Thank you for the continued support. I know updates haven't been quite as constant as we would all like, but I'm slowly, but surely getting there. We got a Pug puppy about three months ago and she is just a blur of energy. Puggy got sick last week and I thought she was a goner, so that scare really affected the muse and made me hold off on putting this chapter together. This story is all about the baby quest, so I didn't want sad feelings to muck up the chapter. Thankfully, it is finally complete and the next one (which will be in Stephanie's POV) is already underworks;)

The lovely Kim (MMBabefanmmm) deserves a virtual gift basket to be personally delivered by a naked Ranger for helping me out so much on this story. Whether it's to bounce off ideas or to edit what I have written, she's just amazing all around. She had great suggestions for this chapter, which led to a much hotter shower scene below;). Let's thank her for helping me post this update today vs. who knows when.

Oh, before I forget. The other day I stumbled across this article that revolved around the question of 'how much sex do you need to be happy?'. The accuracy of the result can be questioned, but it stated that having sex at least once a week is enough to be happy. Now, S&R have most definitely passed the once mark on this story, so…

Smile firmly in place, I disconnected and slipped the phone back in my pocket. The surprise I have in mind will definitely blow Babe away. I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't as excited as Babe will be once she finds out. A beachy private getaway? It's perfect. The water, the sun, us and uninterrupted sex… A shiver coursed through me just thinking about the possibilities.

Silently, I did a quick walkthrough of the area to make sure everyone was asleep. As soon as I confirmed that possible interruptions were all tucked in and soundly sleeping, I finally kicked off my boots so I could rejoin my wife.

Even in the darkness I could make out most of her features, quickly realizing she was fast asleep. Her even breathing and still form told me she was in deep. Too bad. With a sigh, I squeezed in next to her. Closely pressed to her back, I rested my head next to hers as I swiftly zipped up the sleeping bag to keep us warm. Almost instantly sleep claimed me.

It felt like I had just closed my eyes when I was jolted awake. Heart racing, I immediately realized Babe wasn't by my side. But before I could react, I heard the sound of a zipper sliding.

"Come." She said to me in a hushed whisper that had every cell of my being standing at attention. Wordlessly, I followed.

Once we entered the cabin she motioned for me to be quiet. I flashed her a tight smile that was swallowed by the darkness. Babe knows I'm about the stealthiest person around. Although, she's always been able to sense me in a crowd without actually seeing me, but that's another story.

Babe ushered me into the bathroom and I followed without protest. I watched silently as she closed and locked the door before flicking the light on. My wife turned the water on, whipped around to face me and reached for me all in a matter of seconds. "I need you."

I didn't have to be told twice. In once swift move, we were pressed flush together and as I backed us towards the shower we simultaneously undressed each other. Before either of us knew it we were under the hot water spray, our hands wandering hungrily over bare skin. I wanted to devour her. My lips wanted to kiss every inch of her, my hands itched to touch every curve, my cock wanted to be deep, deep inside and both my mind and body internally battled to do it all at once.

There was so much we apparently wanted to do and all at once, that it took us some time to even decide how we wanted it. Neither of us could really complain about the delay, because the time was very well spent re-exploring each other. My hands and lips seemed to have worked out some sort of arrangement after all, because they worked in sync to help me savor her soft, creamy skin.

And just as the caresses, groping and nipping kisses led to me positioning my aching cock at her entrance, someone rattled the doorknob loudly.

"Fuck!" I growled in her ear, even as I allowed the tip to slip tantalizingly inside. As her legs tightened around my waist, I instinctively thrust deeper.

"We need to finish…," The way her tongue tangled with mine and her breathy tone was indication enough of how much she needed for this to happen. And then she rotated her hips provocatively, leaving me no choice but to succumb easily. In that moment I gave no shits for whoever was outside that door. They could piss their pants for all I cared.

"You want it," I growled against her lips as my hips began to move. "You got it."

