Our Song ON HOLD

33. Get Away

Libbie POV

Standing in the centre of the nursery I couldn't believe how much we had already got done. We had three months  before the babies were due and we were almost ready for them.

I had been to all the scans and D had come to the ones he could make. At the last one we had found out what we were having and I was waiting for him to come home so I could tell him.

We had kept the nursery neutral but at the same time left room to tweek each baby's side of the room. It seemed so surreal that in a short time there would be two babies in here, not only that but that were actually biologically mine and Damian's.

As I stand mindlessly gazing around the room I'm startled when arms encase my waist and soft lips and bristles press against my neck

"Hi" he whispers "I've been dying to hold you, I've missed you"

"Hi, I've missed you too" I sigh wrapping my arms over his "things are going to be so different soon"

"Yeah but in the best way possible" he says resting his chin on my shoulder as he joins me in looking around the room "at least we are ahead of schedule"

"Well now we can decide if we want to tweek anything" I smile

"Wait....really" he says excitedly "well don't just smile at me spill......I want to know"

"Yeah they cooperated this time" I say turning in his arms and wrapping my arms around his neck "one is a boy, the other is a girl"

"That's perfect" he smiles "that means we can have both names we loved we don't have to choose any others"

Lightly I press my lips to his enjoying his excitement. As he kisses me back he lifts me and gently spins me around before lowering me back down. For a moment he just rests his head agaisnt mine whilst holding my face in his hands.

I place my own on top of his and close my eyes absorbing the moment and the happiness we are both feeling.

"I've been thinking" he says pressing a light kiss to my forehead "in fact I did more than think.............I've booked us a night away, one last getaway before the twins arrive"

"But what about........."

"Stop.......its all sorted Lillianne is going to stay with her mom for the night and we will pick her up on the way back" he says holding me close "she's going to be just fine"

"So a night away huh?" I smile as he pulls me close enough that I can feel every muscle in his torso

"Well it's actually two, tonight and tomorrow night" he smirks "so you need to get packing"

"Do I get to know where you are whisking me off too?" I ask as we head to our bedroom to pack

"I knew you wouldn't want to go far so it's somewhere local but quiet" he says "it will be romantic and it will be just the two of us"

"Is that all I get" I ask cheekily

"If I tell you everything it won't be a surprise, now pack" he says playfully smacking my ass

Under his watchful gaze I pack a bag with everything I might need then to my complete surprise he pulls his own already pack bag out of the closet. He smirks at me and then places it outside the room.

"You planned this before you left" I say eyeing suspiciously, he says nothing just continues to smirk at me "you could have given me more time to pack"

"If I had done that you wouldn't be this excited and I love seeing you this happy" he says "all packed?"

"Yeah I'm good to go" I smile as he takes my bag

Silently we make our way out to the car and as he places the bags in the trunk I can't help but wonder what he is up to. I know it will be nothing bad but I am nothing if not curious about what this is all about.

As we drive he keeps one hand on my thigh occasionally glancing over at me with that knee weakening smile and all I can think is that I would go anywhere with this man, anywhere he wanted and I wouldn't think twice.

Finally we pull up outside a secluded holiday park with a few small waterside cabins. He parks up and within minutes he is back with the key and I swear his smile has gotten bigger.

We drive round the cabin furthest away from everything and get out of the car.
He grabs our bags and joins me by the door.

"Ready nightingale?" He asks and I nod

Slowly he unlocks the door and allows me to take few steps inside before switching on the lights. That's when I see a trail of rose petals on the floor.

I glance at Damian and he smiles nodding in the direction they are going in. I follow them all the way through to the bedroom where I find the bed is covered in rose petals, a bottle of champagne on ice is by the bed and gentle glow comes from the en suite.

Pushing the door open my nose it hit with the scent of essential oils in the bubbled bathwater and there are candles all around the room.

"D....I.......what did I do to deserve this?" I ask turning to look at him

"You really don't know?" He asks and I shake my head

"You have loved me in a way I've never known for nine months as of today" he smiles "the twins are due on our 1 year anniversary so I thought we could celebrate it early........Happy anniversary mi amor, I love you more than you could possibly understand and there is no else on this earth that I would rather be on this journey with"

"Happy anniversary dream lover" I say with a tear stained smile as I hold his face in my hands "just when I think I can't love you anymore you make me fall in love with you all over again. What do you say we enjoy that bath while it's still warm?"

"I thought you'd never ask" he smiles scooping me up in his arms and carrying me towards the bathroom
