The next few weeks seem to fly by. Jack was grateful for Sue and the way she nursed him back to health. He was amazed at the many talents she possessed. She would make a great nurse he thought. He would imagine her taking care of the bumps, bruises and scraped knees of their children. He sighed at the thought. No other woman had made him think of children, but with Sue he wanted them. He wanted to marry her and have a family with her. He didn't want to rush things or make her feel pressured. But he couldn't imagine living without her now. He dreaded the day she would move back in with Lucy.
Jack decided to plan a special night for Sue. The six-week mark of his recovery was approaching soon. He wanted to thank her for taking such special care of him. Later that day Sue had gone out to get some groceries and Jack called Bobby.
"Hey Mate, how are you?"
"Great Crash. How's everything in the bullpen?"
"We're all hanging in there, but we miss you and Sue." Bobby said.
"Yeah, I can't wait until the gangs back together solving cases. It won't be much longer. I have one more check up before the doctor gives the okay."
"That's great Sparky!"
Jack chuckled. "Yeah… hey Bobby… do you think you can do me a favour?"
"Sure, anything for you mate."
"I'm planning a surprise night out for Sue, something very special."
"Did I miss something, are the two of you together?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah, we're together. Don't tell anyone Bobby, please. I want to talk to Garrett first before we make it public." Jack explained.
"Sure, you can count on me. I won't tell a soul and Congrats Mate! Best news I heard all day."
"Thanks Bobby and thanks for helping me out."
"Sure Mate, I'll stop by tomorrow and tell Sue I'm taking you out for some time with the guys."
"That's great, maybe I can convince her to go shopping with Lucy or something."
"Okay, sounds like a plan." Bobby said, before he hung up.
Jack smiled to himself thinking about his special night out with Sue. He couldn't wait to see her face when he surprised her.
