Leslie nervously waited for Ben to arrive back, she was at the airport 2 hours early and felt every minute pass her by. The morning sickness was getting worse and she was longing for a Ben hug, so when she saw his face arrive in the airport she felt a huge weight off her shoulders. They could take on the world - and the parks department together.
"I missed you so much" He said to her mid-snuggle "I missed you BOTH, so much" Leslie pulled away and looked serious, she had missed him, but there were more important things they needed to talk about "they don't even know we're together, not really anyway. I know Tom thinks he knows, and April isn't that dumb, only Beautiful Ann really knows the full story, how can we spring this on them? And how can we tell chris without him knowing we broke his rule? I could lose my job and -" "You look beautiful" he interrupted and gave her another hug "don't worry, I'm not gonna let anything happen that will upset either if you"
As they headed back to the parks department, Ben admittedly felt a little sick. He could tell Leslie everything was going to be ok, but he knew it might not be. All of his doubts faded as he gave Leslie one last reassuring smile, and they walked hand in hand through city hall and into chris' office
