Chapter 5: Your Love Lives On
"Can you, can you tell if its a boy or girl" Kerry smiled "Well lets just see" She looked and watched as the baby moved a little. It moved just enough for Kerry to see the sex. She smiled "Are you sure you want to know. Elizabeth nodded. She suddenly became nervous. She grabbed Peter's hand. Kerry took a deep breath "Elizabeth you're having a boy" Elizabeth started to cry softly. " A boy, are you sure" she whispered. Kerry nodded "Yep its a boy alright" She squeezed Peter's hand. "Its not fair" she whispered. He looked at her "what's not fair" he asked. She sighed sadly. "Mark loved his girls but he always wanted to have a son" "He'll never get to see or hold his son Peter its not fair"
Peter gently wiped away a few tears from her cheek. "I know its not but I know that he'll always be with us in spirit" "He's probably up there with Lucy watching us right now" Elizabeth smiled a little "I bet David's with him too" Peter smiled "You know what I told Reese when Carla died I told him that she would always shine down on him from heaven and I know that Mark is shining down on you Elizabeth" She drew him into a hug. "Thank you Peter for everything" Peter smiled and kissed her cheek. "You're welcome Elizabeth"
A few hours passed and Elizabeth had finally gotten some much needed rest. She emerged from the exam room she had been in . She looked around the busy ER. She walked over to Carter. "Hey Carter, where's Ella" Carter smiled. "Elizabeth you look much better" She nodded "Yeah I really needed that nap" Carter nodded "So I heard Mark left you a little surprise" Her hand automatically went to her stomach. "How'd you know" He smiled "Kerry told me" She sighed "Oh" she whispered. Carter gently touched her hand. "I think its great" "I'm here if you need anything" She smiled "Thanks Carter" He smiled "Sure, Ella's in the lounge with Peter" She hugged him and headed to the lounge.
She opened the door. She smiled as she watched Peter talking to Ella and softly bouncing her on his knee. Peter looked up and saw her in the doorway. "Hey did you sleep well" She nodded "Yes for the first time in 2 weeks I can say I slept well" She walked over to them and kissed Ella "Hey you are you having fun with Uncle Peter" The baby smiled and giggled happily. Elizabeth smiled "Well I'll take that as a yes"
Susan walked into the lounge in search for a cup of coffee. She saw Elizabeth. "Hey I heard you were here how are you holding up" Elizabeth smiled "I'm a little better especially since I found out Mark left me a little something" Susan looked at her "He did?" She nodded "I'm pregnant" Susan smiled "Really!? That's great how far along are you" Elizabeth smiled "16 weeks I'm due on Mark's birthday" Susan hugged her "That's great Elizabeth I know we haven't really been the best of friends but I want you to know I'm here for you if you need anything" She smiled "Thank you Susan I know that would mean alot to Mark"
She nodded " Are you going to tell Rachel" Elizabeth sighed "I hadn't even thought of Rachel I suppose I should tell her" Susan smiled "I think she'll be very happy" Elizabeth nodded "I was awful to her, all I could think about is Ella "Susan nodded "Rachel knew she was wrong and now she's in counseling" Elizabeth smiled "I'm going to tell her" Susan smiled "She'll be thrilled" "Well I better get back to work" She hugged Elizabeth hand left the lounge.
Elizabeth stood there looking at the phone. She finally picked it up and dialed the familiar St. Louis number. It rang a few times when a woman answered. "Hi Jen its Elizabeth I'd like to see Rachel" Jen was anything but pleased. "You kick my daughter out of your house and now you expect me to let her come see you I don't think so" Elizabeth could hear Rachel protesting in the background. Elizabeth smirked "Well it sounds like she wants to come to me" Jen snapped "Oh what would you know you British" she stopped herself . Elizabeth laughed "I don't care what you call me now are you going to let her come or what" Jen sighed "Fine whatever she'll be there" Elizabeth smiled "Thank you Jen" Jen sighed "Yeah whatever" and hug up the phone.

"Hey Rachel how a are you" Rachel smiled a little "Okay I guess, I really miss my dad" Abby sighed "Yeah we all miss him, I think Elizabeth is in the lounge with Peter and Ella" Rachel nodded "Okay thank you Abby" She went to the lounge and slowly walked inside.
