Authors Note- Wow I am CoLd right now! Anyways here is the next chapter, hope you enjoy it as much as you have the others!

~*~

"Where's Carter?" I take a sip of my decaf then look at my son.

"Home." A simple answer.

"Why?"

"He was upset." I flip through my newspaper, I'm not entirely pleased with my son at the moment. "About?" Bryce pushes, he is starting to tick me off.

"What do you think?" He looks hurt and dejected.

"Oh-"

"Yeah, he's upset, you really hurt him Bryce. I have no clue what he is thinking. I know you are upset but making rude comments to John or I, is just not going to fly." I get up and slam my chair into the table. He's thinking, so maybe I got through to him I don't know anymore. "I didn't mean it." I dump my coffee down the sink and put the cup in the dishwasher. "You didn't have too."

"I say stuff like that to you all the time." Bryce brats.

"Yeah, and do you get away with it?"

"No." he grumbles.

"When was the last time you made a remark like that to me?"

"A long time."

"Yeah, because we agreed there will be none of that, the same with Carter. Go get ready, I have to work and you are coming with me."

"Aw mom no." He whines.

"Aw yes, you are doing community service." I smile, he walks off into his bedroom. "This will teach you to bite someone." I shout after him.

"Maybe I should apologize to Carter." Bryce says as we walk towards the L.

"Maybe you should." I grab his hand as we reach the crowded platform.

"Are you going to make me?"

"No." I watch as the people walk by, I can't stop thinking of Carter, I am probably neglecting my son of some attention, but right now I think Bryce just needs a good kick in the ass which he will get. "You want me to do the right thing, right?"

"Bryce, I always want you to do the right thing. I know you will do it to, you will do what you think is right." I pull him into a hug.

"I love you mom and I love Carter too." I smile down at him.

"Don't tell me that, tell Carter." He smiles at me.

~*~

"Hey." I walk over to the drug lock up, where Carter is standing waiting for Chuny to get him some medications. "Hi." He says glancing at me quickly.

"How are you?" I whisper.

"Good. dealt with some stuff that needed to be- dealt with." Sounds made up enough to me. "Yeah good." Chuny looks at us, then tosses Carter his drugs.

"Bryce talked to me." I am anxious to find out what he said. "You told him to didn't you?" He looks upset.

"No. He did it all on his own." He scoffs at this. "I don't force my kids to do things John." I am taking a offence to this now. "Right," he starts to walk away but I grab his arm.

"Just because you and Bryce are having a fight don't take this out on me." I say angrily.

"Your son hates me Abby... doesn't that bother you?" He is nearly shouting, people around us are starting to stare. He walks into an empty exam room and I follow. "It bothers me that you think everything is going to be a fairytale between you two."

He gives me a look, he clearly does not understand. "You are use to Bryce adoring you, what you don't understand is as a parent he's not going to always adore you. He's going to hate you. He's going to say that he never wants to see you again. But that's because he's ten and he doesn't like discipline. He will respect you more for it." He looks at me, understanding a bit more. "I am not saying let the comments slide, I am just saying you can't let him see how much they bug you, you have to treat him accordingly. He loves you, he doesn't have any bond or connection with Richard, with you he does." I can see I have gotten through to him, no one said parenting was going to be easy. "The baby is going to be the same way, John." He nods.

"I know. It just hurts." He laughs a little. "Its going to be hard with-" He points at me stomach, "Uh Ernie I guess, its going to be hard when Ernie says things to me, because I know it hurt like hell when Bryce did."

"Yeah, but we will duct tape Ernie's mouth closed." I crack.

"Hah, yeah we will." He leans in and gives me a reassuring hug. I know everything will be okay. He leans down and kisses the top of my head, we walk out of the exam room and see Bryce walk over to a patient and give them their food. "Its what he gets for kissing." I say walking beside Carter. "He's being a good help." Susan says walking up beside us.

"Yes he is." I reply happily. We walk over to a grumpy looking Bryce.

"How you holding up?" I ask trying not to laugh.

"I will NEVER kiss another girl as long as I live." He says with sad eyes.

"You say that now." Carter pats him on the back and then walks over to the board. Bryce watches him go. "He was mad before." He says sadly.

