Carter awoke early next morning. He showered and got changed then had
breakfast with his Grandmother.
"Gamma, what should I do? Should I go to see her or wait until she asks for me?"
"You should wait until she asks for you. She will be very tired and needs to sleep to gain her strength. She will be confused and have so many questions that she needs answering. She will ask for you honey. I know she will. Trust Me."
"Okay Gamma, but this will cheer her up" John picked up his phone. "Hello, this Dr. Carter here. I'd like your biggest bunch of flowers delivery to County hospital for a Abby Lockhart. No, cost doesn't matter! Your biggest and most beautiful."
"The card..oh yes. I'd like it to say.To Abby, may these flowers make you smile, as you begin your road to recovery. I hope you like them but know that they could never be as beautiful as you are. I can't wait to see you. Be strong Angel and know, that so many people love you, especially me. All my love, John."
Gamma walked away smiling and hope that this new day would bring hope and happiness for her Grandson.
The sun shinning in upon Abby's face awoke her early. At first she barely recognised where she was, but then the realization of her traumatic experience hit her. She sobbed quietly to herself. She pulled herself together when she heard someone coming through her door.
"Hey Abby" It was Susan. She was carrying THE biggest bunch of flowers she had ever seen.
"Susan, you shouldn't have, really."
"I'd like to take the credit Abby for these, but I cant. And can bet you $100 that I know who they are off though!"
Abby motioned for Susan to bring them over to her. She smelled the flowers and got lost in the beauty of the smell. She picked up the card.
"I'll go and get you a vase"
Abby read the card. Her tummy doing back flips inside of her, or that's how it felt anyway. She knew that she loved Carter more than any man who walked on this earth, but so afraid that if they made the change and were to be together, it would all be different. That if it ended at all, that she would lose her best friend. Her life.
Susan walked in and heard Abby sigh. "What's wrong honey?"
"You of all people do not want to hear what is wrong, honestly!" "Abby, please, if this is about Carter, it really is okay. If it had gone on any longer, I would have been mad. At him though, not you. But he told me the truth. He said it how it is. God, Abby, the man is crazy about you. Desperately in love. It has killed him not being with you and it has killed him seeing you in pain. He loves you and I'm pretty sure you feel the same way. Anyway, I am kind of wanting first option as a maid of honour!!!" Susan laughed at her self.
"Susan, could you get him for me. Tell him we need to talk. I told him not to come back till I said. And, well, I need to see him"
"No problem sweetie. He'll be here in no time" Susan kissed Abby on her forehead and left to find Carter.
Carter lay a lounger in the grounds of the Carter mansion. He felt peaceful knowing that Abby was going to be okay. If Abby decided that if she didn't want him he would be okay, it would hurt, but he would deal with it. He had promised himself this, every day that he had lay beside her in the hospital and prayed for her to wake up.
"Master Carter, Sir. There is a telephone call for you. Its Dr.Lewis phoning from the ER."
"Thank you" said Carter. "Hello Susan. How are you? Is everything okay?"
Carter heard what Susan had said and ran out of the house, grabbing his house keys as he went. "She wants to see me," he yelled.
Carter drove as fast as he could to County. He ran through the ER and up to Abby's room as fast as he could.
He turned the door handle, very slowly, full of nerves and walked into her room. She was sleeping soundly. He sat next to her and watched her sleeping. His breath was taken away at the beauty of her. She was so pretty. He was amazed at how she affected him. How she had the ability to make him smile, laugh and even cry. She had shared every emotion with him and he loved every one. He had missed her. Everything about her. He loved watching her sleep. She looked a picture of innocence. And every time he saw her it was like he was doing so for the first time.
Abby opened her eyes and saw Carter looking at her. He smiled at her and she blushed. "Hey Carter. Its so good to see you."
"And it's so lovely to see you Babe" said Carter, as he kissed her on her forehead.
"Gamma, what should I do? Should I go to see her or wait until she asks for me?"
"You should wait until she asks for you. She will be very tired and needs to sleep to gain her strength. She will be confused and have so many questions that she needs answering. She will ask for you honey. I know she will. Trust Me."
