Chapter 3: Forever In Your Eyes
Carter wants to plan a special evening for Kerry and he enlists the help of an old friend.
Carter was having one of those days filled with crazy patients but he couldn't keep his mind on work all he could think about was Kerry. A few nights ago she had come home in tears. She told him about catching Dave in the back of a rig with a EMT she fired him and later that day he had come to her pleading for his job only to confess he had a child and when she still wouldn't rehire him he had said some pretty rude things to her. That had made Carter furious he wanted to clobber Malucci but he promised Kerry he wouldn't. Then a few days ago Kerry got into it with Jing Mei which caused Jing Mei to quit plus after 3 years the private investigator Kerry had hired to find her birth mother showed up stating he had really found her birth mother this time. Carter wished more people knew about them because when ever he would see Kerry hurt or sad at work he just wanted to walk over to her and pull her in to a hug. He had to do something to cheer her up. He knew what he wanted to do but he didn't know how to do it. He wanted to ask Elizabeth for some advise but she was in surgery all day. He sighed and went outside in the ambulance bay to get some air. He looked over and saw her sitting on the bench alone looking like she was upset.
He walked over and sat down beside her. "Hey Susan is everything ok" Susan looked up and smiled "Yeah I'm fine I'm just trying to figure out what's good about working here and I can't come up with anything" Carter took a hold of her hand and smiled "There's always good friends" Susan smiled "Yeah good friends" Carter looked at her "Susan can I ask you something" Susan nodded "Sure Carter" Carter smiled "Well I don't know if you knew I was seeing someone and well I want to plan a special evening for her I want to propose but I have no clue how to plan anything like that I've never been with a woman long enough to even consider marriage" Susan giggled "Carter you want to propose to your girlfriend she must be pretty special to have stolen your heart is it anyone I know?" Carter nodded "Umm yes you know her" Susan nudged him "So are you going to tell me who she is" Carter knew if he wanted Susan's help he'd have to tell her. He looked at her and whispered "Kerry Weaver"
Susan looked at him "Carter did you just say Kerry Weaver?" Carter nodded "Yes and I'm sure you don't approve right" Susan shook her head "No Carter of course not I was just a little shocked" Carter smiled "So you'll come over to our house and help me set up a special evening for her" Susan smiles "Sure Carter" He hugs her "Thank you Susan"
An hour later Susan walked up the stairs to Kerry's front door and rang the doorbell. Carter opened the door. "Susan come on in" Susan walked in and looked around. "Wow I didn't know Kerry was into African art" Carter smiled "Yeah she used to live in Africa" Something caught Susan's eye she walked over to the mantel she was shocked to see a picture with her in it but the picture next to it was what caught her eye it was a picture of Kerry and Carter he had his arms around her waist and the both had big happy smiles on their faces. Susan smiled they really looked happy together. She turned to face Carter "So what do you want me to do" Carter smiled "Well you could come taste my spaghetti sauce" Susan giggled "Ok" she followed Carter into the kitchen. He held out a spoon with a little sauce dripping off the edge. Susan took a taste from the spoon. "Mmm Carter it tastes wonderful" He smiled "Thanks" Carter walked over to the oven and Susan followed him. "Garlic bread it smells great" Carter giggled "Am I making you hungry Susan" Susan giggled too. "Why don't I set the table for you". Susan walked over to the cabinets she got out two plates and two champagne glasses and arranged them on the table along with the silverware cloth napkins, and a few candles. She walked over to Carter who was stirring the spaghetti. "Carter do you have any flowers?" He nodded "Yes I have a bouquet of pink roses they're Kerry's favorite they're in the firg." Susan walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out the flowers. She filled a vase with water and arranged the flowers in the vase. She set them in the middle of the table.
Susan decided to set the front room up for him too. She set up candles all around the room she lit them. She stood back and looked at the room she thought it still needed something. She walked over to the table and removed some of the roses from the vase. She went back to the front room and set the flowers through out the room. Susan thought it was still missing something. She got her purse of the couch and searched through it pulling out the little bottle of her favorite perfume and sprayed it around the room. Carter walked into the room. "Wow Susan it looks great" He could smell the perfume in the air "You even sprayed Kerry's favorite perfume!" Susan giggles "Kerry likes Adidas *Moves* for women" Carter smiled "Thank you Susan it looks great I have one last touch" He walks over to the CD player and inserts a CD. Enrique Iglesias's voice came through the speakers singing *Hero* Susan smiles "I love that song" Carter grins "So does Kerry" He looks at Susan "I want to show you something" He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a little velvet box he opens it. Susan looks at the beautiful diamond ring sparkling in its box. "Carter its beautiful" Carter looked at her. "Really so you think she'll like it?" Susan smiled "She'll love it" Susan thought to herself "Kerry you sure are one lucky woman" Carter closed the box and put back in his pocket. He smiles at Susan. "I have one last thing to do I'll be right back. He disappears up the stairs.
