Chapter :4 And Baby Makes 3
Dr. Lucy Carter was approaching the admit desk . She sees Elizabeth standing there with her new baby boy whom she helped deliver two months ago." Hey Elizabeth." She smiled. "Hi Lucy, Wow you've gotten bigger since the last time I saw you." She giggled. "Gee thanks" Lucy rubs her bulging belly "I'll be glad when I can see my feet again." Elizabeth smiled. "Would you like to hold little David." Lucy smiles "I sure would!" She places the tiny bundle in Lucy's arms. Lucy looks down at the cooing infant. "Hello there David Douglas Greene." she loved holding babies. She sighed for it wouldn't be long before she was holding her and Carter's baby in her arms. Her thoughts were broken by the sound of her pager. Lucy kisses the baby's forehead and hands him back to his mother. "See you later Elizabeth duty calls."
Later that day Lucy was in the suture room. She finishing up the sutures on a 9 year old girl's hand lac when the pain hit. Lucy grabbed her stomach and let out a scream. The little girl became worried "Dr. Carter are you okay?" She looks at her young patient but before she can say anything the pain starts again and its even worse than before. She clutches her stomach and collapses on to the floor. "Dr. Carter! I'm going to get help." The little girl runs out of the suture room in search of help.
Kerry spots the little girl standing in the hallway. "Hi I'm Dr. Weaver are you okay?" She nodded. "I'm Kellie, I'm ok but my doctor isn't she needs help." Kerry nodded. "Okay Kellie can you show me where she is." Kerry follows the little girl to the suture room. She saw Lucy laying on the floor clutching her stomach. "Lucy are you okay!" She moans "Kerry the baby its coming." Tears were sliding down her cheeks. "I'm scared." She whispered. Kerry pushes the hair out of her face "Shh its ok everything's going to be okay."
She runs out into the hallway she spots Carol. "Carol we need a gurney over here" She grabs a gurney and races to the suture room. "What do we have?" she asked. "Its Lucy she's in labor help me get her on the gurney." Carol and Kerry lift her onto the gurney. Lucy looks up at Kerry "Please I want to stay down here I don't want to go up to OB I want you to deliver this baby." She sighed softly. "I don't know about that." Lucy squeezes her hand "Please." She pleaded. Kerry nodded. "Okay but only if I can call in Abby she was an OB nurse we may need her." Lucy only nods her head she was having another contraction.
Carol pages Abby to exam room one. "Carter I want Carter." Lucy whimpered. "Okay sweetie don't worry we'll find him." Kerry said soothingly. She then tells Carol to page Carter. Abby rushes in and sees Lucy. "Hey Lucy." She looked at her "It hurts so much where's Carter I want Carter." She cried. "Don't worry he'll be here. " Abby said asureingly. "Do you want something for the pain?" she asked. I love the epidermal man you'd love him too." Carol said with a giggle. Abby laughed remembering when Carol was in labor with the twins. "No I don't want anything for the pain. I just want my husband!" She cried.
Meanwhile Carter was finishing with a patient. "Now remember Ms. Rivers only take this medication on a full stomach." Ms. Rivers smiled. "Thank you Dr. Carter" Just then Carter feels his pager vibrating. He looked at it "Hmm." He mumbled. He walks over to the admit desk. "Hey Randi what's going on why did Dr. Weaver page me to exam room one." Randi looked at him. "Dr. Carter you don't know?" He looked at her. "know what?" he asked. "Lucy is in labor." She told him. "What!!" He races to exam room one. When he walks in Kerry is examining Lucy while Abby held her hand. Carter goes over to Lucy and takes her hand form her. "I'm here Luce everything is going to be okay." Lucy looks at Carter but doesn't get a chance to say anything she is hit with a big contraction she was squeezing Carter's hand tightly in hers. As soon as the contraction ends He tell her he'll be right over here talking to Kerry. Lucy nods her head.
"Kerry why haven't you given her anything for the pain?" he asked. "Calm down John. Lucy said she didn't want anything for the pain." Carter nodded "Okay" He looks at her. "Kerry, Lucy isn't due for almost another month the baby will be ok won't it." He asked. She places her hand on his shoulder and "Don't worry John everything will be ok."
