"Did we really have to leave the apartment during the worst snowstorm in recent history?" Eddie mumbled around her chattering teeth.

Jamie squinted through the windshield, "Did you want to be stuck in a frozen apartment because your heater is unreliable?"

"Noooo," Eddie sighed. "But, it's cold! And we might be stuck at your dad's place for a while."

Jamie smirked, "Come on, Eddie. You know hanging out with my dad while Pops makes us eat soup is gonna be the highlight of your weekend."

Eddie wrinkled her nose. She did love Jamie's family as if they were her own, but the promise of the city being shut down for at least the weekend, leaving her and Jamie locked indoors alone was also super tempting.

"Fine, but just so you know, I'm only there for Henry's soup," she laughed, wanting to reach out and hold his hand, but she knew he had to keep both hands on the wheel.

Jamie laughed, "Understood."

"Quick, come in, come in," Henry ushered the couple into the warmth of the house. They were both shivering and covered in snow.

Slowly, due to numb fingers, Eddie and Jamie peeled off their soaked layers.

"I guess it's still snowing, huh?" Henry laughed, taking their scarves and hats to put in the bathtub with everyone else's wet outerwear.

Eddie just bobbled her head, hopping on one foot as she tried to get her boots off. Jamie eventually took pity on her and said, "Grab my shoulders, I'll pull the boot off."

Eddie grinned gratefully and grabbed his shoulders. To Henry, she said, "I really hope that's hot chocolate I'm smelling."

"With homemade whipped cream," Henry winked, laughing loudly as Eddie darted past both of them into the kitchen.

"Hurricane Eddie incoming!" Jamie shouted after her.

He helped Henry bring their winter gear into the bathroom before heading into the kitchen.

The adults in his family and Nicki were all sitting around the table and leaning against the counters.

"Where are the boys?" Jamie asked, accepting a mug of hot chocolate from Linda, "Thanks."

Danny grinned, "Plotting their shovelling route for when the snow stops."

"My little entrepreneurs," Linda muttered affectionately.

Jamie settled against the counter and looped one are around Eddie's shoulder. She cuddled close to him.

"They're going to make a fortune," Erin said. "The snow's already piling up out there."

"Speaking of fortune," Nicki grinned, "I think today's the perfect day for a Reagan family Monopoly tournament."

Frank shook his head, "Nicki, you know what happened the last time we played Monopoly as a family."

"I still have the scar," Danny winced.

Eddie's eyebrows shot up, "I don't know what happened. Someone tell me! This story feels like a good one."

Jamie and Erin grinned at each other and answered her simultaneously, "It was."

"Well?" Eddie sipped at her hot chocolate, silently urging them to tell the story.

Henry started, "It was what? Three years ago?"

Nicki nodded, "Yep. It was right after I started college."

"Well, we started a family game," Henry continued, "And Danny here got too competitive."

Danny interjected, "Linda started it!"

"I did not!" his wife protested, "You provoked me!"

"So you threw a Monopoly piece at my head?" Danny retorted, incredulous.

Eddie's jaw dropped. She couldn't imagine Linda throwing anything at Danny.

Linda wrinkled her nose, sheepish, "in retrospect, that wasn't my best moment."

Erin, Jamie, and Nicki cracked up as Danny rolled his eyes and said, "You think?"

Eddie smiled when Danny leaned over to kiss Linda's cheek.

"So no Monopoly then," Eddie said, wrapping her hands around her cooling mug. "I could go for a movie marathon."

Frank looked out the window, and seeing that the snow was still falling fast, he agreed. "Movies could be a nice way to pass the time."

The group gathered up their drinks, leaving Nicki in the kitchen to pop a few bags of popcorn, and headed for the den.

Eddie found herself falling asleep after the second Star Wars movie. The house was so warm and being cuddled on Jamie's lap in the armchair provided the perfect conditions for a nap.

The rest of the Reagans were all in various states of consciousness too. Henry was long passed out; he hadn't even lasted to see Luke and Han save Leia. Frank was in the kitchen, on the phone with Garrett - an emergency, he'd said.

