Carol and Carter walked down the halls of the ER and John was showing her all the and outs. " So, Carter how's your social life?" asked Carol " Are you kidding," said Carter surprised " ever since I became chief resident, I don't have one." " You lie," said Carol " I know for a fact that there is something go'in on between you and the famous Abby." " Carol, where did you hear that?" said Carter knowing what she said was true " John, I can see it on your face," said Carol " you love her don't you?" " Maybe?" confessed Carter " Tell the truth, John." insisted Carol " OK she turns my stomach into knots, but that is beside the point." " AHA, I knew it!" yelled Carol. The whole staff turns and looks at Carol while Carter stands their blushing. " Shhhh," whispered Carter " I don't want the whole world to know." " Calm down," said Carol " if you and Abby keep on having those flirty little fights like earlier the whole city of Chicago is gonna know!" she said sarcastically " Funny Carol," said Carter with a smile " very funny." " Why don't you just be yourself Carter ?" asked Carol " Are you crazy," said Carter surprised " if I acted like myself she would never speak to me again."
" Stop being Dr. Carter for one minute and be John, just John," she said while patting him on the shoulder " Thanks, but no thanks," he said sadly " she would never go for that
" What happened to that suave, debinaire, " I'll go for anything in a dress" Carter I used to know?" she asked " He fell in love." said Carter shyly
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Abby unlocked the door to her apartment, slammed her keys down, and layed down on her couch * The clock says 12:37 * she thought " I wonder what he's doing," she said to herself " probablly saving sombody's life or giving someone the ' we did all we could do, but he/she didn't survive speech'!" " Or maybe he's chit-chatting with Susan and Carol in the lounge." " God, why do I think about him all the time," she asked herself " I must be going out of my mind!" * I guess I will go to sleep* she thought as she closed her eyes.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
In the ER, Carter was about to go and tell the family that their son didn't survive. " Carter, I can do it." reassured Susan " No, I'll do it; he was my patient." He walked over to the worried parents who were patiently waiting for a response. " Mr. and Mrs. Downing," they looked up at Carter; he could read 'sadness' all over their faces " hi, I am Dr. Carter; your son came in a couple of hours ago in a skateboard accident and he had a large bruise to the upper part of his skull. We tried all we could, but he's on a ventilater...* No, I just can't say it* he thought....brain dead." The mother cried out in a painful sob while her husband comforted her " Isn't their something else you can do," yelled the woman " he was my baby!" " No ma'm, he's brain dead," said Carter softly " all you can do is unplug the ventilater and let him die." " Can we see him?" asked the father " Sure." said Carter
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*******^*^*^*^***^*^*^*^*
After letting the poor boy off the ventilater, he returned to the lounge to find Susan.
" Sometimes this job sucks." said Carter " I take it the parents didn't take it too well." asked Susan " No, not well ay all." he said informing Susan " Well, he was brain dead, what else was their to do, but let him die?" " Absolutely nothing." said Carter " Anyway, how's the Abby situation?" asked Susan " Again my life sucks too." " I take it you haven't spoken to her." " Not even a little bit," said a depressed Carter " Hey where is she anyway?" " Her shift ended at 11." said Susan " Great, back into the world of broken bones, blood, and bitchy bosses." said Carter sarcastically " You weren't refering to Kerry were you?" asked Susan laughing " No, she is the best ER manager in the world!"
Dr. Luca Kovac stuck his head in the door and said " Carter, Susan we have a DOA and another GSW to the head coming in 2 and we need one of you." They turned to each other " Paper, rock scissors...shoot." they said nsync. Carter pointed his finger and laughed at Susan " Hey, it was pure luck." " Shut up Carter." said Susan with a grim look
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Chuny, Randi, Malik, and Dr. Chen were sitting at the desk discussing the 'situation' between Carter and Abby. " So guys I bet you 25 bucks they'll be together by...um..the end of the week." said Malik " I doubt it." said Deb " I don't," said Randi " have you seen the way they look at each other?" " Yeah," said Chuny " they're so cute together."
