Abby walked past the nursery and smiled. All the babies were asleep except one, who was screaming his head off. Her smile quickly faded as she felt her stomach lurch. She ran fat into the bathroom and threw up into the nearest toilet. She groaned as she stood up.

Abby walked to the sink and splashed cold water on her face. She stared at herself in the mirror. She was extremely pale. Abby had been throwing up like this for the past two days. She bit her lip and went down stairs.

"Randi, have you seen Luka?" Abby asked walking up to the admit desk/ Randi didn't even look up from the computer screen.

"He's in Exam four with a patient." Abby smacked the desk.

"Ah...Thanks." Abby sighed walking to the room. She quickly knocked on the door and walked in, "Hey." Luka smiled when he saw her.

"Hi there." He said, "aren't you off?"

"Right now yeah." Abby said running her hand through her hair, "When you off?"

"Two more hours." Abby nodded.

"Okay. Love you." Abby said walking out of the room. Luka turned back to his elderly patient.

"Is that your wife?" She asked.

"Soon-to-be wife." Luka smiled.

"She's quite a looker." He nodded.

"That she is."

Abby unzippered her jacket as she entered the drugstore. Her heart raced as she glanced down every aisle. She finally found the aisle she was looking for. She slowly made her way down it and stared at the display. There are so many? Which do I get? Shit, why couldn't I just do this at work?

"Do you need help ma'am? Abby turned around to face a clerk whose nametag said Tammy.

"Um.... I ah.." Abby looked over at the display unable to form the words. Tammy laughed.

"I recommend E.P.T. it's the error proof test." Tammy chuckled knowing she sounded like a commercial. "It really is good if you need an immediate answer." Tammy took a pregnancy test off the shelf and handed it to Abby. "There's nothing to be afraid of." Abby nodded and took it.

"Thanks-Thanks." Abby looked at the pregnancy test as if it was a vile of Ebola.

"People take them all the time, Ma'am." Tammy said, "It's better to find out early before it's too late." Abby looked at her and nodded.

"Yes I know. Thank you." Abby sighed and walked up to the cash register. She felt so odd up there buying a pregnancy test. She felt like a fourteen-year-old buying her first box of tampons. She paid for it and walked outside. The mid-April air swished around her as she walked to her apartment.

I could really use a drink right now. A big mug of frosty beer, Abby thought as she flushed the toilet. Her hands shook as she put the stick on the edge of the sick and set the egg timer for ten minutes. She bit her lip and walked out of the bathroom.

"I need to make dinner." Abby mumbled walking into the kitchen. She really couldn't believe that she was taking a pregnancy test. Abby filled up a pot with water and set it on the stove to boil. She sluggishly set the table as she heard the egg timer go off. A small gasp got caught in her throat.

Abby slowly made her way to the bathroom. She stood in the doorway staring at the sick. There was the pregnancy test. Just lying. Abby took a deep breath and walked over to the sink. She closed her eyes tightly and picked up the stick. Her heart raced so fast she thought I'd leap from her chest. Plus sign s positive. Minus sign is negative, She though. Abby opened her eyes and stared at the pink negative sign.

A few tears escaped from her eyes. She wasn't sure if she was happy or not that it was negative. Abby took in a deep breath and quickly cleaned up so Luka wouldn't get his hopes up. Abby walked into the kitchen and started making dinner. I can't tell Luka. I just cant. Abby heard the front door unlock and open.

"Honey, I'm home." Luka chuckled, walking in and taking his jacket off. Abby took a deep breath and walked out.

"Hey you." She smiled; "Dinner will be ready in a second."

'Hummm.... You cooking...that cant be good." Abby stuck her tongue out.

"Shut up." Luka walked up to her.

"Are you feeling all right?" He asked, "You don't look so well?"

"Ah...I think it's just the flu or something." Abby said.

"Then you sit down. I can serve dinner up." Abby nodded and sat down. This whole ordeal had drained her. She quickly pushed it from her mind as Luka served dinner and they ate.

Abby slowly crawled into her soft and comfortable bed. Luka stripped down into his boxers and walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

"Oh the florist called and he said he has those lilies." Luka said.

"Great." Abby smiled snuggling into the bed. "I liked what he did with the pictures he showed us." She yawned. Luka chuckled flossing his teeth.

"Lilies are cool." Luka chuckled tossing the floss away. A pink box caught his eye. Luka stared at it. No.that isn't what I think it is.....He picked up the box. "Ah...Abby?"

"Abby is asleep right now please leave a message after the beep." Abby mumbled, "beep." Luka stood in the doorway.

'What's this?" Luka held up the pregnancy test. Shit, Abby thought.

"It's a pregnancy test, silly." Abby joked, "you're a doctor and you didn't know what one was?"

'This isn't a time for jokes." Luka said sitting on the edge of the bed. Abby sat up fixing her hair.

"Listen you don't have to worry. It was negative." Abby said.

"Why would I worry?"

"I don't want to talk about it okay??" Abby snapped. Luka looked at her. He could see the sadness in her eyes. Luka put the test down.

"Did you want it to be positive?" He asked. Abby bit her lip.

"No...Yes...I don't know." Abby said as a few tears escaped from her eyes. Luka sighed.

"Sweetheart...Are you okay?" He asked taking her hand. She started to cry. He drew her into a hug. "Don't cry, please."

"I don't know why I am. It's just.... At first I was really scared that I w-was pregnant...I didn't want a baby. I didn't want to.... Give the b-baby the kind of childhood I had." Abby sniffed into his chest "But then...I started thinking about it...a-and how the b-baby would be yours and how g-great a father your w-would be and how I really of w-want a baby.... I see mothers everyday and I want that. A-and when it said.... I wasn't...I don't know.... Maybe I am crazy." Luka brushed back her hair.

"You're not crazy sweetheart." Luka said, "I think having a baby with you is a wonderful idea...I can't wait until we can start a family. When you're ready we can start because thinking about the fact that I could be the father of your children.... It makes me feel...I can't even explain it." Abby smiled slightly.

"Do you mean that?" She asked wiping her tears.

"I love you, Abby." Luka said, "I can't wait to marry you and father your children." Abby smiled as she felt her heart swelling.

"I love you so much, Luka." She whispered and kissed his chin.

"Come on. I'm tired. Let's sleep." Luka said as they laid down on the bed.

"Sounds good to me."
