They had just pulled in to the Philadelphia train station and they were all stepping off of the train, they all ran forward to greet Colleen but Andrew decided to stay back because he felt this was a family moment. He could greet Colleen later when they were alone.
They were all climbing in to the streetcar that was going to take them to the hotel that they were going to be staying at while they were there, Matthew offered to sit up front with the driver while the rest all squashed in to the back.
The streetcar pulled up outside the hotel, everyone climbed down and walked into the hotel. Everyone stopped to take in all the things around them, everything was so exquisite.
They walked up to the front desk; Sully stepped forward and said, "Good evening, reservation in the name of Sully, Byron Sully."
The tall gentleman behind the desk checked the books and then lifted his head to face Sully and spoke, "well good evening Mr Sully, your rooms are not quite ready just yet, if you all would care to take a seat in the lounge area, and I will inform you when they are ready, I am sure they won't be long."
"OK, thank you," Sully replied.
They all took a seat in the lounge area, Sully and Michaela sat on one sofa with Byron sat in Sully's lap, Colleen and Andrew were sat on another sofa holding hands and Matthew, Brian and Katie were sat on another.
"So, what's been happening back home is there any news?" Colleen asked.
"Well I think Brian might be able to answer that question for you," Sully answered his daughter with a slight cheeky grin on his face.
At that moment everyone apart from Michaela and Sully were intrigued to here what he had to say, because nobody other than his parents knew about Sarah and Brian courting.
"Well then Brian, what's new?" Matthew asked a little shocked that he didn't know what was going on when Dr Mike and Sully obviously knew.
"Um.I am.Sarah and I are courtin'," he looked towards his older brother and sister for their reactions with flushed cheeks.
"Oh that's wonderful Brian," Colleen immediately spoke up while looking at Andrew, "she's a really lucky girl."
"Thanks sis," Brian said.
"That really is good news little brother," Matthew quickly added.
Byron spoke up out of nowhere, "what does courtin' mean?"
"It means more kissin'," Katie replied loudly.
Everyone in the room let out a little laugh.
"Excuse me," a tall gentleman interrupted, "your rooms are ready."
"Oh wonderful," Michaela said.
"Right then, I shall be getting back to the college," Colleen spoke out.
"I'll walk you back, it's getting pretty dark and we don't want you walking all alone in the dark," said Andrew.
"Thank you Andrew," Colleen said blushing.
Michaela and Matthew shared a look and a smile remembering their conversation from the previous week.
Andrew held out his arm for Colleen and they said goodnight to everyone as they left.
Every one watched as they left, all thinking the same thing, whether or not they would finally plan to marry.
They had just arrived outside the college when Andrew began, "so are you getting excited? In two days you will finally become a doctor."
"Yes, but to be honest I'm looking more forward to coming home for good, I've been away for so long, only coming back for the odd visit now and again. I'm looking forward to being around my family all the time again," she paused, "and you," she finished looking up at Andrew her cheeks red with embarrassment.
"I'm looking forward to seeing you more often as well," he said. "Colleen, I have been meaning to talk to you about that, I've been putting it off for so long now so I am just gonna come right out and say it."
"Andrew what is it?" Colleen encouraged.
"Well you know I love you and I was wondering that now you are finished with medical school and you will be coming home," at this moment Andrew bent down on one knee opening a small box with a large diamond ring and said, "Colleen will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
Ha, a cliffhanger! And you have to wait two weeks to find out what she is gonna say, will it be yes or will it be no??!
Please read and review! Thanx, LoopyLou
