Carter: I'm sorry Abby
Abby: You're sorry?
Carter: Not for kissing you, I've wanted to do that for so long, but I'm sorry for kisisng you here of all places on all days. I mean after all that's happened today, I bet the last thing you want is to be opening this new door, not that I've opened a door or anything, its just that....
[Abby smiles and looks down at the ground for a moment then looks up and takes a hold of Carter's face]
Abby: Carter, just shut up!
[Abby leans in and kisses Carter, he kisses back.]
[Carter kisses her forehead and pulls her in for a hug. She closes her eyes and they stay like that for a while.]
[Carter sits down on the guerney and she sits next to him, they are holding hands.]
Abby: So what are we gonna do about this?
Carter: Do about what?
Abby: Us!!
Carter: [smiles, remembering a previous conversation] Is there an Us?
Abby: [smiles] I'm afraid, John Carter, there is!
They kiss again, still holding hands!!
Carter: So how does dinner sound? I mean, after all this is over?
Abby: [smiles] I'd say that sounds pretty damn good, as long as its not at Magoo's!
Carter: [laughs] What? No Coffee and Pie?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Time lapse to the next morning, Abby and Carter are wakened by the sound of knocking on the door, they have slept the night leaning against the wall with Abby resting her head on Carter's shoulder.]
Malik: [he's the one doing the knocking] Dr Carter!
Carter: hmm
Malik: We need you two to take these blood tests, or you'll never get out of here!
Carter: Ok, ok!
[Carter get's up and goes to the door, where Malik hands him the stuff they need.]
Abby: I hate these things!
Carter: Well, the sooner we do them the sooner we can get out of here, i really need a shower!
Abby: [smiles] Yeah, you really do you know!
Carter: Oi! [he gives her a quick slap accross the arm as she gets up of the floor]
[Carter sits down on the guerney and Abby draws blood from him, then he does the same for her before walking back over to the door.]
Carter: Malik are you there?
Malik: Yeah I am and I Abby's right, I can smell you from here!
[Carter passes the blood to him through the door.]
Carter: How's Chen and Pratt?
[no reply]
Carter: Malik?
Carter: Oh well, he must have been in a hurry, I bet there rushed of their feet out there!
Abby: Yeah, without the top resident, Dr John Carter to sort them out! [smiles]
Carter: [walks over the the guerney where Abby is sitting] You know, you were pretty good yourself yesterday.
Abby: "pretty good"?
Carter [smiles] ok, you were excellent!
Abby: [smiles] That's better
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Time lapse to about half an hour later.]
Abby: Ok, it doesn't take that long to do a couple of blood tests!
Carter: Well, like I said, they are probably busy out there! Anyway, things could be worse, you could be stuck here alone, without a georgous doctor by your side!
Abby: yeah, without a smelly georgous doctor by my side, hmm what a choice?
Carter: [smiles] Are you saying you think I'm georgous?
[Just then the door opens and the health guy who Abby and Carter spoke to earlier comes in, followed by three unknown doctors who are pusing a guerney. They are all wearing masks.]
Carter: What's going on?
Health Guy: I'm afraid its not good news, we have the results from your blood tests.
[Abby looks at John before taking his hand.]
John: I knew it, I should have listened to you Abby, I was hot, sweaty and I...
[he is interrupted by the health guy.]
Health Guy: Dr Carter, your test came back negative, you are fine, its not you who has the virus. [he looks at Abby.]
Abby: No! You must be wrong, take another test! I feel fine, take another test!
Health Guy: You have to come with us.
[Abby looks at Carter, he looks shocked and hugs her and kisses her on the forehead.]
Carter: You're going to be fine, everything's going to be okay. [he has tears in his eyes, she is crying]
[Two of the doctor's come over and take her arms and put her on to the guerney.]
Abby: No, no, wait!
[They roll her out of the room.]
Abby: [Shouts] Carter, Carter!
[the door closes and Carter is left alone.]
