Previously on Surprise.....
"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.

On the way over to the mission the first thing in noticed how pale my mom was. Then no matter how stupid the question sounded at this point in time. I asked,
"Mom? Are you okay?" This may not have been the smartest thing to do but I felt I had to comfort her somehow.
"I saw you. Outside the car. It was just a little strange that's all. Is he here?" oh shit. My mom saw me kiss Jesse. Or rather kiss thin air. No wonder she was freaked out.
" sorry mom I didn't realize you were watching. I didn't mean to scare you. And no Jesse is meeting us at the mission."
"The mission? Why are we headed to the mission? Dose this have something to do with Father Dominic? You two seem close." She looked at me with interest.
"Well mom when we moved out here and I found out that Father D. was a mediator also we became close. He tried to keep me from falling in love with Jesse by making him move out of my room which didn't work obviously, he helped fight against Paul and any ghosts that came our way. Over the years he and Jesse were the only ones who knew everything about my life. But you guys know now and my only regret is that it took this long and a baby on the way for me to get the courage to tell you."
By the time I finished my little speech I had tears rolling down my cheeks as did my mother. Then out of the blue Brad spoke for the first time in hours.
"I knew. All along, I knew. I wondered why know one herd him in your room. I wondered why no one at school knew about him, and why nobody even knew who he was. Then with everything that happened at that party and everything. Why Father Dominic was always around and why you went to his office for hours at a time. Why some times I would walk into a room to find you talking to someone when no one was there. But it all fits no matter what proof you have Suze I believe you." Wow it seemed to be the car ride of speeches.
We got to the mission right as Brad finished speaking. I got out of the car and hugged him hard. Then moved on to my mom and in turn hugged each of my family members including Father Dom. and ending with Jesse who held me hand as we walked toward the cemetery.
We stopped at Jesse's grave. My mom looked down at where we were standing and gasped.
"Suze is this.....? Is he......" Jake asked, fear and awe creeping into his voice.
"Yea, Jake this is it." I looked down and read the words that had become so familiar to me over the years.
Here lies Hector "Jesse" De Silva, 1830-1850, Beloved Brother, Son and Friend.
After a minute of silence I reached into my purse and pulled out something that no one but one other living person has seen before. My marriage license. Wordlessly I handed it to my mom. She looked at me then took it and read it with interest.
"It's true." She said simply. "Well if you would sacrifice this much of your life then you must love him." She looked around. "And Jesse you take care of my little girl."
Jesse looked at me and smiled as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Tell your mother not to worry. I love her daughter very much and no one on this earth or any other can drag me way from her or our baby." To show him how very much I liked his answer I kissed him gently. I relayed Jesse message to my mom. She looked pleased.
She looked back down at the piece of paper that was still in her hand. All oh the sudden she gasped and her eyes got wide. I looked over her shoulder to see what she was looking at. Then I cursed myself as I realized what my mom had seen. I forgot one very important line when I had given my license to my mom:
Witnesses to this holy union Peter A. Simion
