In Love and Married.

A Babe Story with a mix of Merry Men It will be fluff and fun. This is collaboration between Melanie Campbell and me.

We own nothing; all the characters belong to JE. Thanks JE for letting us play with your babies.

As I was waiting for someone to come and pick me up, I was looking at my ring finger, I still couldn't get used to the idea of being Stephanie Manoso 6 months had gone by pretty quickly. I got to thinking about our wedding and honeymoon.

I wanted to get married in Las Vegas but Ranger wanted to give me a wedding that I would never forget, he wanted me to always remember our special day. I fought him about having a formal wedding because of the fiasco of my wedding day to Dickie.

Ranger promised our wedding would be nothing like that fateful day, he had hired a wedding coordinator who took care of everything, all Ranger and I had to do was agree or disagree. I have to admit it was a beautiful day, one that I will always cherish. Thankfully, Ranger put his foot down from the beginning; my mother was not going to be involved.

So why am I sitting waiting for someone to pick me up? Well in case you haven't figured it out, another car blew up. Yep, my brand new Cayenne that Ranger bought me, he told me that he had been looking for something to put my engagement ring in and the Cayenne was all he could find. Funny guy.

We had all just returned from a take-down with one of the biggest Neanderthal I have ever seen in my life , it was a tough day we were through and had returned back to the garage, there it was this beautiful blue, yes I said blue, Ranger totally went against the grain.

I sat in my seat and stared at it in awe, it was beautiful.

"Ranger, who does the Cayenne belong to?"

"Happy early birthday babe."

"What! Wait, that's for me?"

I jumped out of the car, ran over to the Cayenne it was gorgeous; I opened the door and sat inside. As I was looking around the car, there was a black box attached to a ribbon hanging from the rear view mirror.

Ranger, Tank, Manny, Hector, Lester, and Bobby were all standing around the car and Ranger got into the passenger seat and had a big smile on his face.

"What is that box hanging from the mirror?"

He took it off the mirror and turned to look at me, my heart started pounding, and I had butterflies in my stomach.

"Stephanie Michelle Plum I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"

"Oh my God Ranger, yes, yes, yes, yes, I too want to spend the rest of my life with you."

The guys were all yelling and clapping outside Tank got on his knees and raised his hands up towards the sky and screamed.

"Thank the good Lord; they finally pulled out their heads."

Everyone started laughing as Ranger and I had our lips locked. We sat there looking at each other smiling. We got out of the car to my Merry Men waiting to hug and kiss me. That was a great day.

Sirens brought me to reality and tears started flowing as I looked at my engagement gift going up in smoke, today is a sad sad day. All that was going through my mind was how much I was missing Ranger; he was in DC finalizing some contracts for Rangeman. My phone rang; it was Ranger and he was in panic mode.

"Babe are you all right?"

"Yes I am, please don't be mad at me, but my beautiful engagement gift is up in smoke, I'm so sorry. When are you coming home?"

"Babe as long as you're all right and in one piece, that's all I care about, I can replace the car, I can never replace you."

Lester and Tank came over to me; I said hello and Ranger wanted to talk to Tank. After a few minutes, we were heading back to Haywood with me still in tears.

My Merry men were all on high alert mode and they took me upstairs, we sat in the conference room trying to figure who could be behind this. As the guys were sifting through scenarios and ideas I thought back to our wedding, our honeymoon and my life as a married woman.

I loved being married especially to Ranger; I sometimes wonder if he has second thoughts especially days like today. Woody, Hal, Ram, and Cal all joined us in the conference room. Tank cleared his throat to get my attention.

We all threw out ideas and various possibilities as to who my latest stalker could possibly be. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, it's somehow related to Ranger buying the bonds office, weird shit started right after that happened.

Harry the Hammer wanted out and he knew that Vinnie didn't have the money to buy the bonds office so he approached Ranger. There was a big meeting about it with Ranger, Tank, my merry men, and me. We took a vote. It was unanimous everyone was all for it.

Ranger bought it and slightly changed the name; it is now Plum Bail Bonds. There is a connection, but what it is I can't figure out quite yet.

"Tank, did Ranger say when he was coming home?"

"Yes, he will be home late tonight, his flight gets in around 3am. Ram, Cal, plan on going to pick him up at Newark."

"Hey can I go with you?" I asked.

"Sure bomber, we will leave here around 0130."

"OK, will do."

I decided to go upstairs and take a nap, he's been gone for three weeks and I wanted to be rested up for him because I know full well, he is not going to just come home and sleep. It was going to be a night full of physical activities I couldn't wait.

What should I wear for his arrival, oh I know, I have that tight barely there dress that I wore for a distraction with my above the knee boots and my leather coat. Ranger may not be happy that I am wearing it with the guys being in the car, but they won't know.

When we get home, he will walk into a dimly lit apartment with the fireplace going and soft music playing, then I will rip my coat off and hello Ranger.

