"Thank you so much for this." Connie said to Dawn. "Are you sure it's ok? I mean it's three nights!" Mark, dawn and Emily were stood outside with Connie, Jacob and Grace.
"We'll be fine won't we Grace?" Asked Dawn.
"Yep, of cause!"
Grace was stopping with Dawn and Mark for a few nights while Connie and Jacob spent some time together. They weren't going far, they'd rented a secluded cabin just outside hobby.
"Go on!" Said Mark. "Get in the car, get your things and go relax, enjoy yourselves. It'll not be so easy when the baby arrives."
"Ok, ok, we're going... Come here Grace." Connie held on to Grace for a little while. This would be the longest they'd ever been apart since she'd moved back home. "Do you have everything you need, tooth brush, plenty of clothes, all your essentials that you can't seem to do without, iPad, phone, chargers....?" Grace rolled her eyes.
"Yes mum. I have everything I need."
"Come here you!" Said Jacob to Grace. "Your mum's not the only one that'll missed you." And gave her a hug.
The couple started to get into the car. "Love you Gracie." Said Connie.

They arrived home to pick up their cases, they were left waiting by the door. So when Connie started to head upstairs Jacob was confused.
"Err... excuse me Mrs Masters but .... where do you think your going? All our things are right here."
"I was just going to get changed...why?"
"Oh no you don't!" Said Jacob leading her back down the stairs. "I've been looking forward to taking that dress off you all day! ....so back in the car!"
Connie tried to look annoyed as she walked passed him back but Jacob didn't miss the slight blush and the twitch of her lips.
He walked out of the house with a definite swagger.

They arrived at the cabin about an hour later. Jacob grabbed their thing from the car while Connie opened the door.
"Wait there!" Shouted Jacob.
"What's wrong?"
Jacob dropped the bags just inside the door and lifted Connie into his arms, he laughed as she let out a squeal.
"I'm going to carry my beautiful wife over the threshold." Said Jacob as Connie wrapped her arms around his neck as Jacob kicked the door shut behind them.

Jacob had indeed enjoyed himself slowly devastating Connie of her dress and now they were laid in each other's arm's.
"I can't believe it's all over, the day went so fast. Some of it feels like a complete blur." Said Connie and Jacob kissed her head.
"I know what you mean, especially the reception, we hardly got to see each other."
"We're got three whole days to make up for it now though." Connie smiled.
"Connie...somethings just occurred to me and I feel pretty bad about it."
"What is it?" Connie was puzzled.
"Well through all this I just took for granted that you would take my name...I mean at work... you've built a career and a reputation under the name Beauchamp and I just expected you to drop it...I didn't think... I'm sorry!" Said Jacob quietly.
"Jacob your my husband, of course I want to take your name but I'll admit that when it comes to my work, I'll find it hard. I've been Mrs Beauchamp for all my professional career." Jacob nodded understanding what she was saying.
"Don't decide anything now, take some time to think sweet cheeks."
"Thank you." Connie kissed him and they drifted off to sleep.
