IMPORTANT: Okay, I didn't really explain an important party of the story in this chapter, so I'll add it up here. The first section is from Abby's point of view as she's remembering an event of her life as a young child. Similarly, the Carter section right after is a memory John is having. Sorry if I didn't make that well known in the story.
This is kind of one of those review chapters where I regroup and go on from there. This has to be some kind of record with me posting new chapters two days in a row. Maybe this is a sign that my spring break is over and I'm starting to be organized again. Ooh, "Hanging By a Moment" is playing on the radio. Geez, every time I hear this song I think of Carter and Abby…hmmm…. ;-)
Hope you enjoy! Please review!

"Abwy, I'm hungry." A little boy pleaded with his older sister.
"I know Eric. I'll get you something soon, okay?" The twelve year old replied.
"Okay." The boy's eyes started to well up with tears.
"Please don't cry. You'll wake Mama up." Abby said sternly. The boy continued to pout and Abby took his hand and squatted down to his level. "How about we play a game?"
"A game!" Eric said excitedly, suddenly perking up.
"Yes. What game do you want to play?" Abby asked the five year old.
"Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy" A voice screamed from another room.
"Here's a game. Let's play hide and go seek. You go hide and I'll count." Abby ignored the loud yelling and continued placing all her attention on her brother.
"Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy"
"One. Two. Three." Abby counted loudly.
"Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy. Where's my baaaabbyyyy? Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy"
"Four. Five. Six."
"Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy."
"What?" Abby stomped into her mother's room with her hands on her hips.
"Oh, there's my baby. Come here darling." Maggie cooed.
"What do you need Maggie?" Abby asked sternly.
"Why do you hate me? Why does everyone hate me?"
"Because you never take your medicine." Abby said to herself in her head, but aloud said, "No one hates you."
"You hate me. I know it. Little girls who hate their mothers aren't long for this world. Just remember that." Maggie said sitting up in the bed quickly and swinging her feet over the side to point and wiggle her finger at her daughter. Abby backed out of the room and went towards where she knew Eric was hidden waiting for her to find him.
"Eric, come out. Let's play another game." Abby whispered.
"Here I am! You found me!" Eric popped out from his favorite hiding spot.
"Let's play spaceship to outer space. Come on." Abby dragged the boy into the closet as she heard Maggie get out of the bed in the other room. Quickly, she shut and locked the door, knowing what would happen next. A few minutes later there was a loud banging throughout the small apartment.
"Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy. Aaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyyy."
"Shh." Abby whispered to Eric and placed her small hands on his ears. She kissed the top of his forehead and leaned back against the wall of the closet. The doorknob shook as Maggie went through the house searching. Abby heard objects falling on the floor and drawers opening and closing. She closed her eyes and sighed and prayed that this almost daily ritual would be over soon.

He had not cried at the funeral. He had been strong, just like he promised his brother he would be. He had stayed facing forward, just staring at the casket throughout the entire service, afraid that if he looked away, some sort of emotion would hit him and he wouldn't be able to keep his promise to Bobby. Once, his grandmother had placed her hand on his shoulder. It took biting his lip very hard to stop the tears from coming. Bobby had only been thirteen. After the funeral, many of the guests returned back to the Carter mansion. As John entered the house, he was able to escape to his room without any knowing. It was then, after he removed his tie and fell onto his bed, that he cried. It was then he noticed that Trudie had entered his room without his knowledge. She came and sat down on the bed beside him and he soon found himself being comforted by her. Trudie had arrived about six weeks earlier. While new help was not an unusual thing, John had not really paid much attention to her until right now as she was sitting next to him.
Suddenly John realized that Trudie was kissing him on the mouth. Although he wanted to resist, he was too weak and didn't have the strength to push her away. He had been kissed before. He had attended party's where they played Spin the Bottle. This kiss was different though. The others had been innocent kisses just intended for the purpose of the game. This kiss was deep as though meant for something else. Slowly, Trudie started unbuttoning John's pants and pushed him back onto the bed. It was over in a couple of minutes. John didn't really know what had happened. All he knew was that when he woke up, Trudie was gone and his shirt was untucked and his pants were around his knees.

Riiiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiing.
"Hello?" Carter answered on the fourth ring.
"John?" A concern voice asked.
"Yes?"
"You need to get over here right away."
"Why what happened?" Carter asked worriedly.
"It's Abby." Kerry Weaver said flatly.
"Oh god. What happened?"
"She was in a car accident…"
"The baby?"
"The baby is fine. She's asking for you though."
"I'm on my way."
