"Oh, so Quinn's getting ready," Zoe teased.

Quinn smiled shyly, while Cordy said, "You should plan sooner if you're sure, Quinn. Don't hesitate."

"Yeah, I know."

On the other hand, Zoe felt that they had to drink something to make it a proper dinner.

"Since we're not boozing given our unique circumstances, let's stick to water. Here's to our…" She paused for a moment before continuing. "Smooth delivery? Though there's no telling when Quinn will get down to business!"

"Then let's drink to our wishes coming true," Cordy offered.

"You're ready for the cultured one, Cordy," Zoe giggled. "May our wishes come true, and may we stay as besties for life, even until our teeth fall off!"

Cordy and Quinn raised their glasses, genuinely feeling fortunate that they could meet such loyal friends they share so much in common with.

The dinner lasted for quite a while, and the men boozed much longer than that.

Cordy, Zoe, and Quinn left the table, heading to the living room to watch TV and c

    Should he not be talking to Jay instead?!"Don't laugh at me," Sam said."Then tell me what it is." Zoe replied.Sam did not hesitate to say it right then, "I want to propose to Quinn."Zoe was left staring at him, her jaw dropped.What was that? Sam wanted to propose to Quinn?! Was the sun rising from the west?!Still, her reaction left Sam annoyed. "Could you not react like that? Why can't I propose to her?"Zoe promptly closed her mouth and asked, "Are you serious?""Isn't it obvious?""Are you really going to settle down with Quinn?""Really.""You're not going to mess around with other women?" Zoe asked, skeptical."Nope.""Promise me.""How?!""Though so. Men are all cheaters and liars," Zoe snorted—making it clear that whatever he said was pointless.Sam inhaled deeply right then and mustered his courage to finally say, "I've never had a woman after getting out of jail.""What?""To be precise, I never had a woman ever since I accidentally did it with Quinn."

    After Sam left, Zoe was about to head to the washroom to bring Jay a wet towel when the man suddenly sat up on bed."Zoe," he called out."You're up? Does it hurt? You drank a lot," Zoe asked in concern."Nope. I was never drunk," Jay replied.Zoe gaped. "Really?""Of course.""Then you…""Yeah," Jay admitted."You're ruthless, you know that? It's your brother from another mother out there.""Who's going to take care of you if I'm drunk?" Jay said as if it was only natural. "Your belly is swelling, y'know."Zoe stroked her own stomach just then, feeling touched. "You did that for me?""Why else would I do it?"Feeling warm in her heart, Zoe said, "Once I squeeze this one out, I'll get properly drunk with your friends."Jay was left speechless.-Sam and Bob were drinking happily in the living room.Quinn did not hurry them and killed time watching TV on the couch.With Cordy leaving and Zoe taking care of Jay, she had no idea how long Sam and Bob were drinking.

    The more Bob drank, the more he sensed that something was wrong.When did those three get so bad with alcohol? Were they really cutting down on their drinking so much?Feeling tipsy, he rose to his feet. Though he was wobbling a little, he was able to get home on his own since he was not fully drunk.He took a couple steps and hesitated for a moment before leaving directly—he should have stopped imposing on Zoe long ago.He had no idea if he had gotten over her, but one way or another, it no longer hurt now that he got numb to it.Wobbling away, he got a cab and left.When he returned home, he took a bath and got into bed…and suddenly sat up just as he was about to close his eyes! Wait one goddamn moment! What was the deal with those three?! Was being married really all that awesome anyway, leaving in pairs right under his nose…-The next day, Sam, Zoe, and Cordy formed a secret chat group.Zoe, being as excitable as she usually was, went to work immediately and spammed t

