Joanne,
You're beautiful. I know that it may sound weird coming from me, but honey, you needed to hear that. Sometimes it seems like you don't think you deserve Maureen, but you really really do. Trust me. You're so smart too, don't let that girl take advantage of you. And the only reason she messes around is because she doesn't think she deserves you. I also know that you think the rest of the group completely hates you, but it's just not true. Roger just doesn't understand you or your job. Mark and you are obviously good friends, and Collins really respects you. I love you, you know that. And even though it may seem like Mimi dislikes you, that girl has nothing but good things to say about you. Really Joanne, you hold us together. And you keep that romance of yours. Maureen really does love you. And do me a favor honey? Make sure Collins keeps teaching, I know he's going to want to quit, so make sure he doesn't.
Angel
"She wrote this?"
Joanne nodded, "Yeah. And you know what? She was right. She knew we were perfect together."
Maureen smiled, fingering the diamond ring on her finger. "She had such faith in love."
Joanne looked into her wife's eyes, and said, "I'm glad I listened to her." Joanne put her hand on Maureen's stomach.
"Sometimes I can't believe it."
"What?" Joanne asked.
"That it's been two years. And that you married me. Just think, in a few months, we'll have a baby too. A little boy to call our own," Maureen put her hand on top of Joanne's.
Then she carefully folded the letter back up and slid it back into the pink envelope.
