"The sun and water are so beautiful here!" Pepper said, as she gazed out at the pristine blue waters of Indonesia. The sun beamed down on her skin, warming her to the core of her being. The sound of waves crashing against the shore were filling the air, and the salty scent of the ocean was so pungent that she could almost taste it!
They had arrived for their honeymoon destination two days ago and since then they'd all been getting over the jet lag while enjoying a little of what the beautiful paradise had to offer.
She smiled as her husband's arms were wrapped around her from behind.
"He's going to be up soon," James murmured into her ear, "Are you ready for Cyclone Morgan this morning?"
Pepper turned around in James' embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm glad you're feeling better this morning."
"Me too."
"So Cyclone Morgan?" she asked, her heart filling with warmth at the mention of their son's name.
James grinned. "Yeah, with me down for the count yesterday you know he's going to be keeping me busy this morning. You know how he is - always full of energy."
Pepper chuckled. "That's our little Morgan. I can't wait to spend the day with him."
Just then, a loud crash echoed from their private bungalow on the beach. James tensed, his War Machine instincts still kicking in even after all these years of retirement. "Stay here," he said, moving towards the door.
Pepper's heart raced with fear as she watched him go. "Be careful," she called after him, hoping that everything was okay. She stood there, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios, until James emerged from the bungalow with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Sorry about that," he said, holding up a broken vase. "Looks like Cyclone Morgan got into a bit of mischief while we were out."
Pepper breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that everything was okay. "It's okay," she said, smiling. "We'll just have to keep a closer eye on him from now on." Together, they both went back inside, and thankfully found Morgan where James left him, sitting on the couch.
James knelt down beside Morgan, who was now sitting on the couch. "Hey there, Cyclone. What are you up to?"
Morgan grinned up at James. "Playing with my ball," he said, holding it up for James to see.
James smiled. "Looks like fun. Did you have a good time with Mommy yesterday?"
Morgan nodded vigorously. "Uh-huh! We went swimming in the ocean and saw lots of fish."
"That sounds amazing," James said, ruffling Morgan's hair. "I wish I could have been there with you."
Morgan's face fell for a moment, but then he brightened up again. "But you're here now!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms around James' neck. "I'm so happy you're my daddy."
James' heart swelled with love for his son. "I'm happy too, buddy. And I promise we'll have lots of fun together while we're here."
Morgan beamed up at him. "Can we play catch on the beach later, Daddy?"
"Well, I can't think of a reason why we shouldn't, buddy! But what do you say we get the little mess you made cleaned up, and then have some breakfast Sound good?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, let's get cracking!"
