Back to Your Heart
Part 5
Susan woke up later that night to see that Carter hadn't moved from where she left him last night he was curled up on the couch sleeping like a baby, she had felt something between them the night before that she had felt before but had ignored it cause she thought it was wrong at that time but he was still the same old Carter cute, little boy who is learning his way out in the world, but he was older now and much more mature, she walked over to him and covered him up with a blanket she found in the closet, he stirred and then wrapped the covers closer to him
"Thank you Susan," he said
"Your welcome Carter, goodnight" she said as she went back to bed. She woke up the next morning with a bit of a hangover but it wasn't bad, she saw Carter stirring as she started to get the coffee ready for today
"Morning sleepy head" she said as she saw Carter sit up
"Good morning, I really hope there is some asprin around here," he said searching through the cabinets
"Yeah they are over here I needed one earlier" she said pointing to the bottle on the kitchen counter
"Thanks Susan, so what time do you have to be in today?" he asked after taking a couple of asprin
"Ten, how about you?" she asked
"Nine unfortunately" he said as he grabbed a cup of coffee
"Well you better go and get ready it's already a quarter to eight" she said
"Yeah I better get going," he said as he walked into his room. He came out showered and ready for work he looked like his hangover had never happened
"Did you save me any hot water?" she asked
"Yeah there should be enough in there I better get going Ill see you at work" he said almost on his way out the door "Hey what are you doing for lunch today?" he asked her before she went into the bathroom
"I don't know I will have to see" she said
"Well why don't we go and get something" he said
"Okay I will see you at work" she said. She got to work and noticed that things were abnormally not busy "That's weird she said as she walked into the lounge and put her stuff in her locker and walked over to the board to check if there were any patients to take and it was empty, well I guess this gives me time to relax
"Hey Susan" Carter said "Pretty slow huh?" he said
"Yeah I don't say anything to loud cause if memory serves me it will get busy fast," she said laughing
"Yeah it can do that," he said "So do you want to go and get some coffee?" he said
"Sure cause we don't do that enough" she laughed. They walked over to Doc Magoos and saw almost everyone over there "Hey guys" Susan said as she walked in
"Hey Susan its Susan right Dave said
"Yes and its Mallatuci right" she asked trying to mess with his mind
"Have a seat Susan were just sitting here talking" Luka said trying to apologize for Dave's rudeness
"So what were you guys talking about" Carter asked
"There is a rumor going around about that shooter we had last summer," Dave said
"What shooter?" Susan asked
"Well last May some guy went on a shooting rampage and finally someone shot him in the park and he was brought him here" Dave said "Well the rumor is that when he was on the elevator and Mark said he couldn't save him when he arrested is a lie I heard that he killed him" Dave said
"Dave you know that's a lie Mark has too much of a conscience to do something like that" Carter said
"Well I'm just repeating what I heard I for one don't believe it" Dave said. As soon as he said that Mark walked in
"Hi Dr. Greene" Luka said
"Hey guys what are you all talking about?" he asked as he grabbed another table and moved it to the one they were sitting at
"Nothing much Dr. Greene, just some stories going around" Carter said
"Oh anything interesting" he asked
"No just the same old rumors and lies Mark" Susan said
"You know I need to get back I think my beeper is going off," Dave said
"I didn't hear anything," Luka said
"I have it on vibrate" Dave said on his way out
"He is really odd" Susan said
"That's our Dave" Carter joked, "So Susan are you hungry Ill pay," Carter said
"Yeah I am I think were both to sick this morning to eat," she laughed
"What did you guys do last night?" Mark asked
"We just drank a little too much" Carter said, "And Susan made those horrible tequilas
"I know she can't make a good tequila," Mark said
"Well I say we get the big breakfast," Susan said
"Oh so you're going to make me pay all that money huh?" Carter asked
"Sure if you going to have a rich friend they might as well buy you a big breakfast" Susan said
