Randi scratched her head as she sat at the computer. Dead. Today was dead. No excitement. Nothing. The phone started to ring. She sighed and picked it up.

"Cook County ER." Randi said, "All right...what's your ETA? All right. Bring him on in." Randi hung up the phone and looked around the ER. "Hey Chuny, where's Kovac?"

"I don't know. He went to get some Saline ten minutes ago but I haven't seen him since." Chuny said putting a chart back.

'Find him. There's head trauma about ten minutes away."

"Okay." Chuny nodded and went to the supply closet. A soft moaned made Chuny stop in her tracks. A smile spread across her face as she slowly and quietly opened the door. "Next time you should lock the door." Abby and Luka immediately pulled apart, fixing their clothes.

"Chuny." Luka said making sure there was no lipstick on his face. Abby hid behind Luka tucking her shirt back not her pants. Chuny chuckled.

"We have a head trauma coming in." She smirked. "Hi Abby." Abby peeked out from behind Luka.

'Ah...hi." Abby blushed. Chuny chuckled and walked into the hallway. Abby cleared her throat, "continue this at home?"

"You can count on it." Luka smiled putting his lab coat back on. Abby giggled. He looked up at her with a raised eyebrow. "What?" She scratched her neck and looked away, "What?"

"Um..." Abby giggled again, "I um...You have a hickey."

"A hickey?" Luka raised his eyebrow. Abby nodded.

"On your neck."

"Oh. Oh!" Luka instinctively covered his neck. Abby snickered.

"Head trauma, Dr. Kovac." Luka smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I know." Luka said as he walked out into the hallway. A Hickey? Great. Everyone will know what we were doing in here...if Chuny hasn't spread the gossip yet.

"Way to go, Kovac." Dave said walking up to him.

"Excuse me?" Dave motioned to his neck. "Oh...Thanks Chuny."

"No problem, Dr. Kovac." Chuny chuckled walking out into the ambulance bay. Luka smiled walking out with her.

Abby slowly walked up the stairs to the maternity ward. A smile was still plastered on her face when she walked to the nurse's station.

'Oooh, you're in trouble Lockhart." Pat hirshum said. Abby looked at her.

"What do you mean? Abby asked glancing through the charts.

"Coburn has been paging you for fifteen minutes." Pat said. Abby groaned.

"Shit."

"She's in four." Pat said. Abby sighed.

"Thanks." Abby took a deep breath in and walked down the hallway to four. She knocked softly. "Dr. Coburn?"

"Nice of you to join us, Nurse Lockhart." Janet snuffed as Abby walked in. "I've been paging you for a long time."

"I know. I'm sorry." Abby said putting some plastic gloves. She nodded to the pregnant woman laying in bed. "I was in the middle of a case down in the ER."

"Well, you work here now. If you want to get back into emergency medicine, go back to school." Janet glanced up at Abby, "This is Sarah Thompson. She's fully effaced and ready to push."

"All right." Abby nodded walking to her bedside. "Hi Sarah. I'm Abby Lockhart and I'll help you through this. How are you feeling?"

"How do you think?" Sarah moaned as a contraction started to come.

'All right, Sarah." Abby took her hand, "Let's push. Count to ten." Sarah took in a deep breath, "1...2...3...4...Great. You're doing well. 5...6...7..8..9..10 and breath."

"Oh god." Sarah moaned, Abby smiled.

"that was beautiful." Janet said. "A few more pushes like that and you'll have a brand new baby girl."

"Oh god. I can't do this." Sarah said. Abby patted her head with a cloth, "It hurts."

"it's all right, Sarah." Abby said, "You can do it. I promise it'll be well worth it. Are you ready to push?"

"no, but I will." Abby chuckled softly and gripped Sarah's hand.

"All right. 1...2...3...4...5...6...excellent...7...8...9..10. beautiful, Sarah' Abby smiled.

"That was wonderful, Sarah. the baby's head is out." Janet said. Abby smiled glancing down. "Here...Feel the baby's head." Janet took Sarah's hand and guided it too the baby's head.

