A/N: I am getting what I think was Marie's last name before she married Tony off of the imdb website. If it is wrong or was never said in the show I am sorry as I have not seen all the seasons. Also I keep spelling Marie's name wrong so if you see it with an a I missed it when I was fixing the name.

One Month later

Tony looked at his classroom again. It was weird to be standing in one so soon after he had up and quit at Wells College. He thought that he would have trouble finding another job so soon after that but he had made up his mind and he was happy about it. But it seems as though they all had thought this one though. As when he went back to pack and get his jeep Dr. Graham informed him that there was a job waiting for him at a college in Connecticut if he wanted the job it was his all he had to do was say yes. Tony does not even remember thinking before saying yes or even asking what the job was. Lucky for him it was the same job he was doing and by agreeing to take the job he was locked into it for the same three years that he had been offered at Wells. Little did Tony know that if he had not quit and went back on his own they where going to send him to that college the next school year. All of them could see that he needed Angela near him to be truly happy. When he first started there he would do as much as he could doing the week often staying late into the night that way he would be free on the weekends to spend with Angela either there in Iowa or in Connecticut. Then when Angela moved to Iowa he would not stay as late anymore sometimes leaving right when his last class was over if there was no practice or a game that night. Then when Angela left it was almost like the college was his home only going to the apartment to sleep and dress.

As Tony stood there he remembered the past month from the first time waking up in Angela arms again to this morning. He had to laugh when he remembered that they had almost eloped the next morning but there was one thing that stopped them was that the family would not be there. Looking down at his left hand he remembered when they did get married. It was right after they had gotten back with his jeep and stuff from Iowa they grabbed the family and went to the little chapel where Sam and Hank had gotten married. He made sure to have a tux and some how Angela had a dress that was the same style as the one he had dreamed about when he dressed with her when she claimed her heart was young enough to keep up with his heart but this one was an ivory color. They went on a week honeymoon to Jamaica making out on the same bench that they had a few years earlier but neither of them stopped this time. He had to smile at that memory and a few others that where going though his head. He had by this time sat down at his desk and had to laugh when he thought of the way the kids had welcomed him back.

Flashback to a month earlier

"I heard Angela was looking for a housekeeper so I applied for the job" Tony said it was great to be back here. He stood there waiting for the rest of the question he know would follow and he was keeping an eye on the breakfast he was cooking.

"Dad what happened after I left?" Sam said as she sat down at the table that was now a little small for breakfast. She did not see that both Hank and Jonathan had left to get the leaf for the table to make it bigger. It was one of the things that had been changed before the whole year in Iowa come to be.

"I dropped you off at the airport and went back to the apartment but it felt wrong to have the award. I had no one to show it with no one to hold it. I did not have the best thing that ever happened to me since your mom died. The next thing I knew I was calling Dr. Graham to quit and heading to the airport to hopefully catch a plane home." Tony seen the look in Sam's eyes and knew what she was thinking. "I was wrong when I said that we were where we were meant to be. I think my place was always meant to be right beside Angela just took us some time to figure that out."

"What do you mean was always meant to be beside Angela? You two did not meet until you where in your 30's." Mona was a little confused by this.

This was the right time to tell all after all it was history. " We meet and kissed when we were 13. I mean Angela was 13 and I told her I was too but I was only 11 at the time." Tony looked at Angela who looked like she could break into laughter at any moment. This really was as much fun as they had both thought it would be when they decided not to elope that morning.

"But Dad you craved Ingrid into the kissing rock and even told us that the girl was named Ingrid. Wait a minute Angela your favorite movie at the time was Casablanca. You liked it so much you had watch it three times before going to camp that year. I missed it when you told us that story." Sam said remember when her friends and Angela had sat around telling of their favorite movies from that age during a sleepover one night.

"Yes and I was scared that you would pick up on that fact. Yes mother you were right fate did have a hand in Tony becoming my housekeeper. I am sure though that his muscles and great smile also had a role in that too."

They had spend the rest of the day telling stories until it was time for Tony to leave to go back to the airport to go back to Iowa to get his jeep and his new jeep.

End of Flashback

Tony had to shook his head and remember why he was here before he remembered what happened with Angela on the plane. He had never flown like that before and it was the best thing to happen to him on a plane. He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not hear his classroom door open.