    Sam returned to his room once he took his phone, not offering any explanation.Quinn was left staring as he left miserably—they had just made up for a couple days, and Sam had already lost interest?!She sat alone in the living room, picking up her phone and texted Zoe and Cordy.[Are you two busy?]It took Cordy a long while to reply. [Not really. What's up, Quinn?]Quinn was left staring at her phone, unsure what to say.How? Things were just fine with Sam last night but were back on square one today.Cordy pressed: [Quinn?] Zoe showed up too. [What's up, Quinn?]Quinn hesitated for a moment but eventually typed: [I think Sam's cheating on me again.]Zoe sent a vomiting emoji, while Cordy sent a question mark.Quinn elaborated: [I was staying home with Sam today to improve our relationship, but he's been on his phone the whole day, even during lunch. Not only is he laughing from time to time, but he snapped at me when I picked up his phone—he's obviously worried that I'd

    Sam spared a glance at first before turning around to her again.His heart was suddenly pumping—Quinn never usually dressed like that?!Was this how it felt to be in love?!Still, as Sam spaced out a little, Quinn asked, "No good?"She knew such a soft feminine dress did not suit her and realized she had been tricked by Zoe's eccentricism."I'll get changed… Oh!"Quinn gasped in surprise as Sam had suddenly pulled her into his arms.She was left wondering what had gotten him, and all she could feel was his heart pumping in his steellike chest."What's wrong, Sam?" she asked gingerly.He released her, and as their eyes met, he said, "Just can't help it.""What… Mmph."In an instant, the question turned to a statement as things escalated quickly.Sam was kissing her repeatedly.It was already so difficult for him to restrain himself, and she had to seduce him!In fact, the kissing lasted so long Quinn was protesting. "Weren't we going to watch a movie?"Sam actually rather

    Sam was beaming at Quinn's words.He never liked taking photos and certainly not selfies with filters. And yet, he was flashing a goofy smile as he stared into Quinn's camera.After that, they headed into one of the theater halls, and Quinn posted the selfie before the movie played without any captions.Bob commented in an instant: [Whoa, am I seeing things?! Is that really Sam or a poodle?!]Jay and John both liked the post, while Zoe and Cordy commented too.Zoe: [@Cordy A movie? Without inviting me? Are we really sisters?!] Zoe: [@Sam You look like a poodle with that smile.]Cordy: [What movie is it? Is it good?]Some colleagues from Saunderia liked it too, leaving Quinn stunned by the number of unread notifications.She rarely posted on social media, aside from the occasional epiphany and motivational quotes.And now, she actually received so many comments from updating her social page on her social life.She was going to reply when Sam turned toward her, appearing a l

    Sam suddenly said mysteriously, "I'm taking you someplace nice. I've never brought anyone there aside from my friends—it's a place you won't forget."Quinn was actually hopeful then—Sam might just surprise her, and the movie might just be a mishap.Eventually, they arrived at a quiet port, and Sam alighted with Quinn after parking her car.The pavement was uneven and Quinn could not walk properly in her heels, but she decided to bear with it for the sake of good food.There was no restaurant in sight even as they reached a pier, and Quinn eventually found Sam beckoning to her from a boat—not the luxury type playboy types hung out in, but a crude one."Are we dining at sea?"Quinn could admit that she was hopeful, but Sam never answered as he took her hand and got onboard.The boat ride was exceedingly bumpy, and Quinn was certainly scared since she could not swim. "Woo hoo!"As she clenched on the handrail while waves splashed against the boat, Sam was whooping repeatedly in

    "Why aren't you eating?" Sam asked Quinn.She picked up a crab and started eating—it tasted better than what was offered in most restaurants, but it was not worth it for the hassle of traveling all the way there."Is it good?" Sam asked expectantly"Yeah." Quinn nodded with a smile."I knew you'd like it," Sam said as he started eating as well. "Bob and I often come here, while Jay and John drop by a lot less since they're busy men.""Yeah." Quinn nodded."A little beer?" Sam asked, suddenly feeling like it."I'm on my period," Quinn reminded him, somehow not upset that he was being careless.One simply has no complaints when they have no expectations."Oh, right." Sam came to his senses just then. "What would you like to drink?""Just water." Sam had the waiter bring them water and beer, while Quinn watched him drink and knowing that she would be the one driving. Whatever.She refrained from telling him—as long as it pleased him.After all, there would not be happiness

    Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

    "What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

    "I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

    Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

    However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

    Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

    The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

    At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

    As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
