"I feel like no words could ever express how much I love you. I'm going to try another language." Wyatt then said something beautiful in Italian while Sam gazed at him, completely in love. Wyatt then smiled at him. "How does that sound?"
"Nice," Sam said. He didn't know what it meant, but it made his toes curl.
Wyatt followed that up with German, French and Spanish.
"You speak all those languages?" Sam asked while the words flowed right into his heard even if he didn't understand them.
"Some better than others, but I might need to learn all of them to I tell you how much I love you," Wyatt told him. He cupped the back of Sam's head and kissed him. Sam was sure that they were still kissing as he fell asleep.

They woke up entwined together, and Wyatt never wanted to move. It felt too good, but then Sam stirred and Wyatt had to kiss him. Sliding down his body he sucked him off while thinking how he would start every morning like that forever.
Satisfied and happy, Wyatt was prepared to laze in bed for a while, but Sam wasn't having it. It was so early and lying naked together felt so nice, but Sam was out of bed before Wyatt could stop him.
He let out a disappointed groan. "You're getting up?"
"Who can sleep?" Sam asked, and Wyatt had an answer for him.
"Me?" But he knew that wasn't going to fly.
"Let's make breakfast after I shower," Sam said while picking up his clothes and grabbing a towel.
"We still have the cinnamon buns from yesterday," Wyatt said, still hoping to get out of any major cooking.
"This is no time to be lazy. You still have a lot to learn," Sam told him from the bathroom door.
The dogs were outside. The kids were sitting on the porch in their pajamas watching them. The coffee was on, and Sam and Wyatt were both in the kitchen. Under Sam's tutelage, Wyatt was mixing up some pancake batter. Looking over at Sam, he saw him frowning at his work.
"You're a tyrant, you know," Wyatt informed him. "But I do want to cook for you. I want to impress you in every way I can."
"I love you and I already said yes to you. You don't need to impress me," Sam said but he let Wyatt have a small smile.
Wyatt turned away from the pancake batter and wrapped his arms around Sam so he could gaze at the man he was going to marry. "I love you so much and I need to find every way I can to show it."
"Stop it or you'll make me cry again," Sam warned him, but Wyatt didn't let up. "Before coming here, I had misgivings about moving to a place like this. But as soon as I laid eyes on you, I knew I was right where I should be. I was meant to come here and love you forever."
Sam leaned into him for a soft kiss, but then they heard the boys yelling at the dogs not to eat the birds. It wasn't like Barney and Brownie had any chance of catching them. But their noise made Sam look outside thoughtfully.
"Do you think the boys will be OK with us getting married?" he asked.
"Of course they will, more than OK. They're rooting for us." Wyatt was now looking out there too while the boys jumped to warn the birds to fly away. "We can't replace what they lost, but we can give them a new family."
Wyatt didn't wait until breakfast was served, he told the boys their news as soon as they came in. "Sam and I are getting married. We're going to have a wedding under the peach trees on the hill," he announced.
"And then Sam is always going to be with us, right?" Riley asked, starting to jump in place with barely contained excitement.
"Yes, that's right, Ry," Wyatt told him and watched him raise his arms to cheer.
"That's good because when Sam is here, the house is happy!" Riley exclaimed.
"The house?" Sam said while the dogs looked up at them curiously.
"Yes. The whole house and everybody is happy," Riley said. He was bubbling over with happiness, so beside himself, he didn't know how to express it. He looked ready to boil over. He finally just did a crazy little, happy dance that made Barney bark at him.
At first glance DJ was more subdued, but on closer look, his lower lip was quivering. He started gulping air and trying not to cry.
"Hey, are you OK?" Sam asked him and took his hand. Wyatt took his other hand and then tears started flowing.
