This next chapter will have a few different POV's

Thanks to all who've reviewed and given me encouragement!

Read, Enjoy, and Review!

Now on with the show!

Noise. So much noise. And flashing lightbulbs of red and blue. Shouts for an ET tube, she needs surgery, and 'Page Dr. MacLucas stat!'.

The gurney was moved in to the elevator faster than one could blink, he stood there, shocked and afraid. His friend put a hand on the small of his back, "Go on up, we'll be there as soon as we can." "Becca?", "Well take care of her, don't worry."

With that he rushed up to the surgical floor, to wait.

That had been hours ago.

Now it was dark outside, but for the stars that dotted the blackness.

Inside, filling every uncomfortable chair in the waiting room, was their family. Everyone was curled up in the most satisfying position possible, the kids slept.

Apprehension, fear, anxiety. So many emotions churned through the air.

"How long has it been?"

"Almost five hours."

The nurse nodded and laid her head back on her boyfriends shoulder.

Each person sat with his or her own thoughts, but all finding comfort in knowing that they were all there for each other, good times and bad.

From member to member thoughts drifted.......

Carter POV:

Months ago I never imagined that my life would be as it is now. I didn't know we'd be waiting for a baby to arrive, much less two. Becca came along and changed our world, for the better in every way.

Sitting here I wonder what could have been, of my past relationships, if the people I loved who'd died, had lived and if I would be different in personality.

Abby, my wife, now lies somewhere in the balance and which scale is tipped I don't know.

My wife....... that phrase still, to this day, seems like something I would never get to say. If I'd been asked years ago if I imagined myself married, married to a woman with so much attached to her, with so many skeletons, I would have a few choice words. Abby stepped gracefully in to my life more than five years ago, her naive actions and at one point annoying qualities adding to the experience. So many times I thought I'd lose her...... now I cannot imagine life any different. I know because beneath that exterior is the woman that I got to know under the sheets and in the cover of darkness. That woman is loving, caring, trusting, loyal, there is more I could think to describe her, but simply Abby is the woman I had subconsciously always dreamt of.

I might very well lose her now.

That frightens me more than any would imagine.

And my boys. They might not make it either. I haven't a clue as to how that could tear our family apart.......... it would be catastrophic.......

I must still wait, in worry and fear, for the outcome.

And prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.

Susan POV:

Back when I returned to Chicago Abby and I seemed to be at opposite ends of some invisible line. She resented me for jumping in to everyone's life when she'd never heard of me before. And I tried to boss her around like some new big kid on the playground.

Then Abby was attacked.

Somewhere, from the attack to that sexual harassment seminar Luka, Carter, Gallant, Abby and I were forced in to, we got to know each other.

I'm glad we did.

Abby is my best friend. Her kids will be my kids as my daughter is hers.

Over the years I witnessed Abby's growth and change.

From her mother's bipolar disorder to her brother's AWOL routine and then newly diagnosed bipolar disorder, to Carters gamma's' death.

Abby went back to med school, she started believing in herself and learned it's OK to ask for help. She found love and a family.

God, please don't let Abby or her sons die!

Luka POV:

Our relationship as a couple faltered and failed because I couldn't give her what she needed in a partner. Yet I offered her what I could as a friend.

Abby is the person who listens when I need someone, she has the compassion of a nurse and the strength of a doctor.

Now I only hope that we can be here for both Abby and Carter, we'll have Becca's back too ... the little girl who blew in to our lives....

Sam POV:

I've only known the Carters since August. In that time we've bonded, both professionally and personally.

I look at my own son and think about what life without his presence would be like. It's a horrible, unimaginable vision.

Becca and now these twins are the light of Carter and Abby......... Abby and those boys better make it............

Kerry POV:

Back when Carol Hathaway had her own twin girls I met one Nurse Abigail Lockhart.

Suddenly she was down on my turf and I wanted to keep her there.

Carter has suffered enough, he cannot lose all that he's gained...... I remember him as a naive intern, then a wise-ass pro. An emotionally and physically injured drug addict came next, until he began building himself back up...

I love these two too much to see them hurt.

Elizabeth POV:

Mark passed on a little more than five years ago. Carter was there when I needed someone, perhaps that's because he and Mark were so close, because Mark was his 'idol.'

I don't know, but what I do know is he needs Abby to survive.

I need Abby to survive, she was my pillar when that bastard Dorset screwed me over, no pun intended. She and I have grown in to good friends.

Ella has a friend herself now too. Becca is the child I'd always hoped they'd have. Biology has no play in it.

I understand what it is to lose your spouse....... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy....

Carter told me they wanted to use Marcus as Wyatt's middle name and asked if I was OK with it. I'm honored....

Becca POV:

Awful, ugly bruises spotted my body when I met my new mom and dad. I remember bein really scared, but Abby promised me I was safe then.

Slowly trust grew and now I don't want to think of life without either parent.

I love the life I have now, I think God was just waiting for the right time........

My brothers were another shock to me, I remember being shocked that they were 'my' brothers, that I was gettin a mom and a dad.

I'm scared now, for my mom and for Dillon and Wyatt.

Hours wandered by, it was taking much too long.

Then out of thin air the doctor appeared.

"Abby's in recovery, she lost a lot of blood and we had to perform a hysterectomy, but she's alive." Dr. Maclucas said optimistically.

"And the twins?"

"They're very small and will need to remain in incubators for a month or so, but they're healthy too."

Everyone sighed with happy relief, the air was cleansed of the stress.

"Thank you so much" Carter hugged his daughter while speaking to the doctor ... and God.

The whole group thanked God.

A/N: I decided to use only a few POV's just for depth. Hope ya liked it.

The last chapter will come soon! (and perhaps a sequel) Tell me what ya think!
