Mark and Susan spent hours sitting curled up together on the couch talking. They had the last five years of each others' lives to catch up on. He told her about being attacked at the hospital and the effect the terrifying experience had had on him. Unbeknown to him Susan had already heard about what had happened from Carol. When Carol had called her she had almost dashed back to Chicago to be by his side but in the end decided against it because she did not want to cause him any further pain. Mark also told her about Doug leaving just before Carol found out she was pregnant and how it had all worked out in the end when Carol had taken the twins to Seattle to be with him. Susan quietly chuckled.

"What?" Mark asked looking at her questioningly.

"I don't know how they didn't realise years ago that they were meant for each other. I mean it was so glaringly obvious to everyone who knew them that they were made for each other." Susan replied.

Mark laughed. "The same could be said about us!"

She turned to look at him with a sad smile.

"But hey we got there in the end too." He continued. "Well that is assuming we are together now."

"Since we spent the best part of the evening making out on your couch I would assume that we are most definitely together. I'm not in the habit of kissing random guys for no reason Dr Greene!"

"Glad to hear it Dr Lewis."

He sat up and looked at her sincerely. "I am so glad you came back"

"Me too. I just wish I had done it sooner."

"Hey, you are here now and that is all that matters. This our time and it is going to be amazing."

She leaned towards him and they became lost in each others' embrace again.

The night wore on with more reminiscing and plenty of laughter. They both felt so good being in the others' company again. It dawned on Susan that even though they had been apart for a long time and their lives had taken different paths when they were together it was as if nothing had changed. In a way it felt like the last few years hadn't happened. Despite all of her concerns about how he would react to her return deep down she had known that he would accept her back into his life. Although she never imagined that this was how they would end up after seeing each other for the first time in five years. She knew she had made the right decision.

When Mark looked at the time he could not believe it was almost midnight. The whole day had passed in a complete blur and he was sure he had experienced just about every emotion in the spectrum since she had walked back into his life that afternoon. Susan noticed him glancing at the clock. Realising the time she sat up slowly. His attention immediately returned to Susan when he felt her moving away from him.

"Where are you going?"

"It's late; I should head back to the fun factory that is Mom and Pop Lewis's." She answered in that sarcastic tone that always made him smile.

"Oh yeah...sure." He replied trying not to sound too disappointed.

He got up and followed her to the door.

"I'm off tomorrow if you want to maybe go out somewhere?"

She grinned. "Are you asking me on a date?"

"Well, uh, yeah, sure. If that's ok?" He stuttered

"Sounds like a plan." She replied before capturing his lips in a slow meaningful kiss.

The kiss quickly became more passionate and neither one of them wanted it to end. As they parted breathlessly they looked into each others' eyes. They both knew what they wanted to happen next but neither one of them wanted to appear presumptuous. Mark knew it was glaringly obvious what he had in mind. He also knew that there was no way she had not noticed the reaction his body was having to her. "What the hell" He thought to himself. "I have waited years for this and I feel like I am going to burst" Before he had any more time to think about he said the word she had wanted to hear.

"Stay" It was more of a request than a question.

"Geez Mark what took you so long?!" She said before kissing him again.

As the kiss deepened they began feverishly trying rid each other of the only barrier still between them. In a matter of minutes there was a trail of hastily scattered clothes from the front door to the bedroom. Once they had made it onto the bed they both hesitated slightly. Mark couldn't even remember being this nervous his first time. Susan gazed up at him slightly worried that he had changed his mind.

"Are you ok?" She asked him quietly. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to."

"No I want to. I really want to. I just want it to be perfect."

"It's already perfect, I'm with you."

As soon as Susan said those words he knew she was right. He also knew that what had been one of the most amazing days of his life was going to be the most amazing night of his life.

As they began exploring each others' bodies nothing else mattered to either of them and as far as they were both concerned there was nothing that could shatter this blissful happiness that they had found together...........or was there?
