Carter and Abby had been married for 2 years when Abby found out she was pregnant. At first she was not to happy with it, but now she loves the idea of being a mother. She is 8 months pregnant and they had found out they are having a girl. Abby is now on maternity leave and will go back to work when their daughter is 6 months old. Now to the story.
Their house wasn't big, but it wasn't tiny either. It was in a perfect little neighborhood in a tiny suburb of Chicago. This way, John and Abby could still work at County, and it was the perfect place to raise a child, or children. John was ecstatic when Abby told him she was pregnant. Only two weeks after he found out he was going to be a father, he started baby-proofing the entire house. He got rid of his Jeep, which Abby thought would never happen and he even offered to take Abby shopping, which she knew he hated. Money was never going to be an issue with them, unless by some slim chance all of the Carter money disappeared. Right now for John, life was picture perfect. He was with the love of his life, and was about to be a father. You can't ask for much more than that can you?
He was working all of the hours he could, so that when baby no name came he could afford to take time off and not catch any of Weavers crap for it, if he was lucky. It wasn't until after Gamma died, everything was doing "okay" with Eric and Maggie and Gammas estate was taken care of, that he asked Abby to marry him. She of course said yes.
Their marriage, in the beginning had been almost like a fairytale. They never had huge fights or yelling wars, she didn't call him names, and he didn't call her names. Then one night, the shit hit the fan. He had gotten into a pattern off getting home late without calling. She would get worried, call all over gods creation trying to find him, and in the process making herself look like an idiot, and then he would waltz in the door with a "Hi honey, how was you day?" Well one night, his shift was over at 7:00 and he didn't walk in the door until 10:00, his cell phone was off and no one at the ER could seem to find him. Lets just say for the next couple of nights, the blankets didn't leave the couch. Now he made it an effort to call her if he was going to be late, and every time he was on his way home. They got through that, just like they would get through anything else that was thrown at them.
Telling their parents that they were going to be grandparents' was easier then either of them had expected. Maggie was thrilled, as was Eric, and to Carters surprise so was his father. He never thought that his father liked Abby that much, but I guess if John was happy, that was all that mattered. Abby and Carter still continued to go to those in Abby's words "stupid charity events" but she could just use them as an excuse to go shopping for a new dress. They went, they ate, John signed a check, they danced and then they left. It was as simple as that.
Abby was looking forward to this little girl for many reasons, one was maybe, just maybe they wouldn't have to attend those events.
Short, I know, I need ideas for names…Reviews would be helpful. I will post the next chapter after 5 reviews.
