Things had changed since they had made love. It wasn't a terrible change, but an utterly wonderful change. They were acting like two lovesick school children. It was a nice change of pace for both of them.

Luka watched Susan as she laced up the ice skates. She had told him that she skated. He was surprised. He never pegged her as the type.

"Come on." Susan jumped onto the ice. Luka chuckled.

"All right, Sweetheart." He went on the ice and took her hand. "Nice and romantic ice skating is don't you think?"

"Oh yes, of course." Susan squeezed his hand as they started to skate. Luka watched Susan as they went around the rink. Her cheeks were slowly turned red, but her eyes were sparkling.

"I need to tell you something." Luka said. Susan looked at him.

"All right." She smiled. Luka licked his lips.

"Well, I love you." He said. Susan's heart pounded in her chest slightly. She smiled slightly at him and stopped skating.

"You love me?" She asked him. He nodded.

"I love you." He said, "I ah…I love you with all my heart." Susan started to giggle as she began skating again. Her blue eyes toyed with his.

"I love you too." She said. Luka returned her grin.

"You do?" He asked. Susan nodded.

"Oh yes." She said, "You make me very happy. It's been a long time since I have been in love and treated like this."

"You've been treated badly?" Luka frowned slightly.

"Well, not badly, but not treated like I was a princess like you treat me." She said. Luka smiled at her.

"You deserve to be treated like a princess." Luka smiled s he caught up with her. Susan arched her eyebrow, "What?"

"Nothing." Susan chuckled as they skated around the rink.

"No. Tell me." He said. Susan rolled her eyes.

"With the others…like Danijela and Abby, were you this sweet?" Susan asked. Luka chuckled flashing her his dimples.

"I think so. Danijela was a very kind spirit. She was my first girlfriend so I just wanted to show her the world." He said. Susan watched the happiness in his eyes. "I was her first boyfriend also so we both just wanted it to go perfectly. She deserved it."

"Great." Susan smiled, "And Abby?"

"Abby, well Abby was different. I tried to be like that with her, but she seemed to push me away. I don't know." He shrugged.

"You went out for awhile." Susan said.

"Yeah." Luka said, "Abby is a very hard woman to be with. More power to Carter." He smiled again.

"What?"

"Abby is my ex and Carter is yours." Luka said.

"Now they're engaged and we're dating." Susan chuckled, "that's kind of weird."

"But a good kind of weird." Luka said. Susan nodded as they sped on the ice. "Why don't we stop talking about our ex's?" Susan nodded.

"That sounds good to me." Susan held his hand tighter. She looked up at him, happiness singing in her heart. Susan couldn't believe this was her reality. This extremely hot man was in love with her.

When you know it's the one, you know it's the one. Your heart goes pitter-patter thinking about your future with them. It excites you when think about the future children you may have. That was what Luka felt when he was with Susan. He loved her.

"What size ring do you wear?" Luka asked her. Susan looked at him.

"Seven. Why?" She asked him. Luka smiled and his eyes sparkled.

"No reason." He said. Susan shook her head as she put down her book.

"Tell me." She said. Luka chuckled.

"Well…If I ever want to propose to you I need to know your ring size now don't I?" He asked. Susan blushed deeply. Propose?

"You don't plan on doing that soon are you?" She whispered.

"Would it bother you?" He asked. Susan bit her lip.

"No it wouldn't bother me per say, Luka, but I'm not ready for marriage." She said, "Not yet at least." Luka nodded.

"Is it because it's me?" He asked. Susan shook her head.

"No. I know you're the one I want to marry someday." She smiled. "Just I don't know, we're still in the early stages of this relationship. I don't want to go too fast and fuck this up."

"We won't fuck up." Luka said to her. Susan shrugged.

"We could." She said. Luka nodded.

"Do you want to have children?" He asked. Susan looked at him startled. Children? She had never really thought about it.

"I suppose so, but I'm not that young anymore." She said.

"You're young." He chuckled. Susan smiled gratefully.

"Do you want children, Luka?" She asked him. Luka thought about it for a moment and then he nodded with a smile.

"Yes. Having children is an amazing experience." He said, "I want to do it again. I want to do it with you." Susan smiled.

"I would like that." She said, "I did a good job with Suzie."

"I'm sure you did." He smiled at her; "I would love to meet her sometime." Susan sighed slightly thinking about Chloe.

"If I ever find her and Chloe again, you may meet her. She would like you." Susan said thinking about her niece and her trip to New York. Officer Boscorelli and Officer Yokas were so kind.

"Well, We can look for them if you want to." Luka said.

"No…It's all right." Susan looked at Luka; "You really want to marry me?" She asked him. He nodded.

"More than anything." He replied. Susan smiled softly, thinking for a moment.

"We should move in with each other first." Susan suggested. Luka nodded.

"You may be right." He said.

"I am right." Susan said, "I live in a nice house…You could move your things in…or just a toothbrush if you want." Luka smiled at her.

"Are you asking me to move in with you?" Luka asked. Susan shrugged.

"If you want to. I don't want to push you." Susan said.

"I will think about it." He said, "Your place is closer to work than mine." Susan nodded.

"And I'm a great cook. Okay, I'm not. I'm a terrible cook, but I can cook naked if you want." She said. Luka couldn't help but to laugh loudly. He loved the way Susan's mind worked.

"I might take you up on that offer." He said. Susan smiled.

"May I get back to my book?" Susan asked him. Luka nodded.

"Please. Go ahead." He said. Susan turned her attention back t her book and began to red. She wasn't really paying attention to what she was reading though.

She couldn't help but to think about her and Luka. He wanted to marry her and have her children. That thought frightened Susan, but excited her at the same time. She sighed with happiness. God, their children would be gorgeous little creatures. Bright blue eyes, dimples and light brown hair. Susan chuckled and went back to reading.
