Chapter 5: Housewarming

Susan looked at the beaming face of Mike. Mike Delfino was standing in front of her. No this was all a terrible nightmare. She closed her eyes and opened them he was still there. He couldn't be it wasn't possible.

"Am I dreaming?" she whispered faintly. Julie looked at her mom worried at how she was reacting.

"Mom, are you okay?" she asked concerned. "Mom?"

Susan turned to her daughter giving her a reassuring smile. The smile vanished as she turned fiercely to Mike.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Mom," hissed Julie shocked at the outburst.

"I live here," smiled Mike his tone soft.

"Since when? Edie..said..that.. there was a new family moving in," she spoke clearly confused.

"Yeah I didn't want anyone to know so that was something I told the agent," he responded sheepishly.

Mike looked at Susan she was staring daggers at him. He could tell she was angry, hurt and confused with the whole situation. How could he explain to her that the only reason he came back was to be next to her? So that he knew she was safe and he could see her everyday.

"Why did you come back?" she asked her voice painful.

"Because when I saw you and Julie the other day. I realized I missed the place, the people," he answered looking straight into her eyes.

Julie noticed the apparent tension between her mom and Mike. Something wasn't right between them. Her mom seemed like she was ready to burst into tears any moment now.

"If you really cared about me…I mean the people here then you would never have left," she argued looking at him with a steely gaze.

Mike opened his mouth to speak but was unsure of what to say. He looked at her sad figure. He desperately wanted to reach out and touch her. To pull her into his arms and kiss away all the sadness. To promise her that he was never leaving again.

"Mike, sweetie what's taking so long?" came the loud voice.

Susan looked up softly as Jennifer came up behind Mike and stand next to him. She watched as the blond-haired woman clasped her hand onto Mike's arm. Did she move here with Mike? How could he come back and flaunt his relationship with his new girlfriend in front of her?

"Hi it's Susan and Julie right? I didn't know you lived here," spoke Jennifer with a slight scowl.

"Yeah we do Ginger. Have you moved here with Mike?" smiled Julie taking an instant dislike to the woman. Mike smiled slightly trying to keep back his laughter.

"Actually it's Jennifer and no I'm just helping Mikey move in."

"Jennifer, Ginger sounds kinda similar," said Julie shrugging her shoulders.

Susan looked at her daughter silently telling her to shut up. Julie rolled her eyes playfully. Susan glanced at Mike only to see Jennifer draped all over him.

"Err..we have to go. Come on Julie we have that thing," she spoke needing to get away from him.

"What thing? Come on mom lets stay here and talk to Mike," pleaded the teen.

"NOW JULIE," demanded Susan walking back to her house without so much as a goodbye.

Julie smiled at Mike and hugged him tightly. He freed his arm from Jennifer and hugged her back just as warmly.

"It's nice to have you back Mike and my mom thinks so too she's just angry," she spoke reassuringly.

"It's nice to be back. I think you better go," he spoke looking in the direction of their house.

"Okay but I'm gonna come by later and see Bongo," she smiled waving and running back towards her house.

Mike turned to go back in his own house only for Jennifer to block his way. "I think we need to talk."

"Okay so talk," spoke Mike walking into the house and picking up a box. Furious that he wasn't paying her any attention she grabbed his arm. "Mike listen to me."

He threw the box on the floor. "Okay talk."

"Why did you move here?" she asked pointedly.

"What do you mean? I moved here cos it's my home," he smiled.

"Home? Your home is in LA. I have been asking you to move there with me but you always said no. The minute you see your ex-girlfriend and her bratty daughter…"

"Don't talk about Julie like that," he hissed menacingly.

"So I'm right you did move here to be with them again. Your ex lives just across the street," she yelled.

"Keep your voice down," he whispered.

"Why? Is she going to be paying you late night visits when I'm not here," she spat her whole body fuming with rage.

"Look Jen, I'm with you aren't I. What more do you want?"

"I..errrr…"

"There's nothing for you to worry about Susan is just a friend. She's moved on with her life," he whispered.

"Promise?" she asked looking at him.

Mike nodded his head walking upstairs. "I have to unpack the rest of my things."

Susan was pacing around the lounge furiously and Julie was beginning to get dizzy from her actions.

"Mom can you sit down?" she asked.

Susan looked at her daughter throwing her hands up in the air. "Mike…oh my god..Mike," she babbled nervously.

"Mom you're making no sense," smiled Julie.

