"Is the suit and tie really necessary?" Clint grumbled as he adjusted his tie once again. "I feel like this thing is choking me."
"Oh stop being so dramatic."
"I'm not being dramatic, there is a reason I don't wear these things." Clint frowned as he loosened the tie a bit. "That's better."
Phil smiled as he glanced over at Clint. "You really do look handsome in that suit; I need to take you out to nice places more often."
"Uh huh, so are you going to tell me the name of this fancy restaurant you've decided to take us to?"
"No and we will be there in a few minutes so I need you to close your eyes now."
"Is that really necessary? I don't even know where we are right now." Clint said as he turned to check on Tasha.
"Part of the surprise is that you don't know where we are until I say so and promise me you won't peek." Phil replied.
"Okay I promise." Clint replied as he turned around and closed his eyes.
Phil grabbed Clint's hand and gave it a squeeze as he pulled into a parking lot. "Sit tight for a few minutes."
"Okay." Clint squeezed back.
Getting out of the car, Phil went to the back seat and un-strapped Tasha who had just woken up for her short nap. Making sure he had the blanket wrapped tightly around her he reached in and grabbed the diaper bag before shutting the back door. Moving forward he opened the passenger door and helped Clint out before passing him Tasha. "Alright let's get out of this cold." Phil said as he took Clint's free hand in his.
Trusting Phil to guide him the right direction, Clint tighten his hold on Tasha and started walking. They were soon inside a warm building which was surprisingly quiet. Phil led them a few more feet before coming to a stop.
"Okay, just a few more minutes." Phil said as he put down the diaper bag and removed his jacket before helping Clint out of his before coming back and re-taking Clint's hand. "Okay you can open your eyes now."
"Phil, where are we?" Clint asked once his eyes had adjusted to the light in the room. From what he could see of the room behind Phil looked like a banquet room, with one long table that appeared to be set for nine.
"I've made several mistakes in my life." Phil started. "But loving you was never a mistake and the result of our love brought the greatest gift possible. I can't picture my life without either one of you and I hope I never have to. I asked you an important question several months ago after we learned that you were pregnant with Tasha and you already gave me an answer and I hope that hasn't changed."
"I meant what I said, it will always be yes."
"So if I were to ask you to marry me tonight, that would be a yes as well?"
Clint squeezed Phil's hand and stepped closer. "Phil there is nothing I would love more then to marry you tonight, so yes."
Phil pulled Clint in for a kiss before pulling back and wrapping his arm around the other man. "Hear that everyone, he said yes."
Clint spun around as the door behind them opened. "Nat, Eric. What are you two doing here?"
"Like we'd miss seeing you and Phil get married." Nat answered as she rushed forwarded and pulled Clint then Phil into a hug before plucking her goddaughter out of Clint's arms. "Of course, I wouldn't want to miss seeing this little one on her first Christmas."
"You two spoiled her too much with the Christmas presents." Clint said as Eric hugged him. "I'm so happy you're here, I've missed seeing you both."
"It's good seeing you again Jasper." Phil smiled as he shook the other man's hand.
"You as well Phil. I can't get over how much your little girl has grown." Jasper commented as he placed his arm around Eric's waist.
"I can't believe it's been four months since we've seen all of you." Eric remarked as he moved closer to Jasper. "It will be nice to finally work from home."
"Malibu is nice this time of year." Natasha spoke up from where she was standing with Maria.
"That's not what you say every time I talk to you on the phone." Maria said as she managed to steal Tasha from Nat. "Is this the dress you were telling me about? It's so adorable on her."
"Are you two going to hog her all night?" Eric asked as he and Jasper left Phil and Clint's side to join the two women.
"Come for the wedding stay to play with the baby." Phil whispered in Clint's ear as he pulled the other man into his arms.
"Tasha sure does make entertaining easier though." Clint whispered back as he wrapped Phil's arms around himself. "This was an amazing surprise Phil. Thank you for making this Christmas even more memorable. How did you pull this all off?"
"You're welcome and trying to plan something to surprise you is harder than I thought it was going to be. I don't think I would have been able to pull it off without Nick's help."
"Always happy to help." Fury said as he walked into the room followed by Dr. Michaels and his wife.
"Sorry were late, there was a bit of a fender bender down the road and traffic was very slow to be re-routed." Dr. Michaels said as helped his wife take off her jacket. "Phil, Clint I'd like you both to meet my wife Helen."
"It's a pleasure to meet both of you; David has told me so much about both of you." Helen smiled as she shook both of their hands. "Clint, I have to say you look amazing. It took me almost a year to lose the weight after our first child."
"Thank you Helen." Clint blushed slightly. "I'm happy that you were both able to be with us today."
"A wedding beats skiing in Vermont any day. Now where is this adorable daughter of yours?"
