Author's note: So I'm sure a lot of you are upset considering it's been over a year since I've updated, and I'm really sorry about that. I've been going to school and work full time so everything sort of went to hell in a hand basket, but I've noticed an overwhelming response to these stories so I will continue. Please don't hate me for taking too long. Also I haven't been keeping up with the series either, but I will be fixing that soon. Also, I graduated with my associate's degree so I can get back and focus on the story.

In just a few hours Ken would have to be in the meeting room to meet with the hopefully new clients from John Deere. He was going to take lead on the account thanks to Don's help but he was afraid he would end up screwing this up. He had more riding on this then just his career, and needed to make sure he pushed for another promotion soon or he was not sure how he was going to support his new family.

The thought of him and Peggy taking care of a child made him smile slightly but it soon fell when he thought about all the issues that were going to come at them. Not only did they have to go through the normal issues a new married couple goes through, but they also had to deal with his work. The most important thing that they had to face was Pete Campbell, the child's true father, and now the man Ken despised. Everything about the man made his stomach turn, and the fact that he's put Peggy through so much pain killed him even more.

Ken stood by the window of his office with a glass of scotch in his hand that he knew it was too early for, but at this point he needed something to help him with his nerves. A soft knock echoed in his office as someone quickly rushed into his room and closed the door. Ken sucked in a sharp breath and turned around expecting to have to deal with Pete Campbell, but what he saw made him drop his guard completely.

Peggy slowly walked up to him and wrapped her arm around his and looked out the window with him. He couldn't hide the smile that was growing on his lips as he could not believe this was happening so quickly, but he was not scared. He was not scared about marrying her so quickly, or now being the father of a child. He was scared of what others would say about them, or what they will say about her. He had to admit she was a very strong woman but this was something neither of them has been through. Getting pregnant out of wedlock was frowned upon great so he knew that the next few months will be hell for the both of them.

However he was completely willing to go through all of this for her, because now after so long he did not have to hide his feelings. For once he could actually show how much she meant to him.

"People are starting to come to work," She whispered as he started to realize he was now holding her from behind, and nuzzling her neck gently.

"That's what people normally do Peggy," He said with a huge smile. She playfully kicked him with her heel which made him back away for just a second but soon she was in his arms again. "You better get back to your desk before Don says something."

He placed a chaste kiss on her lips before leading her to his door, "Promise to see me after the meeting?"

"Of course, we can have lunch," She said cheerfully before leaving his office, and leaving him to fall onto the couch with a huge smile on his face. He was falling harder by the second, and it was obvious how smitten he was.

He received another knock on the door and was about to open it to say something cute to Peggy but was greeted by Don instead. Don had his eyebrow raised slightly unsure how he felt with Ken smiling that widely, but ended up just shaking his head slowly. Ken cleared his throat, and moved out of his way so he could enter the office. His secretary was standing behind Don but Ken gave her a reassuring smile that everything was okay.

Don quickly began to make himself a drink, and poured Ken a fresh glass, too. "So did you get my card?" He asked while handing Ken his drink before he sat down on the couch. Ken relaxed and leaned against his desk while taking a sip of his drink.

"Yes actually I did. Thank you so much for that. You have no idea how much it means to me and thank you for not telling anyone. I'm not exactly sure when the right time is." He said honestly, "I know I have to do it soon, but I don't want any backlash for her."

"You better at least announce it before she starts showing. I can already tell she's gaining weight, and you know how Joan is. I thought about it a little more last night, and on second thought I think you should say it soon. Probably sometime this week since we just have John Deere to deal with, and by the time next week rolls around everyone will be too busy to think about it. It'll get all the gossip and excitement about it out of the way. Trust me when I say this, the sooner you do this, the sooner you can be focused again," Don said simply before taking a sip of his drink.

"But Pete…" Ken started.

