it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

Carter looked at her for the longest time,his mouth moving,but no
words escaping

"Yes John" a small smile crept on her lips

"Seriously?"

Deb nodded

"I love you Deb Chen"

Deb smiled,"I love you too"

and sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

"What's going on?" Lydia pushed Lily out of the way of the window

"I can't tell" malik called,"They're..."

"ewwwww" Haleh laughed

"It's sweet" Chuny said

"What?" haleh turned to her ,"What's sweet about embarrassing her
like that?"

"Huh?"

Everyone laughed

you take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees

"Wanna tell them?" he asked,turning her back to the window

"I think they know" Deb smiled

"you'd think they didn't have anything better to do" Carter wrapped
his arm around her middle

"Is Randi with them?"

Carter shook his head

"Then we're safe for a few minutes" she turned and gave him a quick
peck on the lips


and sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

"On my cue" Malik called out

"Why your cue?" Haleh called back

"Fine, on your cue"

"No, I don't wanna do it"

"They're coming" Randi called

"CONGRATULATIONS!!" everybody cried out

Deb looked at Carter,startled

"Umm" she bit her bottom lip,a blush creeping on her cheeks


and I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

Dave rolled his eyes and grabbed a chart."Congratulations you just
inherited a ball and chain"

"MALUCCI!" Kerry cried out

"Oops.Getting back to work Chief" he answered

Kerry grinned,coming up behind him."Can't you say something nice for
once?"

"Congratulations Man"

Carter smirked

I miss the little things
oh I miss everything

"I'm happy for you" Abby smiled at him,"That was some secret"

He nodded,"Hard to keep"

Deb bit her lip and watched the akward interaction

"But it was worth it" Carter rested his arm across Deb's lower back

"You guys look happy"

Deb blushed,"Yeah"

it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room

"So our Carter's grown up" Dr Green laughed,"Congratulations"

Deb shook her head,rummaging through the chart pile.

"Are we still on for dinner?" he asked in her ear

"wouldn't miss it for the world" Deb beamed
