"Heaven on Earth"

It was their first morning after getting married. He woke up and couldn't believe his luck, he caressed her face while looking at her still asleep.

She opened her long lashes and looked at him with sleepy and eyes full of love...she looked so delighted and in peace. Her cheeks were slightly reddened and she moved her head against their pillow and he moved his hand to caress her curly hair. He laughed when she purred as if she was a cat under his hand.

God, he loves her so much.

'Have I ever told you what I thought of you the first time I saw you?', he whispered at her while caressing her belly. He smiled at the thought of her carrying their child, and he worried he was gonna cry again. Tears of joy, hope and love.

She hummed 'no' in response to his question. He moved so he could lay on top of her without hurting her, he caressed her cheek, smiling when she bit her lips.

'I thought you were an angel with emerald eyes and a pure soul...' he said to her, 'And I got scared, so scared sweetheart... because I knew then, after working with you in that first case, I knew... that if I ever got the chance to.. to achive redemption, it would be because of you and for you'.

He saw her eyes glimmering with unshed tears, she turned her face so she could kiss his hand. He moved so he could lay next to her, and he sighed looking at her beauty.

'You're a goddess, Tessa', he whispered while touching her lips with his finger,

'Is this a dream, love?, she whispered back and she leant to kiss him.

He got lost in their kiss. The feeling of having her in his arms, his wife, Teresa Lisbon Jane. He got to declare his love for her to the whole word, after so many years loving her in secret.

And their child. He trembled thinking of their future mornings, he envisioned her holding their child in her arms. A boy? A girl? Who knows?

He knew for sure.. it was a blessing.

'Reese', he whispered to her and smiled when she closed her eyes,' if this is a dream, don't wake me up. I beg you'

She leand to him once more and turned him on his back. She straddled him, his beautiful, sexy and playful Lisbon.

'Husband', she said it like it was her favorite word and he closed his eyes smiling at the sound of it, ' if ever two were one, surely we'

'How did I get so lucky to meet an angel like you in this lifetime?... My angel?, he said to her with as much devotion as he could.

He moved to kiss her once more, hoping it would be followed by an infinite number of kisses during their lives until eternity decided it's time to take hold of their souls.

And even then, he knew... nothing could ever break them apart, not life, not death

Their love was, indeed, greater than existence itself.
