Kerry has some news to share with John and her friends
Chapter 5: Sharing The News
Kerry Weaver-Carter yawned as she walked into the ER. She'd been extra tired ever since her and John returned from their honeymoon in Jamaica several weeks ago. Today was her first day back at work. She looked around. She giggled when she saw Susan holding her nose as she examined a homeless guy. Doug and Cleo trying to hold down a screaming 5 year old. Elizabeth was busy with a surgical consulate and Mark was comforting a patient's family. Kerry smiled she couldn't believe how much she had missed the ER while she was on her honeymoon.
Carol was very happy to see Kerry. "Kerry I'm so glad you're back this pace has a tendency to fall apart when ever your gone and right now we are so swamped do you think you can see the leg wound in exam room 3." Kerry nodded "Of course just let me grab my lab coat. She went to the lounge and retrieved her lab coat from her locker. She grabbed the chart from Carol and headed for exam room 3.
Kerry walked into the exam room with a smile. "Hello Mr. Geller I'm Dr. Weaver and I'm going to take a look at your leg" Mr. Geller nodded. Kerry crossed the room to the patient. She looked down at his leg. There was a big bloody wound with puss around it. Kerry felt her stomach flip flop she covered her mouth and ran to the ladies room. She made her way in to one of the stalls and sank to the ground. She leaned over the toilet and got sick to her stomach. Kerry leaned back on the wall she couldn't understand why she had gotten so sick. She'd seen alot worse with out getting sick.
Elizabeth was walking by exam room 3 when Mr. Geller called to her. She smiled "Yes what can I do for you" Mr. Geller nodded "Yeah find my doctor she looked at my wound and then took off she looked like she was sick." Elizabeth looked at him "Well who was your doctor" Mr. Geller sighed "I don't remember her name but she was short with reddish brown hair with blond highlights and she had a crutch" Elizabeth knew exactly who that was "I'll try and find her for you ok" She ran from the room.
Kerry tried to get up but she got dizzy so she sank back down to the floor. She thought to herself "Maybe I have that Jamaican vomiting sickness that Dave once mentioned" Elizabeth walked into the ladies room just as Kerry got sick again. Elizabeth saw Kerry sitting on the floor with her head over the toilet. She walked over to her friend. "Kerry what's wrong are you ok? Kerry looked up at her "I don't know Elizabeth leg wounds never made me sick before" Elizabeth held her hand out to help Kerry stand up. "Let's get you to an exam room and see if we can find out why you're sick" Kerry slowly rose to her feet and followed Elizabeth to an exam room. Elizabeth looked her over and drew some blood. She smiled at Kerry "I'll be back in a few minutes." Kerry nodded. She laid back on the bed and closed her eyes.
A few minutes later Elizabeth returned. Kerry looked at her "So what is it? is it Jamaican vomiting sickness?" Elizabeth giggled "Oh its not Jamaican vomiting sickness but I'm pretty sure you got in Jamaica" Kerry looked at her with concern. "Elizabeth what does that mean?" Elizabeth sat down next to her. She smiled "Kerry it means you're pregnant" Kerry looked at her and whispered "Pregnant!" She didn't know how she should feel her and John had only been married a few months would they be ready for a baby. Kerry placed her hand on her stomach as tears started to fill her eyes. Elizabeth saw the tears in her friend's eyes. "Kerry aren't you happy about the baby" Kerry nodded :Yes I am but will John?" Elizabeth sighed "I know I was really worried about telling Mark about Ella but once I told him he was as happy as I was" Kerry grabbed some tissue and dried her face. "Well I guess I better go find John" Elizabeth smiled "Ok you know you can come find me if you need to talk" Kerry hugged her. "Thank you Elizabeth" She headed out the door to find John.
Kerry found Carter he was with a patient. She walked into the room. She whispers "John do you have a minute I need to talk to you its important" Carter looked at her. She looked upset. He told his patient he would send a nurse in to dress the wound. He took Kerry's hand and led her out of the room. He saw Abby. "Hey Abby can you dress the wound in curtain two." Abby nodded "Sure Carter" Carter led Kerry up to the roof. They sat down on the bench. Kerry looked at him but quickly turned when tears started to slide down her cheeks. Carter gently turned her toward him. "Kerry honey what is it what's wrong." Kerry took a deep and whispered "John I'm pregnant" She put her face in her hands as more tears slid down her cheeks.
Carter sat there in silence for a minute letting Kerry's news sink in. He gently moved her hands from her face and looked into her eyes. He whispers "A baby are you sure?" Kerry nodded "Yes John I'm sure" A wide smile spread across John's face. "Wow this is great I'm going to be a father" Kerry dried her face with the sleeve of her lab coat. She looked at him. "It is?" Carter was still smiling "Of course it is don't you see our love created something special" He gently placed his hand on her stomach and whispered "Our baby" Kerry smiled a little "So then you're happy about the baby" Carter still smiled "Kerry I've never been happier" He leaned in and kissed her softly. He whispers "I love you Kerry" Kerry smiled and whispered "I love you too John" They sat there in each other's arms for several minutes. The silence was broken by the sound of two pagers going off. They were both needed in the ER.
When Kerry and Carter walked back into the ER it was a mad house. They were swept into an incoming trauma. It was crowded in the small trauma room. Besides Carter and Kerry, Abby, Carol, and Luka were all in there trying to save the patient laying before them. Kerry was standing close to the gurney when Luka accidentally bumped in to it sending it into Kerry's stomach. Carter saw Kerry wince. She bolted from the room with tears in her eyes. Carter turned to Luka and yelled "Watch what you're doing" Luka didn't have a chance to respond. Abby looked at Carter " Carter you need to calm down things like that happen when you're in the middle of a trauma" Carter stripped off his gloves and gown. He glared at Abby "Yeah well when Kerry is in the room I want you to be more careful ok" Abby looked at him "Why?" she asked. Carter looked at the faces of his friends and whispered "Because she's pregnant" he turned and raced from the room leaving his three stunned friends speechless.
Carter found Kerry sitting alone out in ambulance bay. She had her hand on her stomach and a few tears were in her eyes. He sat down next to her. "Kerry sweetie are you alright" She smiled at him "Yes John we're fine but you know something what happened in there it made me realize I'm going to be a mother, me John I'm going to be a mother". Carter smiled and hugged her.
It didn't take long for the news of Kerry's pregnancy to make its way through the ER. By the end of the day everyone had congratulated her. Kerry now stood at her locker gathering her things and preparing to leave for home when Carter walked up behind her wrapping his arm around her his hand resting on her stomach. He handed her a gift bag with bright ribbons attached to it. Kerry smiled "What is this" Carter whispers "Open it and find out" Kerry opens the bag and pushes aside the tissue paper. She pulled out a tiny little tee-shirt with "If you think I'm cute you should see my mommy" written on it" She looked up at him her eyes misty with tears. She whispers "Oh John you are so sweet thank you" she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him softly. " I love you John Carter" Carter giggles and kisses the tip of her nose "I love you too Kerry Carter" He takes her hand and they leave the ER and head for home.
