A/N: Thank you all for the kind reviews! I'm sorry that it had been a while since I had updated this story, but life kind of got in the way. But I'll be back to updating more regularly again.

Due to their unscheduled stop in Clevaland, Tony and Hank wouldn't be getting back until Sunday. They rented a U-Haul that Hank drove back, and Tony followed in his Jeep. It had been a bittersweet goodbye to everyone at Wells College, especially Dr, Graham and Candy. But at least one of his suggestions looked to be in place to coach the team, and they had a few prospects to replace him in the history department. He was feeling good about his decisionto be back home with all of his family, and with the reccomendation letter from Dr. Graham he knew he would get a good job whether it be in New York or somewhere else near home. But he'll worry about all of that after the babies were born. Right now his main focus was Angela and Samantha and the three babies they were carrying. He and Angela will get married once Angela and Mona were both feeling better, he thought to himself. He just wants to get married to her as soon as possible, just a small ceremony with their family, including Mrs. Rossini and Hank's parents, and maybe a few close friends.

"Hey, sweetheart! We're home!" Tony called out as he entered the kitchen door.

"Oh, Tony! I'm so glad that you're both home safe and sound!" Angela called out from the living room.

"Is everything okay? Are the babies okay?" he asked as he entered the room.

"Yes, honey, everything and everyone are just fine, The babies have started kicking. One of them definitely has a string foot!"

"Do I need to scold him or her? THey can't hurt their mama!"

"No, it's just an amazing feeling, knowing that they are growing strong and healthy."

"Awww, that's so great sweetheart! I'm so happy that we are back home, where we all belong."

"Oh, how did everything go with Dr. Graham? I hope he wasn't too terribly upset."

"He was a little, but he completely understands the situation. He even gave me a gift for the babies. Hank will bring it in shortly."

"What a sweet gesture! And how were the girls?"

"They all send their love, and told me to let them know when the baby shower happens. Rosie is going to look into getting them her employee discount to come out for it."

"Oh, those wonderful girls! We really were lucky to have good people around us in Iowa."

"Yes, just as we do here too. I'm truly blessed as will our babies be,"

"As am I, Tony. As am I. Can I ask you about something?"

"Anything, mi amore."

"Well, life has thrown us a few curveballs recently. But I was hoping that we could get married before I get too much farther along. I know you hoped for a bis wedding, but can it be just our family, extended family, and a few close friends?"

"Okay, this is funny, but I was thinking the same thing on the drive back! As the saying goes, great minds think alike."

"Wow! That IS funny!"

"When were you thinking?" they asked simultaneously. They both laughed.

"Well, I was thinking maybe in a few weeks when you and Mona were feeling a bit better." Tony answered.

"That sounds perfect, honey! How about the weekend before Christmas?"

"I think that sounds wonderful sweetheart. By the way, where's Mrs. R?"

"She ran to the store to pick up a few things. She set me up out here before leaving. I wonder where Hank is."

"I think he went up to let Sam know that we were back. They were gushing about missing each other when he called yesterday. I ended up going into the bathroom and let the shower AND sink water run I didn't want to hear his side of the conversation anymore."

"Ah yes, it was a little lovesick dopey here too from Samantha. I can understand how uncomfortable it must've been for you, Tony." she said as she smiled at him.

"Tony! You're home!" Carmella exclaimed as she entered the front door.

"Hey, Mrs. R. Yeah, we just got back about a bit ago. Hank went to go let Sam know we're back and..."

"I know what they must be doin'!" Carmella cooed.

"I don't want to even think about what they are doing!"

"Tony is having a hard time of accepting Samantha and Hank..."

"Stop talking about this ladies!"

"Ok, Tony. So, how was the drive back? Are you hungry? Let's get you something to eat."

"Mrs. R, I can get something in a bit. I actually have something for you that I brought back from Iowa."

"Whatdya bring for me? You didn't have to do anything!"

"I have it out in the car. I'll be right back." Tony stated as he headed out the door.

"So Angela, how are you doing? Can I get you anything?"

"I'm okay right now, Mrs. Rossini. I am so grateful for all of your help the past several days. I've really enjoyed our conversations. It's truly been great getting to know more about you and your history, and especially about Marie. I'm glad to know more about her too. Tony doesn't talk much about her outside of Samantha."

"I don't talk about who?"

"Oh, hey honey, you're back."

"So who don't I talk about?"

"Tony, don't be a mench. We had some good conversations about the old days, so I shared some stories about you and Marie."

"Oh."

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Angela asked.

"Nothin', honey."

"Ok, Tony, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, Mrs. R. It's alright. I guess I just didn't think that you'd open up that chapter while I was gone."

"Tony, she didn't. I asked. And Samantha wanted to know some of yours and Marie's history too. And I know it's hard for you talk about that time in your life, so Mrs. Rossini here was happy to share."

"I see. So it was Samantha wanting to know? Why wouldn't she ask me?"

"Tony, I think it just brought up a lot of emotions in her with being pregnant and wanting to know about the woman who gave birth to her. It had nothing to do with going around you or anything. Mrs. Rossini, Mother, and I were talking about when we had given birth, and it just came up."

"Yeah Dad, I didn't want you to feel bad. Like Mom said, I just wanted to know more about my first mom, Marie." Sam said as she entered the room.

"Oh Sammi, I guess I never thought not talking about her would be hard for you."

"Dad, I just feel like if I bring her up that it would hurt you. And since Mrs. R was here, I figured it'd be a good opportunity to learn more about her, and you too from that time."

"Sweetheart, you can ask me anything. I'll do my best to fill in any questions you have."

"Thanks, Dad. But can we talk more later? I have another lecture to attend and I need to leave in a few minutes."

"Sure, honey."

"Thanks. I'm glad that you and Hank made it back safely! Love you Dad!"

"Love you too, Sam."
