Disclaimer: I don't own Abby, Carter or any of the ER 'gang'
This fic takes place sometime after Abby and Luka's break up. Carter never
dated Susan. Abby and Carter are very close.
It Started With A Coffee
Abby had just finished cleaning the sick of her scrubs, she deserved a break, she'd been working for 12 hrs with only 2 breaks, she headed towards the lounge. 'Hello, is anybody home?' Carter asked. She'd been so relieved to escape from Kerry she hadn't noticed Carter playing Solitaire on the table (which was hardly visible under the thousands of coffee cups. 'Oh, hey I didn't see you there' she replied. 'You look tired' he remarked 'I need caffeine' she wailed 'Would you like Carter to make you coffee?' he asked with a babyish tone in his voice 'Yes, please' 'Well you know, tough' She slapped him playfully, 'You meanie', she poured herself a coffee. He went back to his game. 'What time are you off', he enquired still with his back to her '1 hr, 57 mins and 27 seconds' 'Well, your obviously having a good day if your including seconds in your countdown' 'I've been thrown up on twice, these shoes are killing my feet, this place is a heat trap and I'm seriously questioning why I became a nurse!' 'You became a nurse because you care', he replied sincerely. 'Hmm, well' ' I'm off in 56 mins precisely so after your shift come round to mine, you can have another soak in my hottub.' 'Sounds good - I'll be there at about 7' 'Bring your swimming costume', he joked 'Will do', she drank the remains of her coffee and headed out the door. Carter went back to his game
Later that evening
She knocked on the door of the giant Carter mansion. She heard Carter rattle the inside lock. 'Welcome to my humble abode' he joked 'Humble isn't the word' she mumbled He showed her to the hottub 'You should no the drill by now, you can get changed in there' 'I intended to' He raised his eyebrows, 'Yeah, well' A few minutes later Abby stepped out of the side room, giving her bikini bottoms a slight tug making sure the side straps wouldn't come undone. 'You look great' 'Put your tongue back in your mouth' she teased She stepped in the water, it bubbled around her feet. 'Pure bliss' She went to sit down but she tripped and landed on Carters lap. 'Abby, I know you love me but I'm not really in the mood for a lap dance' Abby quickly shuffled off him and was very suddenly very self conscious - there was something about John that made her feel self conscious - if it had been anyone else she'd have laughed it off but with John it was different. The atmosphere was tense for a while until John started a conversation about the life of luxury. Suddenly Abby squealed, 'Are you ok?' 'Sorry the bubbles just started again.' 'You know if I didn't know you anybetter I'd say you only came here for my hottub.' 'I do', Abby teased. John looked disgruntled. 'Oh you know I'm only kidding don't you', she gave him a peck on the cheek. She saw his puppy dog eyes staring at her. 'What?' she asked, checking her hair in the nearby mirror. 'Your top's undone' 'Oh sugar, she exclaimed while trying to find the straps under her hair, 'I knew buying a halterneck was a bad idea'. She stood up and checked herself in the mirror. John burst out laughing, 'You do know that I was kidding don't you'. 'Damn you John Carter', she screamed. She hit him quite hard on the shoulder. 'That's it Abby Lockhart' He stood up, she ran into the side room, he followed her. He ran into the side room, as he did she ran out from behind the door and ran back towards the hottub. She hid behind a nearby bench. Unfortunately, she couldn't see Carter approach her from behind. He picked her up and carried her outside, she knew what was coming. SPLASH!!! He'd thrown her into the pool. She saw him turn around, this was her chance, she grabbed his ankle and in with a gentle tug he found himself in the pool as well. 'I invited you to go in my hottub not to go swimming!' 'Well, you pushed me in fir...' She'd swallowed some water and was choking and spluttering. 'Are you ok? Come here' He held out his hand, she grabbed it. He squatted so she could sit on his knee. He loved this closeness. She turned round to face him. This was his chance, it was make or break time. She opened her mouth to speak, but he placed his finger on his lip, leant forward and kissed her.
