“My sweet, I would give you ten children if you wanted me to, you know how much I love you, you’re my life, you’re my heart Eve Crane.”
She looked at him and smiled when he said his last name with hers, making her think even more about their upcoming wedding which had been put off long enough due to their daughter’s arrival.

“Julian, let’s go get married right now.” She said taking his hands.

“Oh honey, we can’t just do that, we have to plan it.”

“Why Julian, we love each other, let’s just go for it.”

“As much as I want a simple ceremony, I am not going to pop down to city hall in a pair of jeans and get hitched.” He said laughing.

“Why not, we will take Ashtyn with us, let’s go.”

“Eve.” He said putting his hands on her shoulders.

“I mean it Julian, right now, let’s go.”

“Listen to me, I love you, I really do, but let’s plan it a little bit, can’t we?”

“Fine.” She said, pouting slightly.

“If you want to do it in a hurry, how about Las Vegas then? We can make at trip out of it.”

“No I don’t want to go to Vegas Julian, I would just as soon get married in Harmony.”

“Okay, how about Niagara Falls?”

She looked at him and thought about it for a minute.

“Sweetheart, it would be great, we have never been there, it would be so much fun.”

“But you have to work don’t you?”

“Eve, this is my wedding, if they said Julian you have to work today, I would say kiss my…”

“Julian!” she said laughing.

“You only get married once right, er, okay wrong choice of words sweetheart. I mean you only find real love once.” He said sighing.

“Well…”

“You only find true love with the woman you are destined to be with, your soul mate, you Eve, you are my one true love. The mother of my two children, you are everything to me.” He said hugging her.

“Awww Julian.”

“You are Eve, our son who we will find one day and our darling Ashtyn, what else could I ask for? Everything will be okay Eve, my father is pushing up daisies now, so he is no longer a threat to us, let’s do this, we will get a babysitter for Ashtyn.”

“No babysitters.” She said panicking.

“But Eve..”

“No Julian, my baby girl is too precious to me, I will never let her be with anyone again!” she said, being overprotective with good reason.

“I know what happened, but that was my father, and Lily was good.”

“I don’t care.” She said crossing her arms.

She walked over to the window, staring out of it for a few moments when Julian came behind her and put his arms around her.

“I know how much you love Ashtyn.” He said kissing her neck.

“Don’t you, she’s your baby too.”

“Of course I love her, but this is our wedding, our honeymoon.”

“So what, we will take her with us, we can’t leave her with Lily.” Eve said.

“Eve, sweetheart, I know you are scared, but you have to learn to trust that she will be okay, otherwise, she will be living with us until she’s fifty.” He said trying to make her smile.

“It’s not funny.” She said turning to face him.

“Look, if you aren’t comfortable with Lily, then let’s leave her with Sheridan or Grace, will that make you feel better?”

“We will be gone too long, she needs us Julian.”

“Yes and we will have plenty of time in the future to show her how much we are there for her. How about this, we can even have a short visit in Niagara Falls, just a few days if it will make you feel better.”

“I just don’t want to leave her for too long you know?”

“I understand that, but we can be on a flight to Niagara in no time and be back, what do you say? I want at least a honeymoon if you want a quick ceremony.”

She sighed heavily and walked into the living room.

“Eve, you want to get married right away you said, this will be great.”

“I said in Harmony.”

“That’s boring honey.”

“It’s not, we live here, we fell in love again here, and everything is here.”

“Yes and it always be here, Niagara Falls isn’t just down the road, come on Eve, you know you want to. We can see the Falls, take in the sights, and stay at a nice hotel, ooh la la.” He said kissing her ear.

She couldn’t help but smile at him and finally agreed to go. Eve watched Julian pack up his stuff and was amazed.

“What is it Eve?”

“That’s all your are bringing?”

“Why?”

“You hardly packed anything, you need extra socks, boxers.”

“No I don’t.”

“You can’t wear the same ones.”

“I don’t plan on wearing anything at all.” He said devilishly.

“I realize that, but you aren’t going to go out on the street with nothing at all.”

“Why not, give Niagara Falls a free show.”

She slapped his arm playfully.

“You are bringing a lot of stuff for our honeymoon and you, my love, won’t need any of this either, we will never leave the room.” He said laughing.

“I do want to see the falls if we are going all that way.”

“You can’t glance at it out the window briefly and come back to bed.” He said smiling.

“Anyway, you are really starting to sound like a husband.”

“Am I, really?”

“Yes of course, although you have a bit of the old and horny Julian left in you.”

“Sweetheart, you are stuck with that side of me forever so get used to it, oh I can’t wait to book the hotel, what fun we will have my darling.”

“Okay enough said.”

He smiled at her as she took his bag from him and put in a few more items. He loved watching how she took over, and he didn’t mind. Julian had certainly become more easygoing, so he was always happy to let Eve do some of the things she wanted and that included repacking some of his luggage.

“Where’s your toothbrush?” she said going through the bathroom drawer.

“I don’t know.”

“Julian, how many times have I asked you to put things back neatly?”

“A million.” He said laughing.

“It doesn’t take much really to be tidy now does it, sometimes I…”

She stopped talking and started laughing.

“What?”

“Oh God, do I ever sound like a wife, I am nagging you now.”

“Good, I like it.”

“But didn’t Ivy or Rebecca do the same thing?”

“Yeah but I didn’t listen to them, but I will listen to you.” He said kissing her.

When they packed everything, they had decided to leave Ashtyn with Sheridan and Luis and when she handed her to Sheridan, she cuddled up in her arms, and Julian knew they had done the right thing.

“Oh baby, mommy loves you.” Eve said stroking her hair.

“We will take excellent care of her, I promise.” She said looking at Luis.

“I have no doubts, you are wonderful with children.” Julian said to her.

He hoped that one day Luis and her would be able to have another child of their own. In the meantime, they did feel quite content leaving Ashtyn with them. She turned to see Julian and put out her arms.

“Oh honey, look.” Eve said smiling at her.

He took her and held her close, rocking her back and forth. He was still amazed every time he looked at that sweet angelic face, that she was really his.

“Daddy will miss you Ashtyn, I love you, you have fun with Auntie Sheridan and Uncle Luis.”

He kissed her forehead and when they shut the door, they were on their way.

“This is going to be so much fun, I mean it Eve, finally you will be Mrs. Julian Crane, I hope that’s a good thing.”

“You mean considering I am like the twentieth Mrs. Crane?” she said laughing.

“Hey!”

“I’m kidding Julian, it will be wonderful.” She said kissing him.

When they arrived, the checked into their hotel, a Marriott, which had, falls view rooms, perfect for a honeymoon. Julian opened the door and Eve was in awe. The room was gorgeous, king bed, heart shaped Jacuzzi, just everything they wanted to make their time there special.

“I love this, it’s perfect, so let’s find a chapel and get married right now.” She said putting down her bag on the luggage rack.

“Honey, honey, I thought maybe we would get a bite to eat first.”

“You are hungry now?”

“A little, but perhaps we could have dinner the Julian Crane way.”

“Oh really.” She said crossing her arms.

“Yeah we could eat our dinner, naked.” He said laying her back on the bed to look into her eyes.

“I think we should just go and find a chapel, let’s get married first and then we can have all the fun you want.” She said playing with his hair.

“I want it to be romantic Eve.”

“It will be Julian, I just want to finally be able to be your wife, that is what we came here for, and I want to make it official.”
