Title – Seasons out of Time 3

Summary – Carter and Kem are getting married in Paris. Susan, Luka, Sam and Abby are on their way to the wedding but will the original wedding take place? Or will something happen involving one of ER's favourite couples. Carby (maybe…) CarKem, Chusan, Jabby, Samka.

Spoilers – Sort of spoilers for End of season 11…and based on rumours/spoilers for season 12.
Carby sort of…I don't know yet
CarKem
Jabby
Chusan
Samka

Disclaimer – I own nothing…except maybe like a pair of jeans…and some other stuff. But in terms of ER I own nothing. But believe me, if I did Kem would stay in Africa, Carter and Abby would be reunited 3 and Luka and Sam would be married already.

Prologue

Susan Lewis walked into the Doctors Lounge of the Emergency Room at County General Hospital in Chicago. The dark little room is otherwise occupied by a small brown haired doctor named Abby Lockhart. Susan smiled at Abby as she entered the room.

"Hey! So, are you gonna go?" Susan asks as she lifted the small white envelope in her hand towards Abby.
"Ha! I have no idea. I suppose, I don't know. I'll need to think about it" Abby replied, somewhat confused.

"Yeah. Well, if you want my opinion, I think you should come. I mean, how often do you really expect Carter to offer to fly us out to Paris!" Susan joked

At this Abby stifled a laugh. "That is true, he may be loaded, but he is rather tight with his money" She joked.

"So I take it you're going?"

"Well yeah. He's one of my oldest friends, and I can't exactly turn down a trip to Paris now can I? Plus everyone else is going, you know?"

"Are you trying to convince me to come?" Abby continued to joke

The tone of the conversation turned somewhat more serious

"Of course not, this is your decision"
"Why is it so easy for you? He is your ex too!" Abby remarked.

Laughing, Susan replied: "yeah, but you and I both know that Carter and I had no chemistry together. Hell Carter and Luka had more chemistry. The thing between me and Carter was just something to occupy his time until he could 'make a move' on you!" she smirked.

Blushing slightly Abby replied with a simple "Yeah"
"I better head back out there, can't spend all my time talking to the boss" Abby said jokingly as she headed back out of the lounge.
"Hey Abby"
"Yeah?"

"Think about it, okay? I mean, what's there to lose?"

Abby replied only with a smile and left, leaving the lounge door swinging and Susan standing alone in the dark room.

Abby spent the rest of her shift considering the trip to Paris. Nothing was to stop her going, she was over Carter. Wasn't she? Well he was most certainly over her proved even more so with the invitation that she had kept in her coat pocket. Why did he want her there? Was he trying to rub her nose in it or make her feel bad? Maybe he knew she wouldn't accept it. All these thoughts entered Abby's head and instead of further convincing her to stay in Chicago they only pushed her desire to attend the Carter/Likasu wedding. If she didn't show up she would only be proving to herself, Carter and of course, the ER gossip mill that she wasn't over him and yet she was so convinced she was.
