She awoke first to see her husband snoring lightly with very rumpled hair and his arm around her waist. She gently slipped out from under his arm so she could go to the bathroom. When she came back out, he was still sleeping so she decided to order breakfast for them. It was after 10, so breakfast was still being served. She ordered an assortment of some of their favorites as well as juice, tea and coffee. She slipped on her silk robe while she waited and looked out the balcony doors. She sighed in contentment as she rubbed her stomach and talked to their baby about how happy she was. The baby kicked some as she talked and rubbed. She was six months pregnant and looked wonderful. She definitely had the glow that they say pregnant women get. She hoped that it lasted and didn't look like a beached whale right before she gave birth.

She heard the knock on the door and rushed to it, making sure that the bedroom door was still closed to not disturb Tommy. The immaculately dressed bellhop rolled the silver cart into the dining room area. He set the covered dishes on the table and poured two glasses of juice and set the carafe on the table too. He bowed slightly and showed himself out as she thanked him. She took a sip of the fresh orange juice and looked at the paper that was brought up with the meal. She looked as saw a little picture of them in the corner of the front page and giggled. She turned to the entertainment page and there was the two pictures they sent and the statement they released. The writer mentioned how many women would be crying tonight as they walked the red carpet as he was totally off the market. The story of their baby came out a few weeks before hand as they were at the mall and a photographer caught them in the baby store.

She quietly went in the bedroom and saw that her husband was lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling, smiling.

"Good Morning, my love."

"Mrs. Holtz! I was just remembering yesterday and last night and how much I love you."

"Well, Mr. Holtz, it appears that we made the morning paper if you would care to read it over breakfast. I ordered up our favorites..."

He sat up and jumped out of bed and pulled on some boxers, took her hand and walked out to the dining area. They sat down and took the lids off and filled their plates. They joked and laughed, remembering the events from their wedding. She showed him the paper as they finishing eating.

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about them finding out and ruining the day! They can be such beasts! We did it our own way and that was what we wanted."

He kissed her and told her how happy he was and told her he had a surprise for her to help her relax for tonight. At one, they were having a couples massage down in the spa. She was thrilled and thanked him by taking him back in the bedroom.

After a while, they dressed in casual clothes and headed down to the spa. They arrived and were shown the couples massage room and Ali reminded them that she would need a pre-natal table and the masseuse said that it was already set up and ready to go. She let them get undressed and on the tables, covered. She knocked and came back in with her partner. They lit some candles and started some quiet music as they began. The newlyweds enjoyed the relaxation time and the masseuses noticed how sweet it was that they held hands from the tables as long as they could.

When their time was up, Ali was all but asleep. They recommended that they take a bath to finish relaxing and then take a nap. Ali was all for it as they left and Tommy helped her get dressed. They went back up to their suite and took a bath together in the giant tub for the next hour. Tommy helped her out and dried off, snuggling her in the thick robes in the closet. She barely made it to the bed before she crawled in and instantly was asleep. He smiled as he looked as his amazing, pregnant wife already breathing deeply and lay beside her, pulling her close. He closed his eyes, breathing in her scent and drifted off too.
