When they reached the door of Sue's apartment, Jack was playfully tickling her side and kissing the back of her neck. She was giggling and having a hard time putting the key into the keyhole. "Jack!" She squealed as she finally got the door open. She gasped in surprise as she witnessed the shocked look of her parents inside. Lucy stood beside them and shrugged her shoulders. Lucy had spent the last twenty minutes trying to come up with an excuse as to why Sue wasn't home.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" Sue asked when she was able to speak.

"We thought we'd stop by for a surprise visit." Carla explained. Her mother suddenly suspicious at what she had just seen. "What's going on Sue?"

"Uhm… we have something to tell you." Sue looked at Jack who slipped his arm around her waist. "Jack and I got married."

"You did what?" Her mother was visibly upset. "When did this happen? I didn't even know you two were dating."

"Mrs. Thomas, I know this must seem somewhat of a shock to you but we love each other. It just took me a long time to tell Sue how I really felt about her and we didn't want to spend anymore time apart." Jack explained.

Carla's emotions had softened a little as she heard Jack's words and the love reflecting in his eyes for her daughter. Even though, she was still quite upset at the situation. "Why didn't you tell me Sue? I can't believe you just went ahead and got married without including us."

"Now dear, just look at them. They are happy and in love." Mr. Thomas chimed in trying to calm his wife down. This didn't help as she shot her husband a look.

"Mom, we didn't leave anyone out. We were going to tell you and we are planning a wedding in the summer. This was just for us, we wanted to be together."

"I don't understand. I've only met Jack a few times when we've come down to visit and I didn't even have a clue that you two were interested in each other."

"It's my fault Mrs. Thomas, I was afraid that Sue didn't feel the same about me and plus there is a no-dating policy at work. It was complicated, but I've been in love with your daughter since the first time I saw her." Jack said, trying to make her understand.

Sue's father was quietly watching the scene before him. He noticed the sincerity in Jack and saw the love that he had for his daughter. He walked towards Jack and held out his hand to him. "Welcome to the family son."

Jack shook his hand with a big smile on his face. "Thank you, sir."

Sue smiled as she watched the exchange between her father and Jack; she knew they would get along great. Her mother on the other hand was a different story.
