Mary woke up at 6 am, with Danny at her side. He felt her stirring and opened his eyes slowly. She leaned over and kissed him lightly.
"Morning, Danny."
He sat up, wiping the sleep from his eyes, "You're still here."
"Of course. Should I not be?" Mary was a little frightened.
"No, I mean, it wasn't a great dream I had. It's real. It's perfect." He smiled at the pleasure in her eyes. She leaned over and kissed him again. He pulled her back down onto the bed. After a minute or two he pulled away.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Mary asked petulantly.
"Nowhere. It just…do we want Joshy waking up and finding me here?"
"Oh, you're right." She kissed him quickly. "Go, go."
He hurried out of bed, pulling on his clothes as Mary sat on the bed and giggled at him. He leaned over her.
"What's so funny?" He kissed her again.
"You." She said between kisses. "Come back for breakfast and we'll tell Joshy."
"Call and invite my dad too."
She followed him into the main suite area and to the door. "Danny. You call your dad."
"Okay." He kissed her again, lengthily, and left. Mary closed the door behind him, leaning against it as she sighed.
LAS VEGAS
There was a knock on the door at 8:30 as Mary was brushing Joshy's hair. He ran and opened the door. Danny and his father stood there with a room service cart and something in a large dress bag.
"Daddy!" Joshy jumped into Danny's arms, who then passed him on to Mr. McCoy. "Grandpa!"
Mr. McCoy hugged him tightly. "Hey Joshy."
Danny pushed the cart inside and greeted Mary with a kiss.
"Whatcha got there?" She asked coyly.
"Breakfast." He revealed the items with a flourish. "Eggs, bacon, pancakes, orange juice, and of course, cereal."
"And what do you have there, Papa Larry?"
"You mean, besides my adorable grandson?" He handed her the garment bag. "Something that belongs to you."
She unzipped it slowly to peek inside. She saw a beautiful and familiar dress. "My prom dress?"
"I saved it for you."
"Thank you, Papa Larry." She hugged him tightly and took the dress to her closet. When she returned to the main room, Joshy had the TV on cartoons with a bowl of cereal as the others sat talking. Danny reached out his hand and pulled her into the chair next to him.
"Should we tell them?" She whispered in his ear.
He nodded. "Dad, Joshy. Mary and I have an announcement to make."
They looked at him expectantly.
"Mary and I are getting married!" Danny declared as Mary raised her left hand.
"Congratulations!" Mr. McCoy hugged Mary as Joshy looked at them in shock.
"What?" He yelled.
Danny knelt down next to him. "We're gonna get married and be a family, Joshy."
"Why?" Joshy ran to his room, "NO!" and slammed the door behind him.
Danny looked at Mary in surprise. "Okay. What did I do?"
"I'll go talk to him." Mary gave Danny a quick kiss and walked into Joshy's room.
