Abby and Neela had been huddled on the floor, crying for about a minute when Abby thought she heard a noise "What was that?" she asked, becoming alert listening for the noise.

"What?" Neela asked

Blip

"That" Abby said pulling herself off of the floor so that she could look at Luka's heart monitor and see if the noise confirmed what she hoped. Blip, came the noise again and the monitor was registering a definite heartbeat. Abby took hold of Luka's hand. "Come on bab come back to me" and the heartbeat showing on the monitor began to quicken. "That's it" Abby said bringing his hand up to her mouth, kissing it gently. A few moments later and Luka was back to normal sinus rhythm.

"Abby" he said softly.

"I'm here" she said bursting into tears, although this time they were tears of joy.

"I'll go and get the neurologist" Neela said, partly to give Abby and Luka some privacy. Abby leaned over and softly kissed Luka's lips and felt him kiss back.

"What happened Abby?" he asked.

"We'll talk about it when the neurologist gets here right now I need you to rest.

"OK" he replied.

The neurologist arrived about half an hour later as he had been tied up with another patient. He explained to Luka what had happened to him over the past week and suggested that Luka be admitted for a couple more days just to make sure everything was fine considering his miraculous recovery.

Once the neurologist had left the room Luka said to Abby "Boo, you must have really had a tough time this past week. Do you know what made me fight and come back?"

"What?"

"You. I heard your voice and it made me realise that I had to come back to you to see you again, to feel your soft embrace, to feel your kiss, thank you" On hearing this Abby kissed Luka.

"That's exactly what I fought for, moments like this when I have you all to myself"

"Bab, do you have any recollection of what I was saying to you?" she asked, hoping that he would be able to remember everything she had told him about wanting to get married and being pregnant again.

"I do have a faint memory of you mentioning something about being pregnant, is that right?" he asked.

"Yeah. You don't remember anything else?" she asked hopefully.

"Nope, that's it" he replied. "Why did you say anything else?"

"It wasn't that important" she said with a look of disappointment. She could wait a few more days until Luka was feeling better before bringing up marriage.

On seeing the look of disappointment etched on Abby's face Luka asked, "Is something wrong?"

"No, no everything is great" she replied putting on a brave face.

"So, how far along are you?"

"About two and a half months"

"That night by the lake?" Luka asked with a wicked smile.

"That would be my guess" Abby replied.

"It's great news Abby; you've made me the happiest man alive"

"You don't think it's too soon?" Abby said in all seriousness. "I mean Kyle is on four months old, I would have liked to have a bit of a bigger gap before having the next one" Abby sat down on Luka's bed.

"Honestly, I think its fine" Luka replied hugging Abby.

The next day Abby brought Kyle to the hospital to see Luka "Hi little man" Luka said taking hold of Kyle and lifting him up to blow raspberries on his stomach.

Whilst Kyle and Luka were having their reunion someone knocked on the door to Luka's room and Carter popped his head in "Is it OK for me to come in?"

"Absolutely" Luka replied. "Abby told me she saw you in the cafeteria the other day. What are you doing back in Chicago?" Luka asked.

"Um, I'm here with Kem. She's up in OB at the moment, having just delivered our son Jake"

"That's great news Carter" Abby said getting up from the chair next to Luka's bed to give him a congratulatory hug.

"Yeah, that's great news" reiterated Luka. "Coincidentally have you met our son Kyle?"

"I saw him the other day but he was fast asleep, hello there I'm Dr Carter" he said, Kyle began to laugh "What's so funny, huh?" Carter asked.

"It's just his way of saying he likes you" replied Abby, she had moved over to the edge of Luka's bed so that Carter could sit down, they all had a lot to talk about what had gone on in the past fifteen months of their lives.

A day later Luka was discharged from hospital with a clean bill of health. Before going home he and Abby visited Carter, Kem and baby Jake. Whilst Abby was busy fussing over the baby Luka pulled Carter aside and asked him if he could do a favour for him in a couple of weeks.
