Summary: After finding out Zach wasn't his son. Mike left Wisteria Lane leaving behind a heartbroken Susan. What happens when a year later their lives collide once again?
Chapter One: Unexpected Surprises
It was a usual warm day on Wisteria Lane, birds were singing and children were playing happily in their front gardens.
Susan Mayer was stood in her kitchen washing the dishes smiling brightly when a pair of arms encircled her waist. She felt soft lips place a kiss against her neck. Susan enjoyed the warmth radiating off the body behind her and unconsciously kneeled back wanting to feel more of the heat.
"So are you sure you don't wanna come?" asked the voice.
Susan turned around, her hands still soapy from the water. She looked at her boyfriend. He was still here after all this time. Sure they had their ups and downs but Ron had stuck by her.
"A night with some guys drinking beers and talking about football. I think I'll pass," she giggled touching his nose.
"Okay," he replied placing a soft kiss against her lips. He waved a small goodbye, which Susan affectionately returned. She watched as he walked out of the house and into his car. Her life was perfect, she had a great guy who adored her granted he was much younger than she was but that didn't matter as long as they had fun.
She was just about to call for her daughter when she appeared clutching her jacket and bag in one hand.
"Hey, mom you ready?"
Susan rolled her eyes at the question and picked up her purse heading outside with her daughter. She saw Edie and Karl drive past in his flashy red car. A year had passed and although no one expected it to last Karl and Edie were still very much together. They had gotten married a couple of months ago in a quick Las Vegas ceremony and both couldn't wait to rub the news in Susan's face much to her displeasure. Edie had constantly gloated about life as a married woman.
She was just about to get into her car when a heavily pregnant Gabrielle called out to her.
"Hey Gabby, how are you?" she smiled greeting her friend. It had been 8 months since Gabrielle and Carlos announced that they were having a baby. Everyone was shocked at first, Gabrielle had sternly refused to ever have children but looking at her now Susan couldn't help but smile, pregnancy really did suit the ex-model.
"I'm fine thanks. Although my back, feet and just about every limb is in a considerable amount of pain."
Susan laughed at her friend's remark. "Trust me Gabby it will get better."
"I hope so, I'm ready to give birth right now," smiled Gabrielle. "So where are you of too?"
"I'm just going grocery shopping with Julie," replied Susan warmly.
"Are you going to be at poker tonight or do you have a romantic night planned with a certain doctor?" asked Gabrielle wiggling her eyebrows.
"I'll be there," chuckled Susan.
"Great I will see you later," responded Gabrielle walking towards Bree's house.
Susan got into the car to the relief of her daughter. "Come on mom. I'm starving," she groaned.
Susan sighed starting up the car and heading towards their destination.
Susan yawned loudly pushing the trolley around the grocery store.
"Mom, is it okay if I spend the weekend at Amy's?" asked Julie placing some chips into her trolley.
"Is it okay with her mom?" asked Susan looking at her shopping list.
"Yeah it's fine, please," pleaded Julie.
"Yeah sure," smiled Susan reaching for a bag of pasta on the shelf.
"Thanks mom," squealed Julie hugging her tightly.
"Oh, we need marshmallows," she spoke walking in the opposite direction.
Susan sighed tiredly pushing her trolley around the supermarket picking up items and placing them in the trolley. The ringing of her cell phone disturbed her from her thoughts. Rummaging through her purse she pulled out the tiny object.
"Hello..Oh hey Ron," she spoke a smile lighting up her face.
"No…yeah..maybe. I'll call you later," she finished the call looking around for Julie who was nowhere to be seen.
Not looking where she was going Susan didn't notice when she bumped her trolley into someone. She looked up quickly at the backside of a tall muscular man.
"Oh, my god I am so sorry. I wasn't looking and I am sorry," she babbled.
She let her eyes drift over his frame. 'Hmm he's got a cute butt'. Shaking her head of the thoughts she chided herself for the inappropriate thoughts. 'Stop it Susan, you just rammed your trolley into a stranger's backside.'
She gasped loudly as he turned around to look at her. Shivers ran through her body and she thought she was going to faint right there on the spot. His sparkling blue eyes met hers. She never thought she would see him again.
Breathlessly she managed to squeak out his name. "Mike?"
