Fanfic: Chapter 9 
November 15th, 2011 
Rick stepped out of his limo after the driver opened the door, giving the drive a trip, he turned and helped Lisa out of he limo. Lisa Hunter slowly got to her feet being very careful on her hells not to trip on her wedding dress, her free hand rested on her bulging tummy where their 6 month old child laid  
inside the warmth and protection of its mother’s womb. 
Rick stood in amazement at Lisa’s beauty her white dress sparkled under the light of the full moon, the gentle breeze blowing her hair ever so slightly. Lisa found herself over whelmed with emotions flooding her every sense “I have dreamed of this day for so very long.” She though to herself, then suddenly feeling a chill she shivered and started rubbing her arms. Rick noticed and stepped in putting his tux jacket around her shoulders and standing behind her he rubbed her arms for her. 
 
 
“Are you cold?” Rick asked the tips of his lips sweeping across the side of her neck sending chills of an entirely different kind racing down her back. Lisa shook her head trying to fight back the sudden desire to slam him to the ground right there and let all the neighbors see just how raw her passion for Rick was.  
“Yeah, a strapless dress doesn’t provide for much warmth.” She replied looking over her shoulder and into his eyes. 
 
Lisa tried to look right into Rick’s soul, she could see his desire… there was a sparkle in his eyes and they moved back and forth ever so slightly, Lisa wanted more then anything to know what Rick was thinking looking back at her, but before she could ask, Rick pulled out the keys to their new house and opened the door. Lisa let out a sigh and went to walk through the door, but a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. 
“I do believe it is customary for the Groom to carry his bride across the threshold of their new house.” Rick said with a smirk. Lisa wanted to protest but she was quit flattered that he would think of such a small detail, one that she herself had not thought about.  
 
 
 
Before Lisa could react, Rick had swept her off her feet and staggered across the threshold and into the house, setting her down gently on the hard wood floor and making sure she had her full balance before her released his grasp around her waist. “Mr. Hayes, you could have thrown your back out with all my extra weight.” Lisa joked tapping her right foot on the floor. Rick raised an eyebrow and smirked. 
“Oh? Isn’t it the wife who drops her last name and picks up the grooms last name?” Rick said with a devilish grin on his face. “Mrs. Hunter.” He added. Lisa’s mouth dropped open, she was taken back her quick wit usually got the best of Rick and he was left speechless, but she refused to be beaten at her own game. “Not id the groom ever expects to get some.” Lisa said regaining her composure and raising her own brow this time in a challenge. 
 
 
 
Rick slid one of his hands from her waist up her back, and turning his fingers up entangled his hand in her hair on the back of her head, with a firm grip he would be able to control her head with ease. Moving in slowly keeping his eyes lock in Lisa’s until they physically were obstructed, Rick kissed the side of Lisa’s neck just behind her right ear. Licking a small circle he backed off and blow gently on the wet spot and suddenly with out warning sucked the bottom of her ear into his mouth. Lisa gasped and her knees gave out, Rick had to tighten his grip around her waist to keep her from falling. Rick breathed heavily on her ear and whispered “You were saying?” Lisa took this moment to calm herself she had been holding her breath and didn’t know it, her eyes had rolled up in the back of her head and the room was spinning.  
“You win, Lisa Hunter-Hayes.” Lisa said clearly out of breath. Lisa wrapped her arm around Rick’s neck and dove into his mouth with a passion filled kiss. Lisa’s head was still swimming, but stubborn till the end she refused to fall to the ground weak kneed with out taking Rick down with her. 
 
