A/N: This story is the first of a series of one shots about Megan and Don. It's being categorized as general because each chapter is a different one shot in a different way. Some may be sort of based off episodes. Some may take place in the future. Some just may be random things that came to my mind, kinda like this one.
A/N: Truly, I have no clue where this came from. It just came. So I wrote it. And here it is. It takes place in the future.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
It rang.
And rang and rang and rang, just waiting for Don to pick it up, flip it open, and answer it, despite the fact that it was in the middle of the night.
So that's what he did. He picked up his cell phone and answered it.
"Eppes." He said.
"Is that how you talk to your favorite person in the world?" Megan asked,
"No, you're right. You better go find David." Don teased her.
"Thanks." She said sarcastically. "But seriously, is that how you always answer your phone?"
"Yeah, I guess it is." Don said.
And from that moment, he was constantly aware that that was how he answered his phone. Always with a crisp "Eppes", no matter who he was talking to, now with the exception of Megan.
After that conversation, almost four years ago, he had told her how he felt. He told her he loved her. He told her how scared he was when she was kidnapped. And to his surprise, she had kissed him and told him that she loved him too.
They had been together ever since. Almost 3 years after they started dating, he had proposed.
That brought them to right now, he was at work. She had gotten lucky and didn't have to be at work until that afternoon. It was going slow, so he decided to call her.
It rang.
And rang and rang and rang before Megan answered.
"Eppes." She said.
"Thief." Don teased.
"How?" Megan asked. Don could practically hear her smirk.
"That's my greeting." Don said.
"It's mine now too." Megan giggled.
"No, you answer you phone with Reeves. I answer mine with Eppes."
"Well, your dad and Charlie also answer their phone like that sometimes, so why can't I? I mean, it's my last name too."
"That's right." Don's tone softened. "And it's going to stay that way."
"I should certainly hope so." Megan said. "Because you are quite possibly the best husband alive."
"Well that's good." Don said. "Because you are definately the best wife that a guy could ask for."
"Thanks Don." Megan said from behind him. She giggled. He had assumed that she was at home, but in actuality she had been climbing out of her car to convince him to come out to breakfast with him and had come up behind him.
Don shut his phone and threw it on the desk. "You're welcome Megan." Megan wrapped her arms around him.
"Miss me?" She asked.
"You bet." Don said. "Come on. Let's go get breakfast or something."
"It's like you read my mind, Mr. Eppes."
"Then, let's go, Mrs. Eppes." Don placed an arm around her waist and led her out of the office, thinking about just how important names really were.
A/N: Reviews please? I'm going to try to do one a week, maybe more.
