Hey! Check out my website http://www.geocities.com/incognito0686 . I just started a new section called "The Daily Spiel" where I rant and rave about miscellaneous things (ER and non-ER). I also recommend you check out my site if you never have before. I'm proud of it and the poll is updated on a semi-regular basis. By the time you are reading this, I have probably murdered my grandmother, who just got into town an hour ago. So if you hear on the news about some crazed teenager who went and killed her grandmother – you will know it was me…Enjoy this chapter! Lucky 13!!!

"How was the service?" Abby asked John when he came to pick her up and saw he was in a black suit.
"It was nice. Kind of strange though." John commented. "Susan gave the eulogy."
Abby just nodded and quietly gathered her things.
"Okay, I'm ready to go." Abby smiled a few minutes later.
"Okay Miss Lockhart, you are officially discharged." A nurse said, coming into the room.
"You don't really expect me to ride in that do you?" Abby questioned, seeing the wheelchair the nurse had come in with.
"Hospital policy." The nurse smiled. Grudgingly, Abby sat down.
"Come on, it'll be fun. I'll push." Carter smiled as he positioned himself behind her. Suddenly he took off towards the elevator.
"I am so going to get you for that." Abby tried to keep herself from laughing as she lightly punched Carter when they got into the hospital. Carter just smiled.

Abby waddled up the stairs and reached into her purse, digging for her keys.
"Here, I got it." John said quickly, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his own set of keys.
"How did you get a key to my apartment?" Abby questioned.
"Oh, Susan lent me hers yesterday so I could get your stuff in." Carter admitted. A few seconds later, he got the door open and held the door open for Abby. She set her bag and her purse down and sat down at her kitchen table.
"Why don't you go lay down in your room? You've had a long day. I'll get going." John suggested.
"You don't mind?" Abby asked.
"I was going to check on Elizabeth anyway. I kind of rushed out this morning."
"I'm sorry." Abby shrugged.
"Not your fault. Besides, it was my decision and I enjoyed being with you even under the circumstances." Carter smiled and left.
Abby sighed and after straightening things up around her kitchen, she started walking towards her bedroom. She was walking down the hallway when something caught her eye. She turned and looked in the room and let out a small scream. The room that only the day before had been bare was now painted a pale blue color and had been totally decorated. Even the furniture was perfectly situated throughout the room.
She ran into the other room and picked up the portable phone.
"County General." Randi answered.
"Hey, it's Abby. Can I speak to Dr. Lewis?"
"Sure, one sec." Randi said and put her on hold.
"Abby? What's wrong?" Susan asked a few moments later.
"I can't believe it! How long did it take you?" Abby questioned quickly walking back into the nursery.
"What are you talking about?" Susan questioned.
"The baby's room. It's incredible!"
"How did you have time to decorate? You haven't been home that long…"
"You mean you didn't do it?" Abby froze.
"No. I've been here all night."
"Oh my god. I have to go." Abby stammered and hung up the phone. Thinking for a second, she suddenly dialed a second number.
"Hello?" John answered.
"You have a lot of nerve."
"What?"
"Scaring an eight month pregnant woman who already is emotional and unstable."
"Refresh my memory."
"The nursery."
"Oh. You like it?"
"I love it. How could I not love it?" Abby said, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Please don't cry. I only did it to help."
"You are the most amazing person I have ever met in my entire life and you mean the most to me out of anyone I have ever known." Abby whispered.
"Do you want me to come back?"
"No. I need a little time to sort something out. How about you come over for breakfast tomorrow?" Abby sniffed.
"Okay, I'll be there at 9."
"Fine."
"Bye." John said, hanging up the phone.
"Bye." Abby said softly and held the phone in her hand for a moment before setting it down and walking into the nursery and sitting in the rocking chair that was by the window.
