"Lake Winnipesaukee," Larry struggled with the word. "It's in New Hampshire," he smirked at Ally who was still looking at him funny.

"Oh get that look off your face! You can't even pronounce it!" she was in a huff, which made Larry smile even bigger.

"You're so cute," he said matter-of-factly as he pecked her on her cheek.

Ally couldn't help but smile. Larry always brought a smile to her face. She couldn't resist anymore, but she decided to argue with him a little bit. He was always so cute when he didn't get his way right away, which he was used to getting. "But what about work Larry, I can't just pick up and leave. Richard will have a cow, 'What? No money coming in from you this week?' he'll say."

"Um, already taken care of. We leave Saturday morning," Larry grinned. He knew Ally all too well. "Oh, and um, we'll be gone for three," he held up his fingers.

Ally counted the days on her fingers, it was Thursday. "Um, Larry, wha, wha, how," she stopped and looked at Larry's smirk, smacked his fingers down which made him smile even more and bowed her head defeated.

"You're so cute," Larry repeated as he headed for the bathroom. Sharing a home had become very convenient for the two of them, but they hadn't gotten much alone time, quality time if you will, alone together. Larry decided to make plans for a getaway to bring them closer together. He had put a great deal of time and planning into it. He wanted it to be perfect; perfect vacation for the perfect girl. And Ally, well she was definitely the perfect girl, she was, is, and always will be it for him. He had never found anyone like her in the world and knew it would be impossible to ever find another person even remotely close to being like her. He was, content.

Ally, was, the same. She was very much in love with Larry despite their rocky past. For the past year they had been together, he had dismissed her 'neurotic behavior' as something they would have to work on, stayed with her instead of being with his son, cheated on her with the mother of his child, left her to be with his son, come back to be with her 'forever', made a 'Larry sundae' due to an unfortunate incident with whipped cream, and then, loved, all over again. Sure the bulk of it seemed bad, but if what she was feeling was bad, then she didn't want to be right. She loved Larry Paul more than anyone else in the world and wouldn't give him up for anything else in the world, even Billy Thomas coming back to her from the dead. Nope, she had it all, and its' name was Larry Paul.

Ally immediately began thinking of ways to torture Larry for being so conniving, but when he came out of the bathroom in just his boxers ready for bed, she knew that it could wait. They had three weeks together…three long weeks…

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Larry sucked in his stomach. "Do you want me to do my Jackson impersonation again?" Larry started strutting around and Ally threw a pillow at him.

"Stop it Larry!" she squealed. He stopped and looked at her. She knew what was coming. He gave that evil grin, she squealed and he jumped into bed on top of her growling and tickling her like crazy, Ally was all over the place trying to escape his grasp.

When Larry finally let up, he was on top of her and he brushed the hair from her eyes and looked at her smiling face. "You are so beautiful," he whispered as he leaned in to kiss her.

Ally wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned softly. Their tongues began to explore as the kiss became more passionate. Larry started kissing her gently down her face towards her stomach. He stopped and looked up at Ally who was smiling blissfully. He slowly undid the buttons of her satin top and proceeded to kiss her soft skin. Ally lifted her head back and moaned as Larry's kisses found her breasts. He was always so gentle and that was what she liked about him; always out to please her. That was a first because most men were just out to please themselves. She had never truly been satisfied until Larry.

His lips found hers again and they kissed with even more intensity. As Larry's mouth found its way to Ally's neck, Ally's tongue found its way to Larry's ear and began to explore every crevice and now it was Larry's turn to moan. Ally flipped him over on his back and began to kiss him feverishly. She slowly made her way down Larry's chest looking up at him who had his head back against the pillow like hers had been moments ago, and he was moaning in pleasure. She slowly made her way down further and pulled off his boxers. Ally then made her way back up to Larry and kissed him deeply. Larry flipped back over so he was on top and they continued kissing, he removed her pajama pants and then stopped, savoring the moment before they began making love, looking at his angel, wondering how he got so lucky.

"Next up, Caruso vs.…oh wait a minute, damn. I wanted you to take this Ally, but since you'll be," Richard cleared his throat, insinuating Ally's trip, "leaving for three weeks!"

Ally just smiled and looked at Richard, "It breaks my heart to know I won't be filling your pocket with money Richard," Ally smirked and looked back down at her paperwork.

"Very funny Ally. John, you take it! Moving on!"

"Why is it that she always gets to take vacations?" Ling complained.

"Well Ling, when was the last time you asked to go somewhere?" John retorted back sarcastically.

"Was I talking to the funny little man?" Ling looked at Richard while pointing at John.

