"I can't believe we are doing this. I can't believe we left all four kids with my parents." I say placing my face in my hands
Blake reaches across the center console and pulls one of my hands off my face intertwining our fingers.
"It's gonna be ok baby. They are with your mom. I mean you turned out pretty good."
"I know and I trust her I do. However Addie is only six months old. No. I need to stop. This is about us. This is you and me time. I'm excited to get to meet your friends."
"I'm excited to baby. Your gonna love them I know it."
"Yeah but what if they don't like me?"
"Gwen Luke hasn't shut up about how awesome you are and how excited he and Caroline are to hangout with you."
"Can you promise me something?"
"Anything sunshine."
"Don't leave me while we are there."
"Never baby"
We arrive at the air strip and board the plane. It's private and we have the whole run of the plane as always. Blake sits down and I sit so close to him I might as well be in his lap. He just chuckles and wraps an arm around me pulling me even closer. I lay my head against his chest and soak in the moment.

We get all of bags into our suite and decide we want to take a walk before meeting up with everyone for diner. As we walk down the secluded beach the magnitude of this moment hits me and I feel a tear sneak down my face. I didn't think he noticed till he reached up and wipe my cheek.
"Want to talk about it?" He asks and I shake my head no
We walk down the beach hand in hand. Finally I break the silence thinking I can finally talk without loosing it.
"Why did it have to take so long for us to find each other?"
"I don't know. I wonder the same thing a lot of the time."
"We spent such a big portion on our lives with the wrong people. I had three kids with the wrong man. Everyday since I accepted us as an us, I can't help but wish that you were my boys father. That I had found you first instead of him. Like we lost so much time together. Now when talking about kids it's not a do we want the but physically can we have them. It's not fair ya know."
"It's not fair, but you know what. All of that other mess in our lives made us perfect for each other. So I like to think God had to get us ready to be this perfect together. Gwen I love you." He says bending down to plant a kiss on my lips
I pull him closer to me as my fists grab ahold of his shirt. The kiss deepens but it's not a dirty kiss it's a kiss that is full of meaning. We separated and continue walking down the beach hand in hand. We don't say much but we don't need to the looks we give each other say more than words.

When we get back to our hotel we have about three hours before the agreed meeting time for dinner. After walking in the heat and sand a shower is a must. I grab a bra and under ware as I head toward the bathroom, deciding to pick my outfit out after the shower. I turn back to Blake who is sitting on the bed checking on the sports channel.
"Babe I'm hoping in the shower. You know we have a while before we have to go, you could join me. Or I mean you can sit there alone while I'm alone in the shower naked." I say with a smirk playing across my lips