" If you ask me," said Jerry interrupting their conversation " they just need to get over the way they 'feel' about each other and get on with their lives." " There's Mr. sensetive for you!" said Deb laughing " I just think if their ever going to go out they need to do it and get it over with. Not ignore each other, have a big fight, and then confess their true feelings!" said Jerry. Abby comes in the door secretly without anyone realizing it. " If you would all kindly stay out of my business and stay in your own maybe you find out a little bit more, and secondly I am not some movie star my life isn't a game neither is Carter's and furthermore leave us alone let us deal with our own problems without help from any of you!" She stormed off leaving the nurses, the doctor, and desk clerk stunned. " Who peed in her cornflakes this morning." said Malik in a state of shock. Susan walked up to the desk " Morning Guys," said Susan cheerful " what's wrong?" " We just had a conferentation with Abby." said Jing Mei " Uh-oh, what did she say?" asked Susan worried " Well, she blountly told us to stay out of her and Carter's business." said Chuny
" I also thought it was weird she said her AND Carter not just herself." said Randi " Well, we all know she is having a rough time right now, but she didn't have to be rude," said Malik " Susan, do you think she has been drinking again?" " God let's hope not." said Susan
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Maria walked into the lounge to get a cup of coffee before she started her first shift and found Carter lying on the couch. " John,John," she said trying to wake him up " Carter!"
He fell off the couch and in a sleepy voice said " What have we got?" She started laughing and said " Carter, your shift ended 6 hours ago; you can go home and sleep." " Right, thanks Maria for waking me." he said very drowsy " No problem, by the way, before you leave,how's the Abby thing?" " Not in the making." he said with a laugh
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Carter stomped over to his locker, took of hi jacket and replaced it with his coat, grabbed his bag, and began to walk out of the ER. " Hey Carter," yelled Kerry Weaver handing him a couple of charts " can you handle these?" " Sorry Kerry," said Carter relieved " No way, my shift ended hours ago and I am outta here!" " Alright, see you around 5?" " I thought you wanted me back by 4?" asked Carter " Take an extra hour; we'll manage." said Kerry " Hey thanks Kerry." said Carter surprised " Don't mention it." and he walked out of the ER once more
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
" Time of death 8:41 AM." said Maria finally they stopped charging her patient " It's alright Maria," said Luca " it happens to some of the best doctors in the world." " I'm fine." said Maria. Robert Romano came in and said " Somebody take this thing to the morg and Maria you have a phone call." " Thanks Robert." She walked out of thr trauma room to the desk and found Jerry. " Maria, you have a call on line 4." said Jerry. She picked up the phone and pushed the button " Hello, oh hi Carter, yeah, no I haven't seen her, Susan's here, I suppose you haven't talked to Abby, ( the whole front desk got quiet)
I didn't think so, so your coming in at 5, good, talk to ya later, bye." " Why would Carter call you?" asked Jerry " We're friends." said Maria
*^*^*^*^***^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Elizabeth, Romano, and Abby were in surgery and Robert made a big mistake
" Lizzie pass me." said Robert " Abby how are his vitals?" asked Elizabeth
" BP's normal and he is stable." said Abby " Excellant," said Robert "I think all we have to do is sow 'em up." " Great," said Elizabeth " and it's only 5:36" " Did you say 5:36?"asked Abby " Yeah, why?" asked Elizabeth " 'Cause Carter arrived at exactly 5PM." said Romano " I am so sorry Dr. Romano, but would you kindly let me answer my own questions, please?!" snapped Abby " Touch-y!" said Romano " Ugh, would you please stop bringing up Carter for ONCE!" yelled Abby as she stormed out of surgery.