I straightened up the apartment, lit scented candles so that the apartment smelled nice and I set the timer to wake me up after a few hours so I could take a shower and get all dolled up for my sexy Cuban man who has been out of town for 3 long weeks.

The apartment was all taken care of except the bedroom, the candles were lit, and I turned on the fireplace. It was time for the bedroom. I sprayed Bvalgari body spray all over the sheets, pillows, I sprayed so much that I started sneezing like crazy. I will spray again before I leave so that by the time we get back it will have a slight scent.

Now time to relax, I turned on the TV to watch Burn Notice, I love that show and I fell asleep so much for catching up on one of my favorite shows.

At 11:30, the alarm went off on my phone. I jumped in the shower, fixed my hair, and put on makeup, got dressed. I looked in the mirror and I have to admit I was smoking. I made sure everything was all nice and neat in the bedroom, sprayed more of the body spray in the bedroom, fluffed up the pillows on the couch, sprayed and put the spray back in the dressing room and headed downstairs.

The guys were waiting for me, Cal gave me a quizzical look and a raised eyebrow.

"What?!"

"Oh nothing bomber nothing at all."

We got into the car and drove to Newark to pick up one sexy hunk of man who just happened to be my husband. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into him.

I had some time to think while I was watching my beautiful Cayenne go up in smoke and one of the ideas was to talk to Ranger about was a road trip. Disney World, Ranger and I along with my merry men, we would go and pick up Julie on the way and spend 10 days at Disney. Once I was done with him tonight, he would definitely agree to a trip to Disney.

Ram was looking at me from the rear view mirror.

"Hey bomber, I see wheels turning in that beautiful head of yours, what's going on in there, what are you up to?"

"Nothing, just thinking about everything I need to talk to Ranger about."

"OH please, bomber you are up to something, isn't that right Cal?"

"Yep Ram, you are 100% correct, bomber has something devilish going on in that mind of hers."

I laughed at them and their comments.

"You'll never know what is lurking in my mind boys."

We arrived a few minutes before deplaning and I told the guys I would go and wait for him at the baggage claim. I got out and walked towards baggage and I waited.

"Hey Ram, what do you think bomber is or isn't wearing under that leather?"

"Man Cal, shut up don't get that conversation started and get me all riled up, not with boss mans wife, but you had better go and stand within view of bomber, if Ranger sees her there alone looking like that, he will be pissed."

"Shit man you're right."

I was getting checked out by a couple of guys waiting for their luggage at another carrousel and it was making me nervous, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to be dressed like this, I should have waited for him at home.

From the corner of my eye, I saw movement as one of the men was inching his way over to me and suddenly, Cal was in his face. The guy started to say something and Cal spoke first, not quite sure what was said but the guy moved back quickly.

"You OK, bomber?"

"Yeah Cal, thanks for taking care of that."

Cal moved back a few steps and stood there in his bodyguard stance and then the most beautiful sight appeared down the escalator and my heart went thumpity thump, I walked over to the escalator and my sexy husband was smiling from ear to ear. What a gorgeous human being ever to exist and he was all mine.

I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him; he put my face in his hands and looked at me beaming.

"Babe."

"Ranger, I am so glad you're home."

"How's my sexy wife?"

I laughed and we walked over to the carrousel, he nodded at Cal and saw the two guys from earlier staring at us. He looked at them and then at me.

"Something I should know about?"

"No darling, Cal already defused the situation."

The bag came around; he picked it up and put his arm around me as we made our way out to the car. I felt eyes on me as we were walking out. Ram was waiting outside the car then opened the door for Ranger and Cal opened the door for me. How people mistake these guys for animals is beyond me.

We both got in the car and Ranger pulled me closer to him and whispered in my ear.

"I missed you babe, I can't wait to see what's under that coat and then rip if off you."

I felt myself turning red and kissed his cheek, I couldn't wait for him to rip the dress off me either. Ha ha, I am such a slut puppy.

We arrived at Haywood and got out of the car, and went straight up to 7. Ranger opened the door I walked in ahead of him, stood in the middle of the room started to unbutton my coat and slowly took my coat off letting it drop on the floor.

"Babe, you are hot, you make that dress look like a million bucks."

"Welcome home honey, I missed you"

I walked over to him, took his hand and led him to the bedroom, he was purring like a kitten and knew I was in for a long night, a very long heart thumping night.

After many rounds of pleasure and sexy Cuban induced orgasms, we were lying with arms wrapped around each other. I missed him so much, thankfully no more going in the wind I can deal with him being gone a few weeks as long as I talk to him every day.

It was now 7:30am when everyone was waking up, we were about to get some sleep. Ranger called Tank and told him that both of us were off line until about 6:00pm, he had already given Ram and Cal instructions to be off line until 3:00pm.

We fell asleep with arms wrapped around each other and I was in my happy land.