"Okay but you are buying dinner tonight" Carter said, "Mark what are you going to get" Carter asked
"Nothing I'm not really hungry" Mark said, "And actually I need to get back and go check on Ella she is in daycare for the first time today
"Okay how about you Luka you hungry I'm paying?" he asked
"Sure Ill take you up on your offer" Luka said. The waitress showed up and they told her their orders and she walked off
"So Luka what part of Croatia are you from?" she asked
"Vukavor" he said
"Ooh is it nice there?" she asked
"Yeah I went back there for Christmas and they rebuilt it and it looks better since the war" he said looking down into his coffee cup
"Luka! there you are I've been looking all over for you" Abby said as she walked through the door
"Hi Abby" Luka said, "Have you met Susan?" yes I have hey Susan
"Hi Abby why don't you sit down and join us" Susan said
"Sure why not its still slow in there and Kerry is off today so I don't think we have to worry about her" Abby said sitting next to Luka
"You hungry Abby?" Luka asked as he put his arm around her
"Yeah but I think Ill just pick at your plate" she said, as she gave him a kiss
"You know what I think we better leave these two lovebirds alone," Carter said
"You know what I agree," Susan said, they went to sit at the counter and finally got their food and told the waiter to send the other plate over to Luka who was sitting with Abby Eskimo kissing
"They are sure a pair" Susan said
"Yeah they are but they are good for each other" Carter said. They ate their food and decided to walk back over to the hospital to see if there was anything to do
"We still slow Randi?" Carter asked when he walked in the door
"Yeah Dr. Carter still nothing" she said smacking her gum looking at a magazine
"Why don't we go into the lounge and watch TV?" he said
"Yeah sounds good" she said as she walked into the lounge, Mark was already in there talking on the phone
"Okay sweetie I guess we can reschedule for another time, I got to go now Ill call you tonight…Okay bye honey" Mark said hanging up the phone
"Rachel?" Carter asked
"Yeah she was planning to come out here this weekend but she broke her ankle and cant make it out" he said taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes
"Sorry Dr. Greene" he said
"Eh what can you do she's a teenager a lot of things happen when you are a teenager" he said
"Yeah well I hope she gets better," Carter said looking for the remote
"So what is on at this time of the day?" Susan asked as Carter flipped the TV on
"I don't know Jerry Springer with the usual I cheated on you with your cousin or something like that" Carter said laughing
"I would be surprised if they had one show that someone did not cheat on their wife or lover," she said
"Mark what do you think we should watch?" Carter asked
"I don't care Carter whatever you want to watch," he said as he stormed out
"What was that all about?" Susan asked
"I don't know Ill go out there and talk to him" he walked outside and caught up to Mark "Hey what the hell is your problem man?" Carter asked
"What are you trying to flaunt your happiness with Susan in my face on purpose?" Mark said obviously upset
"What are you talking about Mark?" he asked
"You know what I mean!" Mark said
"Oh I get it you think that me and Susan have something going on?" Carter said
"Well the way that you act around her its kind of obvious" Mark said
"Nothing is going on Mark and even if it was you had your chance with her and you blew it, you have a lovely wife and kid now she can go on with her life too and I just wish you would be happy for her" Carter said
"I know I should be I'm just a little upset and I didn't mean to take it out on you and her" he said
"That's okay Dr. Greene, what are you doing after work?" he asked
"I'm going to go home eat and try to go to bed if Ella lets us" Mark said
"Well I have a niece that can watch Ella and why don't you and Elizabeth come to my house and we can sit and talk about old times" he said
"Yeah, that sounds good Carter, Ill take you up on that," he said as he walked off. Carter walked back into the lounge
"Everything okay?" Susan asked
"Yeah I talked to him and he was a little upset about Rachel not being able to come over and I told him why doesn't he and Elizabeth come over tonight, if that's all right with you?" he asked
"Sure we can all catch up on old times," she said as she went back to watching TV
