Title: all actions have consequences
Summary Abby and Carter keep getting stuck together, which has interesting consequences.
Disclaimmer. Not mine blar, blar, blar
"Come on lets try this room" said Carter forcing the door open as he almost knocked a ladder over.
The hospital was been revamped and in the confusion most supplies had been lost and Abby and Carter were mow hunting for suture kits.
"There's none here" said Abby exasperatedly as she slung the cupboard door shut.
"Oh no" Abby turned to face Carter
"What"
"The doors stuck" said Carter as he rammed against it
"Great that's just great stuck in here"
"I could think of worse places to be stuck. With worse people" grinned Carter
"No way not here no one knows yet" said Abby as she paced around the room.
They had only become an item a week ago and were not ready for the rest of the ER to know.
"Please" Carter walked towards her and pulled her into a hug.
Alex was wondering the corridors of the ER bored waiting for his mum to finish. When he came across something interesting.
"Wow" he ran of down the corridor to reception.
"Hey Jerry can I bet?" he held out a five pound note in his hand.
"If you got the money"
"What you betting on?" asked Pratt.
"Abby and Carter getting together" he said proudly.
"Why would you do that? What you know. Come on spit it out" Pratt looked him up and down.
"Well their down the hall kissing" Pratt laughed.
"That's cheating" he gave Alex his money back.
"God I wish those two would make up their mines. On? Off?" said Jerry as he went back to work.
"I can't reach" shouted carter jumping up and down. "Did you have to put them there?" Carter was trying to grab his trousers from the top of a cupboard.
"Well I wasn't thinking at the time" laughed Abby.
"Well now we get chance to talk. Go on ask me anything" Carter plonked himself onto a gurney after replacing his trousers.
"Did you miss me?" Abby looked seriously at Carter "when you were in Africa"
"All the time" he sighed, "I know what I did was stupid and that's why I couldn't come back not straight away" he paused to see Abby's reaction. She was now sat on the gurney opposite.
"Then everything happened and by the time I realised I thought it was to late" Abby smiled at him.
"You know I would have waited forever" she hoped of the gurney she was on and sat next to him.
"Things happen get in the way, but not anymore. We know how we feel and we know it's not going to change"
"Yer but it was funny me getting jealous of Jake" laughed Carter
"I wasn't even dating him" she threw her hands up in the air "was there really any need to hit him?"
"I though he was hurting you, you kept shouting but it was our first kiss".
Just one week ago Abby and Jake were arguing after Pratt announced to everyone they were dating on Jake's say so. Carter had walked in as Jake grabbed Abby's arm to prevent her from walking away. He had just run in and hit him. Then he grabbed Abby and kissed her. That was it they released they loved each other.
Jake had since left with no explanation. Which relieved Abby.
Almost two hours had passed and no one had even looked for them. They had become bored with the game they had been playing which involved blowing up a surgical glove and trying it to an emersion basin and racing them along the floor. The room was hot and Abby had taken her scrubs top of too reveal a black vest top.
Carter was now laid on a gurney counting tiles.
"That's it" he leapt of the gurney and pulled up a chair.
"What's it?" Carter excitedly pointed to a hole in the ceiling.
"That's our way out" he placed the chair on the gurney before standing on it poking his head through the ceiling.
"I'm not going in there" Abby folded her arms in defiance.
"Why not? It's safe the workmen have been using it" with that he pulled himself up into the roof. It was surprisingly large. he could crawl quite easily. It was however loud he could here the whole of the ER.
"Come on then" he offered his had to Abby.
"If we get stuck I'm blaming you!" Abby was pulled into the ceiling.
"Which way then?" questioned Abby as she tried to rub dirt of her top.
"Well reception this way and there a vent the workmen use there" he began to crawl along.
"Pratt have you seen Carter or Abby?" Susan made Pratt jump as he fumbled with the chart he was holding.
"No, maybe they were abducted that or their in a closet somewhere"
"Very funny! You can have their charts till we find them" Susan handed Pratt a pile of charts.
"Wait closet?" Susan suddenly picked up on that point.
"Yer their back on. Alex caught them kissing in an exam!" a wide grin spread across Susan's face. "Well it's about time!"
"Oh great they disappear and I get their work shouldn't they get more?" but it was to late Susan had wondered of in search of them.
"God it's hot up here" moaned Abby as she looked through a vent they had just crawled over.
"Well hot air rises and with this been metal"
"Ok I was just saying" Carter stopped abruptly causing Abby to run in to the back of him.
"Hey tell me if your going to stop!" she pulled her self of him. "What?"
"Look" he pointed down a grate. They could see exam two where Neela was flipping through a textbook.
"Hey Neela. NEELA" shouted Abby. Neela was unaware that anyone was speaking as she had the fan on and the noise of the ER drowned out the rest.
"Come on" Carter continued to crawl.
"Wait" Abby tried to catch up.
"Here" Carter once again stopped the other side of the next grate to Abby.
When they looked down they could see Jerry and Susan. Susan seemed to be asking Jerry about their whereabouts.
"How do we get their attention?" asked Abby
"Like this" Carter sat down and slammed his feet into the grate causing a loud crash.
"What the hell?" Kerry's voice was heard above the rest.
"Sounds like the bloody ceilings coming down" said Pratt as he walked up. Unfortunately they all seemed to be looking in the wrong place, so Carter tried again. This time the grate fell causing everyone to jump including him and Abby.
"What the heak" Kerry now sounded angry.
"Oh my god" Susan jumped back from the hole as two pairs of legs dangled from it.
"Hey a little help"
"ABBY?" Susan ran to look. "Carter"
"What in god name are you doing in the ceiling?" Kerry's face was now starring up at them.
"Great idea" whispered Abby.
"Getting out! we got stuck and since no one bothered to look for us we thought we would get ourselves out"
"I'll go get a ladder" Jerry dispread from sight.
"Well I would have looked but I though you was making out somewhere"
"What, hur" Abby and Carter both said at once.
Pratt grinned at them "Alex caught you. He wanted to bet his pocket money on you two getting together so we figured he must know something and he did"
"Wait you was going to let my son bet?" Sam walked over to Pratt.
"What he won" Sam hit Pratt over the head with a chart.
"Does everyone know?"
"Pretty much" Susan said
"See we could have had more sex" muttered Carter "they already knew" Abby reach across and hit him.
"Right" Jerry returned with a ladder and Abby and Carter climbed down.
"I think you need to go wash" Kerry said examining their dirt covered clothes
"Alone" added Pratt winking
"So much for no one knowing" Carter held Abby's hand as they walked towards the lounge.
