As Maria watches, Georg covers his son with a blanket. He watches as the boy slowly closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep. Georg still can't believe he found them both and that they will finally be a family. Maria sensing what Georg is feeling touches his shoulder.
" He is beautiful isn't he" she says smiling down at their son.
Looking up into her eyes Georg touches her cheek " I love you". Georg stands and kisses her softly. She closes her eyes as he holds her in his arms. They walk out of the room and go to Reverend Mothers office. They tell her of their plans to marry as soon as they go back to America.
" When are you planning to leave Captain? Reverend Mother asks.
" Well we have to get the paperwork for Georg set with the authorities. I will need his birth certificate showing that Maria and I are his parents. I also have to make arrangements for our trip back to America. This will probably take a week to ten days" Georg says as he helps Maria on with her coat.
" Very good. I trust I will see you both in the morning" she says as they open the door.
Maria waves goodbye and hand in hand Georg and her walk out of the abbey and to his car.
"Where are you staying Georg?
" I left so quickly that I didn't make arrangements. I thought I would try and get a room anywhere that has a vacancy" he said as he opened the car door.
" I am staying at a small hotel in town. Joseph arranged for us to stay there. It's not very fancy but it's clean" she says as they drive towards town.
"When we get there I will see if they have a room" he says reaching over to hold her hand.
They arrive at the hotel and Georg asks about a room. They have one left. Maria calls up to Josephs room and arranges asks him to come down and meet her in the lobby. Georg brings his luggage in and the bellboy takes it up to his room.
Maria sees Joseph step off the elevator and takes his hand. "There is someone I want you to meet" she says as she walks towards Georg.
"Joseph I would like you to meet Captain Georg Von Trapp" Maria says smiling.
"Captain Von Trapp? Georgs father. Maria he did come back. I am so happy for you, for the both of you. Come lets have dinner you must tell me everything" he says shaking Georgs hand.
They go into the restaurant and have dinner. Maria and Georg tell him of the events of the day and how they found each other. They tell him of their plans to bring Georg to America and their plans to marry. He watches as Maria and Georg look at each other. They are still so much in love even after all that has happened. Georg tells him of his house in Vermont and of his seven other children.
" When will you be leaving" Joseph asks.
" Well there is some business I would like to take care of regarding my house. I plan on donating it to the Abbey. We also have to make arrangements for Georg. There is a lot of red tape involved with bringing him back. I would assume late next week. Probably next Sunday" Georg says as he sips his wine.
Thinking to himself Joseph begins to think of a wonderful surprise for them both. He will need the help of Reverend Mother and contacts back in the states. He excuses himself so he can go to his room and begin his plan.