Susan looked around Kerry's front room some more she came across some more pictures. She saw one that made her laugh out loud. It was the picture Jerry had taken of her, Carol, and Carter doing the twist. Then she saw Elizabeth and Mark's wedding picture. She sighed as she glided her finger over Mark's face. Carter's voice startled her. "So what do you think Susan" She turned around Carter had changed his clothes. He was now wearing black pants with a long sleeved blue silk shirt topped off with a black tie. Susan smiled "Carter you look incredible!" Carter blushed a little "Thank you Susan". Susan grabbed her purse and coat. "Well I better go before Kerry gets home I hope everything goes well tonight" Carter walked over and kissed Susan on the cheek. "Thank you for all your help." She smiled "You're Welcome Carter" He opened the door he watched her walk down the stairs and disappear down the street. He closed the door and went around and checked everything one final time. Everything was prefect all he needed was Kerry.
Half an hour later Carter was sitting on the couch when he heard Kerry's key in the door. He suddenly became nervous. He stood up and walked over to the door. When Kerry opened the door she saw Carter standing there. He smiled "Hi honey close your eyes" Kerry looked at him "John why do you want me to close my eyes" He kept smiling "just close your eyes" Kerry let out a breath. "Fine" She closed her eyes. Carter took her hand and led her into dining room. "Ok you can open your eyes now" Kerry slowly opened her eyes. She saw the beautifully set table her eyes were misty with tears "Oh John its beautiful" He pulled out her chair and she sat down. She set her crutch under the table and Carter pushed her chair in. He disappeared into the kitchen and reappeared with two plates of spaghetti and two slices of garlic bread. He poured champagne in to their glasses. Carter sat down across from her and the two of them enjoyed a romantic dinner.
Kerry set her napkin on her plate "John that was delicious" He smiles "Why don't we finish our champagne in the front room" Kerry smiled "Ok" Carter takes her hand and leads her to the front room. Kerry was in awe she looked around at all the candles and flowers. Carter grinned "So do you like it" She smiled " I love it" He set his glass on the coffee table and walked over to the CD player and turned it on soon the room wis filled with the voice of Enrique Iglesias's *Hero* Carter walked over to Keerry. He took her glass out of her hand and set it next to his. He smiled "Dance with me Kerry" She smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist. She laid her head on his chest and they slowly danced to the music.
Would you dance if I asked you to dance
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight
Would you tremble if I touched your lips
Would you laugh
Oh please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you love
Hold me in your arms tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Would you lie
Would you run away and hide
Am I in too deep
Have I lost my mind
Well I don't care ...
Because you're here tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Oh I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
Am I in to deep
Have I lost my mind
Well I don't care..
You're here tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever'
You can take my breath away.
The music stopped but Carter still held Kerry close dancing slowly. Kerry smiled and whispered "Umm honey the music stopped." He smiled. He took her hand "Lets go sit down on the couch. They sat down. Carter looked at Kerry. He reached out and touched her cheek . He whispers "Do you know how beautiful you look in the candle light" Kerry blushed and smiled at him. Carter took her hands in his. He was real nervous now. He spoke softly. "Kerry you're beautiful, sweet, and caring I treasure every moment we share I'm never happier than when I'm with you" He slowly gets off the couch and gets down on one knee in front of her. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the little box. He takes Kerry's hand. He smiles. "I love you with all my heart I knew I loved you from the start and I never want us to be apart" He took the ring out of its box. He looked right into her beautiful blue-green eyes and whispered "Kerry, Will you marry me?" as he slid the beautiful diamond ring on her small finger. Kerry was speechless as silent tears rolled down her cheeks. She finally whispers "Yes" Carter got up and sat beside her . The tears continued to silently roll down her cheeks. She looks into Carter's warm brown eyes. She whispers "I love you John, I love you so much" Carter smiled and whispered "I love you too Mrs. Carter" That made Kerry smile she loved how it sounded. She looked at the ring sparkling on her finger. She couldn't believe it she would soon be Mrs. John Carter. She looked at him. She smiled wrapping her arms around him and kissing him.
