I just watched "Great Expectations" which has to be one of my favorite
movies of all time. I'm all finished with exams now so I should be posting
more frequently. I got really sunburned this weekend (as did everyone else
who lives in south Florida) and I haven't slept in three days because there
is no way for me to find a comfortable position that doesn't send shooting
pains through my back. It's 11:15 right now so I'll probably be up for a
looooong time. Please review! Positive or negative input are both very
much appreciated. Email me at incognito0686@yahoo.com if you want to. I
check my email about a million times a day. :-D

He saw Susan sitting at the table sipping her own cup of coffee.
"Oh, Susan!" Carter said, looking up and seeing the woman. "Did you treat Abby?"
"Uh, yeah." Susan said hesitantly.
"Is she alright? Did she tell you what happened?" John asked eagerly.
"Carter, I really can't tell you anything. You'll have to ask her yourself. We actually didn't get into it that much."
"Do you know where she is now?"
"She was going back to her place. I offered to let her stay with me, but she said no." Susan replied.
"Oh."
"I think she wanted to be alone." Susan offered.
"Okay. Well I'm gonna get going. See you later." Carter said and left the room again. He quickly got into his car and sped towards Abby's apartment. He ran up the stairs and knocked on her door.
"Oh God." Carter muttered as Abby opened the door and he saw her face.
"It's not really that bad. It looks a lot worse than it is." Abby let him in and then shut the door again and locked it.
"What happened?" John said angrily.
"Can we please not talk about it right now."
"Is the baby alright?"
"Yeah, he's fine." Abby said, turning away before realizing what information she had leaked.
"He?" Carter said shocked.
"It's a boy. Susan did the ultrasound." Abby said with a small smile.
"So the word is out, huh?" John said amused.
"Let the pools begin." Abby said sarcastically, turning around.
"You shouldn't stay here tonight. Come to my place." Carter suggested after a moment.
"I'll be fine here." Abby retorted.
"Come on Abby. You shouldn't be alone. Don't argue with me." John urged.
"Okay. Fine. Wait a minute while I pack a bag." Abby stomped off towards her room. Ten minutes later she was ready to go and the two walked downstairs and got into Carter's car. John grabbed the bag as they got out of the car twenty minutes later. He showed her to the guest room and got all her things set up for her. A couple minutes later he went to his own room. He got changed and laid down in his bed. He had just started to fall asleep when there was small knock on his door. He got out of bed and went and opened the door. He was surprised to see Abby standing on the other side. He could see she was upset though so he let her in.
"You were right. Can I stay in here with you?" Abby whispered, trying not to cry.
"Sure. You can go sleep in my bed. I'll stay on the couch." John said comfortingly. Abby wrapped her arms around her body and headed towards the bed. Carter lay down on the sofa and once again started to go to sleep when he was once again awoken.
"John. Will you come sit in bed with me. I can't fall asleep." Abby said, now crying.
"Sure." Carter said taking her hand and leading her back towards the bed. Abby got in under the covers and John sat down on the other side of the bed and watched her.
"Thank you." Abby said sleepily before her eyes closed.
"No problem." John whispered and kissed her forehead before laying down on his side of the bed and closed his eyes as well.
