1 year later.
"Sam!" Addison called out from the living room to the kitchen "Sam get the camera!" Sam picked up the camera from the counter and walked out of the kitchen.
"Watch this" she laughed "Ok Amy, are you gonna show Daddy your dancing?" she said lifting Amy from the floor so she stood.
"Dada!" Amy laughed, clapping her hands together, Sam laughed and sat on the sofa, he turned the camera on and pointed it in Amy's direction, she instantly took shaky steps towards him and reached out to it "You love the camera don't you baby girl" he laughed.
"Amy honey, dance" Addison said as she turned the music back up, Amy instantly started to clap her hands and move her knees up and down to bounce herself, laughing loudly as she listened to the music.
"Look at you Amy girl" Sam laughed "My little dancing star"
"Dada!" she laughed, reaching out to him.
"You wanna dance with Daddy baby girl?" Addison laughed, Amy kept her arms outstretched in Sam's direction, he passed the camera to Addison and scooped Amy up high making her laugh before resting her on his hip and dancing with her, as the song changed to a slower one Amy rested her head on his shoulder, Sam pulled Addison's hand so she stood and she wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his other shoulder "Hi" she laughed when Amy reached out and touched her nose.
"I can't wait to show everyone that" Sam laughed.
"You'll have to send it to Maya" Addison smiled "Your big sister would love to see your dancing honey" she said tickling Amy a little, Sam sat down on the sofa and let out a content sigh, Addison snuggled up next to him, Amy yawned and lay against Sam happily.
"I can't believe how fast she's doing things now" he said with a small smile "I can't believe she's only 1, Maya and Olivia weren't as stable on their feet as she is"
"All babies are different Sam" Addison said with a small smile "Olivia was saying more at this age"
"I know" he smiled "I'm just, I'm proud, of all my girls"
"I know" she said with a soft smile, she watched as Amy wriggled herself out of Sam's arms and onto the floor, crawling quickly over to her toys and sitting in front of them "Nice while it lasted right?" she laughed.
"Well I've still got you" he smiled, pulling her closer, both of them simply watched Amy playing "Addie?"
"Yeah?" she yawned.
"How would you feel, about being a Bennett too?" he asked quietly, Addison instantly looked up at him "I'm serious" Sam smiled.
"You're, you're serious?" Addison stuttered.
"Marry me Addie" he whispered, kissing her softly.
"Ok" she said with a slight laugh "Yeah, I'll marry you"
"I've been wanting to ask for months I just, didn't know when, I wanted it to be the right time and…"
"This was the perfect time" she smiled "Perfect"
"Wait here" he said standing up and running up the stairs, when he returned he got down on one knee in front of Addison making her laugh a little, he held out an open ring box in her direction.
"Addison Adrienne Forbes Montgomery, I love you, will you marry me?"
"I already said yes" Addison giggled, leaning down and kissing him, he grinned a little and took her hand, sliding the ring on her finger "It's beautiful Sam" she whispered.
"I know" he said proudly, Addison rolled her eyes and kissed him again.
"Look at her" she laughed, looking at Amy still playing with her toys "Completely oblivious, sometimes I don't think she'd even care if we weren't here"
"You know our Amy Addison, once she's in the toy zone she's not aware of anything else, just like you and shoes" he teased.
"Shut up" she said swatting his chest "Or you won't get any celebratory sex tonight" she whispered.
"I'll definitely shut up then" he smirked "I should start dinner, is pasta ok?"
"Sure" Addison smiled "I'm gonna go uh, next door"
"Go" he laughed "Get out of here" he said nudging her a little.
"Amy, want to go and see Aunt Amelia?" Addison said reaching down and stroking Amy's soft curls.
"No" she replied simply.
"I told you Addie, she's in the toy zone" Sam smirked, Addison laughed at him and stepped out of the patio doors, she crossed the deck to Amelia's side and walked up to the house, she knocked on the back door and slid it open when Amelia waved her in from where she stood in the kitchen.
"Hey" she smiled "What's up?"
"Is this a girl thing?" Adam asked from where he was watching TV on the sofa "Do I need to leave?"
"No, no, you can stay" Addison said with a slight laugh "I was just wondering Amelia, how would you feel about being my maid of honor"
"Being your what?" Amelia exclaimed, she put her coffee mug down and walked around to where Addison was stood "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"As of, not even 5 minutes ago" Addison said showing her the ring.
"Oh my god! Addie this is, congratulations" Amelia said hugging her tightly "If I was the type of friend who cried at stuff like this, I would totally cry right now"
"Ok" Addison laughed "I'm serious about the maid of honor thing by the way"
"Hell yes, we're gonna have one hell of a bachelorette party" she grinned "The men can watch the kids"
"What if we wanna plan something wild for Sam?" Adam asked.
"Wild?" Amelia said with a raised eyebrow "Adam, your last "guys night" was over by 9:30, my Mom stays out later than that" she said dryly "You're looking after the kids, ok?"
"Yes honey" Adam mumbled, sinking into the sofa with a slight pout.
"And…."
"Congratulations Addison"
"Thanks" Addison said with a slight laugh "So um, I'm gonna go home but, I just wanted to tell you first so…"
"Tell Sam I said well done for finally growing a pair" Amelia smirked "It's about damn time he made an honest woman out of you"
"I will" Addison laughed "Bye guys"
"Bye" they both replied, waving to her a little as she left the house.
"Finally" Amelia sighed as she dropped herself onto the sofa, her head coming to rest on Adam's shoulder.
"So….you gonna marry me one day?" he asked.
"I just let you move in, don't push it" she said patting his chest.
"Yes dear" he smirked.
~x~
"Wow" Addison panted as Sam rolled off her that night "That was….wow"
"Wow indeed" he breathed out, kissing her neck gently and then her lips.
"I mean it's always great but that, that was, that was our birthdays put together wow" she said with a slight laugh "We're doing that again"
"Oh, I know" he smirked, brushing hair back from her face "I can't wait to marry you"
"Me either" Addison smiled "I want to do it soon"
"We can start planning tomorrow if you want" he said with a small smile "It's not like we're going to have something big and fancy, just family and close friends"
"Exactly what I was thinking" Addison agreed "Out on the beach maybe? We could even do it here"
"Where we had our first kiss" he said softly "That's where we could say our vows"
"Yeah" she said with a soft smile "That sounds perfect….we've got to make sure Maya, Dink and Olivia can be here, and your Mom"
"Ok" Sam said kissing her "We're going to plan this thing then, our perfect beach wedding"
"Starting tomorrow" Addison grinned.
"But for now, we're gonna have hot engagement sex again" he grinned, Addison grinned back at him and straddled his body.