 
 
Lisa searched every inch of Rick’s mouth with her tongue in fact if she pressed any harder one of them was going to lose a tooth. Backing off slightly she closed her eyes and sucked Rick’s lower lip into her mouth, this ripped a groan out from the bottom of his throat, and Rick also closed his eyes. Feeling Rick shaking she bit harder until she could taste his warm metallic blood in her mouth. Rick’s body tightened and became very tense, Lisa opened her eyes slightly to see Ricks face. Rick’s eyes were wide open and full of fear… no pain she noticed tears welling up in the bottoms of his eyes. Everything around hem was dark all Lisa could see was Rick’s pain filled face, she put one hand on his cheek, but everything moved very slow as she saw her hand move it left a blurring trail behind I like a move scene that was poorly put into slow motion, she tried to call out to him but she could not hear her own voice, she screamed as loudly as she could causing her whole body to shake but no sound came out. Lisa started crying she was happening, she was paralyzed by her fear she fought to move but could not, and she could only stare helplessly at her husband’s eyes. 
 
 
 
Rick’s body slowly pulled away from Lisa’s, and then it thrust back into her into her with suck force their hip bones crashed together. Rick threw is head back and screamed in pain. This broke Lisa’s fear that rendered her helpless and the blackness around Rick started to fade. She noticed for the first time and black gloved hand on Ricks left shoulder, tracing the arm she noticed a black hooded man standing behind Rick. The man pulled a knife out of Rick’s lower back and thrust it back in causing Rick’s body to pull back and crash forward into her body once again, Lisa went to scream but another gloved hand reached around from behind her and covered her mouth with a rag. 
Pulling her back away from Rick, the second hooded man wrestled her down to the ground laying her on her stomach and leaned all his weight on a knee placed between her shoulder blades. Rick had fallen to his knees but the man still continued to stab him until Rick fell forward on his face into a puddle of his own blood. Then the room began to spin, a voice spoke from behind her… it was female, and it was a voice she was sure she had heard before. “You have yourself to blame for this you know.” The women pulled her hood back and black curly hair fell around her face, seeing Minmei kneeling over her, Lisa gasped in a lung full of the chemicals on the rag pressed over her nose and mouth… then she passed out. 
************************************************* 
 
 
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Lisa sat up in her bead screaming at the top of her lungs, her body was soaked with her own sweat. Lisa started gasping holding onto her throat, she could not breath… she was hyper ventilating. Suddenly the door swung open crashing against the wall and the trio rushed into the room surrounding Lisa.  
“Lisa… Lisa…” Kim cried out, “Can you hear us?” Vanessa asked. Sammy ran her hand across her forehead whipping the sweat drenched hair out of Lisa’s eyes. Lastly Claudia raced into the bedroom baseball bat clutched in hand. “What the hell is going on? Did Hunter try to sneak in here?” she asked scanning the room and opening the closet door, once she was sure the room was safe she turned to Lisa who had grabbed Vanessa by the color of her bath robe and was mumbling something about no one could make out in Lisa’s lack of breath. 
 
“Rick…men … hooded… Rick… alright…” Lisa’s head started to pound and tried harder to find out about Rick but it was no use she still couldn’t speak. “Is she ok?” Kim asked Claudia worried about her friend. Lisa suddenly pushed Vanessa back and reached to the side of the bed pulling up the empty tin trash can and started puking her guts outs. 
 
 
 
Ring… Ring… Ring… Roy’s hand smashed down on the alarm clock several time before knocking the phone off the table and onto the floor, knocking the head set off of the receiver it picked up and Claudia’s voice could be herd. “Hello, Roy are you there? HELLO!!” Roy picked up the head set rubbing his eyes “Babe it’s 3 a.m. what gives.” “What? Of course he is alright… fine I will go check.”  
Roy walked down the hall of his baric, well more or less slid down the hall to sleepy to pick his feet off the ground stopping in front of Rick’s door her knocked. 
 
