Abby spent the night in Carter's room in a chair with a blanket around her. When she opened her eyes in the morning she looked up and saw John looking back at her.

"You're awake." She whispered in shock.

"Yeah, I decided I didn't want to miss out on seeing your beautiful face for any longer than I had to." John said groggily with a smile.

"John, I have to tell you something." Abby said solemnly after a moment.

"I know." John said with another big smile.

"How?"

"Hey, I was comatose, not dead. I could hear you and I didn't want to leave you. Or the baby."

"I love you." Abby said, leaning in and giving him a kiss.

"Ow. You're on my leg." Carter quickly yelped.

"Oh, sorry sorry." Abby said feeling mortified. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a little sore."

"Uh, does your offer still stand?"

"Refresh my memory?" Carter asked innocently.

"Come on."

"Yes it still stands. I love you Abby."

"Then John Carter. Yes, I will marry you!"

"I knew you'd come around." Carter said with a large smile.

"Smart ass." Abby said sticking out her tongue.

"Yeah. Come here and give me a kiss." Carter said and Abby obliged. "Ow."

"Shit! Where am I hurting now?"

"Haha. Just teasing you."

"Not funny." She said playfully slapping him on the shoulder.

"So exactly how far along are you?"

"Nine and a half weeks."

"And you never told me."

"I wanted to be sure."

"How did you keep this from me for this long?" Carter asked, still surprised.

"Trust me, it was really hard. I wanted to tell you so many times."

"You weren't sick this time."

"Not nearly as much."

"So this is really going to happen?"

"This is really going to happen." Abby smiled and said and took Carter's hand.
