Sam waited nervously for Diane. He had been twiddling his thumbs in the restaurant when she walked in. She could still light up a room with her smile.

Sam got up immediately and went towards her. She suddenly burst into tears and he put her arms around her. She was crying for so many reasons. She was so grateful that he had agreed to see her, so happy and so confused all at once.

Diane finally reduced her crying to small separate sobs. Sam broke away from the embrace slowly and looked at Diane. When he looked at her, he didn't see a strong Diane that he had once knew, he saw a vulnerable little girl, with the occasional tear escaping her still beautiful eyes.

"I didn't know you missed me that much" said Sam, with a little chuckle mixed in with his voice

Diane cracked a little half smile and Sam wiped a little tear from her eye. He let her sit down and just stared at her. He couldn't believe she had come to see him. He occasionally smiled at her and she smiled back but all they could do was study each others faces.

"Sam, I missed you so much. I couldn't live without you, I cried every night, just thinking of you being miles away"

Sam looked down, tears filling his eyes, a lump in his throat. He swallowed, making eye contact with her again.

"I missed you too. I couldn't live without you either. That's why I sold the bar, I needed to get rid of those memories"

"You wanted to get rid of what we had?" she sobbed

"No, no of course not. I just couldn't deal with neing in the bar without you there. You are a part of it, a part of me"

"And you're a part of me"

Literally, she thought.

"Sam, I really need to talk to you" pausing, she watched as Sam poured two glasses of water, one for him, one for her "I'm pregnant"

Water went everywhere, Sam frantically tried mopping it up before Diane put her hand on his arm and told him to stop.

"Pregnant?"

Diane nodded, beginning to cry again

Sam suddenly got up.

"That's the only reason you came back, isn't it?" he said, getting angry. before Diane could explain, he was walking out of the restaurant, leaving a crying Diane alone.

As Sam unlocked his car, Diane ran out of the restaurant and up to him. She slapped him hard across the face in anger.

"How could you! You think the only reason I came back was because of this baby, but I have news for you Mayday, you're wrong! I love you I missed you, I thought about killing myself, but you were too bloody selfish to notice!" she screamed at him, a crowd gathering.

Sam seized her shoulders and told her to calm down, but she slapped him again, and again.

"I hate you Sam! I hate you! Why I ever came back I will never ever know!" She screamed, storming off, not before delivering Sam with one glorified last punch.

As Sam was knocked back by the punch, blood pouring from his nose, Diane ran as fast as she could carry her pregnant self, before turning to stare at Sam one last time. She suddenly softened and ran to him

"I'm so sorry Sam, I'm so sorry!" she cried, cleaning up his nose with her spare tissues

Sam got up and went to his car. he opened the door and got in, signalling Diane to do the same.

Sam shut the door and sat silently.

"I didn't mean to lose my temper at you. I just couldn't believe it. I mean, I'm going to be a father, that's...amazing"

"You really think so?" said Diane softly

"Of course, I do. It was my natural reaction to be angry, I was just...shocked"

"So you believe me when I say that I came back for you, not just because of the baby"

Sam put his hand on Diane's stomach and nodded.

"Marry me Diane"

Diane sat silently

"Oh I'm sorry. That was put of the blue, you probably have so many feelings going around your head and all these emotions and so much to think abo..." Sam was interrupted by Diane, who kissed him like she never had done before.

When Diane drew her lips from his, Sam looked stunned

"Yes Sam, I will"

"Right then, first thing's first, I'm getting my bar back"

Sam started up the ignition, one hand on the wheel, his other free arm around Diane, his beautiful fiancee

Sam flung the door of Cheers open with his arm still around Diane

"Sammy!" screamed Carla, who then caught sight of Diane. "You!" she shouted

"Calm down Carla honey, Diane and I are engaged, and we're having a baby!"

Congratulations spread around the bar, even Carla said it when she saw Sam's face

"And I've come to get my bar back!"

More congratulations shouted around the bar

"I don't think so" said one voice in the corner

It was Rebecca.
