Sam turned off the car and put on his sandals. Anna unloaded the trunk onto the beach. The sun crossed over Sam's eyes. He winced and then slammed the door shut. Anna smiled at him and then fell into the sand.

Sam leaped on top of her and then kissed her neck. She giggled and then held him close. "What do you think? We are alone right now," Anna said. He looked around wide eyed. "Yeah, you're right. I don't think the fish would appreciate it though," He replied.

Anna's hair lit up with the sun. "Why can't we relax even here? There are no bosses to ruin our fun or assignments to keep us away," She asked. He sighed and ran his fingers through her hair. "I guess I just want to appreciate this with nothing more in the way.

Her hands fell and she turned away. "What? What did I say?" He asked. The sun flickered in her eyes. They twinkled in the light yet she refused to look away. "I have to tell you something," She said.

Sam scratched his head and sand fell out. A brief smile lit up her face. She turned way. "Today is too nice. We should enjoy it while we can," He said. He turned and ran into the waves.

Anna got up and let the water wash over her feet. "This is serious," She said. "So is this," Sam replied. She got back to the car. He could hear the engine start.

He ran as fast as he could out of the water and past their tiny desert. "What are you doing!?" he shouted. The car engine stopped and she opened the door. "I don't know," she replied. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

He tried to hold her, but she pulled away. Anna dropped and buried her feet in the sand. She grabbed his hand and put it on her belly. "This... It isn't yours," Anna said. She hid her face in his hand.

Sam stood there in a daze. "Do you love him?" He asked. "No... It wasn't like that. It was wrong and... This miracle..." She said. He dropped to his knees and stared at the ground.

They sat there not moving for close to an hour. The sand started to turn cold. "Who am I to you?" He asked. "I didn't leave," Anna replied. "And?" He asked. "I love you," She replied.

He suddenly grabbed her face and stared into her eyes. She refused to look away from him. He kissed her hard and held her waist. "Then it's ours," He said. "Yes," she replied.