"Ling, don't waste your time," Nelle chimed in.

"Oh nobody asked the ice princess for her two cents!" John retorted back. This caused Ally to look up at him. He had been a little off lately and she was curious why. She made a mental note to talk to him later. Nelle on the other hand rolled her eyes and looked back at Richard.

Why is it that when I'm finally happy, everyone else is in hell? Ally wondered.

"What's the place called again?" Renee teased Ally who was packing up her things later that night.

"Um, Lake Winni-" Ally struggled, looked at Renee and saw the smirk on her face. "Very FUNNY!" Ally threw a pillow at her and she caught it.

"Eh, you know I can't help it!"

"Lake Winnipesaukee," Larry was at the door with a smile on his face as he threw his suit jacket on the table by the door.

"Very FUNNY!" Ally and Renee chimed in unison.

Larry was thrown back briefly and then left the room to go to the kitchen. Ally followed him and found him, head inside the refrigerator searching for something to eat. She came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back. "Hey you," she said.

He stood up more straight grabbed her hands and squeezed them. "Hey," he whipped around, still holding her hands. "Are you really," he stopped, searching her eyes, for what, well, he was unsure. Ally looked at him, confused. "Are you really, happy that we're going away?" He eased his head back, semi waiting for her to bite it off.

"Larry! What would make you think such a thing? I'm VERY happy to be going away with you! You put a lot of time and effort into this and I am sure we will have the time of our lives!" she smiled and Larry slumped back, reassured.

"Well, I just wanna know, for sure, you know, I, I want you to have a good time," he looked into her eyes, just melting in the love that was flowing from them.

"Larry, no matter where I am, or what I'm doing, just to be with you, everything is perfect," he still looked unconvinced. She cupped his face in her hands and emphasized. "Perfect." Larry smiled and kissed her tenderly.

"Do you have everything?" Renee asked Ally as Ally bustled around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Ally stopped long enough to halfway glare at Renee before Larry interrupted. "No catfights before the drive ladies, it's a long one," they both turned and glared at him. He looked at Ally and changed the subject. "We have to go like in two minutes honey are you ready?"

"AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!" Ally threw her hands up in the air and started running around again in the same fashion. Renee laughed.

Larry smirked as he started to carry suitcases down the stairs, mumbling simultaneously, "Geez Ally, what do you have in here? A ton of bricks?"

"Okay, seriously Ally, do you have everything? Do you want any help?" Renee offered. Ally walked out of her room carrying a bag slightly smaller than a suitcase. "What are you doing Ally? Moving up there?"

"Funny Renee! You have to have EVERYTHING when you leave for three weeks, especially to another state; another habitation…the forest is a very deserted place. You have to make sure you have everything you need," Ally was rambling.

"Ally, honey," Renee tried to stop her, but she had to yell, "Ally!"

"What?"

"Relax honey," she smiled.

Larry reappeared. "Ready?"

"I think so," Ally tossed the bag to Larry who caught it and stumbled back a foot or two.

"Now what's in THIS one?" he asked accusingly. "You had the fridge in the other one, is the kitchen sink in this one?"

"Oh hush you!" Ally smacked Larry on his arm.

"Well the road waits for no one! Let's go!" Larry stepped into the hallway.

Ally hugged Renee. "Well I guess I'll see you in three weeks!"

Renee hugged her friend tightly back. "Have fun!" She called, waving after Ally and Larry as they went out the door.

They'd been on the road for about three hours and Larry had told Ally to keep a look out for the lake.

"That's not going to be so hard Larry, I just have to look for a big body of water and sign with an unreadable name.

"Ha ha," Larry retorted back rolling his eyes.

Ally started to get really psyched about this. She was already looking forward to it. Much to everyone's surprise, especially Larry, Ally loved the wilderness. Camping when she was younger was a favorite thing of hers to do. Ally scooted over and leaned on Larry's shoulder. Larry reached his hand out and clutched hers. Ally sighed blissfully, "I love you."

Larry looked out at the road and the biggest smile came to his face. "Well I'm glad, cause I love you too."

Larry pulled up to this two-story country house and to Ally, it looked like something from the movies. It was a dream, beautiful, large, and roomy; she couldn't wait to live in it, funny as it sounded.

Ally and Larry got out of the car and Ally took a deep breath. "God it's great to breathe some fresh air every once in a while. Don't you think?" she looked over at Larry who looked just about as excited as Ally sounded.