 
“GONE!!!!!!” Claudia yelled before she could regain her composure, and a crash from Lisa’s bedroom let her know Lisa was racing down the hall towards her. Lisa came to a sliding stop… or rather crash as her socks slid on the hard wood floor in the living room and hitting the side of the couch at her knees sent her crashing head over feet. Lisa landed on the couch with so much force that the cushions rebounded and tossed her off onto the hard floor face first. With a loud thud Lisa was laid out across the floor moaning in pain, Claudia jumped to her feet dropping the phone as she put both hands over her mouth. “LISA! Are you alright?” she asked kneeling down to check on her. 
The trio rushed out of their respective room when they herd Lisa crash to the floor. “What happened?” all three of them asked in unison. Lisa rolled onto her left side cupping her hand over her nose. “I’m bleeding.” Lisa said as tears started to roll down her instantly swollen and blackening eyes.  
 
 
“Hello, what the hell is going on over there?” Roy yelled into the receiver of the phone. “Lisa just took a bad fall onto the floor, she bruised her hip and I think she broke her nose.” Claudia’s voice answered across the phone, suddenly the back door slid open and Rick walked into the house from the back porch. Roy glared at Rick wondering how one kid could cause so much trouble all the time. “Is Lisa ok?” Roy asked, this caught Rick’s attention and his eyes grew wide with concern. “Just a little banged up, but she will be fine, I think her ego will take the biggest blow tomorrow.” Claudia said then hanging up the phone. 
Roy hung up the phone then turned back to Rick. “Where the hell have you been?” Roy shouted “I…” Rick started but Roy quickly cut him off. “Lisa had been freaking out scared half to death.” Roy continued waving both his hands in the air showing just how mad he was for being woken up in the middle of the night. “I couldn’t …” Rick was cut off again, Roy was pacing back and forth now both fists clinched tightly. “She has a really bad limp and two black eyes now thanks to you.” Roy had to take a couple deep breaths to calm him self before he gave Rick matching pair black eyes. “What the hell is your problem? Answer the dam questions.” Roy said in a less shouting voice, but you could still hear the undertone of anger in his voice. 
 
 
Lisa was lying in her bed once again holding an ice pack over the bridge of her nose and under lay of both her eyes. “Great now I have two black eyes for my wedding tomorrow, I am going to kill that Hunter…” Lisa paused, her words bringing back sudden flashes if her dream… the image of Rick lying in a puddle of his own blood would be forever burned into her head. Lisa couldn’t hold back the tears any longer, her emotions had gotten the best of her and now that she was six months pregnant her emotions were like a rollercoaster ride with no one at the controls. 
Claudia turned to the trio and shooed them out of the Room closing the door behind her, than walking over to the side of the bed, she pulled up a chair for the desk in the room as sat down next to Lisa running her hand through Lisa’s hair trying to confer her and calm her down. “Shhh… everything is alright.” Claudia said hugging her friend Lisa wiped her tears from her face with a tissue, wincing in pain as she tried to blow her nose. 
“Why don’t you tell me what has you all worked up?” Claudia said in a soft gentle voice releasing Lisa from her hug so she could make eye contact. Lisa looked up at her friend and felt a slight bit of warmth inside, despite her father’s reputation and all the male solders hating to take orders from women and on top of that having a ruff my way or the highway attitude, Lisa knew she had a few close friends that she could trust with everything. “I had a dream…” Lisa stared then paused as parts of the dream flashed through her head. 
 
