If there is anyone out there still waiting for an update on this..................IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Basically what happened is that I couldn't log in to my old account, so made a new one a few months back to begin posting other stories. Yesterday I logged in to see that one of the mods had so very kindly moved my other fics over into my new account (I don't know who did this, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!) which means I can now finish the story and not leave you all hanging! Here we go!

December 27th 2005. Honolulu, Hawaii.

A year had passed since Kim’s lonely time without Gerry in New York, a whole year. And in that year Gerry had been busy filming 300 while Kim took a few months off and spent time with him on location before going into meetings about her upcoming lead role in a film with the pre production title ‘Probable Cause’. Life was good for the happy couple.

Relaxing in the high walled garden of their rented accommodation in Hawaii Kim sat back in the blistering hot sunshine and smiled to herself; she was so happy and the last year of her life had been incredible. She had been nominated for and won a Golden Globe award for her part as Frankie in ‘Professional Lies’ and as well as the role in Probable Cause had been picked out for another leading part too, one she would begin filming in February. She and Gerry had had the most wonderful first Christmas together and she was adored by his family, just as he was hers. She was still on cloud nine every day, and no matter how many gossip magazines and internet blogs tried to damage her relationship with Gerry they never managed to cause more than laughter between the happy couple (‘I didn’t know I was having an affair with Keira Knightley, did you sweetheart?’ Gerry had commented after reading one of them).

Kim twirled up her long brown hair and idly stuck a pen in it to keep it off her face as she applied more sunscreen, and watched the sudden breaking of the water in the pool in front of where she was sat. Gerry emerged from the pool and sit on the side, reaching for his long island iced tea.

‘Have you got any colour in your cheeks yet milk bottle?’ he said cheekily, and then dodged a flying flip flop thrown at him by Kim.

‘Ill have you know my nose has gone pink!’ laughed Kim as Gerry picked up the flip flop and got up, walked over to her and smacked her on the leg before returning it to her foot.

‘Well if the rest of your body follows suit you will have some interesting looking tan lines’ said Gerry as he ran a finger around the edge of her black crochet swimsuit.

‘And I told you a week ago, no nudie sunbathing for me!’ said Kim, laughing at Gerry’s disappointed face.

‘Okay well if you aren’t up for that, how about we go take a walk along the beach? We haven’t seen much of Hawaii since we’ve been here!’ said Gerry as he winked and smiled at Kim. It was true, for the last week on their holiday all they had done was lounge around in the privacy of the rented holiday home and have vigorous sex sessions, which neither complained about! But they both agreed to actually see some of the gorgeous island they were on before it was time for them to return home after the New Year.

‘I most defiantly am!’ Said Kim, tossing her magazine off her lap and racing in doors to pull her shorts on over her swimming costume and run a brush through her tresses. Gerry brought in some of the clutter they had lying around the patio before returning indoors to dry off and dress.

A short time later and they were walking arm in arm across the beach. Luckily no one had come up to them to ask for autographs or pictures, all they got was the odd stare and a few pointing fingers in their direction and although both loved to meet fans they were glad of being left alone. As they walked Gerry kept turning to look at Kim, and thought back to when he had first met her one cold New Orleans night, dressed as a Goth angel and looking like the loveliest thing he had ever clapped eyes on. He still thought the same thing, and loved her more than he thought possible.

He then turned to look at Kim again, and smiled when he realized she’d been watching him. He put his arm around her and rested his head on her shoulder as they walked. No other person in his life made him as content and happy as Kim did.

After walking and enjoying comfortable silence for 10 minutes they reached a big cluster of rocks right at the other end of the beach where the sea got deep enough to dive into. Kim carefully got herself comfortable on a mossy patch of rock while Gerry climbed up to the higher ones to have a dive. She watched him hurtle past her at speed as he neatly cut the water, and Kim wished to herself she could dive as gracefully as him. The most she had managed to do was a belly flop, and after one summer in Monaco as a youngster where Jeff tried to teach her to no avail she had decided to give up and gracefully slide into the water instead of attempting to dive. Also at the time it was one more thing Gus had in his ammunition to tease her over! She was still giggling to herself as Gerry broke the water and began to swim over to her with a large shell in his hand.

