Lena was nervous. Perhaps nervous wasn't strong enough a word. Lena was metaphorically shitting enough bricks to build a house. She had never really done the long-term relationship thing before and now here she was, asking to do the long-term relationship thing forever?

Jamie had helped decorate the house and Victor was keeping Thomas occupied until it was time to surprise him. The pizzas were cooking and everyone had gathered. Lena had even given baby Deirdre a cuddle before handing her back to her mother.

"Jamie!" Lena called out. "He's supposed to be back in a few moments, come remind me this is a good idea before I change my mind!"

	Unsurprisingly, Thomas started bawling, but Lena managed to show him the ring she had gotten him. "I got me a ring too, just so you know," she laughed, and put her own ring on her finger. "Now go hug your son," she said, spinning him by his shoulders and pointing him towards Jamie. Then she jumped and went to go hug Kat and Victor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Tommy, if you keep crying, I'm gonna keep crying," Maddy laughed, grinning from ear to ear. "A+ ring choices, Lena." Jamie wrapped his dad in a tight hug, smiling into his shoulder. "I'm really happy for you guys," he said honestly. "You deserve this, both of you do. Really." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even Kat wiped a tear from her eyes, and curled closer to Vic. Theseus had released Jamie before going to hug Lena. "Congrats as well. And what he said. You guys deserve this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thomas clung to his son for probably a little too long because for ages it had just been Jamie and Thomas; a team. Now there was Lena and Theseus though, and that was wonderful. When he pulled away, he kissed his son's hair, pretty sure Jamie would never be too old for that. "I love you," he said quietly, before moving on to give Theseus a bear hug. He knew he should get that in quick before his sisters got to him and squeal-hugged him.

Lena laughed and patted Theseus' back. "Thanks, dude! You get to travel to Vienna with us soon too, lucky you!" Then she went to go hug Charlotte, grinning at Kat over her friend's shoulder. "Aww, Kat! It's going to be awesome! And you have to be a bridesmaid!"

"I love you too," Jamie said, squeezing him one last time before stepping back before his toes got stepped on.

Maddy was right behind him, grabbing her brother in a fierce hug, still tearing up a bit. "You're getting married, oh my god!" she exclaimed. "They grow up so fast, don't they, Kiddo?"

Jamie snorted. "They really do," he agreed. "Seems like only yesterday he was Captain Giraffe."

	Theseus laughed into the hug and nodded at the comment. "Yeah it'll be great. I might have to pry my boyfriend of one of the old cathedrals if he decides to go eloping with it, but I think I can take it." Kat laughed to that. "Maybe it'll help me figure out what to do for our own wedding. If my sisters wouldn't end me I'd totally elope." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lena snickered at Theseus, "I have a feeling Thomas will help you pry him off, since he hardly wants to leave his son in Europe." To Kat she said, "we should go dress shopping together! Since I doubt either of are necessarily going to go traditional, yes? It would be so much fun!" "Oh god, they're already planning," Thomas laughed as he hugged both his sisters.
