"OH HAPPY DAYS"
Hey this is my 1st fanfic so I'd appreciate lot sof feed back. I have 12
chapters but will cut it short if you don't like it.
I don't own ER and if I did Pratt certainly wouldn't be in it. ( nice
body, bad personality; bad combo) Not sure about spoilers but if there is
then don't sue cos it wasn't deliberate - You wouldn't get much anyway, I'm
skint.
"Part one - "The Beginning"
It had been 2 days since the lockdown. The disease was confirmed as MonkeyPox. The ER was back to it's usual hectic self but Abby and Carter hadn't spoken to each other since "the kiss". Most of the staff have bets on whether or not they will get together. Dr.Susan Lewis is the ring leader.
ADMIN DESK: Wednesday
Susan: So how's it goin' Carter, trouble in paradise?
Carter:(grins) I don't know what you mean Susan
Susan: Sure you do - How's Abby?
Carter: You'd probably know more about Abby than me seen as we haven't spoken since the...(thinks for a sec).....since the lockdown.
Susan: You were going to say kiss.
Carter: Kiss! What kiss? Who kissed?
Susan: Give it up Carter, Malik caught you two and told Josh and Josh told -
Carter: Everyone?
Susan: Yep! (notices Carters face) It's OK Carter we all know ho wyou and Abby feel about each other.
Carter: Really? Care to tell me how we feel
*He wasn't annoyed but he wasn't calm either. Why did the gossip train have to meddle so much?*
Susan: Sure - You're in lurrrrve.
Carter: What? I am not in love.
*He slammed charts down and began to walk away*
Susan: Ok, ok. I give up. Just make sure you speak to her before tomorrow 'cos I've got a bet on you two to make before 10 tomorrow night and I don't wanna lose $50.
*Carter stopped dead in his tracks and turns to see Susan standing there with her hands in her pockets.
Carter: Oh, I get it! This isn't about Abby and me. This is about your little bet with the hospital gossip parade.
Susan: You bet! Gettit? You bet...no
* She laughs at her own bad joke*
Chuni steps in: GSW comin' in, ETA 2 minutes.

*John gives soon the "Why her" look*
Weaver: Susan, get over here now!
Susan: You got this?
Carter:(looks at Abby) Yeah we can handle this. Go.
*Carter and Abby head for the ambulance bay in total silence. They normally would have joked and goofed around alittle but there was nothing.*
Carter: What've we got?
*For the past 2 days, well 1 day (they weren't working yesterday) their relationship has been strictyl profesional.
Doris: GSW to chest and abdomen. BP's 90 over 50. Serious blood loss, possible neck fracture from where she fell, contusions to the right arm and leg.