Larry nodded and took Ally's hand. He opened the door and let Ally enter in front of him because she couldn't wait. She rushed inside and started exploring. She entered the house and to her immediate right was the family room. There was a television set with an antenna on top and a VCR right underneath it. Then there was a comfy love seat next to an easy chair. Ally plopped down in it, bounced up and down for like two seconds then got up and went on to explore the kitchen which was behind her to her left. It had a huge refrigerator and upon seeing that, Larry commented, "I guess we won't be needing the fridge you brought."

"Right," Ally replied dryly. Larry kissed Ally on her forehead and Ally immediately forgave him as she continued to explore the rest of the house.

She went up the stairs to the second floor and squealed in delight as she entered the bedroom. Larry was following and came in to see what the squeal was for. He saw Ally on top of the bed, which was rather large for a cabin, her arms stretched out and a big smile across her face. Larry stopped and leaned against the doorframe staring at her with a smirk on his face. Ally opened her eyes and they twinkled, inviting him to join her on the bed. Larry slowly made his way to the bed and crept slowly on top of her. Their lips met and Ally wrapped her arms around him as they kissed passionately, their tongues caressing each other.

Larry pulled apart and Ally got up quickly. "Let's go Larry! We got a lot to do and little time to do it! Let's unpack the car!" Ally was all over the place making Larry laugh out loud, something he doesn't do quite so often.

"Ally, honey, we have three weeks. I think that's PLENTY time to do everything we want," and then some, he whispered to himself as he followed her out.

Ally and Larry had unpacked the car, settled in some, and then decided to go to this little Italian restaurant on the lake to have dinner. Larry couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful Ally looked in the black dress she had on. It was simple, but sexy, all at the same time. He was convinced it was something only she could pull off.

Ally, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking how perfect the whole evening was. They were in a romantic setting, at a beautiful table overlooking this beautiful lake with the funny name, and she was with the love of her life. Yep, Mr. Larry Paul was her 'one' the one person she had been searching for her entire life. It was all too perfect and she wouldn't give it up for the world.

Larry knew it was perfect as well. And it would get even more perfect. After dinner, Larry suggested they take a walk down by the lake on the little bit of sand that was there. They didn't really talk; they just walked hand in hand carrying their shoes and starring at the stars, occasionally remarking on how they thought one another looked.

After a while, Ally saw something sticking up out of the sand and poked Larry. "What is that?" at first, she was kind of scared.

Larry shrugged, "I dunno, why don't we go see," they walked towards it. Ally saw it was a bottle with a note rolled up in it.

"Oh Larry! It's like in that movie Message in a Bottle. I wonder what it says! Maybe it's a love letter to some long-lost love!" Ally sighed, captivated.

"Why don't you open it?" Larry suggested.

Ally looked at Larry and then looked around. "Well, I guess it's alright; I mean it's not like anybody else has claimed it!" She eagerly grabbed the bottle and popped the cork off it, struggling slightly. As she took the note out, Larry reached into his pocket and got a box out. By the time she had opened it Larry had gotten down on one knee and then Ally read it out loud. "Ally McBeal, will you marry me?" Ally looked up and then down at Larry who was on one knee with an open box.

"Ally, I love you with all my heart and soul, you are my one, will you marry me?" Ally's eyes swelled up with tears as Larry had stood back up and proceeded to put the ring on her finger.

"Yes Larry, yes I will," Ally kept staring at him through glazed eyes. "Oh my god," she whispered as Larry leaned down to kiss her. "I love you."

Larry couldn't be more ecstatic. She had said yes. The love of his life had yes, she would marry him, despite his track record, despite the past horrible events, despite everything. Life was perfect. Larry slowly opened his eyes and looked over to where he thought he'd see Ally laying. Instead, he saw nothing and wondered where she went. He got up and groggily stumbled out of the room and down the stairs, calling her name ever so often. He went over to the sliding backdoor leading towards the lake and saw Ally sitting on the dock down a little ways just looking up at the stars seemingly deep in thought, her head leaned against one of the posts holding the dock up. God she's so beautiful.

A little ways down the lake, somewhat closer to where Ally was sitting, a young man, about the age of nineteen or twenty was watching Ally with widened eyes. He had a picture clutched to his chest. A much older picture, a black and white one. In the picture there was young woman, about the man's age now, who looked an awful lot like Ally, coincidentally. He thought he saw her beside the lake yesterday, but he wasn't sure till then. "Mommy," he whispered.

"Come on you lazy bum!" Ally smacked Larry on the butt and Larry rolled over still half-asleep making a weird stretched out face. "Let's go! Lots to do, lots to see!"

Larry grabbed Ally by the waist and drug her down to where he was laying. "Can't we just lay here and relax? It IS a vacation," Larry begged. Ally sighed as Larry snuggled against her. He can be so adorable sometimes, she thought.

