Chapter 2
Good News
Beep Beep Beep
Carters hands found the alarm clock, and he turned it off with the full force of his hand. He lifted the covers and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He checked the clock. 8:00. Arising from his bed, he grabbed his housecoat and stumbeled out the bedroom door. He checked on Lucy who was still asleep.
"Lucy, it's time to get up" He flicked the lights on
Lucy put the covers over her head "Now?"
Carter snickered "Now"
Lucy heard Carters footsteps dissapear. She sighed with frustration and got out of bed. Dragging her feet, she grabbed her house coat and walked into the kitchen.
"Morning" Carter exclaimed rubbing his eyes
"Yeah, whatever"
Carter laughed "Someone's grouchy this morning"
"Well you'd be grouchy too if you had to get up early after how many days of sleeping in?" Lucy planted herself on the couch
"Yeah, I probably would"
Lucy leaned back against the couch, pressing his hands to the seat. She sighed in frustaration once again as she watched the ceiling. "I don't know how I'm going to do this"
Carter paused "What do you mean?"
"With the ER and stuff. I don't if or how i'm going to do this. I mean, will they be mad at me? Or will they ire me because i tevhnically still work at the ER" Lucy sat up and put her head between her knees
Carter watched Lucy "You'll have to hope for the best. If the ER staff are anything like me, they'll be re-enacting my reaction to your sudden "Not Dead" movement"
"Yeah I guess you're right, you know I have an idea to get their attention"
Carter walked over to Lucy and sat down "Really, what?"
"Well...."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ER 9:30AM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carter parked the car outside the ER. Lucy sat beside him wearing the same green coat and black mask she'd worn the night before.
He turned off the ignition "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm positive"
They got out of the car and walked up to the ER. The sliding doors open, and Carter exchanged his hello's with the ER staff. They walked into the lounge and Lucy pulled off her mask, then sat down on the sofa.
"You ready?"
Lucy nodded "Yup"
Carter stuck his head out of the door, catching Elizabeths attention ", can you come here for a minute?"
"I can't Carter, I'm a bit busy" Elizabeth stopped for a second
"It's very important"
Elizabeth sighed *What could possibly be more important than my work?* "Fine"
It took about a second for Elizabeth get into the lounge, see lucy and scream. By the time she was done screaming, Elizabeth was crying and hugging Lucy at the same time.
"Lucy, is it really?"
She nodded.
The entire ER staff had heard Elizabeth scream and were now coming to check to see if she wass alright. In about ten minutes, everybody on the ER staff had given Lucy a hug. Karla, who was both a new doctor and Carters girlfriend was last to show. She hadn't met Lucy before, but had heard so many good things about her from Carter and basically every other ER staff member.
After things had calmed down, Lucy explained her story. She told them everything, about her twin sister, Jeanies help, even up to the point when she heard of Pauls death and decided to show her face again. Within the hour, everybody was in tears, from hearing Lucy's story anf the fact that she was back. Things had been slow that morning, so when a trauma warning came in, everbody hustled out of the room leaving Carter, Karla, Lucy and Kerry.
"So" Kerry finally said "Are you coming back to work soon?"
Lucy nodded. "Whenever you need me"
"Good, listen I have to go and help take care of this traum case. You're welcome to start right now if you want to"
"Yeah, sure why not" Lucy smiled, grabbing the med student coat from the rack.
"I'll call you if your needed" And Kerry left the room
When Kerry had vanished, Carter cleared his throat. "Lucy, uhhh, this is my...girlfriend... Karla Winter. She's a...transferred doctor from, Kanya"
Lucy smiled slightly "Hi"
Karla didn't do anything. Staring at Lucy, she snorted. "Hi.. I guess"
Things became awkard and a long silence stood between the three of them. Finally Karla spoke as he beeper went off "I'm being paged. Gotta go" She kissed Carter quickly then exited out the door.
Lucy snickered "And why are you dating drakula?"
"Oh c'mon she isn't that bad" Carter paused "At least I didn't think so at first"
Lucy smiled "Don't judge them, until you get to know them"
"Listen Lucy I have to get going" Carter walked out the door but turned around for a brief second "Wanna get some lunch at Doc Magoo's later?"
"What about your girlfriend?" Lucy played with her fingers
"She won't have to know" Carter smiled, then left
Lucy looked out the window and watched the rain as it began to fall. Things had been going smoothly, but something was worrying her. Lucy would eventually have to tell her mom after how she wasn't the one killed. Luc knew her mom would get angry, she wouldn't care, she'd react violently. But Lucy was willing to risk, that is if Carter was there.
READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUEING
Hey guys, so this is my very first Carter and Lucy fanfiction, so if it's bad, i'm sorry about that. I want to tell you one thing before continueing. You know how when Lucy died in ER, her mother came to visit Carter? Lets pretend that never happened. I want you to please pretend instead that Lucys mom didn't love Lucy, but her grandmother forced her mother (Maria Knight) to keep the child. Lucy's mother has always hated Lucy. Just pretend that, it sounds strange, but it's part of the story plot. Thank you! Please rate/review and I apologize again if it sounds really bad
