I'm studying for exams and I think my brain is entirely fried. It's only
9:30 and I'm completely exhausted. So if you don't like this chapter,
just realize that I have physics on the brain and am not 100% sane. This
chapter is a little shorter than some of the others, but I think it's just
as powerful. The next chapter should be up sometime soon because I'm going
to start working on it in a few minutes. Hope you enjoy. Please keep
reviewing!!

Twenty minutes there was a knock on her door and Abby opened it quickly.
"I thought you said you weren't pregnant!" John burst.
"The test must have been wrong." Abby said, still in a daze.
"So what are we going to do now?" Carter asked.
"I don't know."
"Is it okay for me to give you a hug?" Carter asked with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Why?"
"Well you are having a baby. I think that's good news. Don't you?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Isn't this what you wanted?" John asked quizzically.
"I'm not sure. I don't know if I can do this."
"Four weeks ago you wanted to. You can't just change your mind like that. It's not fair."
"Not fair to who?" Abby shot back.
"Not fair to our baby."
"This isn't our baby. It's my baby. I told you I don't want you to have any part in this."
"You told me to come over here. You asked me help you. I did both willingly. Don't play that game with me."
"Please leave." Abby said walking over and opening the door.
"Damn you." John said and stormed out of the apartment.
Abby shut the door and went and sat down on her sofa. She grabbed a blanket and laid it over her body. Subconsciously she let her hands slide onto her stomach. She jerked them away, however, when she realized it. She stood up and went to her purse and opened it to pull out a pack of cigarettes. Once again realizing what she was doing, she dropped the pack and went into her bedroom. She got under the covers and went to bed.
Two mornings later, she got up early and got dressed. She took the elevator up to the fourth floor of the hospital and signed herself in. She sat in the chairs until the nurse called her name and followed her back into the room behind the office.
Twenty five minutes later, she once again emerged from the elevator and walked into the lounge in the ER. She ran straight into Carter and instantly started sobbing.
"I couldn't do it." Abby cried. "I couldn't do it."
"Shh. It's okay. We'll be okay." Carter comforted her and pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "You'll be okay."
