Well this is my first shot at a song fic. I really like this song and every time I hear it I think of Carter and Abby so I thought why not give it a shot. All lyrics belong to Aerosmith and all ER characters don't belong to me either. Like I said before this is my first song fic so please be gently with your reviews!
Thanks

It was the beginning of another long day at County General. A major trauma was coming in and a flurry of snow roared outside. But amidst all that, Abby Lockheart couldn't be happier. It would be Christmas soon and as she looked out at the blizzard, it just reminded her of the nearing date. She had the knowledge that the man she was madly in love with, John Carter, was just a few doors down working on a minor case.
But along with that feeling of contentment came the feeling of dread for the end of the day to come. It was a Friday and usually she would be overjoyed for the beginning of the weekend when she and Carter could spend uninterrupted time together. But this weekend was different. This weekend John was going with his Gamma to some 'family reunion' in Los Angeles. Just the thought of John being away from her for a good 48 hours made her feel sick to her stomach.
"Your glowing Abby. What's up?" Susan Lewis asked. Apparently she hid the dread pretty well underneath her excitement. She smiled gently.
"Oh nothing. It's Friday. So sue me," she said turning back to some charts she was supposed to be filling out.
"Abby! We need you in trauma one now!" Kerry Weaver shouted. Abby rolled her eyes.
"Coming."
Maybe having the end of the day come soon wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Ready to go home Abby girl?" Carter asked snaking his arms around her waist and planting a kiss on her neck. She jumped a little from the cold of his fingers. 8 hours and 4 traumas later it was finally time to go home.
"More then you know," she said jumping down from her spot on one of the stools that was positioned behind the admit desk.
"See you guys on Monday," Chunni called as Carter and Abby headed towards the ambulance bay. Abby waved and braced herself next to Carter for their journey home.
"I don't think I can survive without you for two whole days," Abby whimpered lightly as she snuggled up next to Carter in her bed.
"I'm sure you'll be fine Abby," he whispered stroking her hair absent mindedly.
"But I'll still miss you," she whispered catching his lips in a light kiss. He could tell she was tired but he wanted to milk every last minute with her for all they were worth. Soon her even breathing told him she had let sleep take her.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
He still couldn't believe how lucky he was. He had Abby with him and that's all he had ever wanted. He watched her eyes flutter and he couldn't help but wonder what was going on in that sweet head of hers. He moved a strand of hair away from her eyes and smiled as she snuggled deeper into his side. He instinctively tightened his other arm around her waist.
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
He knew how she felt about him going to LA. She didn't want him too. And as he sat there watching Abby's chest rise and fall with every breath she took he was starting to wonder if he really wanted to leave Abby alone.
He knew that she would probably catch up with Susan or Liz over the weekend and go shopping. The girl time would be good for her. He felt warmth fill his body as he faintly felt, against his rib cage, her heartbeat.
"You're not making this any easier for me Abby," he whispered.
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
Carter wished he could stay awake forever just watching the one he loved so much. What if something happened while he was gone? He didn't want to miss anything important. Finally he decided what he was going to do. He was going to drag Abby along with him. He was going to take her to LA. It was about time she met his family anyway.
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Finally he let himself settle down. Knowing Abby would come with him gave him a sense of ease. He loved her more then anything. Carter held Abby close to him and hoped that she would allow him to hold her in his arms forever.

So what did you think? Was it awful? Tell me your thoughts! If you liked it I could finish the story as a non-sonfic type thing. Please be nice :)
