Embracing the Messy

Four Months Later...

Mary and Marshall walked into the office, both heading straight to their desks with small smiles on their face. Eleanor and Stan walked over, standing in front of their desks, staring at them.

"Well?" Eleanor looked ready to bust at the seams, making Mary chuckle.

"Well what? Geez Eleanor, rude much...Good Morning to you too." Mary kept a straight face, while Marshall snickered.

"Dammit Mary, you know what?" This time it was Stan, causing both Mary and Marshall to laugh.

"You do realize, you are just enticing them to torment you more." Bobby was laughing, giving a wink to Mary.

"See, I knew there was a reason I liked you." Mary just smiled at him.

"It's a girl." Marshall was grinning as he told them.

"Oh lord, a mini Mary." Eleanor laughed, while Mary just smiled proudly.

"Congratulations, both of you." Stan was thrilled.


That night, Mary and Marshall celebrated by shopping, normally a task they both hated, but were anxious to pick up stuff now that they knew it was a girl. They pulled into their driveway with a car load of stuff, which of course Mary was forbidden to bring inside. At this point, she didn't argue, just sat and watched Marshall bust his ass bringing everything in. He brought the last of it, into the would be nursery with Mary walking in behind him.

"You do realize, we will never allow my mother alone with her?" Mary wrapped her arms around him.

Marshall laughed. "You actually think, you have to tell me that? I don't even want Brandi to watch her."

Now Mary was laughing. "Yeah, squish can be flighty." She looked up at him and smiled. "You are in for a handful."

"Hey now, I handle you just fine." He smirked and Mary snorted.

"I LET you handle me, cowboy. Our daughter will be a handful, unless your genes balance her out."

"One can hope..." He whispered and she swatted at him.

"I am not looking forward to being kept out of the field." She pouted and he kissed her.

"I know, but it's not for long." He knew she was going to go stir crazy.

"At least, I know you will be safe with Bobby." Marshall grinned, loving that she let Bobby into their little group. "Jinx is asking again, about seeing James."

Marshall looked at her, he was angry her mom wouldn't leave it alone. "I really don't see what good it will do her. Frankly, I am tired of her bringing this up to you. She needs to let it go or at minimum, not talk to you about it."

"My white knight..." Mary laughed. "I don't even think she realizes it won't be a private discussion. They will record and observe the whole thing. I don't think she would care though, she is bound and determined to see him."

"Fine. I will take her on one condition, no more talking to you about this." Mary gave him a look of do you know my mother. "Nope, I am serious. I will arrest her if I have to, but she will not pull you into this shit now. Her and I will have a chat. She will agree or for one she will never see her granddaughter."

"Wow, you are that pissed." She grinned and kissed him, then proceeded to dig into the bags he brought in.

Marshall couldn't help his anger. His thoughts wondered as he watched Mary picking through their purchases. 'Her mother had no idea, what that man put Mary through. She is a selfish...god that woman pisses me off. Mary hasn't seen him since she shot him in Vegas. He was convicted last month and put in a supermax prison, along with many of his associates. Hell they were still tracking people down and making arrests. I won't have her sucked back into that mess.' He looked at the time, it was well past eight and neither had eaten. "Hungry?"

"Always, I am eating for two."

"What are you craving?"

"God, you know me too well...Chinese?"

"Done." He kissed her head and went off to order the food. Mary stood up, looking around the room, envisioning what it would look like when completed. She brought a protective hand on her stomach and smiled. "You are gorgeous." She looked over at him smiling.

"You're biased."

"Yep and lucky...I love you Mary." He walked over, his arms around her kissing her deeply.

"Love you too Marshall. You are the best thing to ever happen to me." She smiled then rolled her eyes, realizing what she said. "Dammit! You turned me into a sap."

"I knew I could corrupt you eventually." They both laughed.

"I was just embracing the messy as you requested." He grinned, kissing her till they were out of breath. "Insatiable as always..."