Meanwhile outside in the hallway

A young woman was cleaning the hallways in her way to the class next to the one Tony was in. As she always did she cleaned all the in season coaches classrooms first as some of them like to come back after practice was over and work. And for some reason even though there was a new baseball coach she had cleaned that room first when getting to this hallway not because it was in season but because the coach they had a late class and she always liked to clean it before that class and then touch it up after the class was over. So when she saw the light on she thought that she left it on so it was a great shock to her when she saw a man sitting in the chair seeming lost in thoughts. He must be Mr. Micelli the new baseball coach.

"Sorry Mr. Micelli. I thought I had left the light on." She started to leave when his voice stopped her.

Back to Tony

Tony looked at the young lady as she spoke and was taken back to high school when he meet Marie. "It is ok. I just wanted to make sure I had everything I need for tomorrow ready to go."

"I just wanted you to know that I try to clean this room first when I get to this area."

"That should be fine to keeping doing and if I come back here after you clean it I will make sure to let you know so you will not think you left the light on again." Tony was still caught of guard by the way she looked it could not be. She would be about the same age as Sam now so it could be. He was mad at himself for losing contact with Marie's family after Marie passed but it was hard for him even with them disowning her. "I am sorry but I don't think I caught your name."

The way he was looking at her she was afraid to tell him her real name but she thought what harm could it do. It was not like anyone called her that name anyways and she wanted to see what happened when she said it. "Maria Sarah but everyone calls me Sarah. Has something to do with an aunt who I was named after that passed away."

Tony felt the blood drawn from his face. It was her. All this time Sam had a cousin and neither of them know. When Marie got sick shortly after Sam was born her family told her to leave Tony when she don't and stood by him even when he was gone playing baseball they disowned Marie. Later after Marie passed away only Nick come around to be there for Sam. It was hard for Marie not to see her niece but she never said anything to Tony he found out later after she had passed away.

Sarah saw Mr Micelli's face go pale and wondered what she said that was wrong. "I am sorry if I said something wrong. I just want to tell you that I always clean this room first."

As he watch Sarah turn to leave he found his voice. "It was not what you said. It is the way you look. It took me back to when I was in high school then when you said you were named after an aunt that passed away I knew." Tony was trying to find the words to tell her what he was trying to say. It was moments like this that he needed Angela there with him. "Do you have a few moments to talk?"

Sarah was wondering what he knew and it was almost her break time anyway. Looking at the clock she realized like she normal did that she had missed her first break and that she need to take it now and not later. "Yes I do as I need to take my break anyways. And what is it that you saw that made you know?"

"I have one question before I answer that. What was your aunts last name?" Tony had to be sure before telling her anything.

"Her maiden name was Milano. I was never told what her married name was but I do know she was married to a baseball player and had a daughter named Samantha. That is about all my family ever told me about her. Sometimes I wish I knew more about her." It seemed strange to open up to the new teacher but there was something about him that made her comfortable.

"And your grandfather's name was Nick." When Tony saw Sarah nodded her head he went on. "Your aunt Marie that you where named after was my wife." Now he really wished Angela was here this was going to be the hardest thing he had to do.

Meanwhile in the hall

Angela had been able to get work over with a little earlier then she thought so she decided to drop by to see Tony and ride home with him. She could hear him talking to someone and then she heard Marie. Tony hardly talk about his first wife and when he did it was normal because he was forced too. Losing someone like that had to be hard. She was so young and full of life from what Tony had told her. Looking into the classroom she could see how much this was effecting Tony. She was about to walk in when she heard Sarah ask if she could meet Sam. There was no other questions.

Back in the classroom

"I think she would love to meet you." Tony said as he looked at the time. He need to leave within the next five minutes if he was going to surprise Angela at the train station. "Am sorry to just drop this all on you and then run off but I need to go if I am going to meet my wife at the train station."

Sarah had looked at the time as well and noticed that her break was almost over anyways. "It is ok I need to get back to work. It was nice to meet you and I hope I can meet Sam soon." Sarah said as she walked out the door almost running into Angela who was coming in. "Sorry I guess I should watch where I am going."

"You are fine. I hope to see you around more." Angela smiled at her as she turned to give Tony a kiss. It was funny to her that he was going to surprise her and he was the one ending up with the surprise.

"Goodnight Mr. and Mrs Micelli." Sarah said as she walked away. She had heard of Tony from a friend that went to college with him. But she never thought he was the missing uncle that she had longed to find since her parents kicked her out for wanting to marry a baseball player. In many ways she was like her aunt and had fallen for the right guy at what seemed to her parents at the wrong time.

"What a lovely surprise. I thought you where working later then this."

"So did I but when I could not come up with anything that did not have the words pasta in it I knew I need a break."

Tony looked around as they left hand in hand yep this was where he was meant to be.
