Try this, it plots two points ahead based on the existing data of a month apart.


# Sample dates
 xValues <- seq.Date(as.Date("1990-01-31"), to=as.Date("1992-12-31"), by="month")
# Sample y value
 yValues <- seq(0.1, length=length(xValues))
 mydf <- data.frame(xValues,yValues);mydf
 mydf[,1]
  library(forecast)
 yValues <- as.numeric(yValues)
Ypredict <- forecast(yValues,h=2,level=95)
Xpredict <- forecast(xValues,h=2,level=95);Xpredict

yValues <- as.numeric(Ypredict$mean)
 upper <- as.numeric(Ypredict$upper)
 lower <- as.numeric(Ypredict$lower)
xValues <- as.Date(Xpredict$mean)

 forecast <- data.frame(yValues,upper,lower,xValues)
forecast[1,4] <- '1993-01-31';forecast[2,4] <- '1993-02-28' 
 forecast 
 mydf$upper <- mydf$yValues 
mydf$lower <- mydf$yValues  
PredictedValues <- rbind(mydf, forecast)

library(ggplot2)
predict2 <- ggplot(PredictedValues,aes(xValues, yValues)) +  geom_line(colour="red",size=2)# + geom_point(colour="pink")
predict2 <- predict2 +  geom_smooth(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper),stat = "identity",colour = "pink", fill = "lightgoldenrod") + geom_point(colour="goldenrod",size=3)
predict2 <- predict2 +  geom_text(data=forecast,label=round(forecast$yValues,1),hjust=1.2,colour="blue",size=3)  +
  geom_line(data=forecast,colour="green") + geom_point(data=forecast,colour="green",size=3.5) + 
   opts(panel.background = theme_rect(fill = "white")) + opts(panel.grid.minor = theme_blank())  + opts(panel.grid.major = theme_line(linetype = "dotted",colour="grey89"))
 print(predict2)
