
" He wanted us to have a special night before we get back into the real world so what do you want to do Mrs. Colon?"
" Well I was kind of thinking of a nice relaxing bath. And I was hoping you might think about joining me. I can put some music on and we do have some nice wine leftover from the wedding that we can enjoy with a few strawberries."
" I guess I can try a bath for my beautiful wife." He kissed her gently."
" Good answer." Sage replied against his lips.
Benny held her hand in his arms and watched her wedding ring glint in the hallway light. " I still keep looking at my ring and yours like they aren't real."
" Me too." Sage smiled . " But they are and I love wearing mine for the rest of my life."
" I know you do."
Then they went to their bedroom to get their things for after their bath and Sage picked up her IPod.
Benny found a bottle of white wine and the extra chocolate covered strawberries and a few cookies that had been leftover in the kitchen and he placed them on a little platter.
When he got into the bathroom the water was already running and he saw Sage put a light blue colored round thing into the bottom of the tub.
" Is that one of those bath bomb things?"
" Yes it is, it's got a light floral scent. They call it moonlight dream in Izzy's store."
" Nice." Before they stepped into the tub together Sage clicked on her IPod on the dock and John Legend began to play. " Oh your boyfriend tonight , very nice." Benny wrapped an arm around Sage's waist gently as they sat down in the water together.
" I love him for his music but I love you for everything else that matters in my life."
Benny's face softened. " Honey."
" I want to make sure I tell you that enough."
" You do Sage."
Benny sipped some of the wine slowly and leaned back in the tub against the edge of it.
" So what do you think so far?"
" The water smells nice and you're here beside me. "
" So that means you might do this again sometime?"
" Maybe."
She smiled. " All right I'll take that."
They munched on some strawberries and cookies and listened to the music for a while in each other's arms.
After a while they got out and dried off while slipping into their things for the evening, Sage pulled on a robe that was a different color that her usual one.
" Was that a gift from your bridal shower or bachelorette party?" Benny asked.
" Eve got it as a just because."
" Well when you can look at the back." He smiled.
" Why what does it say ?"
" Mrs. Bear and there is a bear face picture beside it." His face flushed.
" Oh I love it. I'll have to get a picture for my phone."
" Good, when you take it off later we can."
" I like that idea, but what I also want right now is to be in my husbands arms in our bed with our cat at the bottom of it."
" All right I can accommodate that." Benny said " Meteor and the cat followed them to their room. He knew when it was time to rest though he was looking around for the other human who was usually here and who played with him.
" Your friend Miss Lucy will be home tommorrow bud."
Sage said " Come on sweet kitty."
Meteor hopped onto the foot of their bed and walked around before he sprawled out on it where Benny's feet usually were. The blankets were pulled down so they could get in.
" Do you think about giving Lucy a sister or brother?" Sage asked softly,
" Well I think I'd like her to be out of diapers first but we can always practice. If not there's always adoption. "
" All right, so it's not off the table."
" No I kind of like Lucy being the princess right now."
" I understand, she might not want to share her papa with anyone just yet."
" I'm still new at the dad thing, I want to make sure I'm getting it right,"
" Benny you adore her and she knows it. That's what matters most."
He leaned over and kissed her. " I love you Sage Colon."
She pulled him toward her. " And I love you my Benny."