"Fuck him. He doesn't even have enough balls at work to do his job. What makes you think he can go against you? You're moving up in this company Ken, and he's not. Honestly if he keeps this attitude of his up he won't have a job at all, but you didn't hear that from me," Don said quickly. Ken wasn't used to Don gossiping but there was still a lot he didn't know about Don.

"You're right. I guess I better tell everyone soon, but I don't want to just stand up at the front of building to say it out loud to everyone," He stopped and thought about it before smiling. The perfect idea of how to announce it along with fixing the issue with him being married came to his mind, and he had to quickly get a ring soon. "Actually never mind maybe I will," He grabbed his coat and was about to head out the door before Don stopped him.

"Hold on Romeo. At least wait till after the John Deere people leave." He said with a small smile on his face and soon he was out the door heading towards the conference room. Ken quickly grabbed the file and rushed downstairs to hail a cab to bed jewelry store in town. Luckily they were clients so it wasn't hard for them to help him pick a perfect ring. It only took just a few minutes for him to walk out of the door with a small box in his pocket. He still had a little time before the meeting so he decided he would walk back to work as he began to perfectly form the plan in his head, but it depended on if they get the deal for John Deere or not.

Once he was back in the office he could feel Pete looking at him intently and whispered something to Paul. Ken tried to hide his laughter when he saw Paul just rolling his eyes and trying his best just to get away from the conversation. Luckily the meeting was about to start in just a few minutes so it was not hard for Ken to pull Paul and Pete away from the water fountain and into the conference room where they had no other choice but not to talk.

After the meeting Ken could not believe what happened. The meeting went so smoothly even Don was impressed with his work, but reminded him not to get too cocky. How could he not? He just won Sterling Cooper the biggest deal of the year, and all he could think about was celebrating. He was already planning a get together at his house that night when he remembered the ring in his pocket. At first his heart sank because he felt bad for actually forgetting about it, but with a small smile he continued to walk out of the conference room. Now the party would only be bigger because he will have more to celebrate tonight.

The smile on his lips grew when he saw the tracker sitting there by Joan's office, and he could help himself. The people of John Deere have luckily left the building, but he was happy they left a parting gift behind. It was supposed to be "inspiration" for them to create ads for them, but now it was going to be served as a theatrical piece to his new show.

He turned the engine on and knew he could hear Joan screaming no in her office, as he drove by he simply waved at her but she could not grab him fast enough. The engine was loud enough to make everyone quiet when he entered the room, and soon everyone was laughing at how childish he was acting.

This included Peggy who was standing beside Don, who just laughed at Ken's entrance. "Good luck with him," Don whispered before kissing Peggy on her cheek and retiring to his office.

Peggy blushed and laughed because she knew she was not only with the serious Ken, but also the child. The man who had to create a show, especially if he had something brag about.

"Gentlemen, and ladies you are now looking at the account holder for John Deere," He said with a huge smile on his face and the guys began to clap to congratulate him, but before they could say anything he quickly scanned the room to see Peggy sitting at her desk with a small smile on her face.

Without a second thought he drove the tractor through the isle, barely missing the desk, until he stopped right in front of hers, "and I would like to ask this wonderful woman though she may be quiet, isn't like many girls, and can definitely put you in your place when you need it, to be my wife." He could hear everyone gasp as he turned the engine off everyone was completely quiet, and he heard the woman gasp even louder when he finally kneeled in front of her holding an expensive Tiffany ring.

Peggy covered her mouth in shock because now everything seemed more real. There in front of her was the ring to prove that Ken was serious about what he was going to do. Not just for her but for the child growing inside of her. She felt herself get emotional once more and said yes loudly for everyone to hear. He quickly put on the ring, and at first no one clapped until finally his boys finally started to clap which was everyone else cue to clap too.

This only made him shake his head but kissed her cheek softly, "Sorry I could not make this more romantic."

"It was perfect Ken, I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too," He whispered and kissed her softly which only made the girls in the office go aww.

