This story takes place around Loose Ends and Such Sweet Sorrow. Carter never battled drug addiction. Instead he got support from Kerry Weaver and their friendship blossomed into love. They are now newlyweds (I know the idea of Kerry and Carter together is appalling to some ER fans but I love the idea of them as a couple. They are two lost souls that I think should be together! So sorry if I've grossed anyone out but don't worry this fic doesn't really have much Kerry and Carter romance in it.) Mark and Elizabeth are dating.

Summery :This story is the way I think Doug and Carol should have been reunited!!
Together Again
Chapter 3: He's Back
Doug was sitting back sipping on a Coke when the flight attendant's voice came over the intercom. She said "We will be landing at O'Hare Airport in Chicago in ten minutes so please return your seats to the upright position and buckle your seat belts.
Twenty minutes later Doug went to the baggage claim and retrieved his bags. He went outside and hailed a cab. He checked himself into the Drake Hotel and he now stood outside the County General ER. He let out a breathe and put his hand on the door handle. He pushed open the door and stepped inside. He looked around. He noticed a few things had changed. There was a few new faces and some old ones were gone. He spotted someone familiar kicking the pop machine in the waiting area. He walks over " I found that tapping it in just the right spot works" Doug taps the machine sending a can of coke out. Carter turns to say thank you and gets a big surprise. "Doug what are you doing here?" he asked. " I'm working here again" he replied. "Really that's great!" he pops open his can of soda and that 's when Doug noticed the silver wedding band on Carter's finger. " Carter when did you get married?" Carter smiled "A few months ago." Doug smiled "So who's the Mrs. Do I know her?" Carter was about to answer when Kerry approached them. " Hey Doug you made it." He nodded" Kerry I just want to thank you again for giving me another chance" She smiles" Your welcome" she replied. He looked at her "Did you know Carter got married?" he asked. Kerry smiles she shows himher ring and says "Yes" Doug smiles "Wow you two I never would have thought you two would be together." He hugs her and tells them both congratulations.
Kerry shows Doug around the ER so she can introduce him to everyone. They go into an exam room one where Cleo is examing a five year old with an ear ache. Kerry smiles "Doug this is Cleo Finch she's also a peds attending and Cleo this is Doug Ross he'll be an attending along side you. Cleo and Doug shake hands and say "Nice to meet you."
They move on to the suture room where Abby was suturing a hand lac. "Doug I want you to meet Abby Lockhart third year medical student." Doug smiles "Hi Abby I'm Doug Ross the new peds attending." Abby blushed a little. "Are you Carol's Doug?" He nodded " Yes that would be me" She smiles "I was with Carol when Kate was born I was her OB nurse." He looked at her "I thought you were a med student?" She nodded "I am but I was a nurse and sometimes I take a few shifts up in OB" Kerry tapped his shoulder "Come on Doug there's a few more people I want you to meet" He nodded "It was nice meeting you Abby." Abby smiled and said "Same here."
Abby watched him leave the room. She understood why Carol was so crazy about him . He was gorgeous. She sighed and continued her suturing.
Kerry saw Luka standing by the ambulance bay with Malucci. She and Doug walk over there. " Luka, Dave I want you to meet the new attending Doug Ross" As soon as Luka heard that name he became furious. " Doug this is Luka Kovac and Dave Malucci" Kerry told him. Malucci shook his hand "Doug my man you're my hero" Doug laughed and said "Why is that" Malucci grinned " I heard you had a way with the ladies." Doug chuckled. Doug extended his hand to Luka but he just looked at it. " Why are you here haven't you hurt Carol enough" He walks away leaving Kerry, Doug, and Malucci standing there stunned. Just then Mark runs over to them. "Hey Doug how are you" he asked. He smiled "Hey buddy!" "I was great until this Dr. Kovac yelled at me and said I hurt Carol enough that I shouldn't be here." Doug goes on to say "Mark, Carol and my girls is the main reason I'm here. I want to make up for all the mistakes I made."
Mark smiled " That's great Doug. Don't let Luka get to you he just cares alot about Carol." He's the one that found her on the EL in labor and when she passed out he carried her all the way to the ER in the snow." He replied. "Really I didn't know that Carol only told me that Kerry delivered Tess in the ER and that Kate had to be delivered by C section. She also told me she bled out and that because of you she is still able to have more children" He looks at Mark and Kerry. He says "Thank you both for being there for Carol and my girls." Kerry smiles "It was a pleasure helping Carol, but John got mad at me because I kicked him out you should have seen him he was whining and pouting." Doug laughs " I wish I could have seen that."
Doug looks over at the admit desk and that's when he saw her. She still looked beautiful as ever. There she was his Carol all he had to do was walk over there and talk to her tell her he loved her missed her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but he just stood there. He was nervous and a little scared. What if she didn't love him anymore what if she moved on with someone new like that Luka guy that seemed very upset about his return. Doug decided if he wanted to know how she felt he needed to ask so he took a deep breathe and slowly walked toward the admit desk.