I'm not going to lie and say we made sweet, sweet love. Nope, it was hot and heavy sex. It was raw and needy and exactly what we needed. The way we went at it was as if we hadn't been together in ages. It sounds kind of ridiculous, especially because just yesterday we ravished each other quite thoroughly in our living room, but I swear our bodies moved as if we've been separated for a long period of time. The sex we just had was by far even more intense than the first time we did it, and that's saying a lot. Shit, the fact that I saw her naked practically as soon as we met led to one hell of an intense first night together. After that night, I knew there would be no going back. Babe barged in, took up permanent residence in my mind and heart and simply refused to leave.

"That was…," Babe trailed off on a breathy laugh as I eased her back onto her feet. "You'd think it's been ages since we've done it." Another breathy chuckle had my dick wanting round two. "What's wrong with us?" Again, that laugh. I was about to reach for her again when there was a loud and insistent knock on the door.

"Come, on!" I heard Valerie say, indicating she was close to losing the battle. That about did it. With a deep sigh of frustration and reluctance, making a slight adjustment to the water temperature, I regained control of my body.

Okay, it was only slight control. Truth is, if Babe turns around and says she wants another round, we're having another round. Even if that means her sister will have some cleaning up to do in the hallway.

"Shit." Babe let out a few choice curse words when she realized in our haste we forgot to get clean clothes. Or towels, for that matter.

"Babe." The rumble of my laughter made Babe snap her attention back to me.

"What's so funny?" The narrowing of the eyes was not a good sign. The wonders of the beyond good sex we just had will quickly fade if I don't play my cards right. And I need her in a good mood so that I can show her the surprise I worked out over the phone when I had my stroke of genius last night.

Her eyes tracked my every move as I stepped out of the shower to grab my previously discarded T-shirt. Surprised at my ingenuity, Babe willingly allowed me to use the shirt to help dry her most important feminine bits.

"I think my breasts are sufficiently dry now." Babe's pointed look and slap to my hand reminded me we had to move.

I put my pants back on, not bothering to dry myself off, before going out to grab some clothes for us.

"About time…," Valerie's comment died on her lips when she saw me exit shirtless and quite obviously fresh out of the shower.

"I think your sister will never look at this bathroom the same way ever again." I joked once I returned. Hell, Val might not even need to use the bathroom so urgently now.

"Oh god!" Babe took her clothes from me with a shake of her head. "First, Grandma Mazur and now Val?"

"Hey, your Grandma barged in on me while I was in the shower." I leaned against the sink as Babe shimmied into an excuse for underwear she likes to call a thong. But fuck, I don't complain. "Had it been you…," I cocked my head towards the shower as a reminder of what would have happened.

"Right." She smacked my chest playfully in retaliation, which made her breasts sway deliciously with the movement. Damn, if we don't get dressed soon we'll definitely get to round two now.

What's the matter with us? There's always been this magnetism, this magic when it comes to us, but lately it feels like everything's intensified. The sensations, the need, the love, the urgency… everything. I have no idea what it means, but I love it. After all the time we have lost, we deserve it.

"We will definitely continue this later." I promised as I hastily dressed before collecting our dirty clothes. With a quick kiss, I left her alone to finish.

As I headed outside I could feel the heat of Valerie's stare. I think my sister-in-law will never let Babe live this one down.

I was busy pondering how to get Babe and I out of today's activities without seeming like a jerk for ditching the family celebration, when Edna snuck up on me. Well, she tried at least.

"Would you like to join me on a walk down to the beach?" She said sunrise would be in a few minutes and wanted to experience it with a handsome man at her side.

"I'd be honored." I said truthfully as we started the short walk to our destination.

"This has been the best birthday I've had in a long time." Edna was sure to point out how fun it's been, despite the hasty change of plans. "Don't be too hard on Lester. He's a softy and it was all my fault."

I nodded, unsurprised, when she recounted the order of events. A pretty face and a perky body will be Lester's downfall one day. "I'll try."

As we watched the sun rise, another idea hit me. Who else to be my accomplice for this surprise than the master accomplice? Babe's told me the stories. Edna sure loves to assist, no matter how farfetched the plans are. I can actually picture a younger Babe getting her ass covered by her grandmother.

Virtually as soon as the request left my lips she was totally on board. Perfect. Babe's in for a hell of a surprise.

carrotmusic and Guest guessed where these two are headed next :D
