Authors Notes: This takes place before the last chapter

Susan Lewis-Carter waited with bated breath. She was camped out by the phone all day long. Waiting for the call that would change her and her husband's life forever, the call that would reveal if she was pregnant or not. She feared that if she moved from the phone the call would never come.

A bit after 5, the call came. Susan could only say "O.K." faster and faster as her trusted doctor told her the results.

The simple blood test came back positive. She was going to be a mommy.

"Wow, that was fast!" Susan muttered to herself, referring to the fact that her and John had been married only a month.

Dancing around her and her husband's room, which was where she was waiting all day Susan hugged her tummy and just let out a giggle of 100% joy. Then her thoughts went to John. She wondered how she would tell him. It wasn't like she'd done this before. Finally, collapsing on to her side of the California King sized bed an idea stuck her.

Hurrying down the steps the pregnant Susan laughed and sighed as she looked down at her tummy. With a quick squeeze, she grabbed the car keys and headed over to the market to make a very special dinner for the daddy to be. Her mind was racing about everything. She wanted to just go and yell on a mountaintop that she was going to have a baby.

She quickly got the things that were necessary for this most joyous dinner, since John was to be home by 7:15 and it was already 5:45. Susan almost ran down the aisles, and came close to wiping out an old lady in the canned goods section. After a quick apology, Susan was off again. Making her way to the checkout, she ran into Dr. Chen.

"Hi, Susan. How are you?"

"On cloud nine!"

"What happened?"

"Can we talk about this later? I really need to get back home. I'm so sorry for leaving like this, but it's kinda urgent."

"No, no. Hey, if you gotta take care of something, then go and take care of them."

With that Susan checked out of the market. The paper bag was heavy, but nothing too bad. Taking her groceries to the little neon, she put the bag in the passengers seat, and headed back to the home front.

"Chloe, I need you now, you and little Suzi." Susan whispered to her self at a stoplight.

She made it back home at 6:15 and hurried to make the dinner. First she took the pre-made BABY back ribs and but them in the oven, since they would take the longest to make. Next she got out the fresh BABY corn and sucked them. After they were clean, she put them into a pot of hot water to let them boil. Next she scrubbed the BABY potatoes and put them in the microwave to cook.

By 7 all the food was cooked to perfection. She set up the two plates. Susan used a BABY blue tablecloth and used china that had BABY pink flowers on it. She turned the lights to dim and lit the candles as the door opened.
