DISCLAIMER: Meg Cabot owns all! But I own the plot.
Thanks for the wonderful reviews! Here's chappy 4. Enjoy!
Jesse's POV
"Did you ask her, yet?" Jason, my friend and co-worker, asked me as I walked into the Pediatrician center of the hospital. I could already spot my first patient of the day coughing and sniffling. Once he noticed the broad smile on my face, he said, following me into my office. "Congrats, man. I told you that was the ultimate resturant to propose in. That's where all the guys go in Carmel."
"Thanks," I said."but I didn't propose there. I asked her atthe beach."
"Oooh, nice..." Jason said. "So, have you thought of when your gonna tie the knot?"
I nodded. "Probably sometime in June. Susannah always wanted a June wedding."
"Woah dude, you better start planning for it." He said, before walking out to face one of the young patients in the waiting room.
Again, I'm confused. Apparently what Susannah had caught me up on the life in the 21st century, she forgot to mention how much marrage has changed. Figuring I would ask her about it at lunch, I faced my first patient.
Suze's POV
"Goin' to the Chapel and we're gonna get ma-a-aried..." Yes, I was singing. Well, can you blame me? But I immediatly stoped when the door to the elevator I was waiting on, in the hospital, opened up. I was kinda surprised to see my Mom and Andy walking out.
"Mom? What are you doing at the hospital?" I asked curiously. I was kind of expecting her to say something like 'the guy next door fell off a roof'. But what she did say... I wasn't expecting it at all.
"Suzie! What a surprise! Your probably here to see Jesse aren't you?" I nodded, urging her to continue. After a deep breath, she said. "Well, my period was late so I figured that I had hit menopause. I mean, I'm 46. But as it turns out I havn't. I'm pregnant."
I think my complete and total shock appeared on my face. I immediatly tried to cover it up by giving her a strong hug and saying. "Congratualtions!" And then it hit me. I was going to have a little brother or sister. "Oh my God. I'm going to have a little brother or sister!" Tears of joy began to sting my eyes. "Oh, wow! I'm so happy for you! Lemme call Jesse and tell him to come down."
Pulling out my phone, I called my Fiance's cell(Gosh, don't y ou just love that word?).
"Why, hello, Quierda. I thought you were coming over for lunch." He said over the reciever.
"I was on my way up when I bumped into my Mom and Andy. Jesse, she's pregnant." I said, unable to hide the excitement.
"Oh wow... I'll be down in a sec. Meet me in the Cafeteria."
"'Kay. Love you."
"I love you too."
Then we hung up.
About 5 minutes later, we were standing outside the Cafetieria. It's not excatly a lunch date anymore, but plans have definatly changed. Jesse walked up, wearing his doctor's jacket and looking sexy as ever, immediatly giving me a kiss on the lips.It was just a light one, because we were fully aware of Mom and Andy, standing there. Jesse pulled away and said "Hello,Quierda."beforeturning to my Mom, saying as he gave her a hug.
"Congratulations! What a surprise." I think Jesse was hungry because he led us in the Cafetieria.
While we were sitting there, with our trays in front of us, I asked. "So, when are you due?"
She took a sip of her water before speaking. "Late June. So, about the wedding, I was thinking maybe like the first week of June. That way, you can get married, have your honeymoon, and be back just in time for when the baby arrives."
I looked over at Jesse, who seemed to think it was a good idea considering he said. "That sounds like a plan." Very observant, Suze...
"Well, now that's settled, I know this amazing wedding planner who was on the station a month or so ago and I'm sure I can get you guys a great deal." Mom told us as we ate. The food in the cafetieria
"Mom... we just want a small wedding. Nothing big. Just close friends and family." I told her.
"You'll still have to get thecake, decorations, food... and many other things and Abigail can get you the best, cheapest deals. Suze, she's just an extra hand." She told Jesse and me.
I looked over at Jesse, who kept his hand in mine, as he said. "It's your choice, Quierda." I smiled slightly, before turning to my mom.
Letting out an exasperated sigh, I said. "OK. But if she starts going nuts and gets ice scuplture's, she's outta here."
About 15 minutes later, Mom and Andy left, leaving Jesse, his lips,and my neck to themselves. Soon enough, it was a full blown makeout session. I know, I know... PDA. But we weren't really paying attention to the others in the room, ya know? "SO, future-wife-of-mine, I will be cooking a wonderful spagetti dinnertonight. I do hope you will be coming with a movie of your choice."
I smiled, saying. "I most definatly will,future-husband-of-mine."
