Once their breathing became normal, Anna smiled at her fiance'. "What?" Gabriel asked amused.

"Nothing." *He's so handsome.* She thought and giggled.

"Oh really?" He replied raising an eyebrow.

"Oh no. What's on your mind?"

"Nothing. Just want to know what you're thinking. Or else..."

"Or else what?"

Gabriel smirked. "Or else I'll tickle you." He said putting his hands up.

"Ok! Ok. I was just thinking how lucky I am to have a man like you."

"Really?" He asked smiling.

Anna kisses him softly then pulls away. "Really. By the way, I can't wait until the wedding or have a family."

"Speaking of having a family, how many kids do you want?"

"I uh... I don't know. How about you? How many do YOU want?"

"Me? Well, I don't care as long as you get what YOU want."

"Well, hmmm." *I think I want... six. Yeah.* "I want six children."

"Six? Are you sure, Darling?"

"I'm sure." She said smiling brightly.

"Are you two coming down for dinner?!" Carl yelled walking in.

The couple gasps. "CARL!" They said in unison as Gabriel covered them up with a blanket.

Carl looked at them and blushed turning away. "I'm SORRY! I didn't realize..."

"Knock next time will you?!" Gabriel yelled angrily.

"I'm SORRY! It was an accident. I mean who in the world has SEX in the freaking library of the house?!"

"GET OUT!" Anna screamed.

"Right. I'll see you two at dinner." He said and scampered off.

Anna sighed in frustration once he was out the door. "I swear if he walks in on us like that again, I'll freaking knock him into next year!"

"Anna Darling, I think you're overreacting just a little bit."

"Overreacting?! I think I'm being perfectly sensible. I mean really, he could have seen me NAKED! BARE NAKED!"

"My Darling Anna, it's alright. He didn't see you. I won't ever let him see you like that. Only I get to see you like that. And the children if they accidentally stumble upon you in the bathroom or in our room changing."

Anna sighed defeated. "Alright. I guess you're right. I'm sorry, Gabriel."

Gabriel kissed her temple. "It's ok, Anna. Come on. Lets get dressed and go down for dinner."

Anna nodded and got up getting dressed.

After dinner, everyone said their good nights and Gabriel walked Anna to bed. Anna stripped and put on her nightgown. Gabriel changed to just a pair of pajama pants. Anna was about to climb into bed when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind. "Gabriel, when do you want to get married?"

"As soon as possible. Why?"

"Three weeks sounds good to me."

"Alright. When do you want to announce it?"

"Tomorrow afternoon. Say one 'o' clock?"

"Ok. Sounds good, Hunny." He said kissing the top of her head.

Anna turned around and whispered in his ear. "The sooner I'm your wife, the better. I want to be Anna Marie Valerious Van Helsing."

"I love you so much, Anna." He whispered back.

"As I love you, Gabriel Van Helsing." She replied in her still whispered tone and kissed him softly.

Gabriel picked her up and got into bed laying her on top of him. Anna sighed contentedly and smiled. Gabriel smiled back and kissed her temple. "Good nite, My Anna."

"Good nite, My Gabriel." She whispered and fell asleep.
