A/N I know it's been a while but I am incredibly busy. We have about a million tests a week. Now, I'm disappointed I've received only 2 reviews but thanks to those who did review. Remember more reviews, faster updates. Just a word of warning though, this chapter has Sam romancing Stacey. I wanted to show their bond as husband and wife. And besides, this is NOT typical me. I'm feeling a bit odd today and this chapter is totally out of character for me. Remember more reviews, faster chapters.

Stacey took her key out of her purse and let herself in her house. She
proceeded on upstairs to Sam and her room.

"Hi baby" Sam greeted her, kissing her cheek.

"Why are you all dressed up?" she asked, taking in his formal attire.

"Nothing much... would you put this on for me?" he asked, showing her a
beautifully beaded red and gold dress.

"Oh my gosh!" she gasped "it's beautiful. How on earth did you choose
something like that?"

"Don't you trust my taste?" he asked her, laughing.

"Not really and why would I put this on? Are we going somewhere?"

"Fine, if you must know I asked for Kristy's help." He replied "and as
for where we're going, you'll find out when we get there."

"Sam, tell me where we're going! And Kristy would never be able to choose
something like this either."

Sam laughed again. "I should have known you would be suspicious, I gave
Kristy my credit card and I think she asked for your friend, Claudia's
help."

"But where are we going?"

"It's a surprise!"

"But..."

"No buts, now go put that dress on."

"Why won't you tell me?"

"It's a surprise! Now go and put your dress o, we haven't done anything
special in a while."

"Where?" Stacey teased him, putting her arms around his neck. "The
bathroom or... here?"

"Oh, it looks like we can take our dessert right here." Sam replied,
kissing Stacey.

"What about the appetizers?"

"We can have our appetizer; dessert and the main course right here, right
after the actual dinner." Sam murmured I'd like to discuss something."

Stacey quickly put the dress on, curious to know where Sam was taking her
and what they were to talk about.

Before she could leave the room, gently took hold of her arm. He tried to
tie a length of silken cloth around her eyes.

"Ok, what's going on here?' She demanded suspiciously?"

"Nothing I just want it to be a surprise."

"What is the surprise, exactly?"

Finally, Stacey relented and let Sam tie the piece of cloth around her
eyes.

He took her hand and guided her down the stairs.

When they reached what they both thought of as the "garden room" because
it opened and led into a beautiful flower garden with a fountain in the
middle, Sam removed Stacey's blindfold.

At first she was annoyed. "You blindfolded me to bring me..."

She broke off when she saw the beautiful room. There were rose petals and
scented candles everywhere. She saw the crystal and the silver on the
snow white cloth covered able and in the middle of it all was a bottle of
expensive champagne and a beautiful long-stemmed rose. In the background,
soft violin music played.

"I would have hired a violin player, but I thought we would have enjoyed
our privacy." Sam said, handing her the rose.

"Oh Sam" Stacey replied, as she inhaled the rose "This is more romantic
than any restaurant."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and they shared a long kiss.

One and a half hours later...

"Stacey... Sam started "What would you think of..." "I mean would you like
to..." he stammered "Could we-"

Stacey burst out laughing. "Sam, what on earth are you trying to say? You
have to say so as I can't read minds"

"Well here goes... Stacey, would you like to try to... have a child with me?"

Stacey just stared at him.

"Dr. Argragion-Pademan said it would be ok, as long as you rested." Sam
continued "We could afford it if you time off from-"

Stacey interrupted him by throwing her arms around him. "I would love to
have a child! I don't care if I have to stay home to do so..."

"Great" Sam told her, kissing her.

Soon the kissing led to something more and Sam was carrying Stacey up the
stairs.

"Is it time to start on our little plan now, Mrs. Thomas?"

"Yes, I do believe so."
