I got to Luka's apartment about an hour ago and every now and then I can't help gaze at the phone. Like it's calling out for me. I'd like to scream… I get up from the couch and remove it from the receiver. Ok, here I go, for better or worse here I go. It starts ringing.

"Hello."

"Hey Maggie... It's me…"

"Oh Abby I'm so glad you called."

"I have some good news mum."

"What's the news?"

"Well, you are…" Say it… "You are going to be a grandmother."

"What? Oh my God, Abby this is great! I assume Luka's the father."

"Yeah, he is."

"Oh… Imagine the baby with his eyes! It's going to be gorgeous! Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? When are you due?"

"I don't want to know what it is. I'd rather have the surprise. And in July."

"Oh, a summer baby! How exciting! Hold on, you knew you were pregnant the last time we talked?" Oh crap… now she is going to get angry…

"Yes… I knew but I wanted to wait till we had the results from the amnio. I got them today. That's why I was calling."

"So everything is alright?"

"Yeah, more than alright."

"How is Luka taking this?" Luka…?

"He's thrilled, as expected."

"And you?" Oh… let's go back to Luka…

"I'm doing alright, I'm happy… I can't remember the last time I was and it's great."

"I'm happy for you Abby. Everything seems to be in its place for what you are telling me."

"For the time being, yeah… I'm scared it won't last long but I decided to live the moment. I better enjoy the ride in the meantime."

"Well, I'm glad you feel this way. So I'll need to stop by to meet my grandson or granddaughter." Don't come yet… Please!

"Yeah, I'll let you know mum. Luka and I need some time together right now; it's a lot we need to get used to…"

"Right, it's a change. Anyway, if you need anything call me. You know where to find me."

I hear the lock of the door and Luka comes in. I look at him and smile. He leaves his coat at the hanger and then walks towards me.

"I gotta go now. Talk to you later ok?"

"Yeah, ok. Love you sweetie."

"Love you too. Bye."

I disconnect the call and Luka's inquiring eyes are on me.

"Hi."

"Hi." He kisses me softly on the lips. "Was that your mum?" he asks while raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah… I guess I found some courage and decided to give her a call." I leave the phone back at the receiver and sit down on the couch.

"Good. How did she take it?" He walks to the couch too and sits next to me.

"Great, she is excited… Happy for us."

"See, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"You say that now that she is not here."

"Abby…"

"I know…" I sigh. "So how was the rest of your shift? Any news about Jodie and Clemente?"

"Not really… I'm not sure how he got into that mess, and I rather not know about it."

"I guess you are right."

"Want to get something to eat now or wait?"

"I'm not hungry right now… I ate some ice cream while in the ER."

"Ice cream? I thought you were going to eat better."

"I was in the need of some sugar. Oh… speaking of which… Morris knows I'm pregnant."

"You told him?"

"Not really he kind of figured it out when he saw me eating another ice cream."

"Another? How many did you eat?" I did say another, didn't I? Oh now I'm busted!

I look away trying not to meet his eyes.

"Three…"

"Three? No kidding he figured it out! This means I need to make something nutritive tonight."

"So now that Morris knows the whole ER will know by the end of the week."

"Good thing I talked to Sam today then." He told Sam? Oh God, now how am I going to face her tomorrow? One thing is dating, another one is having a baby with her ex!

"You talked to her?"

"Yeah, I had to tell her. I didn't want her to find out by other means."

"Right. How did she take it?"

"She was shocked, naturally." No wonder.

"Well, she probably felt betrayed. I know you weren't dating when it happened but still… It hurts when your ex tells you he is going to have a baby with someone else." This reminds me of that stupid letter.

"You felt that way when Carter came back with Kem?"

"Sort of… But at least you didn't break up with her through a letter that the whole ER read!"

"The whole ER read the letter?"

"Didn't you know? As the gossip mill works in the ER I thought you knew. Frank got hold of the letter, don't ask me how, but he did… and everyone had read it by the time I got it back." I really don't want to talk about the letter, it makes me angry. After all this time it still makes me angry.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. I should've burnt it instead of tossing it in the garbage."

"That bad?"

"What?"

"I mean, you wanted to get rid of it… That bad?"

"Let's just say it wasn't… comforting at the moment." Nice way to put it.

"I'm sorry I had to be the messenger of it."

"You had nothing to do with the letter. Besides you didn't actually give it to me so it's not as if I can tie the memory directly to you."

"I guess so…" he sighs.

"How about we get some food now? I'm getting hungry and the smell from the restaurant at the corner isn't helping."

"Ok, I'll cook something. Why don't you relax for while…? It was a long day."

"Either way I don't think I have much energy to move around." I grab the remote control of the TV trying to find something interesting to watch while Luka heads to the kitchen to cook. What a day!
