Okay, many people did not like the first chapter of this story. I'm warning you now that this story is going to turn into a Carby and if you don't like that, don't read this. For all of you carby's...please read and enjoy this story. This chapter is more of a transition from the first two chapters into the next part. Hope you enjoy.
Once again, I do not own any of these characters (still wish I did though)

"Why didn't anyone call me?" Carter demanded.
"You were upstairs with your mother." Susan explained.
"Calm down. I'm fine. You didn't need to be there." Abby said, still quiet.
"Luka and I took care of her. It's okay." Susan said.
"Are you sure you're okay?" John asked still concerned.
"I'm really fine, just a little shook up." Abby said.
"Want some coffee?" Susan asked Carter.
"Uh, sure." Carter said as Susan poured him a cup. He took a sip and then glanced at Abby again. "Do you need anything? Do you want me to go beat the crap out of him?"
"Sorry. Luka already did that." Abby said with an annoyed look on her face.
"What?" John said surprised.
"I don't really feel like talking about it. Susan can I use your shower?"
"Sure. Take as much time as you need." Susan said kindly. As Abby walked into the other room Carter took another sip of his coffee.
"Well, you two are certainly getting along." Carter said.
"Yeah we are. It's been a while since I had someone to talk to." Susan said truthfully. "How are your mother and the little boy?"
"Mickey isn't doing very well but my mother is determined to stay until the end. It's kind of strange." John said shaking his head. "Is Abby really okay?"
"She was starting to feel better until Luka called."
"Oh. How long is she going to be staying here?"
"I'm not really sure. She was talking about getting a hotel. I still don't think she's very comfortable here." Susan confessed.
"That's understandable." John said under his breath.
"Huh?"
"Nevermind." Carter said hurriedly. "I think I'm going to get going. I don't think she's very comfortable around me either. Uh, I'll call you later, okay?"
"Sure." Carter gave Susan a quick kiss on the cheek and left the same way he had come in.
As Susan watched him leave, she thought about what Abby had said the night before. Before she could think about it too much though, she heard the shower stop. A few seconds later, Abby emerged from the bathroom.
"Did Carter leave?" Abby asked.
"Yeah. He said he'd check back later."
"Oh okay."
"Here, I'll get you some clothes to wear. You're smaller than I am, but I'm sure I have something that will work." Susan said with a smile.
"Thank you for all you've done for me. I'll leave after I get dressed. I really don't want to be a burden and I'll be fine in a hotel room." Abby said as Susan handed her some clothes. She walked into the bathroom and came out in a minute with her hair in a ponytail an
"I've told you already. It's really no problem. It's fine if you want to stay."
"No, I think it'll be better if I go."
"Okay, if that's what you want." Susan said defeated as Abby put on her shoes and got together the few belongings she had brought with her. "Are you going back to your apartment? Do you want me to come with you?"
"I'll be fine. Really." Abby said convincingly.
"Well then I guess I'll see you back at the hospital. Don't come back too soon though, enjoy your break." Susan said with a smile.
"I will." Abby said opening the front door.
"Bye." Susan replied as she stood in the doorway and watched Abby leave.
"Oh, and Susan?" Abby called as she got down the hallway.
"Yeah?" Susan said.
"I hope things work out with you and Carter." Abby smiled and got into the elevator and was gone.