 
Roy finally calmed himself down enough to sit on the couch across from where Rick was standing leaning against the wall still lost about what was gong on. “Are you calm enough yet?” Rick asked eyeing his big brother; Roy just folded his arms across his chest. Rick took a deep breath and started “I… I couldn’t sleep Roy, so I went out on the back porch for some fresh air to try and clear my head. 
“Your getting married tomorrow stupid, you need your sleep.” Roy said adjusting in his seat. Rick stood straight up eyes wide again suddenly remembering what Roy had said when he first walked into the room. “Lisa, what happened? Is she ok?” Rick asked with a hint of hastens in his voice. Roy grinned, thinking about what Rick would be in for tomorrow “She fell and is banged up, but don’t change the subject.” Roy answered showing a less tenseness in his body posture. “Roy… am I… worth?” Rick asked as he leaned against the wall, sliding his hands into his pant pockets and hanging his head low in a defeated gesture. Roy raised an eye brow “What I mean is… Lisa is so strong, and she fallows all the rules exactly… well…” Rick took a deep breath and let out a sigh before continuing “I am just a screw up, I have been shot down 13 times, she is always yelling at me over the tac net…” Rick let his words trail off into silence never looking up at Roy while he was speaking. “Rick, you are a free spirited kid, Lisa needs that trust me if she married someone like herself one of their funeral receptions would be the fallowing week.” Roy replied with a little chuckle. Rick didn’t find Roy’s words to be amusing, or comforting. “Lisa always knows what to do, she is always so sure of herself in fact I don’t think she has ever second guessed a single decision she has made in her life.” Rick said now leaning his head back against the wall looking at the ceiling fan. 
 
 
“I am ruining his life.” Lisa cried into her pillow. Claudia just rubber her back allowing Lisa to cry out all of her emotions and release all the stress she was under. “That’s not true Lisa, I see him around you, and there is a twinkle in his eyes that only appears when he is looking at you.” Claudia said. “But he loves Minmei; he is only marring me because he has no choice.” Lisa’s heart was beating so very fast it felt like it was going to jump right out of her chest, Lisa felt like her world was crashing down on her. One hand she was going to be married to Rick in nine hours, but if he truly was in love with Minmei still everyday of their marriage would kill a little piece inside of Rick, on the other hand if she called the whole thing off she would lose him forever and having the baby she would have to see Rick… her baby would have it’s father in it’s life and if that meant seeing Rick with Minmei then a piece of her would die each day they were away. “It was only a dream Lisa, Rick has gown up so very much over the past six months, and I know he really loves you.” Claudia said, but there was no answer, Lisa had cried herself to sleep so Claudia quietly turned the light off and closed the door behind her. 
 
 
Ronnie walked out of the hospital’s front doors and headed to his taxi, Ronnie was headed to meet with some big wigs from the United Nations to show he had recovered fully and could be placed back on active duties. Once in the conference room Ronnie handed Maistroff his paper work from Dr. Enslow and stood at attention, Ronnie was happy to be back in his military uniform, and couldn’t wait to get into his flight suit and back into the air.  
“Dr. Enslow sates you have recovered fully in just six months, congratulations.” Maistroff said flipping threw the paper work too quickly to be reading any of it. “I see you passed all the physical requirements of a pilot as well, but I noticed a limp as you were running.” Ronnie’s body stiffened he didn’t like the sound of that. “Sir.” Ronnie replied. “I am sorry solder but only the top 1% get to fly in our armed forces.” Maistroff continued with the slightest grin forming in the corners of his mouth. “But we will not forget you great service to the SDF-1, so you are to be honorably discharged from the service, and paid a full disability pension for you and any future family you may have.” Ronnie felt like the wind had just been knocked out of him. “Sir, with all due respect, I would rather continue serving, I will keep in top shape and be the best of that 1%.” Ronnie was at a lost he didn’t know what to say or do… his whole life was being ripped from his grip. 
“That just isn’t possible, now turn in your wings, this is your final order.” Maistroff said, folding his arms across his chest. Ronnie slowly unclipped his pilot’s wings from the breast of his uniform and placed them on the table in front of Maistroff, then saluting; Ronnie turned on his heels and marched out the door.  
 