"Julie..it's Mike…Mike Delfino…Mike."

"I see you haven't forgotten his name," grinned Julie.

Susan slumped on the couch. "Why Julie? Why is he back?"

Julie took her mom's hand softly in her own. "Mom, maybe he was telling the truth when he said he missed us. He missed you."

"If he ever missed me he wouldn't have stayed away for so long," she whispered sadly. "He should have stayed away. I don't need him in my life," she yelled her tone becoming angry.

"Mom, what happened between you and Mike?" asked Julie softly.

"What do you mean?" asked Susan looking at her.

"Ever since that lunch date," she began.

"It was not a date. It was just lunch," defended Susan.

"Okay but ever since then you've been…you've not been yourself," she spoke quickly.

"What? Of course I've been myself," argued Susan standing up. She walked towards the window.

"Mom come on I know something is wrong," responded Julie.

"Julie I'm fine," she replied.

"Mom?"

"I'm fine Julie don't you have some homework to do?" she asked walking away.

"Fine," relented Julie. "Maybe I'll ask Mike," she muttered under her breath and going upstairs.

The Next Day

Susan yawned tiredly walking down the stairs in a soft silk gown and white fluffy slippers rubbing her eyes. It was only 6 am but she couldn't sleep. Frowning slightly she filled up a glass of water drinking it down thirstily. She looked out at her quiet little neighborhood. Everyone was probably still asleep.

Opening her door she walked outside to fetch the newspaper. Just as she was about to reach for it when she heard a low growl startling her. Looking up she saw a dog stood next to her house, not just any dog. It was Bongo with Mike. Mike who was in a soft t-shirt and shorts stood there smiling at her. She cringed inwardly pulling her gown tighter around her slender frame.

"Morning Susan," he greeted happily.

"Err..yeah morning. It's a little early I thought everyone would still be asleep," she spoke shyly holding her gown.

"Yeah I got up early and went for a jog," he smiled. "You don't have to be shy it's nothing I haven't seen before," he murmured huskily.

Susan felt a shiver go up her body at his comment. "I…err…jog.."

"What?" asked Mike amused at the situation.

"Jog…nice..jog?" she asked nervously shuffling her feet.

"Yeah," he grinned. "You should do it with me sometime."

"Do it?" she asked her eyes widening in assumption.

"Jog, you should come with me sometime," he laughed lightly crossing his arms. He walked towards her standing directly in front of her.

"I..don't..jog," she began. Why was she finding it so difficult to say something in front of him? She looked up and he was grinning at her. Why was he smiling?

"Suz, there you are," spoke Ron coming out and hugging her from behind.

Mike watched as his arms settled across her waist. The way she softly surrendered and kneeled back into his embrace. Susan looked up and noticed Mike staring at them. She suddenly felt uncomfortable and moved away from Ron.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"I got a call from the hospital apparently they have this operation and I need to be there," he smiled. He turned to the guy who was standing there looking at Susan. "I'm Ron and you are?"

"Mike Delfino," answered Susan hurriedly. "He used to live here and now he's back," she laughed forcibly.

"Nice to meet you," smiled Ron. "So you and Susan must know each other pretty well?"

"Yeah we were friends," interrupted Susan not giving Mike a chance to respond.

"Friends," responded Mike looking at Ron.

"Great well I have to go. I'll see you soon," he smiled kissing Susan softly. "Nice meeting you Mike we should grab a beer sometime."

"Sure," he responded flatly. He watched as Ron sped off down the street. Turning back to Susan he was disappointed to find she had gone back inside. With a defeated sigh Mike turned back in the direction of his own house.

Susan was stood outside on the street anxiously glancing down the road every few seconds. There was still no sign of him. She looked at her watch and sighed maybe she should call them again. Did they not realize that she had better things to do? Looking down the street once again she grumbled angrily and started walking up her porch when Mike stepped in front of her.

"Oh great just what I need," she mumbled.

Mike heard the soft whisper and smiled. "Who are you mad at?"

"You and the stupid plumber," she revealed.

"Plumber?"

"Yeah I called him this morning and he still hasn't turned up. It's now been 4 hours," she sighed.

"I can take a look," suggested Mike.

"No, you're not my plumber anymore. So you can just go rescue a dog or something," she bit back.

"Oh come on Susan. I'm gonna go grab my tools and I'll be right there," he smiled running towards his house.

Susan groaned loudly walking back into her house. She poured herself a large glass of red wine. She heard the soft knock on her door and unwillingly went to answer it.