‘Gotcha a present’ he proudly as he presented Kim with the large white seashell. He jumped out and gave her a quick kiss before going back around to climb up again. Kim looked at her gift and smiled, the shell was beautiful. It was mostly white but flecked with little pinkish dots and lines on the underside.

It was when she held it up to her ear to listen to the sea sound that she heard something chink inside the shell. Curious, she turned it upside down and pointed the open end at her palm, shaking the shell gently. Kim heard the object begin to patter along the funnel end of the shell so she shook it a little harder, and couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw what fell out into her waiting hand. It was a square cut blue diamond on a white gold band, and attached to it was a little laminated card on a piece of thread with two simple words, but one big question written on it. ‘Marry me?’

Kim made a disbelieving noise and then jumped out of her skin as she heard Gerry crash through the water again in front of her. She set the shell down by her side and looked at the ring closer. She had never seen anything so beautiful in her life, and shuddered to think just how much it had cost as she stared in utter amazement at it, and the question it represented.

‘You found it then?’ said Gerry, popping up from the edge of the rock Kim was sat on. She nodded, her smile spreading right up to her eyes.

‘And?’ he continued, biting his bottom lip and lifting his eyebrows, giving Kim the biggest, cutest puppy dog eyes she had ever seen in her life.

‘Just call me the future Mrs. Butler’ said Kim as she began to laugh, and with that Gerry pulled himself up out of the sea and threw his arms around her, completely soaking her to the skin in the process. He then took the ring from her hand and put it on her finger before sitting down and pulling Kim onto his lap and kissing her.

‘She’s going to be my wife’ thought Gerry as he kissed her, grumbling gently as she began to trail her nails up and down his back.

‘You’ve made me so happy, oh god I love you so much Gerry’ said Kim as she began to cry.

‘Awww honey, come here’ he said as he wrapped her in his arms again and kissed her head. Truth be known he felt like shedding a few tears of his own he was so elated that she had accepted.

‘I can’t believe the way you asked me either, how long have you been planning this for? Said Kim, once again looking at the gorgeous blue rock on her finger.

‘Probably longer than I should have’ said Gerry with a wink.

‘So, when shall we do it then? And where? Oh Christ we have a million and one things to arrange don’t we?’ said Kim excitedly.

‘Well, why not just us, and why not here?’ Said Gerry. Kim opened her mouth to speak but stopped as she realized he was not finished.

‘Look, you know firstly the chances of us doing this in private are going to be slim to none, word will get out before we know it and the media will take its usual big brother interest and make life difficult for us to enjoy the day in privacy, so why not out here in Hawaii, just you and me? He said.

‘But what about our families? They will be so upset that we didn’t tell them!’ Said Kim, emotion rippling her voice.

‘They all understand the pressures we are under angel, and I’m sure they would be nothing but understanding if we made this decision’ said Gerry. ‘Besides, we can have a huge party to celebrate it when we get back home can we not?’ he continued. He watched Kim sit and think, and think, and think until her face became pained, then blank, then happy. She rolled the decision over in her mind for a few minutes more before smiling widely at him.

‘Let’s do it’ she said, and then kissed him. And with that the wheels were set in motion. Both went back to their holiday home and began to look through the supplied telephone directory for a minister to officially marry them. They had decided they wanted to marry in the small secluded spot right next to the mound of rocks Gerry had proposed to her on rather than going to church or a civil registry office.

‘I can’t believe this is happening, it’s all so fast! Do you think we will find someone before we have to leave?’ said Kim.

‘I hope so!’ replied Gerry, licking his thumb and searching through the directory. He reached the appropriate page and got up to go stand at the old retro style phone on the edge of the mantelpiece, giving Kim the book to read off the numbers to him. They made their way through 3 sides of the book, each time being disappointed as the person on the other end of the telephone line politely informed Gerry they were fully booked right into February. Kim sighed and lit herself a cigarette, passing the book back to Gerry and walking outside to the garden. Something was tugging at her, and she knew just what.

She wanted to call Rosie and Colleen and Andy, her three best friends in the entire world, she wanted to call her Mom and Papa Jeff and get them all on the fastest flight out to Hawaii as she could, but she knew the tabloid speculation would spread like wildfire. Photographers followed them around enough as it was, and kind of sadly found herself agreeing with what Gerry had said; they just wouldn’t be able to do it privately. Before she could think anymore on it Gerry appeared at the sliding doors and smiled at her.