As soon as he kissed her they heard someone clapping behind them. Ken turned slowly to see Mr. Sterling standing there. The man simply patted him on the back and shook Ken's hand, "Congratulations, remind me to make sure we properly celebrate soon. Now if you don't mind moving the tractor, I don't think Don is into farming equipment." The man began to laugh when he turned to see Don standing at his door and laughing slightly to himself. Soon the two men closed the office door which lead to the rest of the office to finally walk up to the newly proclaimed couple to congratulate them.

He was then soon being pulled away by Paul and Harry who wanted to be the first to congratulate the now engaged couple. The boys of coursed congratulated Peggy too and gawked at how big the ring was.

"Jeez Ken, you get one big client and you're already showing off," Harry joked which only made everyone laugh.

"Well this is a big announcement so why not do it today," Ken shrugged his shoulders until he watched some of the girls gently pull Peggy away to look at her ring.

"So how long have you two been hiding this?" Paul asked.

"Yes Ken, Please enlighten us. How long have you been with her?" Harry stepped to the side to see Pete looking furiously at Ken. Ken's heart was beating a mile a minute and was nervous about what was going to happen next. "Hmm? What this big entrance and now the cat's got your tongue?"

"Months, we've been dating for months. We just did not want to tell anyone," Ken said with a straight face.

"You were with a stripper last week," Pete hissed as he stepped closer to Ken.

"And I wonder whose legs you were between last week hmm? And yet now she's wearing my ring on her finger? What does that say about you Pete, huh?" The high from all the excitement from today was getting to his head as Ken now felt strong enough to go against Pete. Paul and Harry tried to step in between them but it only got worse as they watched Pete grab Ken by the arm and pull him into the office. Paul and Harry rushed into the office and closed the door knowing what the fight was going to be about.

"How long have you been hiding this from me? You knew this morning and yet you didn't say anything to me?" Pete yelled.

"Of course I fucking knew. I bought the ring, and besides last I checked it was none of your business. You're a married man, or did you already forget that?"

Pete gave Ken a death glare and was soon pulling ken by the collar of his shirt and slamming him into his small bookcase, "You knew I was sleeping with her, and you were seeing her behind my back." Pete said obviously feeling outraged over what was happening. Ken however wasn't sure if he was pissed at Pete for trying to act like he cared or happy to see that he was the cause of Pete's unhappiness.

"I've been seeing her for several months, and I should have told you. I even knew she was still seeing you but since neither of us were married we agreed to keep up our little flings. I was allowed to fuck any girl who wanted it, and yet she decided to fuck you. Well that is until now, and trust me you won't lay a finger on her again."

"You Son of a Bitch," It happened so quickly that he felt like the world was happening in slow motion. Pete pulled ken and slammed him now against his drink table. He watched as his glass, and the glass bottle holding the scotch fall to the ground. Before Ken could move he felt the impact of Pete's fist against his left eye that made his head fall back and hit the wall hard, making a small dent in the wall.

Ken moved and pushed Pete off of him and swung just in time to crack his nose before finally Paul and Harry were pulling the men off of each other.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Don yelled as he walked in to see the two men still trying to get at each other. By the look on his face he already knew what was happening but he just simply looked at Ken and nodded his head. Don acted like he was disappointed but was proud that Ken was at least man enough to handle his business and apparently did a good job of it since Pete was now bleeding badly from his nose.

"He attacked me for no reason," Ken lied. He knew if he admitted the reason that would put him and Peggy in jeopardy and he couldn't afford for that to happen.

"Seriously Pete? This man is supposed to be celebrating and you attack him? I suggest you leave for the rest of the week, and by Monday you better straighten up your act," Don said as he watched Pete go from anger to shock in a matter of seconds.

He tried to open his mouth to argue but Don soon made sure he stayed quiet, "I don't want to hear it! I know we're not a normal 9-5 but we are sure as hell not a boxing rink! Now get the hell out of here!"

