Lifting her head, she stared into his face and felt the quickening of her heart. "I love you so much." Her voice was filled with emotions that triggered his own. He wanted to get away with her, to be alone with her, just the two of them.
“And I adore you my sweet, beautiful wife." His hands framed her face and drew her in for a kiss, one that quickly had them clinging to each other.
Dragging his lips from hers, he held her close and fought the compulsion and yearning shuddering inside his body.
"We’ll leave as soon as possible." He whispered thickly.
“Absolutely.”

“Mark should be in there somewhere.”
“Your Dad’s name?” He was flushed from the hectic lovemaking they’d indulged in as soon as they entered the cabin. Propping his head on his palm, he was rubbing her baby bump slowly.
He loved seeing her lying on her back, her hair spread out on the pillows and his ring on her finger. His own plain gold band was picking up the light from the bedside lamp.
“Hmm. What do you think about Andre Mark?”
“Andre?” He raised an eyebrow at her. “Why?”
She shrugged. “I just like the name. Surely you didn’t intend to give our son your name and call him junior?”
He grinned at her. “What’s wrong with my name?”
“Absolutely nothing. I just want our son to have his own identity and I hate the term ‘Junior’, it follows you around.”
“I don’t know where you’re getting that from.”
“How would you feel if your Dad named you Sydney?”
He grimaced at that and made her laugh. “My point exactly.”
“Brady is an honorable name.”
“Picking up her left hand, he stared at the rings he had given her. Bringing her hand to his lips, he kissed the rings and then her knuckles before turning her hand over to press his lips against the softness of her palm.
She turned into his arms, climbing on top of him. “I thought you were tired, my love.”
“Not by a long shot.” She cupped his face between her hands. “This is our honeymoon and I want all night.”
“Let me see what I can do.” Lifting her slightly, he showed that he was ready for her.

“I want the excitement” Michelle told her daughter as she studied her reflection in the mirror. Rising, she held out her hands to the younger woman wearing an blue pantsuit. Her baby bump was obvious and she looked radiant. “I’ve been in love with Syd for what seems like forever. How do I look?”
“Like a bride.” Leaning forward, Macayla kissed both her cheeks. “You're beautiful, Mom.”
“I’m so happy. The cancer treatment is going well and I’m keeping a positive outlook. I have a new lease on life. A son, very soon, a grandson and a husband.” She laughed lightly. “I can safely say this will be my last marriage.”
“I know. Ready?”
Letting go of her daughter’s hands, she turned to look at her reflection in the mirror. The chic shell pink dress was a classic and suited her immensely. Her thick brown hair was pulled back into an elegant chignon at the nape of her neck.
“I am.”
At their positions standing for their parents, Brady and Macayla exchanged looks as the couple repeated their vows. It’d been three weeks since their own wedding and they were still in the honeymoon phase.