"That was quick."

"Drinking already," grinned Mike.

"None of your business besides I need some alcohol if I'm going to be in the same room as you," she retaliated her tone harsh. "Do you want a drink?"

"Sure I could use a beer," he responded. She wasn't making this easy. He had hoped that they could have some sort of a friendly conversation. "So where's the problem?"

She handed him his beer and broke the intense gaze they were sharing pushing her back up against the wall. Why was he so good looking? She looked at him, her eyes roaming over his body. He looked so good in his tight-fitting black t-shirt and figure hugging jeans. A warm shiver ran through her body. As good as he looked in clothes he looked even better without them.

'The way his muscular frame felt against her naked….'

"Stop it," she spoke aloud shaking her head.

"What?" asked Mike clearly confused.

"Nothing, nothing…it's…I..think the sink is leaking," she explained. Mike nodded silently and knelt on the floor observing the problem.

"So…now that I'm back you can call me if you need anything fixing," he spoke softly.

"Why would I do that? I like the new guy," she responded busily playing with the hem of her top.

Mike reached for a tool laughing lightly. "He's not very reliable."

"So neither are you," she snapped. 'How dare he tell her what to do?' "I don't recall asking for your opinion."

"I was just offering some friendly advice," he sighed.

"Yeah well friendly advice is what friends give to their other friends," she fumed. "We are not friends."

Mike was hurt at the words but decided not to show her how much. He sat up quickly and started putting his tools back.

"Yeah, you're right. I fixed the problem but I dunno you might need a new part or something. You should tell that to your new plumber."

"Fine I will," came the faint response.

Mike stood up and decided to leave. He picked up his toolbox and looked at Susan softly. She moved away from him standing next to the kitchen table. Placing his toolbox on the cabinet he made a few small steps towards her.

Susan stood there unsure of what to do. "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Susan I don't want things to be this bad between us," he spoke.

"You should have thought of that before you left," she responded looking up at him painfully.

"I know…but there is still something there," he began.

"There's nothing Mike. I don't want to be your friend. I don't want to be anything to you," she responded trying to keep her voice strong.

"You don't mean that," he argued. "I know you felt something the other week."

"I didn't," she denied shaking her head.

Mike moved even closer and Susan was kneeling against the table. She suddenly felt like a prisoner in her own home. Her heartbeat was racing at his close proximity.

He reached out gently touching her cheek. "You didn't feel anything?"

"Nothing," came the soft whimper.

She watched as he leaned forwards, their eyes meeting. His lips only inches away. She could feel his warm breath on her face. See the passion in his eyes. He was just about to meet her lips when Susan heard the key turning in the door. Quickly she moved from under Mike and knelt against the wall.

"Mom I'm back," called Julie walking into the kitchen surprised to see Mike there. "Mike what are you doing here?"

"Mike just came by to fix the pipes and now he's leaving," stated Susan.

"Why don't you stay for dinner? We can catch up," offered Julie.

"It's fine Julie maybe another time," he smiled. He looked at Susan but she refused to meet his gaze. Picking up his tools he walked towards the door.

"I'm having a housewarming party Friday night and I would love it if you both came."

"We can't," shrugged Susan.

"We'd love to," smiled Julie refuting her mother's answer.

"Great I'll see you then," smiled Mike.

Julie nodded and turned to her mother who had disappeared and gone upstairs. "Great what happened now?"

The Following Day

Susan had been keeping herself locked inside the house. She didn't want to go outside for fear of running into Mike. She was just about to head to the basement when she heard a soft knock on the door. Opening it slowly she was surprised to see her friends rush in hurriedly.

"What's going on?"

"Well you didn't turn up for poker again. So we bought poker to you," smiled Lynette holding up a bag of chips.

"That was nice of you all but I really don't feel well," she said feigning illness.

"Yeah and the reason for that is your ex-boyfriend moving back into the street. Believe me we were all just as surprised as you," sympathized Gabrielle.

"Yes I couldn't believe it. He was there on his front lawn acting like everything was okay," replied Bree angry at him for hurting her friend.

Susan's lower lip began to tremble and she rubbed her hands up and down her arm.

"I..err..," she began. "I don't know why he's here."

Bree pulled her friend into a hug. "Oh sweetie it's okay. You have every right to be angry."

Susan nodded her head in agreement. "I don't care anymore. Mike is free to do whatever he wants."

"That's the best attitude to have," encouraged Lynette. They all waked towards the kitchen sitting at the table.

