Story Summery: A trip to Phoenix for Carter and Susan proves to be more than they asked for.

A Phoenix Surprise

Monday:

Carter turned over and looked at the clock it read 9:00am, he had gotten the week off for both himself and Susan. They had decided not to long ago that they would go to Phoenix to visit her sister. He could still remember the conversation they had about the trip over dinner.

Few nights ago:

"Hmm, John can I ask you a question" Susan said halfway through dinner.

"Of course" Carter answered while cutting up a piece of his steak.

"I talked to my sister yesterday and she said that little Suzie wanted to see me, so I'm wondering if you would like to go with me" Susan said

"I would love to go with you Susan; hey it gives me a chance to find some secrets out about you" Carter said with a grin

"Due to that comment you get to do the dishes all by yourself" Susan said and walked out leaving Carter with a stack of dishes.

"Great move" Carter said to himself as he looked at the dishes.

Back to Monday:

After they ate breakfast and put their luggage in the Jeep Carter drove them to the airport. They drop the car off in long time parking area. As they headed to the plane Carter put his arm around Susan. Susan smiled at him and leaned against him as they walked to their gate. When they got to the gate they show the worker their tickets and boarded the plane. After they sat down Cater decide to take a nap since he hadn't sleep well since the dream he had about her, he was seeing someone for help but it still scared him. Susan watched him sleep then started to think about the trip.

"I have no clue what they are going to say when they meet him. I'm not just talking about my family I'm talking about my old friends. I left just under a year ago and now I'm coming to visit with a boyfriend that is younger than me. My sister on the other hand knew about Carter and will rub it in my face about not going out with him before. I guess we will find out how this trips goes step by step."

Susan decided that it would be a good idea to take a nap also, so she put her head on Carters shoulder and fell asleep she wasn't aware that Carter was half awake when Susan went to sleep. He was also thinking about the trip.

"I wondered what her friends would think of me. I know her sister and I can already picture what her sister is going to say about us dating. Susan told me that she hasn't told anyone that we are dating. Which is good and bad in my opinion. It is good because it will make it easier for Susan to show me off to her friends. However it is bad because that gives any girl in the ER the right to flirt with me, which is not bad but I love Susan to death and I don't want to make her mad in anyway."

They both were woken up by the flight attendant and told that they would be landing very soon. So they put on they safety belts and waited for the plane to land.

After the plane landed Susan went to find her sister while Carter went to get their luggage. He found their entire luggage and went to look for Susan. He spotted her with her sister family and walked over to join them.

"So how is everything in Chicago" Chloe asked?

"Its great" Susan said as she picked up little Suzie

"How are you doing girl" Susan asked?

"I'm doing great" Suzie said as she hugged her aunt. It was this time that Carter appeared by Susan side.

"Well who do we have here" Chloe asked

"You remember Dr. John Carter" Susan said

"Yes, nice to see you again" Chloe said.

"So why are you with Susan" Chloe asked?

"Well you see he is my boyfriend" Susan said. Carter put his arm around Susan. They smiled at each other while Chloe and her family mouths hung open.
