Cyrus and Jonah have been preparing the wedding for months now and tomorrow was the big day for them. Cyrus was full of so many emotions and couldn't believe how far they had come from being complete strangers and hating each other to now being completely in love with each other.

The wedding was taking place in the tropical paradise of The Maldives thanks to Jonah and his family. They were staying in separate villas along the jetty so that they wouldn't see each other before the big day. The honeymoon was also going to take place there after everyone left so they would have some alone time. Cyrus was just sat on the edge of the pool with Harvey, just dangling their legs in the water.

"Are you scared daddy?" Harvey asked tilting his head to the side a bit

"Are you scared daddy?" Harvey asked tilting his head to the side a bit.

"Of course I'm gonna be a little scared, but it's okay. I love dada." He smiled back at the boy. Harvey just smiled back and leaned into his dad for comfort as they watched the moonlight refract in the water ripples.

"Pretty isn't it?" Cyrus said.

"Yes." He replied.

"Who was Natalie?" He asked after a few moments. Cyrus was caught off guard with that question. He started thinking about Jonah, he hadn't mentioned her in about a year and didn't say anything about Amber either.

"She uh- She was your mom." Cyrus smiled sadly.

"She gave birth to you." He continued.

"I thought you gave birth to me." Harvey looked confused. Cyrus didn't know if he was playing or not so he just laughed.

"No silly, I can't give birth." He chuckled.

"Where is she now?" He asked looking up at Cyrus. He was at the age of constantly questioning everything around him so Cyrus knew he had to tell him.

"She died Harv." He sighed.

"Why?" He asked.

"She got very sick unfortunately." Cyrus lied. He wouldn't be able to tell the truth to him for a while yet. It would probably break him if he even understood it.

"I wish I could meet her." He smiled.

"Yeah I know, we all miss her greatly." He replied. It was silent after that for a while as father and son watched the stars twinkle above.

"Well Harv, it's time for you to go to bed. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow." He grinned.

"I'm not tired though." Harvey complained.

"It doesn't matter if you're not tired, you'll need the energy!"

"Okay then." He yawned ironically and Cyrus picked him up to take him to bed. The bed was near the back door to the pool. Just above was a roof that could be removed with a button to watch the stars above at night.
