Yo, yo, yo... :an awkward silence insues and I stop trying to be black.: Ahem... anywho. Thanks for reviewing! Ya'll rock my socks...

Jesse's POV

"I'm soooo not messing around anymore. You better put me down, Cowboy." Susannah shouted, flailing in my arms. Oh, she crossed the line now.

"What did you call me?" I asked her curiously, as a smile formed on my face.

A look of horror began to fill her face as realization of what I was about to do sunk in. "Oh, no, Jesse. I just straightened my hair this morning! You better not get it wet."

I was about waist high in the ocean now, holding Mi Querida with one arm underneath her knees and another cradling her back. Why would you go to the beach and not swim? She insists that the girls get tans while the guys swim and surf. I refuse to believe that. Which is exactly why I was going to get her in the water, by force.

"I'm nota cowboy..." I reminded her with a smirk as I droped her in the water. Oh, don't panic. I didn't drown her. She jumped right up in a split second, considering the water was pretty shallow. But needless to say she wasn't happu. Her hair was soaked.

"Oooohhh... Now it's war!" Susannah said with a slight chuckle as a splashing war insued. I'm not going to lie and say I was winning the battle, so I'm just not going to talk about this subject any more. But lets just continue with Susannah's Mom calling us back to shore, annoncing that lunch was ready.

Mr. Ackerman was cooking a Bar-B-Que lunch on the grill that was provided on the beach to celebrate the engagement. We were having a nice get together with family and friends for the occasion. We all sat down to eat, well, except for Mrs, Ackerman, who was still suffering from her morning sickness. She mostly just took the pictures.

We talked about the wedding plans so far, for the most part. We told everyone; everyone including Andy, Suze's mom and her 3 step brothers, Adam, CeeCee, Gina, andJerry; where it would be, when it would be, so on and so forth. Soon after, I asked Jerry to be my best man. He was there with me all throughout Med School and has been a great friend. Susannah asked Gina to be her Maid of Honor, since she knew her longer, but she repeatedly told CeeCee that both her and Gina were her best friends.

We were all laughing, having a great time, when CeeCee looked over to the ocean and asked, in a semi-surprised tone. "Hey, is that Paul Slater over there?"

Suze's POV

Well, of course, Jesse and I spun around the instant CeeCee spoke those words. And lone behold, Paul was there. But was even more surprising was the sight of him playing with a kid. It was a little girl, no older than 4 years old.

I turned to Jesse and asked quietly. "Should we go over and say hi?"

He shurged, nodding sightly. "I guess so." He then turned to the rest of the group and said. "We'll be back."

Of course, Jesse had to get up first and help me up. That's one thing I appreciate from his 19th century self. Because, let me tell ya, it's it's easy to sink in that Californian sand, even if your on a blanket. So, anyways, we walked over Paul, who was watching the little girl, who was adorable, by the way. Last time we saw eachother was at graduation. He was planning on going to College up in Seattle with with Kelly, who he was still with last time a checked, and a little bit closer tohis family. But I was wondering what he was doing down here, playing with a kid. Kinda odd, if you ask me.

"Hey, Paul." I said, causing him to turn around.

Paul's jaw dropped slightly in shock and surprise. He hadn't changed much physically, in height anyways. It was apparent in his face that he was in his 20's now. You can just tell, ya know? "Oh my God, hey Suze!" He exclaimed, followed by a hug. It was awkward for me, but mature. Just a regular greeting. I could see Jesse tense up. He still wasn't to fond of Paul, but the intense hatred they shared before was left behind in Jesse's ghostly days. We pulled apart from eachother and Paul looked over at Jesse. They, of course, exchanged a manly handshake with a few 'Hey, man.''s and 'How's it goin''s.

Around this time was when I noticed a gold band on his ring finger. Paul followed my gaze and ansered my unspoken questions. "Kelly and I got married about 3 months after high school let out."

"Really? Wow, we have missed alot. Jesse and I just got engaged, actually." I told him.

"Well, it's about time. What took you guys so long?"

"I was going to wait until Susannah got out of College but I couldn't wait another year." Jesse said with a small smirk. At that moment, the little girl, who was building a sand castle before, ran up to Paul.

"Daddy! Look what I built!" She shouted, as Paul bent down, looking over at the- WOAH! Hold the phone! He has a kid before me! How unfair is that! Those were my exact thoughts when I heard the word 'Daddy' come out of her mouth. I mean, I should have known. It's not like anyone would just start playing with some random kid... Paul's not that insane. Plus, she would have shouted 'I'm not supposed to talk to strangers'.

I looked over at Jesse, who was just as surprised. Our puzzled thoughts were abruptly cut off when Paul turned his attention away from his daughter. "Suze, Jesse. This is Katelyn. Katelyn, say Hi to Ms. Suze and Mr. Jesse."

"Hi." She said in an adorable, sweet, four year old voice. Katelyn was so cute. But she does come from good genes. I mean, the two hottest people in our graduating class? Why wouldn't they populate the world with hot and sexy kids?

"Well, hello there!" I said sweetly. We talked for about 10 more minutes. The Slater family (that being Paul, Kelly and Katelyn) decided to come down and visit everyone, including his Grandpa. As it turns out, there might be a new shifter in the world, and they wanted to bring her to meetGreat-Grandad Slaski, who's in his 80's now and is rapidly running out of time. And, oh yeah, Kelly found out about Paul's super powers. And doesn't think he's a freak. True love really found them, I guess.

And then, we gave him a rundown of Suze and Jesse land. Blah blah blah. Anyways, we ended with the typical:

Paul: We should get together for lunch next time were in town.
Me: That would be great!

You get the idea. Paul left to meet up with Kelly, who was out for lunch with her gang from high school. You know, the Debbie gang. We walked back up to our family and friends, and I kept thinking that life was great now. I was getting married to the man I love. Paul was completly out of my hair. Life couldn't get any better.

Well, besides the whole Mom-is-pregnant-at-46 thingand the -psycho-out-to-kill-me-again thing. Gosh, would my life every be perfect? Please...

I didn't bother with the complete dialouge between Jesse, Suze, and Paul. I mean, it would probably end up going on forever and I'm just too lazy.:-p

Anywho, review time:-D