"Kerry Lucy's water just broke." Abby informed her. Kerry and Carter return to Lucy. Carter strokes her damp hair "Don't worry Luce just think soon we'll be parents." She looks at him. "Oh shut up!" she smirked.
Kerry examines Lucy again. "Okay on your next contraction I want you to push." Lucy starts crying. "I can't I'm too tired." Carter takes her hand and looks right into her big blue eyes "Yes you can Lucy you are the strongest person I know and you never give up." She sighed. "Oh Carter I'm not strong." He nodded "Yes you are Luce. Remember Corrine You wouldn't give up until we found her father ,when you were a medical student no matter how hard of a time I gave you and you never gave up." "and when Paul Sorbriki stabbed us nobody thought you'd survive but you did and after all we were through you found the strength to allow yourself to be loved and I'm glad you did because Lucy Carter I love you more than anything." Lucy was crying even more "I love you too."
When Lucy's next contraction hit Carter held her up as she pushed. "You're doing great Lucy you're crowning it won't be long now." Kerry informed her. After a few more pushes Kerry announces that the head is out. Lucy's face is covered in sweat. "Come on Lucy one more good push and your baby will be here." Lucy sighed with exhaustion. "Can't you just pull it out I'm so tired." She pats her knee. "I know you are sweetie and after this last push you can rest." Carter gently holds Lucy up and she pushes and the room is finally filled with the sounds of a baby. "It's A Boy!. " Kerry shouted. She places the baby on Lucy's stomach and hands Carter a clamp and "Time to cut the cord dad!" "Oh Carter he's beautiful. Lucy whispered. Carter smiled. "Just like his mother."
Kerry takes the baby and cleans him off and weights him. "Is he ok" Lucy asks. Kerry nodded "He's a prefect 6lb 3oz baby boy" She places the baby in Lucy's arms "Now all he needs is a name." Lucy looks at Carter. He shakes his head. "Guys meet John Robert Carter. Carol smiled "I'll go make the announcement to the ER" She slips out of the room.
Carol goes over to the admit desk she sees Malucci, Luka, Peter, Jing Mei, Cleo, Mark, Doug, Malik, Chuni, Yosh, Conni, Lydia, and Randi all scattered about the ER even Elizabeth was still there sitting behind the admit desk feeding little David. She smiled. "Everyone if I could get your attention I have an announcement to make." By now all eyes were on Carol. "Lucy gave birth to a healthy 6lb 3oz baby boy his name John Robert Carter." Cheers and claps could be heard all threw the ER
Later that day after Lucy had been settled in her room all her and Carter's friends came up to visit and get a glimpse of the newest Carter. Lucy and Carter were finally alone but not for long there was a tap on the door Lucy says come in. Carter is shocked to see Dr. Ramono walk in. Lucy smiles "Hi Dr. Romano." He smiled nervously. "I, I heard you had the baby and I was wondering if," he paused. "Would you like to see him." She asked. "Yes." He replied. "He's beautiful." She smiled "Thank you, would you like to hold him?" Carter gives her a look. Dr. Ramono nodded. Lucy places the baby in his arms. They see a side of Ramono they've never seen before for he coos at the small bundle. "So Dr. Carter what's his name?" He had caught Carter off guard because Ramono hardly ever spoke to him. "His name is John Robert Carter." Ramono looks down at the baby in his arms "Welcome to the world John Robert." He then hands the baby back to Lucy. "Id better get going so you can get some rest." He was about to leave "Dr. Ramono, Thank you" He turns around "For what." Lucy smiles. "For my family, If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be alive today. I wouldn't be married to John Carter and holding our baby in my arms." Dr. Ramono didn't know what to say. His voice was shaky as he said "You're welcome Lucy." Lucy and Carter both could have swore they saw a tear slide down Dr. Ramono's cheek as he left the room.
Now Lucy and Carter were alone once again. Carter sat on the bed next to Lucy. She leans on him. "I'm soo tired." She whispered. Carter pulls his wife and newborn son into his arms. It doesn't take for Lucy long to fall asleep. He kisses her forehead and whispers "I love you Luce." He places a small kiss on the top of his son's head "I love you too John Robert. " Carter soon drifted off to sleep holding his family close to him.
