Previously on Surprise.....
"I love you Jesse. And I'm doing this for you because you deserved to be known and remembered forever." My mom and family looked at me like I was nuts.
"Susie, honey who are you talking too?"

Taking a deep breath I looked into my moms eyes. She wore a confused expression, but underneath her confusion I could see a trace of anger.
"Mom if you're worried that my baby is not going to have a father, you're worrying for nothing." My mom looked visually relieved as my words sunk in.
"But Susie, who you're not married?" The question. This was what I was waiting for the chance to explain to my mom that I just didn't fool around with one of my boyfriends and get myself into trouble. This was it.
"Mom, I'm going to tell you something and you have to promise you won't be mad at me for not telling you." My mother nodded again confused. "Mom I've been married for three years." My mom just looked at me. There was so much hurt on her face that tears filled my eyes.
Jesse saw this and wiped them away then kissed my forehead and told me everything would be all right.
"Why didn't you tell us?" I heard my mom's voice. I tore my eyes away from my husband, and looked at her. Then I simply said
"You wouldn't have believed me."
"Yes we would have we would've been happy for you Suze. I don't understand any of this. My only daughters married and pregnant and I knew nothing about it." She kinda said the last part to herself. I felt horrible but one look at Jesse and everything was okay.
"That's not the part you wouldn't believe me on mom. It's who I married not that I married."
"Is he that bad honey? Does he hit you? If he does I'm going to tear him limb from limb." This was Andy who spoke up until now had been silent. Brad, Jake, and David nodded in agreement with their father's statement.
"God you guys think I'm stupid. I would never marry anybody like that. Jesse is the kindest man I have ever met. He has treated me with nothing but love and respect from the day we met."
"Then why didn't you tell us about him Suze." It was Doc who spoke this time. I took a deep breath.
"Because I didn't marry just anybody David, I married a dead man." The whole room was silent. Then all at once my whole family, save for Jesse went,
"What!?!"
ather Dominic was the next to react.
"Well Susannah you could have put it easier than that. That was most blunt of you."
"I know, I know, but Father Dom I didn't know how else to do it! I mean they were asking if Jesse hit me! I mean really I just wanted the truth out there as fast as I could." Jesse looked at me.
"Querida I think you should get back to your parents. Your mother does not look well." I turned to face my mom. Jesse was right it looked like she was hyperventilating. This was not good.
"Umm, Jesse you wanna help me with this?"
"You mean he's here? There's a ghost in my house and it's married to my daughter. And she's gotten herself pregnant!" My mother was spazing out. But at least she believed me that was good. Right?
"I knew it! I knew you liked him Suze!" Doc exclaimed. "It was too obvious. I knew the reason you never dated was because of him, I just never knew you two were married. Why didn't you tell me? I would have believed you." Then he looked around, before adding; "Both of you."
"David we almost did tell you but we didn't want to burden you with keeping it from everyone." My mom looked at David but then looked at me like she didn't even want to know.
"I think that we need to explain this to everybody." Father D. finally said. So explain we did.
We told them everything, starting from the first ghost on. We told them about Jesse's death and how we lived together, about the RLS angels, about Paul, the party, the fight, the wedding, and everything in between.
When we were done it was 9:30 at night. They were pretty much shocked. All except for David I mean. They really didn't say much through our whole explanation, sure they asked questions and they acted a little scared when my memory failed and I asked Jesse for some help.
"Well Susie I know you wouldn't do something like this for fun so I guess in some round about way I believe you. But I do know that after all I was just told I would like some proof." I knew that was coming so I looked to Father Dom and Jesse and said
"Don't worry guys I'll show my proof then Jesse can do a little something to let them know he's here afterward." I turned to my mom and family and said. "We need to go somewhere. I know this may seem strange but I will explain why we're there when we arrive."
With that I walked out the house. Jesse was close on my heels followed by the Father, my mom, Andy, David, Brad, and Jake. Everyone was in the car except Jesse and me. As soon as everyone was inside and the doors were closed Jesse pulled me into a hard hug.
"I assume you know where I'm taking them." I said while he held me. I never wanted to leave his arms and I hoped I never had to.
"Of course I do Querida. How could I not?" this is why I love my husband, we are always on the same page.
"I'll meet you there in about ten minutes. I love you Jesse remember that." And with that I kissed him and got into the car and headed toward the mission.
