Sorry for the long wait sever health issues have kept me away from my computer.

Ch 9.

Jules finished the note and looked at Sam. Was this what she thought it was? Could he really do this now?

Just as she is reaching for the hidden compartment someone's phone rings.

"Wait! I need to get this but I don't want to miss this."

Sophie turns to take the call.

"Spike is everyone okay?"

"SPIKE! You scared me; no I will not, NO you can't do that!"

The one sided conversation is interesting and has most everyone's attention. All but Sam and Jules until they hear

"Spike you will not hack into the camera system!"

This is so unexpected that they all laugh.

Sam has an idea.

"Sophie can you Skype on that phone?"

"Oh Sam you are a genius!"

"Don't fill his head with that kind of compliment! It will take 3 or 4 work outs to fix that!" Ed jokes

"Spike, send a Skype Call from the computer to the phone."

"Okay see you in a few."

Sophie hung up the call and waited not a half second later the call came in.

Opening the Call Sophie got the first look at Raff and Spike. Choking back a laugh she set the camera towards the wooden gun case. Waving everyone towards the case she makes sure Spike and Raff can see everything.

"Okay now that everyone is here can I open this?" Jules asks nervously

"Yes!" the group chorus

Laughing Jules turns around and reopens the case

Inside the compartment is another blue box. Opening it Jules catches her breath.

There nestled in the velvet is a white gold ring, diamond chips going about a quarter of the way down the dainty band. The setting on the top is intricately decorated with scroll edged on the top with diamond chips. Set inside surrounded by the glittering chips in a bright green emerald stone.

Turning to look at where Sam had been she has to look down to see his beautiful blue eyes sparkling with hope.

"Julianna Callaghan will you marry me?"

"Yes…yes"

While everyone in the room is clapping Spike and Raff are shouting their congratulations.

Sophie remembers the scene on the phone when she opened the Skype call. Motioning to Shelley to take a look, Shelley snorts a laugh.

Not wanting to draw attention away from the happy couple Sophie and Shelley say goodbye to Spike and Raff. Shelley and Sophie discreetly send txt to their oldest children requesting video or at least pictures of the two SRU sitters.

Date nights for the Team become a tradition but so far nothing has topped the nigh Sam Proposed and gave her a lesson with a 50 cal. The women of the SRU continue to gossip and keep tabs on the men. They have a secret now though and its Jules turn to give the surprise.

So Im not sure weather to continue as one fic or break it up into 2. Suggestions?