Sean and Jack had wandered down during the first movie, sat for a bit, and then went out into the backyard. Nicki was texting her boyfriend, Tom, a cop she'd met through a friend. Erin was trying to snoop on the messages, while looking like she was paying attention to the movie.

Linda and Danny were curled together on the love seat. Danny whispered something to Linda and she grinned widely, "Really?"

"Mmhm," Danny replied, casting a quick glance at his younger brother and his girlfriend.

Eddie absently wondered what Danny was talking about, but then Jamie's thumb brushed against the skin on her hip where her sweater had ridden up and she was suitably distracted. She curled into him, one hand rubbing at his neck.

Jamie made a happy noise as she rubbed at a particularly tight muscle and Eddie giggled.

"I'm bored," he whispered. "Let's go for a walk."

He tangled his fingers with Eddie's and shifted so she could get to her feet.

"But it's cold and snowing out," Eddie protested as Jamie dragged her to the back door. Her socked feet slid on the hardwood, helping Jamie and hindering Eddie's efforts to stay inside.

"It's not bad," Jamie laughed. "Plus, it looks really nice. I'll let you hit me with a snowball if you get too cold."

Eddie stopped resisting and looked at him with an eyebrow raised, "Promise not to duck out of the way?"

Jamie let go of her hand and held up three fingers in a Boy Scout salute, "Scout's Honor."

Eddie nodded, happy with his promise, "Okay, we can go for a walk." She, still slightly unhappily, gathered her winter gear and bundled up. Jamie laughed when she sat on the floor to pull on her boots.

"You look like a toddler," he teased.

"Shut up," Eddie stuck her tongue out at him and kicked at his ankle with her foot.

"It's been nice hanging out with your family," Eddie said, holding tightly to Jamie's hand so she wouldn't get lost in the storm.

Jamie hummed distractedly. Eddie stopped in the snow and turned to face him, "What's going on? You're the one who wanted to go on a walk and now you're all weird and distracted."

Jamie sucked in a deep breath, hard because of the cold temperatures, "I'm sorry, Eddie. I just…"

He broke off and dropped to one knee, the snow piling up around him. Eddie's eyes went wide and she clapped her gloved hands over her mouth, "Oh my god!"

Jamie grinned up at her, his cheeks bright pink from the cold and the excitement. He wrestled the ring box out of his pocket and popped it open, revealing his mom's engagement ring.

"You're the most annoying person I've ever met, Eddie Janko," he started with a smile. "But, god, I love you so much. I never thought I'd want to spend my entire life with you when I first met you, but now? I can't imagine my life without you."

Eddie's eyes welled with tears and she sniffled a little, bobbling her head up and down, but staying quiet because she wanted to hear Jamie's proposal.

"You fit in so amazingly well with my family, I've never dated a girl that likes them more than she likes me," he laughed and Eddie grinned widely.

"Not true," she whispered. "I like you only a little bit more than I like your family."

"Still," Jamie continued, "You're my missing piece, the part that fits in like you were supposed to be here all along. Will you marry me?"

Eddie nodded, tears slipping down her cheeks, "Yes! Oh my god! Yes! Jamie…I love you!"

Snow had gathered on top of the ring, melting a little as Jamie pulled it form the box. Eddie happily tugged her left glove off and held out her hand. Jamie slid the ring onto her ring finger.

It was a perfect fit.

Eddie threw herself into his arms and kissed Jamie passionately, still crying a little. Jamie's hands tightened around her back and they almost lost their balance.

When the newly engaged couple pulled away, Eddie grinned.

"What are you smiling about?" Jamie asked, fully aware that he had a goofy grin on his own face.

"Do we get to pick dessert since we're the ones celebrating something?" she asked, referring to Henry's habit of letting the person who had done something exciting or noteworthy during the week pick out the dessert for Sunday night dinner.

Jamie snorted a laugh. He took Eddie's hand and started them on the path back to the house.

"Pop already picked up German blackout cake," he said. "We all know that's your pick."

"How did -?" Eddie tilted her head at her new fiancé (fiancé! Holy shit!), "They all knew!"

"Guilty," Jamie admitted sheepishly.

"Well," Eddie said, tucking her body against Jamie's side, "I'm glad your family was a part of this too."

"They're your family too now."
