WARNING: GET A TISSUE, IT'S A

TEARJERKER!!!!!!

This story starts out in the Cook County General Hospital. Tess, Monica and Andrew stood invisible to the human eye.

"What are we doing here?" Monica asked. "Why else would we be here, Miss Wings? We're here on assignment and this is

going to be an easy one." Tess her supervisor replied. "Who is my assignment?" Monica asked. "Your assignmnet is here

yet." Said Tess.

It was then they saw a blonde haired young women walking down the hall. It was Lucy, she had been looking for Carter.

"Carter!" Lucy yelled running to catch up with him. "What?" Carter asked turning around. "Could we go to dinner or

somewhere tonight?" Lucy asked. "I'm kind of busy tonight, Luce." Carter told her. "Please, I really need to talk to you."
Lucy said looking into Carter's eyes. "What did you want to talk about?" Carter asked as he started to walk down the

hall again. "You remember that night in the ex..." Lucy started to ask. "Shhhhh...all right we can go to dinner." Carter

told her. "That's what I need to talk to you about." Lucy said with a blush. "All right, where do you want to meet for

dinner?" Carter finally asked with a sigh."My dorm 7 pm. Why do you want me to keep quiet about what happened

in the exam room? Everyone knows about it." Lucy reminded him. "Have you told him yet?" Carol asked walking out

of the doctors lounge. "No, I was going to tell him tonight." Said Lucy. "Tell me what? I'm standing right here." Carter

reminded them. "I'll tell you tonight." Lucy said and walked away. "Why can't you tell me now?" Carter asled."Because

I don't want to distract you." Lucy replied. "I'm already going to be distracted until seven tonight now!" Carter yelled

after her. "Not until seven tonight. Are you going to keep bugging me until then?" Lucy asked.

Everyone in the ER was staring at Lucy and Carter, but they didn't seem to notice.

"You two sound like a married couple, this isn't the place for your personal arguments. Now cool it until you get out of

here." Kerry said walking down the hall. "All right, I'll see you at seven, Lucy! Jeeze!" Carter said and stomped off.

Lucy stood staring after him, as he stomped away. Lucy started to daydream.

Meanwhile Carter found Carol getting Tess and Katie ready to go home.

"Hi, Carol." Carter said walking into the doctors lounge. "Hi, Carter." Carol replied. "What did you mean when you

said, 'have you told him yet?' " Carter asked. "I'm suprised no one has told you, but we all promised Lucy we

wouldn't." Carol replied. "Tell me what? Who else knows?" Carter asked. "We promised not to tell. Kerry, Mark, Peter,

Elizabeth, Jerry and I." Carol told him. "All of you know what Lucy is going to tell me?" Carter asked as he looked at the

clock. "Yes, bye." Carol said walking out of the doctor's lounge as Cater held the door.

Tess, Monica and Andrew stood outside the doctor's lounge.

"You better get going, Angel Girl." Tess told Monica."Is my assignment here?" Monica asked looking around. "No, but

she will be soon. Now get going." Tess replied.

Monica walked away, when she looked back to where Tess and Andrew had been, they were gone.

"What am I supposed to do?" Monica wondered aloud. "May I help you?" A voice asked from behind Monica startling her.

"Yes, I'm new here and my name is Monica." Monica introduced herself. "I'm Elizabeth Corday." Elizabeth replied. "What

is going on? Why were those two yelling at each other?" Monica asked. "Well Lucy has a suprise for Carter and Carter is

trying to find out what it is." Elizabeth replied. "Do you know what Lucy is going to tell him?" Monica asked. "Yes, I'll tell you,

but you can't tell Carter." Elizabeth told her. "All right, I promise." Monica replied.

Carter spotted Dr. Benton walking down the hall.

"Hey, Dr. Benton!" Carter yelled at as he walked faster to catch up with Dr. Benton. "Hey, Carter, I'm not breaking my promise to,

Lucy. So don't ask." Dr. Benton said. "I'm going to go crazy is I don't know what Lucy is going to tell me!" Carter yelled frustrated.

"Hey, Carter, no one is going to tell you. Don't worry, you don't have much longer." Lucy said walking up. "This place is kind of

slow for four weeks after Christmas." Dr. Benton commented.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Hey, Carter ready to go?" Lucy asked. "Finally, yeah, let's go." Carter replied going into the doctors lounge to grab his stuff.

A few minutes later they reached Lucy's dorm.

"What did you want to talk to me abou?" Carter asked.

Lucy took a deep breath.

"Carter...I'm pregnant." Lucy said looking at the ground. "What?" Carter asked not believing what he had just heard. "I'm

pregnant and you're the father." Lucy replied tears in her eyes. "When?" Carter asked gently taking her chin and lifting her

face to meet his eyes. "That day in the exam room almost four months ago." Lucy replied as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What are we going to do?" Carter asked. "What do you mean?" Lucy asked. "What are we going to do about the baby?"

Carter asked. "I'm going to keep it." Lucy replied. "How did everyone know before me?" Carter asked. "I was telling carol

about thinking I might be pregnant when jerry walked in." Lucy explained looking away again. "I'm suprised, but I just realized

something." Carter told her."What?" Lucy asked. "I love you, but can we eat something I'm getting kind of hungry." Carter

replied with a smile. "I'm made spaghetti and salad for dinner. Is that all right?" Lucy asked. "Yeah, that's fine. I ca..." Carter

started to say.

Just then the door opened and Lucy's roommate walked in.

"Sorry, I just wanted to grab a couple of things." Said Lucy's roommate. "Maria, this is John Carter, Carter this is my roommate,

Maria." Lucy said introducing them. "Hello, nice to meet you." Carter said. "So this must be the doctor you keep saying is sooo

cute." Maria said. "Maria, shut up." Lucy said with a blush. "What's wrong, Luce, don't want me to hear what you tell her?" Carter

asked with a smile."No, because it's girl talk." Lucy told him. "Did you tell him yet?" Maria asked. "Yeah, I told him a few minutes

ago." Lucy replied.

That's when there was a honking from a car.

"Well I better go, I'll see you later." Maria said, ran to her room grabbed the few things she needed and left. "Wait, how do you

know I'm the father of your baby?" Carter asked. "You're the only guy I ever slept with." Lucy said with another blush.

Carter couldn't resist, he kissed her and they walked into the kitchen for dinner.

The next night in the ER, Carter walked up to the desk still in shock.

"Hey, Dr. Carter, did Lucy tell you the secret?" Jerry asked. "I'm going to be a father." Said Carter. "Congradulations." Jerry

told Carter. "Thanks." Carter replied. "Hey, Carter, did Lucy tell you her news?" Dr. Benton asked walking over to the

admissions desk.

Meanwhile it was raining outside, Allison Knight and her four-year-old daughter Gabrielle were driving home. Allison thought

she saw something in the road and swerved not to hit it, but went off the road.

Back with Lucy...

"I told him last ni..." Lucy started to say. "Two people coming in! Car accident, two minutes!" Elizabeth Corday yelled.

"Congradulations, on the baby." Monica told Lucy. "I'm sorry I don't remember you. Are you new here?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, my name is Monica." Monica replied. "How did you know I was going to have a baby?" Lucy asked. "I heard you

and that other Dr. yelling. When I asked what was going on, that's when I was told." Monica replied. "Let's go! What do we

have?" Benton yelled.