"What about Friday night. Are you going to his housewarming?" asked Gabrielle biting on a pretzel.

"I dunno Julie is intent on us making an appearance but I'm not so sure," revealed Susan.

"Well we're not going to go," offered Bree.

"What? No you can't do that," protested Susan.

"Honey we're not going to go if it upsets you. Carlos and Tom can go together," suggested Gabrielle.

"No it's not fair for you all not to go. I mean Mike has just moved back and it would be unfair," she whispered.

"But sweetie. What about…." started Lynette.

"No you guys it's fine please go to the party. I'd feel guilty if you didn't," suggested Susan looking at her friends warmly.

"Okay I'll go with Tom but only if you're okay with it," responded Lynette looking at her for confirmation.

Susan nodded her head and smiled brightly. "I'm fine besides I will be seeing Ron that night."

Bree smiled at her friend before handing out the poker cards.

Friday Night

Julie walked down the stairs seeing her mom sat on the couch with Ron. "Mom you're not ready yet?"

Susan looked up at the sound of her daughter's voice. "No Julie I'm not gonna go. You can if you want to."

"But mom we have to go. Mike's expecting us," she sighed. "Plus Mrs Van de Kamp and your friends will be there."

"That's just too bad. I am not in the mood," replied Susan a determined look on her face.

"Go where?" asked Ron nosily.

"Not important. We're going to stay in and watch DVD's," she smiled turning to her boyfriend.

"No we were supposed to go to a party at Mike's," scowled Julie.

"Mike? Isn't that the guy who just moved back?" asked Ron wondering why Julie was so anxious to go to a party of his.

"Yeah he's having a housewarming thing tonight," explained Susan reaching for a magazine.

"Well, why don't you go? I though he was your friend?" he asked seemingly confused.

"Not really," mumbled Susan.

"Come on mom, Mike's our friend."

"Fine but I'm only staying for half an hour," she spoke pointedly looking at her daughter.

Julie hugged her happily. "Great I told Danielle I was going to meet her there so you've got time to get changed."

Susan looked at her daughter quizzically. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

"Mom it's a party," she smiled. Susan laughed softly before going upstairs to get changed.

Mike was enjoying himself. It was nice to see everyone and catch up on what he missed over the past year. He looked at his watch, the one person he missed the most out of everyone didn't turn up. He was hoping Susan would come by but she refused to show up.

"So Mike is it serious with Jennifer?" asked Carlos taking a sip of his beer.

Mike looked to where his girlfriend was standing trying to engage Susan's friends into a conversation. He was hoping that Jennifer wouldn't come by tonight but fate was not on his side and she stubbornly decided to stay for the party.

"Ummm..it's….I..don't think so," he began. He heard a soft rapping on his door and excused himself to answer it.

He opened the door and saw her stood there. She had come Mike looked at her nervously. She looked beautiful wearing a soft cream-colored dress that accentuated her curves.

"You going to let us in," smirked Ron. Mike turned his attention to the young doctor. "Yeah come in."

Ron walked into he house whilst Julie hugged Mike tightly.

"Hey Julie I'm glad you came."

"Yeah we almost didn't," replied the teen looking at her mom.

Susan was stood on the outside of the door nervously biting her lower lip. "Here a housewarming gift. It's not much..but.."

Mike took the plant from her outstretched hands. "Just like the first time I moved here," he smiled recalling how she came up to his house with a plant introducing herself and welcoming him to the neighborhood.

He could tell she was starting to get nervous and moved to the side to let her pass through. Susan wordlessly moved past Mike into the house. She scanned the garden for her friends and let out a sigh of disappointment when she saw Jennifer standing next to them. She walked towards them greeting them as cheerfully as she could.

"Susan you came," smiled Bree hugging her friend.

"Julie insisted and here I am," she laughed forcefully.

"Well I'm glad you're here," smiled Gabrielle. "I have got to tell you about Edie's latest exploits."

As if on cue Edie walked into the house with Karl making her way towards them. "Mayer I didn't expect to see you here. "

"Hi Edie it's nice to see you too," smiled Susan.

Edie turned to Jennifer noticing the scowl plastered on her face. "And who might you be?"

Bree looked at Edie sternly whilst Susan wished the ground would swallow her up.

"I'm Jennifer," she announced proudly looking at Susan. "Mike's girlfriend."

"Really?" asked Edie raising her eyebrow. "You don't seemhis type."

