Disclaimer/AN: This story is a coproduction of two role players. We're writing this story by taking turns for Mia and Brian. We don't own any of the characters (too bad) but hope you'll enjoy following us during this fresh start.

A Fresh Start

She couldn't help but get out of bed and step out of the house until her feet touched the sand. The sound of waves crashing against each other made her enjoy the moment even more. She was finally free… they were free. Smiling to herself she welcomed the cool wind that was now playing with her hair. Everything was okay… although she couldn't place her finger on it but for some reason a weird feeling of déjà vu came over her. She shook her head changing her way of thinking and once again focused on where she was now.

The morning was still early but the wind that blew in through the open windows and gently moved the curtains of the small beach house was already warm. Beads of sweat glistened all over Brian's naked body and only a thin sheet covered a small fraction of his skin. Nevertheless he felt uncomfortably hot as he rubbed his eyes, not willing to open them just yet. For a moment he thought he was in Miami but when he opened one of his pale blue eyes just a tiny bit he saw that he was far from the states…somewhere in a different country.

That's when he realized that Mia wasn't in bed next to him. So he rolled out yawning loudly and then stretched while he walked to the main room of the house from where he could see the ocean and beach in front of the wooden place.

As expected Mia was down on the beach. So Brian made a coffee, slipped into a pair of shorts and then stepped onto the sand with the cup of hot brown liquid in his hand. The sand was already warm beneath his toes- a promise of a hot, wonderful day.

From behind he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on her bare shoulder. Then he held out the cup and asked. "See any whales?"

It seemed like they were in a completely different world now.

**

She smiled as she leaned her body feeling protected and happy. She took the cup from his hands tasting the brown liquid and taking a moment to enjoy the wonderful aroma that was now making its way through her nostrils.

"Nope, no whales." turning her head mimicking his action, she kissed his shoulder. "Sorry I woke you up," she apologized.

"You didn't." Brian placed both hands on her hips and leaned down to kiss her bulging belly. "Hi, you." then he straightened his back and kissed her on the lips. "Hmm,coffee." His fingers twirl a long strand of her hair as he asked with a lovey dovey smile. "How come you look so great in the morning after keeping me up all night?"

Mia's tossing and turning, the heat and the huge rolled up blanket she used to support her belly in bed made night increasingly difficult .He was seriously considering sleeping on the beach.

**

"Ooh! I am so gonna be a soccer mom. This kid has one mean kick," she chuckled taking Brian's hand and placing it on her belly so he could feel their child moving inside of her. "I couldn't sleep, so sorry about me tossing and turning," remembering now why she decided to get out of the house. She still had two months to go until the baby was born. She was excited yet nervous.

"You need to go back to bed," she said looking at his tired expression and the dark circles under his blue eyes didn't help either. She kissed him on the lips "Come on..." taking his hand hoping to convince him to take a long nap.

**

Brian interlaced his fingers with hers but objected. "I'm okay, it's 8 am. I just need a coffee." Together with Mia he walked up to the wooden deck of the small place. It was really picture perfect. Right on the beach, miles from the next house…their own little hide away.

After he made himself a cup of coffee as well he joined his gorgeous girlfriend on the deck and sat down in one of the comfortable wicker chairs stretching out his legs. He blew on the cup sending small clouds of steam into the air.

"Have you settled on a name yet or are you going to leave that one up until the last minute?" He asked the question that had been a topic for the past few days. Since they were so far from civilization doctors visits had been far and few between so the couple hadn't found out the sex of their baby yet. Brian was convinced that it would be a boy though. With his finger he drew a name into the sand that had been blown onto the deck by last night's storm. 'JAKE'.

**

It was hard to explain how she felt, she was beyond happy. He sat down next to her with another cup of coffee in his hand. "hmm…" she looked at her cup of coffee thinking about some names and then her eyes were now looking at the name Brian wrote in the sand. "Jake. I like it but I think we'll have a girl. So, my choice is 'Sienna'," she would've love to bent down and write the name but with her belly it was hard to do it.

Her fingers held the cup a little tighter realizing that yes, they were far away from civilization meaning no doctors, no regular checkups or pre-natal vitamins… it was a little scary. "So, what do you think about the name?" trying to shake the anxiety she was starting to feel.

**

Sticking his toe into the sand he erased the name and took a long sip of coffee and thought about the name 'Sienna'.Then he nodded at looked up at Mia. "Not bad…I like it. Girly, sassy…yeah, but you know it's going to be a boy." He teased with a grin. "So you might as well forget about that name. He scribbled it into the sand where 'JAKE' was before and sipped on his coffee again.

"Maybe we should go to the market in Sierra Molina today and get some fresh greens to keep you round and healthy."He loved teasing Mia. She was by far the most beautiful woman he had ever met-inside and outside and had pretty much fallen for her right from the start. Even with a few more pounds on her hips and a large abdomen she was sexy as hell to him.

So he reached across the table and took her hand. "I love you, you know?" His eyes sparkled in the morning sun because , despite the fact he had throw his job and regular life over board, he was the happiest he'd ever been…if it wasn't for that tiny nagging voice in the back of his head that kept telling him. "Being an outlaw just won't work…something is going to go wrong'. Usually he kept those kind of thoughts to himself in order not to worry his girlfriend.

**

She tried to put on a serious face but the corners of her thin lips always curled up letting the smile win. She punched him lightly on his arm. "You are so sure is going to be a boy, but I have a feeling we'll have a girl," she stood up letting her cup of coffee on her chair and went to where Brian was and sat down on his lap hoping and praying the chair wouldn't break… it was a beautiful chair but the man on the chair was so much better. She placed her arms around his neck. "I know. I love you so much," looking at his wonderful eyes. She placed her head on his shoulder and kissed his neck followed by another kiss on his lips.

**

The chair sounded like an old door when Mia sat on his lap and threatened to break under their triple weight. When she looked him in this eyes Brian was always mesmerized but this morning he felt closer to her than ever. Closing his eyes he joined in the kiss, first gently caressing her lips with his, then sliding his tongue into her mouth and playing with hers. He couldn't help but smile and draw back. "Sorry, haven't brushed my teeth yet." He searched her lips again just to kiss her a little more passionately. This was where he always wanted to be with her.

For a moment they just sat, feeling the other one's body and watching the waves roll in.
"So, what do you say, breakfast in town?"Brian needed to have a look around for something he really wanted to buy if he got a moment alone.

**

What she loved the most was when he took control over the situation, and she happily returned the kiss, gently and slowly at first. She pouted when he stopped. She didn't care if he forgot to brush his teeth, having his lips on top of hers was the most important right now and then he kissed her again more hungrily, passionately, her hand still snaked around his neck pulling him closer to her. Their bodies hot to the touch, she moaned hoping he wouldn't stop; she craved for him but stopped to catch her breath. She closed her eyes placing her forehead against his as their breaths mixed, a warm breeze caressing their faces, no need for words just the sound of the waves.

Her eyes opened when he spoke. "I say that sounds wonderful, besides I'm starting to feel hungry…" she caressed her belly, kissing Brian's forehead.
