Sue Thomas FBEYE short story part 4

Okay, sorry I didn't post yesterday! It was kinda crazy, but this part will be extra long and extra good! In this part, I will be doing some flashbacks! (Anything in italics will be a flashbackand anything in bold italics will be a thought)Yay!

Part 4:
Sue woke up and smiled at Jack's tousled hair. She tiptoed down the hall to the childrens' rooms and peered in at the sleeping twins. Judy, like jack, slept all over the bed while Wes, like Sue, stayed curled up in one position. As she walked back to her bed room to get dressed, she thought back to how Jack proposed.

Sue walked into the bullpen the day after her "Going Away/Coming Back" party and smiled fondly at the familiar scene. Jack looked up at her, watching her pour her usual cup of hot chocolate in her favorite blue mug. It's now or never, Jack... tell her now! Jack thought. Sue watched him walk out of the bullpen with his characteristic determined stride. He walked into D's new office and sat down. "Jack, what can I help you with?" D said, shuffling papers on his desk. "I need you to use you supervisor powers to appeal a policy." Jack blurted out. D nodded knowingly. "I assume the policy you're referring to is the relationship policy?" Jack nodded and D thoughtfully strummed his fingers on his desk. "I can't do that." Jack sighed and slammed his hand on the wall. "D, I love Sue and either the policy is appealed or I quit," Jack finished. D nodded and turned a grin up to Jack. "I can't do that because I already did it. The paperwork is being finalized." Jack's smile grew wider as he shook D's hand and raced out the door. Jack told Sue and she smiled so big it lightened up the bullpen. After dating for a modest amount of time (3 months, and they were the longest 3 months Jack had ever lived through) Jack took Sue to a deaf poetry reading (Jack's least favorite thing to do, but he knew Sue loved it) Then, to Sue's surprise, he leapt onto the stage during a break in readers and spoke and signed, "Sue, I love you with all my heart. Won't you please marry me?" Sue was flabbergasted and, to the accompanied by the clapping of the poets, she walked up to the stage and accepted.

Sue smiled as she whipped up some scrambled eggs. Judy and Wes came in the kitchen sleepily clutching their matching stuffed kangaroos (a birthday gift from Uncle Bobby and Aunt Tara). "Good morning Mommy! Is breakfast ready?" Judy asked. Wes simply rested his head on Levi's back and promptly fell back asleep. Sue walked over and picked him up again. "Oh no, none of that. Aunt Allie doesn't like when you sleep in because you are hyper!" Sue remembered when Allie came to visit her one day.
Sue looked up from her novel as Levi nudged her and ran to the door. Lucy was at the gym, so Sue rose and answered it. She was shocked to find Allie, Jack's friend, standing at the door. "Hi, is this a bad time?" Allie asked. Sue shook her head and escorted her in. "I'm sorry for just showing up like this, but I think we need to talk." Sue nodded and sat down. " I've known Jack for, gosh, twenty years. So I think I know him very well. After getting to know you, I realize that you two are perfect for eachother and what kind of friend would I be to either of you if I stood in the way of that?" Sue sat up straighter and Allie grinned knowingly. "Don't start with the whole 'we're just friends' bit because I am a hopeless romantic. I have eyes and I see the obvious chemistry between you two!" Allie said, smiling at Sue. Sue reached over and hugged Allie. "You are such a good friend." Sue remarked.

"Honey, have you seen my tie?" Jack asked, rushing into the kitchen. Sue shook her head and kissed his forhead. "Nope, but you might try the closet!" Sue remarked, dashing about to ready the kids. She then stood bolt upright and yelled, "UREKA!" Jack and the kids came running and Jack asked her what was wrong. "I know who we can set Allie up with! Stanley!" Jack's jaw dropped as Sue dashed to the study. Ruffling through some old bills and 302 home reports, she found a piece of paper with a phone number. She quickly dialed and started talking rapidly. "Stanley? Hi, it's Sue Thomas." She waited while his response appeared on the phone. Sue! I remember you all! How are you and Jack? "Good. I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with us. How about thursday? Great! Bye," Sue hung up and turned to look at Jack, who had a raised eyebrow. "What? They're perfect for eachother and they just need a little nudge!" Sue protested, hurrying off to gather coats for the twins. It has got to be a woman thing Jack thought as he coralled the twins out the garage and into the van to go to Aunt Allie's house.