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Dr. Peter Benton walked into the all too familiar halls of the ER until he ran into Dr. Maria Lewis. " Hello, can I help you?" asked Maria " I am not trying to be rude, but who are you?" said Benton " I am Dr. Maria Lewis, new resident." she said introducing herself " I am Dr. Peter Benton, old surgeon." he said with a laugh " Well, what do we owe this pleasure?" said Maria " I am looking for Dr. John Carter." said Peter " Oh Carter, he's with a patient in trauma 3; You can page him if you want,but do you need his number?" " No, I already have it." Peter walked up to the front desk and was greeted by Jerry and Kerry Weaver. " Hi Peter, it's been a while!" said Kerry " Hey Kerry; can I page Carter?" " sure, but he's with a patient."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^*^*^*^*^*
" OK, Mr. Holden, you're all done." said Carter " Come back in a couple of weeks and we'll remove those stiches." " Oh, I am sorry Mr. Holden I am being paged see you in a couple of weeks." " Thank you Dr. Carter!" said the patient as Carter walked toward the front desk. " Peter!" yelled Carter as he got a glimse of his old friend " Carter, I heard about you diagnosing smallpox, and I wanted to come and see the hero for myself." The desked got quiet at the sound of smallpox. " Yeah, it was just a lucky guess." said Carter with Abby on the brain " Lucky guess, you saved the whole city of Chicago!" " Well, I can't take all the credit, Abby was great too." " I heard about 'that' too!" " Who told you!" yelled Carter " Well, Jerry." You could almost see the fumes rising from Carter's head. " Jerry.......Jerry what were you thinking!" " I wasn't," said Jerry " sorry Dr. Carter." " Carter, it's OK." said Peter " No really, it isn't." said Carter " So, are you and Abby........" he stopped him before he could say anything " No, unfortunately." said Carter sadly " Why not?" asked Peter " " 'cause Abby's being a bitch," said Carter blountly " she ignores me everywhere I go except when we fight!" " Carter, have you ever heard the old saying opposites attract?" asked Peter " Yeah, but were not opposites were like enemies; have you ever seen the movie 'sleeping with the enemy'?" said Carter with a smirk " Wow, you really love this girl don't you?" said Peter " How can you tell?"
" Well, every time you get nervous or jumpy your palms get sweaty and you start to babble." " I am not babbling, why would I would I babble, I am a doctor and doctors don't babble, especially about some nurse, and did I ever tell you that she does this cute thing where she twirls her hair when she gets mad, she is so cute when she is mad did I ever tell you her favorite color is blue and she like salad-" " CARTER," yelled Peter stopping him midword " you're babbling!" " God I am aren't I." He looked at Carter and shook his head slowly while rubbing his hands together. " I love her so much." said Carter " I know." said Peter. Abby comes in the ER looking very tired " Well speak of the Devil." said Carter not realizing that he had just called the woman of his dreams a demon " Nice choice of words there Carter." said Abby not even realizing that Peter Benton was there " I always thought I was literary genius." said Carter being cocky " Shut up Carter," belted Abby " I am not in the mood for a fight with you." " Well what are you in the mood for Abby?" " Nothing that has anything to do with you." she screamed " Well I want everything to do with you because you turn my stomach ibto knots and ever since the quarantine I can't stop thinking about you so please say you'll forgive me because I love you!" "WHAT!" asked Abby. What he said finally registered into his thought process. He actually confessed to Abby that he loved her. " I said I love you." confessed Carter " Really," said Abby softly " 'cause I love you too!" They finally confessed their true feelings. Carter leaned over and found himself kissing the woman of his dreams in front of the whole ER and he really didn't care. Susan walked up to the front desk and almost flipped. " YESSSSS!!" said Susan almost jumping to the ceiling " I can't believe it." said Susan covering her mouth with her hand. Pretty soon every doctor, nurse, desk clerk, surgeon, and pre-employed member of Kook County General had witnessed it. " Wow, some first two days." said Maria almost bursting into tears " Imagine working here all the time." said a still shocked Susan
