"Is there anyone I should ask for permission to marry you? "

"Why don't we ask the – "

"The children" they said in unison.

Laughing her melodious laugh Maria gazed up at Greog who was simling completely and totally in bliss and in love, an emotion which he had felt a very very long time ago.

"Capt- "

"Maria I think its time for you to call me Greog. "

"Greog … " Oh how lovely that felt to be able to call him that.

"Yes my love … ? "

" As much as I would like to be with you. I do have to put seven children to bed. "

"Ah well, that will take some time, after all their favourite governess .. soon to be mother is back. There is no way they will let you go so easily " said Greog kissing her temple softly.

"We had better go before someone catches us. "

"Yes yes, you are right as usual my love"

They walked hand in hand towards the villa with frequent stops to shower each other with kisses.

Once they entered the hall, Greog took Maria into his arms and said softly " I'll be waiting for you in my study. Come fast my darling" Maria blushed at the endreament.

But looked upto into those handsome eyes and said " Why Captain I thought you would be helping me put your children to bed. "

"Well well .. my dear fraulien indeed I will help you put OUR children to bed. " said Greog giving her cheek a light brush and a wink.