"Oh come on! We just got here! The last week is for relaxing!" Ally tried to convince him.

"No, it's not like that," Larry continued, "You're supposed to spread it out baby, ya know, one day do something, the next relax."

Ally wouldn't hear anymore of it. She wiggled free of his grasp and stood up. Well I thought we'd take a boat out on the lake. We can relax," she emphasized relax, "when we stop for lunch in the middle of the lake or something. Come on Larrrry!!!" Ally pleaded, looking at Larry, and stuck her bottom lip out for effect. He never could resist her when she begged like that.

Larry plopped back defeated, "All right! All right! I'm up!" he pushed the covers off and got out of bed. A grin spread across Ally's face and she pranced out of the room.

It was about one in the afternoon and Ally and Larry were on a speedboat in the middle of the lake with the funny name. Larry had had enough and stopped the motor.

Ally looked at Larry funny, "What are you doing Larry?" she asked curiously.

Larry grabbed Ally's hand and brought her over to his arms. "I'm sick of 'exploring,' I wanna play," he looked at Ally devilishly.

"Larry!" Ally whispered hotly. "We're in the middle of a lake!" Ally was blushing.

"Oh come on! You never thought about having fun somewhere other than the bedroom?" Larry still had that mischievous look on his face and he started to kiss Ally's neck.

"Larry," Ally moaned, "Larry we can't," she really was enjoying it though.

Larry took the opportunity to turn her on a little bit more before stopping abruptly. "Okay, whatever you say," he leaned towards the ignition key and Ally grabbed him back to her and their lips met. "This-is-good," Larry said in between kisses.

"Shut, up, Larry," Ally managed to get out between the passionate kisses. Larry gave in and enjoyed his Ally to the fullest extent. Ally's lips started to wander around to the back of Larry's neck, gently caressing his skin causing a slight groan to escape his lips and a bulge to form in his pants, which Ally had removed almost as soon as it had formed.

Larry looked into Ally's eyes as he brought her down to the floor of the boat, cradling her back like a prized possession, afraid of breaking her. It was his turn to tease her now. He started at her mouth and gently made his way down to her neck, and then her chest, and he began to unbutton her shirt, which was also tied up in the center. In untying her shirt, he got easy access up to her breasts and as he gently played with the buds, Ally was moaning in pleasure. Larry smiled at this and brought his lips to hers again, kissing her passionately, allowing his tongue to find hers.

Ally clutched Larry's back and slightly dug her nails into him, causing a slight pleasure to him. She smiled at the thought. Larry removed her shorts and then her underwear, kissing every little nook and cranny imaginable, Ally tossing her head back and enjoying every minute of it. Larry came back up to Ally's lips and devoured them again, hungrily. He finally pulled apart and stared at Ally with passion and love shining in his eyes. With one movement, he entered her and they both gasped in pleasure. Love making had never been so sweet, or interesting…

Larry and Ally were getting off the boat with an experience to last them a lifetime. "What now?" Larry asked.

Ally thought for a moment, "I want to eat in tonight. What do you say, you, go back to the cabin, get comfortable, and I'll be back with the fixing for a romantic dinner for two," Ally licked Larry's neck slow and seductively, sending a shiver down Larry's spine.

"Ooo! I like the way our dirty little Ally thinks," he whispered back in her ear, breathing softly into it, sending a shiver down her spine in return.

They smiled and kissed goodbye. Larry headed towards the cabin and Ally started walking along the road towards a mini-mart up the way a bit. A black 4-Runner passed Ally and the driver looked back at her. He pulled into the parking lot of the mini-mart up a ways and decided to see where she was headed. Much to his surprise she was headed straight for the mini-mart. He watched her as she came in, grabbed a basket, and proceeded to grab wine off of a shelf. Oh no, a drunk. I will have to help her with that, the man thought. He slowly followed her through the store always an aisle over and step ahead of her. Once she paid for everything and headed out, he did the same.

Ally started walking down the street towards the cabin swinging her bag gently along the way providing her body with a rhythm as she went down the street. She followed the road to her cabin and noticed the black 4-Runner slowly make its way down the street behind her. She looked after it, but it was gone and shook it off.

"Larry! I'm home!" Ally set the keys down on the coffee table and made her way into the kitchen to start cooking. Larry came up behind her, wearing nothing but an apron.

"No, let me get that," he grabbed her by the waist and pressed himself against her. A grin lingered across Ally's face as Larry's lips found her neck and he began to kiss her gently. Ally's hands went behind her to grip him and she felt his naked ass.

"What's gotten into you today?" Ally moaned as she turned around and seceded to Larry's passion, once again.
