The next morning, Kotetsu was the first one up and ready, having slept so much on the plane, the jet-lag hadn't had much an effect on her. She got herself dressed for the beach in sandals and a light blue sundress over her bathing suit. She put up her hair in a tail, and she completed her outfit with sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat. Once she had finished, she crawled atop her husband and sat on his hips, sliding her hands up along his sides.

"Morning sleeping beauty~"

Barnaby moaned and tried to roll over, then woke up after finding he couldn't move. His eyes opened slowly to look up at Kotetsu. "...Morning. What time is it?"

"Almost eleven." Kotetsu smiled, leaning over to kiss his cheek before getting off him, "I'm feeling better and am ready to start honeymoon beach cuddles with my Bunny."

He yawned and sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Let me get cleaned up first."

"Yup!" She smiled and moved to make sure they had their beach things ready. Towels, sun lotion, her inflatable inner tube for if they decided to go into the water at some point to cool off...

Barnaby climbed out of bed slowly and stumbled his way to the bathroom. The toilet flushed a few minutes later, and the blond came out yawning. "Did you eat anything yet, Kotetsu?"

"Nope, we'll have to get something on our way down to the beach."

"Eat something before that. I don't want you to starve." He moved to put his swim trunks on, then pulled on a shirt.

"I can wait. Besides, room service will take just as long, and we'd only be delayed longer in getting down to the beach."

"Okay, okay. Wait for me to finish getting ready." He rubbed his eyes and put his glasses on, then went back to the bathroom to fix his hair.

Kotetsu smiled, sitting on the foot of the bed as she waited, rubbing her belly.

"How's the baby this morning," Barnaby asked from the bathroom. "Any big kicks?"

"Nope, I think she's sleeping." Kotetsu shrugged.

"She?" He poked his head out of the bathroom with an eyebrow raised.

Kotetsu shrugged, "She feels like a girl today. A few days ago I called her a him when talking to Kaede."

"How does the baby feel like a girl today?" He went back to fixing his hair in the bathroom.

"I don't know, she just—does." She shrugged.

"Well since we're on the topic of genders, what do you think the baby will be, since you seem to be more in tune with the baby than me." He chuckled as he fixed a curl.

"Today I'd say girl, tomorrow I might say boy... It keeps changing."

"I'm going to say girl... or boy. Hell I don't know. I'm just excited." Barnaby came out of the bathroom looking refreshed and ready for the beach.

"Well, that's no help." Kotetsu laughed, standing up and grabbing the beach bag and the key to their room, slipping it into a safe pocket before nodding, "Okay, if you have your wallet, let's go."

He grabbed his wallet and came up behind her to kiss her neck. "I'm ready now. Let's go soak up some sun." He also grabbed a bottle of sunscreen before the left the hotel.

They stopped on their way to get food, and Kotetsu started eating it on their way to the beach, finishing her first helping before they found a spot to claim. She sighed; spreading out the blanket they were using to lie on, and then climbing onto it, stretching out before sitting up. "Come on; let's get lotion on you before you are as red as your hero suit. I'll do your back."
