She blushed. "It doesn't have to be in Latin...or in a church for that matter. There's always City Hall, and--you know what, never mind. It's a crazy idea, anyway." She rolled over onto her side, back to him.

"It's not crazy," he said softly. "It's just...a big step, that's all. I mean...look at Risk and Macbeth! They've lived together for years, and they're still not married!" Okay, maybe not the best example, since the exact nature of their relationship still baffled him, and he was a goddamn detective.

She sighed, hugging her pillow, keeping her back to him. "We are not Risk and Macbeth. Risk and Macbeth can do whatever they want. And how is getting married any bigger a step than moving in together?"

"I dunno, it's just..." His instinct was to shrug it off, keeping the reasons to himself, but he pushed that instinct away. If there was anything Maggie deserved from this relationship after the way it first began, it was honesty. "Well, it's forever, for one thing. And I want that, believe me, it's just...are you sure you want that? Really sure?"

She did roll over at that, laying on her back to look up at him. She almost scoffed, blinking up at him with big eyes. "Sebastian, would I even be here right now if I didn't? After everything, you still question whether or not I want to be with you?"

He sighed. He knew full well it was stupid. "I'm really, really bad at accepting good things, okay? And being with you for the rest of my life would be the best thing in the world, so, uh...it's taken some time." Six years, to be exact. "And also..." He took a deep breath. "You're gonna want kids." It wasn't a question.

She knew that their biggest point of contention, even beyond marriage, was her desire to be a mother, and his desire to not to be a father.
She bit her lip, very afraid she might start crying, so she turned her face away from him. "You know I do."

He put a hand on her arm. "It's not like I blame you, Maggie. You'd be an amazing mother." Unfortunately, that was only half of the equation.

She moved to sit up, looking at him. "But don't you get it, Sebastian? I want to be the mother of your children! Yours, not anybody else's. I want it to be us, together, as a family."

"I know," he admitted, looking her in the eye and rubbing her shoulder gently. "And it's not that I don't want to, Mag. I'm just afraid I'll fuck it up somehow." God knew he had a history of fucking things up. "And you can't do that with kids...you can't do things wrong...or everything turns out...wrong."

"Baby, nobody's perfect. No parent gets it right all the time. And I know your parents weren't exactly prime examples, but you are not your father!" She put her hand to his cheek, looking up at him. "You love me, Sebastian. You'd love our children. That's half the battle."

He found himself slowly smiling at her tone of voice and the expression on her face. "Sometimes I forget how incredibly determined you are." He kissed her lightly, eyes traveling down to her belly as a rather shocking realization hit him. "You know, there's a chance it might be too late to argue with you..."

She blinked at him, confused. "What are you talking about?" She followed his gaze, then looked back up at him, clueless.

"We didn't...I mean, I wasn't exactly...careful...earlier..."

She blinked again, then her eyes went wide as it dawned on her. She closed her eyes, letting out a breath. "You didn't pull out..." She opened her eyes again, biting her lip. "Would it--would it be really awful if I...ya know...ended up pregnant..?"
