Dealing with It
Chapter 1
Abby looked into Carter's eyes as they kissed a second time. Abby had never felt anything like this before. Her heart was beating so fast, and it wasn't because she was scared about getting smallpox, but because her and Carter finally kissed after two years of flirting.
The whole time she was with Luka, she never felt like this. Yeah, there was an attraction of course, but with Carter it was different. It was more than an attraction. After her and Luka broke up, she wanted to be with Carter, but he didn't want to be want to be the " rebound guy". He believed that I was still in love with Luka, and as I look back on it now, I guess Carter was right; I was still in love with Luka. I don't think it would have been fair to Carter to have a relationship with me when I had feelings for Luka, but now I know the only feelings I have for Luka are as only a friend.
"Abby and Carter, you can leave the room. It was just something that looked like smallpox." said Gallant, who had had just entered the room.
"Oh thanks Gallant!" they said brightly.
Abby and Carter both looked at each other, waiting for the other one to say something.
"John…" said Abby gently. " I need to know if that was just something that happened at the spur-of- the-moment…or could there actually be something between us?"
"Abby… it was…"
But before he could say anything, Kerry entered the room. "I just wanted to thank you both for all your help, and I think that Susan needs both of you out there." said Kerry in her usual manner.
"Okay…" said Carter. Carter then looked up at Abby. "We need to talk about this…okay?" smiled Carter.
Abby then saw that Kerry was staring at them. "John, why don't we talk later?" said Abby delicately.
"Okay." said Carter, as him and Abby left the room to help Susan with the patients.
Carter watched as Abby went to help Susan. He couldn't believe that he actually kissed her after two years of waiting. That was more than I expected, and this was definitely was not a spur-of-the-moment thing. thought Carter to himself.

Abby was giving vaccines when, in the corner of her eye, she saw Carter. As soon as she saw him, her heart started beating really fast. Abby was a little worried that the kiss didn't mean anything to Carter as much as it meant to her, since he hadn't said anything to her yet. Yeah they were busy, but couldn't he at least say something?
"Abby?" said Carter softly. "I need a vaccine, and I really need to talk to you about that kiss."
"Okay, take a seat." said Abby. Carter then sat on the gurney.
"So, Abby about that kiss…" said Carter, as Abby stick in the needle into Carter's arm. "I think that it…"
But Carter couldn't finish the sentence. His pager went off. "I'm sorry, I have to take this. I will be off soon. Meet me in the lounge."
"Sure." said Abby quietly.
"Bye." said Carter.
***
Abby was just on her way out when she saw Carter coming towards her. She didn't really want to see Carter right this second, since she didn't want to get the rejection she sensed she was going to get from him.
Carter was getting closer to Abby, and he could see that something was bothering her by the expression on her face. I guess the kiss affected her more than I thought. Carter then blurt something out, not fully aware of what he just said.
"Abby…it was more than a spur-of-the-moment thing. I love you Abby." said Carter intensely
Everybody stopped what they were doing to watch the confrontation between Carter and Abby. Abby turned around and looked at Carter. Abby had this shocked look on her face, since she couldn't believe what Carter said. She thought that he was going to reject her, but she was totally wrong. He loved her more than she could have even imagined.
"I love you too John." said Abby as she went up to him and gave him a kiss.
