Together Through It All

This takes place 2 years after the last chapter of "Lost". I know this chapter is all sweet and stuff … so the title doesn't make any sense, but it will in later chapters.

Chapter 1 – Anniversary Surprises

Abby climbed into the bed quietly, as she didn't want to wake up Carter who was sleeping peacefully. Abby couldn't believe that it has been almost two years since her and Carter started dating. I can still remember the first time that Carter and I kissed, and then I rejected him, but John wouldn't give up on us that quick. He told me to give us a chance, and I think that is the best thing that I have ever done in my life thought Abby to herself.

 "Abby," Carter said, as he sat up, and turned the light on.

"John, did I wake you up?" Abby said, smiling.  Carter looked at her, and smiled. " Of course not, I was just dozing off."

"John, you were sleeping," laughed Abby.

"No, I wasn't" Carter  laughed, as he leaned over and kissed Abby.

"I heard you snoring."

 "I was not snoring, you can't snore if you not asleep," said Carter she held Abby tightly.

Carter looked at Abby, and he couldn't believe that he had been with Abby for 2 years, normally all his relationships lasted at the most 6 months, but this relationship is different. We have been through a lot already, and we are still together, and I know we can get through anything, thought Carter to himself.

"Abby, I..." said Carter, but then he looked to his side, and saw that Abby was sound asleep, then Carter putting  the covers on her,"

 "Night, Abby."

The next morning,

Abby looked to her side, and saw that Carter was still sleeping. Abby then crawled out of bed, and look at her calendar, and saw what day it was, but I'm sure he has forgot, thought Abby as she went to have her shower.

When Abby got out of the shower, Carter was sitting in the kitchen.

"Morning Abby," said Carter with a smile. Abby looked at Carter, hoping that he would say something that would make her think that he remembered what day it was, but he said nothing.

"Good morning, John," Abby said. Carter then got up from his chair, and came towards her.

"Morning Abby," Carter said. "When do you start work?"

 "In half an hour," said Abby. "What about you?"

"In an hour, I guess I will see you then, as you don't want to be late."

" Sure,," said Abby as she leaned over and kissed Carter. "Bye John," she said as she left the apartment. Carter watched as Abby left the apartment. It was so hard for him to make out that he didn't know what day it was. How could I forgot the day that Abby and I started dating, she is the best thing in my life… not only is she my girlfriend, but she is my best friend, thought Carter to himself.

Carter then saw what time it was, and he knew that he had to go have his shower.

As Carter was walking to the ER, he reached into this pocket, and took out a box. I hope you like this, thought Carter as he put the box back into pocket, and then he entered the ER.

Meanwhile in the lounge,

"Do you think he has forgotten that it is our 2 year anniversary since we started dating." Abby asked Susan.

"Well… I'm sure it's just because he is so busy that he forgot" Susan said.

"Yeah, I'm sure you are right, "Abby said, she then turned around, and saw that Carter was standing right in front of her. "John," she said, smiling. Abby's pager then went off.

 I'll see you tonight," she said, as she leaned over and kissed Carter, and then she left the lounge.

"So do you think she believed it?" asked Carter as he was opening his locker. "Yeah, I'm definitely certain that she thinks that you forgot your anniversary.

"That's great" Carter said, grinning.

"So what did you get her for your anniversary," Susan asked.

 Suddenly Carter's pager went off. "I have to go now, but you will find out soon enough what I get her." he said as he left the lounge.

Later that day,

Carter was in the lounge when Abby walked it. . "Hi John," she said, smiling.

Carter then got up from his chair. "Are you going home now?" asked Carter as he kissed Abby. "Yes, I guess I'll see you later" said Abby as she left the room.

"You are going to be so surprised", whispered Carter to himself.

About 4 hours later.

Carter was walking out of the ER when Jing Mei came towards him. "John… I need your help." said Jing Mei. Carter looked up at Jing Mei, "I'm sorry Deb, I wish I could help, but I'm off now, but I'm sure Susan can help you"  Carter said, Nothing was going to stop him from spending his anniversary with Abby, thought Carter as he walked out of the ER Bay doors.

Carter got to their apartment about half an hour later,

"Hi Abby,"  Carter smiled, as he opened the door.

"Hi," said Abby, who was watching Fear Factor.

"I'm just going to change my clothes, and then I'll be right out," Carter said.

"Sure," said Abby. A few minutes later,

"Abby,"

Abby turned around, and she couldn't believe what Carter done, he had made a nice candle-lit dinner.

"Oh John," Abby said, smiling, as she went up to Carter.

"Well… I didn't have time to make any dinner, but we do have some ice cream" said Carter as he sat down. "Oh John, this is so wonderful, I thought that you forgot about out anniversary.

"No, I would never forget about anything like that. Carter then took a box out of his pocket. "This is for you," he said as he handed Abby a box. "Oh this is wonderful," said Abby as she opened the box to find a beautiful necklace. Abby then got up from her chair. "John, I love you so much," she said as she kissed Carter. Carter then went into this pocket, and he realized that the other present he got her wasn't there. "I'll be right back." said Carter softly as he went into the bedroom, and he tried to remember where he put the other box. He looked everywhere, and he couldn't find it anywhere.

"Is everything okay," asked Abby.

"Yeah, I'll be right out," Carter called out to her. What I am going to do now that I can't find the box, thought Carter to himself, and then he saw the box in the pocket of his black jacket.

Carter then walked into the dining room. "Abby, do you think we could go into the living room, and talk for a second."

"Is everything okay?" asked Abby, worried.

"Everything is fine." Carter said as he sat down on the couch. "From the first time that I met you, I knew that there was a connection between us. I know that it took almost two years, and many obstacles to be where we are now. Carter then got down on his knees. "I love you Abby Lockhart, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Abby looked up at Carter, and she couldn't believe what just happened. "Yes, John. I'll marry you" smiled Abby. Carter then put the ring on Abby's finger. Carter got up, and hugged Abby.

"I wasn't sure if you would say yes." said Carter gently.

"Oh, John, I love you, and there is no one else that I would rather spend the rest of my life with. Carter and Abby sat together and nothing could destroy their happiness, could it?
