"Leo, I need to talk to you!" Jemma said, rushing into Fitz's bunk. He was sat on his bed staring at the floor, looking shocked when he noticed her stood before him. He stood up suddenly.

"Jemma, hi. Look, I have something I need to say." Fitz stated.

"Me too, but it's super important." Jemma said.

"So is mine. Look, Jemma, this past year and a half, us finally being together…I've loved every second and you were so worth the wait and-" Fitz began, not even realising Jemma was speaking at the same time he was.

"-Leo, I have some big news and I haven't known long but I have to tell you first, I mean, of course I do, it's you, but-"

As the two continued rambling nervously, not taking in what the other was saying, they became distracted by their own actions. Jemma reached into her bag and started searching through it while Fitz bent down and opened a drawer before looking inside. They both took a deep breath as they found what they were looking for, grabbed it and faced one another.

"Look, Jem-"

"-Look, Leo-"

The both stopped when they saw what the other was holding in their hands. In Fitz's hand was a small box, which had been opened to reveal a beautiful, sparkling ring. In Jemma's hand was a positive pregnancy test.

"Oh." Jemma whispered, staring intently at the ring.

"Oh." Fitz muttered, staring intently at the test.

The pair's eyes found each other's and they both found themselves chuckling slightly. Of course, you wait years until you start dating your best friend and then two major events happen in one day.

"Which um…which one do we deal with first?" Fitz asked awkwardly.

"…Well, um…I don't know. I mean, you are already on one knee so…" Jemma said.

"True. I had this whole speech written down but I've gone blank." Fitz chuckled.

"Me too." Jemma laughed. She took another deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to take in the utter madness happening around her.

"This is so…us." She smiled.

"I know." Fitz agreed.

"Okay, breathe Jemma, breathe." Jemma said to herself as Fitz looked up at her with his puppy dog eyes.

"…Jemma, being with you has been so worth the wait in every single way possible. I only ever dreamt that you saw me in the way I saw you so I've spent every day for nearly two years pinching myself, squeezing every day I'm with you dry in case I wake up. I love you so, so much and…in light of very recent events..."

Jemma chuckled at that.

"…I have even more reasons to want to marry you, and I would like nothing more than for you to be my wife so I can make you and our little one…god, that's weird to say…as happy as I can. So, Jemma Simmons…my best friend, soulmate and one true love…will you marry me?"

"…I do believe I will." Jemma smiled. Fitz beamed as he slid the ring on Jemma's finger and kissed her with all the passion he could muster. She kissed him back as all the puzzle pieces that made up her life firmly slotted together. They parted and Fitz looked down at Jemma's belly, gently placing his hand on it.

"We're having a baby." He whispered with a smile.

"Yes, we are." Jemma replied, glowing with happiness and kissing her fiancé again.

They held hands and walked out, heading to the lunch room to share both pieces of good news with everyone else.

"I hope he or she inherits the looks from you." Fitz said.

"Nonsense; you're far too handsome for your own good. And I want to get married outside." Jemma smiled.

"Done. At least they'll be super smart…" Fitz pointed out.

"That's a very good point. I love you, Leo Fitz." Jemma said, kissing her future husband and father of her unborn child again.

"I love you too." Fitz smiled, having never been happier.