"And what is his type?" asked Jennifer angrily.

"Someone sweet and fun and kooky. Someone like Sus…," she began only for Susan to pull her by the arm dragging her inside towards the privacy of the kitchen.

"Susan what the hell are you doing?" she demanded.

"What am I doing? What the hell are you doing Edie?" she yelled more than a little angry.

"What? I was just pointing out a fact," she smiled innocently. "And that is not Barbie's natural hair color either."

"Edie stop it," groaned Susan reaching for a bottle of champagne. She poured generous amounts into two glasses handing one to Edie.

"Can you please not say anything else," she pleaded.

"Fine," sighed Edie rolling her eyes. "I don't know why you're so mad. I thought you'd be happy to have me on your side."

Susan grumbled softly and walked back outside noticing that Jennifer wasn't standing next to the rest of the girls anymore.

Susan smiled as Gabby told everyone of Carlos's spending habits on their baby. She was with her friends and despite the earlier incident was actually enjoying herself. She did her best to avoid Mike and it seemed to be working.

"These cramps are killing me," moaned Gabrielle soothingly rubbing her stomach.

"Only a few days now," smiled Susan. "The first time your baby looks at you. You'll know that there is nothing more beautiful in this world."

"Exactly how I felt," agreed Lynette. "Now the twins are little terrors."

Susan saw Karl walking up to them and groaned.

"Susie Q, ladies what are you all up to?" he asked.

Edie smiled at her husband. "They are all getting broody."

"Well Susie Q your little doctor and ex seem to not like each other," he chuckled pointing to where Ron and Mike were standing.

"Did you tell Ron about Mike being your ex?" asked Edie intrigued.

"What? No why would I? It's history," exclaimed Susan.

"So Ron knows nothing about the love of your life. The love that is standing a few feet away from him?" asked Edie.

"Edie please can we change the subject," remarked Bree.

"What? I was just asking an innocent question. Although I guess Ron would feel threatened by someone as hot as Mike."

"I need a drink," mumbled Susan hurriedly walking towards the kitchen.

Susan poured herself a glass of wine drinking it down quickly she reached for the bottle again when a voice startled her. She looked up to see Jennifer standing in front of her.

"Why did you come?" she asked.

Susan was confused by the question. "What do you mean? I came because Mike invited me and my daughter."

"He doesn't love you. He loves me," she spoke defiantly.

"That's great," she smiled moving away.

"You won't get him back."

Susan shrugged her shoulders angry that this woman was treating her like this. "I don't want him back,. You're welcome to him. Now if you don't mind I really want to go home."

Jennifer moved to the side allowing Susan to pass through. Susan looked for Ron eventually finding him talking to a bored Tom.

"Hey Susan, I should go and find Lynette. I promised he at least one dance," he smiled grateful to get away.

"Ron we should go," she spoke taking his hand.

"Now it's still early besides we haven't even danced yet," he grinned pointing at some of the paired up couples.

"Ron it's not a disco, it's a party," she sighed.

"Come on Suz the music is playing one dance," he pleaded.

Susan allowed herself to be pulled reluctantly into a free space as Ron wrapped his arms around her.

A hundred day have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight

It's only you and me

Susan tightened her arms around Ron's chest as the soft music played and they swayed gently to the rhythm. She looked up and saw Mike dancing with Jennifer. She felt her eyes filling up with tears at the image. He looked happy with her. Mike looked up and suddenly their gazes locked.

The miles just keep rolling

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl

It's only you and me

Mike watched Susan as she danced with Ron. He held her gaze their eyes never drifting from each other. It was as if the song was meant for them. Did Susan know that he spent each night thinking about her? Did she feel the same? He could see the pain in her soft hazel eyes and wished so much to take it away. He had Jennifer in his arms but he didn't want her. He wanted Susan, the only person who made him feel as if he truly belonged.

Everything I know

And anywhere I go

It gets hard but it won't take away my live

And when the last one falls

When it's all said and done

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl

It's only you and me

Susan felt a warm trickle down her cheek. She hastily pulled away from Ron. "I'm sorry I just need the bathroom," she whispered running into the house.

Mike watched as Susan painfully ran away. He moved away from Jennifer.

"What are you doing?" she asked confused.

"I'm the host I need to go and get some more beers," he mumbled walking away.