"Oh my god." Sarah said. Abby smiled.

"there's your baby." Abby said softly, "Come on, Sarah. A couple of more pushes and you can hold the baby in your arms." Sarah smiled at Abby. "Okay, a contraction is coming...Let's push."

"Yes. let's have a really good push." Janet said, "give it your all."

'Let's go. Push....1...2...3...4...5...6...7..beauiful....8...9...10." Abby wiped Sarah's forehead.

"it burns. it hurts."

"You're having a baby." Abby smiled, "Come on."

"One more push, Sarah." Janet said.

"Did you hear that, Sarah?" Abby asked, "One more push. you can do it. I know you can. Push. 1...2....3...4....5...6...7...8...9...10."

"Oh god!!" Janet pulled the baby out. The cries rang through the room. Abby smiled. She loved this moment. the moment when mother and child meet for the first time, "What is it?? Is it okay??"

"It's a girl and she's beautiful." Janet smiled as Abby put a cloth on Sarah's chest.

'you have a daughter." Abby whispered. Janet put the baby on Sarah's chest.

'Sh-She's so beautiful." Sarah begun to cry, kissing the little girl's forehead.

"Do you have a name picked out yet?" Abby asked.

"No." Abby took the baby from Sarah's hands.

"I need to get her washed up now." she said walking over and weighing the baby, taking her stats and everything. Abby smiled at the Baby. She was adorable. huge blue eyes, soft whips of blond hair, chubby cheeks.

"Abby." Sarah said. Abby turned around.

'Ah...yeah?" Sarah smiled.

"That's her name. Abigail Hannah." Abby smiled.

"I think that's a fine name." Abby turned back to the baby, "Welcome to the world, Abigail Hannah."

Luka stood over his patient. A ten year old boy with cerebral palsy. Luka checked the boy's eyes and vitals.

:How did this happen?" Luka looked towards the mother.

"I was in the bathroom. I just turned my back for a second," Dana Silver said, "And...he fell. He fell down the stairs." Luka nodded.

"Well, he seems to be responding well, but I think I'll order a head CT just to rule out anything I can't see." Luka said

"o-Okay." Dana said as Luka and Lydia walked out. "Let's get a head CT and call social services.'

"Social services?" Lydia asked. Luka nodded.

"The boy is malnourished and he has bedsores down his back. he clearly hasn't been let out of bed for a long time." Luka said, "He was probably locked in a room, forgotten, because of his condition."

"Okay." Lydia bit her lip walking to the admit desk. Luka sighed running his hand through his hair. he hated cases like this. he hated parents like that. Why couldn't everyone accept their children for who they were? Was loving a child so hard? Luka sighed as he walked up to the admit desk.

:Your still here, Luka?" Mark asked walking up next to him.

"Ah...Yes." Luka said, "I am just finishing off some cases."

"All right." Mark nodded. "get some sleep."

"I'll try." Luka chuckled as Abby bounced to the admit desk. "Why are you so cheerful?"

"I just had a baby named after me." She smiled. "it's not every day that happens."

"No it isn't." Luka said, "You must have been a very good nurse."

"Aren't I always?" Abby winked at him.

"Well, yes." Luka chuckled signing a few charts. "I'm off. Aren't you?"

"Yes I am." Abby boasted. "I want a baby." If Luka were drinking something, he would have choked.

"What?" Luka asked. Randi's ears perked up. Abby rolled her eyes.

"I want a baby. I want to experience that joy I see everyday upstairs." Abby said, "I want to be a mother." Luka took this in and cleared his throat.

"Well...We'll be married soon and then we can start on a family." Luka said. Randi glanced at Lydia. Abby smiled lopsided.

"We need to set a date." Abby smiled taking his hand.

"We'll do that tonight, all right?" Luka asked. Abby bit her lip.

"And maybe have a go on that starting a family thing?" She winked at him. Luka nodded.

"Let's go home."
