This was just going to be a one shot but then I decided to write more. Originally this was title Thanksgiving Surprise but now it will be It's a Wonderful life and will follow Don and Robin as they settle down together. More chapters will follow soon.
Summery: Don gets a surprise on Thanksgiving.

Don stood with his arms around Robin on the balcony in Don's apartment. It was Thanksgiving night, and they had just gotten back to the apartment after spending the afternoon with Don's family at the Craftsman. He had been looking forward to this moment all day.
"Today was fun, but I'm glad to be home with you, alone." Don spoke quietly into Robin's ear. "Robin, I want you, I need you, and I want and need to be with you forever." Don slowly pulled away and got down on one knee and opened a small velvet box, "Will you marry me, Robin?"
Robin smiled in surprise, she had known Don was up to something but she hadn't been sure as to what. "Yes, I would love to marry you Don!"
Don slide the diamond engagement ring onto her finger as he stood, then pulled her in for a kiss. They pulled apart for air several moments later. "I love you." Don whispered to her as he nibbled her ear lobe.
"I love you too." Robin stated as she ran a hand through his unruly hair and pressed a gentle kiss on his neck. Robin then pulled away slightly, pressed a kiss to his lips, "I'll be right back."
Don stood on the balcony overlooking the city for a couple of minutes before Robin returned and handed him a small box. "For you." Robin stated simply.
Don removed the cover, his brow knotted in confusion, as he studied the object in the box.
"Is this what I think it is?" He asked as a look of realization spread over his face.
Robin nodded with a huge grin on her face, "I'm pregnant. You're gonna be a daddy Don!"
Don was grinning from ear to ear, the rare million watt smile that made his eyes crinkle and could light up an entire room. "That's wonderful Robin!" He pulled her into a tight kiss and twirled her around. Don set her down put his arms around her waist and kissed her. He pulled away after a moment and asked, "When are we due?"
"Sometime in late June or early July, by my calculations; I have an appointment with my OB/GYN Monday morning." She was beaming with delight at Don's reaction to the news.
A few hours later they were lying in bed together, Robin rested her head on Don's shoulder, he had one arm around her and his other hand resting on her stomach. He heard her sigh in contentment as she snuggled closer.
He planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Thank you for the most wonderful Thanksgiving ever, Robin."
