Susan was engaged. It was an amazing feeling. She was engaged to an amazing person and she had a wonderful niece under her care. Things were going so well for them.

"So, should I be Susan Kovac or Susan Lewis-Kovac?" She asked as the two of them sat in the lounge. Luka smiled.

"I think it should be Susan Kovac." He said, "Is sounds fine."

"Yeah it dose doesn't it?" Susan smiled softly. She looked at her fiancee. "Do you want to eat out tonight?" Luka nodded.

"I don't feel like cooking tonight." He said. "We'll pick Suzie up and we can head on over to Williamson." Susan nodded.

"A table for three in non smoking please." Luka said.

"Right this way sir." The hostess said leading the three of them to the back to a booth. Suzie slid in and Luka slid in next to her.

"Do they have spagetti here? I could really go for some Spagetti." Suzie said. Luka chuckled and nodded.

"They have a lot of spagetti here, Angel." He said looking through a menu.
"Suzie has the right idea." Susan said, "Spagetti sounds good."

"Told ya." Suzie giggled.

"You're just a smart little girl." Luka said as he glanced over the menu. Now that everyone was talking about spagetti, it's all Luka could think about. He nodded, "I think I might get that as well." Susan smirked.

"What a smart little boy." Susan winked as the waitress walked up to them.

"My name is Carmella and I will be your server tonight. What can I get you to eat?" Carmella asked.

"We'll have three pasta platters, two diet cokes and a small sprite." Susan nodded. Carmella nodded and wrote this all down.

"I'll be right back with your drinks.' She said.

"Aunt Suzie, Am I gonna be Suzie Kovac when you get married?" Suzie asked.

"No. Your Mommy is still Chloe." Susan said.

"Can't you don't me." Suzie said.

"Adopt." Luka corrected her.

"That's what I said. Adopt." Suzie said. Susan smiled softly.

"I would love o adopt you, but your Mommy still loves you." Susan said.

"If my Mommy loved me then why did she leave me with you?" Suzie asked. Susan bit her lip. "I'm tired of her being my Mommy. I want you to be my Mommy and Luka to be my daddy. I want to be in a real family." Luka looked at her.

"You are in a real family and I will always be your daddy." Luka said, "I love you like a daughter and that will never change whether Susan is your Mommy or Chloe is your Mommy." Susan smiled softly at her fiancee. Suzie nodded.

"I love you too." Suzie said as Carmella set their drinks down in front of them, "Can I call you my daddy even if it's just in private?" Luka smiled and nodded.

"If you want to." He said. Susan looked at him and smiled softly. Yes, he would make a great father for her future children. She couldn't wait to have them with him and experience Motherhood with his help.

Abby watched Susan and Luka as they giggled in front of their lockers. They seemed to be really happy. Abby couldn't help but to be a tad jealous about it. She wanted to get married and be happy. If John wasn't so stubborn...or maybe it was her. Susan looked at Abby.

"You need something?" Susan asked.

"No. I just wanted to make sure you two were off and all your patients were handed off.' Abby said. Luka nodded.

"I cleared all of my patients." He said.

"Me too." Susan said. Abby smiled weakly.

"All right...Bye..." Abby quickly walked out of the room. Susan sighed.

"I'll be right back." Susan jogged out of the room. "Hey! Abby, wait up." Abby stopped in her tracks and turned around.

"Yeah?" She asked.
"Is everything all right?" Susan asked. Abby nodded.

"Yeah. Why?" She asked.

"You just seemed a little...Weird." Susan said.

"Weird about what?" Abby asked. Susan chuckled.

"Me and Luka...For a moment you did." Susan said, "Fess up."

"I'm not weird about the two of you. I think it's great." Abby said. Susan arched her eyebrow. "I'm jealous is all."

"Jealous?" Susan chuckled, "Why?"

"Because I want to be where you and Luka are. I want to be married to John." Abby said as Kerry yelled for her, "I'll see you tomorrow all right?" Susan nodded. Luka walked up behind his fiancee.

"Is everything all right with Abby?" Luka asked.

"I have an idea." Susan said, "I'll be right back."

"What?" Luka asked.

"I'll be right back I said." Susan ran off. Luka sighed.

"This can't be good." He said.

* * *

"Carter, could you come out here for a moment?" Susan stood outside the room. John nodded and patted his patient's leg.

"I'll be right back." he said. John walked out into the hallway, "What's up?" Susan tucked her hair behind her ears.

"How serious are you and Abby?" Susan asked. John blushed.

"What? Why?" John asked.

"She's pretty sad." Susan said, "Why haven't you proposed yet? Abby is perfect for you and You are perfect for her. I want to see the two of you happy." John rubbed his neck.

"You want me to propose to Abby?" He asked.

"Yes." Susan said.

"I um...I have been thinking about it again." He said, "I um...We are going out to eat tonight."

"Do you want to marry her?" Susan asked. He nodded.

"Very much so." He said.

"Then you know what to do." Susan smiled and turned. She walked down the hall.

* * *

"Thanks for watching her." Susan handed the baby-sitter some money.

"No problem. She is a doll. I'll see you later." The baby-sitter smiled and left. Luka yawned as he poured some coffee.

"So what was all of that earlier?" Luka asked Susan.

"All of what?" Susan asked. Luka chuckled.

"The stuff in the hallway." Luka said, "What did you do?"

"I asked Carter to propose to Abby." Susan said.

"You what?" Luka asked. Susan blushed softly as she walked to the phone.

"I just pushed them towards the right direction." Susan said.

"You were meddling." Luka said.

"I'm not Scooby Doo." She said picking up the phone.

"Scooby who?" Luka asked.

"Never mind. Pop culture." She chuckled as she called Abby's cell phone. "Abby, it's me."

"Hey." Abby said as she sat in the car.

"So?" Susan smiled.

"So what?" Abby asked.

"Well, Where's Carter?" Susan asked. Abby frowned.

"He's home. I just dropped him off." She said.

"Oh." Susan said, "So he didn't...."

"Didn't what?" Abby asked. Susan cleared her throat.

"Nothing. I need to go. Suzie is up crying. I'll see you tomorrow." Susan quickly hung up the phone. She bit her lip and sighed. Did she just scare John out of proposing to Abby or did he just not want to do it just yet?
