Chapter 2: Secrets
February 14, 2001 today is Valentine's Day but this year there is no Valentine's Day decorations in the ER. Nobody was passing out Valentines Day cards and there would be no party. Most of the ER staff dreaded Valentine's Day for last year on Valentine's Day they had almost lost two of their own.
Kerry walked into the ER she was remembering how last Valentine's Day she had walked into a loud party and then minutes later she had found two of her friends Lucy and Carter laying in exam room 3 in pools of their own blood. She shook the awful memory from her mind. She went to the lounge and changed into her lab coat. She walks over to the admit desk she sees Lucy standing there. "Hi Lucy are you okay?" Lucy sighed "I swear if one more person asks me that I'll scream. I'm fine." She insisted.
Carter has been standing at his locker looking in the mirror for ten minutes he was nervous about his proposal to Lucy. He swallows "Well John this it just go out there and ask her." He slams his locker shut. He heads for the door feeling the little box in his pocket.
He rounds the corner. He sees Lucy standing there along with Kerry, Doug, Carol, Peter, Elizabeth, Mark, Malucci, Luka, Abby, Jing-Mei, , Cleo, Randi, as well as all the nurses. It had been a slow day so everyone was just hanging out wait for things to pick up. He walks over to Lucy. "Hi Luce." She smiled. "Hi Carter." He takes her hand. "Can I ask you something?" She nodded "Yeah sure."
Still holding her hand he gets down on one knee. He looks into Lucy's big blue eyes. "Luce last year I almost lost you." "You are the best thing to ever happen to me." "I want to spend the rest of my life with you." "What I'm trying to say is Lucy Joanne Knight will you marry me.? He removes the diamond ring from its box and slips on Lucy's delicate finger. Lucy was crying. Carter as well as all of their friends were waiting for her answer. "Oh Carter I can't say yes yet because there's something you should know first." He looked at her. She looks over at Kerry. Kerry smiles and nods her head. Lucy looked into his warm brown eyes. "Carter I'm "she stops and turns away. He takes her hand he" Luce honey what is it you can tell me." she whispers "I'm pregnant." She slowly turned to look at him. She notices he has tears in his eyes
"Luce did you just say that you're that we're going to have a baby!" She nodded. "Yes." He smiles "Did everyone hear that I'm going to be a father! "He pulls Lucy into his embrace and kisses her. "So Will you marry me." She smiled "I love you John Carter yes I'll marry you." He smiled "She said yes!!" He picks her up and swings her around. As he held her close Lucy looked around the ER at all the happy faces of all her friends and at the happy face of the man she loves more than anything. She realized how happy she was to be alive. She thought in her mind she says to herself "Paul Sorbriki because you attacked us Carter and I grew closer and now we're engaged with a baby on the way. So I say thank you for helping me change my life and making it better." She looked up at her fiancée' "What were you thinking Luce." She smiled "Oh just how happy I'll be when I'm Mrs. John Carter." She stands on her tiptoes and places a kiss on Carter's lips "I love you Carter" He kissed her "I love you too Luce"