"You hurt him." I sigh, we are both staring at Carter, I am staring at a part of Carter, mainly his butt, I kind of want to grab it right now. Actually I really want to grab it right now. "I am sorry to you too. For when I say stuff like that." He sighs.

"I know sweetie." I pull him into a hug.

I can't stop eyeing that ass though, he walks by again, and I leave my son to follow him. "Are you following me?" He laughs turning around, I grab his arm and pull him into an empty exam room. He starts laughing, "What are you doing?" I lean up and kiss him roughly, he gets the hint and start to rub my back gently, our kisses deepen and he pulls away, "what?" I reach up trying to pull him in towards me again, he resists.

"We're at work." I roll my eyes at him.

"No shit Sherlock." I reach around and grab that ass I've been eyeing all day.

"Hey, hey." He pushes my hand away, "we can't do that here."

"Seriously John lighten up and pull those pants down, and then harden up."

"Abby what if Weaver or someone else walks in... We could be fired!"

"No we won't no one wants to work here, they won't fire people who do... Now lets get busy, I'm horny." He reluctantly kisses my neck his hands roaming over my shirt they make their way under it, my hand moves from his ass over to the door, to lock it. "If we get in trouble I'm dumping you." Carter says in between kisses.

"You would never want to loose me." I undo his belt, then his pants fall to the floor.

"I knew you wanted this too." I pull him closer to the bed, we lie down, "WHOSE IN THERE? I NEED THIS ROOM!" Carter jumps up off me, like he has a bee in his ass.

I can't help it, but I start to laugh at the sound of Weavers angry voice, as Carter pulls his pants up. He grabs my hand and pulls me over to the door leading into a patients room, we run into the occupied room, the patient gives us a stunned look. "How are you doing?" Carter waves at the man.

"Are you my doctors?"

"Yes, we are. How are you feeling?" I ask the groggy old man.

"I am waiting for my rectal exam, are you two giving it to me?" I notice Carter is disgusted, well that just got us out of the mood. "Actually Doctor Carter will be giving you the exam, I am going to go find a nurse to assist." I say in between bouts of laughter. "Actually you'll do Dr. Wycenzki." Carter says with a half smile on his face.

"Why don't we both go find the Doctor who is suppose to give you the exam." I say grabbing John by the hand to lead him out of the room. He sticks the chart at the end of the bed.

"Mist-" We all look up at Susan, who has just come bursting through the door. "Oh I was going to give him the exam, but since you guys are already in here."

"No, no you can do it." Carter and I say in unison.

"I didn't see you guys come in here, and you couldn't have come in the other way since Weaver is screaming about the door being lo-" She looks up at us smiling, she gets it.

"Mr. Denver, Dr. Carter and Dr. Wycenszki will be giving you your rectal exam." She waves us over, and we follow her outside of the room. "You're so lucky you weren't caught." She laughs. "This actually looks like it could be a fun exam." She walks away still laughing, I kind of hate Susan right now. John looks down at me, "After this I will not be wanting sex."

"I think that's the point." I sigh following him into the exam room. Right now getting caught by Weaver is looking a hell of a lot better then shoving my hand up some guys ass.

"After this I'm never going to want to see another ass again." I mumble right before we enter the room. "You're telling me he's like 60 and probably has more hair then a lions mane." Carter says seriously, I can't help it now I'm full on laughing. He stops me in the doorway trying to signal me to stop laughing, but I can't. I lean my head into his chest and start to laugh uncontrollably, suddenly he is too. We have both done a rectal before, but not in this situation, it just makes it all the more funnier.

~*REVIEW RESPONSES*~

smilez4eva- I actually taped last nights episode and only saw bits and pieces, I saw the carby moment and a few more. It was okay the parts I saw, I admit the carby moment was bittersweet. I am lost as to what they are going to do with the Carter/Kem relationship, but interested in seeing as to where its going to go.

CamilaC- Don't worry Carter and Bryce are okay, I think it is good that we had Bryce say something to Carter, because he is a father to him so they are going to have moments where they don't get along. You will have a few chapters to read lol, it depends if I can get back on my regular posting track by them...

~*PREVIEW*~

"What would you do?"

I watch the man shrug his shoulders.

"I'd do everything not to loose either one."

I nod my head, and walk towards the door. We've got to figure out what to do together.
