Hey everyone! I'm the "H" in DEHD. Reviews mean love!
Disclaimer: I don't own In Plain Sight. If I did, it would've had a beautiful Mary/Marshall ending!

Mary Shannon glanced at her partner over top over top of the case file she was pretending to read. To her surprise, Marshall was totally zoned out, glaring at her engagement ring. She wiggled her finger and Marshall snapped out of it, his eyes flying to her face. Giving him her usual smirk, she asked, "What's the matter, Doofus? Jealous?"
Her partner rolled his eyes and said "About what? You or that sparkling ring?"
Without an answer, they both turned back to their work. The office was in the process of falling into a comfortable silence when Stan stepped out of his office and called his two marshals to the conference room.
Once they were seated, Stan passed both inspectors a new case file. Each folder had the picture of two young girls, obviously sisters, smiling widely and waving at the camera. Mary couldn't help but smile at the happiness on their faces, but found herself wondering what these innocent girls had seen that sent them into WITSEC. As though he could read minds, Stan spoke up,
"These two, Erin and Paige Franks, were witnesses to the murder of their parents, Steve and Jessica. Apparently, the father got himself tangled up with some international smugglers."
"What do they smuggle?"
"Just about everything: drugs, guns, people. Anyways, the men who killed the girls' parents HAVE been identified, but have yet to be captured, so the DOJ has a special request for us."
Stan silenced himself as Mary and Marshall opened the case files. The two marshals looked up at Stan. Everyone stared at each other for a minute, and then Marshall broke the silence.
"Stan, what's the DOJ's special request?"
Stan grinned while saying, "Because of the importance of this case, the DOJ doesn't want the girls to be left alone, or even be put up for adoption in the WITSEC community. They asked me to have two of my inspectors stay with the girls, undercover, of course, as... well... I'm not sure how to put this..."
Mary snapped, "Jesus, Stan, spit it out!"
His grin growing, he replied, "Well, Mary, Marshall. Let me just be the first person to welcome you both to parenthood!"