Pete slowly walked out and felt the room looking at him which only made him lift his head up high and walk towards the door. Not before he gave Peggy one last glance before turning on his heal and leaving.

"Damn Ken I had no idea you could throw a punch," Harry joked while patting the man on his back.

"Alright enough of this, let's all get back to work," Don said before walking towards Cooper's office with a very amused Mr. Sterling in tow.

"Well that was interesting, so are we still having a party at your house or is that out of the question." Harry asked but was soon interrupted by Joan.

"I think it's a wonderful idea. Actually we decided to do the decorating, so Peggy I'll see you downstairs?" She asked and Peggy who Ken now noticed was standing in the doorway nodded her head.

Soon everyone left the office, but before Paul left he turned around and said, "You two look happy together. I haven't seen you smile like that in a very long time. I'm really happy for you guys."

Once everyone officially left he felt Peggy jump and wrap her arms around his neck. "Ken!" She said while trying to put some ice into one of his handkerchief and made it into an ice pack. She placed it gently on his eye which only made him flinch from the cold.

"Babe its fine. I'm okay," He said softly. His secretary politely closed the door for them and he pulled her into his lap as he sat down on the couch. He groaned like a child and nuzzled her neck with a small pout on his face.

"I lied it hurts," He joked which only made Peggy laugh softly.

"Always have to act like a man when people are watching don't you?" She whispered while checking to make sure nothing was broken.

"Well you're going to be a mother soon; you have to practice on someone, right?" He said giving her a small wink.

"Wow you are something else Ken Cosgrove," She leaned in and kissed his lips softly until it slowly began to grow into something more. He pulled her more onto his lap and pulled her dress up but soon stopped himself which only made her whimper.

"Why did you stop?" She whispered.

"I realized that this would be our first time, and I'm not about to let our first time be in my office. Also, Joan is waiting for you downstairs and we both know we can't keep her waiting." He whispered as if he was scared someone could be listening at the door.

"You don't have to make it special for me, being with you makes it special enough," she whispered while kissing his neck. He moved his head to the side to give her more room but soon quickly stopped her before it got too serious.

"But I want to make it special. Please let's just wait till tonight okay? Why don't you go out with Joan and make this party amazing. Here's some money, and I'll see you tonight okay?" He said laughing and kisses her hand where the ring was now placed. He could not believe it finally happened.

"Wow already giving me money, I must be some girl," She joked while putting the money away.

Ken laughed at her obvious sarcasm and began to tickle her, "Alright Ms. Independent. I know you can easily pay for everything on your own but I don't want you too okay? Please at least let me pay for some things now that you are my fiancé."

She sighed dramatically, "I guess I can do that." Her smile grew wider as he realized she was only messing with him which made his heart flutter a little more. "Now I better go, see you at home." She said before pausing for a second at the door.

"I like how that sounds," She admitted softly.

"I do too; promise you'll say it more often?" He whispered back seriously.

"I promise," and with that she was out the door and walking downstairs to be greeted by Joan and several girls from the office.

"I'm going to go with there was not a quickly because if that was then that is sort of sad," Joan commented.

"No, nothing happened at all. He did not try anything because we did not want to keep you waiting for long and we do have a party to plan in just a few hours," Peggy simply stated knowing what she said implied more then what she actually knew, but she hoped her confidence made it believable enough. "Well aren't you a lucky girl"

Soon the girls were in a taxi and heading towards Peggy's new home which made her smile widely knowing that now she was finally happy.

Still standing on the sidewalk with a newspaper hiding his face stood Pete who heard the whole thing. He grimaced at the thought and flinched as his nose was still bloody but he could not miss the opportunity to hear what they were saying. He smiled at the thought of a party happening and knew what he was going to do. He was going to confront both of them to see what was going on because he knew something was not right, and he sure as hell was not going to give up Peggy without a fight.
