AN: a little useless ficlet to maybe make some disgruntled Twitter friends smile a bit. Thanks to Darcy for letting me borrow the characters. WARNING: total schmaltzy gooeyness ahead.

THIS WAS A WONDERFUL SURPRISE, AND I'VE NEEDED SOME SFT FOR QUITE SOMETIME SO FIIIINALLY!

I love Noah so much. Quiet boy who does everything at his own pace... I just relate, because I was the slow one in my family too. And their family snuggles... make me so happy.

Regardless of where the show goes, this is my headcanon.

I'm glad you liked it - everyone has been so sad and discouraged lately, I decided to try and fix it a little. Not sure I succeeded, fluff isn't really my strong suit, it turns out.

No worries, angst is on the way.

Anywhoo, I love little Noah too and I would like to disagree with you being "slow" in any way, shape or form.

I LOVE this little family and it will ALWAYS be my head-canon.

I was surprisingly zen and calm yesterday, in one of my 'they know better than to do that' moods but I still appreciate the effort. I just wish the little devil voice didn't pop up when reading things like "Then again, he was completely unprepared for the amount of sheer adoration he felt for them, beginning at the moment he knew of their conception" I have to admit my heart lurched a little at that one because that feeling is only reserved for McSwarek kids. Marlo does not get any part of 'adoration', sorry.

Back to zen...

Loved the little 2 truths and a lie shout out.

And your description of Bella was spot on for me - protective of her brother... to a point and capable of McNally size rambles.

And lastly... I want Sam to always be in awe of McNally.

This is my world, I just want to live in it.

Hey...thanks for sharing.

Deniiiiiiiiise! You do realize I wrote "the" mother of his children, not "a" mother. No way is that other woman going to have any offspring belonging to Sam. Not in my universe anyway.

Sam Swarek is always, always going to be in awe of McNally. He has tried repeatedly not to be - doesn't work.

Thanks, as always, for your generous replies.

This is sweet fluff :) Simple moments with Sam and Andy and their kids is sweet to read and I liked your words here. I liked that you included a part where things weren't so great and Sam realized how stressed out Andy was and he fixed it. Love that you summed up their courtship...when it's written out like that it makes me appreciate the development of their relationship on the show.

thank you for writing and sharing!

Wanted to give Sam a chance to prove he learned how to take care of her, not just physically (which he has always done) but emotionally as well.

Glad you liked the fluffiness. :)

Ahhhhh!! All the mushiness and feels... I love it! Thank you for writing about the Swarek family universe. It has been desperately missed. And while, S5 was infinitely better where McSwarek is concerned, I always want more.

[subsidingchaos]

Three cheers for mushy feels!

I love thinking about how happy they will be - and by happy I mean well equipped to handle life's craptastic moments as well as the snuggles in the family bed. The hard stuff and the good stuff together.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment - it means a lot!

Hey! Thanks for reading. I hope to finish up my story from Christmas (good grief) and get started on a new one very soon - stayed tuned :)
