The following morning, Jey and Natalia woke to the sound of the ocean gently lapping at the shore, the sun rising over the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water. After their thrilling adventure the day before and the peaceful evening that had followed, it felt like the perfect time to slow down and just enjoy each other's company.

Jey stretched, his body still feeling the effects of the ziplining and spa experience from the day before. He looked over at Natalia, who was still lying in bed, her eyes closed as she soaked in the peaceful moment. He smiled softly, his heart full of warmth.

"You awake, Nati?" he asked, his voice low.

She opened one eye and looked at him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "I am now. What's up?"

Jey rolled over and propped himself up on his elbow, his eyes never leaving her face. "I was thinking we should spend the day just... being together. No activities, no distractions. Just us."

Natalia let out a soft laugh and nodded. "I love that idea. We've done so much already, and it's been amazing. But I think today should be about us, just enjoying this moment."

They both sat up, taking in the breathtaking view of the turquoise waters and the surrounding islands. The villa they were staying in was secluded, just the right amount of privacy and luxury for a perfect honeymoon. Jey felt grateful for every moment they had here, for this chapter of their lives, and for how much he had grown alongside Natalia.

After a leisurely breakfast on the terrace, the couple decided to take a walk along the beach. The warm sand beneath their feet, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and the cool breeze tousling their hair made it feel like they were in their own world-untouched by anything else.

As they walked hand-in-hand, they talked about everything and nothing. They spoke about their future together, the life they would build with Malachi, and all the little things they wanted to experience in the years to come. Jey couldn't help but feel a sense of peace. He had found the woman he wanted to spend his life with, and nothing else mattered.

"I'm so glad I found you, Nati," Jey said, stopping to pull her into a tight hug. "You and Malachi mean everything to me."

Natalia smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "I feel the same way, Jey. I never imagined that I'd find someone like you. You're everything I've been waiting for."

They stood there for a moment, just holding each other, taking in the sound of the ocean and the warmth of the sun on their skin. It was a perfect moment-a peaceful pause before the next chapter of their lives unfolded.

After a while, they made their way back to the villa. The rest of the day was spent in quiet contentment. They relaxed by the pool, ordered lunch from the resort, and spent hours talking about their future-both the dreams they had and the practical things they needed to consider now that they were married.

As the sun began to set, they sat on the edge of the pool, their feet dipping in the water, the sky painted in hues of pink, orange, and purple. The serenity of the moment was a stark contrast to the whirlwind of the past few months-wedding planning, family dynamics, the drama surrounding the paternity test results. But in this moment, there were no distractions, no uncertainties. It was just Jey, Natalia, and the future that awaited them.

"Nati, I've been thinking," Jey said, breaking the silence. "When we get back, we need to start looking for a place together. A real home for us and Malachi."

Natalia turned to him, her eyes bright with excitement. "You're right. A place where we can build our life. A home for all of us."

Jey smiled, pulling her close. "I want to give you and Malachi the world, Nati. Everything. We're just getting started."

The words settled between them like a promise. The journey they had begun was far from over, but in that moment, they both knew they were ready for whatever came next. Together.

The night ended with a quiet dinner under the stars, the soft sound of music playing in the background. Jey and Natalia shared a slow dance by the poolside, the world around them fading away until it was just the two of them-living in the moment, basking in the joy of their love.

It was the perfect end to the perfect honeymoon. The next chapter of their lives awaited, but for tonight, they were content-exactly where they needed to be.
