Chapter 1: Memories
It is February 13, 2001 tomorrow will be Valentine's Day. Lucy was standing by the admit desk she was rubbing her forehead. Kerry Weaver walks up to her. "Lucy are you ok you don't look well. Lucy looks at her concerned friend who had become like a mother to her since her accident. "I'm fine Kerry I think its just the thought of what tomorrow is and well oh never mind I'm sure its nothing." Kerry grabs Lucy's hand and pulls her to the lounge " Okay Lucy what's wrong. You know you can tell me anything." She said softly. "Well its just that I'm" she pauses. She looks up at Kerry "I'm late." She whispered "Late for what" She asked. "No, I'm late as in I haven't gotten my period yet." Kerry smiles "You mean you're pregnant?" Lucy sighed "Well maybe I don't know for sure but I have all the symptoms, tired, nauseous, and I haven't had a period in almost two months." She nodded "Well we'll just have to find out."
She walks out of the lounge and walks over to the supply closet and grabbed something from one of its selves. she returned to the lounge and pulls a pregnancy test out of her lab coat pocket and hands it to Lucy. She takes the test now all they have to do is wait. Ten minutes pass and the alarm on Kerry's watch beeps. "Well Lucy time to see if you're going to have a baby." Lucy picks up the test and as soon as she sees the positive mark she bursts into tears. Kerry wraps her arms around Lucy "Shh sweetie its ok don't cry." She said softly. "Oh Kerry what am I going to do." she cried.
"Well that's something you'll have to discuss with John." She looks at her. "It is John's isn't it?" she asked "Of course it's Carter's do you think I'd let anyone else see how horrible and disfigured I am." She said. "After last Valentine's Day I never thought anyone could love me looking like this" she pulls down her blouse revealing her scars. "But Carter does I don't know what I'd do with out him in my life." What if this" she points to her abdomen "drives him away."
Kerry hugged her. "I think John will be thrilled to find out you are carrying his child." Lucy nodded "I hope you're right." She whispered. Just then her pager goes off "Looks like I'm needed in the ER. Please Kerry don't say anything to Carter." She pleaded. Kerry smiled "Don't worry Lucy my lips are sealed." Kerry smiled as she watched her leave the lounge.
Later that day Carter arrives to start his shift in the ER. He had a big smile on his face and he was whistling. "Hey Dr. Carter you seem to be in a good mood today." Randi said with a smile. "I 'm in a very good mood Randi and may I add you look lovely today." Randi blushes "Thank you Dr. Carter." He smiled and headed for the lounge to get his lab coat from his locker. He bumped into Carol and Doug. He smiled "Well hello Mr. and Mrs. Ross and how is married life.?" Doug smiled as he wrapped his arm around Carol's waist. "Married life is great I couldn't be happier." He said. "I hope I'm this happy after Luce and I get married." He said to himself. Carol smiled "What was that Carter." She asked "Oh nothing." He replied. "Okay if you say so" she smiles "I'll see you later Doug and I are off to get the girls".
Carter says goodbye and walks into the lounge. He sees Kerry sitting on the couch. "Hey Kerry you busy." She smiled. "Hi John, no why." He sits on the couch next to her. "I want to show you something." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little velvet box he opens it to reveal a stunning diamond ring. "Wow John it's beautiful." She exclaimed. "It's for Lucy I'm going to ask her to marry me." Kerry wasn't sure what to say. "Kerry are you ok. Carter asked when she didn't say anything. "Yes I'm fine John. It's just that well Lucy is upset about tomorrow and you aren't ." she said quickly not wanting to let on about the baby. "Believe me it's on my mind but Lucy is on my mind even more I love her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to raise a family with her." That last statement made Kerry smile she knew Lucy had nothing to worry about John would love her secret.
Carter saw the smile on her face. "Kerry you're smiling I hope that means you approve." She gives him a big hug "of course I do, You and Lucy have a special place in my heart I'm very happy for you." Carter hugs her "Thank you Kerry. Your approval means alot to me, I just hope she says yes." Kerry smiled. "Don't worry John I'm sure she will."
The rest of the day was uneventful Kerry had a few patients, and every time she saw Carter or Lucy she would smile for she was sitting on two huge secrets that would make them both very happy. Tomorrow would be a big day in more ways than one. Kerry was just hoping everybody herself included could get threw Valentine's Day with out reliving to many painful memories. She grabbed her crutch from its resting place against her locker and headed for the door saying goodbye to Mark and Elizabeth who were enjoying a few stolen moments in between patients. Elizabeth blushed a little as she bid Kerry a good night. Mark smiled and waved. Kerry headed home hoping tomorrow would be a good day.
