Part 11 of 36
The next morning Susan got dressed in a new uniform after her shower and went quickly to Marcus. She had simply to see him. Her did not remain much time, the first ship, which would dock today were going to be John and Delenn. Susan went to the docks and waited for the White-Star-Ship. It came exactly to the calculated point of time.
In the ship John and Delenn, discussed how they could bring Susan to become their witness. Normally the Russian iceberg, Susan's nickname on the station wouldn't let herself persuade to such an emotional thing. Delenn had concluded, to talk alone with Susan about the wedding after their arrival and simply to ask her.
John and Delenn alit. Susan had already some exercise with her new ability and left her blockades down. She received unmistakably the thoughts of both of them. Susan went to the ship and embraced a surprised John Sheridan. He knew Susan since some years now, but it had almost never occurred that she has embraced him.
"Welcome back to Babylon 5, Mr. President.", she teased him.
"Susan, it's good to see you. We all were worried about you. How are you?"
"Thanks, I'm fine owing to Marcus. I only worried about him." Then she gave Delenn the hand. She saw her thoughts and knew what the ambassador had on heart.
"Delenn, don't worry. It's an honour to me, to be your maid-of-honour and witness. I will take care about the preparations for a wedding on tradition of the earth." John and Delenn looked amazed at her. Susan had to laugh.
"It has much happened, while you weren't here. Perhaps we talk somewhere, where we are undisturbed."
Susan, John and Delenn went in the quarter of the ambassador, where Lennier already waited with fresh tea.
"Therefore Susan, tell us, what has happened!"
"Marcus has saved me with these healing devices. There were some small side- effects, from which we haven't known of up until now. This machine has strengthened my telepathic abilities a bit. Stephen thinks I'm a P11 now. A further side-effect is that Marcus is now also a telepath. Stephen estimates P9, but he can first say it exactly, when he has awakened from coma. These abilities give us the chance, to talk to each other. Delenn has already seen it."
"You say, that you're now a very strong telepath and have Marcus somehow infected with it. What has he said to it? However I assume you have cleared him up over this matter, haven't you?"
"Yes, I have told him, that he has these abilities now also. I have thought that he would be raging madly on me. But he wasn't. He loves me and I will help him, to evade that. If I have learned it personally. Up until now I could only block scans and suddenly I can do that personally. It is uncanny. But I'm glad, that it allows me, to talk with Marcus. It makes it much more easily."
"Then he has finally talked to you?" Delenn asked.
"Yes, he has told me, that he loves me and I love him also. I only wait that he finally awakens from coma. But Stephen says it can still last years, until he's healthy again. He improves only slowly."
"Marcus will do it. He's a fighter, besides he has a reason to get healthy again quickly."
"Thanks Delenn. I unfortunately have to go to C&C again. Corwin has taken over my last shift and since our old commander isn't there any longer, everything sticks at me again. I will take care of a minister, John."
Susan dismissed and went to her work. As first she notified Brother Theo, a monk on Babylon 5 who explored the different religions. He agreed to execute the wedding. After that the day ran down very quietly. There were no larger crises, nothing exploded, and nobody was threatened. Susan used the quiet, to prepare a list for the wedding. She absolutely had to go shopping with Delenn.
In the interim Lennier prepared still some of the rituals, which were necessary for a wedding on Minbar. The most difficult were already fulfilled.
After her shift Susan went in MedLab.

"Finally you are there Susan, you don't really know how hard it was after yesterday night, not to think about you?"
"I can imagine it. It felt similarly. John and Delenn are on the station again. They want to marry and I should be Delenn's maid-of-honour."
"Bugger! Can't they at least wait, until I feel better? However I can't miss the chance, to see you in a dress."
"Who has said that I will wear a dress?"
"However you won't go to the wedding of the president in your uniform, will you? I'm sure you look completely charming in a long, tight dress."
"You would like that surely, wouldn't you? But I promise you, that you will see me at least once in a dress. Perhaps in a white one?"
Marcus blushed and Susan grinned. "Don't worry, before it's so far, I will wear a dress to dear you. Unfortunately I must leave you alone. I must still think about my future in EarthForce. I have promised the president, to inform her on the end of the week about my decision and this is already tomorrow."
"Okay, and don't worry about me. I will follow you to everywhere. It doesn't play a role for me where you are, as long as you are with me."
"Thanks Marcus. Sweet dreams."

Susan went to the gardens to think about the offer. She was sure, that she wouldn't assume the command over the ship, although it was once her dream. However she couldn't abandon Marcus and her other friend but she wasn't sure, whether she wanted to remain here on Babylon 5 in her old position. The job was always fun, but now, where John and Michael weren't there any longer, she didn't know, whether it would still be the same. She wanted to help the person, this had Marcus shown her. However how should she do that?
Susan didn't notice that Delenn approached her. "May I sit with you Susan?"
"Sure Delenn. How far are the preparations?"
"Oh, John accomplishes just still one of the last rituals. In one week we should be finished with everything. How does it go with your preparations?"
"I have a priest, who only needs the exact day. We have two witnesses. Everything we now still need is a dress but I don't know what you are going to wear. On the earth it is custom, that the bride wears a white dress."
"Since it's a mixture, I will wear a dress of earth and the traditional cloak of my caste over it. So both races are represented. Should we look together for a dress? I'm not sure, which fits for this occasion."
"Yes, that's a good idea. What do you think about tomorrow after work? We can hide the clothes in my quarter. John may not see your dress before the wedding."
"Oh?"
"It brings misfortune. May I ask you something, Delenn?"
What do you think so far? Please R&R.
