Back to Your Heart
Part 12
Carter followed her into the lounge "What's the matter?" he asked as he opened the door she had slammed in his face
"I don't know if I can marry you John," she said in tears
"Why?" he asked
"Because John I'm already married," she said
"What, why didn't you tell me?" he asked shocked
"Well I didn't expect you to propose to me, hell I didn't even expect us to get together," she said
"Susan, do you still love him?" he asked
"No, I pretty much left him and well he wasn't to upset about it" she said sitting down in tears
"What did he hurt you?" he asked concerned
"Well yes he did and that's another reason why I left after Chloe and Susie were killed he got worse and worse and I just left him" she said looking down at the ground
"Susan, why did you not say anything?" he asked
"Because things were going really well with the two of us and I didn't like I said know you were going to ask me to marry you," she said
"Susan I promise I will never hurt you, you know that I love you too much to ever hurt you" he said walking over towards her embracing her "I'll even help you get a divorce from him if you want to
"I know John but I'm not even sure he would sign the divorce papers," she said
"Well that's something we will have to deal with at that time right now I want to be with you and you don't have to answer me right now, you follow your heart and you can give me your answer when you are ready" he said
"Thank you John I really do love you and you are such a good man" she said
"Well why don't we just go home now" he said
"Sounds good," she said as they grabbed their stuff and walked out
"What do you think they said in there?" Dave said
"I don't know but why don't we leave those two alone for now" Kerry said as everyone went back to partying. The next day they went to the county court to get divorce papers
"Those were pretty easy to get" Carter said as they walked out
"Yeah I thought the judge was going to ask me for blood sample or something" she joked
"Well why don't we get something to eat and mail these off" he said as they got in the car
"I'm up for that," she said. They got in his car and drove around for a while, when they stopped at a little diner and got a couple of hamburgers to go and went back to driving
"It sure is a nice day" Carter said as they drove to the lake where they kissed
"Why are you taking me here?" she asked
"Well we cant eat in the car so I thought this was as good of a place as any" he said getting out
"Whatever John" she said as she got out, they sat there on his hood just eating quietly looking out at the view in front of them
"So where did you meet this guy?" he asked wanting to know more about this mystery man she was married to
"At the hospital, he was an attending down in the ER with me and we went out for a couple of months then we got married" she said looking down
"Well that sounds sweet, I wish you would of invited some of us" he said
"Well it was kind of spur of the moment thing we really didn't plan anything we just got married" she said
"Oh I see," he said looking into her eyes
"Well why don't we go ahead and head home and spend a nice quiet evening together" she said as she grabbed the trash up and threw it in the trashcan
"Sounds good," he said as he got in the car. They drove home to notice that there was a light on in the living room
"Did you forget to turn the light off?" Susan asked
"No I remember turning it off" he said as they got out of the car, they walked up to the front door and noticed that it was unlocked "What's going on?" he asked himself, they got in the house and noticed that it was filled with roses and candles
"See I can give surprises too" she said as he turned around to see her with a smile on her face
"How did you do this?" he asked flabbergasted
"I got some of the girls at the hospital to come in here and do this while we were gone" she said with a smile on her face
"Wow this is wonderful," he said looking around, "But what is it all for?" he asked
"Well John" she said as she walked towards him "I know that you were crushed when you asked me to marry you and I rejected it, that's cause I wasn't really sure what I wanted at that time and I know that I'm ready to go deeper into our relationship" she said
"Susan Lewis are you proposing to me?" he asked
"I guess you can say that" she said "John will you marry me and all my problems?" she asked as she took out the ring that he had given to her the other night
"How did you find this?" he asked
"I have my ways" she said with a grin on her face "So will you?" she asked again
"Yes I will marry you" he said as he kissed and lifted her off the ground
"Should we tell them we are still here?" Abby asked as they hid in the closet
"Nah, we will just sneak out later," Kerry said
"Yeah besides they look very happy," Chuny said. Carter and Susan finally decided to finish their happiness in the bedroom, which gave the 3 ladies a chance to get out of the closet they were hiding in.
The next day Carter and Susan came in all smiles holding hands and loving all over each other, they passed by all the people that were watching this "Oh by the way if anyone happens to see Abby tell her she left her wallet at my house" Carter said, as they walked into the backroom to get ready for their day of work and left the group standing there with their mouths agape
