Luka and Abby walked inside the airport. She had her arm around his as he pushed the cart who contained their bags. Josef brought them here and went to park the car.
It was hard to them to say bye to Nathan and Nathalie... Abby actually had tears in her eyes as she kissed them... the babies looked at them from Irena's arms... they actually smiled as they notice Luka and she...
Abby almost couldn't leave... but Luka lead her to the door...so, now they were there... almost catching their flight...
Away for a week... it made her happy because she was with her husband, but at the same time... it frightened her... it would be the first time they would be alone, without their babies or family around... and with everything that happened with Luka...
' Hey... ' she put his hand on hers, calling her. ' Abby ? '
She looked at him.
' Sorry... ' she said. ' What were you saying ?
' I said that after we did the check in, we will wait my father in that store... ' Luka said.
Abby nodded. They walked to the counter.
' Good Morning... ' said the woman behind the counter.
Luka smiled a little and showed her the tickets...
' Two tickets to New York ? ' the woman asked Luka. ' I need your documents... '
The picked their identities and gave them to the woman. As she was busy, checking the tickets, Abby leaned to Luka and asked, whispering:
' New York ? '
' Not quite... ' he said. ' After getting there, we will take a shuttle to where we are going... '
They looked at each other. The woman asked them to put their bags on the balance so she could finish their check in. She put the weight on the computer and let they have their tickets...
' So... ' Abby tried again.
' I'm not telling you, so I think you better stopping asking... you'll know when we get there... ' he said.
Abby pouted and stopped asking. Luka knew that she was mad, but this would make her stop for a while... he looked at her.
' I promise you won't be disapointed... ' he said, trying to make a damage control.
They met Josef on the store that Luka talked about. One look at Abby, made him looked crossed at his son.
' What happened ? ' Josef asked.
' Nothing... everything is fine... ' he said. ' Shall we ? '

On the plane, Abby was by the window, watching the view. Luka was on the corridor seat, having some trouble between the seat in front of him and his longs legs.
Abby looked at him when he cursed in Croatian.
' I'll never flight on the economic class again... ' he said.
' Well, if you weren't so... big... you could sit straight... ' she said.
He would have said anything, but she would be more angrier with him and he didn't wanted to fight, not there nor in any place. So he just let her have the final word.
' Still mad at me ? ' he asked instead.
' Mad ? I'm not mad... ' Abby said. ' I just... '
' Hate surprises... ' he finished.
Abby looked at him.
' I'm just frustraded... ' she said.
He picked her hand.
' Don't be... there's a good reason for me not letting you know where we are going... ' he said. ' You we'll just have to trust me on this... '
She sighed and rest her head on the seat... she trusted him, of course... he promised to come back, didn1t he ?
Luka leaned in and kissed her... Abby looked at him...
' I love you... ' he said.

After taking their bags, Luka and Abby exited the terminal. Luka looked for a man, holding a piece of paper with his name on it... after looking for a few seconds, the found the man...
' There... ' he said.
They went to meet the man.
' Mr. Luka Kovach ? ' the man asked.
Luka nodded.
' It's Kovac... but without the h in the end... ' he said, as he looked at the plate.
The man nodded.
' Sorry... ' the man said, picking up their bags. ' Follow me... '
They followed the man to a limo. Abby looked at her husband.
' Luka, you know how much it costs ? ' she asking when she stopped and picked his hand.
' I know... ' Luka said. ' Don't worry, it's being taken care of... '
Abby glared at him. The man, closed the trunk and opened the door for them.
Luka put a hand on the small of his wife back.
' Don't worry... ' he said again...

After the car left the airport, Abby turned to Luka. He knew she wanted some explanations...
' Remember when I helped your uncle when we were in Franklin ? ' he asked and she nodded. ' Well, when he paid me, I made a deal with him... he didn't need to give me a salary, just to help me pay for a trip on our anniversay... '
' Oh, Luka... ' she said, not believing he did this. ' You didn't need to do that... '
' I wanted to give you a proper honeymoon... ' he said.
Abby felt tears in her eyes. She leaned in and kissed him hard...