‘Well?’ said Kim.

‘I found one, but I’m afraid there’s a catch’ said Gerry.

‘What’s the catch then?’ asked Kim, stubbing out her cigarette in an empty plant pot before neatly hopping over a flower bed to get back to him.

‘Its tomorrow night’ said Gerry, who then laughed as he saw Kim’s face fall to the floor.

‘TOMORROW? OH HOLY CRAP I NEED MORE TIME!’ she yelled.

‘What for? All you need is something to wear and you can go shopping for that tomorrow daytime, and that’s all there is. Its called being spontaneous’ Gerry replied, loving every second of Kim’s usual stressing in a crisis. Kim took on what he had said and once again agreed with him. She didn’t need any spectacular dress, she was marrying the man of her dreams and if she was any kind of a good girlfriend this would be enough for her. But what she didn’t realize at the time was that her husband to be had made a few secret plans of his own, most definitely deciding that a wedding consisting of just them and two random witnesses was most definitely not enough for her.

A little later that evening after Kim had fallen asleep on the sofa Gerry quietly let himself out of the villa and lit a cigarette to smoke along the way as he walked down to the hotel complex nearby. And with every step he took he smiled a huge happy grin, feeling beyond accomplished that his plan was taking the shape he had originally envisaged when thinking it all through a few weeks previously. Let’s just say his spontaneous marriage proposal wasn’t as spontaneous as Kim might have thought.

‘Gerry, good to see you son’ Jeff said warmly as he stood up and greeted his soon to be son in law with a warm handshake, Kim’s mother Lulu standing up to greet him with a hug as he made his way around the table, finally getting to her younger sister Charlie.

‘I’m glad you outgrew the goth stage kiddo, I think the blonde hair and tan suit you better’ said Gerry as he embraced Charlie, who was now obviously a blonde and also allowed herself to get tanned; and looking so much prettier since she decided white foundation and black hair were no longer to her taste.

‘Thanks Spartacus’ she replied with a cheeky grin, making reference to the fact Gerry had of course just played a Spartan in his last role, and still kept up the huge physique he’d been required to bulk up too (much to Kim’s delight!).

‘So then what did she say? Is there going to be a wedding or are we all out here for no reason?’ said Lulu with a mischievous smile.

‘Yes there will, she said yes and I rushed over here just as soon as I could to tell you, you know what her ears are like, someone could drop a pin in Calgary and she’d hear it from here so I thought it’d be better not to phone one of you!’ Gerry explained as Kim’s family laughed, little Sally trying to heave herself up onto his lap mid way through her sentence and screaming her head off when he picked her up and then tickled her. They still shared that same close bond since when he’d first met her out in Italy, even though she hardly saw him.

‘You didn’t really need to answer that though did you? Just as much as lady Lulu here didn’t need to ask, and it goes without saying how thrilled the family Appleton are for you, for both of you’ Jeff then said to him with a wide smile. He was thrilled to bits she’d agreed; and of course he’d known for much longer than anyone else since Gerry had asked him his permission two months previously.

‘Well not wanting to sound too arrogant, but I knew she wouldn’t refuse’ Gerry replied, making all present laugh. ‘Listen, I hate to cut this short but I have to go and track down my mother and sisters, and also Rosie, Coleen and Andy to deliver the news. See you all tomorrow at seven’ he then added with a nod and a smile, giving Sally a kiss on the cheek before picking her up and passing her to her mommy. He received the same warm congratulations from his family and friends upon telling them, and then headed back to the villa at speed so Kim would be none the wiser to his disappearance. Walking back in through the glass doors he found her still asleep, and stood smiling at her for a few moments before he reached down and picked her up, carrying her in his powerful arms into the bedroom where he lay her down on the bed, removing the long skirt she was wearing and just leaving her in the underwear and small vest top remaining.

‘Until tomorrow soon to be Mrs Butler’ he whispered, kissing her head and gently stroking her cheek before undressing and getting in next to her. It may only have been nine thirty but he knew the day ahead would be long; and also he wanted to save up his energy for the night he would enjoy with his new wife. Yes, he does have a one track mind, but those thoughts are of course only about one lady.
