"They are the McLeods and the Lord's. I've never seen them in the Jacuzzi. Please continue. Do you really want to marry me?"
"Yes, absolutely, but don't feel under pressure."
"I won't. What do you think about announcing our engagement soon and setting a wedding date a year out, or sooner if I become pregnant? However I wouldn't mind showing a fat belly in my wedding dress."
"It could embarrass our child later in life if she is shy."
"She?"
"He or she."
"So it's twins now?"
Gary snorted and told Mollie not to divert.
"Divert. I was waiting for you to comment and probably maul my suggestions."
"Maul? You knew in your superior way that I would accept your suggestions without criticisms and without making any attempt to change them because it's so damn difficult to change near-perfection."
"Whatever, though it would be lovely for me to hear you sound a little excited and comment about a possible timetable."
"My sweet, darling Mollie O'Rourke. Will you kindly consider marrying me? If you accept I suggest an engagement very soon and marriage within twelve months from now, the sooner the happier I'll be."
"Oh yes oh yes dear one. Please take me in your arms and seal our vow to wed with a kiss. Gary, is that exciting and positive enough for you?"
"Yes Mollie, so stripped of the flowery verbosity I take that as a yes?"
"Yes darling."
Mollie waited until Gary was asleep, half-hanging out of the bed and looking happy. She picked up her phone.
"Mollie," Elaine groaned sleepily.
In the background Mollie heard Stephen complain, "Who the fuck is calling at 2:00 a.m.?
"Hello mother-in-law-to-be."
"Mollie!" Elaine yelled. "Oh Stephen, there is to be a wedding!"
THE END

Anonymousover 7 years agoThere are so many different issues left dangling you need to write a multi-page Eulogy to tie the ribbons on them, i.e.
1. The wedding - and all the issues with Mollies brothers, like Molly sees problems with Clem - she behind the scenes seeks to hire security to watch him all the time he is town - but Stephen confronts her (and after hearing Elaine's assessment) tells Molly to just enjoy her wedding - Stephen has it all covered, covertly. Clem gets in serious trouble with the Kings (attempted extortion with Stephen's old flame) - they are swiftly whisked away. Gary gets wind of Clem seeking revenge after getting out of prison and Gary insures Clem never causes the Kings any future problems - only Stephen knows and sees a new side to Gary he never knew possible, approvingly.
2. The coming of the twins - how does that fit into the Law firm having toddlers running around on the 5th floor? GGrandma & Grandma & God-parents (the Porters) providing free joyous baby sitting. Grandpa is smitten with his grandkids and enjoys their surprise office visits.
3. GGrandma retired when the twins are born, then the King & King succession? Which way will Molly go, a work from home mom or office mom with office nursery? Gary being a office dad with his office nursery. Rifts among partners forgetting this law firm is a dictatorship not a full democracy. And Maureen's tentacles and tenacity to protect the family/firms legacy, secretly. Maureen has files on everyone in the firm.
4. Molly & Gary buy and setup a 20acre hobby-ranch w/horses. Molly has a home office and 5th floor office. The next (and last) set of twins arrive all are elated but Molly knowing another 3yrs of diapers and pushing her Sr Partnership out - decisions must be made, how to execute or not, advice/regrets from Maureen but family is #1. Porters dote on the 4-kids (they never had) and setup secret trust funds for each, leaving Gary& Molly their estate - which allows Molly to buy her old family ranch becoming a distant landlord/business owner.
You have so many things to tie up and tangents to explore. The ending was quaint but a step off a cliff for such a long drawn out story to end so abruptly. KRD
Anonymousalmost 11 years agoBut your writing felt like it was from the 1890's, stilted, your continuing grammatical errors detracted from the flow and you managed to make Mollie into one of the most coldly calculating, manipulative women that it's been my misfortune to read about. She treats Gary like a wayward child, someone to be lead around by the nose and shown how to behave. Everything she does is prefaced by thoughts on how to advance herself. She barely gets hired before breaking one agreement to keep her love life separate from her business life by kissing Gary in the office. I could go on and on but you and the readers know all that I'm referring to. WHAT A BITCH!
Redbeakover 12 years agoGary is possibly the wettest character you have ever imagined. It is inconceivable that Mollie would tolerate a long-term relationship with him. This, and the impossibly redneck family in Montana, are major weaknesses in the story.
Anonymousover 12 years agothe story was nice but sometimes i was at a loss and things seemed to progress too fast. the two things i disliked was how easily the cheating spouses and Gart cheating was overlooked. I also disliked how Mollie's family reconciled so easily without address the problems correctly. Gary admitted to cheated with 3 different women and then propse marriage and having children in the same night.
Anonymousabout 13 years agoIt's a great story, very enjoyable. But spoiled to a degree by lack of proof-reading.
You're a good writer. I've enjoyed most of your stories
Best wishes. JB
