Alright here is the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy. As always read and review please. I can always use ideas on how to better my story. Thanks!

Hadley stared down at the little bundle of joy in her arms. The baby girl lay peacefully wrapped in a blanket in Hadley's arms. Murphy looked at the two of them with pride knowing that was his baby girl and fiancée. Murphy smiled thinking back to when he had proposed.

*Flashback*

"Hadley, love, let's go for a walk." Murphy said trying to act casual. Connor smiled and nudged Michelle who grinned widely. Da chuckled a little bit. Hadley was oblivious to everyone's reactions.

"Alright, let me grab my sweater." She got up to go upstairs and get it but Murphy handed it to her before she even took a step. She smiled and took it putting it on. She loved how he did that. Always having everything ready for her.

"All set, let's go." She said taking his arm and walking out of the cottage with him. They walked down a path behind the cottage in silence for a while. They came upon a meadow of wild flowers and Murphy suddenly stopped. Hadley looked at him with confusion only to find he wasn't standing by her. He was kneeling on one knee and kissing her hand.

"Hadley, I love ye. More than anything in the world. I can't imagine life without ye. Yer me everything and I want to spend the rest of me life with ye." He took out a little jewelry box and opened it up. Inside was a small diamond ring in the shape of a heart. "Hadley, will ye do me the honor of becoming me wife?"

Hadley couldn't breathe. She was in shock, happy shock, but in shock. She finally found her voice after what seemed like forever but was only seconds.

"YES! Yes! I will, oh Murphy I so will." She said tears pricking her eyes. Murphy slid the ring on her left ring finger and kissed her passionately then knelt down again and kissed her growing belly carrying their child.

"I love ye Hadley."

"As I love you my Murphy."

*End Flashback*

"What are we going to name her?" Murphy asked as he held his baby girl and watched her sleep.

"I was thinking Marie. I've always liked the name."

"Perfect. Hey there little Marie. I'm yer da. Yer just the sweetest thing on the planet aren't ye." He said softly. Hadley closed her eyes and decided to sleep for a bit while Murphy watched over Marie. Michelle came back to check on Hadley to see how she was doing and found her asleep. She saw Murphy talking softly to the baby in Gaelic while rocking her in the rocking chair. She smiled and quietly left the room.

Going down stairs and out onto the porch she saw Da sitting in his usual chair working a piece of leather and smoking a cigar.

"Hey Da. Is Connor back yet?"

"Not yet lass. Why is there something wrong?"

"No, I just miss him is all. Ye know me and hormones. They don't exactly mix. One minute I'll be fine the next I will be crying fer no fucking reason. He is the only thing that keeps me grounded." She said with a sigh. She said down slowly in the chair next to him.

"Well that's normal lass. Ye should have seen the boy's mother when she was pregnant. She was always having the worst mood swings. But being a good husband I was there for her like Connor is there for ye. Ye may not be married yet but trust me lass, he will ask soon. Or it will be my boot up his arse." She laughed at that making him smile.

They looked over the fields where Connor would be returning home from any moment and sure enough a horse with Connor on it was herding sheep back into a pen. Connor led his horse back into the barn and soon after he was walking out of it making his way towards the cottage. She stood and walked off the porch waiting for him at the foot of the stairs. He saw her and walked faster reaching her at almost a run kissing her with passion then kneeling down and kissing her belly where their babe grew. She smiled at him and he returned it with an equally big smile.

"Hadley had the babe. It's a beautiful wee girl. They named her Marie."

"Marie. What a beautiful name for a girl."

"Aye. We will have to start thinking of names for our babies."

"Still think yer carrying twins love." He said with a smile.

"I'm twice as big as Hadley and we got pregnant almost at the same fucking time. So aye I think its twins." She said with a stubborn look and a hint of a smile. He laughed and kissed her brow. They walked back to the cottage hand in hand until they came upon Da who was still sitting in his chair. He loved seeing his boys so happy.

"Connor yer ma is coming over to see the new babe. She said she will be by in an hour or so." Connor groaned which caused Michelle to smack his arm playfully.

"Be nice Connor. Annabelle is a sweet woman. Last time she was here we had a wonderful time together."

"She was just putting on an act fer ye. She normally isn't that….normal. Didn't ye see the dirty looks she was sending Da? That was her true self."

"Connor MacMannus! That is yer Ma! Fer heaven's sake, do I have to deny ye sex in order to get ye to behave? Ye know I will do it."

"Ye wouldn't." Connor said fearfully.

"Try me." She said with a grin.
