Summary: Susan gets an unexpected visitor (Fem-slash) Third Watch, ER crossover

Rating: PG

I never thought I would get married, I always wanted to but for some reason I never thought I would. But here I am about to purpose to my girlfriend of two years. She is defiantly the one, the more and more I think about it the more I realize that I want to spent my life with this woman. How did I get this conclusion you ask? Well it all start two summers ago in the ER…

It was a normal busy day in the ER. I've been on my feet for four hours straight seeing patient after patient after patient and finally it was time for me to go home. I was walking towards the lounge to get my stuff to go home when Abby walked up be hide me.

"Susan someone is at the desk for you."

"I'm off get them to someone else." I sighed

"It's not a patient she says she knows you." She said and pointed over to the 'she' she was referring to, a medium size blond who was standing over at the admission desk. She looked familiar but where did I know her from? Then it hit me

"Oh my god!" I didn't mean for it to come out but it did.

"Oh my god what?" Abby gave me her famous confused look.

"She was one of the police officer that helped find my niece. "

"Oh. So what's the problem?"

"There's no problem I am just surprised to see her." Which was true after I left New York I didn't think I'd every see her or anybody else I meet there, but that wasn't the reason why I said what I said. To tell the truth I kind of had a crush on her when I was in New York. I know. I know I'm thirty- four years old and still having 'crushes' on people. How juvenile is that? Well anyway back to my story. "Did she say what she wanted?" I asked trying to hide the nervous that hit me suddenly.

"No. All she said was 'does a Dr. Susan Lewis work here?' "

"Oh." I must have looked nervous because Abby sensed something.

"You sure you're ok?"

"Yeah thanks." I lied and nodded my head, and then I walked over to the admission desk. "Officer Yokas?" she turned around and faced me. She's even more beautiful then I remember.

"Hi. Dr. Lewis how have you been." She said. She seemed happy to see me. I smiled to myself

"Fine and yourself?" I asked and let my smile show

"Good."

"What are you doing here in Chicago?"

"I'm here for two weeks for the woman of the shield conference. Since I was here I thought I would look you up and see how you were doing."

"Really? I'm surprised you even remember me, I mean I know you meet a lot of people and I know how hard it is to keep track."

"Yeah I'm sure you know" she said looking around at the packed ER. "As many people that I meet some people you just can't forget." She says to me and smiles. I nodded my head in agreement.

"I know exactly what you mean. Well I just got off so do you want to go and get some coffee?" I asked forgetting about my tiredness.

"Sure that would be great." She replied giving me another one of her smiles.

"I have to get my things I'll be right back." She nods and I turned around and start to walk towards the lounge for the second time, this time I get stopped by Kerry.

"Susan, Carter just called in and said was going to be a hour late and were short two nurses do you think you can stay a little late to day?" I looked around the ER realized it's more crowed than I thought. I then look at the officer I just made place with. She was still in earshot since I only took three steps before Kerry stopped me.

"I'm so sorry." I said as I turned around to face her.

"Its okay we can grab a cup of coffee another time or" she pauses." I can wait for you if you want."

"I couldn't ask you to do that I really don't know how long I will be." I said praying to god that she insisted on staying.

"I don't mind besides I don't know anybody else in Chicago and I hate going places by myself so I doubt if I would be able to find something better to do."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Well if you're really sure, you can wait in the lounge it's a little more comfortable then out here." She said okay then I led her to the lounge. "Are you sure you want to stay I mean there's not much to do in here."

"I'm sure. I still have paper work for the conference I still have to fill out" she said motioning to the small backpack she was caring "that should keep me busy for awhile. So don't worry about me." She smiles. If she keeps doing that I swear I'm going to get lost I remember thinking to myself.

"Okay. You can help yourself" I said motioning to the coffee "but I'm afraid by now it might not be too good."

"I'm sure I had worse." She chuckles.

"I'll back as soon as I can." She nods and with that I lift the lounge.

When I return to the lounge two hours later I find Pratt flirting with the beautiful officer. I can tell by the look in her eyes she's not interested and that she's only listening to his crap to be nice. I swear Pratt would flirt with any women with a pulse. I decide to end her misery and step in.

"Officer Yokas ready to go?"

"Officer? You're a cop?" Pratt says and tried to sound amazed. She nodded. "Why would a beautiful woman like yourself want with a dangerous job like that?"

"To take care of my beautiful children." She smiles I know she's trying to hold back at laugh

"Children?"

"Yes children. I have a daughter who just turned thirteen and a son who's nine."

"Oh." Was his only reply

"It was nice talking to you Dr. Pratt." She said when she saw me put on my jacket

"It was nice talking to you to Faith, um if you want to catch a drink before you leave Chicago give me a call." God the boy never gives up, I was sure he would have quit when he realized she had kids. No luck there.

"Ok I will" she gave him a smile. I'm sure she only did it to get rid of him or at least that is what I told myself.