 
 
Most of the wedding was blur to Rick and Lisa, the day just flew by, thought there were bumps in the road like no matter how much makeup Lisa put on the black rings around her eyes and across her nose kept showing through, and her hip was so badly bruised that she couldn’t walk with out a heavy limp. But much to Lisa’s relief the baby was not harmed in any way. Rick showed up and as soon as he saw Lisa in her elegant strapless wedding dress walking down the isle toward him he knew he was making the right choice… and at that moment she Gloval gave Lisa away to be married to Rick, Rick vowed to be that man she disserved and to become worthy of her companionship for the rest of their life together. Roy was on the dance floor with Claudia dancing very close together even though the music was an up beat let your hair down kind of song, but they didn’t care, Max and Miriya were sitting in the corner enjoying their cake and watching baby Dana play with the frosting on her hands. Rick walked up behind Lisa who was trying to let the day sink in, and kissed her on the back of the neck. “You look beat, why don’t I get you home?” Rick said wrapping his arms around his new bride. Lisa just smiled and leaned back sinking into the strong support of Rick’s arms around her. Lisa leaned her head back and kissed the tip of his nose nodding a yes, and they both headed back into the main part of the room to say their goodbyes to everyone. 
Rick stepped out of his limo after the driver opened the door, giving the drive a trip, he turned and helped Lisa out of he limo. Lisa Hunter slowly got to her feet being very careful on her hells not to trip on her wedding dress, her free hand rested on her bulging tummy where their 6 month old child laid inside the warmth and protection of its mother’s womb. 
 
 
Rick stood in amazement at Lisa’s beauty her white dress sparkled under the light of the full moon, the gentle breeze blowing her hair ever so slightly. Lisa found herself over whelmed with emotions flooding her every sense “I have dreamed of this day for so very long.” She though to herself, then suddenly feeling a chill she shivered and started rubbing her arms. Rick noticed and stepped in putting his tux jacket around her shoulders and standing behind her he rubbed her arms for her. 
“Are you cold?” Rick asked the tips of his lips sweeping across the side of her neck sending chills of an entirely different kind racing down her back.

“I do believe it is customary for the Groom to carry his bride across the threshold of their new house.” Rick said with a smirk. Lisa wanted to protest but she was quit flattered that he would think of such a small detail, one that she herself had not thought about.  
 
 
Before Lisa could react, Rick had swept her off her feet and staggered across the threshold and into the house, setting her down gently on the hard wood floor and making sure she had her full balance before her released his grasp around her waist. “Mr. Hayes, you could have thrown your back out with all my extra weight.” Lisa joked tapping her right foot on the floor. Rick raised an eyebrow and smirked. 
“Oh? Isn’t it the wife who drops her last name and picks up the grooms last name?” Rick said with a devilish grin on his face. “Mrs. Hunter.” He added. Lisa’s mouth dropped open, she was taken back her quick wit usually got the best of Rick and he was left speechless, but she refused to be beaten at her own game. “Not id the groom ever expects to get some.” Lisa said regaining her composure and raising her own brow this time in a challenge.

Feeling Rick shaking she bit harder until she could taste his warm metallic blood in her mouth. Rick’s body tightened and became very tense. Lisa froze holding her breath. “No this is just like the dream…” But when she opened her eyes, she saw Rick’s were still closed, she could move this time, and there was no hand on Rick’s shoulder, his tension was merely drawing her in more deeply so she couldn’t get away from him. Rick pulled back feeling her hesitation. “Is everything ok?” Rick asked searching Lisa’s face for some kind of an answer. Lisa turned her head quickly searching the room but finding it empty, no one was in there but them. Reaching around Rick she locked the door behind them. 
 
 
“Shall we take this to the bedroom?” She asked raising an eyebrow. Rick pulled his head back slightly caught off guard but her question. “Your six months pregnant I thought the Dr. said you couldn’t have sex with out hurting the baby.” Rick asked, Lisa just grinned stepping back from her husband un zipping the back of her dress.  
“Sex no… but there are plenty of other things I can… DO to you to make your wedding nigh VERY memorable.” Lisa said putting her hands in the air so her dress would fall to the floor leaving her in her bridal corset, matching thong, and thigh high stalking, Rick wasted no time racing her to the bedroom, and by the time Lisa walked in, he was already on the bed in just a pair of boxers, pieces of his tux were flung everywhere in the room, Lisa just smiled and closed the door behind her.
