Sharing the News
"Morning." Martin said as he walked into the bullpen, Samantha took the day off because Cecilia was sick. It hadn't been 12 hours since they decided to get married, but Samantha and Martin were already anticipating the next time they say each other.
"Morning." Danny replied as he took a swallow of coffee.
"Guess what?" Martin was ready to tell the world about the big news.
"Oh! I love this game!" Danny was already hyped up on coffee, "Is it good or bad?"
"Good. Really good." Martin poured himself a mug of coffee.
"You and Samantha are getting married?" Danny asked and Martin stared at him dumb folded.
"Thanks for stealing my thunder."
"Seriously? You guys are getting married? That's great, Fitz."
"Who's getting married?" Vivian asked as she joined the boys in the bullpen.
"You can tell her." Danny said and took another sip of coffee.
"Gee, thanks Danny," Martin said sarcastically, "Samantha and I are getting married."
"Congratulations!" Vivian hugged Martin "Since when?" She asked
"Since last night, I proposed and she said yes." Martin said proudly.
"Is she pregnant?" Danny had a strange sense of humor
"No, Danny. How is that even relevant?"
"Just wondering," Danny rolled his eyes, "Don't take everything so seriously."
"So, do we have a case to work on?" Martin asked and Danny and Vivian begun to fill him in about a missing accountant.
"Hey, Ceel. How ya feeling?" Samantha asked her young daughter.
"My throat still hurts." Cecilia whispered from under the blankets.
"Are you hungry at all?" Sam sat at the foot of the bed.
"No."
"Here, take these," Samantha gave Cecilia a children's Advil, "You just need to chew it."
Cecilia took the aspirin and took a swallow of water to get the faux-orange flavor out of her mouth.
"Hunny, I wanted to talk to you about something important. But if you're too sick,"
"It's okay Mommy, you can tell me." Cecilia smiled despite her sore throat
"Martin, uh, your dad. We've decided to get married." Samantha waited for her daughter's reaction.
"Yay!" Cecilia said enthusiastically, tired, but enthusiastically. "That's good."
"Yea, I think so too. You should go back to sleep so you can feel better. Just call if you need anything, I'll be in the living room."
"Okay. I love you, mommy."
"I love you too, Ceel." Cecilia rolled over and went back to sleep and Samantha quietly left the room. She was glad Cecilia accepted, and was the thrilled, about the news of the engagement. Samantha was nervous herself, though. Even though Martin was living with them and they had a perfect child together, she still felt uneasiness in the pit of her stomach. But she loved Martin with all of her heart, and was ready to take the next step.
