All My Life

Chapter 88

After congratulating Tom and Di, Don and Meryl said goodbye to everyone; spending some extra time with their children and helping Brad and Jane get settled back in the house. Henry told Don and Meryl that he had taken their luggage to their suite at the The Whalers Inn so they didn't have to worry about carrying it in, as he knew his parents were still recovering from Rebecca and Mann and all he wanted them to worry about taking into the suite were the babies. Don then suggested that Meryl nurse the babies and they put them in their pajamas so they would go down easier once they got to their suite as he arranged for bassinets to be in there for them. After getting the babies ready for bed, they quickly conked out in their baby carriers as soon as they strapped them in. After more hugs and kisses to Lily, Suzie, Henry, Louisa, Grace and Mamie they were off. The kids told them NOT to worry about them while they were on their honeymoon, which they knew fell on deaf ears when their parents said they would be talking soon and to call them if they needed anything. Soon, Don and Meryl were driving off in their car ready to start their wedding night.

"Here we are, Mrs. Gummer." Don said unlocking the door with the key Henry had given him. He was so glad that Henry came and dropped off their stuff and gave him the key so they didn't have to check in; and Meryl didn't have to worry about fans and paparazzi. He was also glad that he had the hotel staff set up the room like he wanted AFTER Henry had dropped everything off or else that might have been embarrassing for their son. "Our wedding night."

Meryl squealed as Don picked her up and carried her through the door. "You're going to hurt yourself if you keep doing that; and if you keep feeding me like you have been."

"Oh please, you are lighter than ever." Don said as he kicked the door closed with his foot while still holding his wife close. "And you better get used to this; I like carrying you."

Meryl tenderly kissed his lips as he sat her down and she gasped as she looked around, it was absolutely beautiful. The sitting room they were in was huge with a 2 sided fireplace-1 side in the sitting room and the other in the master bedroom. She could see rose petals leading from the door to the bedroom and candles lit all around. Meryl looked to the right and saw a small room with two bassinets set up and she could tell Henry already set up the video monitor. A large flat screen TV hung over the fireplace in the sitting room with large beautiful couches and chairs placed all around. She couldn't believe he did this, she didn't know why she was surprised because that was her husband through and through; but it still meant the world to her. "It's beautiful, Don Man."

"You're beautiful." Don whispered as he wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her neck. "This has been another perfect wedding for us; and I wanted our wedding night to be perfect especially since I kind of ruined the first one."

Meryl shook her head as she turned around in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You didn't ruin anything, baby. You had just been mugged. You were on pain pills and people, including me, kept giving you champagne. Besides, we both took naps so we were able to enjoy the rest of the evening; and boy did we ever enjoy ourselves."

"Thank you for marrying me." Don pulled his wife closer to his body. "Again."

Meryl closed her eyes as he trailed his lips down her neck. Meryl could feel herself melting at his touch. "Thank you for asking me."

"God, you're so beautiful." Don groaned as he cupped her ass in his hands and pulled her so tightly against him they could barely move. "And you taste amazing."

Meryl knew he had plans for the evening, just as she did. After all, he had begged her all week to model for him the new lingerie she bought. Little did he know, but she bought even more when she knew they would be going on a honeymoon and she had it delivered to their Mason's Island house with expedited shipping and it arrived that morning. She regretfully pushed back against his chest. "Baby, why don't you go get Mags and Brady settled while I go slip into something else?"