Susan had found herself upstairs in Mike's bedroom. She didn't know what she was doing there but she felt safe. It hurt seeing him with Jennifer. She was supposed to be happy with Ron. But seeing Mike's arms wrapped around Jennifer hurt more than she thought possible. Why was she feeling like this? He left her without a word. She walked towards the window gazing at the night sky.

She remembered doing the exact same thing when she was with Mike except he would be with her holding her gently in his embrace. She felt a small tear trickle down her cheek.

"Why did you leave me Mike? I loved you so much."

Mike was looking everywhere for Susan when he heard the faint cry come from his closed bedroom door. Cautiously he opened it and saw Susan kneeling against the window tears falling down her cheeks.

She didn't hear him come in until she felt a hand on her arm. She glanced up softly to see Mike staring back at her.

"I'm sorry I just needed to be alone," she explained.

"It's okay you don't need to apologize," he replied his voice hoarse.

Susan looked up at him and saw tenderness within his eyes. She felt more tears threatening to consume her and wrapped her arms around herself protectively.

"I should go…I..have..things..to do," she whispered moving forwards.

Mike nodded his head sadly. Susan walked past him and he gently grabbed her arm.

"Susan?"

The whisper of her voice was so soft. She found herself crying once again. Mike gently wiped away the fallen tears with his thumb.

"Mike…please.."

He placed his lips to hers ever so gently. Susan remained impassive the only feeling was of his lips softly nipping at hers. Mike wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her towards his chest. Susan sighed at the contact and moaned softly at the action. Mike deepened the kiss spanning his hand across the expanse of her back.

His tongue traced the soft swell of her bottom lip. Susan parted her lips allowing his tongue to enter her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rose up on her toes no longer able to deny the hunger he awoke in her.

A few several and long heated kisses later Mike pulled away placing soft kisses along the nape of her neck. Susan gasped as his tongue played with her skin. "Mike…"

"Mrs Solis have you seen my mom?" asked Julie walking up to her.

"She was here dancing a few minutes ago," replied Gabrielle. "Sweetie can you help me up?"

"Sure," smiled Julie offering her hand.

Gabrielle stood up a frozen expression on her face. "Oh crap."

"Mrs Solis, What is it? What's wrong?" asked Julie concerned.

"I..my..water just broke. CARLOS! CARLOS!" she yelled loudly in panic.

Carlos rushed to the sound of his wife's' yelling. "Gabby what is it?"

Bree noticed the look in her friend's eyes and smiled. "I think the baby's coming."

"Oh my god," mumbled Carlos. "Come on we need to get to the hospital."

Gabrielle nodded her head and looked at her friends. "Bree, Lynette I need you guys there and Susan."

"Don't worry we'll be right behind you," assured Bree grabbing her purse. "Where's Susan?"

"Mrs Van de Kamp I'll find my mom and we'll follow you to the hospital," offered Julie.

Carlos, Gabrielle, Bree, Lynette all left hurriedly thorough the door talking excitedly amongst themselves.

Julie went back in the garden but couldn't see her mom anywhere. She walked towards Ron but decided against it. She couldn't see Mike either. 'Where the hell were they?'

Mike continued kissing Susan moving her backwards gently they fell onto the soft bed. He nipped at her lips hungrily tasting the sweet flesh. Susan arched against him pulling at the hem of his t-shirt pulling it over his head and throwing it hastily across the room. She ran her fingers over his firm chest and dragged her hands towards the top of his jeans.

Mike held his body above hers as he kissed his way down her neck. "I missed you more than you know."

His words were a soft murmur against her skin. He ran his hands lightly over her bare arms with one hand drifting to cup her breast through the material of her dress. Susan sighed and leaned forward to kiss him again.

"Mom? Mom are you up here?" came the faint voice. "Mom?"

Susan was pulled out of her stupor and looked at her surroundings. What was she doing? Why was she kissing Mike? It was wrong everything was all wrong. She pushed him away softly moving from the bed.

"Susan?" he spoke reaching for her but she flinched away harshly.

"No Mike..this…shouldn't have happened," she protested.

"But it did," he spoke moving forwards.

"No Mike you can't just kiss me and pretend like everything's okay. It is not okay," she whispered her voice faltering.

She quickly walked out of the room seeing her daughter walking up the stairs.

"Julie what's wrong?" she asked a false smile on her face.

"Mom where were you? Gabby she's at the hospital. She's having the baby," explained Julie.

"Oh my god we need to go now," she spoke following her daughter.

Susan watched as Mike came out of his bedroom. With one last look she turned away leaving him alone again and breaking her heart in the process.
