Maria followed the Captain to his study, her heart fluttering.  She had not gotten over the enthrallment of the kiss.  Was this proper?  Was it even legal?  She followed him nonetheless, walking quickly to keep up to his pace.

He shut the door behind them when they reached the room.  It was warm inside and another fire was going in the fireplace. 

"Please, have a seat," he said to her, motioning towards a chair across from his desk.  She sat down hesitantly.

"Captain…" she said, her voice unsteady and unsure.  He was standing with his back to her.

He turned around when she called his name holding a box of chocolates.

"Have one," he offered.  She took a chocolate though she was not at all hungry and looked at it in her hand before speaking up again.

"I don't know if this is right," she said finally.

"I know," he said sadly, "It's probably not.  It's just… being with you makes me feel so… happy, so free."  She smiled at him.

"I know," she said softly, "I feel the same way around you.  But I don't know how the children would feel, how they would take it if we…" she stopped suddenly.  He was watching her intently.

"Maria," he began his voice soft and kind, "I can't live without you.  You right all my wrongs, you make my life complete. Is there any way I could convince you to stay permanently?"

"Permanently?" she asked her voice unsure.  She didn't know how she felt about being in permanent servitude.

"As my wife," he finished unsurely.  She looked at him and stood up,

"I-" He closed the gap between them and took her face in his hands,

"Maria, is there any way, I could convince you to agree to marry me?" he asked, leaning his head down to meet hers.  He caressed her lips with is own, he hugged her close to him and felt her breath on his neck as he kissed her ears and her cheeks.  She was not objecting, so he continued, kissing down her neck making a trail with his soft expressions of love.

"Yes," she whispered as she caught her breath.  She cupped his face in her hands and pulled his mouth towards hers, exploring with her tongue in places she had never been before, "yes," she said again, "yes, yes, yes."  The Captain smiled against her skin and she leant her head against his strong chest.

"I guess the only thing left to do is to inform-"

"The children," they finished in unison and Maria chuckled softly.  Georg gave her one last kiss on the mouth before wrapping his arm around her waist and leading her on a stroll of the garden where they stayed, anticipating the children's arrival.

The End.
