Ch.2 Surprise

2 Years Before

"Good morning love." Carter said giving his girlfriend a kiss as she woke up.

"Good morning red." Dana smiled stretching and then wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing him closer for a kiss. They gently pulled away, and Carter looked into her eyes with a bright smile.

"What?" Dana asked smiling

"Nothing." Carter said with a chuckle.

"Tell me." Dana insisted with a smile hugging him close to her.

"We'll I've been thinking…a lot…and…Well you spend all your time here and you have a drawer with your things." Carter stammered, making Dana give him s curious look.

"What are you saying?" Dana asked confused.

"I'm saying, that I want you to move in with me." Carter said a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"You want me to move in with you?" Dana asked with a smile.

"I do." He smiled back at her.

"Hmm…well…." Dana smiled mischievously, making Carter nervous. "I'd love to." Dana finally answered happily.

"C'mon." Carter said getting up.

"Where?" Dana asked.

"C'mon." He said picking her up from their bed.

"Where are we going?" Dana asked holding onto him.

"Close your eyes." Carter instructed. She did as she was told and he carried her outside.

"Do you trust me?" Carter asked stopping. Dana could hear the smirk on his face as he spoke.

"Yes." She said without hesitation.

"Good." Carter said and jumped into the pool, as the water met Dana she gave a small yelp of surprise.

"You jerk!" Dana said coming up for are and laughing.

"I love you." He said giving her a kiss.

A Few Weeks Later

"Happy Birthday!" Everyone shouted as Carter came home.

"Wow! Guys thank you." Carter said with a bright smile.

"Happy Birthday babe." Dana said coming over and giving him a small kiss.

"Thank you, all of you." Carter said addressing everyone gathered in front of him. He got settled and changed his clothes since he was still in his Fire Fighter clothes, and then headed out to thank everyone for coming and receiving 'happy birthday's' from everyone, while Dana did the same on the opposite side of the room.

"Is there a second that you can take your eyes off of her?" Nick a co-worker and good friend of Carter teased.

"What are you talking about?" Carter asked with a chuckle.

"You've been watching her all night." Nick said looking over at Dana who was smiling and talking to Tommy and Kimberly Oliver.

"Nick when you decide to commit to a serious relationship, you'll understand." Carter said with a smile.

"What's to commit to?" Nick laughed.

"Who are we committing to?" Dana came over and asked hearing only the last of Nick's comment.

"You." Carter answered giving Dana a kiss.

"Time for me to find an unsuspecting girl to romance." Nick said with a mock tip of his hat. "Don't go to wild tonight." He winked walking away.

"No promises." Dana said as he left with a laugh.

"Carter c'mon." Kelsey came over and took him by the hand. "We're doing cake now." Kelsey told them happily. Ryan came over and stood next to Dana who was watching everyone gathered for the cake.

"So, you and Carter moving in together?" Ryan mused.

"That the plan." Dana said with a smile.

"You sure it's a good idea?" Ryan asked in a tone that Dana knew meant the was not pleased by her decision.

"No one said anything when Joel and Angela moved in together, and I was happy when you moved in with Kelsey." Dana said knowing Ryan was over protective when it came to her relationship with Carter.

"Yes, but Joel and Angela are married now, and Kelsey and I are engaged." Ryan counterted.

"Are you saying I should get married right now...I didn't think so." Dana said when she saw the face that Ryan made. "I'm a big girl, I love you for being concerned but I know what I'm doing…don't worry." Dana said placing a kiss on his cheek and joining the others in the kitchen.

A Few Days Later

Carter and Dana had spent the day moving Dana's things to Carter's house.

"All done." Dana said handing Carter the last box. He took it inside and placed it on the table, and sat on the couch, where Dana joined him.

"You're ok with all of this right?" Dana Carter asked hugging Dana's waist.

"Moving in?" She asked and he nodded.

"Yes…Why are you?" Dana asked turning to face him.

"Yes, yes, it's just that Ryan…he doesn't think it's such a good idea, we were talking yesterday." Csrter explained.

"I know…"Dana sighed. "He's just being a big brother." Dana smiled and kissed Carter lightly.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Carter said.

"We'll work out you'll see." Dana said pushing him down to lay on top of him.
